Labor Act Affidavits
Silly Aiken Asserts;
Early Test Likely
By james Y. Newton

The controversial non -Commun-
ist section of the Taft-Hartley La
Dor Relations Act was described as
silly" and perhaps unconstitu-
tional today by Senator Aiken, Re-
publican, of Vermont.
This opinion was given as it ap-
peared the section, which has re-
suited in a boycott of the National
Labor Relations Board by AFL and
CIO unions, appeared headed for
an early test.
Senator Aiken said he favors
an amendment of the new labor act
which either would eliminate or
clarity the section.
The first test case of the Commu-
ist section is being brought by the
AFL International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers. The union
asked the NLRB to reverse a ruling
Of its Baltimore regional director
that he could not handle a union
petition for a shop bargaining cleo
ton because top officers OF the AFL
had not filed non Communist affi-
davits prescribed by the act.
Affidavits Filed by Officers.
The brotherhood had asked the
NLRB for certifcation as bargaining
representative for workers at Radio
Station WARL in Arlington.
Daniel w. Tracy, president of the
international, said that officers of
his union and of Local 1915, involved
directly in the dispute, had COM
piled with the Taft-Hartley law by
filing the required affidavits that
they are not Communists. .
He said. however, that Ross M.
Madden, director of NLRBs fifth
region, had refused to process the
election petition because of the
failure of AFL officers to file the
papers.
The controversy over the section
of the act resulted from ruling by
Robert N. Denham, NLRB general
counsel, that not only were officers
Of individual unions and locals re-
quired to file afndavits, but top Of
tlcers of parent organizations such
as the AFL and CIO as we'll.
Ruling Called "Ruinous."
Last week in Chicago, John L.
Lewis, a vice president of the AFI,
blocked action by the federation's
Executive Council on the Com
munist affidavit issue. Mr.. Lewis
said that he would never sign an
affidavit, and under Mr.. Denham's
ruling such action by a single AFI
officer bars services of NLRB to all
los federation unions.
Mr.. Tracy said in q statement
that Mr.. Denham's ruling. as II
stands, will prove ruinous to labor
management relations and the well
fare of our country" =.
Presumably, members of the
NLRB itself have the authority te
reverse MIR. Denham's ruling on ap.
peal from q decision involving 6
bargaining representative election
case. The new law gives the board
and not the general counsel the
responsibility for handling bar
gaining elections.
Mr.. Lewis, an avowed anti Com
munist, is fighting the Communist
affidavit provision as part of his
battle against the entire Taft
Hartley Act. He contends that Or
ganized labor's position would be
weakened If 1t gives in on any one
point of the law.
