Murray Asks
Congress Aid
People Looking
To Washington

WASHINGTON (LPA) - In
radio speech over the ABC
network, CIO President Philip
Murray last week asked Con
gress to roll back prices. An
adequate anti-inflation program
and an investigation into the
price and profits policies of big
business since the end of OPA
are the foremost things which
Murray called for in this special
session.
The CIO head also asked for
passage of the Taft-Ellender-
Wagner housing bill, repeal of
the Taft-Hartley law, passage of
civil rights legislation, an i'm
proved social security program
higher minimum wage and
several other important meas
ures.
'The people are looking to
their representatives in Wash
ington," he concluded THE
responsibility of the Congress is
clear, The duty of the Congress
is evident. The time to act is
now"

NLRB Continues
Pincer Campaign
Encirclemenf On
Unions Continue

WASHINGTON (LPA)-The
NLRB's encirclement of small
business and the unions in retail
trade continues. Last week a
trial examiner ruled that a re-
tail Photographic store in Cali
fornia comes under the Taft
Hartley laws jurisdiction.
Only $500 of the firms $780,
700 gross sales for the year end
ing March 1948 were out-of-state
sales. But, the examiner said,
the fact that it buys $4,000 of
its 100000 worth of merchan-
disc in interstate commerce puts
its workers under the tender
guidance of the federal anti
labor law.
Therefore, Local 905 of the
Retail Clerks AssoCiation-AFL
can no longer have a closed shop
contract, the examiner declared.

Boss Mustn't Threaten
TO Move, NLRB Kolds
Interference And
Free Speech Cifed

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Em-
! ployers may not threaten work
ers, about to vote for union rep
resentation, with closing down a
plant and moving their business
the NLRB reported last week,
The case in question was brought
by the United Paperworkers of
America-CIO against the Hinde
& Dauch Paper Co. of Richmond,
Va.
Although the NLRB reiterat-
ed its former rulings that threats
to move, and quizzing employees
about how they're going to vote
constitute interference with the
workers rights to a free vote
in an NLRB elections, it also re-
affirmed its recent decision that
workers attend company
denouncing unionism
is legitimate exercise of free
speech"
The Board voided the "no
union" vote that resulted from
coercion and ordered
a new election at the Richmond
plant.
