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 |

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. But there is the
| rub. The American Federation of
| Labor is sore because the board re-
| fused to dispose of every case in favor

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.

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.
