 The Committee for Maritime Un- ity said the strike had been settled sufficiently for a resumption of work but that the employers had turned the walkout into a lockout by raising these issues and by de mands that the union drop it's S6,000G00 suit for retroactive pay.
 Step Toward Truce
 But settlement of the so-called steam schooner issue was consid- cred by both sides as definite step toward truce,
 Both sides agreed to leave the definition of steam schoonerS to arbitration and came to terms on the definition of steam schooner trade as that between Washington, Oregon, California, British Colum- bia and Alaskan ports but not in- cluding trade between Alaska and Puget Sound ports.
 The Alaska Puget Sound run was excepted because it is a regular ocean-going steamship route.

 The Longshoremen withdrew their demands for a division Of loading duties between CIO Long shoremen and AFL Sailors who op- crate the coastwise ships called steam schooners, and the GNU de- clared there remains no reason for the Longshore strike insofar as demands by the union are con- cerned.'
 However, the employers contended that remaining obstacles, besides withdrawal of the S6,O00,000 suit, were a guarantee that there would be no jurisdictional strikes; guarantee by the ILWU that the newly appointed Coast Arbitrator would be allowed to function inn mediately and give attention to all disputes that have stopped work in any port; and that all other labor port agreements be settled and signed concurrently with the ILWU agreement.

NAM Snubs
ConqreSS

WASHINGTON, July ! (LPA)
TO its long history of labor
hating and union busting the
Natl. Association of Manufac-
turers last week added the me-
morable distiction of thumbing
its nose at Congress.
The NAM was invited by the
House Labor Committee to pre-
sent its views before a special
subcommittee investigating the
basic causes of industrial dis
putes headed by Rep. A. B.
Kelley ID. Pa). CIO, AFL and
Railroad Brotherhoods leaders
were also invited and all ac-
cepted.
The NAM, however, risking a
contempt citation, snubbed the
request and in a surly letter to
Kelley asserted that "The NAM
does not believe that any fur
ther study should be used to de-
lay legislation correcting the
abuses which already are appar-
ent." The big business mouth
piece then referred the Congress
sional group to a copy of its anti
labor program which follows
closely along the lines of the
Case Bill.
Many Congressman were
shocked by this show of ar
rogance on the part of the NAM,
and Kelley promptly wrote in
reply, 1.-The subcommittee dis
likes to bring a charge of con-
tempt against the NAM and
hopes your decision may be re-
A week later the
NAM gave no indication that it
would accede to the courtesy
given to any Congress
sional group and appear to
testify.

Disclosure that the anti-labor
bureaucracy of the American
Legion has already chosen the
Legion's 1947 national COM
mander was made last week by
the Natl. Conference of Union
Labor Legionnaires.
To make matters worse, from
a union point of view, the man
selected by the Legion king
makers" has long been charged
with being the real author of
the now-repudiated supersenior-
ity theory eSpoused by Selective
Service Director Lwis Hershey.
The man named by the king
makers, it was reported, Is Col.
Paul H. Griffith of UniontoWn,
Pa, formerly Hershey's right
hand man but now a personnel
director for a large industrial
firm.
According to the current
Newsletter, published by the La
Dor Legionnaires, Griffith's Sc
lection was brought to light by
a staunch trade unionist, one of
the founders of the American
Legion who asked that his name
be kept secret for the present.
Named as the Clique of king
makers who chose Griffith were
these five: Frank Belgrano, of
California; William Doyle, of
of Illinois; William Stern, of the
Massachusetts,; Phil w. Collins,
Dakotas; johnson, of Alabama.

clared that it was the first time
in history that a srike had been
won agains the big firm. The
new contract follows the pat
tern set previously in settle

Vets Must
Join Too

NEW YORK, July / (LPA)-
A closed shop is a closed shop
and an employe in closed shop
must join the union and remain
in good standing whether he is
an ex-serviceman or not.
That in effect was the decision
of an arbitrator selected by
Local $50, Retail & Wholesale
Employes-CIO, and a local pho
tographic supply house to settle
a dispute over the reemploy-
ment rights of a veteran who re-
fused to join the union.
The ruling was hailed as a vic
tory by the CIO over Selective
Service interpretations which
have previously insisted that
union contract provisions shall
have no part in determining a
veterans unemployment rights.
The circumstances of the Local
$50 case were not altered, the ar
bitrator found, by the fact that
the closed shop agreement was
signed 80 days before the en-
ploye was drafted and that he re-
mained a non-union man during
those SO days.
The arbitrator's d. ecision,
which is expected to be prece-
dent-setting through out the
was based on these
