the railway labor act is valid
anywhere, regardless of state
right to work laws. Airlines also
are subject to the act.
Must Become Member
Union shop agreements re
quire a worker to become a un
ion member within 60 days after
a collective bargaining contract
is signed.
Industry generally is govern
ed by the Taft-Hartley labor law,
which permits the union shop
only if state law does not forbid
it. Eighteen states have raised
such bars in the form of right
to work laws.
Labor groups have been urg
ing repeal of these statutes. At
the same time, they are urging
Congress to revamp Taft-Hartley
in the pattern of the railway
labor act.
Monday's case was started by
some Union Pacific Railroad
workers who objected to joining
the Brotherhood of Railway
clerks. The Nebraska Supreme
Court ruled in their favor, and
against the railroad and 14 un
ions, on grounds that the federal
law impaired the workers' "free
dom of association."
Matters for Future Suits'
But Supreme Court Justice
William O. Douglas said "the
requirement for financial sup
port of the collective bargaining
agency by all who receive the
benefits of its work in within the
power of Congress under the
commerce clause ..." He said
freedom of expression argu
ments are mattprs for a future
lawsuit.
George Harrison, president of
the Clerk's Union, called the de
cision a 'setback for anti-union
forces and stooges." He said un
ions will continue to work for a
change in Taft-Hartley and re
peal of state right to work laws
Newport Garage
Damaged by Fire
Newport !U.R) Fire yester
day afternoon raced through the
body and paint shop of a garage
here, causing damage estimated
at $40,000. In addition to the
building damage four cars were
destroyed.
Officials said that the fire
started when sparks ignited the
floor where a steel barrel was
dropped.
Newport firemen battled the
blaze for nearly two hours, and
managed to prevent the flames
from spreading to otAer parts of
the building.
Railroad Workers
To Continue Fight
Against Union Shop
Omaha, Neb. (U.R) Five
Union Pacific Railroad workers
insisted today they don't want a
union "crammed down our
throats" despite the Supreme
Court's ruling against their anti
union shop plea.
The union shop principle is
wrong, they said, and they will
fignt it again if they have to.
The railroad men confessed
they have not yet decided on
their next step, although one
said definitely he will not join
the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks.
All said they are "disappoint
ed" at the U. S. Supreme Court's
ruling Monday that state laws
forbidding union shop agree
ments do not apply to contracts
under the federal Railway Labor
Act. '
Groundwork for Ruling
The disgruntled employees are
Horace Cameron, Harold Grau,
William Cornell, Robert Hanson
and Leonard Koch.
It was their request for an in
junction against the railway
act's union shop provision which
laid the groundwork for the Su
preme Court ruling. The court,
in effect, said that Nebraska's
"right to work" law does not
apply to them. Presumably, they
must soon join the railway
clerks' union or give up their
jobs.
The five men said they have
nothing against unions, but "will
not stand for union membership
being crammed down our
throats."
Hanson said he won't join the
union, no matter what happens.
He has already taken a leave to
establish a manufacturing business.

Battleship Oregon
To Be Sold as Scrap
Kwasaki, Japan (U.R) The
60-year-old hulk of the once
proud battleship Oregon, which
served the United States in three
wars, goes under Japanese-cutting
torches here next month to
be sold by the pound as scrap.
The former U.S. flagship, de
moted to ammunition barge at
the outset of World War II, was
purchased by a Japanese iron
and steel firm early this year
and towed here from Guam by
a British tug.
Two American firms figured
in the transaction the Massey
Supply company, of Guam,
which bought what was left of
the Oregon from the Navy in
March, and Jamerich, Inc., of
Tokyo, which handled the . resale.

charges she caused him "grievous

Karl Monday filed a divorce
suit less than a week after Miss
McDonald accused him of strik
ing her in the abdomen. The
district attorney and the city at
torney, however, refused to press
her charges against Karl be
cause of lack of evidence.
Miss McDonald, expecting a
child next fall, was ordered to
appear May 25 at a hearing over
the custody of two adopted chil
dren. The hearing was requested
by Karl after he filed the divorce
complaint in a nearby Santa
Monica court. .
