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the ;;ct be repealed in the 1957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.

You and the West profit
when Standard changes a dollar
Like you and your family, Standard Oil Company
of California has to have money coming in to keep
going. 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

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:
