I' MNATOH ®, 1 SAM ERVIN JSL/»s| Washington There is room for'honest disagreement as to the approach for legislation irt the la bor field. Effective BUI This being so, I have attempted to pursue a course in the mat ter that will produce an effective bill for prompt action 'by Con gress in the area of labor cor ruption, astounding conditions ‘that have been shown by the Mc- Clellan Committee, on which I have served for two years. The bill that I have co-sponsored with Senator Kennedy meets this need. There is also wide agreement be tween the Kennedy-Ervin an i Administration bifls, but the con troversy arises over the inclusion of certain Taft-Hartley revisions' which I am convinced mu:-t be! considered in separate hjlls. The New York Times recently I expressed it this way: ‘‘But, after all, these are mat I ters (picketing, secondary bov-i cotts, eta) that primarily involve ; the power and external re’ations of labor unions, not how they! manage their' own affairs. Doesn’t this mean that amend ments to the Taft-Hartley law should be made through a sepa rate, and carefully considered, over-all measure? They seem like excess baggage which might' well fee temporarily jettisoned now for the sake of reaching the l main and immediate objective: i ( Greater democracy, honesty and efficiency within American labor unions.” Testimony C Last week I testified before the Labor subcommittee consid ering the proposed bills. I relat- 1 ed the need for corrective legis- 1 lation. My position i s that the \ Kennedy-Ervin Bill effectively j prohibits the misuse of union I funds, provides an effective method of control by local union members, prohibits felons from' holding union office and is a good labor reform bill. As I have stat ed before. I favor eliminating all Taft-Hartley law revisions from a labor reform bill and including them in separate hills. Congress ought to act with haste and wis dom in adopting labor reform leg islation. Tne Conditions are a disgrace to our country. Practical Consideration Mr 'Arthur Krock, a distin- 1 guished journalist, recently dis cussed in his column the various views on proposed legis'ation, in clifding the Kennedy-Ervin Bill. He concludes his article with the following: “There is, of course, a iprnctical consideration which suoports the Kennedy-Erv'n approach. This is that any prom-ess toward curbs of the excessive power of the un ions is worth making; that the Kennedv-Ervin measure provides this, will surely be approved, but, may fail if amending. St as the I administration pronoses ' leaves! organized labor with the choice! of ail or none. ‘This consideration anpea’s to many Mpmh»rs of Conores S who cannot be fairly tagged as pawns of the unions. And nsAwraily it I appeals to others: Those for whom it is DOli+ier’lv safe *o vte for the Kennedy-Ervin bill but not for the administration sunnle ments: and those who. we'com- | in® progress >n the f’eid of in- j dustrial relations. sineereW on-! pose the curbs in the administra-1 A Good Reading /for the Whole Family •flews •farts * •Family Features T>w CNttMn SciwvMontter On* Norwoy St.JMtan 15, Mo«». • fend vour n»«pqp« ft* *» tlmo ctMckad. tnetowd **) m» chock or morwy ordor.
