Inland Steel Protests
WLD Panels Ru|inq
On seamen Hiring
Company Asserts Order
Violates Presidents
Premise on Closed Shop
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. FINLAND Steel
Co, said last night that it had tele-
sraphed the War Labor Board pro-
testing WLB reviewing panels rul-
ing which, 1t said, violated a presi-
dental promise that the Govern
ment would not order the closed
shop
A company statement said that
the panels order granted the CIO
National Maritime Union mot only
union maintenance, but the hiring
hall for its vessels on the Great
Lakes" system, Inland told the
WLB, which "deprives us of the
right to select employees on merit" ="
Preferential Hiring
They (the uniom call it prefer
ential union hiring" Inland said
it had telegraphed the WLB, but it
is the hiring hall just the same. And
the hiring hall principle goes be-
yond that of the closed shop, for it
deprives us of the right to select
employees on merit. This has vital
bearing on war production. >"
The statement said the order fol-
lowed panel consideration of con-
tract issues between Inland and the
Maritime Union, bargaining agent
for unlicensed personnel on company
vessels. The company asked the
WLB for public hearing before the
full board.
The company said it told the WLB
that In the Lakes season just closed
iron ore vessels brought more ton
mage down TIE Lakes than ever
before-more tllan the War Produc-
ton Board requested. 1t was pos
sible because vessel owners we're free
to select the crews with a single
eye to experience and ability, and
without regard to union affiliation."
the company added.
1T is now proposed to deprive us
OF the right to select our crews, and
to turn this over to the union who
will send men to us on first come
first serve basis. without regard to
experience and ability, provided only
they hold seamen's papers.
Efficiency Held Impaired.
Theoretically, under the order We
may reject men for cause, but this
has no practical value Every re-
lection will be made a grievance. and
If we reject, and wait for a slfbst-
tute. the sailing of the vessel will
be delayed. No fair mind can fail to
see that this will impair efficiency
and be contrary to the national in
terest in wartime. 1t will also vio-
late the Presidents promise that the
Government would not order, nor
would Congress pass legislation es-
tablishing, the closed shop"
The company further told the
board that under the panels deci-
sion, no seaman could obtain a JOB
on any iron ore vessel On the Great
Lakes without joining the union
"and having joined, he could not
keep his job unless he remained q
member. This is the closed shop

An example of just how close and
exciting the ball game proved is
revealed in the halftime score of
1928 followed by last half count
of just 1925 with the one-point
edge going to the Purple Wolver-
ines.
Coach Ollie G. Dawson and his
young assistant, Paul r. Webber,
brought to town ball club that
was beautiful to behold with its
fancy capers and lightning breaks.
1t led Morris Brown virtually the
entire game except at the close of
each period. Then, Coach Billy
Nicks men would come home with
a rush and deadlock things.
S. c. State dominated the earlier
stages of the first half, enjoying
from four to six point margins,
and, for a time, it looked like an
other rout that 51-36 romp the
crack Carolinians did at the ex-
penSe of the Wolverines over in
Orangeburg a fortnight ago.

Breaks STAG Record For
Second Time In 1912

Frank (Blotto) Crozier, Xavier all
time great, racked up $40 points in
30-odd ball games and put Dalton'S
aggregate point record for a single
season in the shade. But, as may
be readily seen, Daltons game-to-
game average was virtually eight
game better than Crozier's.
HOT-NIGHTS
Twice in 1927, Dalton shot 81
points in single game. He did it
one night against Wilberforce and
came back the very next evening
up in Chicago and canned 81 against
the Savoy Big Five for sensational
run of 81 points in two nights.
Clark, though only collegians, was
the class of the best sepia pro clubs
that existed at that time. The team
had height, technical brilliance, and
indonitable team spirit and fight.
Dalton'S record of 81 points in
one game stood unchallenged until
one evening in 1885 up in Knoxville,
Tennessee, when the late Carlos
Parker of Alabama State got good
and hot and dented the cylinder for
81 for his Hornet meates.
There followed a run Of seven
complete years in which the pro-
formances of Dalton and Parker
weren't even threatened. But be-
