COLLECTOR
Mr. Woll's plea waa contained tn
the last of a eerie* of « articles
written by the prominent AFL loader
for the Workers Education Bureau
of America on the general topic.
"Labor and the Law.” pu,
While every state now has a ^,o(
workmen's compensation taw, there
are wide discrepancies in the extent
of coverage and amount of benefits
provided. Discussing needed im-
provements. Mr. Woll said:
“In the first place, there are more
states in which compensation insur-
ance laws ara still elseUve rather
than compulsory. A compulsory taw
is one under which all employers cov-
ered are required to accept the act
and obtain necessary Insurance. Un-
der an elective act the employer baa
the option of accepting or rejecting
It. Although in rejecting R an em-
ployer loses the protection of com-
mon law defences in suits brought by
Injured workers it la obvious that un-
less such an employer is financially
responsible there Is no certainty that
workers will actually be paid benefita.
It is clear therefore that changing
elective to compulsory laws would
extend coverage and make payment
of benefits more certain.
"Further, the laws in all states
should be applicable to all employ-
ments, regardless of their type and
the number of persons employed.
Workers tn agriculture, domestic
workers, end employes of charitable
Inetltutlons are excluded under most
state laws, while certain states also
exclude occupations or industries
“The exemption of employers of
less than a stated number of work-
ers also seriously limits the coverage
in 29 states. In South Carolina, for
example, an employer with fewer
than IS employe: is exempt from
coverage under the state taw. In 19
states such numerical exemptions are
not in effect, although coverage In
certain of these states is limited to
"ite! tndnstires which may or may
.jot be termed "hazardous" or "extra-
hazardous'' employments.
"It is now generally recognised that
occupational diseases should be cov-
ered under compensation laws. Some
state laws list only specific diseases
in a schedule; others provide cov-
erage for all occupational diseases
The American Federation of Labor
and affiliated state federations are
whole-heartedly behind the campaign
to replace the schedule providing for
only specific diseases with full cov-
erage in all state laws.
"Finally, with present high living
costa It will be necessary to revise
upward both —iiniwBi>jw and OMixlflivsi
benefits which have been in many
cases Inadequate.”
tional Service, declared that Euro-
pean nations "have a tremendous
stake in the snccees of the recovery
program which the United States
has so wisely and geuerously launched
in cooperation with the participating
countries.’'
Mr. levees' remarks came in debate
on the contents of the annual report
of. the director-general of the later-
national Labor Office al the ILO con-
ference here wntcb be is attending
as a delegate.
The workers of most of tlte coun-
tries ooncerned, he said, have given
• heir answer to those who present
the ERP as a program tor the en-
slavement of Europe “by what they
like to call dollar imperialism.' ’The
ereal majority of tbe trade unions,
ha declared, have eome together in
support of the plan because they
have examined the plan freely within
their own organisations and have
come freely to tbe conclusion that the
plan was calculated to promote the
economic health of Europe, and not
its economic exploitation or Ito po-
IRIcal domination.
It waa odd, ho added, that talk of
compulsion and enslavement should
have come from those who forced
some of their neighbors to withdraw
from the plan against their manifest
deelre and their obvious interests.
In other action at the IIX) con-
ference. which has reached ite half-
way point, the committee discussinK
the proposed convention on freedom
of association reached agreement on
one of the most controversial issues.
Committee members, composed of gov-
ernment. labor, and employer repre-
sentatives. agreed on the following
declaration:
"Workers and employer, without
distinction whatsoever shall have
the right to establish and, subject only
to tl»e rules of the organization con-
cerned. to join organizations of their
own choosing without previous au-
thorisation. in this convention, tbe
term organisation means any organl-
zatio of workers or employers r
furthering and defending the
tereste of workers and employers."

national representative. U. 8. gov-

IN BARGAINING ELECTION
Cleveland.—The American Federa-
tion of Labor scored another victory
over the CIO here when employes of
the Precision Castings Company voted
for an AFL union as their collective
bargaining agent in an election con-
ducted by the National I-abor Rela-
tion Board.
Workers at the plant rejected the
CIO's United Automobile Workers
and chose the AFL union by a vote
of 188 to 130. Elgin employes cast
ballot« in favor of "no union" and 5
ballots were challenged
Washington.—Hearings on a peti-
tion by the National Labor Relations
Board asking for an injunction against
a strike of 1,100 agricultural workers
will be held in U. 8. District Court in
Fresno, Calif., According to a state-
ment released by H. L Mitchell, presi-
dent of the AFL's National Farm La-
bor, Union.
An NLRB petition to enjoin agri-
cultural laborers is unprecedented, in
that the Taft-Hartley Labor Manage-
ment Relations Act of 1947 specifi-
cally excludes from its coverage “any
Individual employed as an agricul-
tural laborer."
The petition for an injunction
charges the National Farm Labor Un-
ion I-ocaI 218 of Bakersfield, Ctlif.,
which has been on strike against the
22,000-acre Di GionMo Fruit Corpora-
tion ranch since October 1, 1947, with
engaging in a secondary boycott by
(Busing others to cease using, selling,
handling, transporting or otherwise
dealing In tbe products of the pro-
ducer.
Alexander H. Schullman. labor re-
latione attorney of Los Angeles, is
, representing the AFL Farm Labor
I Union and Is filing a motion to dis-
miss the government's application tor
an Injunction, on tbe grounds that the
NLRB ia seeking to invoke a taw that
specifically excludes all agricultural
laborers. Ho is challenging the con-
stitutionality of tbe action since it
would penalize agricultural laborers
while denying them any rights under
tbe law. The labor attorney will also
cludlenge the constitutionality of tbe
secondary boycott provision of tbe
Taft-Hartley Act
Tbe strike of the AFL Farm Labor
Union tnetnbera against tbe Di Gior-
gio Fruit Corp., which is now In its
ninth month, has been carried on
with tbe full support of the labor
movement.

INI REINING UNDER FACTS
New York.- A study of holiday pro-
visions iu 100 labor union contrails
shows that the trend toward paid hoik
days for production workers "is evi-
dently continuing, ibe nation al in-
dustrial conference board reported.
In 78 of the lOo union contracts
analyzed, pay is prmlded on holidays
e\en though no work te performed.'
In the reamining 22 contracts, time
off on holidays wit hunt pay l» speci-
fic
These findings contrast sharply with
findings of a slmilai study of holiday
provisions made by ibe board in 1942.
