down to about 10 yards, and By
the end of the year the total will
drop to less than 80 yards (allfie-
ures including navy yards)." NO

management last Saturday at
Washington, d. G..
AT the close of the hearing Sat
urday the Commission issued a
directive ordering the hearing at
Pascagoula TO determine whether
the parties (union and manage
ment) have complied with the
Shipbuilding Commissions direc-
tive order dated October 8, 1913,
and to arrive at a method for dis

curing into the operation of the
grievance procedure in the con-
tract between the company and
unions.
The directive referred to above
was issued by the Commission on
October g., l943, following a hear
ing at Washington and denied a
previous request of the Metal
Trades Council for a union shop,
and inserted a provision in the
contract whereby the company
would urge employees covered by
the agreement to become men,
bers of their respective unions.
and would refer all new employ
ees to their proper union business
agent. The union agreed to Meth
er intimidate or coerce employees
into membership in the unions.
Contract Not Open
The present directive also de-
MED the Councils request in the
present strike vote grievances for
permanent passes into the ward
for Union representatives, holding
that the contract between the
yard and the unions is not open
and the issue cannot be properly
raised at this time.
The issue regarding the alleged
use of the Counselor system to
settle grievances outside the reg
ular grievance procedure was re-
ferred to the New Case Commit
tee of the NWLB Ito determine
whether the issue is in the juris-
diction of the NWLB.
No date has as yet been set by
the Commission for the hearing
here, but it was believed that it
would be called within the next
week or 10 days.
The Metal Trades Council was
represented at Washington by
E. l. Mancil, president, and Wal
ter Lowry, business agent for the
Boilermakers Union. ingalls,
management was represented by
Monro b. Lanier, president; w. r.
Guest, executive vice-president;
E. X. Hammett, comptroller, and
George Field, industrial and pub
lie relations director.
The hearing was presided over
by Jack G. Day, vice-chairman of
the commission, and the commits
sion was composed of five other
members, two each representing
industry and unions, and Mr.. Day
and another member representing
the public.
The Union Shop clause was the
chief issue involved in the re-
cent strike vote at the yard
called by the Metal Trades Coun-
ell under provisions of the Smith
Act. The strike vote
was carried by a more than two
to-one vote.

Club Is Told of
.Em0be's Needs
By Gretchen Smith

Although peace has come to Eu-
rope, shortage Of coal and lack of
transportation throughout countries
devastated by five years of war
threaten to make the approaching
winter one of continued suffering
James A. Stilwell, State Department
adviser on supplies to war areas,
told the Takoma Park Women's S
Club yesterday.
Guest speaker at the organiza-
tion's opening meeting at the Ia
koma Park Presbyterian Church,
Mr.. Stilwell, who recently "jeeped
throughout Europe" to learn what
had to be done to distribute supplies
to needy populations, explained
many of the troublesome issues in
volved in this great task.
Our No. / job is not food but
coal" he declared. 'Tne No. 2 PROP
lem Is transportation" he continued.
without coal, there can be no
transportation and without trans
portation there is no distribution. .
The speaker told how $50 900 tons
OF beets were lost in France last
year because of lack of transporta-
ton to convey the produce to fac
tories and, as a consequence, a
valuable supply of sugar was lost.
Sugar" he added, "is one of the
shortest items in the world today"
European farmers are doing ev-
erything possible to cultivate their
devastated fields, the speaker de-
clared.
Time after time, saw farmers
Iplowing fields where there were
warning signs of Mines" he COM
mented. There is no tendency to
shirking in spite of reports to the
contrary. The people of these areas
could produce the major amount of
food for themselves and with proper
transportation could make the most
of indigenous food supplies"
Although the United Kingdom
and Canada have supplied most of
the coal sent to the devastated
countries, there Is an insufficient
quantity to prevent suffering this
winter, Mr.. Stilwell declared.
Unless we can deliver 5000 900
tons of coal to Europe between now
and January, there is the possibility
OF much freezing" he warned.
While coal production has again
started in Germany, it has only
built up to about 10 per cent of
normal production, he explained.
by the middle of next summer
we hope production of Ruhr Valley
coal will be sufficient to take care
of Europe"
Mr.. Stilwell was introduced by
Mrs. Paul Burk, program chairman.
Mrs. Wilbur Youngman. newly
elected president, presided.
