Unioneers Strike
In Big War Plant

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 - (UP) -
Two unions filed a $3,750,000 suit
against Loew's, Inc, and two other
organization in state supreme court
today as a direct result of the trial
of George. M. Browne and William
Bioff, convicted union racketeers.
The suit was filed on behalf of
members by Local BOG of the Nov
ing Picture Machine Operators
Union and the international ALI
ance of Theatrical and Stage EN-
ployes (AFL), and also named the
Marcus Loew Booking Agency and
the RKO Service Corp.
Herman Gelher, president OF Lo-
cal BOG, said the suit was an out
growth of the testimony of Nicho-
las M Schenck, president of LoeW's
Inc, at the Browne Bioff eXtortion
trial last year.
AT that time" Gelber said, 10
cal BOG was contemplating a strike
against both LoeWs and RKO. Per-
mission for the strike was denied by
the International of which Browne
was then president.
Mr.. Schenck's testimony, given
during Brownies trial and never
refuted, states that Browne accept
ed a bribe of $15O,0OO from the two
companies for refusing permission
to strike.
THAT bribe brought about wage
decrease for motion picture opera
tors in this city from $2.12 an hour
to $168 an hour. We are filing suit
for recovery on behalf of our mem
berS"

Can0niCaI Rites
May Bind Couples

NEWTON, Mass, Aug. 18-(UP)-
A Jesuit author suggests "canonicai
engagements" for Catholic couples
who hesitate about marrying now
because of the war but still want to
feel that they belong" to each
other.
The Rev. Edward Bowling told a
group at the Boston college school
of Catholic action yesterday that
the canonical engagement rite sell
dom was used by the church but
that it had valuable psychological
benefits
In this church rite. he explained,
the couple pledges its troth in the
presence of two witnesses and a
priest and deposit copy of the
contract with the pastor of the
girls church. Serious injury to
either party would invalidate the
contract, which also may be broken
by mutual consent.

Consumption Held Topping
Coal StockpiIe Additions
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
The Nation is shoveling bitumin-
GUS coal into its furnaces faster
than 1t can build stockpiles, Harold
L. Ickes, solid fuels co-ordinator
reported yesterday, though reserves
on hand in October were the larg-
est of all time.
AS result of the ~ per cent
increase in consumption during
October, the number of days supply
Of soft coal dropped from 81 to 81
by November l, Mr.. Ickes said. The
size of the stockpile went up 2,611,-
900 tons to 1922 900 tons November
Ian all-time high-but the CO.
ordinator soid the average number
OF days supply is the real test of
adequacy, and he uroed consumers
to continue to seize every opportu-
nifty to store coal
The country will require 600 00O,-
900 tons of soft coal for war opera
tons and civilian needs in 1913, Mr..
Ickes said, and every ton stored now
in excess of current needs will lessen
the burden on mining and trans
portation.

As Unprecedented

Seven members of Jehovah's Wit
nesses who lost their jobs in a glass
plant after refusing to participate in
a f1ag-raising ceremony we're or
dered re-employed yesterday by the
Presidents Committee on Fair EN-
ployment Practice in what it called
IAN unprecedented action"
The committee directed the Pitts
burgh Plate Glass Co., Clarksburg,
w. Va, to reinstate the seven, and
ordered two unions there to main
tain effective control over any
union members who may be in
clined to modest these reinstated
men" The unions we're the Glass,

The company discharged the men
last December. the committee said,
when their refusal to participate
In the fiag-raising on religious
grounds aroused the antagonism
of fellow employees
Called Satisfactory.
The company admitted that the
seven discharged Jehovah's Wit
nesses were satisfactory workers,
but claimed that it had been warned
by its two unions that it would be
impossible to control other employees
who might seek to inflict physical

to work with them, thus paving the
way for a walkout or shutdown of
the plant" the announcement said,
adding:
Declaring that management and
labor organizations have an obliga-
ton and responsibility to protect
employees who are prosecuted be-
cause of their religious convictions,
the committee ruled that threatened
violence or work stoppage to obtain
the dismissal of capable employees
whose religious convictions are I'M
popular with their fellow employees
does not constitute a valid reason
for such dismissal"
The announcement did not detail
the grounds on which the seven re-
fused to participate in the flag
raising When the celebrated Penn
sylvania case involving require
ment that public school pupils salute
the flag was before the Supreme
Court in 1910, however, counsel for
members of Jehovahs Witnesses
said that the requirement violated
their scruples against pledging
allegiance to any power other than
God. The flag salute requirement
was upheld by an 81 vote with
Chief Justice Stone dissenting. but
Justices Black, Douglas and Muir
ply later said that they thought
the decision was wrong.
