i Page 2 Waukesha Daily Freeman Wednesday, May 5, 1948 High Court Asked to Overrule Utility Strike Law Decision Decision by Reis to Be Given Test MADISON, (UP)--The attorney general's office appealed to the Wisconsin supremo court today to overrule a recent decision by Circuit Judge Alvin Reis declaring the new state utility anti-strike law unconstitutional. Reis in March declared that the 1047 law prohibiting public utility workers from striking made "slaves out of these workers." He held that the law forced utility workers into "involuntary servitude" in violation of the federal constitution. The attorney general's brief today denied this claim. It said that the law guarantees each worker the right to quit if he chooses. "If a worker has the right to quit his job he can hardly be deemed subject to slavery," the brief declared.

Limitations on the right to strike have generally been upheld by the courts, the brief pointed out. Law Often Upheld In ieply to the charge by P.eis that the law discriminated against utility workers the briff stated, "legislation applying to utilities as a class has so frequently been upheld that there can be little question of the validity of such a classification." Consumers aie "wholly depend cnt" upon the public utility th reives them, the briet said. Theie fore an inteiruption of utility sei-v ice "has a far more devastating ef feet" than shutting off the seivic of a competitive business, it arguec Reis himself raised the questio: of the law's constitutionality dm ing a suit slatted by the Dairylani Power coopeiativc. Alma, agame the Wisconsin employment rela tions boaid Dairyland mamtamec that the anti-strike law did not ap ply to cooperatives. It sought court order piohibitmg the WERE from proceeding with arbitration of a wage dispute between the co operative and local B-953, Inter national Brotherhood of Electrica Workers.

The attorney general's brie, claimed Reis had no jurisdiction to declare the law unconstitutiona even if he was convinced it was in valid. System of Conciliation The state'? brief said it was a well established principle that "a court will not decide a law to be unconstitutional as an abstract proposition." TEXAS TOKNADO DESTROYS $2,000,000 PROPERTY--Third floor of Texas Textile Mill, McKlnney, is completely blown away and workers' cars damaged as a twisting tornado whips through northern Texas. Property damage is estimated at more than $2,000,000. (Acme Telephoto) Neither the cooperative nor the union questioned.the constitutionality of the law and neither was adversely affected by tho law's llm- right to stiike, the itations on the brief said. "Smely, before the court is quhed to undertake the renous responsibility of sinking down an entire piece of legislation on constitutional grounds it is entitled to have before it more information as to how the law operates on the right of individuals," clared.
