Of Members Hit Disrupters By EDWAIID LEVINSON (Union News Service) DETROIT The auto workers of the nation have made their de cision. UAW local unions with a total membership of 237,585 have voted: 1.

Labor fought, then, for its constitutional rights since there was no other way to gain the right of free speech, the right of assemblage, and the other basic guarantees of American citizenship. The National Labor Relations Act, in effect, says that no employer shall deny to his employees the rights inherent in every American; Senator Burke, and those who now seek to amend all value out of the law, still believe workingman must be "kept fha sums of money to England for my clients because they have been greatly disturbed that America is going to the dogs due to the labdr legislation which has recently been enacted by Congress. And then he added: Recently, they have been eager to have their new English investments sold out, even at a loss, because they have discovered that conditions in England are not as good as they are in America.

Then President Roosevelt appointed a Commission to study the relations of Organized Labor to Industry in England and he did it without fear as to what would be the result to American Labor. The Commission made its report, and to the amazement of the American industrialists who had been envying their English associates with regard to labor relations, it was discovered that in most respects Englishmen had learned by long experience to deal more reasonably with each other than we do in our country because of the antiquated methods which have long been practiced in the United States. On the whole, therefore, American investors are pretty well off when comparisons are made with the way things are going in England, although American employers may learn from English employers how to avoid strikes and other labor troubles by dealing collectively with the workers through a mu- tually accepted program.. overwhelming majority of the UAW membership, took their decisions in membership meetings and through duly elected executive boards.
