Wards Serves Notice
If Will Take Seizure
Fight 10 High Court
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 9.-Montgomery
Ward g. Co. served notice today of
its intention to carry the legal fight
against Government seizure of
properties in seven cities to the
Supreme Court.
Company counsel asked a stay of
mandate from the Circuit Court of
Appeals, which yesterday in 2-to-1
decision held the seizure was legal.
A Wards lawyer said this action
informed the appellate court the
company intended to ask the high
court to hear the case, at the same
time preventing yesterdays decision
from becoming effective at least un-
til the Supreme Court agrees to or
refuses review. If the high court
takes the case, there could be no
ruling until next fall, as the Su-
preme Court adjourns for the sum-
mer next week.
May Answer Tomorrow.
United States Attorney J. Albert
Woll said he may have the Govern
ment answer to Wards latest move
ready for filing Monday.
Judges Evan A. Evans and Otto
Kerner yesterday declared President
Roosevelt's December % seizure Or
der was valid under the War Labor
Disputes Act, reversing District
Judge Philip L. Sullivan, who on
January 81 held that the President
had neither statutory nor conStitu-
tional authority for the order.
Judge Will M. Sparks of the appel
late court disSented, agreeing with
Judge Sullivan.
The bitterly contested case re-
solved about refusal of Wards and
its chairman, SeWell L. Avery, to
abide by War Labor Board di-
receives, which among other things
granted union workers maintenance
of membership. The company con-
tended these orders were merely ad-
visory, not legally enforceable, and
Mr.. Avery particularly opposed
membership maintenance as "a
form of the closed shop"
Back Pay Involved.
With the Army still in possession
OF the properties under Judge Sulli-
vans status quo order, Wards con-
tended today that unless the ap-
pellate court mandate was stayed
the Army would be in a position to
place in effect all provisions of WLB
orders. This would include, the
motion stated. one requiring pay
ment of back pay totaling $780,
600 out of net operating income.
The CIO United Retail, Whole
sale and Department Store En-
ployes Union has contended the
Army was not carrying out provi-
Sions of the WLB orders as called
for in President Roosevelt's seizure
order.
Col. R. Parker Kuhn, deputy War
D ep ar m ent representative in
charge of the properties, said to-
day; we shall proceed to apply
all terms of the executive order"

Three events have been sched-

Second, starting Thursday and
running through June %, mattresses
and other employees of 81 hotels
and of 81 restaurants will sell E
Bonds. Bond literature will be left
at each table, and each employe will
carry E Bonds with him. Each of
the 81 business organizations will
give a bond to its employe selling
the most bonds. The employe lead
ing the estimated 10000 workers
in the contest will receive a bond

from 10 am. to pm. next Sunday,
the public may inspect the exterior

In Session Held
AT White House

WASHINGTON (LPA) Aug.
27-At White House confer
ence last week, first steps were
taken toward calling the pro-
posed labor-management confer
ence on relations in peacetime.
Another meeting of union and
employer representatives is now
scheduled for Sept 5.
At the White House session
were CIO President Philip Muir
ray, AFL President William
Green, Eric Johnston, president
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce; Ira Mosher, presi-
dent of the National Association
of Manufacturers; John w. Sny-
der, director of the Office of
War Mobilization and Recover
sion, and Labor Secretary Lewis
Schwellenbach.
Agreement that careful prep
aration of a conference agenda,
and inclusion of other labor and
industrial groups = presumably
to take in the railroad brother
hoods and miners-are essential
to success of the conference, was
reported by Secretary Schwel-
Ienbach.
AS reported by the CIO, Sec
retary of Commerce Henry Wal
lace will be called into future
planning sessions to serve as one
of the government representa-
tives on the body.
No agreement on the time of
the conference itself, or on the
scope of the discussion, has yet
been reached, SchWellenbach
made clear.
The proposal for such a con-
ference has been made by Presi-
dent Truman, who believes that
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT peace is es-
sential to successful transition
from a war economy to a peace
time one.
Still lying dormant is the La
bor-Industry Peace c harter
drawn up last spring by repre-
sentatives of the c. of c., AFL
and CIO. The NAM never went
along in this statement of the
requisites for industrial peace,
and this fact is expected to be
stumbling block to reaching any
agreements this time.
