How The TIL. Law Works

Though the press is still printing yarns to the effect
that Labor has been hurt by the TaftHarey Act lead
ers of Unions know better Before the law enacted the
firm plant could organize in their proper
Union and start negotiating for agreement If the en-
poyer refused recognize the Unon negotiate the
free to act The story much different today
Now when workers in business firm organize the
employer demand election Then he delay and
stall for weeks meanwhile putting the heat the members
them of the Union He also fire many as
he peases and Union has standing BY the time the
election rolls around perhaps he threaten and browbeat
of his employees that the election will go against
the Union
Yes know, the Union file Unfair Labor Practice
charges with the NLRB but what happens then? hear
ing is held and maybe the employees refuses to any at
enton it, Then the to the big NLRB in Wash
ngton D. c., where it is kicked around for or two,
while the members grow dsgused the boss wins and wages
are kept down. the big NLRB board finds the employer
guilty. all it do is order him to and dess and post
a harmless notice on the bulletin board.
Taken altogether the Taft-Hartley Act is vicious
piece of legislation passed by unscrpuous con-
gressmen 1t has got to be repealed But repeal only

passage and too much lobby exeted for it to
be matter of principle only Somewhere down the line
the gas interests expected to strike pay dirt That
where probably hike after the congressional cleo
tons that the wrong votes the Kerr Bill could not
hurt the congressmens getting back into office.
The newspapers saying that labor dictated to
the President and that he followed its wishes for political
The fact is Mr. Truman followed the wishes of
majority of Americans (ncludng countless mayors many
governors and thousands of pubcsprted people in
connected with abo who didn't want to be blked by the

If the gas companies planned no rate then they're
not sou-and the public is safe from unwaanted
gouging.
We say thanks Mr. President We predicted you would
not forget the peope-and you didn't.
