Stassen Warns
Against Union
Restriction
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Presiden
tial aspirant Harold E. Stassen,
outlining a plan for “peaceful set
tlement” of industrial disputes,
cautioned Congress today against
‘‘going too far” in restricting
unions.
Statsen laid his program before
the Senate labor committee. He
called for a compulsory “cooling
off” period before strikes and lock
outs and creation of an independ
ent office of federal labor concil
iator.
The one-time Minnesota go\er
nor declared new national labor
legislation is needed because union
leaders have “abused" their power.
But he added that there is “some
danger", lest proposed changes
might “so weaken labor that the
result would be injurious not only
to labor but to our free economy as
a whole."
Part of Stassen’s criticism was
directed at bills introduced by
Senator Ball (R.-Minn.), the man
he named to the Senate in 1940.
The former governor hit cu. spe
cifically at provisions of those
measures which would outlaw in
dustry-wide bargaining, permit
employers to obtain junctions to
stop strikes, and forbid mainten
ance of membership clauses in
contracts. These require that
workers remain members of their
union for the life of the cantract.
Stassen, who announced his can
didacy for the Republican Presi
dential nomination last December,
proposed that the U. S. concilia
tion be separated from the labor 1
department and that the President
appoint the chief of the new office
This would make for “an atmos
phere of neutrality,” Stassen said. |
REINDEER SERVICE INSPECTS
HERDS IN THIS AREA
Mr. Peters and H. McClellan, of
the Kotzebue district of the Rein
deer Service have just returned
a survey trip of the various rein
deer herds in this area. They
found the Golovin government
herd grazing near White Moun
tain and apparently in good con
1 dition. There were no signs of
wolves in the area. They visited
Unalakleet to see the Egavik herd
which was well up in the timber
but reported by the natives as fat
and in fine shape. The St. Mich
aels and Stebbins deer owned by
the government and several pri
vate native owners were on Stew
art Island and were having some
difficulty getting food due to gla
cier conditions.
BRIDGE WINNERS AT
BERING SEA CLUB
I
Another enjoyable bridge party
was held at the Bering Sea Club
■ last evening with Mrs. Walter
Glavinovich taking top honors.
Other prize winners were Mrs. E.
Mahan and Mrs. Xels Swanberg,
Jr.
He also advocated legislation re
quiring these steps before a strike
or lockout could take place:
Filing a notice with the concil
iation office stating (1) the exisf
ence of a dispute, (2) the issues and
! <3» that no agreement had been;
reached after at least 10 days of
negotiation.
The conciliation office then
would call the parties together io
negotiate further for at least 30'
days. If no settlement was reached,
the last offer of management
would be voted on by the workers
themselves to decide whether to
accept or strike.
No strike could take place un-!
less a majority of the workers so
voted by secret ballot.
