After Night of Drinking Labor Fight Brews over Union Shop Right-to-Work' Laws Slated for Attack By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 A fight between organized labor and organized management over so-called "right-to-work" laws will move into the industrial states, it was learned today. The AFL and CIO have declared war on the laws, but strong management groups are out to defend them and also to take the offensive in such states as Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. They recognize that more union strength is found, in in dustrial states, and that the union forces think they were helped In state legislatures and governors' offices by the No vember elections.

But they think they have a talking point. Loss of Industry Most of the states With "right-to-work" laws are in the South there's a solid band from Virginia to Texas. The management argument in the Industrial states will be that a similar law will help to stop migration of their industries to locations where organized labor does not have so much influence. A number of industrialists will meet here Wednesday with plans to form a national organization with the aim of de fending and extending the right to work statutes. These laws forbid any form of "union security" even though Federal law legalizes the "union shop," under which employes must become union members within a specified time, usually 30 days.

Former Rep. Fred A. Hart ley New Jersey Republican, has been mentioned prominently as director of the. proposed new organization. He was co- sponsor in Congress of the Taft-Hartley Law.

Plans Indefinite Mr. Hartley, reached by tele phone at his New Jersey home, said plans are by no means definite, but there have been meetings in several cities." He also aid that none of the largest industrial concerns are taking part and that the leading figures represent manufacturers of medium size. Another objective of the new organization, if formed, is expected to be retention of the Taft-Hartley section which defers to the states in matters of union security. It gives state statutes In this field precedence over the Fed eral even in' interstate commerce. There now are 17 states In the South and West with right-to-work statutes.

Hearing Dec. 21 In Bus Dispute UNIONTOWN, Dec. 11 (Special) Judge John Morrow has scheduled an Injunction hearing Dec. 21 in efforts to outlaw a free bus operated by strikers on the City Bus Line. The struck line recently was taken over by Vernard Victor who closed a deal with Joseph Panzara, former owner, for purchase of the bus line for $32,000.

The 18 drivers and mechanics, on strike since Sept. 1, are members of AFL Local 491, Teamsters. Because they have been drawing $20 weekly strike benefits, their application for unemployment ensation has been blocked.
