i Some Unions Will
Try To Ignore
Taft-Hartley Law
• By The Associated Press)
Labor-management c o n t r a ct
proposals in at least two indus
tries were being worked out Sat
urday as Chairman Hartley of the
House labor committee, co-author
of the Taft-Hartley act, called for
a Congressional investigation of
"any and all efforts to by-pass the
law.”
In Detroit, officers of the CIO
united auto workers began pre
paring for a referendum among
107,000 Ford Motor Co. production
workers in which they will choose
one of two proposed contract set
tlements.
Agreement to submit the alter
natives to the workers was reach
ed just before midnight Thursday,
when many provisions of the Taft
Hartley act went into effect, per
mitting both contracts to provide
a union shop. Both contracts also
include a provision to leave settle
ment of the question of suits un
der the new law to a four-man
union-company committee.
One alternative includes an IIV2
cent hourly wage increase and six
paid holidays. The other combines
a seven cent increase with a pen
sion plan. Union officials estim
ated balloting could be completed
by Sept: 15.
In Cleveland, the AFL-interna
tional typographical union began
working out details of the no-con
tract policy adopted by its 89th
convention.
The convention agreed that the
union would make no more writ
ten contracts with employers un
der the Taft-Hartley labor act. In
lieu of written contracts, the print
ers said, ITU locals will post “con
ditions of employment” under
which they will work.
In Washington, Hartley iR.-N.I
J.) called AFL and CIO proposals]
to ignore the act “brazen effront-!
ery.”
“I am going to ask the joint <la-i
bor> committee to investigate any !
and all efforts to by-pass the law,”:
Hartley said. “Whether by unions l
working alone or in conspiracy i
with employers. That applies both
to violations of spirit and the let
ter of the law.”
