Take My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Words tn Watch.

Overheard on the Town Meeting:
Such an act would be SAY-kri-
LIDGE-uss." The word used Is
sacrilegious. There is no authority
whatever for the SAY" sound In the
first syllable The speaker who used
it is an educated and eloquent man.
1t is incredible that he does not know
that there is no SAY" in sacrilegious.
In standard American the word Is
pronounced: SAK-ri-LEEjuss; or:
SAX
The latter pronunciation, while
prevailing in the United States and
now enjoying dictionary sanction,
actually is based on false association
with the word religious, nonrelated
word. Sacrilegious (note the r-i-l-e
spelling) does not come from reli-
gious (note the r-e-l-i spelling), but
from the word sacrilege, which
meant originally, "the crime OF
stealing sacred objects" Sacrilege
stems in the Latin sacer, sacred"
while religious is from relig1o.

Though no slightly weaving

NLRB Voids
Shoe Vote

WASHINGTON, April II
IPA)-In one of its strongest
opinions since the passage OF
the Taft-Hartley law, the
NLRB last week voided an
election in which the Boot a.

feated because of the General
Shoe Corporations anti-union
campaign.
The board held that even

the workers did not feel that they

The boards decision was a

Herzog and board member Muir

agreed but added that the en-
ployer was actually guilty Of "un'
fair labor practices"
Board members Gray and
Reynolds dissented, maintaining
that since the company hadn't I

Among the tactics employed
by the anti-union firm was the

Its Policy

"A policy statement of the
UAW-CIO Executive Board
concerning locals of the

oers of the auto union last week
THE UAW-CIO will not in

statement read in part. "There

means, and If necessary by with
drawing from CIO entirely in or

the UAW-CIO will issue charters
to them, in order to protect the
position of National CIO, and in
order that these workers may
enjoy membership in a CIO

Reuther commented, "that recent

Taft-Hartley law.
Jumping the gun was Rep.
Fred Hartley (R., N. j. who
is pushing his new anti-strike
law to totally disrupt industrial
relations. But Taft, a presidential
candidate, is willing to stand pat
on his .1947 statute.
In announcing that committee
hearings on the ft-Hartley
law will open on May "a, Ball
implicitly admitted that the act
hasn't worked as well as the re-
cent report of his committee tried
to make the public think. The in
estigation will concentrate on the
NLRB's administrative dillemmas,
evasions of the Communist dis
clainer section of TIL, employer
agreement to bootleg" closed
shop agreements, union welfare
funds, and the national emer'
gency sections.
Suggest Special Court
One suggestion before the COM
mittee is that a special labor
court be established to hear "un-
fair labor practices" complaints,
leaving the NLRB with jurisdic-
ton only over representation
problems. Even Ball has been i'm
pressed by the damage done to
collective bargaining by the ap-
parently insurmountable 10000
case backlog of the NLRB. He
thinks that representation elec.
tions should take place within
three weeks of the filing of a
petition.
Hartley's latest brain child Is
bill to make a strike against
two or more competing employ.
ers a violation of the antitrust
law, in industries involving the
national safety and welfare"
Mine and steel strikes would be
ruled out, Hartley said, but 'if it
we're only in a couple of laun-
dries I'd let EN- fight it out"
Whether the New Jerseyan's
magnanimity would extend, for
example, to the clothing industry
- in which bargaining with a
number of employers simultane-
ously has long been the practice
remains to be seen.
Hartley Fears Ruling
A court ruling against the
miners union may lead to a
flareup," Hartley said, which
would force him to rush his bill,
which may come up for hearings
this week in the House Labor
Committee of which he is chair
man.
Meanwhile, Hartley's erstwhile
partner, Sen. Taft, told a meet.
ing of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors that strikes
can't be prohibited unless the
government adopts complete
program of wage and price con.
trolls. Since the Ohioan opposes
price controls he feels forced to
object, also to proposals for pro-
hibiting strikes. He thinks that
the TIL thing has achieved a
great deal of success"
