The Honorable Howard W. Smith introduces a bill to exclude supervisory personnel from the term employee under the National Labor Relations Act. John L. Lewis has directed coal company managers to enroll as union members, risking universal compulsory dues. Smith argues management bargaining power would collapse if executives are bound by the act. He warns the move could extend beyond coal and harm free collective bargaining.

It urges dispelling the fallacy before enacting new tax laws.
