U.S. LABOUR ACT DEFIED
ACTION INITIATED BY LONGSHOREMEN (Rec. 9 p.m.) SAN FRANCISCO, July 24. The International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union declared open war to-night on the Taft-Hartley Labour Act. The union’s executive board made the following recommendations: (1) that the National Labour Relations Board should be boycotted; (2) that political action should be intensified in defiance of the act; (3) that unions should refuse to sign any contracts containing no-strike clauses; and (4) that union officers should “do everything in their power to defeat the purposes of the act, and to bring about its unconditional repeal.”
