New Court Test of Labor Board Power
American Federation of Labor leaders foresee a Supreme Court test of the Wagner act after the National Labor Relations Board invalidated an AFL closed shop contract. The board ordered a union election at National Electric Products in Ambridge Pennsylvania among 1,600 workers to decide whether AFL electrical workers or CIO led by John L. Lewis holds a majority. The AFL had previously won in district court which required compliance with the contract’s closed shop and check off provisions. Dan W. Tracy of IBEW criticized the ruling as wilful and ill considered and asked Senator Wagner to warn the board of repercussions. Labor attorneys are preparing a federal suit to nullify the board election order. The Electrical Workers Brotherhood cited likelihood of a broader fight over the board’s jurisdiction.
