Action Urged 10 Bar
Labor Leaders From
Managing War Plants
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, May 1O.-The Auto
motive Council for War Production,
claiming to represent 20 per cent of
the Nations war output, urged Con-
gress today to clarity the laws Ito
make it clear that it does not intend
to permit labor leaders to take over
ton plants
In a statement issued through
Alvan Macauley council president,
the group noted a strike of more
than $500 foremen in Detroit area
plants had affected war production
and said the organized drive to
unionize foremen was "a long step
toward putting industrial manage
ment in the hands of union labor"
What kind of collective bargain
ing is it when union leaders sit on
both sides of the table?" the council
asked.
Ford Pact Is Signed.
The statement, which the council
authorized Mr. Macauley to send
to President Roosevelt, other Gov
ernment officials and all members
of Congress, was issued just day
after the Ford Motor Co. a major
war producer, signed one-year
sole bargaining contract with the
Foremens Association of America.
an independent organization.
Henry Ford II, executive vice
president of the Ford company, is
a director of the council.
Meanwhile, the foreman's associ-
alton hailed War Labor Board no.
tlce that it was taking jurisdiction of
the unions disputes with five De-
troit companies as the associations
third victory in two days, and began
calling a series of membership
meetings to vote on back -to-work
proposals.
The WLBs decision was con-
tanned in a telegram from Chairman
William H. Davis to Robert H. Keys.
president of the Independent Fore
mans Union. The board warned
however, that no action would be
taken until strikes at 13 plants of
the five companies are ended.
New Era Seen by Keys.
The first ruling affecting the fore
men was handed down by the Ma
tlonal Labor Relations Board Mon
DAY. The NLRB held that super
vlsory employees may not be dis
criminated against for membership
IN foremen's union, but at the
same time withheld recognition of
such a union as an appropriate bar
gaining unit.
The Ford contract heralds a new
era in announcement rela-
tlons," Mr.. Keys declared. 1t was
signed as 140 foremen in plants of
Gar Wood Industries Joined 5000
others on strike at the Briggs Man
ufacturing Co., Hudson Motor Car
Co, Packard Motor Car Co, Murray
Corp. of America and Aeronautical
Products, Inc
Contract First of Kind.
Announcing the contract with the
foremen's union, first of it's kind
in the automotive field, Ford Off
cials said they hoped it would pro
duce better relations between the
company and the foremen t. the
end that war production will con-
tinue without interruption.
Approximately 5000 foremen, who
called off a threatened walkout
shortly before the contract was
signed, are affected, according to
Mr.. Keys. The association was
given sole bargaining rights for the
foremen and in turn agreed it would
not affiliate with any other local
or national union

Unorthodox as this meth
cd may be. some bankers
south of the Rio Grande
have approved the money
tearing system pending the
resumption of normal coin
age.
The odd practice began
in the smaller villages
where the coin shortage
was first felt, and II has
spread to the larger towns.
The torn bills are passed
around and used in the
same way as the metal
tokens they replace.
Many amusing stories are
told of odd happenings as
the result of the new meth
cd of making change. To
see a storekeeper tear your
money in hall, and hand
you part back is quite a
startling experience-espec.
