was called and the board tmme-
diately scheduled another hearing.
The board made extensive efforts
to arrange for termination OF the
strike, but the company refused to
agree to take the strikers back to
their former jobs. On october 9,
1941, the board again issued a for
NAL recommendation, calling for the
termination of the strike and calling
upon the company Immediately to
return all strikers to their former
jobs
The union accepted these recon-
mendations, but despite all attempts
by the board, the Office of Produc-
ton Management and the War De-
partment, the company has failed
to carry out its part of the recon-
mendations.
AS a result of this failure on the
part of the company, production of
this plant is gravely jeopardized.
Therefore, as President and Com
mander in Chief of the armed forces
of the United States, have directed
that the Secretary Of War should
Immediately take possession of and
operate the plant and remain in
charge and continue to operate the
plant as long as may be required
in the interest of national defense.
Our country is in serious danger.
The products of this plant play an
indispensable part in its defense. I
call upon all workers in this plant
to cooperate with the War Depart
ment in insuring an immediate re-
sumption of maximum production.

UeIt's statement last night on the
taking oUer OF the plant OF Air
Associates, Inc, tollotUS:
Continuous production in the Ben
dix IN. j. plant of Air Associates,
Inc, is essential to national defense.
1t is engaged in manufacturing for
the United States and its contrac-
tors military aircraft parts and &C
cessories vital to the defense of the
Nation.
Production in this plant is now
seriously impaired because of labor
dispute and cessation of work is i'm
minent.
In July strike was called at the
Bendix plant by the United Automo-
bile Workers of America, which had
been certified by the National Labor
Relations Board as the sole collec-
tive bargaining agency. Unsuccess-
full efforts at conciliation were made
by the Cancellation Service OF the
Department of Labor and the New
Jersey State Board of Mediation
and the Labor Division of the Office
of Production Management, and on
July IT, 1941, the Secretary of Labor
certified the dispute to the National
Defense Mediation Board.
The board was successful in ar
ranging a resumption of produc-
ton pending consideration of the
major issues in controversy. Nego-
tiations between the parties pro-
ceeded through August and Septem-
ber without tangible results. On
September 80, 1941, another strike

Four months of controversy, in
volving number of Government
agencies, preceded President Roose-
velt's order last night directing
seizure of the Bendix (N. j. plant
of Air Associates, Inc.
The seizure, the third the Gov
ernment has resorted to in order
to end labor controversies, followed
a White House conference late yes
terday with Undersecretary of War
Robert P. Patterson and DR.. Frank
P. Graham. chairman of the De-
fenSe Mediation Board panel that
conducted numerous conferences in
an attempt to settle the Bendix
strike.
A chronology of events in the
case:
July /, 1941, National Labor Re-
lations Board conducts election on
whether Local TOO, c. I. o. United
Automobile Workers, was to be
recognized as bargaining agent for
workers in plant. Official result, 206

charged union with campaign of
harassment and provocation" dur
ing election period.
Union Called Strike.
July II. Union called strike, al

ton conferences, according to Me-
diation Board, company declined to
recognize C. I. o. local as bargain

tlement agreement. The company
denied any such intent.
On receiving assurances that War
Department representatives would
supervise their reinstatement at for
mer jobs the strikers agreed to re-
turn yesterday.
Their return to work benches
prompted a brief flare of violence
and a Commute work stoppage by
300 non-strikers. Joel Miller, union
committeeman, said that the first
union man to take his place at a
machine was badly beaten when 80
or so men jumped on him"
C. 1. o. Musters Pickets.
The union men later left the plant
at the request Of the War Depart
ment and production resumed.
President Roosevelt acted while
400 C. I. o. pickets gathered outside
the plant and radio appeal to
Bergen County police chiefs to send
as many men as possible" was made
by Sheriff William r. Browne.
1t was the second time the Presi-
dent had directed a New Jersey
plant taken over by the Govern
ment. The Federal Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Co., United States
Steel subsidiary at Kearny was
taken over by the Navy in August
after the management and c. I. O..
Shipbuilders' Union were unable
to reach an agreement. The Navy
is still operating the plant.
The North American Aviation
plant at Inglewood, Calf. was pre-
viously taken over by the Army
when a C. I. o. walkout had halted
airplane production. This plant
was turned back to the manage

Chattahoochee River
Contains Much Gold

You've probably been thinking all
these years that the murky color
of the Chattahoochee is caused by
mud. But unh-uh. You know what
that color is caused by? Gold.
YeSsir, there's gold in that river
You can take Benjamin P Tug.
gle's word for that, because after
three years of secret labor, he has
perfected, he says, a machine which
will extract colloidal gold from
the Chattahoochee.
He says that S45, OOO,O 900 worth of
the precious metal washes down
the stream annually, and he esti-
mates that with the use of his new
machine he can realize a net profit
of $30,000,000 yearly.
Tuggle says he will install his
machine in the river near the Ros-
well bridge where, he points out,
tests have shown colloidal gold
far finer than float" or flour"
gold, can be recovered by his secret
process at a rate of from . cents
TO cents worth per ton of water
processed.
Tuggle explains the source of the
gold by saying it has been eroding
from Georgia mountains for CEN
turtles and finding its way into the
Chattahoochee.
He claims his machine has been
tested and proved successful. In
fact, he revealed that he already
has obtained Sc or 81 worth of gold
In some of his tests.
Capt. Garland Peyton, director OF
the state mining department. who
has checked Tuggle's work and his
invention, says, I'VE have yet to
see any conclusive evidence of the
ability of his machine to profitably
extract gold from the Chattahoo-
chez. AS yet he hasn't done enough
experimenting along orthodox lines
He has used his own machine and
his own method"
