L. R.B.JOB I Board Lacks Power, How ever, to Fix Organization. Majority Rules. (EDITOR'S NOTE—Hereivith is the last of three articles on ques tions concerning operation of the Wagner labor relations law. The replies were assembled by the Associated Press from Washington officials.) Bj the Associated Press. Can an employer discharge a union man for Inefficiency? The law permits a discharge for any reason other than union activity or agitation for collective bargaining with employers. Suppose evidence on efficiency ia contradictory or scant? The board said: "In considering the frequent assertions by employers that discharges were for inefficiency the board has given weight to such factors as length of total employment, experience in the particular position from which the employe was dis charged, efficiency ratings, testimony of foremen or other employes and the treatment given to other employes of equal or less efficiency. In so do ing it has not been attempting itself to estimate the employe's efficiency.” Excessive Zeal in Union. Does the ruling preclude discharge if, in excess of zeal, the employe Air Headliners Afternoon Programs. 3:00 p.m.—WJSV. Washington Cleveland Base Ball Game. 4:45 p.m.—WMAL, Evening Star Flashes.

Witnesses are called to develop the faots tor both sides In public hear ings. What safeguard. If any, has an em ployer against ths incapable employe who, anticipating discharge, runs to a union In order to make It appear that that gesture was the real reason for his discharge? The board relies on facts brought out in hearings on which to base its decisions. What must an employe group do, other than show a majority, to qualify for collective bargaining? Does the board prescribe any kind of organiza tion; floes It assume any responsi bility whatever? Hue freedom of choice can exist only If no outside Influence, including that of employer and Government, ia brought to bear on the workers. A show of a majority qualifies the representatives under the act to deal with the employer. The board pre scribes no organization and assumes no responsibility. No Relief for Non-members. What relief does the board offer the employe who does not wish to belong to the labor group designated for official bargaining, if any? None. What can the board do if collec tive bargaining fails? Protection of collective bargaining is the board’s sole assignment. What ran it do if. after such bar gaining one party fails to obferve the contract entered into? The board has no power to inter pret or uphold contracts. Can an employe belong to a so called company union? Yes, provided that the organiza tion is not dominated by the em ployer. What constitutes domination? Contribution, financial or other wise, to support of the union. It may be giving special favors to some employes to make them acquiesce to the employer's wishes. 1s an employe permitted to confer with the employer during working hours regarding union affairs without loss of pay? Yes, if the employer wishes? Reich Offers Loan Issue.

Place, Peter Ballantine’s brewery in Newark . . . The founder and brewmaster himself had just com pleted his threefold test of a keg of ripened brew. He smacked his lips and pronounced it “per-r-r-fect!” Being a Scot, he trusted his taste for ale and beer beyond any man’s. “It ha’ the PUR-R-R-ITY, the BODY, the FLAVOR-R-R,” was his verdict. On the scoured oak of the table were three moisture rings left by his glass as he made the tests. “Thr-r-ree tests—thr-r-ree rings— the sign of a good brew,” he mused. “Lads, I ha’ my trademark! Ye’ll put the thr-r-ree rings of quality on every keg of Ballantine’s.” IJ d
