McGovern strategists claimed even more delegate votes, and Rick Stearns, their chief head-counter, said the restoration of the California votes "puts us over the top." McGovern won the June 6 primary which, by state law, awarded the victor all 271 national convention votes. But the credentials panel, in a political power play McGovern called a rotten steal, voted last Thursday to apportion the delegates on the basis of the candidates' finish. The Court of Appeals declared the Credentials Committee action null and void. 1 "This decision reaffirms the choice of the California voters and the rules of the Democratic Ladies: Our Entire Summer Stock of dresses-gowns-sportswear reduced for clearance.

As a result of studies and analyses by lawyers experienced in labor matters and by other practitioners in the collective bargaining process they have developed far-reaching recommendations for labor law reform.

Companies represented on the study group's steering committee include: American Smelting Refining American Telephone Telegraph Bethlehem Steel Columbia Gas System, First National City Bank, Ford Motor General Dynamics General Electric Co. Also, the B.F. Goodrich Humble Oil St Refining R.H. Macy Olin Sears, Roebuck and 3M Co. and Union Carbide.

(c) N. Y. Times News Service NEW YORK "We've been talking to ourselves too much," said Carl H. Hageman, a vice president of Union Carbide Corp. and a leading exponent of labor law reform.

"We now feel it's time to tell the general public that if this country is to remain competitive in the world situation and provide the number of jobs it has got to, then we have to have the basic balance restored in collective bargaining." In an interview at his office here, Hagemen explained that a group of top leaders of American industry had become increasingly concerned in recent years about the "excesses of union power" and that they had now decided to launch a campaign to alert the public to what they consider to be a serious problem directly affecting the nation's economy. "We think that if we can acquaint people with the problem, pressures will build up to the point where one of these days we'll get the needed remedial legislation," Hageman said. He is chairman of the public information subcommittee of the Labor Law Study Committee. The labor law study committee represents a cross-section of American industry. It was originally formed in 1966 by a group of business leaders who felt that something must be done to reverse what they regarded as the "imbalance in the labor-management equation." Since then the organization has been studying labor laws and their impact on the nation's are granted and whenever a union's majority status is questioned.

Limit the use of picketing as an economic weapon, so that it is used only against the party with whom a union has a dispute and outlaw all picketing to force an employer to recognize a union. Guarantee an opportunity for employers to discuss unionization with their employes. Require a secret ballot vote on whether to strike when requested by the union, the employer or 10 per cent of employes. Limit so-called coalition bargaining by groups of unions by restricting places at the bargaining table to parties to the contract being negotiated. Prevent a replaced striker from claiming any status as an employe.

Let federal courts require unions to honor all terms of their agreements. One of the study committee's major concerns, Hageman said, was the extent to which striking union members are able to draw upon tax-supported public funds while strikes are in progress through welfare assistance, food stamps, surplus food and unemployment compensation. "If we can eliminate such (assistance) as welfare and food stamps for strikers," Hageman said, "then a secret ballot vote after 30 days on whether to continue the strike, we feel, would shorten the duration of walkouts as economic pressures on the strike's buildup." Although the committee's activities have not received extensive public attention, their views and proposals have been brought to the attention of Congress and have been incorporated in various bills which have not as yet been acted upon. But the steering group has now decided to take the committee's proposals "off the back burner" and push labor law reform publicly and aggressively. Among reform proposals growing out of the labor law committee's studies are to: Require a secret ballot election before bargaining rights Worth Repeating Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization.
