MurphyAsks Bucs Probe

Harrisburg, Pa, June 26-(UP)- -t The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board today received a petition from Robert Murphy of Boston, di- rector of the American Baseball Guild, requesting an investigation of the Pittsburgh PireSes Baseball Club to determine a colleStive bar gaining agent for the players.
 Board Secretary Jacob B. Bryer- ton said that hearing will be held in Pittsburgh, probably next Tues day, to take testimony. TR board will then decide whether it has Jurisdiction over the case, and if so, whether to order a collective bargaining election among players of the National League club.
 Murphy. in his petition, did not charge the Pirates with unfair labor practices, but merely asked for an investigation of the club to deter mine the collective bargaining agent. He said that majority of the approximately 30 employees were members of the Guild.
 Filing of the petition came nine days after Murphy asked for forms from the board. Under board pro- cedure, cases usually are disposed of within two or three weeks from the time an election is requested.
 Murphy recently accused the Pi- rate management of attempting to bypass the Guild through a play CTS committee.
 The National Labor Relations Board dismissed a similar A.B.G. petition on the ground that it was uncertain whether it had jurisdic- ton over bargaining activities of baseball teams. Earlier, Murphy led an unsuccessful attempt to or ganize . strike prior to New York Giants game at Pittsburgh early this month.

CIO South Drive
Is Progressing

ASHIN NG T o N, Aug. 2U
GPA)-The CLOS southern or
ganizing drive has produced II
NLRB election victories since
the campaign started late in
May, Director Van A. Bittner

80 petitions for NLRB certifi-
cation are now pending.

collective bargaining units con-
sist of between 10000 and H.
900 workers. "Only two or
three of these units" he report
ed, contained more than 1000

still ahead of us. The largest
scheduled for the near future
will be at Oak Ridge, Tenn,
Aug. 2O-22, where about 1900
atomic workers are expected to
cast ballots"
Among IA new victories were

.UE Group
Eiah+s CPS

PITTSBURG, Aug. Is (LPA)
- Pre-convention organization
of a group within the United
Electrical Radio & Machine
Workers-CIO to stop the UE
from going "to its own destruc-
ton as front for the Commu-
mist Party" was announced here
last week following a two-day
meeting of the "UE Members
for Democratic Action"
Sighting for the Sept. 9 Mil
waukee convention of the UE,
the new group, headed by In
ternatioal Vice-president Harry
Block, of Philadelphia, issued a
statement of principles" say
ing that the union had reached
-1 crisis in its affairs" The state
ment posed these possible
choices: "1-Returning the UE
to ranks of respectable C1O
unions with sound union OBJ
jectiveS. 2-AlloWlng the UE
to hurry along to its own de-
struction as a front for the Com
munist Party and its program. !"
The declaration continued:
There is no middle road. The
membership of UE is over
Whelmingly non-communlstlc.
These members have waited
patiently for their national Of
ficers to give them sound CIO
leadership. Instead the UE
members know that they are
being publicly stigmatized as
Communists - which they are
not. This has come about be-
cause of the actions of minor
ity that has seized control of
the national office, the eXecu-
tive board, the paid staff, the
union newspaper and some dis
trict councils and locals"

Ford TO Poy
For Mistake

DETROIT (LPA)-The Ford
Motor Company's insistence on
following anti-union super
seniority theories, invalidated
recently by the u. S. Supreme
Court, will cost the company
plenty when it comes to pay off
its employees who lost earnings
through layoffs or demotions.
A ruling by Harry Shulman,
Ford-UAW umpire, held that
Ford must make up for finan-
cial losses suffered by its en-
ployes affected by supersenior-
ity following a repudiated in
depreciation of the law made by
Selective Service Director Lewis
Hershey in May, 1914. The
amount of money Ford workers
will collect is expected to be the
largest by far yet recovered un-
der Supreme Court decision.

The weathermsn was very
unkind to us last week and
rained out our picnic. The next
date set for it is Saturday, Aug.
81. Plan to be there.
Lefty" Cook, Dept. 40, de-
cided to go into the pork raising
business and purchased four
nice little piggies last month.
Last week he discovered he has
one sow and three boars.
Has any one ever seen H.

arctic outside the shop? Know
why?
Our softball team played in
the playoffs last week at High
land Park and lost. 1t not only
is our opinion, but most of the
other customers who were heard
saying that we had the better
team on the field and defeated
ourselves by over-anxiety. Better
luck next time boys.
What nationality is our Chair
man? He has been on his vaca-
ton for two long weeks and not
one postcard was received. We
can guess. Understand he was
all set for the picnic. Free, you
know. Mr.. Mac Birtwhistle.
You fellows who were always
criticizing the cigars Mr.. Benson
smokes were probably right. We
know for a fact he smoked
cigar seasoned with chopped up
rubber bands and never batted
an eye. In fact he declared it
was a Csc smoke.
Don't forget to get down to
your meeting Sunday, August
25th. Many important issues are
being brought up at these meet

Your reporter is on his vaca.

TUG Urges
Big Parade
Ask For Record Labor
DoV Demonstration

Members of the CIO Labor
Day P ara d e committee are
unanimous in urging the mem
bers of their affiliated unions to
make the Labor Day Parade this
year one of the finest in CLOS
history according to Richard La
zette, TIUC president.
This year, when our MEM
bers are working under nearly
normal conditions in their shops
we feel that they will turn out
and show their solidarity in
large numbers" he said.
Last years parade, while one
on the largest ever staged by
CIO did not come up to expec-
tations due to the growing un-
employment brought about by
the end of the war, explained
Mr.. Lazette. This year, when
our members are nearly all back
at work we expect that they will
turn out like they did during
the war years"
Many CIO Locals and Units
are stressing the Importance of
the parade as a means of show
ing CLOS strength and unity
and again this year there will
be many significant banners and
other features emphasizing the
importance of political action,
urging rollback of prices and
other subjects in which Toledo
CIO and labor in general is in
tereSted.

need to show each other and the
people of Toledo that Labor Day
is the one day in the year when
you show by your participation
in the parade that you are proud
of your organization, the same
as your union is proud of you.
Make it a date and we'll be see
ing you and walking with you

PAC memberships are coming
along in fine shape in our shop,
but there is still plenty of room
for improvement. That little
buck you spend can do mighty
big job even with inflated prices.
You can get your moneys worth
by joining PAC and doing your
part to rid the country of the
political garbage whose presence
in Washington has become a
stencil in the nostrilS of the plain
people. 1t costs you just one
buck, but the benefits can be
worth many times that amount.
Don't wait to be asked, but ask
your steward or committeeman
for membership card.
APOLOGIES
We apologize for not having
more news about the folks in the
shop, but you can bear with us
until that old news-hawk, that

porter, Claude Hess gets back.
Maybe we'll get some personal
stuff for the next issue, but
chances are that we won't.

But the sorest foot probably is
the one that Wayne Hall ran

foot. We send him the wish that
he recovers rapidly.

Saturday night at the home of

A corn roast was evidently en-
joyed by all. The highlight of
the evening was when Toots sat
on cake of ice and jingled his
small change to simulate sleigh
bells, so he could keep cool.
