suspended sentence yesterday in
District Court and placed on pro-
baton for about six years for

Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut, who
imposed sentence. placed Maj.
Hoffman on probation until the boy

Maj. Hoffman had pleaded guilty
to the cruelty charge, which was one
of two counts in an indictment re-
turned last August. The other ac-
cused Maj. Hoffman of assault with
a dangerous weapon for allegedly
beating the boy with an electric
cord, but this later was dropped.
Police quoted the boy, Rene A.
Hoffman, as saying Maj. Hoffman
stuffed his mouth with cotton and
taped his mouth and eyes with ad-
hesive tape before administering the
beating. Maj. Hoffman said he
spanked the boy because he had
run away.

ELKINS. w. Va, Jan. 29.-A West
Virginia sheriff Is looking today for
artificial feet for a boy he helped
save from freezing to death.
Sheriff D. E. erosion directed
searching parties which found John
Helmick in woods. The youth and
two companions got lost in a snow

told his feet would have to be ampu-
tated.
A strong bond of friendship had
developed between the sheriff and
the youth. When he learned ams
putation was necessary his only COM
ment was II would like to have
Sheriff erosion here when they do
it."
The sheriff walked beside his
friend to the operating room. He
waited four hours while the youth
underwent amputation of both feet

Strike Injunction
Used by Truman
OnIy,Few Times
BY the Associated Press

The power to obtain court injunc-
tions against national emergency
strikes" has been used by President
Truman in only q handful Of cases.
He first employed the authority,
given in the Taft-Hartley Act, when
a walkout of 900 AFL workers
threatened to halt operations last
March at the Oak Ridge, Tenn,
atomic energy laboratory.
The Government, on direct
instructions from the President,
obtained an injunction at Knoxville
which halted the walkout. The dis
pute, over wages, subsequently was
settled.
The second use of the injunction
power was in April, 1948, when the
Government obtained a restraining
order in District Court in an effort
to halt q coal strike called by John
L. Lewis. head Of the United Mine
Workers.
The third use Of the injunction,
with its 80-day cooling of period,
was in June, 1948. when the Gov
ernment got three separate orders
hating q maritime strike on the
East and West Coasts, the Gulf
Coast and the Great Lakes.
The Government also used the
injunction authority to forestall o
threatened strike of $4,000 East
Coast dock workers last August.

Miscellaneous Provisions.
Title w of the bill contains mis-

1t says the Norris-LaGuardia Act

Clayton Act of 1914 Chose two laws

aren't applicable to section 10 Of
the Wagner Act.
Section 10 is the section that en-
ables the NLRB to get ifjunctions
to enforce its orders. Thus the ef,
feet of the new provision is to pro-
hibit labor injunctions except for
the purpose of enforcing NLRB or

The service director would be ap-

The bill would knock out all past
Taft-Hartley cases involving unfair
labor practices unless such a case
could be processed under the old

typographical Union, would be
tossed out.

Provisions of Toft-HortIey Act

for union to try to cause the en-
ployer to discriminate.
Those provisions prohibit the
CLOSED shop. (Under closed shop
contract, the employer agrees to
hire only members of particular
union and to fire any worker who
loses his membership
They also prohibit any hiring
halls" in which union members are
favored over non-union people.
There is special provision, how
ever. that permits union shop"
contracts under certain conditions,
one of which is that q majority Of
the workers must give their ap-
proval in an election. I'm q union
shop, the employer can hire any
body he pleases, but each new work.
er must soon join the union and
remain a member or lose his job.)
Employers Unfair Practices.
There are three other "unfair"
practices for employers:
1t is unfair" for an employer to
dominate a union or help it finan-
cially; to fire a worker for filing
charges or testifying under this law;
and to refuse to bargain in good
faith with a union which has been
chosen by the workers as their rep
resentative (the .NLRB conducts
plant elections so that the workers
may choose.
And there are other unfair"
practices for unions, too.
A union, as we'll as an employer,
must bargain in good faith.
A union must not restrain or
coerce" an employer in the selection
Of his representatives for collective
bargaining or settlement of griev-
ances,
A union must not engage in q
secondary boycott ian effort to win
a labor dispute by trying to force
other companies not to do business
with the original company.
1t must not strike In order to
beat out another union for the
privilege Of performing certain work
(that is one form of "jurisdictional
strikeD. 1t must not try to force
an employer to bargain with it If
some other union has been chosen
by the workers and certified" by
the NLRB. 1t must not try to force
any employer or self-semployed
person to join a union or an en-
ployer association,

tract. the union must not charge

A union must not try to cause an
employer to pay for services which
are not performed.

preventing these practices. Charges
may be filed by an employer, a

cision on whether to prosecute such
charges rests solely in the hands Of

Practices Act in order to remove a
ban on all political spending by
unions and corporations. This ban
had been instituted by the Taft
Hartley Act. The new bill would
eliminate all restrictions on unions
and would eliminate a ban on sex
penditures" by corporations, but
would constitute a ban on "contri-
buttons" by corporations in connec-
ton with elections.
The bill says nothing in this act
shall be construed to require an
individual employe to render labor
or service with his consent and
nothing shall make the quitting Of
his labor by an individual employe
an illegal act. The quitting of labor
by employe ''in good faith becaue
of abnormally dangerous conditions
for work" shall not be deemed a
strike"
The bill then says the provisions
of Title II and Title III shall not
apply in any matter which is subject
to the provisions Of the Railroad
Labor Act. (That law applies to
railroad and airline workers.

The great congressional battle
over the Taft-Hartley Act has be-
gun. And it opens in a cloud of
political and emotional smoke that
has almost obscured the details Of
the law.
Many people have forgotten those
details, if they ever knew them.
"Taft-Hartley" has become SYM
boil. 1t is thought Of in one big
lump, which is either inexpressibly
evil or basically sound. 1t was a
campaign issue. It is comedy gag
material. Joan Davis made 5000
people laugh in an inaugural show
here with this gag:
IT feel as insignificant as the
hyphen between Taft and Hartley u
Yet the time has come when the
law will be considered in its sepa-
rate parts. The Senate, for example,
will take up various provisions, one
by one, and fight over each. In the
long run, some of those provisions
probably will survive; some will die.
Details of Act Recalled.
So what are the provisions of the
Taft-Hartley Act? Let's refresh
our memories:
The law begins by saying that its
purpose is to lessen industrial strife
by outlining the "elegitimate rights"
of employees and employers in inter-
state commerce, protecting the
rights of each side. protecting also
the rights of individuals in their
relation to unions, and protecting
the rights of the public.
The rest of the law is divided into
five parts, called titles"
Title I is vastly expanded
version Of the Wagner Act. The
Wagner Act guaranteed the rights
Of workers but not of employers.
Title I goes much further. 1t lists
unfair labor practices" for both
unions and employers. 1t sets up a
flve-man National Labor Relations
Board and an independent gen
eral counsel" to keep both sides
from engaging in those practices.
Employees are given certain basic
rights: The right to organize into
unions, bargain collectively through
representatives Of their own choos-
ing, and engage in "other concerted
activities" and also the right to
refrain from such activities.
Unfair Practices Stated.
It Is unfair" for either an en-
ployer or a union to interfere with
any of those rights.
For example, an employer CAM
"coerce" workers not to join unions
And union can't "coerce" workers
to strike if they want to refrain
from striking.
It is also unfair" for an employ.
er to discriminate against any work

pose of either encouraging or dis
couraging membership in union

2. The prohibition against politi-
cal spending by Labor organiza-
tions. The measure would leave
the prohibition in effect against
banks and corporations"
8. The ban on the closed shop
and restrictions on the union shop.
Furious Debate Stirred.
Mr.. .Truman's drive to get rid of
the Taft-Hartley law already has
stirred furious debate in Congress.
Backers of the present law predict
the move will fail. Foes are claim
ing that repeal is foregone con-
clusion.
The AFL and CIO, studying the
administrations move, withheld off,
cial reaction.
Some labor lawyers appeared to
be surprised and pleased because
the injunction authority was cut
back in the bill.
The AFL Executive Council will
have q chance to pass on the pro-
posals at its meeting in Miami be-
ginning tomorrow. The CIO said its
legal department Is studying the
bill and the organizations attitude
will be set forth in congressional
hearings during the week.
Taft Is Critical.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
leader Of forces battling the attempt
to wreck the law bearing his name,
commented in Ohio:
THE administration has sur
rendered to the labor leaders on
two provisions: Cd The national
emergency strike measure, and co
the lmpartiality of the National
Mediation Service. The first is a
milk and water version of the origi-
nal (Taft-Hartley) clause"
William B. Barton, secretary of
the United States Commences Labor
Committee, said that while his staff
has just begun to study the new
proposal, "our first reading leads us
to conclude that its provisions are
very inadequate"
Wallace F. Bennett, president of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, said in Jacksonville, Fla,
he hoped both houses of Congress
will allow adequate time for COM
plete hearings so that the final
form OF the legislation will be in
the public interest"
The new bills provision for re-
turning the Cancellation Service to
the Labor Department is sure to
cause hot fight in Congress.
Most businessmen are strongly
opposed to such a move, saying they
can have more confidence in the
agency's impartiality If 1t stays
independent.
Ching Opposes Change.
Cyrus S. Ching, director Of the
service, repOrCeQly mas threatened
to resign if the agency is put in the
Labor Department.
The administration bill Is drafted
as lone package" measure. That
is, it provides for repeal of the Taft
Hartley law and restoring the
Wagner Act-with changes-in a
single legislative step.
The AFL and the CIO, on the
other hand, have been pressing for
two-package handling.
Under this plan, the Taft Hartley
law and the Wagner Act would be
repealed in . first bill. A second
measure, to be considered later,
would deal with the Wagner Act
changes the President is seeking.
