commented.
 It was disclosed today that the Buffalo branch of the ABC also voted yesterday in favor of strike action. The vote there totaled 1922 to 100. The combined vote at the four ABC plants voting totals 6,766 tc 659, union officials pointed out
 William Moriarty, CIO interna- tional representative, stated that various odds and ends" were dis cusSed by Scovill management and labor representatives at this morn ing's conference with Commissioner William Traux, national concilia- tor.
 Increase Wanted Now
 He said a proposal was made by management to include provision in the new contract for re-opening of the wage issue, but 1t was rejected by union officials. The union feels, Moriarty stated, that the wage in- crease should be granted now and not be put off to a later date.
 Piece-worok plans were among the other matetrs discussed today, it was reported. The subject of union security was not brought up at the morning conference, Mori- arty stated. The session was sched- uled to continue throughout the af- ternoon.
 Moriarty stated that the union anticipates recommendations from the present encouragement con- ference in Washington, and stated the Washington recommendations may give basis for further ne- gotiations with management. He stated that no walk-out will be contemplated by the Scovill local union until all negotiations are broken off.
 Considers Vote Mandate
 Driscoll stated that the union considers yesterdays vote to be a mandate from employees to carry on its drive for a. 30 per cent wage increase first by peaceful means and then, as last resort, by strike &C., ton.
 Commissioner Walter Maggiolo, who has served as conciliator in the ABC dispute, will be contacted to- day, Driscoll stated, and will be asked to schedule further confer ences.
 It was disclosed that 91 of the G. 094 ballots cast in the ABC vote were voided. The ballots from the three plants were pooled and were not broken down for each division by the NLRB.
 Still Await Repeal Act
 At the Buffalo plant, 1880 em- ployes were eligible to vote, and l,- 433 ballots were cast. Only II were voided, 1t was reported.
 Union officials today still antici- pated repeating of the Smith-Con- nally Act, and pointed out yester- days vote by Scovill workers may eventually be used directly to call a strike, vote, without the necessity of waiting for the 30-day cooling-of period, provided by the act, to ex- pire.
 The Chase Brass and Copper Co. local, which has already petitioned the NLRB for strike ballot, Is re- ported considering taking its own ballot, and definite action on the proposal is expected at a member ship meeting next Sunday after noon.

 Another witness said 300 men in Fort Santiago were lined up and divided indiscriminately into two groups. One group returned to their cells, but the other prisoners were beheaded.

 '"The discovery of atomic energy must not lead to Responsibility so far as the safeguarding Of the peace is concerned"
 Points Democratic Changes
 MolotoV asserted that "a lot Of noise" is being raised about the question of blocS.
 'The Soviet Union" he said, has never held that powers should pur- sue a policy directed against other powers. However, this has been prac- tised in the West"
 Raising other points of criticism against the western Allies, Molotoy charged that the Berlin decisions on separations have not yet been satisfactorily dealt with"
 For the future of Europe, he said, 1t was important to note that "a number of Fascis and semi Fascist countries have turned to Democracy and tried to make links with the Allied powers"
 Questions New Tests
 Some of the Allied powers, he said, had also changed.
 "A test of the firmness of the An- glo- American-SoYiet coalition creat- ed during the war is now being ear- ried out he said.
 Everything possible, he said, had been done to "notmalize and estab- fish good relations with other coun- tries which have done away with a policy of enmity and suspicion against the Soviet Union"
 The question now, he said, was whether the Anglo American Soviet coalition would be strong enough in new conditions,
 "The London Conference of For eign Ministers" he said, may have been a failure but the United States Great Britain and the Soviet have met difficulties even during the war and the three-p0Wer coalition has always solved them,'
 Wants strong U, N, O,
 MolotoY noted that social re- forms, including distribution of land had been carried out in some eoun- tries but that "a great deal must be done to ensure the correct appliea- tons Of the Crlmean declaration" and destroy the last yestiges of Nag- ism and Fasclsm,
 The new United Nations Organl- zatlon, he said, must not be sim- liar to the League Of Nations which was helpless in the face Of aggFes- sion and must not be the tool Of any one great power"
 Only the cooperation Of the great powers w,lleh bore the brunt Of the war, he said, would make it work and here good wishes alone are not enough"

At press time today a heavier vote was being recorded than that of the l943 city election. The reason might possibly be the fact that 4,- 900 more voters are registered than of the last city election; then again 1t might be a question of more en- thusiasm than the public has shown during the campaigning period.

 J. Warren Upson, former COP Town Chairman and George Kings ton former COP alderman both of- ficial absentee ballott casters dis puted the legality of some ballots today claiming that as casters they should be in receipt of the applica- tions pertinent to each ballot. City Clerk Joseph Shea and assistant City Clerk John DiCorpo in return disputed the Republican members claim. City corporation counsel Maurice T. Healey was asked for an official ruling and decreed that the state statute does not call for the presentation of the applications with the ballots to the casters. Tt is not the duty or privelege of these casters to have the applications in their possession "Mr. Healey stated.
 "All that is necessary" the coun- sel ruled" is that the ballot be given the casters and the applications be retained by the office of the city clerk. This is being done and is the correct procedure"
 Every ballot has an application, MT. DiCorpo stated, "and they may be examined in our office. They will not be handed out to anyone how ever" he added, that being con- trary to law"

Prospects Good
For Repeal OF
Anti-Strike Act

Washington, ID. C. ULNS There
are strong indications that the Smith
Connally anti-strike act may be re-
pealed in this session of Congress.
Labor predicted it would be failure
and it has not worked the way its
authors planned it. 1t has helped
unions organize workers.
Obeying the law, unions could give
notice they intended to strike in 80
days, thus bringing pressure on gov
ernment agencies dealing with labor
disputes. That administration agen-
cies are now supporting labor de-
mand for repeal of the act is shown
by the following:
1-NLRB has reported to the
President and Congress that the
strike ballot machinery is used by
unions to bring pressure on govern
ment agencies and to gain employe
support for unions.
2-WPB Chairman krug wrote
Representative Ludlow of Indiana
that labOr's strike record is quite re-
markable when properly evaluated.
3-Representative Ludlow sent the
letter to the House Military Affairs
Committee as part of the evidence
that the Smith Connally Act should
be repealed, adding: 'That law is a
cruel stinging indictment of labor
based on entirely false premises"
