An example is a rule requiring the use on coal cars of automatic brakes _which mine owners say have never been manufactured Sen. Harrison Williams N.J says the occupational safety legislation should be tougher than the mine safety bill and he predicts that the House will approve its version of the measure within four to six weeks A bill has been introduced S. 3671 by Sen. John Tower Tex) to strip the National Labor Rela- tions Board of its jurisdiction over cases of alleged unfair labor pra^- tices The bill would transfer those functions to the Federal courts Sen. Tower said the legislation has become necessary because the NLRB has ignored the original in- tent of the National Labor Rela- tions Act of 1935 proceeded on a self directed course and has behaved as if it were an extension of organized labor The Senator said that the goals of the 1935 Act to guarantee cmployees the right to organize without employer interference and to requirerequire employers to barga in good ffaaitih th with with chosen chosen representatives of their employees are worthy ones but the NLRB has subverted the principle of free employee choice and has pursued instead a policy of enforced unionization In a report filed recently by the Senate Subcommittee on Separation of Powers the NLRB is criticized for being overly responsive to the The new bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee which might look more favorably upon it than would the Labor Committee which is heavily stacked in favor of organized labor The Full Education and Labor Committee in the House is expected to approve a radical proposal H.R. 16785 to grant the Secretary of Labor power to write police and enforce Federal standards for oc- cupational safety in all businesses engaged in interstale commerce The reaching measure was approved by the Select Labor Sub- committee on March 25 when the full Committee Chairman Carl Perkins Ky joined with Sub- committee Democrats to form a quorum for reporting the bill over the resistance of Republicans who back a more reasonable Administration bill H.R. 13373 & S. 2788 preferred by the National Chamber The pending safety proposals could extend Federal control inic many traditional management func- tions the most significant of which include the number of hours an employee can work the quali^-ca tions required of employees to perform specific jobs and even the size of work crews The National Chamber feels that If Federal job safety legislation is to be enacted it is absolutely es sential that the legislation be fair and reasonable and that because the possible scope of admir- istrative regulation full and mean- guaranteed A dying man told his want association members to be my pallbearers Why she asked You never belonged to the organization They've carried me this far he replied they might as well carry me the rest of the way Join NICA today JUNE 1970 tbs > a 4 t foi u i 4 F 7 i
