Casting Concern
Told 10 Reinstate
165 With Back Paw
Also Ordered by N. l. R. B
To Bargain With
Auto Union
BY the Associated Press.


The National Labor Relations
Board yesterday ordered the Stewart
Die-Casting Corp. of Chicago to re-
instate with back pay 165 employees
who, the board held, were discrimi-
mated against because of a strike
which included 26-hour sit-down
demonstration.
Several months ago the Supreme
Court voided a board order for re-
instatement of sit-down strikers at
the Fansteel Corp. in Chicago and
declared sit-down strikes were lille
gal.
In announcing its order in the
Stewart case the board made no
reference to the Farnsteel decision,
but said the sit-down strike at the
Stewart corporation was devoid of
violence or destruction of prop
erty."
The board said the strikers at
no time were discharged, but that
the company Disseminated against
them in June, 1887, by refusing to
reinstate them and insisting on the
retention instead of strike breakers
hired during the strike to fill the
strikers jobs"
The boards order also directed
the corporation to bargain with
G. I. O.'s United Auto Workers
Union and reduce to signed agree
ment any understanding reached.
