status under the Wagner Act but nothing in Cases proposal would prevent a firm like Allis- Chalmers keeping its workers out on strike for nine months despite the facl that it had been cited for violation of the Wagner Act by the NLRB.
 In addition to subjecting labor tc the anti-monopoly laws, Cases 1egis- lation would give Congressional sane ton to state anti-closed shop laws. This presumably would tend to dis courage the US. Supreme Court from invalidating such laws when they reach the top tribunal. For calling a sympa- thy strike a union would "cease to have the status of labor organiza- tion' under the Wagner Act for any period ranging up to two years.
 ssNUISANCE" SECTION
 One of the more puzzling nuisance" sections of Cases bill provides that employers shall have the right to bar gain collectively through representa- tives of their own choosing" Asked whether he could cite an instance where an employer was forced to bar gain through an agency not of his own choosing, Case said he did not know of any. Still another nuisance" clause which represents step toward Sen. Balls prohibition against industry wide bargaining declares that If the NLRB determines that the unit ap- propriate for the purposes of collective bargaining includes the employees Of more than one employer, no one of such employers shall be bound by such determination unless and until he shall have signifed to the board in writing his willingness to be SO bound /" Case's prejudice against both the Labor Dept and the NLRB is founded on his suspicion that both agencies are interested in strength ening unionism., He proposed to junk the U. s. Consolidation Service outright and transfer all its media ton and conciliation functions to a new Industrial Disputes Commits sion'' which would be composed of five men, each drawing down 12,- 900 a year plus expenses.
 "SURPLUS ISSUE"
 "If we have mediation board" said Case, "it should be free and indepen- dent of the Labor Dept. Employers have found the Consolidation Service to be balanced in favor of labor" Sim i1arly he would give the Attorney General, instead of the NLRB alone,

against union political contributions an outlawing of tuion-adnlinistered welfare funds; fines and jail sentences ranging up to $10,OO0 and six months.
 PROTESTS TOO MUCH
 Sen. Smith, protesting that he could not understand why William Green opposed such legislation as the BITS bill, argued that 'In the past labor has been victimized by ruthless employers now it's being victinized by ruthless union leaders" He expressed strong fear of industry-wide strikes, particu- larly at the possibility that labor might coordinate strike strategy against the steel, auto and electrical industries.
 Case, whose bill is considered by labor lawyers as the more vicious of the two, declared that elf there is another coal or steel strike, Con- gress will go further than my bill. . He admitted that he had not con. suited with any labor leaders or even sought their opinions in pre- pairing his legislation. Instead, he pulled out of his fan mail penny postcard which was signed "A un- ion leader-would be killed if my name were known"
 Case contended that his new bill is stronger and stood much better chance of being passed over presi- dentia1 veto. He pointed out that he had removed two provisions to which Truman had objected-the outright ban on any organization by foremen and permission to employers to obtain anti-union injunctions.
 IN FORM ONLY
 The injunction provision was changed only in form, however, he ad- mitted. Under his new bill the attorney general is authorized to cite a union or an employer for unfair labor prac- tices. Under the Wagner Act only the NLRB may now file an unfair prac- tices charge and that only against an employer. All that would be required under his measure, said Case, would be for the employer to persuade the Justice Dept that union was guilty of an unfair labor practice.
 Even withdrawal of any essen. fial maintenance employees during a strike would be considered an un- fair labor practice under Cases de finition. Violations by union mem bers would deprive them of their

 Both the Labor League for Human Rights, AFL. and National Commit nity Services, CIO, have played ma jor roles in boosting Chests to the point where more than $170,000000 has been raised nationally for hun1ani- tartan services.
 According to Krick, one of the ma jor items in the future Chest program is the development of a close Chest organized labor relationship. Steps are now being taken fin this direction. Krick called on labor leaders to 'help create this teamwork so that the en- tire community can benefit"

the right to bring unfair labor prac- tices charges because "the public would know that unfair labor practices would be handled from the public point of view, not from the NLRB's prejudioed attitude"

How Portal Suits Are Born

CHICAGO (DPA)-The indiffer- ence of employers to the Wage-Hour Act-basis for the portol-to-porta1 suits - was dramatically illustrated here last week when the government charged the Albert Given Manufac- turing Co. with 76 violations of the law. The firm was charged with pay ing employees less than the 40c an hour minimum, with employing chil- dren under 16, failure to pay tine-and- a-half after 40 hours and falsihcation of wage-hour records.

further that those enterprises
already nationalized become a
losing proposition.
Here is what has happened:
Renault workers make the best
1-ton light delivery truck.
However, it is sold for 10000
francs less than its nearest
competitor, for 10000 francs
less than similar efficient
trucks. Through this procedure,
figures are beginning to show
loss for the Renault firm.
The Minister of Industry is
now trying to prove that ma
tionahzation is not probable.
The Citroen auto plant is
still owned by a private firm.

mors are rampant that General

PARIS - (ALN) - The U. S.
isn't the only place where the
cost of living is soaring beyond
the workers reach. Food prices
in France are IL times above
the 1888 level; general prices
are 10 times higher. Wages
have risen only 51s times in
the same period. Workers tell
you it was tough to make ends
meet even in '38.
I visited quite a few plants
throughout France, from the
large steel mills of Longwy, in
Metx-Nancy region, to the Ber-
liet truck plant in Lyon and
the Renault, Citroen and Ford
auto plants in and around Paris.
Renault, with 10000 workers
making autos, trucks, locomo-
tives and a host of other prod
ucts, is a nationalized plant. Its
administration is made up of a
director appointed by the Min
lister of Industry and a Com
mittee of Enterprise elected by
the workers. All questions are
settled by these men except
price and wage setting, where
the government has the final
word.
