 west Pacific Fight

Bristol, Aug. Spiritually one- man Army, Sergeant Francis Casey, 29, son of William Casey of GA Con- cord street, wiped out IT Japs In a recent setto in the Southwest Pa cific to more than avenge the wounding of dozen or more fellow townsmen in that theater.
 Sergeant Casey, whose brother, Sergeant William Casey, was last heard from in North Africa, was credited with the wholesale Jap slaughter Wednesday in a dispatch from the Southwest Pacific which also indicated that he had been on 20 reconnaissance patrols.

Before anyone gets the cock
eyed idea that this c. l. o. ver-
sus A. F. of l.. dispute over
which union should be the bar
gaining agent for some 10000
employees of three Kaiser ship
yards in Oregon is an isolated
case, situation peculiar to this
industry alone, it is we'll to con-
suit the National Labor Rela-
tions Board records and deter
mine how frequent jurisdictions
al labor rows really are. There
are about 80 such cases every
month, and this has been the
trend for the last year and a
half.
NLRB spokesman insist that
all disputes between unions are
not jurisdictional disputes. A
jurisdictional dispute, according
to NLRB definition, is a question
over what union laborers are
to do a certain job, as, for in
stance, should ships be built by
b o makers, plumbers, or
sheet metal workers, or should
welders and riveters form un-
ion of their own to do the job.
A dispute such as that now
conferred in the Kaiser yards, in
which the c. l. 0. has petitioned
the NLRB to set aside Kaiser
contracts with the A. F. of L.,
so that an election may be held
to determine which group
should bargain for the workers,
is called by the NLRB repre-
sentation CASE not jurisdic-
tional case.
Accepting this somewhat fine
and legalistic distinction, the
fact remains that the Kaiser
case centers around dispute
between two unions. AS such 1t
is a potential interference with
efficient operation of an essen
tial war production industry and
it should be stopped before it
makes any more trouble than 1t
has.

Jack Oakie has run out of
competition. Scene stealing, he
means, has become a lost art in
Hollywood. Jack wishes it were
otherwise. He says blandly it
would improve pictures, provide
more laughs and more tears.
What concealed battery
was to a race horse" he says,
the scene stealer was to pic
lures. They put everyone on
their toes and they kept them
there"
Oakie has been the chief eX-
ponent of scene stealing for al
most Is years. He's an expert
on all the lodges and tricks in
the business. But he says he's
used very few of them lately.
There's no mpet i o n,
means Jack.
The art of scene stealing, Jack
will tell you, has neither rules
nor limits. 1t all depends on the
ingenuity of the player. There
are a few sure fire formulas,
like hand and eye play, moving
your jaws or grinding them or
playing casually with anything
you might have in your hands.
But, largely, says Jack, it's in
spiration.
Among the best scene stealers
in Hollywood, Jack names Vic
McLaglen as one of the greatest
tricksters of them all. Honorable
mention he gives to Lewis Stone,

case now before NLRB, it is in
no way unique. There are ID
such cases in shipyards alone.
There are literally hundreds of
such union VS.. union contests in
other war industries. There have
been close to 1000 such disputes
since war production effort be-
gan.
The NLRB seventh annual re-
port for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1912, reveals that TO-
GIT new cases were filed with
the board during the year. In
round numbers, 5000 cases were
charges that employers had in
dulged in unfair labor practises
as defined by the Wagner act,
while 5000 cases were represen-
tation cases.
Of these 5000 representation
cases, 1919 we're contests be-
tween rival unions over which
should be the bargaining agent,
the others being cases in which
the union petitioning for an cleo
ton to determine bargaining
agent was not opposed by an
other union.
A breakdown Of the 1919 UNI
ion VS.. union contests failed to
show that any one group OF
unions has a record on this ques-
ton any better than its rivals,
although the c. l. O. unions won
the largest proportion of cleo
tons and polled the largest per-
centage of votes.
ELECTION FIGURES
A. F. of L. unions started 234
of these contests against c. |. o.
unions and won AZ per cent OF
the elections, involving 10000
workers.
A. F. of L. unions started liz
contests unaffiliated unions and
won SO per cent of the elections,
involving $1,000 workers.
c. l. o. unions started 37l
contests against A. F. of l.. UNI
ions and won Sc per cent of the
elections, involving 22l, O0O
workers.
c. I. o. unions started 1875
contests against unaffiliated UNI
ions and won SO per cent of the
elections, involving l 6 2, 0 0 O
workers.
Unaffiliatcd unions started II
contests against A. F. of l.. un-
ions, 70 contests against c. |. O.
unions, won so PER cent of all
elections, involving 6 7, 0 0 Q
workers.
To be perfectly fair about
this matter, it is to the credit OF
the NLRB that it handled these
1919 disputes with no more than
the local furore they created
But the important point is that
in these thousand-odd cases
over half a million workmen
were organized" to vote over
an issue which in final analysis
was no more important than de-
Gliding which union collected its
dues.
The number of workmen EN-
ployed in the plants where these
disputes took place, but who did
not show enough interest 10
vote, is nowhere recorded, but
in many of these elections, not
much more than half the work
men vote.
Currently, the NLRB is hold
ing about IL elections a day. APP

dispute. NLRB collects its sta
tistics on a quarterly basis. For
