LABOR ACT TO 1 BE TESTED ON i PENNSY ROUTE; Railroad’s Bus Lines Named in First Complaint Under New Law. BY LEE G. MILLER Time* Snerlul Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—The j Pennsylvania Railroad, which under its late president. W W. Atterbury came to be regarded by la- j bor as a pillar of resistance *o unionization, was thrust today into the spotlight of the first test case brought under the Wagner Labor Relations Act of 1935. According to the new National Labor Relations Board, the Penn- j sylvania is the sole owner of the i American Contract and Trust Cos., j which in turn owns £0 per cent of j the common stock of the Pennsyl\ania Greyhound Lines. The Pennsylvania Greyhound , Lines and the Greyhound Management Corp. are jointly named in j the flr'-t. complaint issued by the labor board—a complaint which charges: I ivc Charges Are Filed 1 Discharge of nine employes because of union affiliation. 2. Attempts to restrain other employes at the Greyhound garage in Pittsburgh from loining the Amalgamator) Association of Street. Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employes of Amcrira. 3. Threats to discharge employes if they joined the union. 4 Surveillance over union meet- j ings. 5. Financial support to an organi- ! •/ation of workers called the “Employe:; Association, Pennsylvania j Greyhound Lines, Inc.” The charges will be canvassed at j a hearing in Pittsburgh. Get. 22, before the full labor board—J. W. j Madden, John M. Carmodv and Edwin R Smith. Yesterday, before the American i Federation of Labor Convention in I Atlantic City, Chairman Madden i explained and championed the pro- ! cedure that his board will follow under the Wagner act, in this and | other cases to come. May Order ‘Cease and Desist’ ‘ The act says that our board may, j after a careful investigation of the facts, if such investigation leads to a finding that the employer has en- I gaged in an unfair labor practice, order him to ‘cease and desist’ from such practice, and to make restitu- j tion if that is practicable,” Mr. Madden said. "Only if the order is disobeyed; will any punishment be applied. In 1 • biief. no criminal prosecution, no I imprisonment or fine is provided ! for (he mere indulgence in any un- | fair labor practice, and the only punishment which may be meted i out is for contempt of a court order ! to cease and desist or make resti- I tution. ‘ The remedy Is a reasonable and moderate one. which does not go be- i j ond what is necessary to secure obedience. It would seem to fall I safely within the limits of ‘due proc- i css.’ ” In selecting the Greyhound case f or its first test, the labor board was motivated largely by the fact that interstate commerce is obviously in\oivcri in the Greyhound operations. The board took pains to point out that the Pennsylvania Greyhound system has terminals in many cities I and states. Madden Addresses A. F. of L. Mr. Madden told the A. F. of L. that Congress “directed the board 1 to apply the statute wherever the j enterprise wass uch and the labor ; relations involved were such that interstate or foreign commerce * might be burdened or obstructed bv I indulgence in unfair labor prac-j tires." He indicated, however, that the board has no intention of resting with cases involving industries en- j gaged directly in interstate com- ; merce. Citing a Supreme Court do- j cusion upholding an act of Congress j for the regulation of the Chicago! stockyards, he declared: ' If the Congress may protect the flow of a regular interstate stream I of livestock through stockyards, through packing plant to consumer in another state, by regulating the management of the stockyards, whymav it not protect the flow of a regular interstate stream of raw materials, through factory to consumer in another state, by preventing unfair labor practices in the factory which threatens to interrupt that flow?” Critics Assail Act’s Power I! is on this point, probably, that the ultimate Supreme Court test will hinge—if in the meantime the act is sustained, insofar as “due process” is concerned, in the Greyhound case. Critics of the Wagner act deny that mere manufacturing operations are subject, to Federal control as a part of “the stream of commerce.” The Supreme Court decided in the Schechter case that the regulation of labor engaged in handling live poultry within New York City was beyond the Federal powers. Likewise, in the Weirton Steel case, a ’Y'drrnl Judge ruled that the labor involved in the manufacture of steel was a purely intrastate operation and hence immune from Federal regulation.
