Bearing on CIO-AFL

Cincinnati June 28.-(AP)- In
one of the first high court decisions
bearing on AFL-CIO strife, the sixth
United States Circuit Court of Ap-

National Labor Relations Board or

mine the bargaining agent for 5000
employees of the Consumers Power
Company, of Jackson, Mich.
The case came before the court on
a petition of the International Broth

shoot of an NLRB cease and desist
order issued against Consumers
Power as a result of alleged viola

The board held an election at the

committee (CIO) received 1,16O
votes, the brotherhood 1,O2, but SOC
workers wanted neither union.
The NLRB granted the UWOC re-

Toll roads? It's quite generally

of traffic But way out west, where
traffic is skimpy? If the western
roads prove to be losers the eastern
ones will have to bear their share
Of the loss. On an average, will there
be any margin of profit?
Would-be farmers, who want to
buy farms? Some of them, thrifty
chaps, will do well, but others will
go broke. How will they average up?
Localities that want to build court
houses and city halls? These edifices
are nice to have, but they're not di-

Cooper Gets
First Pledge
From Labor
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, June 28.-Predictions that
Tom Cooper will have the full
strength of organized labor behind
him in his campaign for governor
have been strengthened by action
Of Representatives of all lodges Of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
in endorsing formally the candidacy
of Wilmington's vigorous mayor.
Mayor Cooper got the endorsement
in the form of a special resolution,
with appropriate "whereases" and
"be it resolved's" passed unanimous
ly by representatives of all the
lodges of the brotherhood assembled
at the organization International
Convention at Cleveland, Ohio.
The resolution pictured Cooper as
Friend No. l of organized labor in
North Carolina, congratulated him on
his "fair an dliberal actions in behalf
of labor legislation. 1t closed by
"advising him of such action and
wishing him success in the carl-
paign."
The resolutions adoption is i'm
pOrtant in itself, but even more i'm
portant in the logical deduction that
it is only the forerunner of similar
endorsement by other union forces,
to which, incidentally, copies of the
resolution were sent.
Another boost for Cooper stock in
labor circles is the recent settlement
of the truck drivers strike which
plagued Wilmington for some eight
months, settlement which was in
its essence a complete labor victory.
The Wilmington mayor, if he doesn't
get the enthusiastic support Of those
drivers and all union units allied
with them, would certainly have a
right to charge gross ingratitude.
Important, too, in connection with
the brOtherhood's endorsement is the
