QUESTIONS

/. Why are Russian assurances
that their troops are being remov-
ed from Iran, barring unforeseen
developments, not satisfactory to
the Iranian government
2. What negotiations are now 60
ing on between Russia and Iran?
8. Is the removal of Red Army
forces conditional upon these
negotiations?
Closed Session
The Council members agreed to
hold another public meeting on the
Iranian question at 3 pm. Friday
at Hunter college, interim United
Nations headquarters.
Thursdays closed session was
held in a United Nations office In
Rockefeller center.
Barring new information from
either Moscow or Tehran which
would substantially change the
situation, the procedure Friday
will be this:
The Iranian Ambassador Hus-
sein Ala, who Wednesday stated
his objections to the Russian re-
quest for a postponement of the
whole case until April 10, will be
asked to answer questions submit
ted by Polish Ambassador Oscar
Lange and also any other ques-
tions from council members.
Iranian To Withdraw
. The Iranian will then withdraw
from the council table and the 10
of II members, Russia being alb
sent, will have to decide what to
do next.
There is a possibility that at
that time another motion to post
pone the case may be made, ac-
cording to authoritative infor-
mants, but Thursdays session did
not produce any evidence that such
a motion definitely would be n& de.
If it is not, or if it is defeated,
it is then expected that Byrnes or
some other member will propose
that Russia and Iran be asked to
fill in the blank spaces in the in
formation on the Iranian case
which have been left by state
ments already made by ' Gromyko
and Hussein Ala.
Not In Motion Form
It is for this reason that the
three questions have been broadly
formulated, although not put in the
form of a motion yet for submits
sion.
How much time nigh: be given
for the answers to be sent in was
not clearly defined but majority
thinking of the council appeared to
support the idea of trying to get
the information over the weekend.
probably by next Tuesday or Wed
nesday.
It was not clear, either, exactly
how the request would be trans
mitted in the case of Russia but
it could be given to Gromyko who,
though he is absenting himself
from all discussions on Iran. has
thus far remained in New York
as member of the council.
One point made by persons
familiar with Thursdays meeting
is that while the weight of opinion
favored going ahead with the

Packard, Ford and Nash, turned

remove them"
Ford and Chrysler both con-
tended lin their letters of rejec-
ton, that suppliers' strikes were
holding UP production.
Reuther countered with the
statement that "a survey by the
UAW indicaes that the few
strikes current in auto parts and
auto supplier plants could not
posiblys account for the preesnt
olw levels of auto production.
Only a small number of UAW
plants are on strike, including a
number of farm equipment
plants which have absolutely
no effect on auto production.
The total effect of thew that
would affect car output is insig-
nificant. Yet the industry is
currently producing only 40 to
so per cent of its 1941 volume.
Whatever the reasons are"
said Reuther, "the UAW is just
as eager as management to get
the industry into maximum pro-
duction. Our members need the
work and the nation needs the
cars"
All the JAWS regional direc-

Case Strike
Enters 9Th Month

WASHINGTON Aug. 8 (LPA)
If President Truman needed
any further justification for
seizing the strikebound plants OF
the ]. l. Case farm equipment
company at Racine, Wis, Case
officials themselves practically
threw it in his face last week.
Truman was told that Leon
Clausen, 69-year-old Case presi-
dent, had in effect thumbed his
nose at a request of Labor Sec
retary Schwellenbaeh that the
company send representative to
Washington for a conference de-
signed to bring the seven-nonth
old strike to a conclusion.
AS arrogantly as he has de-
fled the union and previous gov
ernment attempts at conciliation
and arbitration, Clausen tele-
.graphed Schwellenbaeh that
There is no need for Washing
ton Intervention or for anyone
from the company coming to
Washington for collective bar
gaining meetings"
While Case continued in his
contemptuous attitude toward
both the government and the
union, 400 of his employees,
$500 of the in Racine, started
the eighth month of their strike.
Truman, meanwhile, kept locked
in his desk a seizure order pre-
pared by Schwellenbach on
June Is and ignored repeated
demands by three CIO and one
indepedent union for govern
ment operation.
Allan Haywood, CIO vice
president, told the CIO Farm
Equipment Workers convention
in Milwaukee last week, II call
on the President to do his duty,
and move in now and take thesa
plants so farmers can get neces-
ssry equipment to turn out food.
While Clausen refused to
come to Washington, four lead
ers of the United Auto Workers
CIO, representing the Case
strikers responded to the invita-.
tion and conferred with Labor
Dept. officials.

The AFL has made it clear

Demands

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 5 (LPA)
Big league baseball club own
ers who thought they could
stifle the growing interest of
their players in unionization by
holding a phony 'labor-manage-
ment" conference in New York
last week were given a shock
when they learned the demands
of the 16-man National League
players committee.
Taking several leafs from the
proposals of the American Base
ball Guild, first trade union in
the games history, the players
committee demanded: IA pen
sion plan. PA minimum salary
of $500. $50 days severance
pay and transportation home for
any dismissed player. 4-Spring
training expense allowance of SIS
day in addition to room, meal,
transportation and laundry ex-
penses now borne by the clubs.
5-Revision of the waiver sys-
tenn.
Propose Pension Plan
In Chicago a nine-rrnan Amer
lean League players committee
drew up a similar list of de-
mands. Marty Marion, of the
st. Louis Cardinals, proposed a
pension plan calling for pay
ments ranging from $50 to 500
per month based on the player s
length of service.
Meanwhile the baseball world
was waiting for the expected
recommendations of a Pennsyl-
vania Labor Relations Board ex-
aminer who will decide whether
the Board has jurisdiction over
dispute between the Baseball
Guild and the management OF
the Pittsburgh Pirates. The
Guild, with "a of the 20 Pirates
players signed up, has demanded
a collective bargaining election
Seward H. French, attorney
for the Pirates, claimed in a
brief filed with the state board,
that unionizaion of players
would destroy" the national
pastime. Demanding that the
ABG's election petition be dis
missed French contended that
even the harmful effects Of
discussion of labor unions, pro
and con, on the part of baseball
players" would wreck the game.
