Dairy Strike
Decision Due
3-Man SpeciaI Panel
TO Report AFL Dispute
BY ED BRAND
Detroit Times Labor Editor

One of the most important de-
cisions affecting organized labor
TO be made in the Detroit area IN
months is scheduled TO be made
public this week.
1t will be the findings OF a
special three-man panel set up by
the state labor mediations board
to review a dispute between AFL
drivers and the management OF
five local dairies.
Appointment of the board was
one of the paramount factors in
bringing the AFL strike to an
end. The strike affected $4,000
Detroit families ana lasted more
than a week.
When James Hoffa, Walter
Brennan and other officials of the
Transfers Union petitioned the
War Labor Board to force the five
diaries 10 add a swing shift for
milk drivers, the board ducked
the issue by appointing Arthur j.
Lacey. Detroit attorney and for
mer judge, to serve as mediator.
RULED AGAINST TRANSFERS
Although CIO milk drivers had
virtually the same setup with the
Borden Creamery and National
Diaries, Lacey ruled against the
teamsters and the strike was
called.
II the panel upholds Lacey's
report, officials of the Transfers
Union will be forced to take dras-
tic action to hold on TO its men,
bership, as it will be difficult for
them Il explain TO their members
why Go drivers have benefits
they do not.
This, coupled with the fact that
the teamsters lost the Dossin
soda pop" juriSdictional battle
makes the situation increasingly
tense.
Realizing the Importance of
II cir decision and their duty to
be fair TO both the dairies and
the union, members Of the board
are weighing the subject care
fully.
Twice they have asked for adj
ditional testimony and, after
closing their testimonyLaking ses-
sions last week, called for adj
ditional proofs" The panel obvi-
ously is approaching its decision
with utmost care.

johnson Takes Issue
With Foes Of Public
Housing Program

Lee F. johnson, executive vice
president of the National Public
Housing Conference, yesterday en-
tered the fight over Washington's S
future slum clearance program to
charge that attacks by opponents of
the public low-rent housing program
in the District are based on "misin-
depreciation OF fact, as well as mis-
information"
In letter to Chairman McGehee
of the Judiciary Subcommittee of
the House District Committee, which
is considering District slum bills, Mr..
Johnson made lengthy reply to
testimony given the committee ear
lier by Representative Smith, Re-
publican, of Ohio.
He declared that Mr.. Smiths at
tacks were based on two "basic
misconceptions: One, that the pro-
gram under the United States
Housing Act was purely a central
lied Federal program, and, two,
that the Federal Government fur
nishes 100 per cent of the develop
ment costs of the projects."~
Mr.. johnson declared local hous-
ing authorities are organized only
after State legislatures pass enabling
legislation artd only after local
communities, operating through
their governing bodies. determine
there Is need for a local housing
authority.
ANY one who has taken the time
to examine the facts" he continued,
knows that the Federal Govern
ment does not furnish 100 per
cent of the development cost of
slum-clearance. low-rent housing
projects"
