CURBING LABOR

Persons Affected and How Machinery Works Told

In Detail.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (U. P). —Here are the terms of the Smith labor bill passed by the House: - SUBJECT TO THE BILL — All employees or unions representing employees -of a plant which the President finds to be a defense industry. "UNION OFFICIALS—A union is deprived of its legal status under the NLRB if it “knowingly or negligently” allows a Communist, Bundist or person convicted of a felony to hold office. MAINTENANCE OF STATUS QUO—Employees may not strike, nor employers conduct a lockout until 30 days after they have notified the Secretary of Labor in writing. ‘ STRIKE BALLOTS — No strike may be called for any reason in defense industries until a majority of all the employees have voted for it by secret ballot. CLOSED SHOP BAN — Closed shops not in existence prior to enactment of the bill would be bafined

unless the employer voluntarily|

agreed to it. " PICKETING BAN—No person by “use of force or violence or threats thereof” may seek to prevent another person from accepting or continuing in employment with a defense industry. No person may “watch or beset” a defense worker's house for the purpose of inducing him to strike. JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES— Refusal to handle or deal with ar-

ticles produced by a defense indus-|-

try for the purpose of forcing a firm to comply with union demands is made unlawful. The same prohibition applies to similar efforts to make an employer deal with one union instead of another. BAN ON IMPORTING PICKETS AND STRIKEBREAKERS—No one

‘may picket a defense plant except

employees of the plant. Professional strikebreakers may not be imported. . ENFORCEMENT—U. S. district courts are authorized to enjoin any person from violation of these provisions. Employees would lose their rights under the Labor Relations Act and their right to WPA jobs or unemployment compensation. Unions would lose their legal standing under the labor act. MEDIATION — The bill would create a defense mediation board of as many members as the President appointed with management and labor having equal representation. VOLUNTARY ARBITRATION— If a dispute is not settled by collective bargaining the mediation board would endeavor to have the parties to the dispute submit their issues voluntarily to arbitration and abide by the findings.

Rarely has any newspaper columnist received as striking a tribute as that which The New York Herald-Tribune recently ac-

corded to Westbrook Pegler. The Herald-Tribune does not publish Pegler’s column in New York. But it very generously did

. publish a cartoon by J. N. (“Ding”)

Darling applauding Pegler’s crusade against labor racketeers. The cartoon appears above.

You're Wrong, Mr. Pegler—House Did Have Courage fo Pass Anti-Strike Measure]

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 4—“I don’t see how the Senate can fail to act!” So said today a recognized Administration leader in the House who

opposed that body’s nearly 2-to-1 passage yesterday of Rep. Howard

W. Smith’s prescription for ending defense labor strikes.

This opinion was voiced in connection with’ the fact that once before a Smith anti-union bill scored a 2-to-1 victory in the House, only to be pickled by the Senate Education and Labor Committee, But this time the Smith Bill is

apparently propelled by public sentiment, as evidenced in the dramatically sudden and decisive end of a battle that even House leaders could not forecast until a teller vote had told a tale, Once that count of anonymous noses had disclosed where the most votes were, the bandwagon steered by “Judge” Smith and Rep. Carl Vinson (D. Ga.)—with Speaker Sam

Rayburn (D. Tex.) also believed to have a hand at the wheel—really began to roll.

by four unions. . . 8. Culver, national secretary of the Arsenal Workers of America, claimed the strike a success despite assertions by Army officers and management spokesmen that thus

far it had been ineffective.

“Our men aren’t going in there” Mr. Culver said, “and even hose who haven’t joined the union -aren’t going in either.” The Atlas Powder Co., operators of the arsenal, said that 96 per cent of the 1500 transportation and maintenance men reported for work. In Cleveland, a Federal conciliator sought to effect a settlement of a strike which forced Central Greyhound Bus Lines to suspend all schedules into and out of the local terminal. ! Samuel Berrong, international officer of the Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employees (AFL), which called the strike, said about 100 drivers, 80 maintenance employees and 50 terminal workers, including ticket agents and. telephone operators had joined the walkout.

BALL'S ANTI-STRIKE BILL BAGKED BY HILL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (U. P.).— Senator Lister Hill (D. Ala.), Administration whip, today declined to comment on the Smith anti-strike bill which passed the House yesterday, but said he favored the general provisions of a bill by Senator Joseph H. Ball (R. Minn.). The Ball bill provides: 1. That 30 days’ written notices be given when changes are desired in existing agreements covering wages, hours and working conditions. 2. That employers and workers immediately undertake to negotiate the dispute. 3. That after five days either side- may call in the labor department’s conciliation service. 4, That if settlement is not obtained within a reasonable time the dispute may be certified to the mediation board—or to a special

Sensing its strength, the Smith-

Vinson combination proceeded to the parliamentary kill, abandoned the weaker Vinson measure, scuttled the milk-and-water House Labor Committee bill of Rep. Robert Ramspeck (D. Ga.), and ignored three or four other proposals. Among the personages not present but figuring in the proceedings were Labor Leader John L. Lewis and Columnist Westbrook Pegler. There was no doubting that if Mr. Lewis had used better timing in his latest coal strike the House would have acted otherwise. Speaker after speaker referred to his defiance of the President. "If there is one single labor leader who will get the blame for this instance of pendulum swinging, it is Mr. Lewis —who, by the Way, dwells in suburban Alexandria, in the constituency of Congressman Smith, As for Mr. Pegler, his recent allegations that the House did not have the courage to vote against lahor leaders were referred to many times. Rep. Mike Monroney (D. Okla.) told friends he had received from constituents 20 copies of this Pegler article. And after the vote Rep. Eugene E. Cox (D. Ga.) took occaSion to register an official correcon.” : “The vote just taken,” he said, “shows that so far as this House is concerned, Westbrook Pegler was wrong.” v It was a slashing attack, also, that Rep. Martin Dies (D. Tex.) made with his presentation of criminal records of 20 C. I. O. organizers in Air Associates and other defense industries, and it probably swung some votes. During Mr. Dies’ speech, some 200 Congressmen glued their eyes on prison photographs of men employed by the labor movement, while nearly 100 C. I. O. men in the galleries looked over their shoulders. The C. I. O. men listened with attention as Majority Leader MeCormack (Mass.) defended them from the “goon squad” stigma and pictured them as American citizens using the constitutional right of petition. Trying to stop a movement that he apparently saw even then was out of control, the majority leader said passage of the Smith Bill would be “construed by the public as a punitive action.” Within a few minutes the House performed that action. ; ;
