The predictions were that
in the long run the indepen-

lose out to the rank-and-file
unions which could represent
them more effectively because
of their gre a ter bargaining
strength.
Foremen, whose work is "less
managing than managed" ac-
cording to the NLRB ruling last
month, will gradually filter into
the established unions in order
to bring their gains up to the
level of the workers in long
established unions.

the NLRB's decision came in a

there will be no manpower legis-

On the other hand, it may
backtrack and accept the "vol-
untary" measure which was en-
acted by the Senate some weeks
ago and which gave the back
ing of law to present regula-
tions of the War Manpower
Commission. To do so, the House
would probably name a new

draft and they in turn would
work out the details with cor

Glass Workers
Settle Dispute

A dispute between Local 8,
Federation of Flat Glass Work
ers, CIO, and the Libbey-Ow
Glass Co. was settled earlier this
week in a compromise between
the union and company manage
ment.
The dispute which began
early in January arose when
the company arbitrarily changed
the working time of its en-
ployees from eight and one-half
hours daily and five hours on
Saturday, to six days of eight
hours each.
Inability of the union and the
company to come to an agree
ment resulted in the workers
refusing to work on Saturday, a
practice which has since con
tinued until the settlement of
the dispute this week.
Under the terms of the new
agreement between the union
and company management the
workers will work eight hours
for six days until May 5. There
after, the employees will return
to their previous schedule of
eight and one-half hours daily
and five hours on Saturday.
This will continue until Sep
tember 1, when the union has
agreed that the company may,
if it elects to do so, install the
six-day week of eight hours.
