Union Shop Demand
0fC.L. 0. Denied by
War Labor Board
Phelps Dodge Ruling
Hints Government Will
Fix Policy on Issue
BY the Associated Press.

The War Labor Board, in an
important unanimous decision
involving the union shop issue,
today denied a $1-a-day wage in
crease and the union shop to. c.
I. o. employees of Phelps-D Dodge
Corp, and hinted that IAN au-
thoritative national policy" on
the union shop question might
be established by the Govern
ment.
The case involved demands of the
c. I. o. Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers Union, representing TOO
workers at the company's Douglas
(Ariz) plant. Most of the 5000 or
1000 employees in other Phelps
Dodge copper mines and smelters
are covered under A. r. L. wage
contracts, the board declared.
"A Sorry Reply"
In denying the c. I. o. wage re-
quest for the Douglas plant, the
board asserted it did not wish to
upset pay scales affecting majority
Of Phelps Dodge employees and Gre
ate artificial competition" between
the two unions.
Such q decision, the board said,
would be "a sorry reply to the pleas
Of our fighting men for equipment
with which to defend their lives"
On the union shop issue, the deci-
sion said:
THE question of additional union
security should be deferred to later
negotiations between the parties
which may be undertaken in the
event an authoritative national pol
icy Is enunciated respecting the
matter"
Other Requests Pending.
Whether the board, Congress or
the President might establish such
a policy was not indicated, but it
was the boards first reference, in
any of its decisions. to such q pos
sihility.
The union shop question is OF
major importance in the War Labor
Boards immediate future because
of pending demands by the c. I. o
Steel Workers Organizing Commit
tee for q $1-a-day Wage increase
and q union shop in Little Steel
companies.
Under the union shop arrange.
ment an employer may hire any one
he pleases, but every employe mus
join the union after . stipulated
! period Of time.

N the Associated Press.


Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey said
today national selective service
headquarters would soon advise
local draft boards that the press
and radio were viewed ofiicially as
industries essential to the national
interest"
The selective service director noted
that similar opinions already had
been given as to motion pictures and
organized labor leaders.
Gen. Hershey stressed, however,
that only local boards can decide
whether any individual is key man
and therefore eligible to draft defer
ment as indispensable to an industry
considered essential.
Forty-one directives have been
sent thus far to the local boards to
advise them on classifications, he
told a press conference, with the
prediction that many others were
likely.

Two COrpeOOeS eXplOOeQ against
our sides in rapid succession, and
instantly we were a mass of flames
amidship. We had $4,000 barrels of
gasoline and another $4,000 barrels
of Diesel oil and kerosene aboard.
The sea soon was af1re for half a
mile or mile around us as the gaso-
line and oil spread.
We had passed another ship which
was about five miles back on the
starboard quarter when we were tor
pedoed and set af1re. Three or four
shells exploded on us after We were
ablaze. The men on the ship behind
us saw it all, yet they came to our
rescue, launched boats and saved
all who were alive. That is bravery.
I was in my room when the tor
pedoes came. Instantly the doorway
was framed with fire. There was
no gasoline explosion, for our tanks
were full and full tanks do not ex-
plode. tried to get out of port
hole, but it was too small. I got
some heavy towels, wet them and
wound them around my head, face
and hands. I threw open my door
and made my way forward.
I could see First Omcer Alfred
Carini and Third Ofiicer H. L. Dodge
at the bow of the ship with the
radio oficer, and made my way to
them.
Don't jump overheard" I told
them. G"You'u burn to death"
We talked the situation over, and
got a heavy mooring line which we
made fast and put the end over the
bow. We waited until the bow was
clear of flames, then slid down the
line into the sea and swan hard to
get away from the ship.
I thought there wasn't a chance
for life. All our lifeboats burned.
We had no idea any ship would
brave submarine attack on itself
to come to our aid. But the men
of that other ship came on.
Ten or 15-foot seas were running.
The water was warm but cold
rain was falling. I was in the water
about two hours before being pulled
aboard lifeboat.
Dodge, my third officer, from Bal
timore, had no lifebelt. He found
his clothes dragging him under so
he stripped in the water, he told me
later. He said the rescue ship
missed him although he shouted as
loud as he could. It went on about
two miles. He gave himself up as
lost, and then two Navy planes
passed over. Just after the planes
passed the rescue ship turned, made
directly for him. line was thrown
and he was pulled aboard. Dodge
believes the Navy flyers directed his
rescue, and think he Is right.
Carini's experience was about the
same as mine.
The 20 men who were lost didn't
have a chance.
