Labor Board Holds Union
Proper Bargaining Agency
For Workers in Big A Plant

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Rebuke
to American Tobacco Company anti
union tactics was voted by the work
ers themselves in an election just
held under supervision of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board in the
company's plant at Reidsville, N. c.
This plant makes 80 per cent of
the company's Lucky Strike Gig
arettes. Local 1872 Of the Tobacco
Workers International Union, polled
All out of 487 ballots cast by the
936 workers declared eligible to vote.
The National Labor Relations Board
has declared the union proper bar
gaining agency as a result of the
election, but the company's attitude
toward the union has not been stated
1t probably will run true to past form
and refuse to recognize the decision,
unless and until there is supreme
court declsloh OH the law iCseii.
Forty machine adjusters were
not allowed to vote, following repre-
sentation by the Machinists' Union.
The bargaining unit includes Gig

LIVING CONDITIONS
OF SEAMEN SCORED
BY A. F. of L. News Service.

Washington, D. ca report strong
~ condemning the living and working
conditions Of seamen in the American
merchant marine has been prepared
by the United States Laber Depart
ment, according to the Washington
Daily News.
The report is said to be based on
first-hand study by agents in the la
Dor department with the assistance of
commerce department officials. The
field force, according to the News, was
led by Turner W. Battle, executive
assistant to Secretary Of Labor Per-
kins. and a graduate of the Naval
Academy.
Pointing out that several hundred
ships were visited by investigators,
who took passage on number of them
in order to observe actual conditions
under which crews worked, the News
article said the report is understood
ito disclose among other things that
in many instances the crews and stew
ards of large passenger lines are de-
MED even place to sit down to eat
They stand around the steam tables
and eat catch as catch can.
The report is also said to show that
even aboard luxury liners" the sea
men and stewards have almost primi-
tive sanitary facilities and inadequate
sleeping quarters which are not pro-
vided even with ventilation. but that
living and working conditions were
better on freighters than ON passen-
ger vessels.
Declaring that for several years
union seamen have been complaining
that working conditions aboard ship
not only ieopardized their health but
endangered the safety of both crew
and passengers" !" the News added that
copy Of the report is said to have
been turned over to the recently ap-
pointed maritime commission, which is
authorized by law to investigate con-
ditions imposed on seamen by those
who own and operate American mer
chant marine.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Labor
has leaped into political Importance
entirely new in the United States, and
the outlook is for immediate action to
consolidate the new position to insure
a permanent labor leadership in the
demonstrated progressive trend Of the
nation.
In assessing the importance of cleo
ton results, one of the first considera-
tions is this:
1t was not Aired M. Landon who was
defeated. 1t was these things that
were beaten under the most amazing
avalanche of votes ever rolled up for
any single cause in this country.
i. The philosophy Of corporation
control;
2. The American daily press;
! 8. The notion that the individual,
by himself, can be an effective factor
for his own protection in modern IN
dustrial life.
Wealthy Families Beaten
! The worst beaten individuals are:
/ /. William Randolph Hearst;
! 2. The dupont family;
/ 8. All Smith;
A. The Mellon family;
5. The other wealthy families that
sought to form hierarchy of wealth
for political purposes.
The American nation has written
itself down as definitely progressive
and as determined to back program
designed for people as against pro-
gram designed for corporations.
1t may easily develop that the era
of corporations is over, except as
purely legal devices to facilitate pro-
duction.
New Prestige For Labor
Labor energies from the campaign
with remarkable triumph written on
banners that flew in defiance of all
the inherited tradition of the labor
movement, but which flew in recog-
milton of a fact. That fact was that
the old way had ceased to work. Labor
never has needed any other fact in
determining policy.

was thrown into the arena only four
months prior to election it was not
given a welcome universally. But IT

Company Did Not Cooperate

In announcing the election results,
the National Labor Relations Board
declares that the company did not CO.
operate in holding the election and
makes that fact clear from the record.
The situation in respect to the
American Tobacco Company is vastly
different from that in Louisville,
where more than two years ago the
Brown & Williamson Tobacco Cor
poration unionized voluntarily, put
ting the Tobacco Workers Union label
on all of its tobacco brands and on it's
cigarette brands, which include Kools,
Raleighs, Viceroys and Wings. In
addition, these brands carry the union
labels of the Photo Engravers and the
Typographical Union.
Company Long Anti Union
The American Tobacco Company is
one of the Big Four long noted for
anti-union hostility and still in that
unhappy category. The union has
conducted an uphill battle to organize,
but it is made clear that the brands
that should be used by workers are
the brands that bear the union label

lay off l28 and keep the remainder
on eight-hour days.

NEW YORK.-The arrival of a
boa constructor, IA lizards Zone de-
ceaseO and two giant anteaters
aboard the steamship Toloa
brought a gleam of pleasure to the
eye of Captain Cheyne-Stout, 20
illogical conSultant of the Central
Park Zoo, as he examined his new
acquisitions at the United States
Fruit Line dock here.
A somewhat similar gleam ap-
peared in the eyes of the Toloa
boatswain as the crates cleared the
Toloa's rail, marking the close of
his three frantic weeks in the role
of keeper"
Although the specimens, one of
which will have to be stuffed, rep
resented II splendid acquisitions
for the Park Department, the
boatswain was emphatic in his eX-
planation that they had repre-
sented seventeen distinct head

ants, one by one, to feed them
beasts, well they had another
think. Even the crew is ribbin'
me behind my back. 1 won't
hear the last of this for many a

AS if to corroborate his state
ment, a mocking voice arose from
an open hatchWay:
'"WhO'S full of red ants?"

almost sepulchral response, in evi-

Disturbing rumors have reached
the ears of your agent concerning
autocratic abuse of authority by
certain umpireS in the American
League. According to sources that
are believed to be 100 per cent
reliable, a certain man in blue
replied to what may or may not
have been a legitimate protest
over a called strike with personal
abuse that called for a stiff poke
in the nose by way Of answer.
Poking the official in the nose.
or boffing him on the chin would
have been very poor diplomacy. 1t
would have resulted in the player
being suspended for 80 days, sub
jected to a fine Of $1,000, and
being a marked man for the rest
of his professional career.
The umpire who scored the
temporary victory over the player
is being closely watched by Off
cial observers of the American
League. He is fresh from the
bushes and very much on trial in
the big time. His work has been
anything but outstanding, and the
player he called out of his name
is an outstanding star.
There will be arguments between
players and umpires as long as
baseball endures. The lines are
drawn sharply on both sides, and
these lines are very battling.
Names that are "Shootin' words"
in some places pass unnoticed.
Others, less vitriolic to some folks,
call for vigorous rebuttal. Just
another case of standards. Um-
pires and players know where the
lines are drawn. The player dareS
not overstep. The umpire should
be permitted to overdraw on his
authority.

Team in Lead
For Second
Half Title
BY SID KATZNELL

How did the Hecht Company
baseball team win the first half
crown in the Department Store
League, and how is it leading the
second half race with two victories
and no defeats? Many SandlotterS
are asking this question these days
and the answer is simple enough.
Hecht has the best balanced team
in the league.
In the outfield there is Johnny
Mahaney, Denny McInerney and
Tommy Jones, an outfield combi-
nation, according to the newly
elected manager, Mike Glass, that
won't bow down to any contingent
in the league.
Mahaney Is Improved
Mahaney, who guards left field,
until this season confined his
talents to softball. At first Johnny
was a bit awkward, but soon
found his bearing and he is now
considered one of the best field
ers in the circuit.
McInerney occupies the lead
off position in the batting order,
and patrols center. He possesses
the uncanny ability of waiting
the pitchers out. His unorthodox
style at plate draws walks for
him. McInerney'S fleetneSS afoot
and his knack of getting the
Jump" on the pitcher, makes
him one of the most feared play
ers in the league on the paths.
Jones takes care of right field
in an up-to-date fashion. More
than that he is the most depend
able hitter on the team.
The infield is probably the best
in the league At first base is
the reliable Mike Gass; Reds Nc
Menamin, scoops up the ground
erS around second base; Pete
English handles the shortStop
job, and HerShy Heschberger,
plays the hot corner in fine style.
GaSS, Classy Performer
Although Gass is not hitting
the ball as hard as he did last
year he still is the classiest first
sacker in the league. McMena-
min. when not playing with the
Hecht Co., cavorts for the St.
Mary'S Celtics. He is one of chief
reasons for the successful season
the HechtS are now enjoying.
He not only handles most of
the smashes that come his way,
but is one Of the best pivot men
on the Sandlots. His batting is
all that a manager can ask for.
He is hitting over 400.
GaSS took the managerial
reins over from his good friend,
Paul MeSSink, who resigned due
to business pressure, when the
team won three games and lost
two and proceeded to pilot it to
the first half crown.
HechtS play Palais Royal to-
morrow at II a. m. on the East
Ellipse.

cunning for big game Sunday.
They will take on Bob Barnett,

match over the Service club

In fact, the match will be one

The Burtons labored under Bar

(COnt. from First Sports Page)
well as toward the report Of a
qualified physician as to the ath-
lete'S physical qualifications for
the game to which he aSpireS.
Limiting Of the practice to four
days per week, with two hours at
each practice for baseball, 80 min
utes at each for football and
basketball and one hour for track,
is in keeping with the general
plan to prevent any, boy from
OVERRIDING sport during his princi-
pie growing years. Stunted
growth, athletic hearts and all
sorts of physical Set-backS can be
encountered by lack of control Of
the amount Of time a boy or girl
gives to sport.
Eligibility Code
Eligibility is thoroughly handled
in the new plan. The school prin-
cipals are to file the eligibility
lists with the head of the Depart
ment Of Health and Physical Edu-
cation, Mr.. Bayh, at the begin
ming Of each advisory period, and
while there may be protests from
such lists, Bayh is authorized to
abide by such lists except when
he believes the protests have
merit, in which cases he may, at
his discretion, refer them back to
the board of principals.
AS stated in the beginning, ma
ture thought has won many friends
for the new high school athletic
policy, whereas many were op-
posed to the Bayh plan when it
was originally announced some
six weeks ago.
The opinion now seems to be
that the experiment is well worth
trying. The plan is admitted to
have many salient features, and
those which are not found practi-
cal can be altered or eliminated
when such action seems fitting.
Its operation will be watched
with interest starting next month
and through sufficient period to
give all phases of the new high
school athletic deal q thorough
trial.
