The labor provision of the industrial recovery law—not the present voluntary blanket coge, but the law enacted by reads as follows: “Every code . . . shall contain the following conditions: (1) That em- ployes shall have the right to organize and bargain collectively through repre- sentatives of thefr own choosing, and shall be free from the interference, re- straint, or coercion of employers. . . (2) That no employe and no one seeking employment be required as a con- dition of employment to join any com- pany union or to refrain from joining, organizing, or assisting a labor organi- zation of his own choosing.” It will be observed the law does not bar the “open shop.” It merely says that “employes shall have the right to organize” and that employers shall not in any way interfere.
