New York, N. Y.-To give the 49,
500 members of Local 3 Of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers an opportunity to register
their views on his administration of
the unions affairs, Harry Van Ars-
dale, Jr., resigned as business man
ager and announced that he would be
candidate for reelection at the
unions regular election June 20, even
though his original term was not
scheduled to expire until June, 1912.
At the insistence Of 1000 electri-
clans who attended a membership
meeting at Manhattan Center, Mr..
Van Arsdale agreed that his resig-
nation was not to become effective un-
til the new officers were installed
early next month. He said he expected
the election to provide reply to the
antitrust division Of the Department
of Justice, the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association and other
critics Of the unions policies.

would 'live to see the day when the

addressing Local 21354 Of the Insur-

The National Labor Relations Act

Morrison, but he added, "Unfortunate-
ly, the President picked out three men
who have so far failed on many oc-
casions to render decision in accord
with the intents and purposes of the
law" He was referring to the present
of the NLRE.
