The Board further ordered that Wards guarantee its >

Under the Constitution, Congress is the sole law
making authority. If closed shops and compulsory arbi«
tration are to become requirements upon employers, it
is Congress and not the War Labor Board which should
make them so. Congress has not empowered the Board
to order any employer to do any of the things it de- ;
mauds of Wards.

Wards' efforts to preserve the essential freedoms be-
tween itself and its employees have not been prompted
by any feeling of anti-unionism. The report the
Mediation Panel expressly recognizes this fact. Wards'
policy has been to obey the law. WatdsTias twenty-nine
union contracts with both A. F. of L. and C.I.O. unions.
Wards has already given its employees the increases
in wages previously recommended by the Board. Wards
did this even though its wages were already as high as

In this order die Board demands that Montgomery
Ward ft Company enter into a contract establishing a
form of dosed shop called ’’maintenance of member- .
ship," together with a check-off Of union dues from
wages. Under this form of closed shop, the emplo/ees
who are memftvi. the tmiof» T»xXdd not be free to

resign from the union without being discharged, and
Wards would not be free to retain a competent worker **
who had resigned from the union. This making of unioq.

Accordingly, Wards rejects the order pf the Board.
If Congress imposes dosed shops, compulsory arbta«-
tioB or contracts for a year's duration on e&pAdyervor
if the President of the United States, as Commander-in-
chief in time of war, directs that Wards accept the
Board's rulings, which we earnestly believe are Illegal I
and uneconomic* we will respectfully obey. . J

If the Board's order against Wards is enforced, the
pattern will be, established by which all unions in all
industries can secure a form of closed shop and check-
off merely by appealing to the War Xabor Board,
The Board further ordered a form of compulsory
arbitration for Wards. Wards is not opposed to volun-
tary arbitration. However, Wards' management should
not, as demanded by the Board, abandon responsibilities
which have been vested in it by the owners of the cor-
poration, <ua av umxwawdr tO arbitraseh
