PICKETING OF STORES |
OF CHAIN GROCERY CO. |
IN VARIOUS SECTIONS |
In an effort to obtain a written cons)
tract with the company, officials of
the United Wholesale and Retail Em- |
ployees of America, CIO affiliate, |
have caused some of the stores of the |
American Stores Co. in this section to
be picketed during the past week. At
Nanty-Glo, Patton and other points
the system has been used. For some |
time past, we understand, the company |
has been operating under a verbal con- |
tract with the union. |
Union recognition, in the way of |
written contracts, was given by the A.
& P. Tea Company at its Curwensville
and Clearfield stores some months ago,
for the first time, and since then we |
are told about six other stores have |
also been covered by written agree- |
ments. The strategy of the union in the |
case of the American Stores, hence, is |
an effort to get them away from the |
verbal agreement and signatures on the |
dotted line. |

C10 STEPS UP ON
SPEED AGAINST
NLRB CRIPPLING
Last Week’s Vote on Friends for
the Board Is Hailed As Big
Victory by Leaders.
Washington..—I'he CIO this week
stepped up the speed of its campaign
to prevent passage of crippling am-
endments to the Wagner Act.
In Congress the National Labor Re-
lations Board won a major victory
when its appropriation bill was passea
by the House of Representatives with-
out a cut in funds for the next fiscal
year.
Lee Pressman, CIO general counsel,
described the House vote as “a first
round in labor’s fight,” and said that
“labor’s vigilance” was responsible 10:
checking “the enemies of collective
bargaining in a back-handed attempn
to cripple the Act.”
A concerted drive to prevent pass-
age of Senate Bill 1,000—introduced
by Senator David Walsh of Massachu-
setts—was started in every CIO local
throughout the United States. Reports
from AFL and Railway unions indica-
ted that many of them, too, would re-
sist the bill, which is sponsored by
President William Green of the Am
erican Federation of Labor.
The Walsh-Green amendments are
aimed at smashing industrial unions
and would open wide the door to
company unionism.
An analysis of the AFL amend-
ments, showing how they would in-
jure all workers and all bonafide un-
lons, was presented in a new pam-
phlet issued by the CIO legal depart.

With Destruction!” is the title of the
booklet, which will receive wide dis-

In Massachusetts, the state's ClO

the last week-end, withdrew its invi-
tation to Senator Walsh to address the
meeting, and invited in his place Sen-
ator Robert Wagner of New York.
