| ed to budge.)
The eight were found guilty and
fined So each and costs. Thus was
established the doctrine that a
combination of workmen to raise
their wages was criminal con-
spiracy. AS a result, in Connecti-
cut, Maryland, Massachusetts,, New
York and Pennsylvania, workers
groups were prosecuted on such
charges. -
The Philadelphia Codwainers
case was not just matter of a
small union against a trade asso-
citation of employers. Behind it
was the struggle for control be-
tween the Federalists, led by Alex
ander Hamilton, and the Demo-
Gratis, led by Thomas jefferson.
The Hamiltonians believed in the
"trickle down theory"-the rich get
richer, they expand industry and
manufacture, there are more jobs,
and the worker benefits. So they
were against workers organiza-
tions. The Jeffersonians were for a
strong middle class, and favored
workmen's organizations as a
counterweight to concentration OF
wealth.
In the Cordwainers' case, the
Hamiltonians won. And for the
next 36 years that decision was a
barrier to union organization.
The story of the Philadelphia
cordwainers, and the larger issues
behind it, forms the first chapter
of unions Before the Bar, by
Elias Lieberman (Harper's, So.
The book describes the historic
trials showing the evolution of
labor rights in the United States,
and presents the 25 outstanding
court decisions which helped shape
the legal status of American
unions, and brings the story right
up to the present day.
For those who are familiar with
American labor history, this is a
refresher course. For those who
take their union benefits for grant
ed, this is an excellent case history
to show that the benefits were won
by those who went before-that

WHEN A STRIKE WAS A
CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY

Washington (LPA)-It may pain
the super-patriots who try to make
believe that unionism is one OF
those "alien isms" they spout
about, and therefore, of course, un-
American, but the fact is that the
first recorded labor court case in
America dates back almost $50
years. And the employers beat the
workers by more than $50 years in
the matter of organization.
An employers group in Boston
formed a trade organization in
1648, and got the first such charter
in America. The ostensible purpose
was to set and preserve industry
standards. Actually the group had
a monopoly on production.
! This was group of shoemaker
employers. Their counterpart in
Philadelphia, late in the eighteenth
century, formed the Society of
Master Cordwainers" and soon be-
gan acting collectively in dealing
with their journeymen, and in sett-
ing wage rates for their workers.
So the journeymen organized too,
set their rates, and if the employ
ers turned them down, there was
a turnout, as a strike was then
called.
In 1898 the employers cut wages,
restored them after turnout,
cut wages again the next year, and
when the workers struck, locked
them out. That blew over, but the
process was repeated in 1904, there
was a strike, and another in 1905.
Eight workers were arrested, but
not prosecuted. After the strike
was over, and the men were back
at work, the eight were indicted.
The charge was "a combination
and conspiracy to raise their
wages"
They were accused of conspiring
"unjustly to exact and procure
great sums of money for their work
and labor" (They had been gett-
ing $4.25 for moking fancy tops,
and wanted SIS, then the rate pre-
vailing in New York and Balti-
more. They were willing to com
promise, but the employers refus-

Union Contracts Should Be Set Down
In Plain Talk, Not In Lawyer Language
PAGE SIX

Cyrus Ching, head of the
Federal Mediation and Concil-
iation Service, recently listed
the most common mistakes of
management in collective bar
gaining.
One of these mistakes is
called "the haphazard selection
of lawyers as negotiators."
Ching, with 35 years exper-
ience in labor-management re-
lations, believes that this prac-
tice is bad, particularly since
"every union contract should
be in simple, everyday langu-
age-not the kind of lawyer
language that we associate
with insurance policies and
trust agreements, but the lang
uage all of US use and under
stand"
Very few of US really under
stand how far labor lawyers
have gone toward becoming
elite members of manage
ment's guard. Unfortunately,
trade unions are beginning to
develop their own legal trust.
This development has gone
so far that sometimes employ
ers and unions leave the nego-
tiation of new contracts almost
completely in the hands of
lawyers. And even where lawy-
ers sit in on negotiation there
is a tendency to make them
the final arbiters Of concess-
ions and demands.
Labor leaders are beginn-
ing to see the evils involved in
this practice. The president of
the bakers union recently COM
planned that the bakery oper-
ators are more and more en-
trusting their labor relations
to "phrase-happy lawyers and
negotiators who actually
do not know mixing machine
from a slicer."
Some labor leaders have
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1950-07-13

agreed with their management
that lawyers shall be excluded
from all negotiations. In the
Chrysler strike, for example,
many of the 100 days were
spent framing legal phrases
that would go into the con-
tract.
A great deal of the blame
for the legal snarls that hold
up negotiations and delay
strike settlements can be laid
at the door of the Taft Hartley
law. This statute removed
many items from the confer
ence table and decided them in
the employers favor in, the
halls of Congress.
Many employers look upon
the Taft Hartley law as an in
spired book which tells them
what to do and what not to do
during negotiations. One labor
lawyer told me that when he
sat down with the heads of a
large department store, every
demand of the union was met
by "a quick consultation Of the
Taft-Hartley law. After a
pause, the company's lawyers
would respond for the pres
ident:
eve cannot give that be-
cause it seems to be forbidden
by statute"
The implication was that
they would love to grant the
concession, if only Congress
had not stayed their hand.
Labor relations are compli-
Gated enough by daily tensions,
disagreements, misunderstand-
ings, grievances and injustices
to be further ensnarled in legal
disputes.
Furthermore, lawyers fire.
quently do not know the prac-
tical problems in plant or an
industry and are in no position
to evaluate the legitimacy of
a union demand.
A study Of those companies
that have enjoyed harmonious
union relations over the years
will demonstrate that lawyers
have played a small part in
that harmony. The Crown Zell-
erback Co. and the AFL Paper
Workers have been strikeless
for years and have de-empha-
sized the legal aspects of ne
gotiations.
Labor law is fast becoming
a profitable profession. Fame
and fortune await any good
student who attaches himself
to a corporation or a trade
union. In spite of the record
and the warning Of Ching, it is
likely that lawyers will con-
tinue to dominate collective
bargaining for many years to
come.
