EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, July 27, 1955 Five Labor Lawyers Discuss Problems of Unions for Delegates Nearly 300 persons listened to live labor lawyers discuss problems of organized labor in St. Mary s school gyrn last eve ning. The panel of legal advisers spoke to delegates to the 53rd annual convention of the Oregon State Federation of Labor. Donald R. Richardson, first to speak, condemned the Anti-Pick-t-ting act passed as Oregon House Iiill (jF.i in i:53. The act holds that picketing to influence an employee of any employer to join a labor organization is a violation of state law. Section 17 of the law, prohibiting any person to picket unless certified as the bargaining representative of the employees of the place picketed, was declared void in a recent decision of the state supreme court. Other Section Valid However, section 16, dealing with picketing to influence an employee to join a union, was held valid and constitutional. Richard strongly urged that the ;;ct be repealed in the 1957 session of the legislature, or, as a second choice, amended. Sid Lezak, second speaker, struck out against the so called "right to work" law., termed a "right to wreck," by labor. He said the Taft-Hartley law give. the states the right to restrict labor even more than the fed eral government, by allowing them to pass legislation pro hibiting the union shop. The Taft-Hartley law itself. I.eak pointed out. prohibits only! the closed shop. (Union shop is a situation where an employee may obtain a job without being a union member, but within a specified length of time afterward, must join. A closed shop requires that a person be a union member to get a job.) In 18 States Laws disallowing the union shop have been passed in 18 states, Lezak stated. Such legis lation, he declared, '"effectively prevents us (labor) from grow ing." The lawyer dubbed the "right to wreck" law a "union busting proposition." President Eisenhower's ap pointment of "reactionary" mem bers to the National Labor Relations Board has given the Taft-Hartley labor act a sting never before felt by labor, Paul Bailey, the third panel member, i said. He told the delegates that j simply by "inaction" the board is injuring the cause of labor. ; First, he said, it is contracting i its jurisdiction over employers, giving more of them freedom from its rule. Second, complaints i of unfair labor practices are I being thrown out "on the ground ; floor" before getting a chance j to come before the board, Bailey ; stated. Labor, Bailey declared, has j to "depend on both the legisla tion and the administrators of that legislation." Contract Termination James Landye, fourth to be heard by the attentive audience, deal, with complications in terminating contracts. He said that to terminate a contract, a union must first file notice of termination with the employer 60 days before expiration. Then it must file notice with the state and federal mediation services within 30 days of the employer's notice, Landye stated. He advised unions to send both notices at the same time, avoid intf difficulties caused by late filing of one or the other. A union, Landye explained must serve notice to terminate a contract before it can legally strike. A notice merely to amend is not enough, he said. Picket Line Laws Fifth and final speaker of the evening was H. B. Galton. Gal- ton urged union men to pay CiO.se attention to laws concern ing picket laws. He said the organization must have a lawful objective in strik inc. Secondly, the picket banners should display not the word "unfair." but the specified griev ance over which the group is striking. Galton advised. The labor lawyer warned un ions to include clauses in their contracts which force employers to honor a picket line. Finally, Galton informed the assembly that due to "federal preemption." a state court has no right to stop picketing of an employer involved in inter state commerce. (See Stories on Page 1) FINAL TRIBUTE National leaders and diplomats from every part of world paid final tribute to former Secy, of State Cordcll Hull at funeral services in Washington Cathedral.

And like you, we must divide every dollar of this income into quite a few pieces to keep the bills paid. Our budgeting is naturally on a large scale, but the result is about the same: most of the money Standard takes in goes right back into circulation. And when a sum like $1,229,000,000 (our total in come last year) goes into circulation, its benefits are broad and deep. Practically everyone in the West 38 A- ' from every dollar went for wages, services and goods. Of this $471,500,000 the largest item was for payroll, vacations, sickness pay ments, other employee benefits. Most of the rest went to buy supplies, from paper clips to steel, bought locally when possible. Standard was a cus tomer of thousands of Western firms. shared, directly or indirectly, in Standard's good year. We thank you for your patronage that made it possible. And we'd like you to know that a sizable piece of change from each of our dollars goes for things that improve service to you: research facilities for development of better products at low cost; new plants to make them more available; widespread ex ploration for new petroleum fields to help keep America's oil barrel full. To do these jobs, now and for the future, here's how we changed a Standard dollar: 22 went for crude oil. To supplement our own production, Standard bought millions of barrels from hundreds of independent producers. This cost $268 million an important item to producers' prof its and their employees' paychecks. :' Mt Jig to "i 3 was set aside for depreciation, to help replace facilities as thev wore out. A great deal of this $119 million went to workmen, technicians, and suppliers. f$ paid for other new construction and exploration. It cost $162 million and it included money for refineries, pipe lines and for drilling wells in the search for new oiL 8 for taxes was divided among the U. S. government, states, coun ties and cities. Standard's tax bill came to $101.500.000 ... enough to build plenty of schools, bridges, park equipment, etc. Standard also col lected product and sales taxes for. federal, state and city governments. 2 to working capital and debt. This S20 million increased inventories of products for future sale and included payments on debt. 7 of every dollar, or $87 million, was left to divide among our owners, Standard's 117,035 shareholders, in return for the nse of the money they have invested in the Company. -. j ': If yo wfch a copy of our Annual Report for 1954, write to Standard Oil Company of California, Rm. 2162, 225 Bush St., San Francisco, 20, Calif.
