About 100 volunteers were needed to make the days collection . suc- cess. Although people have not been complaining about the scrap rec lnaining on their sidewalks, feeling that it was badge of honor, the metal must be removed from the streets today. If left too long, the metal becomes e hazard especially at night where some of the streets are dark. J. warren Upson felt con- fident that nightfall today would see a successful conclusion to the metal drive.
 The biggest problem today Is the removal of heavy scrap which re- quires considerable manpOwer. How ever, the efSort used in collecting 1t Is well worth while, because the heavy metal is very valuable in the war effort. It is important that as much scrap as possible be shipped to the smelters before winter sets in to slow up transportation facilities and also make the handling of scrap more difhcult. Large scrap piles at the smelters will insure their operation at top speed throughout the winter and will in turn insure the even greater pro- duction of war materials.
 Volunteers were again asked to report at Freight and Meadow strets this morning, at which point they were assigned to trucks for the day. A schedule has been pre- pared with some trucks canvassing streets that were missed in previous collections while others are cover ing homes in which heavy scrap has been reported but has not yet been recovered.
 Max zusnan, operator of the Commercial Iron and Metal Com pany, which is the main scrap de- pot for this city, reports that war production workers are aiding in moving scrap at the depot after they finish work. With their added help, the vital metal will be ship ped to smelters much sooner than would ordinarily be possible.

War Labor Board Makes
Most Significant Decision
Decision Also Said to Approve
Cheekoff, Minimum Daily Wage

cept the boards ruling. He said
there was precedent in refus-
ing to abide by a WLB decision
the case of a midwestern rail
operator no subsequently
worked out an understanding
direct with employees.
The labor board decision was
said to give the union a main.
tenance of membership clause,
the company checkoff of union
dues, and the minimum daily
wage guarantee.
The decision was generally
considered far-reaching, since
the higher rates might be ap-
piled throughout steel generally,
affecting about 100000 workers.
About 100000 automobile plant
workers, also seeking 81 a day
increase, have their cases before
tie board. The basic formula
used by the board in Little
Steel" was awaited as an indi-
Gator of what can be expected
in other decisions in durable
goods industries.
Under maintenance of men,
bership, as voted by the board
in four recent cases, union en-
ployes have two weeks to with
draw from the union if they de-
sire. Failing to withdraw during
that period they are required to
remain members in good stand
il for the duration of the con-
tract to keep their jobs. New
employees also must join the
union. The checkoff provides
that the company shall deduct
union dues from employees pay
and turn it over to the union.
The minimum daily wage
guarantee was asked for piece,
or incentive, rate workers in
Bethlehem and Republic Steel
companies. T h e e companies
guarantee the workers that their
daily wage will equal the mini
mum when averaged over the
pay period. The union wanted
the minimum as of each day.
Youngstown and Inland are
either complying with the I'M
ions request or are willing to
comply.
The four Little Steel" cases
were certified tc the board early
ir February and the wage raises
will be retroactive to those
dates.

AWed Communicates
Witness Miracle
Crippled Women. so,
0iSeords Clutches

Ell PASO, Texas, July 16 -
(R - A pair of crutches rest
before the altar in the Chapel Of
the Sanctuario De Cristo Rey.
White-haired Maria c. Garcia,
80. until week ago was un-
able to walk without them or to
talk coherently as the result of a
fall in June of 1941.
On July 8, she related, she
entered the chapel to receive
communion.
AS awed communicates look
ed on, she discarded the crutches
and knelt before the altar. The
semi-paralyzed side of her face
relaxed, and she said distinctly,
Praised be the Holy Sacra-
ment."
Mrs. Garcia said she attribut-
ed a miracle to Mother Magic
Conception Del Espiritu Santo,
founder of the Sanctuario who
died there last July 4 at II.
For years the two women had
said prayers for each other.
Suddenly I felt Mother Con-
ception very close to me-" Mrs.
Garcia said. II heard q voice
urging me to throw my crutches
to the floor. I threw them down
and knelt. Then / closed my
hands in prayer and l was sur
prised that ! could open my
mouth"
Mrs. Garcia said she walked
home from the chapel unaided,
leaving her crutches before the
altar.
