Ford Company Calls
Examiners Thug
Charge Unsupported
Claim of Labor Board
OffieioI Held 'UnjudieioI
And InfIommotory'

By the Associated Press.
The Ford Motor Co., accused by
Labor Board trial examiner Of
using thugs" to discourage unioni-
zation of its employees at Dallas, Tex,
retorted today that the Il, rye was
"inf1ammatory" and unsupported by
evidence.
The company filed formal excep-
tions with the board to the exam
iner's intermediate report. which
had recommended that the Dallas
Ford plant reinstate two employees
and that the company post notices
in all of its plants that workers were
free to join any labor organization.
1t was not granted full and fair
hearing" the company said, during
the month the boards agent con-
Quoted a hearing in Dallas on al.
legations that so-called strong
arm squad had beaten union or
ganizers.
Lack of Evidence Claimed.
A finding by the examiner that
the company had gathered at the
Dallas plant the most brutal, VIC
ious and conscienceless thugs in its
employ" the company asserted, was
unsupported by any avidence that
the alleged acts of vivolence were
committed by the authority and
direction of the company. Ford
counsel said the charge was pat
emily argumentative, unjudicial and
inf1ammatory and designed to fur
nish material for reproduction in the
press"
The examiners conclusion that
acts Of hostility toward the c. .O.'s
Auto Workers Union were instigated
by the company, it continued, was
erroneous.
The company took particular ex-
ception to the examiners recon-
menoation that it post notices in
all its plants throughout the United
States that Ford workers were free
to join any labor organization.
Called Unauthorized by Act.
The company called such a rec
ommendation inappropriate and
not authorized by the W .er)
act
The boards examiner failed to
take into consideration in reporting
his findings, Ford counsel said,
that its employees had compelling
grounds for engaging in extraordi-
nary acts of hostility to labor organ
izations affiliated with the c. 20"
The Ford reply also contended
that the examiner failed to consider
that the Dallas Ford workers had a
general feeling of antagonism"
toward the c. I. O., and that he also
neglected to consider that the Dallas
employees reasonably believed they
could obtain the best possible wages
and working conditions without the
intervention of an outside union.

with fire in dorlnitory of the
National Training School for Girls
on April 20 entered pleas of guilty in
District Court today, but an investi-
cation was ordered to see if a valid
defense to the charge exists.
Justice F.. Dickinson Let's, after
hearing the pleas of Martina l..
Quigley and Esther M. Wheeler, ap-
pointed Attorney George C. Hayes
to inquire into the circumstances,
with the possibility that if a good
defense is seen the two girls may
be permitted to change their pleas
and have jury trial.
The two girls were inmates of the
dormitory on Conduit road NV,
near the District line, when it was
fired, causing damage estimated at
$500 and endangering the lives of
about 40 other persons there.
Juvenile Court has officially re-
linquished jurisdiction over these
cases, but retained custody of an
other accused. Assistant United
States Attorney Cecil R. Heflin,
handling the case for the Govern
ment, pointed out to the court that
the two girls are not eligible for
probation reference, inasmuch as
arson is one Of the offenses specifi-
cally named in the probation law
as not permitting probation.
However, Justice Let's instructed
the probation officer, Joseph Y.
Reeves, to make an independent
investigation Of the case. The COM
plainant is Director of Public Wei
fare Robert E. Bondy.
