NLRB Certifies AFL
In Wright Election,
But Scores Tactics
Reilly Dissent Asserts
CLOS Rivals Violated
Pact With President
Es the Associated Press.

Es the Associated Press.
The National Labor Relations
Board today condemned propaganda
used in a bitter employe election
campaign at two CurtiSs- Wright
plants, but voted, 2 to /, to certify
the AFL International Association
of Machinists as bargaining agent
without hearing on the protests
of the CIO United Auto Workers.
The CIO union had filed objec-
tions to the election results, con-
tending the AFL local leaders had
taken unfair advantage of the CLOS
commitment to give up premium
pay for weekend and holiday work
The CIO union alleged that AFL
propaganda accused the C1O of
needlessly sacrificing tht best in
terest of the workers by giving up
overtime pay at other plants and
falsely promised that if the AFL
won the election, overtime pay
would be retained.
Reminded of "Obligations."
The plants are located at Buffalo
and Tonawanda, N. Y.
The board majority said the
difficulty we perceive in refusing to
declare by certificate the results of
the uncoerced balloting in these
proceedings is that the employees who
have freely selected a representative
would be disfranchised under the
guise of penalizing the officials Of a
labor organization for their own
reprehensible conduct. The board
will not deny certification in this
case, but it does request, and will
expect, more appreciation by all
parties involved in board elections of
the obligations resting upon them
under an act designed to protect
their rights and to resolve such dis
putes as arise among them"
The board majority also noted its
attention had been called to certain
CIO publications, issued in the cam
patgn whose theme was to hold AFL
leaders up to "ridicule as gangsters
and criminals"
Wanted Oral Arguments.
Gerard D. Reilly, in a dissenting
opinion, said the issues implicit
in this matter are too grave and
serious to dispose of without setting
the matter down for oral argument
or taking evidence on the allega-
tions." He said the essence of the
issue was whether a local of the
union was AFFILIATED with one of
the great branches of organized
labor is entitled to retain the bene-
fits OF an election won over a rival
union by repudiating solemn COM
pact with the President of the Uni
ted States made in the interest of
prosecuting the war by the national
leaders of its parent organization,
in the face of an allegation that its
success in the election was due to
this very act of intransigence"
MFR. Reilly was referring to the
AFL's commitment to the President
to forego premium week end pay
for the duration of the war.
