guage used during the dispute The
union appealed the case to Impartial
Chairman O'COnnell, who ruled that
the discharge of the shop chairman
was without just cause" and ordered
that he be immediately reinstated
with back pay"
"There is no doubt" Judge O'Connell
said, that shop chairman does act
in dual capacity, namely, as work
er and as representative of the other
members of the union in his particular
shop, and he must be made to feel
free to speak for and act in behalf
of the other members of the union
without jeopardizing or in any way en-
dangering his own position as a work
er, and the employer must recognize
that the shop chairman does occupy
such dual position"
1T is my opinion" Judge O'Connell
concluded, ''thaat in cases involving
disciplining of shop chairmen the
charges should be filed before the I'm
partial Chairman before the employer
resorts to the summary action of dis
charge except in aggravated cases
that will not permit of delay"

One of the main features of this

take into consideration, is when an
employe leaves the services of the
Laughlin Company, his insurance is
terminated, whereby in the Brother

as long as he maintains membership
in the Brotherhood. This feature alone
should be ample proof, that in union
