NLRB Charge Filed Against 
Based On Company Union Passing Out Authoriza-
 tions In Plants

Claude Fairfield, Grand Lodge Representative of the Machinists Union, has filed charges of un- fair labor practises against the High Standard Manufacturing of this city, with the National Labor Relations Board, charges which are now being heard. The Company, according to the or ganizer, permitted the Mutual Benefit Society, which he says is a company union, to pass out authorizations to its employees in- side the plant.
 ssThe Machinists Union would be tickled to death," Fairfield said, ''to have our authorizations passed out i'm the shop during working hours, but only stOOge outfits get such privileges"
 SPIKES ELECTION
 Fairheld's prompt action spiked the possibility of phony representation the Company sought when i rushed the authorizations into the hands of the men.
 Fairfield stated that the Com-

Railroad Men Depart From Unfair Hotel
Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen
 Move Out in Two Hours

DENVER-A mass checkout from the Cosmopolitan Hotel by delegates to the 34th convention of the Brother hood of Locomotive Bremen & Enginemen was the sequel to a picket line When the brotherhood engaged the Cosmopolitan for the convention, officials were unaware of the hotels bad labor record.
 Within two hours, 70 of the dele gates left and the convention moved its headquarters to a suite in the U. s. National Bank Building.
 The picket line was established by the Hotel & Restaurant Employees International Alliance (AFL) after the hotel clinlaxed 4-year anti-union campaign by fatly refusing to nego- tiate.

Situation Is Similar To
 1915,HeSays
Administration Forces and Labor Oppose Any Plan
 To Freeze Wages

WASHINGTON - Immediate action to prevent the further in- crease of prices and rents asked of Congress by President RoOse- welt, is expected here.
 In his special message to Con- gress the President warned that the situation today is "frighten- ingly similar" to the closing months of 1915 when prices started shooting upward.
 ''Faced now with the prospect of inflationary price advances" the President told Congress, Legislative action can no longer prudently be postponed.
 s'Our national safety demands that we take steps at once to ex- tend, clarify, and strengthen the a authority of the government to act in the interest of the general welfare"
 NO WAGE FREEZING!
 Covered in the legislation to be in troduced, the President indicated, are prices and rents while authority for the government to purchase materials and commodities when necessary and to deal with the field of installment credit is also to be included.
 Wages were not included in the items listed by the President as need ing control and it was understood that administration forces in Congress, to- gether with the AFL and CIO, will oppose any such move.
 T recognize that the obligation not to seek an excessive profit from the defense emergency rests with equal force on labor and on industry and that both must assume their responsi- bilities if we are to avoid imitation, the Presidents message sad:
 The message noted that the Bureau of Labor Statistics index of 28 basic commodity prices, by the end of June, had advanced 30 per cent beyond its August, 1o3o, level and has increased 24 pc rcent since Jenuary of this year.
 MORE TO COME
 During the last quarter of this year, the President noted, the increase in the cost of living was greater than during any similar period since the World War and even yet the index does not fully reflect past increases.
 ssEconomic sacrifices there will be and we shall bear them cheer fully" the President said. ''But we are determined that the sacri- flee of one shall not be the profit of another"

Concentration Now Is On Right To Stke Not National
 Labor Relations Act; Halls Ford and Steel Victories

Anti-labor forces. which until a year ago had concentrated on attempts to emasculate the Wag- ner Act, have now turned their guns on labor's right to strike, the American Civil Liberties Union warns in its annual sum- mary. The summary is based On reports from the A.C.L.U.'s na- tional office and correspondents in 36 states.
 ''With public feeling aroused to demand maximum production by defense industries, intoler- ance of strikes has grOwn," the report said.
 .~ NUMEROUS BILLS
 As result, numerous bills to limit the right to strike have been intro duced in Congress, the A.C.L.U. said
 Favored among them is the pro- posa1 to establish cooling off period within which workers may not strike while the forces of mediation pre- sumably operate. The Union took g position like that of the labor move ment, which unanimously voiced its opposition to any legal restrictions or the right to strike. The so-callec Vinson and Ball bills, pending ir Congress, are opposed by the Union

Court decisions sustaining the right to picket, save in one case in which the court held that re- mote violence in a strike may justify the suppression even of all peaceful picketing. The Supreme Court of Oregon held void the anti-picketing law passed by the voters in 1888, and regarded as the severest of all state restrictions on labor's rights.

HAIL VICTORIES

Tn the 1041 state legislatures, bills aimed at labor's rights made little headway. Anti-sabotage bills |. 7. were passed In 10 states, in amended form in 4, and defeated in II up to June 1. Home guard bills were passed in very few states.
 Significant of advances in labor's rights were the abandonment of the public crusade against the NLRB and the success of trade unions in forcing recognition of collective bargaining in the last two great centers of re- sistance, the Ford Motor Co. and Bethlehem Steel"
 Although the survey was conn., piled too early to deal with the two biggest violations of labor's civil rights in the last year, the use of federal troops in the North American Aviation strike and the issuance of a work-or- fight order by draft officials. the A.C.L.U. has gone on record against both.

Fire at Benning Sweeps
Old Race Track Clubhouse

Fire swept the old Bennine race
track clubhouse at Barnes lane off
KenilWorth avenue NE. this after
noon, virtually destroying the ram
bling frame structure. famous at
the turn of the century but aban-
doned since April, 1908.
A few horses in adjacent stables
were threatened. but firemen kept
the blaze from spreading.
F. E. James, superintendent of
the grounds who was jockey at
the track in 1903, said the building
had been used as a residence until
two years ago, and has since stood
vacant. The track is still used about
five months year for training race
horses.
