J- Cahoon Special Representative Utah State Press Association Salt Lake City. (Special to the ttingharn Bulletin). The rights of ) tbor an ascending star during dur-ing the past decade are thrcat-(ned thrcat-(ned with legislative losses during dur-ing the present session of the Utah legislature, and battle lines i re being drawn for a knock-town, knock-town, drag-out fight when the various anti-labor measures reach the House and Senate floors. So-called "anti - labor bills" have been introduced in both houses, but by far the most ser-i ser-i us losses to labor are threatened threaten-ed by three house measures sponsored spon-sored by Republican law-makers. II. B. 31 by Representative G. A. Staples, R., Sevier, would repeal the anti-injunction law applying to labor disputes, and also would re-word various laws so they could not be construed to legalize "secondary boycotts" or "hot cargos", which are specifically outlawed in a companion measure, mea-sure, H. B. 34, introduced by Representative Joseph E. Rees, R Morgan. In general a secondary second-ary boycott is the boycotting of stores which handle goods from a dealer involved in a labor dispute, dis-pute, while "hot cargo" is the mprehandlBP shinnprt fmrn a national administration in the continuation of its labor policy, and that the workingmen shall forever enjoy ull the rights secured se-cured to them by law in state and nation." Action in the Utah Senate through the third legislative week tended further to emphasize empha-size characteristics which were forecast at the opening of the session: 1. There are not (or at least, have not as yet, been brought out) any sharp party or factional faction-al lines. While there were occasional occas-ional marked divisions of the upper house over various individual indi-vidual bills, the divisional lines varied from bill to bill and seldom sel-dom expressed views of organized organiz-ed groups. 2. The senate is jealously guarding guard-ing against any attempt at infringement in-fringement on personal rights and liberties and is not likely to, look with favor on any proposals propos-als to broaden the powers of government agencies, from the governor down. Illustrative of the first of the points was an issue raised when a Salt Lake newspaper editorially editorial-ly charged the Republican senators sen-ators with making a "log rolling" deal with the governor. Not only did the GOP members Drotest for a full half hour on the floor of the senate, but the majority party members joined in vigorously vigor-ously rather than attempting to make profit out of possible misfortune mis-fortune to the opposition party. .. Promising a later fight, the plant at which a labor dispute is in progress. The third anti-labor measure in the House, H. B. 32 by Ref.ro- j sentatK-e, Clifton G. M. Knerr, R., Box Elder, provides that n j labor dispute as defined in Utah 1 exists only when there is a controversy con-troversy between an employer and a majority of his employees. This provision of the bill would deprive labor minorities of the protection of many Utah labor laws and would place upon la- bor the burden of proof in establishing estab-lishing rights to collective bar. gaining.; ... . . With virtually the entire Republican Re-publican minority bloc solidly in favor of the anti-labor legislation, legis-lation, many Democrats from the agricultural districts will .find themselves squarely on the spot when the . measures . reach the House floor. As farmers or representatives re-presentatives of farmers, they believe their constituents have been innocent "third party" victims vic-tims of manyf.;lappr disputes, especially es-pecially those involving secondary second-ary boycotts or hot cargos, where farm products have been the object ob-ject of the boycott although the farmer was not directly involved involv-ed in the labor controversy. These Democratic representatives were grimly reminded of the spot they are on when pamphlets appeared on their legislative desks with this sentence from the 1942 Utah Democratic platform outlined in red pencil: "We (the Democratic party) pledge ourselves to support the ena or mc ween saw tne introduction intro-duction of S. B. 98 to legalize horse racing ' and pari-mutu betting: such a bill narrowly missed passage in the House two years ago. '' Sponsors of the new bill are Senators McKinley Morrill, R. Wayne; June Kendall D., Juab, and J. Arthur Bailey, D., Sail Lake. The measure provides foi division of the state into twe districts Salt Lake, Davis and Weber counties forming the Firsl and the other 26 counties forming form-ing the Second. A license fee of $2,500 dollars would be charged for meets in the First district while a fee of $25 would be charged for each day of a racing meet in the Second Sec-ond district. Objectives stated in the bill are to increase and encourage development of the agricultural and livestock industries in the state, stimulate interest in agricultural agri-cultural exhibitions and distribute distrib-ute the financial benefits gained gain-ed from the meets to the people of the state. Killed in the Senate by a 9 to 13 vote was H. B. 7 to permit county commissioners to rent road equipment to private and corporate organizations and individuals in-dividuals in cases of emergency. |
