It has one single broad objec-
tive, that is, tc insure to en-
ployees freedom of choice in
deciding whether or not they
should go out on strike and what
men they shall select for union
office.
The Act creates a system under
which the exercise of the right
to strike is conditioned upon the
use of the facilities of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board and
the taking of secret ballot.
No strike would be legal unless
the labor union proposing to call
it serves a 45-day notice upon
the NLRB, and upon the employ

pires, if the notice is still pend

secret ballot during the next Is
days on the question whether or
not the employees are willing to
accept the employers offer OF

be conducted by mail. During the

Oldest observer here has the
Congress been so in arrears in
its legislative program. So ham
strung has the congress been by
maze of probes, investigations
and hearings, that not only major
legislation has been strewn by
the wayside, but the actual ap-
preparation bills are far from
passage, with the fiscal year end
ing June 80.
So engrossed has the congress
been In these various extra-cur-
rlcllar investigators, outstand-

case, which drew the attendance
OF many senators that regular
committee work could not pro-
ceed and the congress has sought
to even bypass its own rules
and to legislate by short cuts in
these same appropriation bills
through the technique of hastily
added riders" In at least thirty
instances, these riders" have
been added to appropriation and
other basic legislation. A strict
congressional rule is that where
riders mean change in substan-
tive law they are out of order.
Both senate and house appropria-
tlonS committees have overridden
basic laws passed by the whole
congress simply by attaching a
legislative rider to an appropri-
atlonS bill, contrary to all rules,
for the appropriations commit
tees are charged only with pro-
Viding funds for government
agencies to pay their bills.
Riders often slip by. Several
riders now in appropriations
bills would prohibit replacement
of federal employees; a slash by

facilities is to permit such ballots
to be taken out of the influence
of mob psychology. 1t is designed
to allow man and his wife to
discuss the probable effects of a
strike on their welfare. The
American housewife is entitled
to at least an opportunity to ad-
wise with her husband on such
matters.
A strike could be conducted
only if a majority of the en-
ployees, eligible to vote, rejected
the final offer of settlement. Un-
less the NLRB certified that a
majority favor the strike, it
would became a criminal offense
to instigate one, or to encourage
it directly or indirectly by picket
ing or paying strike benefits.
Violation would call for a fine
of not more than $4,000, or for
Imprisonment of not more than
one year, or both.
The. bill also provides that no
officer of a labor organization
could continue to hold office un-
less there has been an oppor-
tunity for a free election by
secret ballot every two years,
under regulations prescribed by
the Secretary of Labor. A union
violating this section would lose
its right to represent employees
under the terms of the National
Labor Relation Act, and couldn't
file any petitions or charges with
the Board.
Here follows part of Congress
man Werdel's remarks made in
introducin ghis Bill:
"It is incumbent upon the
American people and this Con-
gress to protect the rights of the
individual working man. That is
our duty if we are to require of
him, as we must, his obligation to
defend the American Way of
Life. We must insure his right to
bargain collectively in this in
dustrial age. However, we must
insist that he have the oppor-
tunity, his own benefit and for
national security, to control his
labor leaders and his union which
now carry great power 1t is
always a mandate of the people
to improve a working mans con-
dition in our country" - George
| Peck.

and press them to their hearts
again and again and say nothing.
All are endeavoring to say and
act to drive away from their
hearts the awful fear. We see
wives standing in the door with
the babe in her arms, sobbing.
At the turn of the road hand
waves; she answers by holding
high in her loving arms the child.
He is gone. Will it be forever?
We can see them all, all of
past wars as they marched
proudly and bravely under our
Haunting flag, Our Glory" and
in past wars they would march
down the streets of great cities,
through the towers, under the
grand marches of war music,
into the battlefields to do and
die of need to preserve our
liberties and for eternal rights
for our people and country.
We as a nation should be with
them spiritually on the battle
field in all the hospitals of pain,
on all the weary battlefields, in
all the prisons of hatred and
famine; and human speech can
never tell what they endured.

When the Goth edition of the
Hotel Red Book, Americas oldest
travel directory, made its debut
recently, hotel managers in New
York City toured leading hotels in
a 1908 Oldsmobile to roundup old
and rare editions.
Margie Mooney, in charge Of
records for the American Hotel
Association started to stack the
books they collected and wound up
with a column nearly four feet
taller than she.
However, the roundup failed to
yield the priced first edition of
1886. The only known copy in
existence is in the New York Public
Library. As a result, a $50 US.
Savings Bond has been offered by
Thomas D. Green, president and
treasurer Of the publication, to the
first person who turns over to the
Association a copy of the first Red
Book.
The 1852 Red Book shows an
all-time high listing of 1926 hotels
in 1892 U. S. cities, representing
1,400,0 900 rooms. Outside the U. S.
and its possessions there are 5,073
hotel listings in 2,543 Central and
