conference with Mr.. Luton rep

Hull representing the Union where
we hithertoo non-potters" have re-

tricacies of the craft and the his
tory of the industry, which has been
a continuous evolutionary process
beginning with the hand presser
and by trial and error through the
years to the present day of mass
production methods. One feels rath-
er proud in being identified with
the sanitary branch of the pottery
industry because of it's Importance

MEANY WARNS CHAOS
WOULD BE FRUIT OF
TAFT-HARTLEY BILL

md undermine the union by by
passing its agents in settling griev-
ances. 1t would effectively check
organization of new unions be-
cause, under a broad interpreta-
ton of the words 'coerce' and re-
strain hundreds of charges could
be brought against unions for
merely exercising their lawful
rights in organizing workers into
trade unions.
4-Injunctions: "The use of in
functions in labor disputes is re-
established in a more pernicious
form than ever before. The bill
requires the Board to apply for
and the court to issue an injunction
against a union if it is charged
with unfair labor practice before
the charges have been proved, even
though such charges may be en-
tirely without foundation. The
Board is permitted but not required
to apply for injunctions against
employers for unfair practices. This
is a very unfair discrimination
against workers. Any employer by
merely charging a union with un-
fair practice can require the gov
ernment to get an injunction which
may restrain a union from perfect
ly legitimate acts during a period
as long as year or more while
the case is being examined. The
government becomes the employ
er's agent in embarrassing the
union. Employers can thus effec-
lively use injunctions to stop work
ers from organizing, to throw them
into Jail for normal trade union
activity or even for striking as a
last resort Government by men and
not by law is the result Of the bill"
5-Union Shop: "The bill out
laws all CLOSED shop agreements
and permits only an illusory union
shop. Over 1870 Of the Is million
organized workers in America are
employed by arrangements who
have negotiated and signed union
security agreements. These agree
ments, numbering some 10000 will
all have to be processed by Board
which has been deprived of it's staff
of experts and is already behind
in its work to the extent Of 5000
cases. Even today, with it's smaller
case load and a large review staff,
the Board takes about nine months
to settle elections and similar
cases, Yet every one of the union
security agreements becomes lille
gal one year after the effective
date of the bill-or when the agree
ment terminates if that is earlier.
6-Destroys AFL's traditional
non-partisan political policy, and
forces organization for direct poll
tical action. 'The bill makes it inn
possible for a union office to is
sue information on the records of
candidates for public office. 1t pro-
hibits unions from spending funds
or making a contribution to politi-
cal primaries, election campaigns,
caucuses or conventions. The AFL
has always centered it's efforts on
economic progress and stayed away
from power politics on a group or
class bias. By informing its men,
bers Of the records of political
candidates and urging them to vote
for labor's friends and punish it's
enemies, the AFL has supported
those candidates of both existing
political parties when they work

Washington UPA)-The Taft
Hartley bill would inevitably
bring chaos to American industry
AFL Secretary-treasurer George
Meany warned last week
1t would take the Natl Labor
Relations Board at least 10 years,
said Meany, to conduct the $4,000
separate elections required by the
bill before existing union-shop con-
tracts could be extended. Meany's
estimate was based upon the fact
that the maximum number of cleo
tions which the NLRB has even
succeeded in holding in any one
year has been only slightly in ex-
cess of 5000. In fact, it would take
more than 10 years, said Meany,
to check current contracts as they
expire, because the Board also must
conduct thousands of elections on
representation and union shop
clauses in new contracts.
The AFL's Labor's Monthly Sur
vey, in an analysis of the bill, de-
clared that the legislation would
completely cripple collective bar
gaining. "The entire BILL" said the
Survey, "is conceived in spirit of
vindictiveness against unions, re-
lection of collective bargaining the
principle of equality between en-
ployer and union. 1t restores the
domination of management thru a
vast government bureaucracy"
Here are the chief points of the
Surveys analysis:
collective bargaining: Equal
ity of bargaining power is destroy
ed, the union is no longer strong
enough effectively to support the
workers cause. Government boards
and courts with procedural delays
are brought between employers and
workers, impeding the normal pro-
cess of contract negotiation. Liti-
cation is invited, diverting the nor
NAL development of sound and CO.
operative relations between work
ers and employers into a process
that leads to lawsuits, court ac-
tion and power politics."
2-Workers' Rights and Liber-
ties: Although workers rights to
organize is supposedly accepted by
the bill, the right is so circumscrib-
ed as to be practically nullified.
By charges of coercion" in sell
ing unionism to non-member fell
low workers, union may effective
ly be stopped from organizing. 1t
isan unfair labor practice to "re-
strain or coerce employees" but
these words are not defined and
may be so broadly interpreted that
injunctions can be brought against
union representatives for doing
things which are essential to build
a strong organization and to insure
industrial freedom and peace.
These and many subtle, deceptive
prohibitions, which are difficult to
foresee and interpret, are enforce
able by the Board and by suits for
damage in federal courts. A union
may be prosecuted twice for the
same act, once in federal and once
in state courts. Gwen criminals are
guaranteed that they will be tried
only onceD"
3-Unions to Be Destroyed: "The
bill makes it difficult to organize
new unions, but easy to desorgan-
ize existing unions. 1t provides for
employer petitions to decertify
revives the company union;
allows the emnlovar To circumyant
