The W ashington
Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
CIT. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active
service with the Army

WASHINGTON 1T has ESCAPED
public attention that one OF the
significant labor disputes in history
is now before the War Labor Board
1t involves the question Of whether
management has the right to say
whether or not its properties mus
keep on operating at the behest OF
a union after the War Production
Board says that operation Is nc
longer needed for the war.
The postwar implications are
breath taking. Here is the inside
story.
The Republic Steel Company OPP
crates the Raimund iron mine neal
Bessemer, Alabama, where there
was a row over wages and working
conditions with the CIO mine, mill
and smelter workers. The case came
before the overburdened Atlanta
branch of the WLB nine months
ago and was delayed for some time
In the interim, Republic Steel shut
down the mine with the consent OF
the WPB.
Meanwhile, the union got busy
inside the WPB to find out why the
iron ore from the Raimund mine
was not necessary 70 the steel pro-
gram. What it discovered was that
lesser officials in the WIPES iror
and steel division, unknown tc
Chairman Donald Nelson and Vice
Chairman Charles E.. Wilson, had
so ruled without the knowledge OF
their chief.
Learning this, the union pressed
for further investigation as to the
essentially of the mine and, later
the Atlanta WLB received a letter
from WPB's burly Vice Chairman
Wilson that the mine was essential
to war production, after all.
WILSON REvERSES HIMSELF
Elated, the union approached the
WLB with this new evidence. Came
the day of the re-kearing and a
third communication arrived from
the WPB. This one, also from Will
son, sustained the original findings
of his assistants and reversed his
own findings that the mines output
was necessary to the war.
This one was final. 1t arrived one
day before the Atlanta hearing and,
of course, completely wrecked the
unions case, which the Atlanta
Labor Board promptly dismissed.
Now the Go has appealed to the
full National WLB in Washington,
arguing that the War Production
Board, not being a tripartite body
of industry, labor and Government
officials, is not impartial and not
competent to pass judgment on the
essentialities Of property where
a labor dispute is involved.
What the union wants WLB to

Red Cross Sewing
Room Closes For
Summer Months

Coolidge Red Cross sewing room
in South Grammar School will be
closed during July and August, ac-
cording to announcement of Mrs.
]. ]. Jones, Coolidge production
chairman. This has been decided
upon, Mrs. Jones said, since there
is no cooling system in the sewing
room and a greater amount of work
can be produced by smaller groups
or individuals in their homes. Any
one wishing to do such work is
requested to contact Mrs. Jones.
The sewing room has nothing to
do with the Red Cross surgical
dressing room where work is car
ried on in an air-cooled room at
Coolidge high school. This latter
work is vitality important at pres
ent and it is hoped that all who
can will contribute their time to-
ward rolling bandages at present,
Mrs. Jones said.
The sewing room will again be
open on Thursday, September Z,
