II this provision Of the Act
is read in connection with
the prohibition Of the closed
shop and the restrictions on
the union shop, one can cas-
lily doubt either the intelli-
gence or the good intention OF
the law-giver. On the one
hand. the Taft Hartley Act
makes unions liable for dam
age suits; on the other. II
makes il difficult for union
leaders 10 build the discipline
necessary TO the observance
Of contracts. Without union
security the power Of union
officers are greatly weak
ened
II is questionable also
whether the blanket prohi-
bition or boycotts as an un-
fair labor practice is wise
legislation. When a boycott
is used 10 win an immoral
jurisdictional strike or for
some other immoral purpose,
II, too, is immoral. But sup
pose the purpose Of a boycott
Is the reform Of an unjust
employer. Can II not be pre-
sumed that the customers Of
such an employer have an
obligation at least not to en-
courage him in his evil ways
by buying and using his pro-
ducts Or suppose that the
labor standards in an entire
industry are threatened by
few anti-union employers. IL
II immoral to boycott the
goods Of such employers II
the state is going 10 outlaw
the boycott, il would appear
TO be bound TO provide some
other means to deal with such
cases.
On the surface il seems en-
tirely fair TO protect the right
OF free speech Of both the
union and the employer. But
the nature Of industrial rela-
tions is such that on the en-
ployer's side free speech NAV
often skirt the edge beyond
which lie intimidation and
coercion. Whether or not this
provision will gravely handi-
cap workers in the exercise
OF their right TO organize will
largely depend on how the
Act is administered. Until
that time. the moralist would
be wise 10 suspend judgment.
Even labor leaders admit
that most jurisdictional strikes
cannot be justified. But q

erately by a policy of placing
non-union men on Jobs hith-
erto regarded as falling with
in the unions jurisdiction.
And under the Taft Hartley
Act, the union shop is more
difficult TO win than was for
merly the case.
1t is impossible 10 see in
this clause of the Taft-Hart-
ley Act anything but an in
vitation 10 employers 10 gosd
unions into committing illegal
actions. Except by striking
against the unilateral deter
mination by employers Of iu-
risdictional questions, whether
these involve individuals or
competing unions, there is no
way under the Act whereby
the union can have its claim
TO the disputed jobs arbl-
trated by the National Labor
Relations Board. To secure a
decision by law, the law must
first be violated.
The moral question raised
by the withdrawal from SUI
pervisory employees of the
legal right TO bargain collec-
tively--even in the case where
the union of supervisors IS
separate from the union OF
rank and file workers-seemS
exceedingly difficult One
might be inclined to believe
that at the current stage OF
the evolution of industry SUI
pervisory employees have no
natural right to collective bar
gaining through a union of
rank and file employees. TlN
relations between labor and
management are still chsrsc-
terized by a spirit OF class
warfare-as the passage OF
the Taft Hartley Act and the
reaction TO II by both unions
and employers prove--and on
ly in a few industries. and
in scattered corporations IN
other industries. is there any
feeling Of mutuality Of in
terest. In these circumstances,
supervisors can only be re.
garded as representatives OF
management. and top man
agement has a right 10 their
complete loyalty. To permit
supervisors to join rank and
file unions for the purpose OF
bargaining with top manage
ment would seem 10 violate
this right.
The same argument. II valid

Some well intentioned en-

this Is true Il is hard te see
that employers have any obi

unions or bargsin with theHi.
On the other hand, II Il pos
sible that EMPLOYERS are exas,,

VETS INSURANCE DIVIDEND
FORMS AT Pc AUGUST q

Application forms for the special
G. |. Insurance dividend for World
War II veterans will be on hand
at the Wrangell postoffice, at all
VA offices and at all veterans SER
vice organizations on August 20,
according to the Veterans Admin
straaion.
approximately 10000 World Wal
II veterans in Alaska will share in
the $2,S00,000,00O dividend fund
to be distributed to 16 million poll
cy holders by the VA.
Veterans whose insurance has
lapsed are still eligible for the
dividend, provided their policies
were in force for at least three
months before the end of 1947, the
VA said.
The application form is a simple
one, with comulete instructions on
how to fill it out. If veteran has
misplaced his insurance number,
he need not be concerned, accord
ing to the VA. Inclusion of his SER
vice serial number and his branch
VI SCI VICE Ou lu6 dppllCdLlOH Will
serve to identify his account.
After the application is filled
out, it is to be mailed to the Vet
Grams Administration in Washing
ton, DC. The VA will acknowledge
receipt of the Application.
Veterans should give the VA an
address where they will be for at
least six months. Because of the
tremendous size of the job, the first
dividend checks will not be mailed
until sometime in January 1850.
The VA hopes to complete the dis
tribution in June 1850.

SHADES OF 1871!
FIRE HALL AGAIN
FULL OF SALMON

A salmon pack in Southeast AL
aska comparable with 1871 was
forecast this week as reports from
most districts indicated the run
was continuing in volume.
Two record seine hauls were
made at Anan Creek Last Saturday
Capt. William Willard and crew of
the ARB 6 took $500 in one haul
which required Is hours to brazil
from the seine with the assistance
of two other boats, the Eagle and
Sanco ont of Wrangell The fish
went to the Independent Packing
Company in Ketchikan, operated
by Fred Gunderson, formerly of
Wrangell
Monday, Capt. Tom Rustad of
Petersburg with seiner Melody
picked up $4,000 in the same area.
They We're sold to the Harvest
Wrangell plant here.
The run at Anan was said to be
the strongest showing in years in
that stream. The creek is still
jammed with fish but they have
passed their peak quality and Ii
was not expected any more would
be canned from that area.
Packers reported approximately
million and a quarter fish were
taken from the stream this season.
Traps generally reported II
abundance of fish and if the run
continued at its present rate, it
was possible an extension of a few
days after Sept. 3, might be grant
ed. Most canneries were swamped
with fish and crews were working
night and day.
Locally, it was reminiscent of
1871 as the fire equipment was
moved out of the fire station to be
replaced by cases of canned sal
mon. The big planer shed at the
sawmill was filling rapidly and
other storage space soon would be
needed. There was a possibility the
Harvest Cannery might get up 1907
900 cases. The Binkley Cannery, a
smaller operation, was running at
capacity and probably would get
up a record pack.
