Ct. Unions Grapple With Labor Law

standing labor relations experts told The Union Times this week.
 But this law nor any other law like it cannot stop unions from growing !; they will simply grow thru turmoil" declared this industrial relations au- thority who asked that his name not be used. He warned that too much hope cannot be placed in the law be- ing overturned by the Supreme Court. If the courts can do what they did in upholding the Wagner Act they can sustain this," he said.
 The law may very possibly break down on the complicated election machinery alone, he contended. ''We now have about 5000 NLRB elections year. The new law would permit employers to call for cleo tions and also permit multitude of elections on craft lines. On the closed shop there are thousands of agreements here the union has never been certified miners and the musicians, for example. They will have to have certifcation elections. And then 30 days after ward another election on the closed shop. Then there must be vote on the employers Hast offer in sO- called national emergency cases.
 About 45%o of our contracts today call for a closed shop; each will have to be legaized," he continued. "The total number of contracts is probably above 100000 There are 5000 in the Int'l. Association of Machinists alone. Election will pile upon cleo tion, and remember the agreements can be reopened every year at em- ployer request. Maybe the NLRB could hire trailers with the men 1iv- ing in them and send them from place to place to hold elections.
 DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
 Even If NLRB election procedure doesn't break down, industrial rela- tions will be in a constant state of campaigning, like the last three months of a national election" the labor expert predicted. "There will be tension, overloaded emotions, the conditions that can result in losses in production. It doesn't make any sense-and every craft that wanted to break away could call for an election" |"
 The extraordinary powers be- slowed by the law on the Boards general counsel, called ssIabor czar" by several Senators, were strongly assailed by the industrial relations authority. ''The general counsel acts for the Board even

Railroads Again Refuse Raises

CHICAGO-(FP)-Despite record profits and recent rise in passenger fares, the nations railroads June 25 formally rejected demands of Y non- operating unions for a 20c hourly raise. They claimed it would increase their annual payro11s by $524 million. and they "just couldn't afford it."
 Standing firm. c. w. Leighty, head of the unions negotiating committee, said: "20c is still our minimum" He explained that incorporating employees are entitled to more than the 15c na- tional pattern because their pay has not kept pace with that in other major industries.

Canada Plans
 Buyers Strike

GLACE BAY, MS. (LPA) = A buyers strike, organized with the in- itiative of the Canadian Congress of Labor Unions on Cape Breton, is be- ing planned in cooperation with simi- lar moves in other Canadian prov inces. Housewives representatives met with representatives of the Dom lnion government in Ottawa last week, urging that prices be rolled back.

 ssIf that is the intent of Congress in amending the Corrupt Practices Act through the Taft-Hartley Act. then it is our firm opinion that the law also applied would be illegal and unconstitutional as an invasion of the freedom of speech and press guaranteed as a civil liberty under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution" Padway said.
 ssFULL FREEDOM
 Under the Bill of Rights any union whose purpose it is to further its own social and economic program by seek ing the election of candidates favor able to such program or the defeat of candidates unfavorable to such pro gram has full freedom to use the ia ci1ities of press, radio, handbil1 or speech to accomplish objective, and no law can flatly and unqualifedly destroy this freedom, he asserted.
 "We therefore advise that, in con- uection with either a caucus, a con- vention, primary election or final cleo tion, labor organizations may expend such funds as they desire to compile and distribute to their members and affiliates and to the public the voting records, speeches, or other statements of federal candidates"
 The A.F.L. was advised that:
 The unions may purchase radio time and discuss the merits and de- merits of candidates and their plat form in relation to labor's welfare.
 Unions may print or have print ed newspaper ads or articles con- taining similar discussions.
 They may send officers and or ganizers to make speeches at union as we'll as public meetings and may pay for advertising and hall hire for such meetings.
 They may even invite a candi- date to appear at such meeting if the purpose is to have him explain his position on matters of interest to labor.
 In short, labor unions may con- tinue to engage in all the ordinary activities which in the past had GUS tomarily been engaged in by them af- fecting political candidates and par ties, when the unions purpose is to further its own social and economic program and when such activities are undertaken without agreement or ar engagement with any candidate.
 MEET JULY 9
 The A. F. of L. lawyers, meeting was held in advance of mass policy conference of international union of fcers in Washington called by Pres ident Green, for July 9.
 As for the 'sno-strike" clauses, Padway said these are generally given by unions in return for the closed shop.
 Since now unions cannot have the closed shop and cannot eject or dis cipline members for any reason ex- cept non-payment of dues, we will advise the international unions to give no more no-strike clauses to employ ers," he said.
 THIS IS IMPORTANT

|T-H Law Shows
 Early Results

DALLAS, Tex.-(FP)-The first labor injunction under the Taft-Hart- ley law was issued here June 25 to halt picketing in secondary boycott.
 The injunction, curbing the activi- ties of local of the Int1. Bro of Boil ermakers, Iron Shipbuilders & Help CTS (AFL), was granted by district judge w. L. Thornton at the request of the Southland Steel Co.
 The union struck June 20 when the company refused to cease purchasing material from another struck Dallas firm. The judge ruled the situation constituted a violation of the anti-sec- ondary boycott provisions of the new law, but said he was not enjoining the union from striking but only from picketing.
