Membership Clause
Denied Union for
Powder Plant Strike
WLB Imposes Penalty
For First Time, Citing
Minor Issues in Case
Ry OLIVER MCKEE.

Because it called serious strike
in an Illinois powder plant lover
comparatively minor Issues with
thoroughly irresponsible disregard
of its national obligation" the War
Labor Board today for the first time
deprived labor union of an estab-
lished maintenance of of-membership
clause in its contract.
BY unanimous decision, the board
denied the request of Local 22574
of the Chemical Workers Union
(AFL) for a maintenance of mem
bership clause in new contract
with the East Alton GllD Manufac-
turing Co, similar to that in the
l941 agreement.
If the union convinces the WLB
of its good faith and responsibility"
after a six months probationary Pc
riod, the board stated. it will be
granted the usual voluntary main
tenance provision, with l5-day
escape" clause.
Members of the Chemical Workers
local union went on strike Septem-
her 8. returning to work three days
later at the request of William H.
Davis, WLB chairman, and William
Green, AFL president.
Closed Down Plant.
The walkout resulted in the clos
ing down of the adjoining plant of
the Western Cartridge Co., throw
ing more than 10000 workers into
idleness.
In it's action today, the board fol-
lowed the unanimous recommenda-
tions OF it's panel in the case. The
panel consisted of Mark Howe, pub
lie member: F. j. Madden, employer
representative, and William J. Gal
lagher. labor member.
although the panel is convinced
that the company is by no means
blameless for its highly unsatisfac-
tory labor rela tions, it remains the
undeniable fact that the local union,
with thoroughly irresponsible disre-
gard of its national obligations,
called a serious sthike over COM
paratively small issues" the panel
said
IF the panel were convinced Of
the whole hearted repentance of
the union for its violation of labor's
pledge to the President, it might feel
that the company's persistently
anti-union attitude would make an
immediate grant of union mainte-
nance the surest guarantee of sta
bility of relationship.
Not Convinced, However.
mot being convinced of the local
Unions present responsibility, 1t
seems advisable to leave the matter
open" Suggesting the six-month
probationary period, the panel
recommended that the company be
ordered to do nothing during the
probationary period to take advan-
tage of the failure of the union to
obtain maintenance of member
ship clause in its contract at this
time.
Action on the request of the union
for n wage increase will be post
poned.
