Court Overrutes
N.Y.Lubor Board
As a. .F.ofL. Wins
Labor Board Has No Power
To Set Aside Union
Contracts

Albany, n. Y.-The Court of Ap-
peals ruled that the State Labor
Board lacked the power to set aside
union contract if industrial strife
thereby would be promoted.
The decision was made in the case
of the Triboro Coach Corporation Of
New York City. Local 11O4 of the
Amalgamated Association of Street,
Electric Railway and Motor Coach
Employees, A. F. L., was upheld as
bargaining agency for Triboro work
ers over the Transport Workers
Union, c. l. o.
The court overruled a Labor Board
finding in favor Of the T. w. U. and
supported a lower court decision. The
vote was to 8.
The dispute began in 1887 when the
C. l. o. affiliate sought to supplant
the Amalgamated as representative Of
the employees. Amalgamated had a
1886 contract which was renewable
each three years unless the parties
to it Cancelled it ninety days before it's
expiration. This contract became ef
fective when New York City granted
an operating franchise.
Three months before the expiration
date of the contract the T. w. U.
asked the State Labor Board to GER
tify it as the bargaining agency for
the Triboro workers.
Meanwhile the Amalgamated and
Triboro had made a new working
agreement, which majority Of the
employees ratified.
Subsequently the T. w. U. filed
charges with the Labor Board that in
refusing to negotiate with it Triboro
was engaging in unfair labor prac-
tices. In February, 1910, the board is
sued a complaint based on the
charges. 1t ruled that on or before
July II, 1889, Amalgamated and the
corporation had elected to terminate
the contract at the end of the then
current term.

Picnic. August 23rd
To Attract Local
Union ~ To Beach
Many Events and Prizes Are
Arranged To Make Big
Day For Potterc

Salem, Ohio.-The picnic date for
Local Union No. az and the Salem
China Welfare Club is drawing near.
We hope all employees and their fam
lilies will plan to attend this outing
at Craig's Beach, August %.
Committeeman Pete Sanders and
Bruce Cope have been building up
plenty of enthusiasm around the
shop, letting drop, at opportune mo-
ments, the many events and prizes
to take the potters' eye at the out
ing. We hope the gusto grows by
leaps and bounds and on picnic day
the park will be overfowing with
Salemites.
One of the outstanding events Of
the day will be the ball game be-
tween the clay shop and decorating
department. Each claims the other
doesn't have a ghost of chance to
win the $500 prize money and the
cup. AS you know the Welfare Club
donated this cup and it has been zig
tagging back and forth for num-
Der Of years. The lucky team this
year will get to keep the cup.
There is some argument regarding
the serving of the ice cream. For
years the committee has served free
ice cream at six o'clock, but now
some of the local members want
theirs at noon hour. We believe this
should be left to the committee to
straighten out and feel sure they will
do what they think best.
At the last regular meeting we had
some so members out to hear what
is to happen. You can be well as
sured the chairmen of the picnic
filled their ears There has been a
bus chartered to see that everyone
has transportation to the park.
There was very bad accident at
Craig's Beach last week when the
roller coaster failed to make the final
turn and jumped the track. Dolphus
Wooten was killed and three others
injured. The ride will not be availa

hope the tragedy of this accident

The farm laborer is a specialist
very difficult to replace not only be-
cause Of the many skills he must

Director of Selective Service, de.
clared Monday, of this week, in an
address to the state convention of the
Department of Iowa, American Le-
gion, held in Des Moines, Iowa.
For this reason, General Hershey
said, selective service local boards
have been instructed to be very care
full not to remove any needed farm
worker from the production of vitality
necessary food supplies. Notwith-
standing, he asserted, there is u
shortage Of such labor which is grow
ing because Of a flow of farm work
ers to expanding defense industries.
The fact that the farm laborer of to-
day uses machinery and must have
some skill in it's maintenance and re-
pair, he pointed out, makes transition
to factory work easy.
National defense preparation to-
day." General Hershey said, "is vast
ly different from those periods when
nation, as tribe, was defended al
most entirely by the men who carried
on under arms. 1t is a very compli-
Gated integrated process participated
in by industry, agriculture, scientific
professionally virtually every divi-
sion of modern economic, civic and
social activity.
"That is the challenge which con-
fronts selective service-to see to it
that in this new order of defense,
each citizen of the country, either by
the direct process of selection or the
indirect process of deferment, does
for his nation that which he can do
best"
The farm labor problem, the direc-
tor declared, is one of the most per-
picking of those confronting the Sc
lective service system in attempting
to provide, by deferment from mill
tary training, an adequate supply of
labor for industry and agriculture. He
said:

Aid To Russia Approved By
Executive Council In.
Chicago Session
NO TIES URGED
Soviet American Alliance
Held "Unthinkoble" By
Authorities

Chicago, Ill.-There is no present
justification for the sending of an
American expeditionary force to the
European war zone nor is it the in
tention Of the government to do SC,
the Executive Council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor declared at
its midsummer session here.
The 'ouncil termed an American
alliance with Soviet Russia "unthink-
able," but because Russia is now
fighting Nazi Germany, which con-
stitutes the chief threat to the safety
Of this country, the Council deemed
it expedient to extend "such assist
ance as we can" to the Russian forces.
The statement on foreign policy
highlighted the council meeting which
also brought forth important declara-
tions on many other pressing prob
lens. A summary of these follows:
Warning against the dangers of
initiation to the workers, the Council
approved the recommendations
President Roosevelt for legislation to
control advances in prices and the
cost Of living but it urged Congress
to hedge the grant of new powers
within clearly defined limits to pre-
vent complete Federal regulation of
industry.
2-Anticipating tragic depression
after the defense emergency unless
steps are taken now to forestall it,
the Council asked President Roose-
velt to name a committee on which
labor, industry, agriculture and the
government would be represented, to
draft program for the prompt ex-
pansion Of peace production to be put

ization by Congress of an immediate
600 million dollar defense housing
program to alleviate the Shocking
and intolerable" conditions under
which thousands of defense workers
are now forced to live.
In its statement on foreign policy,
the Council said in part:
"The Executive Council fears that
the change in the war picture may
give rise to a tendency among some
enthusiasts to clasp the hand Of So
Wet Russia as friend and ally in
the defense of democracy. Already

Wages Will Not Be Included
Within Scope Of
Legislation
DANGERS OUTLINED
Roosevelt Sounds Wdrning
Against Abnormal"
Increases

Washington, D. C.-Warning of the
danger of initiation, President Roose-
welt, in special message, asked Con-
gress for broad authority to establish
ceilings for prices and rents and to
curb eXcesses in the field of install
ment credit.
No form of control over wage rates
was suggested by the President who
resisted the pressure of reactionary
groups to freeze wage levels. He said
in his message:
"Of course there cannot be price
stability if labor costs rise abnor-
mally. Labor has far more to gain
from price stability than from abnor-
NAL wage increases. For these are
likely to be illusory and quickly over
taken by sharp rises in living costs,
which fall with particular hardship on
the least fortunate Of our workers and
our old people.
"There will always be need for
wage adjustments from time to time
to rectify inequitable situations. But
labor as a whole will fare best from
labor policy which recognizes that
wages in the defense industries should
not substantially exceed the prevail
ing wage rates in comparable monde
fense industries where fair labor poll
cies have been maintained.
81 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 response
bilities if we are to avoid imitation.
81 also recognize that we may ex-
pect the wholehearted and voluntary
cooperation of labor only when it has
been asrsred reasonable and stable
income in terms of the things money
will buy, and equal restraint or sacri
flee on the part of all others who par
ticipate in the defense program. This
means not only reasonable stabili
Szation of prices and the cost of living
but the effective taxation of excess
profits and purchasing power. In this
way alone can the nation be protected
from the evil consequences Of
chaotic struggle for gains which must
prove either illusory or unjust, and
which must lead to the disaster Of un-
checked imitation"
Mr.. Roosevelt made it plain that
he was asking only for the power to
establish price ceilings, not to fix or
freeze prices.

President Seeks Price Control Law
To Stop InfIafion Of Living Costs
War Seen Boost To
Union Label Goods
Famous Brdnd Ndmes To
Vdnish In Many Lines
Leaving Only Label

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-The
World War may give the union label
the biggest break it ever had.
The reason for this impending de-
velopment is found in forthcoming
shortages Of materials, supplies and
products.
Famous brand names seem almost
sure to disappear from the market in
many lines, leaving the union label as
the only mark to indicate quality and
character.
Priorities rulings and pooling Of
supplies appear almost at hand in
several lines.
Most striking example of what
seems due to happen is found in the
petroleum industry. Plans are being
perfected to pool all gasoline sup
plies, removing all brand names,
which have been built up at costs
running into millions of dollars. If
and when the pooling plan is adopted
the car driver will go to a pump
which simply sells gasoline, he will
ask for gasoline and he will get one
standard grade. The great names
that now attract motorists will all be
in the discard, for the duration.
Gasoline is cited as the example
because it is the most striking now
available and because there is no
union label on gasoline, although
there are hundreds of unionized serv-
ice stations under the AFofL banner.
Production is CIO.
But, what happens to gasoline will
happen in many other fields. Short
ages are just ahead in every line

to claim on the credit side of the
ledger.
On the other hand, he might
have some very black marks
against him. and he felt very
sorry about these for he knew
they would have to do with

sorry because of June. She was
such game. courageous little

And then he found himself
thinking of Sandra, thinking how
absurd she was, how dear she
was, and wondering what the
heck had possessed him TO fall
in love with her. OF all the
women he had known and liked
she was the very one he shouldn't

lionairess, too beautiful almost
to be true, essentially lovable but
almost completely devoid Of

You are a big damn liar" the
native said and spat.
But Ashley thought he looked
slightly disconnected. All the

terrified of aeroplanes. They
considered them supernatural in

words "a big damn liar" they

mined TO take full advantage of

fidence. They're coming for me,

Il do not believe you, the
guard said. but he was listening
TO the drone of the plane intently.
Ashley manoeuvred himself into
a position where he could just
see through the window, and as
once again the silver plane cir
cled overheard he heard himself
shout. He shouted with excite
ment. with JOY, with incredible,
unbelievable relief. For it was
Peters plane! Trapped and help
less, he was cheered by the sud
den hope of rescue.
There they are!" he shouted
He had no idea how they had
located him. The fact remained
they had come.
The guard came cautiously
over and peered up through the
window. Certainly it was
plane. Certainly the plane was
circling over the house. And
most certainly Ashley had told
him that his friends were COM
ing by plane to rescue him with
machine guns, AS he stood there
hesitating, he saw someone lean
out and wave bright scarf.

Found the Mysterious Cave Of the
Navajo Gods

HE Navajo Indians, in
Arizona, have a legend that
j has been handed down for
centuries wherein their tribal
"Yei," who are divine persons or
gcnu that help mankind in all its
cndeavors. met in a certain cave
or shrine, where they left paint
ings of themselves and their
many mystic ceremonial symbols
and characters TO guide the
Navajos IN their ritual of worship.
The basis for this legend was
recently discovered by DR.. Will
lam a Gardner of Columbia Uni
versity in New York City. when
he led a group of explorers into
he region near Rough Rock on
She Navajo Reservation. where
they found a huge grotto con-
tanning sacred paintings and
many of the symbols and char
acters mentioned for centuries in
tribal legend.
a giant mural. some 200 feet
in length and six feet in height,
painted in red. green. yellow,
brown. blue and black, and de-
picting many Of the Navajo cere-
monial symbols and faces Of the
"Yei Z" vas found IN a good
state of preservation. There were
also four clay images. evidently
a reproduction of the "Yei'L in
human form. In front of these
figures, the explorers found what
were apparently offerings of tur-
quoise, corn and corn pollen,
indicating that the cave had been
used as a ceremonial chamber.
Whether the Navajos them
selves. actually knew that such
a shrine existed outside the
legend, is impossible TO find out.
When queried by white men on
the subject. they merely grunt
and steadfastly refuse TO talk.
Just what the significance of the
shrine is, remains a mystery.
though it is known that the Hopi
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-11-30

and Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico have similar shrines that
serve purpose in tribal life CO.
NEEDING with the white mans
fraternal organizations Only
those who have reached a certain
elevated station in the cere-
monial clans are initiated into
the higher order that is per-
mitted to enter into the Shrine
of the Gods. and taught the full
significance of the tribal rituals
and mystic symbols.
Though the Navajos have never
been considered an especially
religious tribe, all their cere-
monies and chants are permeated
with a belief in the legendary
gods, such as the House God, the
Talking God. the Water Sprinkler.
Fire God and Corn God. Their
rugs and famous sand paintings
are especially significant in their
svmO olic designs, and up TO a
certain point usually follow their
century old legends. They are
always square or oblong. indicat-
ing the four quarters of the globe,
the four seasons and the four
winds.
The colors used, which may
have some bearing on the numer-
Gus colors in the Mural found by
Or. Gardner, also have a definite
meaning in Navajo lore. red al
ways symbolizing the male and
black the female of all creation.
According to one Navajo legend
Of the Creation, the first world
was red, the second blue, the
third yellow and the fourth black
and white spotted.
In the Navajo's ceremonies.
their legendary gods and "Yei"
are always represented, though
the men taking these parts are
masked, as the "Yei" have never
been depicted in painting or sym
bols as having man-like faces. A
curious feature Of all the Navajo
designs, whether in paintings or
/ in blankets is that they are al
ways geometrical with the body
outlined as man and the head
having only three lines, two for
the eyes and one for the mouth,
with nothing to indicate a nose.
One other white man. Toney
Richardson, son of an old Indian
Trader, claims to have visited a
Navajo Cave of the Gods, which
he says was all of a hundred
miles from the one discovered by
DR.. Gardner. 1t was guarded by
several old men who allowed him
to go inside, exacting no promise
of secrecy. saying that no one
would believe what he would see.
Though Toney is reluctant to
divulge any information of what
he did see, he says the place is
incredible.
