Supreme Court Promises
Back Pay Case Review

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. (UP)-
The Supreme Court today granted
the National Labor Relation Boards
petition for review of the question
whether the board has the power
to require an employer to hire,
with back pay. a person denied
employment because of his un-
ion affiliations.
The question was raised in liti-
cation growing out of the labor
troubles at the Bisbee, Ariz., copper
mine of Phelps Dodge Corpora
ton in 1885,
Following complaint by the CIO
International Union of Mine, Mill
and Smelter workers, the board
ruled that the company had pur-
sued a policy opposed to the union
and conducted unfair labor prac-
tices. 1t also ordered reinstatement
with back pay of some 40 men who
walked out on strike in the sum-
mer of 1885.
Among the men whom the firm

other British warship of unspecifieo
type and size.
United States Ambassador William
c. Phillips returned to Italy Mon
day and was reported to bear mes
sage from President Roosevelt 10
King Victor Emmanuel.
MIR. Roosevelt sent a New Years
greeting to the king, expressing hope
that Italy might experience peace
during the coming year.
This followed Prime Minister
Winston Churchill's appeal to the
Italian king, army and people TO
rise against Mussolini and seek a
separate peace with Britain.
President Roosevelt'S special rep
resentative, Harry L. Hopkins, was
received by King George VI at
Buckingham Palace today.
Information made available TO
the foreign press in Berlin through
the DNB official news agency called
reports that Germany is sending or
had sent troops into Bulgaria "un-
true and sheer speculation
Athens said that Greek troops
are moving up the coastal road south
of Valona and moving ahead in the
Klisura and Tepelini areas. Re-
ports that an italian counter at
tack had recaptured Pogradec on
Lake Ochrida were denied.
British night air attacks on the
Italian mainland and Sicily were
severe.
The London air ministry reported
that terrific bombardment of the
vital Italian northern industrial
triangle of Milan-Turin- Genoa was
carried out and the italian COM
munique admitted bombing of Turin,
Venice and Catania, Sicily.
The air ministry said that the
attacks on Italy were part of a
sweeping air offensive over the con-
tinent in which great damage was
inflicted upon oil refineries at Porto
Margera, near Venice, Regensburg,
Germany, and Ostend, Belgium.
The British have long regarded
oil as the possible Achilles heel OF
both Germany and Italy and have
concentrated many air attacks upon
German refining capacity, synthetic
plants and oil reservoirs.
The British planes which raideG
Italy also dropped leaflets believed
to contain Prime Minister Winston
Churchills appeal TO Italy for the
overthrow of Mussolini and peace
with Britain.
Berlin admitted British air ac-
ton on the continent but claimed
it was weak. The only German. point
admitted to have been attacked
was Bayreuth, scene of Wagner fes-
tivalS.
German air action over Britain
during the night was on moderate
scale and London believed that Raj
night fighters and tie antiaircraft
barrage had prevented the luftWaffe
from making a stronger attack.

Big gLuxuryLiner
Hard Aground on
Florida Sand Bar

Continued from Page One)
barely above the water.
Officials were considering sum-
moning a heavy duty ocean going
tug to the scene from Key West
but it would take at least day
to get here Meanwhile there were
1879 passengers and a crew OF 450
aboard the grounded, listing ship.
More than a score of boats sailed
around the steamer ana dozen
airplanes, carrying photographers
and sightseers, circled about, while
on shore-250 yards away-more
spectators were gathered.
The cutter Vigilant, from Fort
Pierce, was the first to arrive on
the scene last night. 1t attempted
to pull the Manhattan with an
eight inch line, but the rope snap
ped. The Vigilant and the cutter
Mojave, which sped up from Miami,
used u inch lines; they held but
the liner clung to the sand bar.
Despite the outgoing tide, the
cutters continued to strain and
the Manhattan's turbines roared,
sending black smoke pouring from
her two tunnels. 1t was indicated
that they would keep trying until
it was apparent that there was no
hope of pulling her free without
help.
There still was no explanation
of how the Manhattan ran aground
at a point only $50 yards from shore
on a bright, moonlight night in
sea calm except for heavy ground
swell.
The sand bar apparently is of
recent formation because, maritime
authorities said, it does not show
on charts. Ships about to enter the
Florida keys for passage into the
Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean,
come in close TO shore above Miami
and hug the coast until they have
rounded the Florida cape and pass
ed through the keys. This permits
them TO navigate with the precision
essential to waters studded with
coral formations and sand bars,
from the innumerable lights and
beacons on shore and the keys. Also
south-bound ships like to get in
side the north-moVlng gulf stream
which complexities navigation and
causes them to burn more fuel oil
The Manhattan smacked into the
sand bar at 915 o'clock last night
her speed was sufficient to carry
her bow firmly onto the bar and
all the power of her turbines were
not enough to bulge her.
BY radio she asked the coast
guard for assistance and the cut
ters Mojave and Vigilant went to
the scene of her embarrassment,
seven miles north of here. The Wig
liant arrived first and Immediately
took her line. The Mojave arrived
soon afterwards and also took a
line. The tug Salarina was stand
ing by.

Spy Conviction

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. CUP)-
TIE Unit2d States Supreme Cour,
today Upheld convictions of Max
Gorin ard Arthur Salich AT Lo
Angeles CT charges of obtaining
sec ct information from Amer car
defense files for delivery to Soviet
Russia.
The court held in a unanimous
opinion that the federal espionage
set makes no distinction between
friendly or enemy nations; that it
deals with obtaining information
relating to the national defense to
be used to the advantage of any
foreign nation.
CORN was Los Angeles represen-
tative of the Soviet Tourist Bureau
Salich. a naturalized citizen born
in Russia and former member of
the Berkeley, Calf, police depart

naval intelligence at San Pedro.
They were convicted on allega-
tons that Salich delivered to Cor
in information from naval intel
ligence files on the activities of
Japanese in the United States
Mexico and Central America.
Donald r. Richberg, attorney for
the men. sought in the appeal an

was required to hire were two
whose employment had been ter
minated prior to the strike and be-
fore the effective date of the Wag-
ner act. The board decided. never
theless, that if the company had
been free of discrimination, it
would have rehired them in 1896
when many men were taken on
The NLRB decree provided, there
fore, for the rehiring of the pair.
Unless that view of the labor law
is upheld the board asserted, the
door would be open ito wide use
of the union blacklist, historically
one of the most effective means of
interfering with employe self-or-
ganization."
The second circuit court of ap-
peals, in refusing to sustain the
boards position, upheld the finding
that the two men were denied en-
ployment for their union activitie.
but said they were not employees

such as the Wagner act permits
the board to protect.
In another phase of the same
controversy the Supreme Court
granted the Phelps Dodge COM
panys petition for review of the
portion of the boards order which
the circuit court approved. The dis
pute centered about the status of
employees involved in strike at the
time the Wagner act became law
July 5, 1885.
The 1885 strike, the company ar
gued, was precipitated before the
effective date of the act by cir
cumttanceS not entailing unfair
labor practices. The strikers were
replaced and the Bisbee plant was
operating normally when the Ia
Dor law came into being, it was con-
tended. The strikers, therefore, were
not employees" under the law and
the board had no authority to Or
der their reinstatement with back
pay, the firm said.
