CARE OF PROBLEM
Principal differences between
the management and the Go
continued today to center around
the IL workers. The CLIO said
again the workers should be re-
hired and the plant re-opened,
while the company wants the
plant re-opened pending q deci-
sion from the NLRB on the IL
cases.
Scholle issued the following
statement, dated Tuesday, May 6:
---aaT o day the 'indeDeAAeat'
company union Pottery Workers
Cooperative was supposedly de-
signated q the majority union
for the employees at the Mount
Clemens Pottery company by
the company.
Amazing - Il may seem, the
CIO has never heard Of the tri-
bunal which certified this group.
We know that the laws covering
labor disputes Of this kind are
contained In the National Labor
Relations Act.
I'VE publicly make the follow
Ing proposal: We will submit our
membership cards to . repre-
sentative Of the National Labor
Relations Board to prove our
majority status II. the company
will agree 70 abide BY the Ma
donal Labor Relations Act and
recognize the federal authority
Of this check Of cards by dealing
exclusively with the Clio II we
have proven our majority.
I'VE can only recognise one
government-the government Of
the United States Of America,
the constitution Of the United
States Of America and the laws
Of this nation. We cannot rec
ognise IN Invisible government
established BY the 3. 8. Kresge
Company.
.."This amazing company sets
mp it, own laws; it,. own. Ma
tional Labor; b Relations Act
Board, it. own arbitrator; its
own union; negotiates with itself
through its company union; and
reports progress. In every turn,
the company \ cenStnntly Vie
lating the law They have
thumbsd their Noses at TIE Ma
tional Labor Relations Act, the
Wage and Herr bill, and now
they are engaged In further out
right violations Of this Act BY
staging IN act for the benefit Of
the public and attempting to
lead people to believe that they
are engaged In real collective
bargaining.
again, we reiterate, the com.
pany's decision that the Pottery

I'VE again state our proposals.
for settlement Of the dispute:
Reinstatement Of the twelve
discharged employees and recog-
milton Of bargaining committees
to discuss working conditions
and wages which come under the
category Of grievances.

sents the majority Of the Mt

ANY attempt Of the company
to reopen the plant through q
