BOARD. AFfIRMS
RIGHT OF LABOR
TO FORM UNION
Ruling by War Labor Board
Upholds Organization OF
Munition Workers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The right
of workers of ammunition plants u
organize in trade unions or groups anu
to bargain collectively through chosen
representatives is recognizer and al
firmed in an award made public Wed
nesday by the National War LABOR
Board in controversy between the
Smith G. Wesson company, arms man
ufacturers, and their employees at
Springfield, Mass.
Their board ruled that any employees
discharged in violation OF the prlncl-
pies of the award should be restored
to their positions and paid for all time
lost on account Of the discharge.
The practice of the company In
times past to make restrictive per-
sonal contracts, even if lawful when
made, is contrary to the principles OF
the board, it was stated in the award,
and the practice should be dlscon-
tinued for the period of the war.
The board ruled that employers
should not discharge workers for mem
bership in trade unions nor for legiti-
mate trade union activity, and that
the workers on their part in the ex-
ercise of their rights to organize
should not use coercive measures OF
any kind to induce employers to bar
gain or deal with them.
| Representative to present grleV'
ances and mediate with the company
the board suggested, should be elected
| by the employees in a convention in a
public building in the neighborhood OF
; the plant In commenting upon the
award Joint Chairman Walsh said that
| it was one of the most important cases
! yet decided by the board. The com
pany claimed the right to make indi
vidual contracts with the men, he said
which was intended to prevent EN-
| ployes from thereafter joining labor
unions under the right guaranteed tt
them by the very first principle of the
| War Labor Board.

bagging and transporting to cars. 1t
is suggested that the nuts and shells
be sent to or delivered to the chair
man of the county council who will
then be furnished with government
bill of lading and with marking, ship
ping and billing instructions. A suf-
ficient quantity of bags to take care
of estimated receipts will also be fur
nished and these could either be sent
to the various producers or arrange
ments could be made to bag the nuts
or shells after their delivery to the
chairman.
Other shell ma terials which can be
used are cocoanut shells, peach pits,
apricot pits, ETC."
w. w Keller. chairman of the
County Council of Defense, stated
Thursday that Omer Whelan would
be appointed chairman of the cam
paign. Keller suggested that the
boys and girls help out by gathering
the nuts in the fall for this purpose.

No Change in Bread
Situation in France

PARIS, Wednesday, Aug. 21-The
splendid promise of the wheat harvest
in France having given rise to a re-
port that the limitations on the bread
allowance would shortly be removed
or that the rations would be consider
ably increased, today caused the is
suance of an official note of warning
that such reports were distinctly pre-
mature.
The note says that nothing with re-
spect to bread can be arranged before
the exact results of the harvest are
known and when the amount of wheat,
which can be placed at the disposition
of Frances allies is decided. Further
more, the note points out that the
available tonnage must be devoted to
the bringing to France of American
troops now training in the United
States, and that any benefit from the
present harvest will be employed to
liberate tonnage. 1t adds that nothing
would be more dangerous than to en-
courage the belief that there will be
any appreciatable amelioration in the
bread situation.

The County Council of Defense has
been asked by the state council to
start a campaign for the collection OF
walnut and hickory nut shells to be
used in making gas masks.
"The Gas Defense Division OF the
Army advises that the supply Of hick-
ory and walnuts as well as the shells
of these nuts is not sufficient to meet
the demands in connection with the
manufacture of gas masks. The re-
auirements for nut shells are tremen-
dous in quantity, approximating 500
tons per day, and our information in
dicates that the government is sup
plying material to the allies as we'll as

bon of these shells constitutes very

The Gas Defense Division has called
upon the State Council to assist in OBJ
tanning all the possible supplies of
these nuts and shells. They are will
