CIO General Counsel Lee
PresSman wound up in rebuttal,
making the point that nowhere
did the NAM offer to show "how
the rule would improve the war
effort, while we said if you put
in the rule it would disturb pro-
duction. PreSsman warned the
NLRB that it lacked the funds
to handle the thousands of in
vestigations and elections that
would follow adoption of the
rule.
A decision will be made by
the NLRB soon.

Steel Workers
Get WLB Increase

WASHINGTON, May 10, (FP)
A $500,000 melon will be split
by LOO members of the United
Steelworkers (CIO) as a result
of a retroactive wage boost or
dered by the Natl, War Labor
Board May II for the Sheffield
Steel Corp, at Houston, Tex.
In addition to the 7-month re-
troactive feature, the WLB or
dered the increase to apply at the
rate of &c an hour above the
common labor rate which was
set at 601sc.
The majority opinion said the
order found that the wages set
were proper as of Nov. 20, 1912
and should be paid of that date.
To hold otherwise, the WLB,
declared, would mean that the
employers would be penalized
for submitting their claim for in
creased pay to the processes of
settlement by the government
and In the meantime carrying on
with war production instead Of
stopping their production and
submitting their pay claim to a
test of economic strength.
Industry members said the
decision illustrates that crush
ing penalties are being imposed
by the WLB against industry due
to its policy of refusing to con-
slider obvious inequities when
ever an agent of this board
assesses retroactivity back to the
expiration of an agreement

ton of the dispute to the boaA

Ralph Brown, International
Union representative attached to-
Director Gosser's office presided
over a question and answer
period devoted to War Labor
Board questions.
International representatives
gave their reports for their act
ivities during the quarter and
received the unanimous ap-
proval of the delegates.
GOsser Discusses Problems
In discussing the problems of
the Auto Workers, Regional Di-
rector Richard Gosser told the
delegates that it was not only
important that the workers re-
ceive adequate wages, but that
they be protected from initiation
by an effective price control
act
He discussed the special prob
lens of many of the Locals and
urged the organization to unite
itself for political action and
work for the election of liberal
and progressive public officials
who were fair to labor. He told
the conference that the reaction
aries now serving in congress
had been duly elected, and that
if they continued there it would
be the fault of the workers.
Director Gosser thanked the
delegates for attending the con-
ference which was the largest
ever held in Region 2-B, and
urged them to work in the in
terest of the workers without
selfish personal aims.
Judge A. V. Bauman of San
dusky Co. Common Pleas Court
welcomed the delegates to Ere
mont and extended his wishes
that labor would continue to be
tough, but not waste its efforts"
in pursuing after things which
might weaken it,"
Local $50, UAW-CIO of this
city played host to the delegates
and served luncheon and re-
freshments after the fin a |
session.

Schultz, Local IL president. who
is a member of WillyS Unit
stated, "The thousands of dollars
which we will be forced to pay
the state in taxes can be saved
by the simple expedient of trans
ferring our office into Michigan.
This money saved can be used to
purchase more necessities for
our boys in the service. We GER
tainly think that the state has
taken an arbitrary stand and we
will not allow our servicemen to
be deprived because of a tax
which, in our case, will defeat
its own purpose.
Mr.. Schultz said that the Gig
arettes were not purchased for
resale and pointed out that the
boxes containing the cigarettes
contained many useful articles
which were sent free to the SOL
diers,
Thousands of WHY'S workers

Bickers With Davis
Rep. Charles S. Dewey (R.

role of trigger man for the mail
order house, but he didn't get
very far in his pickering with
! Chairman Davis.
After Dewey had come off
second best in his clashes with
Davis, the neWsmen said The
Republicans need a real leader
here"
Dewey attempted to make
much of the fact that although
the government had seized
Wards Chicago plant, Sears
Roebuck store at Minneapolis
was left untouched. Dewey in
troduced the two big mail order
catalogs to show the houses do
the same kind of business.
But" Davis explained, "the
Sears case at Minneapolis was
not in our jurisdiction. 1t was
refusal to bargain case,
handled by the NLRB. There
was no strike"
1t was pointed out, too, that
the Chicago Ward plant involves
over 1000 persons and is the
national center of the firms
preparations while Sears at Min
neapolis is subordinate retail
store and the situation involved
only 1,100 persons.

Transfer Of
Workers Is
In SIGHT

COLUMBUS, OHIO, May "a
-Ohio's legions of war work
ers may soon need to develop a
capacity for rapid job mobility
transferring from one job or
one plant to another almost
overnight-because of the Eu-
ropean invasion.
Management, too, must adjust
its sights to possible new pro-
duction requirements brought
about by urgency for new weap-
ons or revisions of present fight
ing equipment.
These predictions were voiced
by E. L. keenan,, Ohio director
for the War Manpower Commis-
sion as he returned today from
a conference with other man
power officials in Washington.
Rapid production shifts result
ing from changes in armament
found necessary under battle
conditions may create this situa-
ton.
Ohio, with its billions of dol
lars in war orders may suddenly
find itself faced with the can
celation of certain contracts only
to be replaced by new ones.
These latter necessarily will re-
quire retooling and necessitate
the transfer of workers from one
department to another, from one
job to another, and sometimes
from one employer to another.
Management's responsibility
will be to channel manpower
and materials into the produc-
ton of new or redesigned equip
ment. Management should fully
inform workers of why any spe-
cific production shift is required
and engineer the changes with
the least possible loss in utiliz-
ing workers full skills.
Skilled and production work
ers must be readily to shift rapid
ly into these new and urgent
production programs. Realizing
that some production shifts are
inevitable, workers can prepare
to adjust to sudden changes in
the scheduling of war work.
New job assignments, calling for
related but not always the same
skills will not be unusual, as
new weapons must be turned
out Immediately if the weapons
formerly produced prove in
adequate. 1t is possible that the
loan of workers from one plant
to another may be necessary in
emergency situations.

ing and bargain with their en-
ployers.
AS a windup, the CIO said
the third regulation threatens
the existence of labor unions by
permitting employers, upon the
termination of contracts, to re-
quest elections if they question
the majority status of the union
involved. Discussing this pro-
posal, which AFL, CIO and in
dependent unions vigorously
protested at a public hearing
May 19, the CIO resolution
said:
Would Provoke Strife
in the face of labor's no
strike pledge the proposed reg
ulation would invite a wave of
petitions by employers intent
upon delaying bona fide collect
i've bargaining and thereby un-
questionably provoke strife and
turmoil with a terrifying impact
upon war production.
1T appears that the entire
change in the course of conduct
and administrative attitude on
the part of the NLRB is due to
Board Member Gerard Reilly.
1t is he who has determined, for
whatever his reasons may be, to
bring about these new policies
and administrative rulings"
CIO President Philip Murray
asked international unions and
locals to write the NLRB mem
bers, conveying their fears OF
the results of the changed at.
! titude of the board.

by the executive officers of
the CIO.
In statement released
May az, the CIO said that Real
ly is responsible for series of
NLRB decisions and rulings
which reflects retreat from
the basic policies and principles
underlying the Natl. Labor Re
lations act and actually deprive
the workers of the fundamental
rights which the act was intend
ed to guarantee to them"
Three recent actions were
cited by the CIO to support its
charge.
Cite Three Cases
They were the American
News Co. case in which it said
the board enunciated a policy
which is throwback to the
days when labor unions were
held to be illegal. The board as
sumed the right in this case to
inquire into the legitimacy of
action taken by the union and
on that basis to deny the union
members rights guaranteed them
under the law
A second case was one involv-
ing foreman and the CIO said
the board had floundered so
long as to provoke the recent
Detroit foreman's strike. 1t
charged that the NLRB had
created a Class B citizenship for
foreman they may not be dis
charged for union activity, but
they have no right to organize
into unions of their own choos-

ried rather to an extreme in the

The others participating most pro-
foundly in the dizzy romp are Irene
Manning as a desperate housewife
who wants only to solve her domestic
help problem, Alan Hale as her hus-
band who is under the neurotic inn
preston that his wife is In love with
a neighbor, George Tobias as the
neighbor whose genuine passion In
