'THE FACTS WARDS HAS RECITED SHOW:
1. The Post Office aided the union during the . strike at Wards and sought to excuse its c
Hons to this Committee by misrepresenting the facts, j
2. 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. The public will demand thattfiose appointed to office in these agen
cies act with simple fairness and obey the law or be removed from power.
; '-- . ri -" -k' j '. ',.: 1 -;-," ;; V.. ; "
The facts Wards has Tecited show, finally, that the President, to force Wards to obey
an order known to his advisers to be unfair and Illegal,! ordered Ward's property seized by,
force. " j 1 . , . . . . '
The President's action In ordering ,the plant seized" was .the .usurpation of' a power not ,
granted him by Congress and denied him by the Constitution he was sworn to uphold and: .
defend. - ::,r0 ;; Y' :- :
" The seizure of Ward's plant developed a spontaneous and ' continuing public Indignation
which resulted in this investigation. This indignation Js easily interpreted. A free American , .
