Independent Unions
Immediately Reject
WB's Plan for Them
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board announced
today its program for dealing with
the problems of unions which are
not affiliated with the AF'L or the
CIO, but the Confederated Unions
of America quickly rejected it as an
unacceptable substitute for their
demand for full representation on
the board.
The board appointed Henry j.
Meyer as liaiSon officer for inde-
pendent unions to answer inquiries
regarding cases before the national
board, and said similar naison off,
GERS will be appointed in each re-
gional board. In any case before
the Review, Appeals or Postdirective
Committees of the national board
involving an independent union, an
independent union representative
will be designated on request of the
union involved to sit as the labor
member of the committee.
The WLB program condemned
organizing tactics Of any union
based upon claim of preferred treat
ment by this board" and promised
prompt and appropriate action" In
any case brought to its attention.
The board reaffirmed its policy of
referring disputes between inde-
pendent unions and CIO or AFL
unions to an arbitrator for final de-
termination. Under the boards rules,
an independent union in dispute
case also may request appointment
of an independent union representa-
tive as the labor member of the tri-
partite panel hearing the case.
The program was worked out in
conferences with the National Fed
Grafton of Telephone Workers, the
United Telephone Organizations
and the East Coast Alliance of In
dependent Shipyard Unions, none of
which is affiliated with the AFL or
the CIO, but it is understood they
did not necessarily waive their
claims to seats on the WLB. The
four labor seats on the WLB are
now shared by the AFL and the
CIO.
Donald Cameron, secretary of. the
Confederated Unions of America,
which is built around Matthew
Smiths Mechanics Educational So
ciety of America, said in state
ment that lit will do little to stop
the unrest and dissatisfaction so
strongly manifested by the rank and
file members of our unions"

CHAPTER TwENTY-sIx

-Hello, Mr.. Sturgis!" Ellen
greeted him, coming forward. Don't
mind Bill Carstairs. He's a wee bit
on the full side. Gosh, you look pale,
Mr.. Sturgis!" She offered Pierre
a cigarette. His hand trembled as
he took one.
will you have Scotch or rye?"
Argus asked.
Scotch, please" Sturgis said.
Argus went in search of Butch.
When he returned he overheard
Sturgis asking Ellen if she would
pose for him at nine o'clock that
evening. He had a rush job to do,
he explained.
Bring Mr.. Steele along, too" he
added. at won't take very long"
Butch brought in the drinks and
set them down.
Here. see il this is strong
enough" Argus said. Sturgis took
a sip and gagged slightly. He nod
ded his acquiescence.
81 made it strong, like you said,
boss" Butch declared.
"Good, Butch. thought you
looked like you needed it, Mr.. Stur-
gis." Argus said.
II do" Pierre agreed. "Im all
done in" He stole a side glance at
Bill Carstairs. "Can we -alk?" he
asked the detective.
Sure" said Argus. Nothing
short of a bomb could wake Bill.
Go ahead"
II came here this afternoon, Mr..
Steele, to see if | could retain you
TO solve Syria's death" He seemed
TO have difficulty speaking her name.
"She was telling me about you Mon
day night on the way to dinner.
Syria thought you were the great
est detective in the world. Well,
frankly, think a good man will be
needed to find the scoundrel who
took that poor girls life. OF all the
lovely girls who have been before
my camera, she was the only one
who ever affected me that way"
at was Mr.. Sturgis who did the
color photos in that cigarette cam
paign for Syria" Ellen reminded
Argus. "Those shots and a couple
Of magazine covers were really what
led to her movie contract, even
though Roger Flagg does take al
the credit"
did you take any Of those art
photos that are being published in
the papers?" Argus asked.
GOOD Lord, no." exploded Stur.
gis. Syria never posed for me in
the nude or semi-nude. l wouldn't
let her do that sort Of stuff. The
papers must've dug those up from
several yesrs'back. She didn't know
any better then"
MIR. Sturgis," said Argus, when
you were out with Syria on Monday
night, did she happen TO mention
either Bill Carstairs or his father
Sturgis hesitated. "So, not that
recall"
"But you knew that Syria wa,
quite-er-friendly with Mr.. Car
stairs, Sr., didn't you?"
81 knew that he used her in hi.
advertising campaigns, but" He
looked over at Bill.
But you suspected that his sor
was the one who was personally
interested in her, is that it," Argus
asked.
