In the current deadlock between Juneau long- shoremen and steamshlp operators, the longshoremen holding which would absolve the union from anv liability in out for insertion of a contract clause are the event of any strike or other form of work stop- | page arising during the life of the new agreement The Taft-Hartley Act provides that unions will be liable to employer damage suits for violation of con- tract, jurisdiction strikes or If the unions can sidestep this new labor con- trol, then the new law is certainly worth nothing insofar as it attempts to protect the employer and the public from senseless strikes and to hold unions legally responsible for fulfillment of contracts The great fault of our previous labor legislation, | which the new act purported to remedy, was an unbalance of power and privilges in favor of iabor. Previously, the National Labor Relations Act provided that the employer must comply with the provisions secondary boycotts. of labor contracts, but said nothing about the practice | of unions in living up to a contract only when it suited them. If the protection of the Taft-Hartley Act s w0 be only another concession which management must | bargain away at the conference table, it will be value- | less in any dealings with a strong union and no hel at all towards solving Alaska’s serious shipping labor strife problems. If a labor upon signing a contract with management, refuses to give a guarantee that contract will be followed, then there seems ta be little reason for having such contracts because they | are worthless union, The Juneau longshoremen, now on strike, refuse | to sign a contract with shinping operators unless they | agree that the union will not be responsible for living up to the contract. This new demand came up from San Francisco ILU headquarters at the last minute, and as usual, an Alaska union is the guinea pig for testing new labor union trickery, and the people of Alaska are the goats. fhe Washinglon '] agement—without published | at 141 | <1 the paper it is written on. | the ‘ FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1947 Those Flying Saucers (New York Times) ‘The annual sea serpent has been taking a much- needed rest along our coasts this summer. But while Old Reliable has been lying low, those sky-skimming saucers have been flying high. Their natural habitat appears to be the Pacific Northwest, but they have now been “observed” from California to Nova Scotia. For weeks the incredible disks have been zooming across the horizon at three times the rate of sound. That is fast going on anybody's speedometer. And at last a flock of them has been photographed. ' A Seattle Coast Guardsman caught a bevy flying over his front porch and grabbed the camera—but quick! All who enjoy a little hot-weather marveling will be pleased to note that he caught something on his film, too—bright little specks in perfect formation. The only trouble with the photograph is that it was taken 5:30 P. M. on July Fourth. Bright little specks are [ apt to appear in the sky almost any time on the Glorious Fourth | We have no disvosition, however, to laugh this phenomenon off. A lot of peovle have seen the disks, «nd one and all dismiss the thought that they were sun-spots—not the whirling spots on the sun itself | but the after-images of light on the human eye. The flying saucers could be real. They may be pieplates i{or that “pie in the sky by-and-by"” once immortalized lin song by the IWW. They may be visitants from another planet launched from spaceships anchored ibove the stratosphere. Maybe they are atoms escap- ing from an overwrought bomb. They could even be something as prosaic as an Army experiment in anti- radar devices. During the war we managed to gum up the German radar with silvery streamers dropped from our planes. The flying saucers are silvery, too. Who knows? No Republican Congressman has yet come forward to claim that high-riding Government officials have been scattering quarters and half-dollars around, not in a sincere effort to reduce the overhead but just to see if anybody noticed. Attack On Mr. Bricker AWx\shlmz(on Post) There are a number of fantastic aspects to the {attack on Senator Bricker. It was no shoot-and-run | affair. as most assaults of this character are. To be sure, the Senator escaped his assailant by catching the one-rail subway r that shuttles between the Senate Office Building and the Capitol But William L. KRaiser, who is said to have confessed to firing twice at Mr. Bricker, neither ran away nor attempted to follow his intended victim. The operator of the subway car says that when he returned from his run to the Capitol he found Kaiser leaning against the wall, with the pistol in his hand Apparently the shows had disturbed no member |of the Capitol Police force. Instead of calling the police, the operator of the subway car told Kaiser to | “take the gun and get out of here.” To say the least, | the incident suggests that members of Congress have | inadequate protection from gunmen or cranks who mm loiter in the Capitol and its subsidiary buildings intent upon viclence. And that suggestion is heavily underscored when we note that the alleged assailant himself was a member of the Capitol Police force until last April. The unvarnished fact is that the ! Capitol does not have a police force worthy of the name but only a miscellaneous assortment of patron- age hunters assigned to police work. Nearly every man on the Capitol Police force owes | his position to patronage. fected a thorough housecleaning since they came into | power last January, as the Demaocrats did in 1933. The new force has been built up, as was its predecessor, i | i | | | 1 Ip | { with a minimum of regard for the applicants’ qualifica- i tions and full emphasis upon taking care of So-and-So. Frequently these jobs go to aged and incapacitated men in defiance of the rules. Indeed, the saying |around the Capitol is that the only test made before adding to the force an applicant with a patronage 0. k. is to determine whether he can still move and .whether his body is still warm. If so, he promptly | becomes a Capitol pcliceman. The attack upon Senator Bricker by a disgruntled former policeman who had served on the force by virtue of former Senator Huffman’s patronage should make clear to our legislators the dangers to which ithey are exposing themselves. The Capitol needs a police system of high competent and responsibility. |Such a force can never be built on patronage. Must {some Senator be actually shot down and not just harried by powder and lead before the incompetence iand wastefulness of the present system will be ac- | knowledged? i that the Taft-Hartley Bill did not public hearings.
