Rationing Held Unjust"
Meanwhile, the committee - its
membership made up largely Of
Western lawmakers and members Of
Congress from the producing
States-went ahead with their plans
for an executive session later today
to draft the strategy for the fight.
Last night, after Is House mem
bers at a caucus had unanimously
voted to demand 90-day postpone
ment of Nationwide rationing,
Speaker Rayburn disclosed he was
seeking to get high officials to post
pone the program at least until
January /.
Representative Boren said many"
Oklahomans were refusing to reg
lister for the rationing in the belief
that "it is unjust and unfair" in
areas where there is surplus Of
gasoline.
Can't See Necessity.
THE people in my district are
patriotic" he asserted. They're
willing to give the Government their
tires, even their cars, If they are
needed to help win the war. But
they can't see why rationing is
necessary in places where gasoline
is almost as abundant as the air
they breathe"
The situation in the East is diff
ferent,' said Representative Boren
The pessimlsm about the chances
of obtaining action through legisla-
ton was developing in some quar-
ters because, as Representative Hope
explained, only 10 days remain be-
fore the effective date of the order,
and it would be difficult to obtain
quorum if the measure were chal-
lengeu
Representative johnson said he
believed at least 200 members of
the House would support the move
for the postponement. He said the
committee would see Mr.. Jeffers to-
morrow and might ask President
Roosevelt for conference.

to destroy as fine relationship be-

THE basis of the NLRB complaint
is, the fact that Mr.. Kaiser signed a

ber of employees was hired in these

IF such a contract j. illegal or
reprehensible, then every construc-

tions Board.
How were all our new Army

cies or private contractors working
for the Government signed agree
ments with AFL unions to supply
the men to do the work. 1t was done
eficiently and in ord-breaking
time, -

But these considerations appar-
emily were ignored by the National
Labor Relations Board, just as 1t
seems to have ignored the fact that
there is war on.
eff the board " finds its own
complaint justified, 1t will then at
tempt to invalidate the American
Federation Of Labor's contract with
Mr.. Kaiser and call for an election
among his employees.
Thus union rivalry, bitterness
and discord will be substituted for
harmony and peaceful relations
among the workers in these ship
Yards. Production will be detri-
mentally affected. Hitler will be
the only gamer.
The American Federation of
Labor is determined not to let this
happen for the protection of the
