WLB RULING MADE
ON n. E. PLANTS

ATLANTA, June IA Up The
Fourth Regional War Labor Board
ruled today that the Firestone Tire
and Rubber Co. of Burlington, N.
G., is not bound by union con-
tract made by their predecessor,
the Fairchild Engine Airplane Co.
In one of several decisions an
nounced today, the WLB held that
Firestone did not become the le-
gal successor of Fairchilld when
it began operation of war plant
at Burlington and therefore is not
bound by a contract between the
latter and the United Automobile,
Aircraft and Agricultural Imple'
ment Workers of America (C1O).
The Firestone Co. said that in
February the firm opened a diff
ferent type of war operation in
the building formerly occupied by
Fairchild but obtained through the
Defense Plant Corporation; that
Firestone employed approximately
200 Of the $500 of the former en-
ployes of Fairchild. but that there
was lapse in employment be-
tween the time Fairchild stopped
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-06-15

operations and Firestone hired
these workers.
The union commended that Fire
stone absorbed the entire Fairchild
maintenance and production crews
as well as supervisory personnel
and therefore became the legal
successor of Fairchild and thus
was bound by a contract with the
union.
Another decision was one involv'
ing the Burlington Mills Corp.
(plants I, 8 and ~ in Burlington
and the Textile Workers Union OF
America (CIO). The board order
ed a SIS cent minimum wage and
a five cent an hour across the
board increase retroactive to Oct.
1, 1914. 1t also ordered the com.
pany and union to negotiate ball
anced wage structure.
At the National Carbon Co., Inc,
Winston-Salem, N. c., unterna.
tional Association of Machinists,
AFL), the board ordered a volun-
tary maintenance OF membership
with escape period, a five per cent
differential for work on the sec.
ond shift and a seven per cent
differential for the third shift, and
denied the unions request for =
wage increase.

The Presidents action will remove

to step souarely into the strife-torn
industrial situation and handle dis

Mr.. Schwellenbach favored term

ended and asked the President for
fun authority in the field of labor
relations. He was overruled, how
ever, and Mr.. Truman a month ago
issued a new executive order ex-
tending WLB's wartime authority
into the reconversion period. The
agency was supposed to pass out of
existence after permanent ma
chinery for handling disputes was
set up by the forthcoming labor
management conference.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18,-
Japan's Premier Prince Naruhiko
Higashi-Kuni, in a press conference
with more than 100 Allied corre-
spondents, denied today he ever had
had ordered any American airmen
killed or had anything to do with
war prisoners, CHS and Mutual re-
porters said in broadcasts from
Tokyo.
The Premier was questioned for
two hours, they said, but many Of
his answers were vague or non
committal.
He was quoted as saying that as
home defense minister his Job was
to see that raiding planes were shot
down but that was all.
At the close of the conference. the
prince then asked the correspond
ents for suggestions in the recon-
struction Of Japan and expressed
hope that progress would be made
toward their suggestions for demo-
cratization OF the country, the cor
respondents said.

Officials Chogrined
BY the Associated Press.

Gen. MacArthur'S estimate
that as few as 100000 men would
be sufficient to occupy Japan
provoked a mixed reaction here
today.
1t also raised the possibility that
President Truman might have to
step into an apparent controversy to
decide exactly what this country's
occupation policy is to be.
Cheers for Gen. MacArthur's op-
timistic projection of troop needs six
months hence came from demobili-
zation-conscious Capitol Hill. There
the House-apparently determined
to do nothing at once about ending
the draft or speeding discharges by
law-drove toward passage of a bill
intended to spur Army and Navy
enlistments.
