WILSON United Press International StandWASHINGTON (UPI) most for ard operating procedure to out in angry cry politicians is protest against oppression j of the underdog, the little fellow, the on Main Barnes, Business ten Rep. Street, USA. Wendell B. in behalf of the Small Administration, has writEdgar WV Hiestand "about the plight of the small businessman oppressed by the big union. Barnes said-- the little fellow is defenseless5 against the unions without federal action against labor abuses, especially blackmail picketing and coercive boycotting. No Means Of Redress Of approximately four million small U. S. business concerns, Barnes said, at least three million have no legal means of redress for wrongs inflicted by unions. They lack financial resources to : Common Man. These little fellows vastly outnumber the big fellows, especially on election day. K is remarkable, therefore, that there is so little angry outcry by members of Congress against the oppression of little businessmen by labor unions with which they must deal. Thse unions are rich and all powerful monopolies by comparison with the small time employer (R-Cali- . . f.) resist . economic pressures, which, The NLRB, therefore, declines to that, in vesting NLRB with juris- little fellows but that it had "litBarnes vindicated, , are ! peculiarly deal with those it regards of les diction over labor disputes affect- tle o: jio merit." Hiestknd and Barnes seem not but not exclusively exerted by the ser importance. NLRB, directly ing interstate commerce, Con. j . k or indirectly, determines the im portance of a dispute by the dol lar volume of interstate sales and purchases transacted oy the em- ployers. . State Power Removed An aggrieved emploj er may be usually is denied a hearing if his dollar volume, fall J below the NLRB standard. Prid to 1957, such a small time employer fre quently was able to obtain relief from state courts whiqh assumed according to Barnes, thati they had jurisdiction.. In that year. however, the Supreme Court! held Teamsters. "For these firms," Barnes wrote, "the rights guaranteed to y Act employers by the have .no. practical significance. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that, under existing law,, they have no rights at" all." He explained that this situation arose by reason of a jurisdictional gap between federal and state authorities respecting labor disputes. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) cannot handle all of the labor disputes arising which affect interstate' commerce. : i Taft-Hartle- ; gress had removed all power of state courts to, deal with such ' matters. "Since then," Barnes wrote, 'the three million small employe ers of whom I speak have been at the mercy of the unions with no right of ' recourse to state courts or tribunals for protectioa from illegal action." , Barnes hopes the House" will improve the Senate's Kennedy-Ervi- n bill which now is before the House Labor Committee. jHe said the Kennedy-Ervi- n bill contained a section dealing with his L : to have much company in their efforts for the small businessman despite the numbers who can vote.

This is the story of how, the flag was changed from its original design for the first 49-st- ar 13-st- ar time. : "y:---- Vermont could well be called the orphan of the Revolution. At the outbreak, the wild territory north of Massachusetts and between New Hampshire and New York was commonly known as the New Hampshire Grants. This was because of the numerous land grants made to sellers .by the governor of New Hampshire. But New York .had challenged .that right and an order from King George HI and a later court casa held in favor of New York. The sturdy pioneers, threat- feed with displacement,' refused to accept the dec'sion. Militia Is Organized . the leadership of the Under . Ethan Allen, a' militia was fiery formed, later to be known as the Green Mountain Boys. The people were divided iio two factions. In the East the authority of New York was recognized in the West it was defied. When the Revolution began in 1775, the people, of the New Hampshire Grants had little reason to join in it. But Lexington and Concord erased, for the time being,, the" old enmity with New York. On May 10, 1775, the Green Mountain Boys captured the fortress of Ticonderoga on Lake , Champlain. This was the .first victory oy Americans in the war, .Ethan Allen's blustering, "In the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress," served as d a rallying cry to the" disorganized colonies..
