Anti-Picketing Decision
Causes No Surprise
Gov. Paul Patterson and
the Legistlature's leading con
ttitutional lawyers aren't a bit
surprised that Circuit Judge Orval
J. Millard of Grants Pass ruled a
week ago that Section 17 of the
1953 anti-picketing law is unconsti
tutional. Gov. Patterson, Sen. Paul Gddes,
Roseburg, chairman of the Senate
Law Committee and the Legisla
ture's leading constitutional law
yer, and some other legislative
lawyers warned that Section 17
violates the constitutional guaran
tee of free speech.
But the Legislature didn't listen.
Of course. Judge Millard pror
ably won't have the last word, as
the State Supreme Court likely will
hear the case on appeal. But Judge
Millard's decision was based on
opinions of both the U. S. and
State Supreme Courts.
Judge Millard kicked out Section
17 because "broad and sweeping
prohibitions against peaceful pick
eting cannot be sustained," which
is what the higher courts have
been saying all along.
The 1953 anti-picketing bill was
ponsored by groups o( small em
ployers. It was written by the Sen
ate Labor and Industries Commit
tee. The heart of the bill was Section
16, which aays labor unions can't
picket in order to force workers
to join a union. Judge ' Millard
didn't throw out Section 16.
After the Senate committee ap
proved the bill, it was mimeo
graphed, as it was too late in the
session to have it printed.
This mimeographed version,
however, contained Section 17,
which never was approved by the
committee at any meeting.
Section 17 says it's illegal for a
union to picket unless the union
has been certified or is recognized
ar the bargaining agent of a sub
stantial number of the workers.
Both houses passed the bill in
the closing hours of the session,
when all the legislators were in a
hurry to get home.
Section 17 apparently was insert
ed in the bill after the commit
tee's final meeting. The majority
of the committee put it there, and
the minority opponents were angry,
because they didn't know Section
17 was in it until the bill reached
the Senate floor.
Gov. Patterson didn't like any
part of the bill. He proposed
merely that there be a 15-day
waiting period before strikes
could start When he announced
his opposition, the employer lob
byists and some of the legislators
were angry.
The governor, Geddes and some
of the other lawyers reminded that
In 1940, the Oregon Supreme Court
threw out another anti-picketing
law.
That law, voted by the people In
1938, said no union could picket
unless there is a bona fide labor
dispute between an employer and
a majority of his employes.
By PAWL W. HARVEY JR.
Aiiocltted Press Correspondent
In that 1940 case, the high court
said such a broad ban on picketing
violated free speech, which is about
what Judge Millard said last week.
When aov. Patterson signed the
1953 biU, he said he didn't like it.
But he explained that he signed it
because he wanted a court test,
so that the 1955 Legislature would
know for sure just what picketing
can be restricted.
Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton
must have been surprised by
Judge Millard's opinion. Before the
governor signed the bill, Thornton
ruled that the bill was constitu
tional. The Legislature Is being criti
cized for putting Section 17 into
the law. Most of the criticism is
that the Legislature shouldn't con
sider such an important bill in the
final log jam that always develops
in the last hours of a session.
The bill was lammed throuih
both houses in the final hours.
even though the subject had been
before the Legislature for almost
all of its 100-day session.
Charles A. Sprague, Salem pub
lisher and former governor, . also
has a caustic comment. He says
that the attorneys for the employ
era might not be as capable as
the labor lawyers.
The employer lawyers, Sprague
says, should have known Section
17 is unconstitutional.

The statement said he meant no

said he referred to "a number of

committed themselves to the strug

against a backdrop of reports that

battle for the free world, is seek

Americans who spurned their
homeland for communism attend
ed a Chinese New Year's party
last night at Kaesong.
Communist correspondent Wil
fred Burchett said a number of
Korean and Chinese girls attended
the party, and there was plenty of
Chinese wine.
'I think they will be leaving
soon' for Red China, Burchett
said.
Fifteen anti-Communist Koreans
were turned back to the Allies to
day by the Indian command. They
presumably wiil be handed to
South Korea. They had wanted to
go to America but the Indian com
mand ruled out their request be
cause the United States was a bel
ligerent in the Korean War.
There still are 12 Chinese and
74 North Koreans in Indian cus

Communists or the Allies. There
also are two pro-Communist South
Koreans .who want to go to neutral
