The National Labor Relations Board geiTymanded the bargaining units at Chicago to Insure a union victory, and to force union' representation! upon the retail store employees who by remaining at work during the strike had clearly shown their rejection of the union, i 1 ;:''' -;! -' -: v ' . - 1 3. The National Labor Relations Board has 9iven a wholly false excuse for its action. 4. The War "Labor Board and the Attorney General, to distract attention from their own il legal acts, have untruthfully attacked Ward's labor policies. 1 i i - . i. -. 5. The War Labor Board violated the law by granting tz contract to the union when the union had refused toffove that it had any legal right to represent "Ward's employees. 6. The War Labor Board, by ordering the retroactive reinstatement' of maintenance of mem bership, would have made impossible the holding of a fair election among Ward's employees. Obedience to that order would have forced Wards, before the election was held, to discharge the many employees who had exercised their right to resign from the union. 7. The National Labor Relations Board and the War Labor Bciard conspired together5 to bring about the seizure of Ward's properties to enforce an order which they knew' to be illegal caid unfair. I- M if , - , ; '.'')' " 'j I ' ' ' " ' 8. The War Labor Board and the Attorney General have sought to prevent Wards from ob taining a hearing in the courts on the illegality of the Board's orders; while seeking to impose those orders upon Wards by force. ; I ' ' v -. ' . ., ' These facts show that the Post Office, the Department of Justice, the National Labor Rela tions Board, and the War Labor Board, with the approval of the President, have acted to gether to give illegal and unfair assistance to the CIO union at Chicago. 1 Ward's experience ever since the passage of the' Wagner Act has shown that the unfairness and prejudice illustrated by these actions is the common method by which these agencies are using the prestige of the government to force the surrender of the liberties of employers and employees everywhere. " ! r " By their policies of giving unfair and illegal assistance to labor unions, these bureaus have destroyed the established procedure of collective bargaining and have encouraged labor strife Mr. William M. Leiseron, Chairman of the National Mediation Board pointed this out in a recent address, saying: 1 ' ! - "The unions . . .have come to depend on the Government to give them what . , they could not gain by collective bcrrgaining with employers. And now, when the giving must stop because of the burdens of war and the necessity to control inflation,, they turn in resentment against me Government like children against over-indulgent parents . . . T Government agencies are perhaps more responsible for fhe present labor situation than the unions and their lecders. The dependence of workers organv ' I izations on the Government is as much. the result of their policies as of union policies." ' . Iv - i V ,. -' !' -1 -' : j. ! - " j , ' I By seeking to force Wards to obey an illegal order while depriving Wards of a hearing in the courts, these agendes have shown their lack of respect for our Constitution and the funda mental rights which the- Constitution guarantees. The Constitution Is no longer the supreme law of the land if those whose rights are threatened are deprived of an opportunity to obtain the protection of the courts. .. ' From its experiences, Wards draws the conclusion foot these many bureaus have formed a machine for purchasing political support from logor! organizations. ';: i ! ,. - i 5 . i -1 : ? - - S Wards has long believed that, when the public awakens to the degree of coercion used by . the administrative agencies of the government to force employers and employees to accept union restrictions In which they do not believe ahd-wMch without coercion they would avoid, "if will rise in indignation.
