CINCINNATI, June 12-
Health Commissioners Carl Wiltz-
bach of Cincinnati, has issued a
warning to local residents
against eating dying fish which
many people have been scooping
out of the polluted Little Miami
River with baskets. Wiltzbach
said the fish apparently were
dying because of industrial poll
luton, and that persons eating
them probably would become i'll.
Samples of the water have been
sent to the Ohio Conservation
Division for analysis.
In discussing that situation
Conservation authorities de-
clared that when unusual condl-
tions cause the death of large
numbers of fish, as sometimes
happens in the Scioto and Ohio
Rivers, or elsev here, the notice
ably sick" fish, although still
able to move about, are of ques-
tionable quality for human con-
sumption.

NLRB Holds
u. s. Law.
Supreme

WASHINGTON (FP) - EN-
ployers are not relieved of their
duty to bargain with unions SIM
ply because state legislature
has adopted one of the several
anti-union labor control laws,
the NLRB ruled June 8 in a
Florida case.
The NLRB held that congress
did not intend to subject federal
law to the varied and perhaps
conflicting provisions of state
enactments."
In the case involved, the firm
of Eppinger & Russell of jack
sonVille, Fla. refused to bargain
with duly certified union be-
cause the union representative
had not been licensed as re-
quired by state law.
Finding that the company's re-
fusal was an unfair labor prac-
tice under the National Labor
Relations act, the NLRB ordered
the company to bargain, upon re-
quest, with the Florida Citrus d
Allied Workers (CIO).
The boards decision upheld
TIE findings Of its trial examiner
who reported that if the COM
pany's contention were accepted,
the result would be, in effect, a
notification of the boards GER
tification by operation of the
Florida statute. Such an inter
probation would be contrary to
the plain language of the
(Wagner) act and the many deci-
sionS of the board and the courts
constituting it :"
Declaring that it was beyond
question that ANY such state
law must yield before the para
mount authority of congress ex-
pressed in valid and applicable
federal law the NLRB said
there is no question but that the
National Labor Relations act
constitutionally applies to this
respondent company and hence
the sole inquiry must be whether
that the duty of employers to
bargain should turn on the
requirements of such state legis-
lation."
In answer TO the NLRB said
No doubt congress could have
so provided, even though this
would have subjected the en-
forcement of legislation national
in scope to the varied and per-
haps conflicting provisions of
state enactmentS; but we find
nothing in the language of the
act or of its legislative history
which warrants the belief that
congress in fact did so provide.
The company was given 10
days to notify the board what
steps it has taken to comply with
the NLRB order.
