"It was enacted upon the insist ence of, and for the exclusive bene fit of, the American Federation of Labor, and the one and only purpose behind It Is to clamp the yoke of the closed shop upon millions of frs American citizens." Girdler contended the bill in effect would force workers to relinquish their right of collective'' bargain tng through employe representation plans.
