| NLRB Decision Due
Soon on Legality Of
Maritime Hiring Halls
BY the Associated Press

The National Labor Relations
Board soon will issue its most inpor-
tant ruling 50 far under the unfair
labor practice sections of the Taft
Hartley Act. 1t concerns maritime
hiring halls"
This decision, which may be hand
ed down this week, will mark the
first time the five-man board has
dealt with the labor laws ban on
discriminatory hiring practices.
Two NLRB trial examiners have
lifted the hiring hall issue 10 the
board level by announcing their
findings on the subject. =.
Held NMU in Violation.
On June "a, Examiner Howard
Myers held the CLIO National Mari
time Union violated the law by de-
manding continuation of its hiring
halls on the Great Lakes. 1t is this
case that the board is expected to
rule upon shortly.
Yesterday, Examiner Wallace E.
Royster held that the same union
and also the CLIO American Radio
Association violated the law by de-
manding a continuation Of their
hiring halls in Atlantic and Gulf
ports.
A hiring hall is an institution by
which union furnishes new en-
ployes when needed.
Neither trial examiner found such
institutions illegal in themselves,
but only when they make for dis
elimination against nonunion en-
ployes.
Claim Act Violated.
Both examiners said the unions
demands for the hiring halls consti-
tuted violations of the Taft artly
provisions which say a union:
l. Must bargain in good faith.
2. Must not try to cause employers
to discriminate against nonunion
workers.
The major difference between the
two examiners findings is that Mr..
Myers, in the Great Lakes case, said
the hiring hall demand also violated
another Taft-Hartley provision
which says a union hall shall not
restrain or coerce employees in the
exercises of their right to refrain
from union activities.
Mr.. Register, in the East Coast
case, said the hiring hall demand
was not coercion of employees.
