ob dSC.I
State Jurisdiction, the President
said department and agency
heads were making astudy of the
whole subject. He said he would
have further recommendation
when the study is completed.
Refers to Court Decision.
Gen. Eisenhower referred to a
recent Supreme. Court decision
which held that State courts lack
jurisdiction to take a case coming
within the jurisdiction Of the
Taft-Hartley Act.
Gen. Eisenhower said the
States should have the authority
to deal with a strike emergency
which endangers the health or
safety of their citizens.
1t seemed likely that the Pres
ident's recommendations as a
whole would please neither labor
nor industry although each will
find provisions to its liking.
Union leaders are demanding
either repeal of the Taft Hartley
Act or changes which would go
much further than the PreSi-
dents IA points. Industry gen.
orally would like the law tight
ened on labor.
Other Points in Program.
Other points in the program:
/. Dropping of the provision
for a mandatory injunction in
secondary boycott cases where it
is felt that the boycott would
result in "irreparable" harm to
an employer. This type of in
junction would be left to the
discretion of the general counsel
of the National Labor Relations
Board. In addition. in all cases
where injunctione are obtained,
the Government would set up a
mediation panel to work for
settlement of the dispute.
2. The Taft Act ban on Sec
ondary boycotts would be eased
to permit unions to refuse to
handle so-called "farmed-out"
or struck work. This applies to
employers whose own plants are
closed by legal strike, trans
ferring his work to another shop.
The President also would permit
"a union to take action against
all contractors on conStruc-
ton project even though only
one might be involved in a dis
pute. At least such action would
not be regarded as a boycott as
it now is in the law.
Called "Union BUSTING"
3. In the case of a so-called
economic strike, one over money
matters, where the strikers are
replaced, the employer could
not ask for a bargaining elec-
ton for a year, and new un-
ion could not seek one for four
months. Gen. Eisenhower has
described as union busting" the

formally nominated Chief Justice
Earl Warren to head the Su-
preme Court.
This was one of some ITS ap-
pointments already made during
the congressional recess, to be

Another top nomination today
was that of James P. Mitchell.

Mitchell.
One nomination, however,
promising to provoke controversy
was that of Robert E. Lee to be
member of the Federal Com
munications Commission. Mr..

questioned by some Democrats

patton in, the 1850 election cam
paign of Senator Butler, Repub-
lican, Of Maryland.

ploye. is friend of Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wiscon-
