STATE OF NEW JERSEY CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF 1947
COMMITTEE ON RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AMENDMENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Tuesday, August 5, 1947 (Morning session)
(The session began at 11:00 A. M.)
PRESENT: Carey, Delaney, Ferry, Glass, Katzenbach, Park, Pursel, Randolph, Schenk, Stanger and Taylor.
Chairman John F. Schenk presided.
CHAIRMAN JOHN F. SCHENK: The Committee on Rights, Privileges, Amendments and Miscellaneous Provisions will please come to order.
I might say the Committee heard very many witnesses and we worked right up to the deadline finding our area of agreement and getting our report ready on our Proposal. There is now an opportunity for interested citizens to appear and be heard on it. At this time we are going to call on our first witness, Mr. Carl Holderman.
Mr. Holderman, we thought we would use either one of the lecterns. Will that be all right, sir? Mr. Holderman is of the C.I.O., and he will mention some other related material and questions of other speakers, I believe, as well.
MR. CARL HOLDERMAN: Mr. Chairman and members of the Committee:
I am appearing here today in behalf of the State Industrial Union Council, C.I.O., and I have been asked to represent the Committee on Constitutional Revision on several matters that are before the Committee on Rights and Privileges. May I say in the beginning that I know the Committee has toiled long and hard on the report that is being proposed to the Convention, and I appreciate the opportunity that you gave us to testify on a previous occasion and this opportunity to testify concerning some of the provisions of the report that will be submitted to the Convention. I understand that the report will be in two parts, a majority report and a minority report. I have only had the privilege of scanning the report very briefly this morning and so I may touch upon one or two matters that may not be in the report or of which we have had no cause for criticism.
