This Reader Sick
OF Election Promises

Of Election Promises
Editor: Mr.. Harry G. Jensen,
who wrote to your paper last week
and asked what right you had to
criticize Stassen, is a member of the
old school of sanctimonious Repub-
licans who believe their party pets
can do no wrong. If he signed his
real name he had his nerve daring
to let people know his identity. l
am a Negro and l voted Republican
for years up until the last election
when got sick of hearing rosy
promises with no action to back
them up after the election was over.
The Democrats have not done any
better as far as the colored man is
concerned. The Communists push
their fy-by-night theories down
peoples threats instead of letting
them accept them. 1t looks like the
salvation of the Negro lies in voting
on past action and not fancy prom
ises that evaporate into thin air.
There is not a greater voting min
ority in America today than the
100000 Negroes we have in the
country, even if a great many of US
are denied the right by the poll tax.
Returning servicemen are not going
to be bamboozled by the stuff Mr..
Jensen and his kind hand out.
If your paper wants to criticize
Stassen or anybody else, go ahead
and do it. That is why your paper
is valuable. We already have too
many colored people and newspa-
pers who can be bought out by fac
tions or by the lure of the dollar.
More power to you, sir!

Hope He's Not Deferred

Many young veterans Of World
War II are of leadership timber.
One such person had a long talk
with the editor of this paper the
other day. He has been back home
for four months now. He came
back full of ambition to be of serv-
ice to his community and it's peo-
pie. He had saved his money. His
family is in good shape and he
returned to a good job. Most of
all, however, he wanted to serve
in the civic field. He plunged right
into work but already he's a little
puzzled.
He's puzzled because of the leth-

Dear Mother you are not forgotten

he found that there is not much
satisfaction from the leadership
role except in the individuals con-
science or sometimes his personal
vanity. This CT was not one who
actually sought to lead but he
wanted most of all to be useful
by following. We perceived in him
the leadership calibre and we hope
his early brush with the indiffer-
ence, suspicion, jealousy Of too
many people does not deter him
continuing his interest in the bet

Bargaining Units

When a question of choosing a bargaining representative arises, the discussion of it seldom gets far unless it is first decided what em- ployees are to be represented. Will they be all who work for the em- ployer in question, all who work in one plant, or only one group or class of workers with all others excluded? The unit or constitu- ency finally decided on is known technically as the appropriate unit"
 The question of the appropriate unit is one of the most controver- sial in the field of labor relations. The National and State Labor Re- lations Boards are empowered by law to settle it in relation to each matter of representation coming before them. From their rulings have emerged certain general prin- ciples illustrated in the following situations.
 In deciding whether employees should be divided into two or more electoral constituencies or treated as a single unit, this one principle carries greater weight than any other: When a valid collective bar gaining agreement has established a unit of any type, that unit will not be disturbed by the Labor Board. This principle recognizes that the wishes of employees as crystallized in practice are para mount. (4LRR Man. 392)
 If there is a dispute over the question whether production en- ployees should be classed together in one unit or should be divided into two or more units, the Nation al Labor Relations Board will or dinarily set up separate grups if:
 They have history of bargain ing as separate groups in the past @ LRR Man. 179);
 They do entirely different kinds of work @ LRR Man. 59 12 LRR 792);
 They require different kinds of training or skill e LRR Man. 34);
 Their pay and hours are marked ly different GA LRR Man. 79);
 They have acted independently in the event of strike @ LRR Man. 390).
 Where these considerations are evenly balanced, the wishes of the employees themselves, as ex- pressed at directed election or

a single unit while a craft union
 argues that workers belonging to it's craft should bargain separately, the decision, if other factors are equal, is ordinarily left with the craft enn- ployees. If they choose the in. dustrial union to represent them along with the other production workers, they will be merged in the plant unit. If they choose the craft unit, they will be given the privilege of bargaining in separ- ate unit with the craft union az their spokesman. This principle of self-determination of craft units is known as the Globe Doctrine, have ing been first laid down in the case of the Globe Machine and Stamp" ing Company. GA LRR Man. 122O

Facts for Workers

The adamant refusal of an en- ployer to formulate conditions de- termining layoffs has been held to be refusal to bargain under de- cisions of New York Courts. The employers insiStence that the con- ditions could not be formulated in advance and his unwillingness to leave the subject to arbitration were considered by the New York Labor Relations Board, sustained by the courts, r. ldicate that the employer was It bargaining in good faith. 13 LRR 109).
 Practically all attempts by an employer to deprive the employees lawful bargaining agent of recogni- t1oG, credit, or consideration due 1t are likely to be held a refusal Go bargain. Examples are:
 l. Declining to incorporate a spe- c1fic recognition clause or to prom tse performance of duties required by law on the plea that the exist ence of law renders such under taking superfluous; c LRR Man. 153, 534; g LRR Man. 21D.

provide an escape where the con- trolling interest remains the same. GA LLR Man. 416.)
 The duty of an employer to bar gain includes the duty to see that all grievances are handled through the union which is the lawful bar gaining agent. It is true that the Wagner Act asserts the right of any employee individually to bring grievances to his employer, but the Labor Board has interpreted this assertion to refer to the way in which grievances may be present ed, not to the way in which they may be settled. NOn-members of contracting union must, therefore, no less than members, have their grievances handled by the union. d1 LRR 220.)

otherwise, constitute the determin- ing factor (1-A LRR Man. 122).

otherwise, constitute the determin- ing factor d-A LRR Man. 122). If two plants of the same com pany, even in close proximity, have previously had different arrange ments in bargaining, the employees in one being represented by an out side union and those in the other being unorganized or represented by a plant union, the employees in both plants will not ordinarily be permitted to form a single unit for bargaining purposes GA LRR Man. 259).
 Even if two plants owned by. a single employer are widely Separat- ed in space, employees in both of them may be classed as a single unit If they do the same kind of work and the employer has previ- ously treated them as a single group in the matter of wages and hours. @ LRR Man. 457.)
 Frequently the extent to which unionization has proceeded is a factor in determining the appro- priate unit. For example, single plant in which union has enlist ed members may be set up as a unit separate from nearby plant operated by the same employer in which no employees are members, even though, both were union ized, the Labor Board might have grouped them together in one unit. This principle, however, will not be carried to the point where the composition of the unit is arbitrary, presenting no clearly definable group of employees. (8 LRR Man. IF, II LRR 758)
 Employees of two different com panies may at times be classed in one unit. This is most likely to oc- cur when the companies are under one management or have inter- locking directorates and if the plants are in close proximity, ire quent interchange of workers talk ing place. e LRR Man. 386, 519)

2. Insisting that members of a defeated inside union should be present at bargaining conferences; @ LRR Man. 200)
 3. Disrespectful reception of the unions committee @ LLR Man. 203).
 An employer may not evade the duty to bargain with an organi- zation of his employees by the de- vice of removing his plant to new location. A company found to have moved its business to a new loca- tion for the purpose of evading this duty may be required to reinState the employees and to pay their moving expenses in addition. 6 LRR Man. 210)
 Even if a new corporation is formed to take over the business of one desiring to escape the necessity of dealing with a union, the ob1i- gation may rest on the new corpor- ation to carry out the duty of the old one. Reincorporation does not

Horses Best Friend Is a Dog

Murray and Anne Baxter, the shep-
herd explains the situation to Smoky
by demonstrating.
"Shep Strayed into the corral one
day when was starting to train
Smoky and he caught on quick"
said Jack Lindell, the equine super
visor. Every day he'd show up
at 6 am, just about on the dot,
and help me with Smoky. When
I'd wave my hands to show Smoky
I wanted him at the far end of
the field, Shep would take him right
down there and keep him there,
wagging his tail and waiting to see
what I wanted next.
THAT horse and dog became great
pals. When we started for the Utah
location, I left Shep behind. Smoky
was so nervous that morning we
couldn't get him to work. ! guess
he thought we'd lost Shep. I told
King We couldn't get along with
out that dog"
The only trouble with Shep, Lin
dell said, was that they taught
Smoky his scenes in chronological
order, according to the script, but
the company has been jumping
around, like magazine reader. This
not only confuses Shep, but also
Smoky. Both want to 60 into the
next sequence. as scheduled.
People talk about the love Of a
man and his dog" Lindell said, but
the love of horse and dog is just
as wonderful. At night Shep sleeps
in an empty stable next to Smoky,
and once when the horse got I'LL in

grinning, ito get dog trained to
round up the so-called human ac-
tors and chase them to their spots"
Who says that silent screen stars
can't talk? Ask Preston Sturges If
you want the real answer. Sturges
wrote and is producing and direct
ing picture called THE Sin of
Harold Diddlebock," and playing
the title role is Harold Lloyd, who
hasn't made picture in seven
years.
But act!" gloats Sturges. "And
talk! We've made scenes that have
run as long as seven-and-a-h half
minutes and he hasn't missed a line
or a cue. There are lots of difficult
speeches in this script. I know, be-
cause I wrote it. But Harold has
been absolutely wonderful"
This isn't Lloyd first talking pic
ture, OF course. But it is his first in
which he is something more than a
comedian. There is plenty of drama
and pathos in the story and Sturges
insist that Lloyd is giving a great
performance. You can check for
yourself on this about January 1.
