Dunno Brothers Get Smashing Setback
AS Minnesota Labor Board Denies
CIO Certification to Drivers Union
State Labor Board Cracks Down. Shakes Grip of Dunno
Brothers Truck Drivers UnOn-Dunnes in Hot
Water, Indicted by Federal Grand Jury July Is.

Brown, then president, was shot to
death. An organizer was acquitted
of the crime and the Dunnes paid for
his defense. Miles Dunno then became
president of the union.
Dunnes Act After Probe
Last winter Daniel j. Tobin, presi-
dent of the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, started an investigation
of the Minneapolis union to discover
whether Communists had been using
it for their own ends. When the in
vestigation was nearing a climax the
Dunnes withdrew.
They told the membership the switch
had been sought by A. D. Lewis,
brother of John l.. Lewis.

Minneapolis (ILNS). - The Dunno
brothers, Miles and Vincent, radical
bosses of a big C. /. O. truck drivers
union here, have met with a smashing
setback.
The State Labor Board has denied
certifcation of the union as bargain
ing agent for 800 truck drivers and
inside workers employed by Ia Min
neapolis furniture stores. The ruling
is seen as shaking the grip of the
Dunno brothers on the General Driv-
ers' Union, which they took out of the
International Brotherhood of Team
sters, A. F. of L. affiliate, on June g.,
to enter the CLIO. Six thousand
members followed the Dunnes.
Dunnes Under Indictment
water, as they were indicted with &c
others by federal grand jury on
July Is on charges of seditious con-
spiracy. A majority of those named
were members of the union. All of
the defendants are officers or mem
bers of the Socialist Workers party,
the Trotsky wing of the Communist
movement. They were accused of
having advocated INSTRUMENTATION and
the overthrow of the federal govern
ment by armed revolt. The indict-
ments followed raid by federal
agents on the Minneapolis and St.
Paul headquarters of the organization.
Soon after the Dunno brothers took
the drivers out of the A. F. of L.,
those employed by the furniture stores
were ordered to strike, and the strike
was called two days after the Gen
eral Drivers Union entered the C. l. o.
The men were out three days and re-
turned to work when the G. |. O. asked
an election. The furniture dealers re-
fused to bargain with them on the
ground that they did not know who
represented their employees.
Strike Held Illegal
In the order denying bargaining GER
tification, Alfred P. Blair, state labor
conciliator, charged the c. |. 0. was
guilty of unfair labor practices and
that the strike was illegal and without
the required thirty day waiting pc
riod He added that the switch from
the A. F. of L. to the C. |. O. invali-
dated the original strike notice.
The Dunnes controlled the Min
neapolis drivers for more than ten
years, during which time, it is al
legged, the union resorted to acts of
terrorism. Two years ago William S.

Chicago (ILNS). = Problems relat-
ing to the national defense program
were the chief business before the
Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor as the council
began it's regular summer session at
the Drake Hotel here.
President William Green, opening
the session, reported on the progress
of the defense program, the report
being based on information received
from the War and Navy Departments
and the Office of Production Manage
ment.
NO-Strike Policy Effective
The records show that the no-strike
policy of the A. F. of L. has been
more than SO per cent effective and
that the A. F. of L. unions have been
of great help to the government in
providing full supply of skilled and
unskilled labor on all defense projects.
One of the first actions of the coun-
Gil was to recommend that President
Roosevelt refuse to reappoint Edwin
S. Smith as member of the National
Labor Relations Board. His term of
office expires August 27.
Among subjects before the council
were:
1. Defense unemployment - Short
age of materials due to the applica-
ton of priorities has closed some
plants and has threatened to put
others out of business. Drafting of
a program to keep such factories in
production either by the use of sub
stitute materials or by other means
was on the councils schedule. If
means cannot be devised to cope with
the situation, hundreds of thousands
of workers in non-defense industries
may lose their jobs.
Price Danger Seen
2. Infation-Price control legisla-
tlon recommended by PRESIDENT RooSe-
welt is up for consideration. Higher
living costs are equivalent to pay cuts
for the workers. The Presidents warn
ing against abnormal wage increases
as related to rising prices is also due
for consideration.
8. Foreign policy-The A. F. of l.
has supported the Presidents foreign
policy to the fullest. Entire subject
scheduled for canvassing in the light
of new events and new threats to
American safety.
a. Legislation-The defeat in Con-
gress of all anti-labor and anti-strike
bills is naturally gratifying to the
A. F. of L. Bills still pending which
affect labor are due to be considered
Housing Situation Studied
5. Defense housing Shocking

sands of defense workers must be
remedied promptly. The council will
urge Congress to appropriate addi-
tional funds to construct decent homes
for such workers, President Green
said
Drafting of the councils annual re-
port to the next A. F. of L. conven-
ton, opening at Seattle on October 6,
was also on the program.
The councils meeting was the first
held in Chicago in many years and
was held here to join in celebration
of the fftieth anniversary of the
founding of the first local union of
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners in this city.
Smith Called Unfit
In declaring against the reappoint-
ment of Edwin S. Smith to the NLRB,
the council said it had made thor
ough investigation of his record and
"finds he is unfit to remain in office"
The council asserted that Smith had
"espoused interpretations of the labor
act which were distinctly hostile
to the A. F. of L." and had become "an
active crusader for the C. /. O."
"The record shows" the council
said, "that Mr. Smith has been largely
responsible for the bias, unfairness
and prejudice which until recently
have characterized many of the labor
boards decisions and permeated its
administrative setup."
"In view of his record, the Execu-
tive Council is fully confident that the
President of the United States will
refuse to reappoint Edwin S. Smith
and will name a qualified man of ju-
dicial temperament to succeed him"

Estimates have been furnished the
House District Committee by John
A. Marshall, executive offcer OF the
local Unemployment Compensation
Board, that approval Of the bill be-
fore its Judiciary Subcommittee
would save employers here about
So 900 900 q year in pay roll taxes.
1t would set up a sliding scale OF
rates which would keep them at a
level four times in excess of the
amount paid out in benefit claims,
but would never 60 beyond the pres
ent 81 maximum or lower than the
proposed one-half Of per cent
level.
The bill before the Judiciary Sub
committee would supersede the
Celler bill, should the former be
enacted into law first, in so far as 1t
applies to local employers. How
ever, If the local bill is not enacted
into law and the Celler bill is, the
pay roll tax OF District employers
would drop from 2.7 to 2 per cent.
When Representative Celler intro
duced his bill, he issued lengthy
mimeographed statement in which
he said, in part:
"A study of the laws operation
convinces me that the present rate
is too high. 1t should be reduced at
once.
1T also is quite clear that benefits
paid unemployed workers are too
low in many States and the period
covered by such statements often
Is too short. In my judgment, these
payments should be increased one
third. That, however, is up to the
States themselves. If higher pay

Manager Bill McKechnie OF the
Reds, who evidently had been riding
him. All three umpires rushed up
to end this debate and Coach Jewel
Ems hurried over to support his
manager, but Allen was ordered
back to the mound.
Neither team was able to score in
the first three innings, although
both had chances. In the first
frame Herman singled and Camilli
walked for Brooklyn without result
and after they had been set down In
order in the second, they loaded the
bases In the third on three short
singles by Walker, Herman and
Reiser, but Camilli famed and Riggs
popped to Joost to end the threat.
The Reds were retired in success
sion in the first two stanzas, but in
the third Benny Zientara singled,
was safe at second on an attempted
steal when Herman dropped Owens
throw, and reached third on an in
field out. But Joost grounded out
to end the inning.
The two clubs battled through
three more scoreless frames as Allen
and Derringer pitched superbly. The
Dodgers placed one man on base in
each inning-a single by Medwick,
T. walk for Reiser and q single by
Reese, In that order, but each was
left stranded.
Allen walked werber in the
fourth, after the game had been in
terrupted by arguments, but In the
