Supreme Court Studies Challenge
To Labor Union Political Spending

union members are dispensed
legally through such organs as
the AFL-CIO's Political Action
Committee.
The Georgia case was ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court
by Is brotherhoods and other
railway unions. 1t was argued
for the unions yesterday by
Lester P. Schoene and Milton
Kramer, both of Washington.
The brotherhoods have not
challenged the record of their
political activities. They would
be "derelict" in their duty if
they did not engage in such
activity in the best interests
of their members, Mr.. Kramer
declared.
Under the principle laid down
by the Georgia Supreme Court,
he argued, an atheist could re-
fuse to pay taxes on grounds
that the Government was using
money for things he didn't
believe in.

the "a million workers who now
are covered by the law, not the
81 million excluded workers
who would be brought in by the
proposed extension. At least
for the time being, he said,
time-and-a-half pay for over
time beyond 40 hours should
not apply to the 81 million
newly covered workers.
Cites Varying Effects
Mr.. Mitchell cited statistics
indicating that 1.8 million
workers would receive wage in
creases directly as a result Of
a Sl.l0 minimum. "a million
would be affected directly by
a S1.15 minimum and 3.6 mil
lion by a SIPS minimum. He
said about $4,000 of the 81
million newly covered workers
would receive raises if they
were granted a $l-an-hour
minimum.
The Roosevelt bill is an i'm
practical extreme" and would
increase wage costs by more
than 81 billion a year, the Sec
retary said.

His Political Activities
Aid Bill Fails
In House Unit
BY the Associated Press

Efforts to dislodge a $251
million area redevelopment bill
from the House Rules Commit
tee have failed.
The committee, which con-
trolls the flow of legislation to
the House floor, voted 6-6 yes
terday against clearing the
measure. Chairman Smith,
Democrat of Virginia and Rep
resentative Colmer, Democrat
of Mississippi. Joined the four
Republican members in voting
against sending the measure to
the floor. A tie vote defeats a
motion.
Two long time supporters of
the proposals, Representatives
Flood, Democrat of Pennsyl-
vania. and Van Zandt, Republi-
can of Pennsylvania, expressed
belief the committee will re-
consider its action later.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton favors a bill providing $57
million in aid-mostly loans
to chronically depressed areas
to help establish new indus
tries and new jobs.
A bill authorizing $685. mil
lion in aid to depressed areas
was passed 1916 by the Senate
last March.
The House bill was approved
by the House Banking Commit
tee last spring. The Rules Com
mittee action followed three
days of public hearings over a
period of two weeks.
While differing in amounts,
both House and Senate bills
would authorize revolving loans
funds for urban and rural de-
pressed areas, grants in aid for
public works, technical assist
ance and benefits for workers
being retained for new jobs.
President Eisenhower two
years ago pocket-vetoed a bill
authorizing $279.5 million in
aid for depressed areas.

several years.
Mr.. Roosevelt noted that
Secretary Mitchell testified yes
terday before the House Labor
Subcommittee against an i'm
mediate minimum wage in
crease to Sl.25-as provided by
the Roosevelt bill-but did not
discuss the idea Of a gradual
step-up to that level.
Favors Graduated Rise
The Secretary said a 25-cent
boost now could cause unem-
ployment and hurt many en-
ployers. He advocated a mod
crate" rise-to Sl.10 or Sl.l5-
which he said would be bene-
fetal to low-paid workers in
low wage industries (and)
would not cause any great
problems of adjustment OF
hardship to employers OF
workers."
Mr.. Mitchell is on record as
favoring increases in the mini
mum wage as fast as they can
be effected without causing un-
employment and hardship. He
has not indicated whether he
would go along with writing a
schedule of future increases
into the law.

Mitchell said they ware flexible
on the question of extending
coverage to some OF the 90 mil
lion wage and salary workers
who now are excluded. For the
record. Mr.. Roosevelt's bill
would extend coverage to nearly
8 million workers, and Mr.,
Mitchell advocates extension to
81 million.
Mr.. Roosevelt predicted the
final bill will be a compromise
between those two figures.
Retailers Opposed
Retailers are leading the op-
position to minimum wage leg
islation. They would bear the
brunt Of coverage provisions in
all the pending bills.
Mr.. Mitchell's testimony con-
formed to recommendations he
made in a report issued last
February. But he had not pre-
viously specified that 10 or IS
cents an hour is his idea of a
modest" or moderate" boost
in the 81 minimum in effect
since 1856.
He said the $l.10 or S1.15
minimum should apply only to

effort to meet some of the OBJ
jections raised by the admins
tration and by business groups.
Although extremists on the
minimum wage issue have
shown no signs of yielding, the
f1exibility of more moderate op-
posing forces has frightened
prospects for enactment of a
compromise bill this year.
Mr.. Roosevelt told a reporter
he expects the House Labor
Subcommittee to conclude hear
ings in about two weeks, and
predicted the full Labor Com
mittee will send a minimum
wage bill to the House floor
about June /. 1t is understood
that he has discussed sched-
uling with subcommittee Chair

Dim outlines of a compro-

Representative Roose velt,
Democrat of California, offered
to cut back his proposals for
raising the wage floor to SIPS
at once and extending coverage.
Mr.. Roosevelt, sponsor of the
bill backed by organized labor,
made his offer after Labor Sec
retary Mitchell indicated he is
flexible on the Eisenhower ad-

BY ROBERT E. CLARK
Star Stan Writer

One of the most serious legal
challenges ever raised to la
6or's free-spending role in po-
litical campaigns was in the
hands of the Supreme Court
today.
The question of whether it
Is constitutional to require a
worker to join a union which
uses part Of his dues money to
support political views or can
didates he personally opposes
was argued before the court
yesterday.
The case which could re-
strict the role Of organized la
Dor in this years elections and
future campaigns was appealed
from the Georgia Supreme
Court, which held that the
union shop provision of the
Railway Labor Act violates the
constitutional rights of rail-
road workers.
Under the Georgia ruling,
labor would either have to
abandon the union shop
which requires that all en-
ployes join the union-or cease
all dues-flnanced political and
other activity not directly in
volved with collective bargain
ing.
Warren Cites Bar Practice
In a spirited exchange with
an attorney yesterday, Chief
Justice Warren said he could
see little difference between
union politicking and a bar
association which engages in
lobbying or takes a public
stand on controversial issues.
He pointed out that in States
which have so-called integrated
bars attorneys must be men,
. bers of the bar association in
order to practice law.
Il belonged to an integrated
bar for 80 years and I know
there was a great difference
of opinion on things they ad-
vocated," the Chief Justice
said.
E. Smythe Gambrell of At
lanta, arguing the case for six
railroad workers who won in
the Georgia courts, said the
principle was entirely different.
1t is "heinous" for unions to
take money from an employe
and spend it to support a can
didate the worker personally
"deSpises," he said.
While noting that he him.
self is Democrat, the attor-
ney cited the findings of the
Georgia court that most Of the
money spent by the railroad
unions on political activities
went to the Democratic Party
or its candidates.

licans in organized labor who

Plea Held Up
On Nursery

A nursery school permit. ap-
proved and then rescinded last
month, was held up again yes
terday by the Prince Georges
County commissioners.
The county heads took under
advisement the request for a
special exception permit after
a second public hearing in
Hyattsville. The rehearing was
held to accommodate opponents
who were too late to protest at
the April % hearing because
of an error in the advertised
time.
Mrs. Mary ]. Smith of 4453
Alabama avenue Sc. requested
the permit for nearly 10 acres
on the Eastside Church road,
near Collington. The land is
zoned rural-residential R-R) .
Walter Smith, husband of
the applicant and a research
chemist at the United States
Naval Research Laboratory
here. said buildings would
cover only one-tenth of the
site, house about so children,
and be in keeping with the
rural surroundings.
Referring to opposition by
three men present and one
phone call, Herbert w. Reichelt,
commission president, said the
land would remain R-R and be
limited to school use only if
the request were approved.
Eugene Roberts, owner of 600
acres nearby, and Ralph de
Clairmont, a neighbor with $50
acres. protested, saying the
school would pave the way for
further commercial establish
ments to move in.
You own all the land around
there, SO if you don't want it
commercial, don't sell it to
business" said Commissioner
Jesse F. Baggett.
Commissioner M. Bayne

would allow nothing but the
school, said it would have to
be run in accordance with fire
and health regulations.
