poll after first
treeing to strike in a union-held
vote.
The furor over the strike poll
proposal apparently made Smith
relent from his stated ' opposition
to more committee hearings on
Taft-Hnrtley revision.
Despite vigorous Democratic de
mands for hearings on the Eisen
hower proposals, Smith had held
firm against them, contending all
the pertinent ground had been cov
ered in lengthy hearings last year.
But alter committee Republi
cans met behind closed doors yes
terday, Smith told newsmen: "We
will have to have hearings on the
secret ballot issue." However, he
said he wants to limit them "as
far as possible."
Continuing his onslaught, Mur
ray charged that Smith's bill would
'in certain particulars . . bring
about a result directly opposite to
tnat wnich apparently the Presi
dent said was what he wanted."
Sen. Douglas (D-Ill). another la
bor committee member, said the
strike vote idea has "dangerous
possibilities" and would extend the
deadening hand of government
compulsion ' over labor-management
relations.
Murray said in a statement "an
other example of confusion" ir
Smith's bill involves a presiden
tial recommendation that "casual
employment" Industries, such as
building and construction, be al
lowed to sign contracts with labor
unions, requiring all employes to
join tne union alter seven days,
instead of the usual 30.
"However, when his (Eisenhow
er's) recommendation was incor
porated in the Senate bill," he
said, "we find no reference to the
real crux of the problem which is
whether state laws shall continue
to override the uniform federal
law on the subject of union se
curity." The Taft-Hartley Act now legal
izes contracts which require em
ployes to join a union after 30
days on the Job. But state laws
are given priority over the federal
law in this connection.
Murray claimed that failure of
Smith's bill to take this federal
state relationship into account, in
effect, renders the seven-day union
shop recommendation worthless.
Actually, only a dozen or so
states have laws forbidding the
union shop.
