Hartley Says Bill
Curtails Union Abuses
The Taft-Hartley Law, in banning the closed shop, mass pidcet
ing and the jurisdictional strike, is aimed at evening up the score
for management and labor, contended Congressmen Fred A. Hartley
in the Community Forum lecture last night.
"Even now when the national security is at stake because of the
Boa: strike, John L. Lewis is protected by the law," demanded the
congressman, "for it permits a judicial interpretation of the miners'
contract and allows Lewis to sue
the mine operators if they are
wrong."
Without the law, the President
would have been powerless to
set up a fact-finding board to at
tempt to safeguard the nation's
security with an imminent - in
junction order, or to call an arbi
tion board, Hartley claimed.
