State Lows Complicdte
NLRB Union Shop Case

three states which prohibit union
security, despite the fact that they
are in the same bargaining unit as
workers in four states which have
no barriers to such contracts.
Since section Ia (b) refers only
to prohibitions, however, the board
decided that it can ignore the Wis
consin provision and permit North
land Greyhound employees in that
state to win the union shop by a
majority vote.
In separate opinion, board
Chairman Paul Herzog pointed out
that the NLRB had erred in a pre-
vious decision which said that state
anti-union laws must be honored
even when workers in states ours
ed with such ordinances are in the
same bargaining unit as workers
in more fortunate states.
Since the current case involved
of an interstate carrier,
the board also had to figure out in
what state the various workers are
actually employed. Finally it rul-
ed that the location of the office
to which the interstate drivers re-
port is the determining factor.

Washington (LPA)-The tortu-
Gus collection of state laws aimed
at depriving workers of union shop
protection was partially reviewed
by the NLRB last week. Confront
ed with a request from the Anal
gamated Assn of Street Railway
& Motor Coach Employes-AFL for
a union shop authorization poll of
employees of the Northland Grey
hound bus company, the NLRB
held that under Taft Hartley it
must honor state prohibitions of
the union shop, but not state regu-
lations of union security contracts
that fall short of prohibitions.
The company operates bus routes
in eight states and Canada. State
laws in three of the states-1owa,
South Dakota and North Dakota
prohibit the union shop. A fourth
.Wisconsin-requires a two-thirds
vote of the workers involved for
the negotiation of a union security
contract. Taft Hartley requires
vote.
Bound by section IA (b) of Taft
Hartley, the board had to deny un-

TWUA To Ask For
1O-Cent Pay Boost

Boston (LPA)-Taking advant-
age of wage reopening clauses, the
Textile Workers Union of America
is demanding a Zoe hourly pay
raise for 120.CC0 cotton and rayon
workers in New England and the
mid Atlantic area. TWUA Presi-
dent Emil Rieve said this week.
Rieve's announcement followed a
meeting of more than 400 dele
gates from cotton and rayon textile
plants. Last Saturday, delegates of
wooden and worsted locals of
TWUA initiated a similar wage
claim, as did representatives of
cotton dyeing and finishing work
ers. Wages programs for other
dyers and finishers have yet to be
determined.
All in all, more than 216,000 tex
tile workers will be affected by
TWUA's latest wage drive, Rieve
declared. He said that, if won, the
new pay rates will go into effect on
January Is, 1949. The contracts
provide for arbitration if no agree
ment can be reached between
TWUA and the employers.
A 10c wage increase would estab-
lish a SLOT hourly minimum and a
S1.30 average hourly wage in union
cotton and rayon mills. Woolen
wages are higher.
President Rieve cited the all-time
high profits of textile firms as evil
dence of the industry's ability to
meet TWUA's demands. He said
that the union is resolved to con-
tinue it's progress toward eliminat-
ing the sub-standard wages tradi-
ton of the industry.

Pdtmdn Calls Cdpehdrt
Victim Of Propaganda

Washington (LPA)-The special
committee headed by Sen. Homer

compassed by the invisible fog"
of big business soft soap, Rep.
Wright Patman d., Tex charged
last week. The Texas monopoly
fog declared that the Capehart in
vestigation of q Federal Trade
Commission attack on the basing

only in "a lot of propaganda"
against the antitrust laws.
Patman promised that when he

AS the House committee resumed

that he had turned down an invita-
ton to testify before Sen. Cape
hart's committee. Capehart's inves-
tigation of the ETC rulings is
stacked in favor of the big corpor-
ations, Vetter charged.
Meanwhile, Capehart did some
charging too. When an ETC offc-
ial, Associate General Counsel
Frank Wooden, said that critics of
the anti-basing point rulings are
trying "to destroy the antitrust
laws" Capehart said that Wooden
is "prejudiced" and has "outlived
his usefulness to the commission" "

Labor League Has
Complete Record
On Con. 0'Konski

! Washington UPA) - Labor's
League for Political Education,
political arm Of the AFL, is pre-
pared to throw the book at Taft
Hartleyite Congressman Alvin f.
O'Konski (R., Wis., when he shows
up in Washington next January to
resume his House seat.
Last week LLPE published a
complete record on the anti-labor
legislators shenanigans. The testi-
mony was prepared by one Of the
nations leading liberal daiies, the
Madison, Wis, Capital Times. Edi-
tor William Evjue and reporter
Cedric Parker are largely respon-
sible for marshalling the facts,
LLPE said.
In addition to putting one of his
creditors-a local Republican lead
er from whom he bought news
paper-on the congressional pay
roll as a means of paying off the
debt, O'Konski also syphoned off
secretarial pay to his wife, the
evidence indicates.
Despite this, O'Konski reported
that his wife received mo separate
income"
Subsequently, the Wisconsin un-
ion-hater paid his wife for office
work out of the funds from his
newspaper venture. His publishing
company was reimbursed, however,
from kick-backs from other en-
ployes on his congressional staff.
Capital Times editorials several
years ago led to a Wisconsin Tax
Dept investigation into the ways
in which O'Konski increased his
personal income by Juggling the
payrolls of Congress and his priv
ate business ventures. The state
authorities found that from 1912
to 1914 the legislator had upped
his own take by S28,285. Ultimately
it extracted $1732 in additional in
come taxes from HIM.
In January 1916, O'Konsyi ad-
mitted that Martin Vickers, the
man from whom he was buying a |
appeared ION both my
shop payroll and on my congress
ional secretarial payroll. He did not
have any duties as congressional
secretary.
"He was on the payroll merely |
to bet the balance the government
me for secretarial assist
ance. A congressman cannot draw
that money personally. Someone
else has to be on the payroll to
draw the money. Therefore | put
Martin Vickers on the payroll" :"
Despite this admission O'Konski's
fitness to serve was not questioned
by the Republican 80th Congress.
LLPE is resolved that his activities
will be well known to members of
the 81st when it meets early next
year.

AFL-LLPE's Fight

airy Congressman Alvin O'Konski
(R., Wis.,.
OK onsk j, like Un-American
Activities Chairman j. Parnell
Thomas (R., n. j., is alleged to
have received a "kick- back" from a
man whom he placed on his con-
gressional secretarial payroll
without the gentleman's having TO
show up or do any work. The Wis
consin union-hater has admitted
that one Of his staff never came to
Washington, and that he just want
ed TO be sure somebody had the
chance to collect the dough that
Uncle Sam makes available to the
office force Of legislators.
He denies that he received a
''kick-back." 1t happens, however,
Evjue revealed last week, that
O'Konski was at the time buying
up a small town newspaper owned
by his 'employe." The editor of
Capital Times, like LLPE, wants to
know if the government funds were
applied against the purchase price.
