Supporters of labor regulations said
the opinion strengthens the s0-called
“right to work" law, which says no
person shall be denied a job on ac-
count of membership or nonmember-
ship in a labor union.
Secretary of State Ben Ramsey,
who helped pass the law as a State
Senator in 1947, said most picketing
cases involve the use of ncnunion
workers, Ramsey added.
L. N. D. Wells, Jr., attorney for the
Texas Federation of Labor, termed
the decision a "99 per cent win."
“The court held unconstitutional
the most onerous of Texas’ restric-
tive labor laws," said Welle. “It leaves
the laboring man free to picket against
loafer wages and substandard condi-
tions."
The Supreme Court upheld an in-
junction granted H. I. Stephenson,
Amarillo contractor, to stop the pick-
eting of a construction job. The pick-
eting occurred after Stephenson’s
employees had voted against joining
the construction and general labor

"There are some shoti-sighted
pessimists who believe that our civill-
ger of the Dallas social security or-
flee. - ___.
“These persons,” Mr. Tutt contin-
nd, “include the retired worker’s
wife and voung children and the de-
••eased worker’s widow, children, or
parents. You see, the old-age and
survivors insurance system is a fam-
ly insurance program which, under
certain cenditions. pays benefits to
these family members."
“The unfortunate thing right now
though, ia that ther" probably are a
number of eligible survivors of de-
ceased workers in this area who have
not filen for these insurance payments,
snd. therfore, are not receiving them.
Undoubtedly, the main reason for
this is that the worker never told
them to get in touch with a social
security office in case he should die.
Since an application must be filed
within three months after the work-
er's death to prevent loss of payments,
seme of these survivors may have
already lost hundreds of dollars.
“The surest way that a worker can
protect his Natioral Insurance invest-
ment and his loved ones is to tell
them to contact the Dallas Social Se-
curity office in the event of his death,"
Mr. Tutt concluded.
