Ganiry Operators
Walkout Over
LaYoH Dispute

Members of Local 625 of the
international Union Of Operating
Engineers, who man the gan
tries, cranes and other essetial
machinery in the ingalls, ship.
Yards conducted a walk-out at
one p. m. Thursday to protest
against the company's system of
layoffs in the department.
Fourteen night operators were
recently laid off as q result Of
abolition of the general night
shift in the yards, the company
said. According to the company,
the union entered negotiations
with the company seeking to
place white men in the jobs of IL
Negro operators of overhead
cranes on the day shift, who are
also members of the union.
c. w. Earl, business agent for
the local, said that union de-
mands were not presented in this
way during the negotiations. but
that the union, from the begin
ming of the discussion, had ask
ed only that three of the white
operators be placed in the day
Jobs and that no more Negroes
be taught the craft, so that the
remaining Negroes would even
tually be replaced by white oper-
ators as they left the work.
1t was pointed out by COM
panv negotiators that the Brazil
ian ship contracts and all of the
big work in the yards were
signed by the company under
the jurisdiction of the United
States Maritime Commission, and
that these contracts contain the
same anti-discrimination clauses
which were in effect during the
war under a presidential order.
The order is still in effect.
The union demands were final
ly formulated during a three hour
meeting of the local Thursday
afternoon. AT this meeting the
union limited its demands to the
placing of three or more" of
the laid-off white operators in
overhead crane jobs on the day
shift, which are now held by
Negroes, the replacement to be
made on the basis of seniority.
In addition the union demanded
that IN place of a single stand
by operating engineer on the
night shift, the yard employ one
standby gantry operator who
will not be called on to work on
more than three gantries in one
night; one groundman to oper-
ate mobile cranes; and one
switchman to operate the switch
ing engines.
c. w. Earl. business agent of
the local, said the walk-out was
supported bv the men 100 per-
cent" and that the union would
not return until its demands
We're met, although it did not
contemplate establishing a picket
line. Key members Of manage
ment personnel were out of the
city early Thursday but were ex-
pectcd back later in the dav, al
which time company n%egotiators
had hopes that the issue could
be Strengthened out before the
absence of operators in the vital
gantry jobs necessitated general
shutdown.

On Lunch Contract
AT Meeting Today

| The Board Of Education was to
meet in special session this after
noon at the Franklin Administration
Building to act on a contract neces-
sary for the schools participation
in the national school lunch pro-
gram.
The meeting was called yesterday
following the failure to obtain
unanimous consent of board MEM
bers on the contract. Action was
blocked by Adelbert w. Lee, who
said the program smacked Of
Specialization"
Mr.. Lee held up action on the
program once before when he moved
that the board delay a decision until
after all members had read the
contract.
The application of eight schools
for participation in the program
await board action. Under the
National School Lunch Act schools
are reimbursed from 2 to 9 cents
per meal from Federal allotment
Of $209 1874 on meals served at their
cafeteriaas. Children unable to pay
must be fed free of charge.
The board approved the schools
participation in the program Sep
tember II. However, individual con-
tracts must be signed by the school
principals with the District Govern
ment before the grants can be OBJ
tanned. These contract provide for
the District to reimburse the schools,
and the city collects from the Agri-
culture Department, which adminis-
tiers the program.

pI ssent. when the board gave its
overall approval, adding that his
objection was based on a dislike Of

"the schools got along very well
before we had this school lunch act" /"
Individual schools may partici-
pate or not according to their wishes
under board decision. Five schools
took part in the program last year,
and at least two of these have re-
ported financial distress as q result
OF this years delays. These schools
continued to offer pupils the lower

All the rightist parties came out

they represent a majority.
Koreans are Mortified at the idea,

Following the turbulent demon

trusteeship, under orders from out
side Northern Korea. The impress

from Moscow, he said.

said the only progress made by the

has been an interchange of mail
between the two zones.
Rice is the greatest need in the
Russian zone and fertilizer is in
demand in the American zone to
increase crop production, he ex-
planned. Although the Russians
offered $4,000 tons Of fertilizer they
would accept payment only in rice.
