Expedition Captain
 Brings Ship Here

The U. s. $. Boxer, of the Blu reau of Indian Affairs, spent part of the week unloading SUD- plies at Erskines dock for feder- al schools on the island. The boat usually delivers at ports a round the island, but due to trouble with auxiliary en- zines the supplies will be distri- buted this year from Kodiak.
 Capt. E. L. Bush IS complet- ing his 47th trip on the Boxer, each trip averaging over 5000 miles. The boat this year loaded materials at Dutch Harbor and took them to Nome, loaded there again and returned to Bris- tel bay, and then picked up their last load for the trip south.
 From Kodiak the Boxer goes to Cordova and Juneau and vii have made over $500 miles when 1t gets to Seattle.
 Just before Captain Bush brought the Boxer north this spring he had completed a 25, 000-mile trip in 5 months and 10 days with the Admiral Byrd expedition to Little America.
 According to Capt. Bush the oak and copper riveted Boxer dates back to Civil war days, when 1t started out as a brigan- tine. In its next period it served as a training ship for midship- men at Annapolis. After some years of disuse it was brought tc the west coast and rebuilt for its present service.
 Capt. Bush started with the Boxer on it's present run which he has made for 19 years. He has only one complaint to make 'I don't get much time al home," he said.

Supreme Court Rules Workers Seeking Employment Cam
not be Disseminated Against Because of Their Union
Activtes-Gives Defense Against BIackIsting

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-In two
decisions enlarging the scope of the
National Labor Relations Act, the Su-
preme Court ruled that workers seek
ing employment cannot be discrim-
mated against because Of union ac-
tivities and that workers in an indi-
vidual plant Of company cannot
choose their own bargaining repre-
sentatives but must join a unit Sc
lected by majority of employees in
widely separated plants.
The first decision is seen in labor
circles as giving organized workers a
strong defense against blacklisting.
The second is seen as blow at the
right of craft unions to choose their
own bargaining representatives.
Court Divides
Both decisions upheld orders of the
National Labor Relations Board is
sued before j. Warren Madden left.
A recent board ruling in the Libby
Owens Ford case was contrary to the
'unit" rule stand of the board when
Madden was member.
The court split to 2 in the first
decision, upholding labor board or
der that the Phelps-Dodge Corpora
tion copper mine at Bisbee, Arizona,
must give jobs to two men, who were
not employed at the time of strike
in the mine in 1885. The labor board
had ordered Phelps Dodge to rein
state 81 strikers with back pay. The
two men asked to be rehired but were
denied jobs. The NLRB held this re-
fusal was due to their union activi-
ties and directed the company to hire
them and pay them an amount equal
to that which they would have earned
had they been in uninterrupted en-
ployment.
Labor History Cited
The decision was read by Justice
Frankfurter, with Justice Stone and
Chief Justice Hughes in dissent.
"It is no longer disputed that work
ers cannot be dismissed from employ
ment because of their union affilia-
tions," said Justice Frankfurter.
"Is the national interest in indus
trial peace less affected by discrimi-
nation against union activity when
men are hired? The contrary is over
whelmingly attested by the long his

men OVER 40 NEED
JOBS, SAYS M'NUTT

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Action
to find work for unemployed workers
over 40, particularly during National
Employment Week, was urged by
Federal Security Administrator Paul
v. McNutt in statement issued here.
McNutt called upon the 4,500 full
and part-time state employment Of
fees which are co-ordinated under the
U. S. Employment Service to unite
with local war veterans and other civic
organizations in efforts to place older
workers during National Employment
Week, designated by presidential proc
lamation as the week of May to 10.
"In view of the greatly increased
demand for workers with certain
skills," said Administrator McNutt,
employers needing help to fill defense
contracts should re-examine the quail
fications of these older men and women
so that valuable workers will not be
barred from employment.
"Among workers past 49," he said,
"are many World War veterans, men
who now average 48 years of age. AS
the President has stated, these men
have special appeal to our national
sense of responsibility, particularly
during this time of national prepared
ness"
McNutt stated that men expert
enced in the field Of airplane manu-
featuring, shipbuilding, and tool and
die-making are particularly needed at
this time.

ployes in private shipyards and navy
yards between now and September,
1912.
"These figures cover only the work
ers needed at the shipyards for the
construction and repair of vessels. In
addition to these 10000 workers, ap-
proximately the same number of en-
ployes will be required in factories,
mines, on railroads, and in other trans
portation facilities to produce and
transport the materials needed for this
ship construction program.
Area Needs Reported
"The report also shows that the
North Atlantic area, with primary
concentrations around Boston, New
York City and Philadelphia Camden,
will require the largest addition to
the labor force, namely, 152,200 work
ers by September, 1912. The increase
in the South Atlantic area, amounting
to 47,5O0 workers, will be concentrated
in Newport News and Portsmouth,
Va, and in Charleston, S. c.

areas will have to add $1,000 workers

Lakes and Inland areas will require

Supreme Court Upholds NLRB Orders

"has tremendous powers which are of
incalculable importance to our whole
economic order and in the lives of all
civilian workers." Green wrote
"Mr. Henderson's initial statement
upon assuming the duties of this Of
fice," said Green, contained this sig
nificant statement;
"'There is nothing in this order
which gives me the authority over
wages. On the other hand, everything
in it points to the fact that we will
be watching wages as prime cost, of
course, and if there are unwarranted
prospective wage rises, the same as
there are unwarranted price rises, we
will have decided interest in them

refused to confuse wages with prices.

cannot be put in the same categories
or treated alike.
"But when Mr.. Henderson assumes
that wages are prime cost he makes
basic mistake. In all manufacturing
industries labor costs average only Is
per cent of the sales dollar. Technical
progress tends to reduce that per-
centage.
"When any governmental agency
proposes to interest itself in unwar-
ranted wage increases, it must have
some method of determining whether
wage increases are unwarranted. The
proposal implies supervision of volun-
tary collective bargaining and would
necessitate very wide powers.
Labor hopes that this statement
does not foreshadow future policy"

TO ALL MEN OF
GOOD WILL
(From the Journal of Electrical
Workers)

Workers)
Now is the hour in which all men
of good will should draw together.
There is much to discourage. The un-
scrupulous tactics of fascists, nazis,
communists and their unholy alliance,
in an effort to destroy the democratic
way of life, are nothing short of ap-
palling. The reading of book like
Jan Valtin's "Out of the Night" casts
shadows over minds for weeks after
wards. Plottings, murders, systematic
brigandage, forged passports, the
hypocritical mouthing of ideas-all
this is sickening to men of good will.
But men of good will need not de-
spair. Brigands, tricksters, murderers,
and traitors who take up the sword
soon perish by the sword. They de-
stroy themselves, and they destroy
each other. Humanity has to go for
ward; society has to reach some form
of stable organization.
All these issues have nothing to do
with conservatism or radicalism. The
situation has moved beyond these
schoolboy interpretations. 1t becomes
a question of preserving civilization
against the madmen who would de-
stroy 1T. Let all men of good will
draw together and defend the eternal
verities.

Shipbuilding to Require Employment
Of $4,000 More Men by September
Of Next Year, Miss Perkins Says
Large Number of Ships Under Contract and Pressure of
Ship Repair Program to Require Continued Increase
in Number of Workers, Labor Secretary Says.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - The
largest shipbuilding program in the
history of the nation which is now
under way in commercial shipyards
and u. s. Navy Yards will require the
employment of approximately 100000
additional workers in these yards by
September, 1912, Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins reports.
According to a special report of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics en-
titled Labor Requirements for the
Shipbuilding Industry approximately
250,000 wage-earners were employed
in commercial shipyards and navy
yards in February, 1941," she said.
"The large number of ships under
contract and the pressure of the ship
repair program will require con-
tinued increase in the number of work
ers to be hired until peak employment
is reached in September, 1912, when
total of more than 100000 shipyard
workers will be required by the in
dustry.
Other Industries Benefit
"This program will need 149,200
additional skilled workers, among
them $4,000 machinists, 12,100 ship
filters, IL 900 sheet metal workers, and
1900 welders. The program will also
require the addition of 73,400 semi
skilled employees, 10000 unskilled en-

tory of industrial conflicts, the dag
nosis of their causes by official in
vestigation, the conviction of public
men, industrialists and scholars"
The second case applied to six
plants of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass
Company, in five states. The court
divided 5 to in this decision, Chief
Justice Hughes and Justices Robert
and Stone dissenting.
Decision Up to Board
"The Labor Act" Justice Reed said,
in delivering the Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Company decision, "places upon
the board the responsibility of de-
termining the appropriate group of
employees for the bargaining unit. In
accordance with this delegation of au-
thority, the board may decide that all
employees of a single employer form
the most suitable unit for the selection
of collective bargaining represent
atives, or the board may decide that
the workers in any craft or plant or
subdivision thereof are more appro-
pirate"
The labor board decided that the
production and maintenance employees
in all six plants constituted an ap-
propriate unit for collective bargain
ing and the company was ordered to
negotiate with the Federation of Flat
Glass Workers of America, C. l. O.
affiliate.
Union Represented Majority
1t was conceded that the union rep
resented majority at the six plants
taken together, as well as a majority
at each plant, with the exception of
Crystal City, Mo.
The company contended the Mis-
souri, plant had a right to be repre-
sented by the Crystal City Glass
Workers Union, which claimed to
represent 1,50O of the 1900 employees
there.
Other plants placed in the unit by
the labor board were located at Ford
City, Pa; Creighton, Pa; Mount Yer
non, Ohio; Clarksburg, W. Va, and
Henryetta, Okla.
