by secret ballot. The organization
had intended that each delegate
should come to the platform and
announce his choice over the loud
speaker. Howard E. Lynch, Dover
attorney, however, moved that the
rules be changed so that a secret
ballot could be cast. The outcome
of this vote, 1873 in favor of the
secret ballot, 70 opposed, and two
not voting, stunned organization
leaders and made supporters of
Senator Hughes jubilant. This
came Immediately after the names
of both candidates had been placed
in nomination. John C. Hazard,
Wilmington city chairman, in plac-
ing Mr.. Berls name in nomination
praised his record in World War 1,
described him as an attorney well
versed in international affairs, a
lifelong Democrat, and man who
is sympathetic to the just cause of
labor. AS soon as the outcome of
the vote on the secret ballot had
been announced the delegates pro-
eeeded to vote on the Senatorial
nomination. Each delegate came
to the platform and deposited his
ballot in a large box. During the
tabulation the two candidates were
neck and neck, first one, then the
other going ahead. AS the 106th
vote for Mr.. Berl was counted,
Josiah Marvel, Jr., state chairman,
turned to the audience and with a
wide grin announced: tits OK,
kids"

This was greeted with applause

Berl and 101 for Hughes was an

was placed in nomination. for Rep
resentative by former Rep. Fred
Bailey who stressed his record in
the state Legislature, and lauded
him for his service in the last
World War. The nomination was
seconded by John F. Newell of Will
mington, who described Sylvester
as a friend of labor in the legisla-
ture. DR.. Traynor's name was
placed in nomination by John R.
Donovan of Brandywine Hundred,
who praised his wholehearted sup
port of President Roosevelt in Con-
gress. The nomination was second
ed by Charles e. Wilkins of Sus-
sex County, who described Traynor
as "the best Congressman Della

"UncLe Jim" PrOut
Gets Written I'm.

The April number of U. S. Steel
News has write-up of James Prout
OF this city. The News says:
Its been six years now since James
Prout, better known among his asso-
ciates as Uncle Jim, slowed away
his mining gear for the last time and
went home to enjoy a we'll earned
rest. After 48 years of service as a
miner and shift boss in the hard ore
of the Oliver Iron Mining Company'S
Soudan Mine at Ely, Mimi, Uncle
Jim was entitled to that He'd done
his bit, and now it was up to the
youngsters
But if you expect to find him sit
ting by the fireplace these cool days
smoking his pipe or spinning yarns
about the good old days, then you
just don't know your Uncle Jim. Hav-
ing spent the greater part of his life
in the wide open space of Minnesota,
he's great outdoor man, and whether
the calendar calls for hunting or
fishing, the chances are that you'll
find him on hand with companions
20 to 40 years his junior. So far as
he's concerned, radios, easy chairs and
open fireplaces are for the old folks,
and for Uncle Jim, now Just II years
young, that's anybody else past middle
age"

The Gunf1int lake country appears
to be slated for the next boom in
mining property. "The ground is
full of ore up there" says John j
McAuliffe who recently filed minera
leases on 1000 acres IN that vicinity
j. j. Murnik & Co., of Tower, made
an assignment of their general mer-
chandise and saloon business to Chas
Mcnamara of Tower for the benefit
of creditors. The inventory being
taken shows that SO cents on the
dollar can be paid on liabilities OF
$4,000.
The Chandler mine will begin ship
ping ore this week. The Minnesota
mine at Tower has already begun ship
ments to the docks. All that prevents
lake shipments from the docks is the
ice which is expected to 60 out in a
few days.
A total outlay Of $160O0O00 has
already been made by the exposition
company at Chicago for the Worlds
Fair. 1t is expected that six or seven
millions more will be required by the
company alone before TIE opening in
a few months.

loses his job.
But there is another very significant
paragraph in the decision reading as
follows: ANY individual employee who
has been declared to be not in good
standing by the union shall be en-
titled to appeal and review in accord
ance with the provisions of the con-
Stitution of the union" Every union
constitution I have seen has contained
safeguards against unfair or arbitrary
suspension or dismissal of members,
and that paragraph, in effect, pledges
the War Labor Board to see that the
individual members rights are pro-
tected.
Those two provisos, it seems TO me,
go long way toward meeting the
major argument against closed or
union shop or maintenance of mem
bership clause, that it is "undemo-
cratic" in that they guarantee: first,
that the desire for such provision is
not merely the desire of union leaders
but of a majority of the union men,
bership expressed in a secret election;
and second, that the control which
any such provision gives the union
over the individuals means of iveli-
hood shall not be abused 1t is par
ticularly important that those safe
guards be Incorporated when the
government itself is responsible for
the inclusion of such a provision in
contract
incidentally, employer members who
dissented on the union security issue
did so, not on grounds the mainten-
ance of membership provision was
wrong, but solely on the basis that
each individual union member should
bind only himself by his vote, and
the majority should not bind the
whole membership

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1942-04-30

The recent decision o. the Wa1
Labor Board on the International
Harvester case contained some ex-
tremely important and far-reaching
provisions On which there was little
comment
In that decision, involving seven
plants and about $4,000 employees
belonging to four different unions, the
War Labor Board actually set out
policies union security and wage issues
which I believe would go far toward
satisfying the public on this score if
only they were announced as clear
and binding policies rather than being
| imbedded in a decision on a particular
case.
The Board granted an increase in
wages of As cents an hour where the
union had demanded 12.5 cents in
crease, basing it's award on increased
living costs. Penalty overtime for work
on Saturday, Sundays and holidays
was specifically barred, but time and
half was provided for work in excess
of 40 hours per week.
On the other controversial issue, the
Board granted maintenance of mem
bership" to the union, providing that
union members in good standing must
remain members in good standing for
the life of the contract or be subject
to dismissal by the employer. This
provision, like "union shop" or "closed
shop, is a form of union security.
$50
The Board based its decision on
union security primarily on the
grounds that it would stabilize labor
relations and thereby help increase
production. The Board found that
production had been slowed by juris-
dictional disputes and rival organiza-
tional activities of various unions and
that the company had engaged in
anti-union activity. It's reasoning was
that maintenance of union member
ship, by stabilizing the situation for
a year, would remove major source
of friction and thereby Increase pro-
duction, which seems to me a sound
argument.
However. there are two very i'm
portant provisos on the maintenance
of membership" award. One is that it
must be approved by majority OF
the members of the union involved in
secret ballot conducted by the War
Labor Board. If it is approved, then 1t
becomes part of the contract and any
union member leaving the union also

Q. & A.
@. What is a family unit?"
CONTINUED From Page one)

". WfaG is IdlIllly u1llCT
A. It is defined as including father,
mother, husband, wife son daughter,
sister, brother, providing such family
unit resides under one roof and
shares a common family table. All
other members of the household, such
as grandparents. aunts, uncles, resi-
dent domestics, dodgers, hired men in
the case of farms, and patrons of
boarding houses must apply individu-
ally at the site of registration for their
war ration books.
@. How does a student away at
college register?
A. He or she should register sep
arately from the family unit in locality
where student now resides. When they
return home they will naturally bring
their war ration books with them and
be entitled to benefits Hereunder.
@. What if I miss the registration
because of illness or other reasons.
A. Those who find il physically
impossible to register because of
legitimate reasons will have to reg
cations board. No board however
will accept applications for a TWO
WEEK PERIOD following the close
of registration and these people will
be asked some very pointed questions
to determine why they missed the
regular registration. The registration
covers a four-day period; so it should
be possible for some member of the
family to sign up
@. What is my obligation in apply
ing for the war ration book?
A. To accept graciously and patri-
otically this small contribution (com-
pared with men facing buIlets) toward
winning the war.
