April 26 they expected Manpower

make some revision of the recent
job-freeze VINO regulations.
Nationwide extension of the
various stabilization committees
virtually was promised by McNutt
when visited April "a by CIO lead
ers. This followed widespread res
ignations of United Auto Workers
(CIO) men from regional man
power committees, in protest of
freezing workers in their jobs.
Conferring with McNutt were

AnfiIubor
connaIIy Bill
Considered

WASHINGTON - (FP) - All
other antilabor legislation was ne
elected April 20 and so as con-
gress agreed to concentrate on the
Connally bill, S 796, which was to
be the first order of business when
the senate convened May 8. It is
the same bill introduced last year,
authorizing the government to
seize strikebound plants, which it
already has a right to do.
One of the contradictions of the
present complex situation, Sen.
Robest A. Taft (R., o., reaction
ary and defeatist, emerged as a
spokesman against the bill, which,
he said provides that after the
mines are taken over a new board
is established, which would super
seed the War Labor Board" The
new board would make final set
tlement of wage disputes.
"When the bill was first intro
duced here, there was no WLB," he
said. "This bill should not be
brought up now 1t does not deal
with the mine situation. So far as
we know, John L. Lewis wants the
President to seize the mines"

Told To Not Recognize AFL
The Board ordered the France
Co. to withhold all recognition
from the Operating Engineers,
AFL and to post in conspicuous
places at its Brass Foundry and
Gray Iron Foundry at Toledo, and
its Machine Shop at North Balti-
more, notices of the NLRB orders
and to maintain these notices in
such conspicuous places for not
less than 60 days.
Officers Of Local II expressed
complete satisfaction with the
NLRB order and indicated their
hope the case would be settled to
the mutual satisfaction of the COM
pany employees and management.
Melvin Schultz, president of
Local IL upon receipt of the NLRB
order indicated that there would
be a meeting of the France Foun-
dry employees and that contract
negotiations would soon be opened
with the company in the light of
the Boards directive.

Annual election of officers of

n1ittee was held May A, at Local
IL headquarters at well attend
ed meeting.
Preceding the election, reports
were made on the years activities

an awakened political conscious
ness among the workers during the
coming political campaigns.
Following officers were elected,

which Mr.. Mccullough enjoys great
popularity.
Governor Bricker would like to
be Ohio's favorite son candidate
next year when the presidential
nominations are held, Will, Speaker
Mccullough has ambitions to be-
come attorney general. The con-
flict comes in because Bricker is
reaching for the presidential NOM
ination with one hand, while he
grasps the gubernatorial chair with
the other, just in case Governor
Dewey of New York or some dark
horse candidate comes along and
cops the Republican presidential
nomination.
Governor Bricker very definitely
does not wish to return to private
life, particularly now when it ap-
pears that the Republicans are in
fairly good political position ma
tionally.
If the governor should decide to
make a try for a fourth term in
Ohio, and he apparently wants that
as his ace in the hole, it appears
that Speaker Mccullough would
experience some difficulty in Sc
curing the endorsement of the
party for attorney general, since
Mr.. Bricker undoubtedly would
wish to have Attorney General
Herbert run again with him to add
strength to the ticket.

could not possibly have be-
come caught in the bus as the
child's mother asserted, was
denied by the coroner, who
stated, "In my opinion, the
child's foot was caught in the
bus, and don't care what
Wilcox says"
Not Criminal Negligence
The coroner said he did not be-
lieve the case was one of criminal
negligence, but that the bus driver
was too fast in closing the door.
The child was caught, according to
DR.. Kreft, between the curb and
bus after the door had closed,
throwing her off balance. Evidence
for this was indicated by the alb
ssspce of markings on the Body,
"a the fact that the immediate
- NE of death was fracture of
the cervical vertebrae at the base
of the skull.
Questioned about the discrep-
ancies in the newspaper version of
the accident and the statement of
Attorney Wilcox, as well as his
own findings, DR.. Kreft declared,
"The newspaper stories were not
quite correct" Attorney Wilcox
agreed with the coroner on this
one point.
No Witnesses
Informed by the Toledo Union
Journal that the coroner's findings
at the inquest did not agree with
his version. Attorney Wilcox said,
"Then print Kreft's version" Ac-
cording to Wilcox, the Traction Co.
will contend that the child's foot
could not have been caught as the
mother stated, because "there were
no witnesses to the accident other
than the mother" Asked if he
thought the mother just imagined
the childs foot had been caught in
the bus, Wilcox agreed, "She might
have"
According to Coroner Kreft, there
was ample proof that a foot could
be caught in the bus, and cited the

known in no uncertain terms that
so far as he was concerned, the
governors bill was just another
piece of legislation, and by infer
ence, not a very good one.
Conflicting Political Ambitions
Hostility between the governor
and Speaker Mccullough is due
primarily to conflicting political
ambitions of the two men. Cover
nor Bricker is serving his third
term as chief executive of Ohio,
while Speaker Mccullough is in
his third term as Speaker of the

Commenting on the company con-

with their armed forces to
victory"
Praises Miners Sons
The President praised the tough
fighting sons" Of the miners serv-
ing in the armed forces, and the
miners themselves for the bonds
that they have bought and the
coal they had dug in the war ef-
fort. He made it clear that moth
ing would be done to weaken the
right of workers TO join and pro-
tect their unions.
At the same time, he forcefully
declared "the production of coal
will not be stopped" and warned;
"The stopping of the coal supply
even for short time, would in
volve gamble with the lives Of
American soldiers and sailors and
the security Of our whole people.
1t would involve an unwarranted,
unnecessary and terribly danger
Gus gamble with our chances Of
victory"
Makes Promise
The President stressed that he
had given authority over the re-
sumption of mining "to a civilian,
secretary Of the interior (Harold
fIckes) and for the second time
promised the miners that prices
would be rolled back.
Throughout his talk, the Presi-
dent alternated sternness with
sympathy. All his sympathy was
reserved for the miners; his stern
ness for the Unions national Off
cials. "The responsibility for the
crisis that we now face rests
squarely on these Union officers
of the United Mine Workers and
not on the government Of the
government of the United States"
he said.
To the miners he said, Il UNDER
stand the devotion of the coal
miners to their Union. | know Of
the sacrifices they have made to
build it up. | believe now, as | have
all my life, in the right If workers
to join Unions and to protect their

ing in fast and it won't be long
until we will have practically all
of them. This is due to the fine
work of the shop executive COM
mittee, which is militant and on
its toes. These people are not a
bunch of Charlie McCarthys, but
do their own thinking and stand on
their own two feet"
Members Are Laughing
Members of the Union at Steel
Products are getting kick out of
the version of the differences be-
tween Local IL and the manage
ment printed in the company pub
lication, Friendly Forum"
One of the members of the Union
said, '"There must be a typographi-
cal error in the Friendly Forum,
because it says at the top of the
masthead, The Voice of the EN-
ployes.' | think they mean the
voice of the writers employed by
the company and not the regular
workers in the plants"
A hearing officer is expected any
day to conduct a hearing Of both
sides of the case. who will then
make his recommendations to the
War Labor Board, which will result
| in a contract being delivered by
the WLB which both sides must
sign and abide by.
