Important NLRB Decision
(Continued from Page 8) respecting concessions on one minor issue and agreement had already been reached on a number of others. The course of negotiations had not yet come to a dead end.
The Board concluded that the union "sought to drive a coercive wedge" between the employers and the Institute in order to force them to abandon the Institute as their collective bargaining representative. Accordingly, the Board entered a cease and desist order.
While the principles applied in this case are not new to labor law, their application to the facts presented in this dispute appears to be a strengthening of the position of contractor associations as collective bargaining representatives for their members. What the Board will do in cases of actual deadlock or impasse and whether the union's conduct would then be lawful was not indicated since, as the Board specifically pointed out, the question was not reached in this case. It seems clear, however, the Board is not easily going to find that an impasse or deadlock exists in any given case.
CONNECTICUT ANNUAL APPRENTICE COM
Future Connecticut bricklayers strive ambitiously for honors in the Annual State Apprentice Bricklayers Contest, one section of which is shown above. The event was an interest attracting feature of the Masonry Construction Jamboree. First Place winner was Giampa, of Hartford, who later made an excellent showing in the National Contest in St. Louis.
In a Washington, D. C. school a teacher was reviewing the story of the British attack on our national capital in the War of 1812. "With the approval of the British forces," she related, "all congressmen left the city. Of course, they came back later."
"Teacher," interrupted one little boy, wise in Washington ways, "did they get mileage both ways?"
