Gerard Reilly Still Talking
WASHINGTON-(FP)- Gerard D. Reilly, former member of the NLRB who went sour on organized labor even before he helped draft the Taft-Hartley slave labor law, believes the new act retains "the central features of the Wagner act."
Speaking before a printing industry luncheon, Reilly said "there is danger of a certain amount of lawlessness which will discredit the objectives of the bill."
Reilly then got down to real business when he advised the industrial relations section of the group that they could charge the Intl. Typographical Union with refusing to bargain if the ITU should try to make closed shop agreements without benefit of contract.
The former liberal said newspapers could not stop a strike to enforce a contract making printing foremen be members of the ITU, but that the union could not force the employer to sign such a contract without being guilty of unfair labor practice under the Taft-Hartley act.
