1T does seem that there is an

Messrs. Green, Frey and their

Then the doughty CIO chief

three years ago, came to the point
of his projected resignation.
There may be virtue behind
the demand that I personally
retire from official participation

HIGHEST COURT
NEAR DECISIONS
ON LABOR ACTS.
Several NLRB Cases to-
Be Passed Upon
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

sions. which may have an impor'
tant effect upon Administration OF
the national labor relations act,
loomed today as the court mapped
its work for the year.
The way was paved for deci-
sions in bitterly-fought labor act
controversies when the court, in
its cleanup decision period yes,
terday. granted writs Of review.
VITAL QUESTIONS
Questions which confront the
court include:
/. Can the NLRB, after go
ing into a circuit court for en-
forcement Of an unfair labor
practice order, withdraw its pc
tition and reopen the case? Is
sue involved in appeal Of Ford
Motor Company.
2. Can q corporation be cited
for failure to bargain collectively
with it's employees, after they
have gone on strike, in violation
Of an agreement? Issue raised
in case of Columbia Enameling
and Stamping Company, Terre
Haute, Ind.
EDISON CASE NEAR
3. Can a corporation be held
In violation of the Wagner
labor act when, after collective
bargaining has reached an i'm
passe, it refuses to resume nego-
tiationS? Issues raised in case OF
Sands Manufacturing Company,
Cleveland.
In addition the court soon will
hear arguments in the appeal of
the Consolidated Edison Company
Of New York, and the Internation-
al Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers, an AFL union.
FORD VICTOR
This case not only involves the
question of whether the giant New
York utility. which claims to be
q local concern, is subject to the
Wagner act, but also whether the
labor board could order it to break
Q collective bargaining contract
with TIE AFL unions.
The Ford Motor Company
which was cited by the labor
board for alleged suppression Of
unionism, won a technical victory
when the court accepted its ap-
peal. The case now will be az
gued.
The company contends that the
board. having filed a certified
transcript in the circuit court OF
appeals and having asked the
court TO enfo'Le its order, cannot
Withdraw W it ana reopen the whole
case.
OUTGROWTH OF STRIKE
The Columbian Enameling case
was the outgrowth of bitter
strike. The company had made
an agreement, before the labor act
became effective, which provided
that employees would not strike.
In holding that the company
did not violate the Wagner act by
refusing to bargain with employees,
sthe Seventh Circuit court in
Chicago warned that labor unions.
as we'll as employers, must keep
their agreements.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-11

these relate to Ayrshires. The only major change in rules for 1898 is the basis for computing points for production, making such credits more equitable in relation to those for conformation. The Derby has been scheduled 50 that competing animals may also show in the Ex- position open classes.
 Cash prizes have been increased this year through cooperation of the Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hampshire Ayrshire clubs, and sil- yer trophies have been offered by Arthur H. Sagendorph's Alta Crest Farms of Spencer: J. w. Alsop's Wood Ford Farms of Avon, Conn: Robert l..

The Lippitt Farm trophy will be awarded to the COW four years old and over scoring the high est credit points; the Wood Ford trophy to the three year old heifer scoring highest credit points, and the Fillmore Farms trophy to the two year old heifer scoring the highest credit points.
 A special $50 cash prize and the Cornell Green trophy will go to the COW scoring highest credit points mixed and fed by her owner. and special cash prizes of $2S each are offered on a like basis to Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hamp- shire cows mixed and fed by the owners.
 All animals will be judged and scored for conformation Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 2l by William Greenshields of Bonneville, P. e., official Ayrshire judge of the Ex- position, and winners will be an- nounced and prizes awarded Thurs day afternoon, Sept. 22. Weighing of milk and testing for butterfat will be supervised by licensed test ters from one or more New Eng land states and will be made in &C., cordance with the Ayrshire Breed CTS Association rules for testing.
 Entries will close Monday, Aug. IS, with w. A. Kyle, secretary New England Ayrshire Breeders Assocja- ton. Brandon. vt., and all entries must be recorded in the name of the exhibitor in the herd book of the Ayrshire Breeders association or the Canadian Ayrshire Breeders Association.
