This order seeks to impose upon Wards a closed shop in the form of maintenance of membership together with the check-off of union dues from wages. 2. The court of appeals of the District of Columbia has held that orders of the War Labor Board are merely "advise" which ho one has any legal duty to obey. The court held that anyone who refuses to comply with orders of the War Labor Board is not - defying a command of the government and that since the orders are merely advisory no govern ment official has the right to impose punishment' on those who do not comply. The Supreme Court has refused to alter this decision. g Wards has refused to agree to any form of closed shop, or compulsory union membership. The closed shop, including maintenance of membership, vio lates the American principles of liberty and free dom. Liberty requires that every employee be free to join, refuse to join or resign from a union with out losing his job. Liberty requires that Wards be free to employ workers, and to continue to employ them, on a basis of merit --union members and non-members alike. Q Each employee at Wards is free to join or not to . join a union as he wishes. Wards fully recognizes this privilege and assures all employees that their opportunity with the company will be the same whether they are union members or not. MONTGOMERY WARD AND CO. SEWELL AVERY.
