NLRB Gets First Case
Union With
Unfair Labor Practice
Boord to Hear Appeal
By Denhum on Strike
Against Shoe Firm
By jones Y. Newton

The National Labor Relations
Board today received it's first
case involving a charge against
a union of unfair labor practice
under the Taft-Hartley Act.
In the case the five-man board Il
called on to decide whether wild.
cat" strike, one in violation of 8
contract, is coercive of an employer
and therefore an unfair practice un'
der the new law.
Involved are the Perry Norvel
Co., shoe manufacturer of Hunting
ton, w. Va; the CIO United Shot
Workers and the Perry Norvell Shoe
Workers Committee, an organiza'
ton which the company ha:
charged is front" for the C1O
The unfair" charge was flee
against both the union and the com.
pany by the NLRB general counsel
acting for the employer.
The case came to the full NLRE
on an appeal from a ruling of trial
examiner who dismissed the charge
several weeks ago. Appeals were
made by the general counsel and
the company. The examiner is
Horace A. Ruckel.
Denham Asks Reversal.
In asking the board to reverse
Mr.. Ruckel, General Counsel Robert
N. Denham took exceptions to every
finding of fact, every conclusion Of
law and the final reasoning of the
examiner.
The facts showed that the Norvel
company employees were represented
by the AFL Boot and Shoe Work.
ers, who had a contract with thu
firm which. had several months tx
run. The CIO union was attempt
ing to organize the plant and there
apparently had developed wide
difference of allegiance even among
those listed as officers of the AFT
local.
On August 20 an employe wa!
discharged by the company and tht
next day workers of his department
demanded reinstatement. When tn,
company refused, the same day
strike was started which finally
closed down the entire plant.
The company and general counse
charge that the strike was designed
to force the company to recognize
the CIO rather than a protest ol
the discharge.
Contract Violation Denied.
"The theory Of this case" the
company's brief to the NLRB states
lis that a wildcat strike, in viola
tion of an existing valid collective
contract, which has for its purpose
the voiding and renouncing of saio
contract and the usurping of func-
tions of exclusive bargaining agent
(AFL) is not only an unlawful strike
but also is an unfair labor practice
since it deprives the employees OF
their rights guaranteed them under
section 7 of the act (the right to
self-organization and to bargain
collectively through representatives
of their own choosing)."
The general counsel contends that
strike of that type renders ineffec-
tive the efforts of the exclusive bar
gaining agent to represent all
workers in the plant. thereby deny
ing the workers right to such repre-
sentation.
The CIO not only denied that the
strike was an effort to force recog-
milton by the employer, but also
that the strike was in violation oi
the contract.
On the latter point the loosely
worded provision for settlement Of
grievances in the Norvell contract
bars strike action until all peace.

Immunity Is Granted
Personnel Testifying
In Murphy's Trial
D. e. Heads Act on .Plea
Of Battalion Chiefs
Wishing to Bore incidents
By NewboId Noyes, L.

The Commissioners today
granted immunity to all wit
nesses in Fire Chief Clement
Murphy's decentralization" trial
from any action which might
be brought against them as a
result of their testimony.
The action resulted from re-
quest for immunity by seven bat
talon chiefs in the department who
want to testify against their
superior officer but are afraid OF
what might happen to them If they
do.
An order granting the immunity
now is in preparation at the District
Building. The Commissioners saio
they had acted on the recommends
tion Of Special Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Daniel B. Maher
prosecutor III the case. The three
man civilian trial board also had
indicated its hope that the i'm
munity would be granted.
Testimony on Inefficiencies.
The immunity was requested by
the chiefs to enable them to testify
to specific ineff1ciencies which they
contend have resulted from Chief
Murphy's program of rotation OF
personnel Under department rules,
it was explained, they already should
have reported the alleged ineffl-
ciencies to Chief Murphy and might
be subject to charges OF violating
the rules if they disclosed them
now to the board.
Defense Attorney Martin F.
O'Donoghue had opposed granting
the immunity, on the ground that
the Fire Department is semi
military" organization and that in
fractions of its regulations cannot
be overlooked, however they may
come to light.
William J. Rowan, attorney fol
the complaining witnesses, said Fire
Department officers could not be
expected to report to Chief Murphy
inefficiencies which were caused by
his own actions. Mr.. Maher sup
ported this view.
Mr.. Rowan also said he had given
the board another example of why
the battalion chiefs felt they might
be in need of immunity.
Price Asked to Explain.
He said Capt. L. F. Price, who
had spent the day recently in the
witness room, waiting to testify
against Chief Murphy, had received
an order from the chief directing
him to explain in writing why ht
was there and who had told him tx
appear.
Trial Board Chairman Austin F
Garfield said it seemed to the boar6
this incident resulted from "a mis-
understanding" AS he understood
it. the trouble was that Mr.. Mahel
had not planned to call Capt. Price
as a witness, although Capt. Prizes
believed he was to be called. Chief
Murphy's order, apparently sought
to establish the reasons for Capt
Price being absent from duty.
Mr.. Garfield said he wanted II
understood that Mr.. Maher, as
prosecutor, had the power to order
any witnesses he wanted to appear
and that the Fire Department must
