Anti-Union Talks
0kayed By Board

Washington (LPA)- Reversing
a decision of the Wagner Act days,
the NLRB last week ruled that it
is not an unfair labor practice for
an employer to compel workers to
listen to anti-union harangues on
the eve of a collective bargaining
agent election.
The section of the Taft Hartley
law guaranteeing "free speech" to
employers was cited by the board
as its reason for reversing the pre-
vious ban on compulsory attendance
at anti-union "pep talks"
The Babcock and Wilcox Co., of
Augusta, Ca, "invited" all it's en-
ployes to listen to the opinions of
plant superintendent Carl Claus
shortly before the holding of an
NLRB vote. Endeavoring to organ
ize the plant was the United Stone
& Allied Products Workers.
In it's first speech to the work
ers, Claus, while attacking the
union, asserted that the workers
were perfectly free to vote for it
and that the company would not
hold pro-union votes against them.
But his later addresses omitted
these reassurances.
A trial examiner ruled that
forcing the employees to listen to
these speeches on the eve of the
election, plus less formal efforts
of other supervisors to discourage
the workers from voting union con-
stituted coercion.
But citing the Taft Hartley pro-
vision, and the remarks on en-
ployers' free speech in Congress
when the 1947 anti-union law was
being debated, the board over-ruled
him.

Just Two Weeks To Make Your Plans For Picnic
AFL Downs
Mundt Bill

Washington (LPA)-AFL Presi-
dent William Green said last week
that AFL attorneys who have stud
led the Mundt- Nixon anti -Commun-
ist bill fear that parts of it can be
used against labor unions.
Speaking to the convention OF
the Hatters Union-AFL, Green al
lied himself with CIO President
Philip Murray and liberal political
spokesmen in opposing the Com
munist registration proposal.
/. The AFL president said that by
a,the time the bill reaches the SEN
ate, the AFL will have prepared a
full statement on it. "We are afraid
sections of the Mundt bill might
be used against labor organizations.
There are some very serious i'm
plications in the measure. We are
uncertain it will accomplish the
purpose set forth in the BILL" Green
explained.
The Nat'l Farmers Union said
last week: "The bill is unquestion-
ably unconstitutional"
Despite the fear of the proposed
legislation voiced by anti-C -Commun-
ist unionists, liberals, and civil lib
critics advocates, the House passed
the bill 319 to So last week.
Altho the 215 Republicans who
voted for the measure could have
passed it unaided, they had the sup
port of 104 Democrats, including
Reps. Sam Rayburn (Tex.) and
Joseph Mccormick (Mass.) the of
ficial Democratic leaders in the
House. President Truman has indi-
Gated that he does not intend sign
ing the bill if it passes the Senate.
Only eight Republicans, 48 Demo-
Gratis, and two minor party Com
gressmen voted "No."
Meanwhile, Rep. Karl Mundt r.,

struction will begin early in June
on plant addition to be used prin-
cipally for decorating shop and
warehouse facilities.
The addition which will be erect
ed on the 18th street side of the

steel and concrete construction.
The major portion will be one-story
and part will have two floors. 1t

Private Club Unions
Opposed In Court Test

New York City (ILNS)-Labor
unions which bar qualified workers
from membership by Outrageous
restrictions" and which operate as
private clubs" were attacked by
the American Civil Liberties Union
in brief filed in the highest New
York court, the Court of Appeals.
The ACLU supported 10 employees
of the Rockaway News Supply Co.,
of Valley Stream, L. l., who have
been denied membership in the
Newspaper and Mail Deliverer's
Union of New York which is said
to limit new members to sons of
members in good standing for 20
years.
The ACLU, represented by Os-
mond X. Fraenkel of New York,
raped the unions alleged attempt,
in conjunction with the employer,
to maintain a "closed shop" togeth-
er with "closed union" The brief
argued that the union "in seeking
to establish itself as an exclusive
club, while maintaining a monopoly
of all jobs in the employees line
of work, is not persuing a legiti-
mate union objective" The ACLU
the doctrine that labor
unions are voluntary associations
with an absolute right to reject
membership applications, maintain
ing that the analogy between pri-
vate clubs and labor unions cannot
stand "at a time when unions have
become part of the very warp and
woof of democracy"

Dishmakers Will
Hold Important
Meeting, June |

Very important business is on
tap for the members of Local
Union 20 at their next meeting
on Tuesday evening, June 1st, and
the officers of the Local would
like to see every member present.
1t is of the upmost Importance
that the members take heed of
this notice as the time has come
when we must rally to defend in
fractions creeping into the trade.
In addition to our troubles on the
home front, various rumors have
been received from outside shops
that flat ware jiggermen are MAX
ing the round-footed dish.
This work definitely belongs to
the dishmaker and we intend to see
that they have it. Our advice to
fellow tradesmen in the outside
shops is to contact your employer
Immediately regarding this matter.
If no efforts are made through this
procedure to correct the situation,
then bring your case to headquar-
ters. By all means do not let the
matter ride. The longer such situa-
tion prevails, the harder it is to
correct. Act now to insure the in
terests of your trade.
After 48 years a member of Lo-
cal Union 20, Bro. Hugh Wilson is
discarding his apron and will join
his fellow buddies, Arthur Bostock
and Harry Webb in retiring from
the trade. Our sincere wishes that
these brothers enjoy the best of
health for many years to come.
Bro. Charles Rigby was report
ed on the sick list. We hope by the
time this appears in print, Charley
will have shaken off his illness and
be back at the bench.
Harry Brindley was elected dele
gate to the convention in Allan
tic City with John Cain being
chosen as alternate. Harry has rep
resented Local 20 at numerous con-
and we feel he is we'll
qualified to represent us at the an
nual parley.-O. C. 20.

the Revelation of St. john"
which was composed by Mr..

Leroy J. Peacy, Christus of

Continued from page II
weeks of going into the Nandi
reserve and witnessing to the
lost, and inviting the children
to Sunday School. At first we
were rather discouraged as the
natives promised to come to
Sunday School and Church but
failed to come. 1t was a little
more encouraging last Sunday
as % Nandi came to the SER
vices, which was nearly double
the attendance.
We know that except God
be with us our work is in vain.
He has promised in Isaiah IS:
1-3, II will loose the loins of
kings, to open before him the
two-leaved gates, and the
gates shall not be shut; I will
go before thee, and make the
crooked places straight: I will
break in pieces the gates of
brass, and cut in sunder the
bars of iron: and I will give
thee the treasures of darkness,
and hidden riches of secret
places, that thou mayest know
that l, the Lord, which call
thee by thy name am the God
of Israel"
Thank God for this promise!
1t not only applies to us here in
Africa, but to you, a home
missionary, as we'll.
Isabelle and | feel that the
Lord has gone before us and
Strengthened some of our crook
ed paths. We do thank Him
for answering our prayers on
behalf of the Nandi tribe. HUI
manly speaking, they are very
hard-hearted. They have
heard the Gospel many times
and have refused it, but
"Thanks be to God, Who giveth
us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ" i Corin-
thians 1857. Faith is the vic
tory and we must keep on
trusting.

eral Overseer, that I have ap-
preciated all that you and the

that we will be faithful to the
task set before us.

NEWS FROM THE
PHOENIX BRANCH

In response to a call made by
Elder Barton, the men of Zion
Mountain View Chapel gather
ed on Tuesday night, May 4th,
and accomplished a consider
able amount of work on the
Chapel premises and building.
The installation of the septic
tank and plumbing was COM
pleted under the efficient
direction of Deacon Ivan Beall,
the final touches of painting
were added by Deacon Otto
Lawrence and his crew of help
ers, and general cleanup of
the litter that inevitably &C
companies building operations
was accomplished: so that now
our "Place of Worship" is COM
plete and in good running Or
der. We have much to be
thankful for and we do rejoice
in God Who has prospered the
work. Seeing it is little more
than a year since we began de-
finitely to plan for this struc-
ture, we can say with those of
other times, "See what God
hath wrought"
The potluck supper was a
huge success, and, incidentally,
we learned what a fine ban
quet could be gotten up by the
men of the congregation
Though no doubt we all had
help from "the distaff side" of
our homes). At any rate, it was
a great incentive to do our
best on the job.
We are glad to report that
the attendance at our Bible
School on Lords Day mornings
continues we'll above the hun
dred mark. According to the
report from Monrovia by Cor
respondent Bertha Kesler, we
will soon have to begin plan
ming another trip, to attend
the dedication service of the
latest Zion Branch Chapel.
We read with great interest
the reports from the various
Branches of the Christian
Catholic Church, as we'll as the
reports from our Missionaries.
Let the reporters continue the
good work and thus foster the
great Zion Family spirit.
For this time we will say,
Mizpah! - "Till He Come"
= and what a joy to think that
the time may be very soon.
May He guide and bless each
one, and especially those at
Headquarters who have i'm
portant decisions to make for
the good of the whole Church.
