DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. s.
Vice President Wallace declared in

greatly disturbed by the present
farm lano price boom and that he
hoped legislation would be passed to
prevent the difficulties a similar
boom caused after the World War
Farm land prices have advanced
about $50 an acre in the last two
years. he said, and that is more
than the advance between 1916 and
1918
The worst thing that could hap
pen to the farmer would be to get
sucked in on the farm price boom
II will be bad. too, If the farmers
let the city people who are piling
up savings come out and take their
farms away from them"
The Vice President also made
another of his attacks on big cor
porations.

corporations have made Washington
a way station for Wall Street. We
must find way to give a soul to

Labor Leaders Doubt
Immediate WaIkouf
Al Two War Plants
Vote to Strike Under
New Low Described as
Slap at NLRB Decision
~ the Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, H.. Aug. s.
No immediate work stoppage in
two Springfield war plants was
anticipated, labor leaders said
today, despite vote by a major
ity Of employees in favor of a
strike in the Nations first cleo
tion under the antistrike law.
More than 1900 employees of two
Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co
plants balloted yesterday in the Sc
cret election held by the National
Labor Relations Board under pro-
visions of the recently enacted
Smith -Connally law designed to
forestall strikes.
The NLRB announced that 1850
OF the 2,200 employees eligible to vote
cast ballots, 1005 in favor of a
strike and s36 against. Nine ballots
were voided, The election climaxed
a dispute between District so of
John L. Lewis United Mine Workers
and the CIO United Farm Equip
ment and Metal Workers of America
as to which union had Jurisdiction
over maintenance and production
workers at the two plants.
Leaders of Both Factions Agree.
UNIV officials had threatened to
strike unless the collective bargain
ing controversy was settled. Pre-
viously, the NLRB had dismissed
District so challenge of NLRB GER
tif1cation of the Farm Equipment
Workers Union as bargaining
agency at the plants until April Is,
1914.
Commenting on results of the
election, leaders of both factions
told reporters they anticipated no
immediate strike action.
Asserting that the vote was a. re
pudiation of the NLRB's denial of
our petition for election" Hugh
White. regional director of District
so, said, There will be no immedi-
ate strike" He added, however I'VE
will demand that the NLRB correct
this mistake in denying us an cleo
ton for bargaining rights" If the
demand is defused, Mr.. White said.
then it's up to the workers"
John Z. Shaffer of South Bend.
Ind, vice president of the farm
workers union. told reporters. Il still
don't believe they want to strike. I
don't anticipate any strike action"
He said that "the only thing to be
gained by this strike vote is that it
is now legal for the plant to be
struck. We still are the bargaining
agent for the plant"
Donald F. Schweitzer, the COM
panys Springfield works manager.
asserted that thus far we have had
no indication there will be work
stoppage."
The question on the ballots on
which the workers were asked to
mark an *" under Yes or no"
read: do you wish to permit an in
terruption of war production in war
time as a result of this dispute?"
UNIV officials had protested to the
NLRB against inclusion of the
phrase ''in wartime" in the PROPOSE
ton.
In Milwaukee, Lee H. Hill, vice
president in charge of industrial re-
lations for Allis- Chalmers, said "it
must be born in mind this is not a
dispute between the company and
It's employees After the NLRB
had conducted an election, which
was won by the CIO union, he nego-
tiated contract with that union
in accordance with the terms of the
law
The company today still stands
ready to bargain collectively with
any agency designated by the Gov
ernment. Our only desire is to con-
tinue production on vital war ma

here, the White House announced
today.
Presidential Secretary Stephen
Early said yesterday that emphasis

is cochairman of the French Com
mittee for National Liberation.
President Roosevelt has desig-
mated Admiral William D. Leahy,
his personal chief of staff, to meet
Gen. Giraud on his arrival and take
him to the White House. Gen.
Giraud last was reported officially
at Natal, Brazil, but there was spec
ulation he had proceeded to Mar

that French Caribbean island.
Since he is not the head of a
government, Gen. Giraud will not
spend a night at the White House,
as do visiting chiefs of state, but
will be lodged at the Blair House as
the Government guest.
Mr.. Early said he expected that
Gen. Giraud and Gen. George C.
Marshall, Army chief of staff, would
be much together" during the
French leaders stay in Washington
and that Gen. Giraud also would
see Secretary of War Stimson and
