THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1949 LABOR LEGISLATION ACTION MAKES TEMPERS SHORT IN WASHINGTON SAYS OREGON'S CONG. ELLSWORTH Brief History of Taft-Hartley Bill Reviewed By Ellsworth To Explain Present Legislative Debates Delaying Repeal Of “The Law” By Harris Ellsworth, M. C. WASHINGTON — As this is written, the house has already devoted a week to the discussion of modification or repeal of the Taft-Hartley law'. It has been a heated discussion. Only one im portant thing seems reasonably clear—what the house does is in no sense final. This legislation w’ill be discussed and acted upon by the senate and, following that, a conference will actually write the final version. / The house debate and the pres sure put on by the labor lobby, and I do mean pressure, has gen erated a gerat deal of heat about Capitol hill, but not so very much light. Countless angry and often reckless statements have been made many of them without even a shade of accuracy. Par ticularly has the history of the bill and the attitude of Repub lican members of the house been misrepresented and distorted. I shall endeavor to give brief history of the legislation to date. W!hen the session opened, we were forced with an overwhelming op position majority in the house. It was obviously impossible to put forth any Republican pro gram for some amendments to the Taft-Hartley law. If was nev er claimed the law' was perfect, and after nearly two years ex perience with it, it was recog nized that some changes should be made. The chairman of the house committee, however, intro duced a bill for the complete re peal of the law which had the backing of the administration. The only other bill hearing the name of a Democrat was intro duced by Rep. Wood. In a gen eral way, this bill represented the views of most Republicans, but required certain broadening amendments. Accordingly. Mr. McConnell, ranking Republican member, requested the commit tee to consider thn Wood bill with certain amendments which he offered. The committee per mitted an explanation of the bill and amendments and then laid it aside whereupon the administra tion bill was immediately report ed out. Then, the Republicans of the house called a meeting of the policy committee (this meeting has been heralded as a secret meeting but there certainly was nothing secretive about it except that Democrats and the public were invited we hold similar policy committee meetings on all important bills). As a member of the policy committee T was pres ent. Wo discussed the Wood hill line by line. The judgment of th^ nolicy committee was that cer tain amendments should be of fered to make it a better bill. Those amendments w’ere discuss ed w’ith other members of the house. When consideration of the ad ministration bill began on thrt door, the Wood bill, incorporat ing many of the Republican-ap proved amendments, was offered as a substitute. Tn addition, a number of improving amendments were offered on the floor. Under i house procedure, the Wood bill was completed and acted upon first. There has been nothing secre tive or indefinite regarding the attitude of Republican members of the house, nor has the general attitude of house Republicans regarding labor legislation under gone any material change since the Taft-Hartley law was en acted. We said at that time we were trying to enact legislation completely fair to both labor and management. It was not claimed to be a per fect law. We said then and later, and particularly during tht* 1948 election campaign, that we fig ured the basic principles of the law were sound and that we’d endeavor to pass such amend ments as experience proved to been necessary. The position and policy of the Republican side of the house has been clear, straight forward and consistent. Every Republican member has had full and free opportunity to make suggesstions for improving the law. and all such suggestions have had conisderation. As Con gressman Chas. Hallock of In diana said in debatí* Friday, “Af ter all, \ve are here as men and w'omen representing constituen cies of upwards of a quarter mil lion people each. Every one of us has a responsibility to those people and to our conscience to try to w’rite good legislation." That is the spirit which has mo tivated our side of the aisle. Mr. and Mrs. Funk First Prize Winners Mr. and Mrs. Qeorge Funk, for the third time in succession, came away from the Oakland Flower Show' with first prize and money, they report upon their return the first of the week. The Funk display, different at this year’s show, was built to de pict a lily farm, on the banks of a creek, any creek that would be representative of Curry coun ty, Oregon. About this display of 490 square feet, Mr. Funk took some moss-covered pickets from a fence on the White place, and plenty of moss to show the scen ery as it actually exists. In telling of their display, Mr. Funk told the Pilot that he had a much better spot this year, and that his display, by its uniqueness attracted more people, he be lieved. “There were 21,000 more people present at the 1949 show than the highest record of any previous attendance.” The Funks have a number of pictures of their display, which they are proudly exhibiting to all interested people. Mrs. Dorothy Lockland, who visited the show in order to gain ideas for the forthcoming Azalea Festival Hower show', told the Pi lot that Bro,,kings was given a boost that money could not buy. “The show was actually out of this w’orld,” seemed to be her best descriptive words.
