Union Laws
May Be Passed
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
BY HENRY A\EHIIL.

Raleigh, June 10. Legislation
making labor unions amtnable to
legal process i'll North Carolina IS a
very likely result of the Supreme
Court decision last week holding tha,
under existing law III tins state
tnlons can neither nor be sued
1t is generally understood that
Governor J. Melville Broughtun is
favorable to such legisIation-not be
cuuS" OF hostility toward unions on
labor, but because he does not feel
that unions Will ever gain their right
fuI place in the scheme Of society ull-
less they are on q footing Wht~
they can take their place in court,
as organizations, just as practically
every other typee OF organization in
North Carolina.
His f%eelir.. Is that it is as much to
the benefit as to the disadvantage OF
unions to be subject to the same sort
of legal rules as fraternal and wen
patriotic organizations.
Legislation to effect the desired
end might take either of two courses
IA statute compelling all labor
unions having locals in North Car
DINA to incorporate and thereby be
come subject to the regular rules for
liability to court action and for SerV-
ice: or (2) an action providing that
labor unions functionlng in North
Carolina shall be able 10 sue and be
sued without being Incorporated and
merely because of the fact that they
are existing and functiuning as
Unions.
The second course would be no
drastic departure from precedent,
but would be right in line with an
existing statute which permits Ger
tain voluntary, nOn-StOck, unincor-
purated organizations engaged in Ger
tain types Of insurance business to
be sued and to sue.

Paradox.

1t seems rather a paradox that as
the population of Fort Bragg rose
from less than 5000 to more than
10000 soldiers, membership in the
Forts American Legion Post actual
ly declined. Explanation probably
lies in the fact that most Of the new
Corners are youthful %selectees, while
many Of the old timers eligible for
the Legion have been transferred
elsewhere to assist in training and

Secretary of Interior Ickes, the
petroleum co-ordinator, announced
today that Britain. due to greatly
diminished sinkings" in the Atlantic,
believes that 1t can within short
period release temporarily 10 to Is
American tanker ships now hauling
oil for the British.
The co-ordinator made no esti-
mate of any possible easement the
return of these ships might have on
the reported East Coast petroleum
emergency. The oil situation on the
Atlantic Seaboard was created by
transfer of American tankers, esti-
mated to number so to 80. to British
service.
Such ships as may be released by
Britain, Mr.. Ickes said, would be
subject to reassignment to this same
service If the need should arise
The release of the tankers is
considered possible by the British" ="
the co-ordinator reported lin view
OF the greatly diminished sinkings
and the other benefits of policies
undertaken by the United States,
including the naval policy recently
announced by the President; also,
the realization of operating eff
ciencies brought about by joint eff
forts. 1t expresses a new and more
optimistic appraisal of the position
of the British, who only a month
ago had asked for additional tank
ers."
