Thomas, JAW Head,
Says Public Member
0fWlB Should Resiqn
By the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, Mar. 6.-R. j
Thomas, president of the United
Automobile Workers of America ane
wee president Of the CLIO, yesterday
called for the resignation of al
public members of the War Labor
Board, stating they do not take
a realistic" view of national con.
ditions.
In his first interview. since re-
turning Saturday from the Worlc
Labor Conference in London, Mr.
Thomas also declared the board was
too incumbered with red tape te
permit it to hand down prompt
decisions.
L think all the public members
should resign to give the President
an opportunity to appoint new
public members who are unbiased,
Mr.. Thomas said The position
OF the War Labor Board is very
bad and not realistic because the
public members do not know what
conditions throughout the country
are"
Encumbered With Red Tape.
Stating the WLB originally
handed down decisions promptly
Mr.. Thomas said it had become sc
encountered with red tape it's de-
cisions now require year or more
adding that IF the workers felt
they would get fair and prompt de-
cisions. they wouldn't be so i'm
petuous about going on strike"
Mr.. Thomas expressed the opin-
ion there was a conspiracy among
minority of employers, including
the Chrysler Corp. and the Briggs
Manufacturing Co. to provoke
strikes in order to turn public opin-
ion against labor.
From past experience" he said,
81 don't think there is any question
of the fact that the Chrysler Corp,
accepts unions in the same way an
individual accepts smallpox
Mr. Thomas also criticized the
WLB for failure to modify the Little
Steel formula, contending the cost
of living had increased As per cent
since Pearl Harbor.
Unwise for CIO to Withdraw.
Mr.. Thomas came here to attend
a special meeting of the UAW In
ternational Executive Board of Lo-
cal 669 in the Wright Aeronautical
Corp. plant at Paterson, N j., which
was suspended last month because
of alleged financial delinquencies
in accounts.
He later said he thought it would
be unwise for the CIO to withdraw
its two War Labor Board represent
atives. Such action would leave the
CIO without recourse for settling
its grievances so long as it adhered
to the no-strike pledge. he added
