seaux Chappell, Jacksonville, Fla.;

tyo Hampton, Abbeville, S. C.; Don
Marie Barney, Winston-Salem; Dot

Sen. Erwin Says:
WASHINGTON — I am more
than ever convinced that Congress
must deal early in the next session
with the need for legislation to
correct abuses in the labor and
management field.
Hearings Hear Out Need
The Senate Rackets Committee
hearings have clearly demonstrated
the need for corrective legislation.
At the conclusion of the hearings
the other day I remarked that the
Teamsters Union is thrusting a
super law on the United States
Government which must be cor
rected if the honest working man
is to have freedom of action and
democracy in this union.
NLRB
Not only did the Committee look
into union boycotting, but we in
vestigated the workings of the Na
tional Labor Relations Board to
see why there are such lengthy de
lays which in effect deny justice
to both union and management as
the technique of dela1’ seems to be
abused. These delays deny justice
to the extent that this is another
matter demanding Congressional
action.
How Can It Be Done?
How can remedial legislation be
enacted? It won’t be easy. But
I am convinced that the country is
demanding Congressional action
and I intend to do what I can to
bring about legislation to correct
these abuses. As I have said be
fore, a good beginning was made
last session by the Kennedy-lves
bill to get at labor-management
racketeering. The bill languished
and was not enacted into law, it
having been caught in a squeeze
between those who wanted harsh
anti-union laws and those who
wanted no labor legislation at all.
