Strong Fibreboard rein- THE UNION — | LEAVE THE LAW ALONE (From United Mine Workers Journal) The American Federation of Labor las asked Congress to amend the Na- tional Labor Relgtions Law to suit the National Manufacturers Association and the United States Chamber of Commerce . If the amendments pro- posed by the American Federation of Labor were adopted by Congress, The National Labor Relations Law would be so crippled as to make it virtually useless to organized labor, but it would be entirely satisfactory to the enemies of labor unions. For a long time the American Federation of Labor, The National Manufacturers Association and the United States Chamber of Commerce have been buddies, each seeking to ruin the National Labor fielations Law and divert it from its original purpose. Of course, the whole campaign of those three organizations is a fight against the Congress of In- dustrial Organizations, which has grown so rapidly and made such re- markable progress in preserving the rights of the workers. The Congress of Industrial Organizations has far out- grown the American Federation of La- from Wall street would like to kill the {rom Wail streea would like to kill the Congress of Industrial Organizations, and the American Federation of La- bor is helping them as best it can in its own puny way. The National Labor Relations Law should be left alone. No amendments or changes are needed. Every time con- | gress tinkers with the law it will be |" ened and made less effective. | | | | The American Federation of Labor wants congress to so change the law as to permit the American Federation of Labor to dominate its application. Any- one who knows of the hook-up bet- ween the American Federatin of Labor, the National Manufacturers Associa- { tion and the United States Chamber uf Commerce knows that such changes would play directly into the hands of big business, big employers and Wall street control. The attack on the Labor Relations Law is based on gross misrepresen. tations and false premise. For many montis past, the American Federation of Labor nas carriea on a vicious cam- board, charging that the law was faulty and that the board was unfair, and biased and that it discriminated against the American Federation of Labor in favor of the Congress of In- dustrial Organizations. Nothing could be further from the truth, but the campaign of denunciation continues. At the same time, the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers, the United States Chamber of Commerce and other Wall street interests joined in the attack, supporting the American Fed- paign of propaganda, denouncing the | Wagner Act and the Labor Relations | PRESS-COURIER. PAGE THREE Industrial Organizaetions and against the American Federation of Labor. It wants the law changed so as to com- pel the board to favor the American Federation of Labor. Whether the American Federation of Labor admits it or not, such would be the effect of the proposed amendments to the law. The plain, unvarnished truth is thot the Labor Board has been eminently fair in its decisions, favoring no one above anyone else. Even a casual read- ing of the annual report of the Na- tional Labor Relations Board to con- gress, just issued, proves that state- ment. In the report, which covers the year ending June 30, 1938, the board cets out these figures: The board disposed of 74.3 per cent of American Federation of Labor cases, and 67.1 per cent of Congress of In- dustrial Organizations cases. Settlements preceding formal action were secured in 52.5 per cent of Am- erican Federation of Labor cases, and 52.7 per cent of Congress of Industrial Organizations cases. The board dismissed 13.6 per cent cf the American Federation of Labor cases before formal proceedings, and 11.8 per cent of Congress of Industrial Organizations cases. Five and nine.tenths per cent oi American Federation of Labor cases, and 5 per cent of Congress of Indus- trial Organizations cases were disposed of after issuance of board orders. In complaint cases: settlements be- fore formal action were secured in 1,190 American Federation of Labor cases (52 per cent); in 1395 (52 per cent) of Congress of Industrial Organ- ization cases. Forty-one and five tenths per cent of American Federation of Labor cases, and 43.3 per cent of Con- gress of Industrial Organizations cases | were dismissed or withdrawn. | In representation cases: the beard | settled 603 American Federation of Labor cases (53.5 per cent) and 892 Congress of Industrial Organizations cases (53.9) per cent.) Twenty four and nine tenths per cent of Aemerican Federation of Labor and 28 per cent of Congress of Industrial Organizations | petitions were dismissed and with- | drawn. Three hundred fifty thousand, j nine hundred sixty out of 394,558 eli- gible workers voted in 1,152 elections conducted by the board. The board adopted American Fed- eration of Labor contention as to ap- propriate unit in twenty-one cases; the Caongress of Industrial Organiza- tions contention in sixteen cases. | These statistics show that the board was as fair and impartial as any board | could be, and that it did not show any | favoritism to anyone.

COUNTY TAX RATE WILL REMAIN AT SIX MILLS COMMISSIONERS DECIDE Cambria County’s tax rate will re- raain at six mills for 1939. This rate was fixed last Thursday afternoon at a rieeting of County Commissioners John Thomas Jr., Frank P. Hollern and Lil- lian D. Keller. The action continues the six-mill rate which was set last year, when the millage was reduced from eight mills. The commissioners at their session also set the budget for the current year. The commissioners in the budget set- up estimate conuty receipts for 1939 at $1,705,181,23 compared to $1,563,607.20 actually received last year. The am- ount for this year includes $212,349.71 on hand in cash on January 2, while en January 3. 1938 the county had cash on hand amounting to $72,725.04. The county, however, owes the state ap- proximately $60,000 for maintenance of Cambria County prisoners in correct- ional and penal institutions. Also owing the state is approximately $68,000 for tax on county bonded indebtedness. Both payments of institutional bills and state tax has been withheld by County Controller Henry L. Cannon because of a dispute with former state officials as to interest charges. It is expected this question will be settled with the new administration at Harrisburg. Bond payments of $553,000 are sched- uled to be met by the county this year. Of the total, the commissioners expect to pay $333,000 out of revenue and fo jssue refunding bonds for the remain- ing $200,000. Last year, bond payments of $587,000 were made by the county, of which $380,000 was made out of sevenue and $207,000 through proceeds of refunding bonds. | men’s associations, Appropriation for operation and maintenance charges for 1939 as set up in the budget total $803,347.76, which includes provision for payment of in- stitutional bills due the state and state tax. Actually expended by the county last year for operation and mainten- ance was $639,973,98. CATHOLICS ARE URGED TO JOIN THE CIO UNIT Philadelphia.—“Not only is it every Catholic’s privilege to join the CIO, but it is every Catholic’s duty to join his union.” This counsel was given by Richard L. G. Deverall, editor of the Christian Front and professor of sociology at the Augustinian Seminary of Villanova, Pa., at a meeting sponsored here by local 46 .of the State, County and Mu- nicipal Workers CIO. “The CIO was organized to raise wages, lower hours and improve work- ing conditions,” Deverall said. “For the first time in America it took in all workers, including negroes and the unskilled.” Quoting Pope Leo XIII as saying, “Most appropriate are these working ” Deverall pointed out that the Catholic Church has al- ways emphasized the right and duty of workers to join unions.
