-RKE IN ALL GENERAL ELECTRIC PLANTS THREATENED
Wagner Labor Ruling
Called Death to Sits

Roberts switched to the liberal
members Of the court and thereby
upheld constitutionality Of the act,
as q reason why he believes the
Presidents judiciary plan should
be enacted.
''Varlable as the Winds"
Lewis said:
"The quibblerS Of ancient
Greco were intellectual sluggards
Is compared with our Supreme
Court. Apparently the destiny
Of our republic and the well
being Of its population depend
upon the legalistic whims and
capriceS Of one man. Yester.
day the Guffey sterilization act
was struck down. Today the
Wagner labor relations act is
sustained. If today the court
Is right, then yesterday, fOrsOOth,
the court was wrong.
"The court Is as variable as
the winds, and the people wonder
how long they are to be the vic.
Tins Of its instability. Obviously
the situation needs change. The
Presidents court plan is the i'm.
mediate answer"
FORD STAND HELD ILLEGAL
Members of the board were
frank to say they believed that
Henry Ford, in his recent adamant
stand against recognition Of and
bargaining with labor unions, was
now on illegal ground.
Commented Donald Wakefield
Smith, board member:
ut would appear from his re-
cent remarks anent dealing with
unions that Mr.. Ford has taken
an unlawful position"

FORD ORDERS
POWER UNITS

for comment on the U. s. Su-
preme Court upholding the Wag-
ner national labor relations act
and Ford officials also were
silent.
They believed his action in plac-
ing orders for new machinery was
a mute reply to the Wagner act
decision. Ford has said he would
never recognize the United Auto
mobile Workers Union nor any
other union.
With increased wages, produc-
ton and competition, Ford hopes
to remove an incentive for union
ization for his workers and the
necessity Of recognizing collective
bargaining under the Wagner act.
He prefers, he has said. to deal
directly with his men. With the
Wagner act upheld. however, Off
Gals Of the u. A. w. said the drive
for members among Ford workers
would be increased.
First Step in Drive
Ford announced Saturday at
Ways, Ga, that he would meet
all union threats by wages, COM
petition and production such as
never seen before" as soon as the
strikes in the industry subside.
Apparently. his orders for new
equipment were the first step in
his campaign. The order for the
1000, 900 turbo-generator was let
to the General Electric Company,
it was said. The generator, one
Of the largest of its kind, will
produce about 100000 horsepower
and weigh about 100000 pounds.
It will bring total capacity of the
Rouge plant to about $4,000 kilo-
watts an hour, it was said.
Ford, it was reported, talked per
sonally with Gerard Swope, preSi-
dent Of the General Electric Com
pany, in placing the order. Ford
also ordered a new high-pressure
boiler unit from the Combustion
Engineering Company Of Network
which, it was declared, will have
a capacity Of 100000 pounds of
steam an hour.

HERSHEY, Pa, April 10
U.N.S0. - With settlement

Board. If the United Chocolate

will be entitled to participate, as
will all those laid off between
March IL and April /.
The strikers were expected to re-
turn. to work today. The strike,
first in the nation to be settled
after the Supreme Court held the
Wagner Labor Act constitutional,
was discontinued Immediately and
the new terms are to be effective
for six months.
The agreement provides for 40
hour week Of five days, the men
to get a minimum wage Of so cents
per hour and the women As cents
per hour. During the period of
the agreement there is to be no

HOUSE FIRM
ON S|T-STRIKE
CENSURE
international News Service

The Supreme Court decision up
holding the Wagner labor relations
act found the House today appar.
emily unconVinced it should not go
ahead and adopt the Senate-ap-
r~oved resolution declaring a pol
icy against sit-down strikes.
Although several House mem
bers, commenting on the courts
decision, declared it had removed
"the cause of sit-down strikes" the
House Committee on Labor con-
vened today prepared to report
the resolution favorably.
Speaker Bankhead joined with
Representative ConneTy CD Of
Massachusetts,, labor committee
chairman and co-author Of the dis
puted Wagner act, in predicting
the House would adopt the Senate
measure. The resolution con.
dennis both sit-down strikes and
industrial use of espionage and
company unions.
CenSure Of Industry
Connery, however, said there
was a possibility his committee, or
perhaps the House later, would
amend the language Of the meas
ure to strengthen the section as
sailing industry. He said:
'Tn view Of the courts de-
cisiOn uphOlding the Labor Rela-
lions Act, it is obvious that in
dustry has been unwilling to
obey a law that was clearly con-
stitutiOnal.

language to cenSure industry
more severely for failing to obey

Dies Still Determined
Representative Dies CD Of
Texas, ardent foe of the sit-down
technique, said the decision had
Undoubtedly removed any reason
for sit-down strikes" adding how
ever. that he thought the Senate
resolution IAN idle gesture that
makes Congress look ridiculous. 4"
Dies said he had not relented in
his desire to obtain Federal legis-
lation outlawing sit-downs. He
said he expected hearings to start
soon before the judiciary commit.
tee on his bill to amend the anti.
trust laws to make sit-down strikes

merce and punishable to Federal
penalties.

BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

A revitalized National Labor Re
lations Board today swung with
new vigor into the task Of exacting
from industry thorough comph-
ance with the Wagner labor act.
Cheered by the sweeping sup
port accorded the act by the Su-
preme Court, board members pre-
dicted a new era Of peaceful rela-
tons between worker and boss.
And labor leaders hailed the court
decisions as the end Of company
unions. Moreover, labor board
members believed valuation Of the
Wagner act sounded the death
knell Of the sit-down strike.
Labor Leaders Differ
Chiefs Of the two rival labor
unions-William Green, president
of the American Federation Of
Labor, and John L. Lewis, head Of
the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization - differed in their
views on the courts action.
While Green said labor every
where will welcome the decisions
with feeling Of approval and genu.
inc satisfaction" Lewis lambasted
the court.
He cited the five-tofour deci-
sions in four Of the five labor
cases, in which Associate Justice

had conferred with President
Roosevelt on the subject Of limit

that Congress could adjourn be-

TRY THIS WAY TO
QUICKLY Relieve
ECZEMA ITCHING

If your skin is broken out with
"fery" or weeping" eczema, you
want to relieve the intolerable itch
ing and burning as quickly as pos
sible. Resinol Ointment does this
and also combats the irritation
caused by eczema-its oily base be-
ing ideal for penetrating the outer
layers Of the skin and securing
deeper action.
Wash the affected parts with
warm water and Resinol Soap. It
is especially suited to tender skin
soaps containing too much alkali
may irritate. After washing OFF
scales and crusts, pat dry with q
soft cloth. Do not rub.
Apply q thin layer Of ResinoI
Ointment, letting it remain for sew
eral hours. Apply again literally at
bedtime leaving on all night. The
longer Resinol is in contact with
the skin, the more good it does.
Buy Resinol Soap and Ointment
in any drug store. Sample frOa.

refused fatty to consider the dele
cations wage demands, and no
date was set for further discus
sionS.
Up to Employees
A spokesman for the employees
committee said:
There is nothing further to
discuss. Mr.. Burrows has had
his say and we have had ours.
It Is now up to the rank and file
of employees to take whatever
action they wish"
The committee then issued the
following statement:
"Tn view Of Mr.. Burrows an
Swer to the delegates that he had
checked with plant managers
and that they informed him that
conditions had not changed to
warrant . flat increase at this
time, and that employees gem
orally were at present satisfied,
we recommend to our local mem
berShipS that IL they are still dis
satisfied it is up to them to
register q protest in q convinc-
ing manner to prove to the man
agement that dissatisfaction
does collectively exist"
Strike Vote Hinted
Pressed for a statement, a union
spokesman told International
News Service:
at appears to me the term

strike vote might be taken

refuse to meet its demands"
The increased demanded would
boost G. E. payrools $13,000,000 q
year above pay raises, totaling
100000 annually, recently
granted.
Before the committees state
ment was issued, Burrows told re-
porterS:
II think that this demand
will be arbitrated. since It should
be more or less obvious the COM
pany cannot contemplate grant
ing pay increases tOtaling $780,
100000 in y single year."
