NAM Urges Changes
In Labor Act to Bar
Industry-Wide Tieups
ly the Atiociated Presj
The National Association of Man
ufacturers said today the Taft
Hartley Act has improved labor re
lations “immeasurably.” But it
added that changes are needed to
prevent industry-wide strikes.
Raymond S. Smethurst, NAM
counsel, said in a statement pre
pared for the Senate-House Labor
Study Committee:
"The recurrence of one coal
strike, and the present threat of an
other, have demonstrated again the
impelling need for effective action
against paralyzing industry-wide
strikes.”
Mr. Smethurst said the NAM be
lieves industry-wide bargaining
should be outlawed by Congress, but
as alternatives he proposed:
1. Continuing to permit industry
wide bargaining voluntarily on a
group basis.
2. Outlawing industry-wide strikes.
3. Subjecting any industry - wide
agreements to the antitrust laws.
If no industry-wide agreement
could be negotiated on a voluntary
basis, Mr. Smethurst said, “the law
should then require negotiations to
be resumed on a plant or company
basis, free from collusion or con
certed action between employers or
local unions.”
The NAM representative also asked
fhat handling of pension and benefit
plans be restored to management.
Mr. Smethurst-, noting labor de
mands for repeal of the Taft
Hartley law, said:
“Fears expressed that employers
would use the law to harass and
weaken labor organizations have not
materialized. * * * In thousands
of plants throughout the country
the process of collective bargaining
has been carried on without serious
obstacles or disruption. Litigation
has not become a substitute for ne
gotiation.”
An American reaerauon oi r_,aoor
official told the committee yester
day that the Taft-Hartley law
should be repealed right away.
"It. has now become abundantly
clear that the act does not contain
any possible benefits for labor." said
Richard J. Gray, president of the
AFL's building and construction
trades department.
Mr. Gray described as "the most
vicious” sections of the law those
provisions dealing w’ith picketing,
making secondary boycotts illegal
and permitting use of injunctions
in some labor disputes.
He said the injunction in labor
cases "is a piece of law enforcement
machinery which not only lends it
self to but invites abuse and in
justice.”
United Announces Fare Cut
A 10 per cent, reduction on round
trip fares on its operations between
California and Honolulu, to become
effective July 1. was announced here
today by United Air Lines. The
one-way fare will remain at $150
while the round-trip fare will be
$270, exclusive of tax, according to
the notice of intention filed with the
Civil Aeronautics Board.

"Remember, dear—
HAPPINESS
doesn't just
happen!"
/
w
•'What this country amounts to depends on what happens to its homes.”...
That’s why the life insurance companies and their agents are bringing you this
series of messages from the nation’s foremost authorities, to help you plan for
happiness in the handling of your family money. (This is Message No. 36.)
It takes sense
as well as sentiment
to make a marriage tick!
BeCAUSE you’re in love, dear, you
just know that you will be happy. I felt
the same way when I married your father.
But our happiness didn’t just happen. It
took work and planning—and more un
selfishness than anything else in my life.
The more you give to your marriage, the
more you’ll get. It’s as simple as that!”
Perhaps the most important step for a mar
ried couple is to set their goals. Now that
you’re pulling together as a team, in what
direction do you want to go? Do you want
to have a nice home ... children ... travel...?
Talk it over. Decide what you want soon—and
what you want in the long run. Then set out
to get these things, through planning and
saving,. . . and loving cooperation. That's
how dreams come true!
Who should he the boss.3—Nobody should!
Certain jobs will naturally fall to the wife;
others to the husband. Where there's doubt,
talk it over, and then decide what's fair.
There should be no nagging about how the
other does his or ber work. Whenever new
problems come up, or if big decisions must
be made —always work them out together.
"Bossing” is bad for any marriage.
"You see, darling, it’s really all up to you!”
Who will handle the money?—Thu's im
portant; thousands of marriages fail on money
problems alone. Usually the cause isn’t too
little money—it’s poor money management.
And that brings us right back to having
definite goals. When you know what you
want... and are saving for it... there s far less
confusion over who should spend what.
Expect the unexpected! Every family should
prepare for the rainy days that come in every
one’s life ... and the sunny days, too. Then,
when the time comes, you’ll be ready to face
any unexpected problem...to take advantage
of any long-hoped-for opportunity! Your
marriage is sure to be different from what
you thought it would be. But whether it will
be better than you expected—that’s up to you!
"That's how dream
come true...”
How to PLAN for Family Happiness
• Happiness in marriage depends a great deal on sound money
planning. You’ll be more likely to have enough money on hand
when you need it, if you’ll follow these few simple rules:
FOE TODAT . . . The first thing, for most families, is to take
care of the larger fixed items such as rent, taxes, insurance, mort
gage and installment payments, etc. So start by adding up all
your fixed items for the year, divide by 52, and set aside that
amount weekly.
Also every family should have a "rainy day” fund equal to at
least four weeks’ income. Set aside a little every week until you
have that much. Then you’ll Jcnow how much you can spend for
food, clothing, heat, light, amusements, and so forth.
FOR TOMORROW ... We live in a changing world. Family
needs and circumstances change . . . living costs . . . taxes. If you
have not had your life insurance program reviewed lately* the
chances are 2 to 1 that it should be brought up to date.
There are so many wavs in which you can use your life|
ance, that you should have the life insurance you now own checked
to see if it is suited to your needs. This is a service that comas
with your life insurance. *■
The person best equipped to help you with this is the well
trained life insurance agent. Get in touch with your agent, or writ*
