teachers, jammed below decks on
a small steamer designed to ac-
commodate half that number, had
been shipped to q Nazi work camp

The correspondent estimated l,100
teachers have been arrested for
their revolt against the Nazi-spon-
sored regime of Prime Minister Mai.
Vidkun Quisling and shipped to
labor camps in the far north, where
they presumably are being forced to
work on Nazi defense installations
The dispatch said police acted
brutally" in herding the latest con-
tingent aboard ship at Trondheim,
while once under way the teachers
suffered from hopelessly inadequate
water and food supplies and sani-
tary facilities.
In answer to protests from clergy
and even members of his own party,
Quisling was said to have announced
that these teachers are guilty of
criminal offenses. Clergymen should

NEW YORK. April A.-Eght In
dustrialists who took part IN the

ment joined the president of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers today In his challenge OF q
War Labor Board-backed @. !. o.
A. r. L. claim that the pact called
for board arbitration of closed shop
issues.
They approved, after q day-long
meeting yesterday, a statement by
Joseph r. Hook, chairman Of the
employer group. in which he said:
The statement by the War Labor
Board is not a correct Interpretation
of the position on the closed shop
maintained by the employer men,
bers of the Presidents December
conference on wartime labor re-
lations.
The conference deadlocked on
this issue. The moderator read a
message from the President. There
was no discussion of this letter The
conference then adjourned, without
any action being taken OF any kind
and without any agreement on the
closed shop issue"
The controversy over the closed
shop question broke out earlier in
the week when the A. F. l.. and G. I.
o. Joined in accusing the N. A. M.
and its president, William p. Withe-
row, of the Blaw-Knox Co. Pitts
burgh, of running OUT on the
agreement by publishing advertise
ments which said America wants
victory-not the closed shop"
Coincident with Mr.. Hooks state
ment, Mr.. Witherow commented: Il
have been charged with violating a
pledge which the record shows was
never given. The one thing I have
pledged my country is my utmost
effort to help win this war. And
the closed shop is not a win-the-war
measure.
"All the charges are simply red
herrings to divert attention from the
major issues OF whether the closed
shop controversy must continue TO
impede the Nations about effort.
This it will do unless dealt with by
congressional action"
