Kearny 5hipbuiIders
Accept {. |. 0. Union
Maintenance Clause
U. S. Steel Subsidiary Bows
To War Labor Bourd
To Speed Production
By the Associe ted Press.

NEW YORK, May Big Steel
the United States Steel Corp
has agreed to a maintenance-of-
membership contract between it's
subsidiary, the Federal Ship
building g. Drydock Co., Kearny,
N. j., and the C. I. o. Industrial
Union of Marine and Shipbuild-
ing Workers, as directed by the
National War Labor Board.
1t was understood, however, that
acceptance by the subsidiary Of the
maintenance of membership clause
would not commit the corporation or
It's other subsidiaries to similar ac-
tion.
The decision, announced late yes
terday, apparently ended months
long dispute during which the Navy
took over and operated the Federal
yards for 10 weeks after a strike in
which a major union demand was
maintenance of membership.
Company Defends Action.
"This action has been taken
solely because Of the war emergency
and this country's great need Of
ships In order successfully to prose-
cute the war" Federal President L.
H. Korndorff said in a statement.
The New York Times said high
Government officials" looked upon
the case as a major test of the N.
w. L. B. If U. S. Steel had per-
sisted in its stand against the mem
bership clause, the Times quoted
these officials as saying President
Roosevelt would have been con-
fronted with the choice Of disman-
ting the N. w. L. B., capitulating
to the pressure in Congress for the
freezing Of open and closed shop
relations for the duration Of the war
or seizing plant after plant and
operating them under Government
control"
Chairman William H. Davis Of the
w. L. B., commenting on the Fed
eral Co. decision. telegraphed Mr..
Korndorff from Washington:
II believe that this acceptance,
which finally determines long

dispute, will have the happiest pos
sible effect upon the war production
in which we are all so deeply con-
cerned."
Effect on Workers.
Under the maintenance of -mem-
bership clause, all employees Of the
company who are union members
in good standing at the time the
new contract is signed and those
employees who voluntarily become
members after the signing must
maintain their membership during
the life of the contract, which will
expire on June %, 1943, or be dis
charged from their employment at
the Shipyard." Union members who
so desire may withdraw from mem
bership at any time before the
contract is signed.
While accepting the Labor Board
order, Mr.. Korndorff commented: ::
1--WE regard the so-called main
tenance of membership directive as
unwise and unsound. and as tend
ing, without the sanction of the
Congress, to set up a national war
labor policy, which will not be con-
ducive to obtaining maximum pro-
duction at the Kearny shipyard.
But we are at war. There Is
imperative need for ships and more
ships. The prolongation of this
controversy might result in serious
loss of production ."

Vacationers got warning from the
Office of Price Administration today
that their travelling in the Eastern
gasoline shortage area" would be
limited to the distance they can
travel on "A" or minimum gasoline
ration cards after May Is.
Price Administrator Henderson
told a House committee that "A"
ration cards would provide motorists
in all probability with two or three
gallons of gasoline week.
Vacationing visitors to the East
will be subject to the same restric-
tions as resident drivers, o. P. A.
said.
However, motorists entering the II
ration States on business trips may
apply also for "B" or *" cards,
emitting them to suf1lcient addition

Eastern Gas Rationinq

Cuts, Senators Say

Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Rigid gasoline rationing in the
Eastern States will bring serious
cuts in the tax revenues Of State
and local governments, three
Senators who formerly were
State Governors declared today.
The Senators-Maybank, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina; Brewster
Republican, of Maine and and
Aiken, Republican, of Vermont
said dislocations in civilian life
would be extreme. but predicted in
interviews that Americans in the
l7-State ration zone would accept
hardships cheerfully as their con-
tribution toward victory.
Senator Maybank pointed out
that many Southern States depend
on part of their gasoline tax reve-
nue. to finance State and local gov
ernment and public schools.
This thing is going to reach
right down to the school districts, y
he said. THE effect will be much
greater than the mere discomfort,
which every one is perfectly willing
to share in time like this.
War Must Be Won.
"Yet the financial situation
amounts to nothing when you con-
slider that the only thing to think
about today is the winning of the
war"
Senator Maybank said the prob
lem of transporting freight and
passengers under gasoline restric-
tions would be especially difficult in
the South, for lack of railroad IA
ciIties
Brewster said the tourist business
normally brings 100000, 900 a year
to Maine and he foresaw heavy in
roads on that income.
But lots OF Maine Is primitive
and our people can take it," he de-
clared He said there was no reason
why defense workers who live far
from their jobs couldn't camp out
close to their work.
That's the way the lumberjacks
used to do and I don't see why it
can't be done again." he said Our
soldiers in Australia don't get to 60
home to see their wives and families
every week end, as would be possible
in this case"
Little Hope Of Exemption.
Senator Russell, Democrat, Of
Georgia said that there appeared to
be little hope that Georgia would be
exempted from the rationing order
He had requested the exemption on
the ground the State was served by
pipelines. He said the outlook ap-
peared equally dark regarding Penn
sylvania, New York and West Vir-
ginia, all of which had been reported
as possible exceptions to the ration
ing order.
From informal talks with officials,
Senator Russell said, he would not
be surprised if before long they
start rationing all over the United
States"

Flowers please the eyes Of people,

q Nature Is concerned. Thanks to
flowers, insects visit the plants, and
those insects spread pollen from
blossom to blossom.
The spreading Of pollen Is i'm
portant. II 1t did not take place

would not grow in the following

Bees and butterflies are famed for
spreading pollen, but many other
kinds of insects do the same work
The bright colors Of flowers show
insects where to 60, and the odors
or scents" also attract them.
Red, purple, yellow. blue, orange
and brown are among the colors of
flowers, and there are various shades
Of each main color. The odors are
20 pleasing in some cases that the
flowers are used to make perfumes.
Now and then. however, we find
an odor which is far from pleasing.
This Is true OF the Rafflesia, the
worlds largest flower. This huge
blossom grows from the roots of Ger
tain trees. It's smell has been COM
pared to that Of q dead animal.
A Rafiesia may have 4 width OF
more than feet, and may weigh
as much As Is pounds. People-do not
like the odor. but flies do, and the
dies spread the pollen.
Flowers differ in their habits.
Some kinds fold their petals at

The ant-lion is 4 fiat-appearing

head OF the worker. The ant lion is
using his head as 4 shovel. When
enough dirt has accumulated from
the excavation activities, It is shot
out Of the funnel by 4 strong Jerk,
usually too fast for the eye to follow.
Finally. the slanting walls are
completed and the builder snuggles
deep into the loose dirt At the bot
tom. with only the jaws exposed.
He has inherited the knowledge that
ants are curious folks, not able to
resist inspecting every Granny ana

the carefully built walls and take

happens, the foolish ant will be

that daisies were first brought to this

centuries ago.
By long and careful work, Luther
Burbank turned rather small kind
ct daisy into the famed Shasta daisy,
which measure inches across and

Scottish folk call the daisy the
'hrainwort," )" meaning "child's plant"
Often the ''black-eyed Susan" is
called . daisy, but it is not a true
member Of the family.
Farmers do not like to have
daisies grow very thickly In their
pastures, but they are pleased with
flowers OF another sort-those of
the clover. Many farmers plant
clover, and thousands of tons of
clover seed have been imported from
Europe for the purpose.
Clover makes good food for live
stock, and adds richness to the soil.

but they can furnish more real en-

place them in q small, shallow box
