Arkonsas And The Big Hot

A big fellow named Vance Muse, who
wears cowboy boots and fancy lO-gallon
hats. migrated" from Texas to Arkansas
a few years ago and began preaching
Freedom to Work"
This freedom, he said was God-glven-
and the blankety.blank trade unions had
no right to interfere with it.
Although Muse was expose as a
smooth operator who had mined the sucker
lists some 10 times, Arkansas legislature
passed his pet measure, thus outlawing the
closed shop.
Muse, leader of an outfit called
Christian-AmeriCan, then moved into othei
states, preaching the same sermon. Some
times he got his ears pinned back. Some
times he succeeded.
He became a great buddy OF the
demagogs and union-hating induStriallsts.
We don't know what happened to Muse
(because we haven't done any recent close
checking on him) but we know what hap.
pened to the freedom to work" idea ne
planted in state which then had few
union members.
1t spread slowly at first, then more
rapidly. Thirty-six states enacted measures
outIawing the closed shop or the union
shop or sharply limiting union security
provisions.
Then Congress enacted the Taft-Hart-
ley Act, which bans the closed shop and
permits the union shop only among work
ers who have expressed desire for 1t in
an NLRB.conducted election.
1t would be ridiculous for us-or Muse
to assume that Christian American de-
serves all the creditor discredit-for
widespread passage of anti-labOr measures
And we're not nearly as interested in
Muse as in the trend toward regulation
and control of labor unions.

Unions Becoming
Much Too Strong

Many of the persons who advocated or
voted for the Taft-Hartley Act and other
anti-union legislation will tell you their
action resulted from their feeling that
"the unions were becoming much too
strong"
Just ask them, TOO strong for WHAT
and watch them squirm.
They were becoming too strong for the
comfort of employers who believe en-
ployes should have nothing to say about
the condition under which they work and
live.
They were becoming too strong for the
comfort of the monopolists, the business
bossed politicians, the Open-shop indus
trials, the preachers of property-rightS-
above.human-rights
They were posing a dangerous threat
but not to the welfare of the nation. The
threat was to those who shouted about
preserving democracy but gave ii only lip
service-and to those who got the cock
eyed idea that about 900 of the fruits of
capitalism should go TO those to whom the
newspapers refer as Capitalists"
The very nature of the Taft-Hartley
Act and other anti-labor measures gives
the lie to the Often-repeated statements OF
sponsors that they had no desire TO weaken
or destroy trade unions.
Among the most avid hackers of the
measures were men who have tried almost
every scheme under the sun to bust the
unions with which they dealt.
Well where do we 60 from here?
Toward an era in which trade unionism
is smashed in the courts and the legislative
chambers?
Toward period in which labor takes
its rightful place in the sun and speaks
with as much force as management?
That will depend largely on what
happens at the polls this and in the years
to come.

I'm Getting Impatient
BY Ruth Taylor


I'm getting impatient with people who color
the truth, who twist the facts to suit their
own interpretations, who dress up half
baked theories and personal prejudices,
like the shoddy restaurants who spend
their money on sleazy decorations rather
than on good food.
Consider carefully the sources and
reasons back of all the propaganda
you hear ~
I'm getting impatient with persons who
think it smart to be rude. who tear down
everything of a constructive nature, who
never have good word for anything or
anybody who irnpute evil to all in high
places.
Remember that no man Is omniscient
enough to know another mans mo-
tives, and that when he imputes evil,
he is reflecting his own thoughts
I'm getting impatient with Soloists, with
those who have to be in the limelight or
they won't play, who can't cooperate.
who won't take subordinate role, whose
only conversation is of how great they
are and who only speak of others to be-
little them.
Listen well to the speeches you hear
and you can evaluate the worth of the
speaker for yourself
I'm getting impatient with half-liars, with
welshers, with those who cannot o..
facts, who don't want to know the triis..,
but prefer their own version of it. And
this applies to both people and nations.
Keep this country of ours-and our
labor acknowledgement and ready
to at all times fight the attacks of
this breed of cat
I'm getting impatient with false friends,
with those who crawl and flatter when
they can get something, and run like
scared rabbits when they think there is
nothing in it for them.
Keep score on this kind-and
DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER!

AFL- Guards Union
Denied Bargaining
Rights By NLRB

Washington (LPA) = Bank
guards were denied last week the
right to affiliate with the trade
union of their choice by the NLRB.
The Boards decision Interpreted the
Taft Hartley Act to mean not only
that guards cannot be part of the
same bargaining unit as other
workers, but that their unions can
not even be affiliated with an
international whose membership in
cludes other types of employees.
The City Natl Bank of Chicago,
and it's subsidiary the City Natl
Safe Deposit Co., had consistently
refused to bargain in good faith
with the Protective Service En-
ployes Union, Local 240 of the Build
ing Service Employees Int'l Union
AFL. Trial examiner James r.
Hemingway before the passage of
the Taft-Hartley Act upheld the
unions charges against City Ma
tional and recommended that it be
ordered to desist from its anti-labor
practices.
But by the time the case got to
the board Taft Hartley was on the
books. So, the Board after noting
that the trial examiner was correct
in his findings, said that his recon-
mendation can not be adopted be-
cause of the Taft Hartley provision
that no union may be certified as
representing guards if "such or
ganization admits to membership
or is affiliated directly or Indirect
ly with an organization that admits
to membership employees other than
guards"
This section of Taft-Hartley was
designed primarily to keep guards
out of unions of production work
ers. But so loosely is it worded that
the Board has Interpreted it to
mean that a local union made up
entirely of guards cannot ba affil-
lated, with any regular labor organ
ization, even when there is no ques
ton of the guards being "com-
promised" by associating with pro-
duction workers in the plants where
they work.
