Columbus (OLNS)-Plans for a
series of labor Institutes for the pur-
pose of explaining the benefits of the
social security program to the worker
are being made by the Columbus Fed
Grafton of Labor in cooperation with
Dewitt Huffman, educational director

CIO Flags Davey
In Federal Court

Columbus (OLNS)-Federal Judge
Nell G. Underwood last week reserved
until August his decision on plan
by CIO attorneys for an immediate
decision on the requested injunction
restraining the Ohio National Guard
and local law enforcement agencies
in the Mahoning valley from alleged
interference with the constitutional
rights Of CIO steel strikers.
Judge Underwood announced that
he would rule at the later date on
a number of motions made during the
offering of testimony on the CLOS
plea for the injunction. His decision
on that point came at the close of
testimony by witnesses placed on the
stand by the CIO.
In his closing arguments before the
court, Edward Lamb, co-counsel with
Darlington T. Marshall for the CIO,
bitterly denounced the action of Gov
ernor Martin L. Davey in using state
militia to protect workers desiring
to return to their jobs instead of
maintaining the status quo for
which purpose the state troops were
originally called out

of petitions by the International Sea-
mems Union, affiliated with the AM
erican Federation of Labor. A hear
ing in the case was held in New York
city on June Il before Trial Exam
iner Robert NJ. Gates. At that time
testimony was presented both by
I.S.U. and by the National Maritime
Union, an Independent labor organi-
zation formed on May s, 1887, and
unaffiliated with any other labor or
ganizations.
Both unions entered claims to a
majority of the unlicensed personnel
employed by the companies Most of
the companies, through their repre-
sentatives at the hearing, admitted
the existence of a controversy be-
tween these two unions, and expressed
desire that the board resolve it by
holding elections.
I.SU. and NM.U. each have con-
tracts with various companies includ-
ed in this case. BY filing petitions
the board believes I.S.U. has waived
it's rights to assert the existence of
these contracts as a bar to elections.
Similarly the filing of petitions by
N. NJ. U. in the cases of international
Mercantile Marine, Luckenbach
Steamship Company, Inc, and Black
Diamond Steamship Corporation, pre-
cludes any assertion of rights under
contracts which it has made with any
of these companies.
