UNIONS FIGHT
NRA SLASH

Declaring that the recent per-
sonnel cuts at NRA were but q
forerunner Of "a political, vote
getting economy wave that eventu-
ally will engulf the entire Federal
service" members Of the NRA
union Of the American Federation
Of Government Employees today re-
newed plans to combat the re-
trenchment policy now in force at
the Blue Eagle agency.
A meeting planned as o celebra-
tion Of the unions second birthday
last night at the Hayloft turned
into a mass meeting Of protest
over the dismissal of Henry Rhine.
vice president Of the organization,
who NRA colleagues charge was
fired because of union activity.
More than 200 employees jammed
the club to hear official tactics Of
the present Administration flayed
by speaker after speaker, among
whom were E. Claude Babcock, ma
tional president of the A. F. g. E.,
and John L. Donovan, hero Of the
1884 battle with Gen. Hugh s.
Johnson. in which Donovan re-
gained his Job after being ousted
allegedly for union activity.
Speaking on behalf Of Mr..
Rhine, Mr.. Donovan declared that
in view of the fact that the union
vice presidents immediate Supe-
riors said his efficiency was be-
yond question. and that they
would like to have him back on
the job, it was beyond doubt that
he was discharged in the recent
personnel cut because Of his mill
tant activity on behalf Of organ
lied colleagues.
