Denying Benefits to
Non-Unionists
WASHINGTON (fu-The Supreme
Court ruled Monday thai unions
violate Ihe Taft-Hartley labor law
when they deny work to members
as a means of union discipline.
And in the same 7-2 vote, the
court held that a company violates
the law by granting benefits to
union employes while denying
them to non-union workers.
The benefits were a retroactive
wage increase and vacation pay
ments, made after a new working
agreement was signed in 1048 in
the Gaynor News Co. of New York
and the Newspaper and Mail De
liverers' Union.
' Justice Rqpd delivered the ma
jority decision in the consolidated
cases. Justices Black wrote a dis
senting opinion in which he was
joined by Justice Douglas.
The union discipline ruling was
given in two appeals involving
AFL unions. '
2 Cases Involved
In one case, Williard Christian
Fowler, of Miami, charged the
Radio Officers' Union caused the
Bull Steamship Co. to refuse him
a job because he did not get a
preliminary union "clearance."
In the second case, James Frank
Boston, a truck driver, charged
the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, local No. 41, caused
Mr Byers Transportation Co., of
Kansas City, to deprive him of
work assignments when he got be
hind in payment of union dues.

For Criticisms
Say Texas Pays No
More Attention to Ore
gonian Than Senate
WASHINGTON Wi Texas Sens.
Lyndon Johnson and Price Daniel
said Monday Texans don't need any
advice from Sen. Wayne Morse of
Oregon on the election of their
officials.
They so remarked in separate
statements commenting on some of
the things Morse has been saying
about the two Democratic senators
in recent speeches in Texas.
Morse had called Johnson a re
actionary who "represents him
self." He said Daniel "represents
the oil interests."
Johnson issued this terse state
ment: "Morse's opposition to measures
for the benefit of Texas is well
known.
Need No -Controls Advice
"I don't think Texans need an
outsider to come in to tell them
how to vote and I don't think they
will pay any more attention to
them than the senate does."

power amendment struck a new
snag Monday when Sen. George

Republican leaders had talked
over a proposed compromise with
President Eisenhower and report
ed ho was inclined to endorse it if
one "major legal and constitution

we have ever been before." '

posed compromise without a clause
inserted by George which reads:
