1935. ch. 574, sec. 65.

65. In the interpretation and application of this sub-title, the public
policy of this State is declared to be as follows: Negotiations of terms and
conditions of labor should result from voluntary agreement between em-
ployer and employees. Governmental authority has permitted and en-
couraged employers to organize in the corporate and other forms of capital
control. In dealing with such employers the individual unorganized
worker is helpless to exercise actual liberty of contract, and to protect his
freedom of labor, and thereby to obtain acceptable terms and conditions
of employment. Therefore it is necessary that the individual workman
have full freedom of association, self organization, and designation of
representatives of his own choosing, to negotiate the terms and conditions
of his employment, and that he shall be free from interference, restraint
or coercion of employers of labor, or their agents, in the designation of such
representatives or in self-organization or in other concerted activities for
the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.

1935, ch. 574, sec. 66.

66. Every undertaking or promise hereafter made, whether written or
oral, expressed or implied, between any employee or prospective employee
and his employer, prospective employer or any other individual, firm, com-
pany, association, or corporation, whereby

(a) Either party thereto undertakes or promises to join—or to remain
a member of some specific labor organization or organizations or to join
or remain a member of some specific employer organization or any em-
ployer organization; and/or

(b) Either party thereto undertakes or promises not to join or not to
remain a member of some specific labor organization or any labor organi-
zation or organizations, or of some specific employer organization or any
employer organization or organizations; and/or

(c) Either party thereto undertakes or promises that he will withdraw
from an employment relation in the event that he joins or remains a mem-
ber of some specific labor organization or any labor organization or organi-
zations or of some specific employer organization or any employer organi-
zation or organizations, is hereby declared to be contrary to public policy
and shall not afford any basis for the granting of legal or equitable relief
by any court against a party to such undertaking or promise, or against
any other persons who may advise, urge or induce, without fraud, violence,
or threat thereof, either party thereto to act in disregard of such under-
taking or promise.
