President Orders
Land 10 Take Over
Brooklyn 5hipyard
Takes Action as Labor
Dispute Threatens
War Production

President Roosevelt late today
issued an executive order au-
thorizing the war shipping ad-
ministrator, Admiral Emory S.
Land, to take over and operate
the plant of the Atlantic Basin
Iron Works at Brooklyn, where a
labor dispute is threatening to
interrupt war production.
The company has refused to sign
contract with the CIO Marine
and Shipbuilding Workers, which
was certified as the bargaining
agent by the National Labor Rela-
tions Board.
About 1000 employees are involved
in the dispute which has been hang
ing fire for more than five years.
The case was certified to the War
Labor Board last November, and the
Presidents action followed the in
ability of the board to settle the
trouble.
Warned August 80.
The War Labor Board had sent
a wire to the company August 30 ad-
vising that the case would be turned
over to the President if no settle
ment was reached.
The company and the union dis
agreed on Is issues in the proposed
contract. A statement issued by
Wayne L. Morse, compliance officer
for the War Labor Board, said that
the board had decided by "unani-
nous vote" that the company must
be deemed to be in defiance of the
board order.
Calls Situation Unfair.
ut obviously is not fair to law
abiding employers and unions to
permit a party in any given dispute
to defy successfully wartime labor
policies ordered by the Government
as is being attempted by the Atlantic
Basin Iron Works Co in the instant
case" Mr. Morse said in a letter to
the President.
Mr. Morse explained that the
board did not believe that this case
could be handled effectively by the
lesser sanctions provided in the
Presidents order which imple-
mented the Smith Connally Anti
strike Act.
