LABOR LAWYER SAYS TAFT-!
HARTLEY LAW THREAT TO
U. S. LABOR MOVEMENT
Chicago- — The Taft-Hartley
law has brought a “new look”
to the style of labor-management
relations which threatens to de
stroy the basis of organized la
bor in America. Joseph M. Ja
cobs, labor attorney, charged in
an address to the convention of
’ the AF*L*s Distillery, Rectifying
and Wine Workers ot America.
The union, headed by Joseph
O’Neill, held its convention here
which was attended by 400 del
egates representing over 75,000
members of the union in the
United Stales and Canada.
Attorney Jacobs contended that
high-pressure propaganda techni
ques were being employed to “sell
the American people a wolf in
sheep’s clothing.” He said:
“The American public is be
ing victimized by a conspiracy of
silence and soft words concern
ing the operation of the new law
Industrial interests are attempt
ing to whiter ash the law and to
show that labor has not suffered.
Actually, the truth was revealed
h-v the minority uport of the
Congressional Joint Committee
which charged that the Taft
Hartley law is far more danger
ous to legitimate labor rights
than its proponents would have
” the public believe.”
Specifically, the Chicago labor
attorney pointed out that actual
experience during the past year
has amply vindicated labor's at
tack tgains; the law. He dis
cussed more than 15 injunction
decrees and a series of NLRB
decisions ur.dei which, he pointed
out, labor’s rights have been
seriously curtailed? In criticizing
the law, Jacobs said: “Recent
decisions have revealed that work
ers may be forced to work on
jobs against their will under
court injunctions; workers are
being required to work as strike
breakers. contrary to the inter
ests of their own fellow trade un
ion members; and workers are
being required to work with non
union men who enjoy • the bene
fits of organization without as
suming any of the obligations
f _..k._ft
The speakers also attacked the
sections of the law which provide
that strikers who are replaced
are prevented from voting in
representation elections. “Recent
ly,” he said, “workers who struck
for better wages were replaced
and were even barred from par
ticipating in a representation
election, in violation gf a Labor
Board precedent established 11
years ago.”
Jacobs predicted that opposition
to the Taft-Hartley law would be
the rallying ground for all pro
labor and liberal groups through
out the United States in the
forthcoming election in Novem
ber. “The Taft-Hartley law must
go,” he declared, “if democracy
is to survive in America. The
essence of democracy in Amer
ica consists of the protection of
equal rights for all groups in so
cial system. By dividing worker
against worker, and employer
against unions, and by discrimi
nating against union grdups in
our social and economic life, the
Taft-Hartley law is undermining
the structure of democracy in
America.”
