Wage Increase Ruled Illegal;
Ruling By The Supreme Court
WASHINGTON—A wage increase bigger than a labor
union demanded was declared illegal by the Supreme Court
recently because the employer failed to notify the udion of
the raise. The court ruled unanimously that when an em
ployer is negotiating with a union on an increase, he can’t
grant a general increase without consulting the union. To do
so, the court held, is a violation of the national labor re
lations act, which guarantees the right of collective bar
gaining.
The company involved wai
Crompton-Highland Mills, Inc., oi
Griffin, Ga. The CIO Textile
Workers union had been certified
as bargaining agent for worker!
in the plant, and negotiation)
were in progress for a contract.
Talks reached a stalemate De
cember 19, 1945. Twelve days
later Crompton-Highland grantee
a wage increase ranging frore
two to six cents an hour—mow
than the union had asked during
negotiations. It did so without
notifying the union in advance.
Justice Burton, delivering the
court's’ opinion, said the occasion
’was clearly “appropriate for col
lective bargaining.”
He said the circumstances
would be different if a similar
offer had been made by the em
ployer during negotiations and
had been rejected or left unac
cepted by the union.
A wage increase then, he said
“might well carry no disparage
ment of the collective bargaining
proceedings.”
Crompton-Highland argued that
it granted the wage boost because
the union had terminated negotia
tions and because an increase was
necessary to keep a working
force in a highly competitive
field.
But„ the court accepted the
findings of the National Labor
Relations board that while the
talks were at an impasse the un
ion had not broken them off en
tirely.
“We do not* have here,” Burton
^aid, “a case where the bargain
ing had come to a complete term
ination cutting off the outstand
ing invitation of the certified bar
gaining representative (the un
ion) to bargain as to any new
issue on such a matter as rates
of pay.”
The high tribunal’s action re
i versed a ruling by the U. S.
circuit court at New Orleans,
which had refused to issue a de
cree enforcing the NLRB finding
against the company.
The Supreme Court sent the
case back to the circuit court
with instructions to issue a de
cree. It said the lower court,
may however modify the terms
of the NLRB’s order.
In another action today the
court refused to extend the time
in which Gerhart Eisler alien
Communist may appeal his con
viction on passport fraud charges.
He has until June 6 to file an
appeal but the matter is now aca
demic because Eisler has fled the
country.
WILLIAM GREEN DISfjBQWS
HERALD-AMERICAN “8TTOT"
' j
President Green of the Ameri
, can Federation of Labor, in a
telegram to Chicago Typographi
cal Union No. 16, has emphati
cally repudiated the “stunt” by
which the strike-bound Chicago
Herald - American attempted to
make capital of his name.
The Hearst paper, which is the
Chicago outlet for Westbrook
Pegler and other anti-labor har
lots. received “guest column”
written as an accommodation to
Victor Reisel, whose stuff is reg
ularly supplied by the New York
Post syndicate to newspapers in
a number of other cities. Presi
dent Green was among the “guest
columnists” who had consented
to write for Reisel (while the
latter was on vacation) without
being informed that the “fcuest
column” would be sent across a
picket line.
The facts were set forth by
President Green in his wire to
our union, which closed with this
pledge:
“I can assure you that I did
net and will not prepare any
article for publication in Chi-X
cago Herald-American while its
empsyees who are members of
ITU are on strike.
The heavily promoted “guest
column” scheme is the latest in
a series of frantic attempts made
by the Hearst organisation to
counteract the boycott activities
of the striking printers. In ex
ploiting the names of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor and its
president, the Herald-American
has brasenly ignored the clearly
expressed warnings made by
President Green. Last November
he repudiated such Hearst tactics
in a telegram which was printed
in the Federation News, official
paper of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, and distributed to all
AFL unions in the Chicago area.
Still later Green sent an of
ficial communication to every
AFL state and local central body
in America setting forth the Typ
ographical Union’s position in the
strike against the Chicago papers
and asking for their co-operation.
This latest Herald-American
“stunt,” like earlier ones, has
boomeranged. Every labor lead
er who has been contacted by No.
16 after his name was misused
by the union-busting Hearst pa
per has expressed the bitterest
kind of resentment toward the
paper that resorted to this trick
ery.
