THE LABOR ACT DECISION
In the midst of the greatest controversy which ever
has centered around the Supreme Court that body has
handed down one of its most momentous decisions. It
has upheld in five cases the constitutionality of the Na
tional Labor Relations Act, commonly known as the
Wagner Act, guaranteeing the right of collective bar
gaining and the right of any person to join a labor
union
Often called by modern labor leaders the Magna
Charta of American labor, the Wagner Act now be
comes the Magna Charta in fact. In a few words, the
Supreme Court has put its stamp of approval on labor
unions as we know them. It has upheld the right of
men and women to organize themselves into groups and
through such groups bargain with their employers, thus
obtaining better wages and working conditions for the
whole group rather than each individually seeking a
better lot in life. An Act already endorsed by the ma
jority of the people of the nation through their repre
sentatives in Congress, who wrote the law,it now stands
as a living monument to the nation’s long efforts to es
tablish and maintain what we through the years have
referred to as the American standard of living.
While there is bound to be apprehension in some
sources over the far-reaching effects of the Labor Act,
that feeling should soon be dissipated as we adjust our
selves to a broader version of human rights, which, af
ter all, should be paramount, for if we can not better
our lot as human beings wTe haven’t gone very far on
the road of civilization.
"i “i *r *r
Probably the most immediate result of the recent
decision by our highest tribunal will be the settlement
of labor differences which have been sweeping the land.
The sit-down strikes in virtually all cases have been
caused by refusal to bargain with this group or that.
In the automobile industry, for example, Chrysler,
General Motors and others concerned, refused to recog
nize what the employees held was the prevailing group
of employees. Ford has gone on record to the same
conclusion although there has been no outward trouble
in his plants thus far. Now, under the Court’s decision,
these employers must bargain, and the employees must
carry on their negotiations as provided for under the
law.
It would appear to mean the end of sit-down strikes
where obviously the law has been violated. Now with
the decision of the court before them there should be
no question about jpoth sides reaching agreeable settle
ment, and according to a law, which both sides must
live up to.
Whatever some may believe to be the shortcomings
of the Labor Act, if it brings about adjustment of the
disputes between capital and labor which we have wit
nessed in the past couple of years it will have done more
to bring about and maintain a prosperous nation than
any legislation which has passed Congress in the last
four years.
Already reports are current that this most recent
decision, coupled with the verdict unpholding the min

imum wage law, may have effect on the status of the
President’s proposal to reorganize the court. Some are
of the reported theory that the attack on the Court has
broadened that tribunal’s view, and news dispatches to
day hint of possible voluntary retirements from the
bench in the near future by some of those who have
reached the 75-year mark. If such a course is followed
it probably will add weight to the Chief Executive's
court reorganization bill. It would appear to be an ad
mission of need of just what the President has demand
