NEW WAGE LAW BENEFITS FIFTY

State Recovers covers $517 or Workers During Four Months’ Period.

The new Wage Collection Law, passed by the 1939 Legislature, has resulted in recovering $517.96 for 50 workers during the first four months of its operation, State Labor Division records disclosed today.

Under the law, the power to hold

hearings on claims for unpaid wages was vested in the State Labor Division, relieving workers of the trouble and expense of taking their cases through the courts. Operation of the law began. last June 14. Since that time 137 claims for alleged unpaid wages have been filed. Of that number, 45 claims were found to be invalid and 14 were withdrawn before hearings were set. “The law was designed to help day workers collect wages from unscrupulous employers who try to avoid ‘paying for labor,” ' William Curtin, Deputy State Labor Com-

‘missioner, said.

Also a large per cent of the claims are filed by workers trying to take advantage of employers, he said. “These frauds, of course, are detected easily ‘during hearings and claims are rejected.”

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 22 (U.

Negotiations to relieve banks of this expense will begin immediately, Federal officials said.

Coercion ‘by ‘Employers, Union. Men Claim. (Third of a Series) By THOMAS L. STOKES "Times Special Writer : . ST. PAUL, Minn, Nov. 22.—Minnesota labor. has: officially * heaped abuse ' ‘upon the new state law which requires a waiting period before ‘employees. can: strike or employers can lock them out, and which’ otherwise curbs certain labor activities. : The state A. F. of L. and C. I O. conventions : this year condemned the act sponsored by Governor Harold I. Stassen and asked its repeal. A division was exhibited, however, in the A. F. of L., the dominant labor organization in Minne-

sota. The federation’s leaderships proposed a milder resolution calling

for a report back to next year’s|convention, on the basis of exper-| -

ience with the act. ie Resolution Overridden

‘This was overridden by a revolt led by some of the/ Minneapolis unions, and a resolution calling for outright repeal was adopted after a hot floor fight. When the bill was pending in the House, and after Governor Stassen had intervened to tone down some of the provisions most objectionable to labor, the A. F. of L. called. a special convention here early in April which went on record in favor of seeking amendments in the Senate. The A. F. of L. had its own bill, more along the lines of the ‘Wagner Act, with a board for administration.

Under the law as enacted, when

preliminary negotiations in a labor dispute have proceeded for 10 days without agreement, either party may notify the labor conciliator formally of the existence of a dispute. Thereafter no strike or lockout can occur for 10 days more—andqin the case of industries affecting the public welfare, another 30 days is required.

Claim Coercion Permitted

Labor leaders object that an employer who can use this intervening period to exert his influence among

the workers—although coercion or.

intimidation of employees is prohibited by the law. “There have been cases where eniployers have used coercion on employees in the 10-day period,” said Robert A. Olsen, president of the Minnesota A. F. of L.” We'll have a mass meeting and eyerybody will be unanimous, and then they cool off. Something has happened.” “The waiting period,” said Joe Van Nordstrand, state C. I. O. director, “reveals our program. It gives the employer an opportanity to move in and whoop it up among his bisiness associates, and this operates to coerce those involved to adopt a different program.” Labor objection also was voiced to

provisions of the new act which

provide for setting aside the Minnesota anti-injunction law to allow in-

junction suits against “unfair labor|

practices” and “unlawful acts” as defined in the law, involving he employer or employee. Full hearing of the testimony in open court from both sides is required, however, with cross-examination permitted, before an injunction can be issued. Mr. Van Nordstrand complained of the provision in the law permitting an employer to call an election for determining the bargaining agency.

NEXT-—Governor Stassen is proud of his labor law.

she had stepped from the Grand Jury room where she had told “the whole story” of her at first friendly relations with Coffman, 35, married and father of three children, and then her bitter hatred of him. With the jury room door slamming at her back, she remarked: “I can end that part of my diary now.” Police questioned her. She said that in the diary, which she had kept for years, she had recorded details of each meeting she had had with Coffman since they first met about two years ago when she was a business stenographer and he a rising young lawyer with offices close by. That part of the association which she has public revealed began on a friendly basis with Coffman driving her home occasionally, She said it became ~ unfriendly only when he attempted one night to persuade her to “elope” with him to California, and, when she refused, assaulted her with an ice pick.
