...Ambridge, Pa. guilty of unfair labor practices under the Wagner Act. A Federal district court had held that a contract by which the corporation granted a closed shop to an A. F. of L. union was valid and must be obeyed. The Board flatly declared the contract was "void and of no effect" and must be ignored (TIME, Sept. 13). Last week the Board carried the controversy a step farther only to make a monkey of itself...

Last week, just as National Electric was posting this order throughout its plant, the Labor Board cracked down with a thunderous ruling that the A. F. of L. contract was "void and of no effect." Its "precipitate granting," held the Board, smacked of trickery, since the company knew that the A. F. of L. union "did not represent the free choice of a majority of its employes."
