The hiring hall came into being 'to eliminate wasteful, time-consuming, and repetitive scouting for jobs by individual workmen and haphazard uneconomical searches by employers.' Congress has not outlawed the hiring hall, though it has outlawed the closed shop; a hiring-hall arrangement is not illegal per se, and the Board is confined to determining whether discrimination has in fact been practiced.
