Inland Steel Appeals
Closed Shop Proposal
OF WLB Panel
Company Contends
Plon Is Violation Of
Presidential Promise
Earlier Story on Pare A-l7)


BY the Associated f'ress
The War Labor Board considered
today request for hearing before
its full membership on a protest
by the Inland Steel Co. against a
WLB panel recommendation which
the company said violated a presi-
Dental promise that the Govern
ment would not order the closed
shop.
The panel has unanimously rec
commended that the National Mari
time Union of America (CIO) be
granted maintenance of membership
and should be given first oppor-
tunity to supply qualified and COM
petent members for vacancies
aboard the company's ships in the
Great Lakes.
The company contends this
amounts to granting the union a
hiring hall" and deprives the firm
"of the right to select employees on
merit"
A board spokesman said it was
customary for the board to refuse
hearing requests when a panels
recommendations were unanimous.
However, hearings were held in the
Montgomery Ward case, despite the
unanimous stand of the panel in
that dispute. No immediate action
was expected on Inland's protest.
Also involved in the Great Lakes
case are Interstate Steamship Co
Bethlehem Transportation Corp.
and International Harvester Co.
The protest was filed only by In
land.
The panel also recommended
elimination OF the bonus system by
which workers were induced to re-
main on duty through the shipping
season. now ended. and proposed
that boost in wages from S17l so a
month to SITS, plus subsistence, be
substituted.

not taken into account, and that
the increased labor costs were not
considered.
Big Overpayment Charged.
The percentages of completion, :"
declared Mr.. Tullos, were taken
from the commissions records. The
overpayments were caused by the
commission adopting values for the
hulls in excess of the lump-sum con-
tract prices which resulted in an
overpayment amounting to approx
imately s2.000,000."
He reported that the first of four
vessels built at the Tampa yard had
been sold to the United States Lines
for 81 100000, while the three others
had been sold to the Navy at $3.50, 600
each in excess of that amount.
In response to questions, he said
that ship, under terms of a con-
tract drawn before the reorganiza-
ton Of the yards. was deliverable at
the specified price, regardless of that
reorganization.
He maintained later at one point
that If the old company had re-
ceived the same liberal treatment
(from the Government agencies
that the new company did ut prob
ably could have gone ahead without
the reorganization"
Several committee members, dur
ing the hearing, stressed the possi-
bility that the additional cost might
have resulted from the speed die
tated by the war emergency and
the desire Of the Federal agencies
to keep the yard operating and
building vessels needed for the war
effort.
