That is the consensus of govern ment, industry and labor union of-j fieials affected by provisions of the law that was passed June 23, 1947. j over President Truman's veto. They I based their prediction on the fact j that thousands of agreements, in cluding most of the major labor contracts, will expire or will be open for revision between now andj next Aug 31. The application of the law to those agreements and to other matters is explained in the follow ing questions and answers: What must the parties do under the law regarding the agreements? Give each other 60 days' notice of intention to renew, modify or let them expire. If no agreement is reached in 30 days, then they file notice of unsettled disputes uith the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. Is there a penalty for striking without shine such notice? Yes if employes strike before the end of the 60-day period, they lose their rights to vote in any bar gaining election and to claim un fair labor practices, until and un less they are reinstated by their employers.

What unions can use the board for elections and to bring unfair labor charges? Only those local and interna tional unions which have filed an nual financial reports with the secretary of labor and whose of ficers have filed non-communist affidavits under the Labor Board. As of January 31, seventy-nine of 105 AFL Unions, 23 of 41 CIO Unions and 41 independents had met those conditions. When can elections be request ed? Unions and employers can ask a bargaining election at any time, but only once a year in the same plant. Heretofore, the privilege of seeking elections was" denied em ployers Unions also can request a union shop election if 30 per cent of the employes approve. Thirty per cent of the employes may ob tain an election to decertify a union or withdraw union shop authorization. But when the elec tion actually is held, it takes a majority to decide. Can unions be sued? Yes in federal district courts for breach of contract, unlawful boy. cotts and jurisdictional strikes. About 30 suits have so far been filed. hat union security can be granted in place of the closed shop? the closed shop is forbidden.

Yes, for the first time this law makes illegal any strike for union recognition, for jurisdiction over work, or for the closed shop. It also outlaws the secondary boycott. How can the government halt these strikes? The National Labor Relations Board and its general counsel, Robert N. Denham, are authorized to seek court injunctions. Failure to obey the injunctions makes the unions and their officers liable to fines or jail sentences. What is the National Labor Re lations Board? This is an independent five-man agency established.
