NLRB Sets August 70
For Opening Of Elections
AT Three Atomic Plants
Final Step Long Series of Negotiations Reached Giving
Employees Privilege of Voting

Washington, D. C.-Collective bar
gaining elections at the three atomic
bomb processing plants at Oak Ridge,
Tenn, have been set for August 20,
81 and % by the National Labor Re-
lations Board following application by
the American Federation of Labor.
They will be held under the super
vision of Charles M. Brooks, special
NLRB representative
The elections will be held at Mon
santo Chemical Company, Tennessee
Eastern Corporation, and Carbide
& Carbon Chemical Corp. The en-
ployes Of the three companies will
be polled separately.
The NLRB said that the balloting
represented 'the final step in a long
series of negotiations which required
the utmost close cooperation of the
Army, the companies, the unions, and
the boards agent in order to afford
the employees the privilege Of voting
and at the same time prevent the re-
lease of classified information"
Petitions seeking NLRB determina-
tion of employe representatives at

Warning Is Issued
To Owners OF Dogs

Police were ordered today to arrest
persons violating the dog quarantine
and violators were warned that they
would be fined $50 and costs if brought
to court.
In a written notice to the police de-
partment, Police Chief John O. Cal
houn instructed his men to watch for
dogs running loose and ascertain the
owners name either through inquiries
or by following the dogs. He told the
officers to warn the owners the first
time and to cite them to court if they
failed to obey the quarantine regula-
tions.
Calhoun cited numerous complaints
and promised that prosecution would
follow in all cases of arrests.

keep their pets tied or confined. The
only dogs permitted on the streets are

the AFL in 1914. Because Of the
secrecy Of operations, the board said
the cases should not be processed at
that time.
This year the Secretary of War re-
quested the board to determine wheth-
er elections could be conducted with
out endangering security, for which
reason the board could not process
the cases through the regular chan
nels of it's regional office. Instead, the
NLRB appointed Daniel J. Leary, a
member of it's legal staff then and Mr..
Brooks as it's special representative
to investigate and report.
After an inquiry of several weeks,
joint conferences among the parties
were held. Some issues remained in
dispute, SO the parties agreed that
the board should decide them without
public hearing, and that all would be
bound by the decisions.
Paul M. Herzog, NLRB chairman,
visited the plants, then summoned the
union and company representatives
and spokesman for the Army to a
conference, at which the details were
worked out.

Chicago. = Intensification of the
AFL's political activities in the COM
ing Congressional campaign will be
one of the top subjects on the agenda
of the midsummer meeting of the
Executive Council which opens here
August 12
Concerned over the many failures
of the 10th Congress to approve mea-
sures on the "must" list of organiz-
ed labor, and disturbed by repeated
Congressional attacks on labor's basic
freedoms, the leaders of the American
Federation of Labor are determined to
mobilize the full strength of the Fed
eration's seven million members this
Fall to elect law-making body more
responsive to the peoples needs.
1t was emphasized, however, that
despite garbbed newspaper reports, the
AFL does not contemplate setting up
a political action" committee.
Following it's traditional non-parti-
san political course, the Federation is
expected to concentrate it's efforts on
getting out the labor vote in favor
of candidates who have been indorsed
on the basis of their voting records.
Other important and current mat
ters to be decided by the Executive
Council include:
formulation of domestic pro-
gram to prevent initiation and guard
against future depression.
Accommodation of policies to
further the cause of world peace.

determination of policy with re-
gard to AFL representation in the

Besides these pressing issues, the
Executive Council will be required to
prepare two-year report to the forth
coming 65th national convention of
the American Federation of Labor,
which is scheduled to open in this city
October T. The Executive Council did
not prepare report for 1945 last year
because the convention had to be can
celled due to wartime travel restric-
tions.
The sorry record of the 10th Con-
gress on domestic issues will be re-
viewed in detail by the Executive
Council. Most disappointing to labor
were the failure of Congress to adopt
effective price control legislation and
it's surrender to lobbyist pressure
against the Wagner Ellender- Taft
long-range housing bill.
Other serious mistakes by Congress
included failure to improve the un-
employment insurance system, refusal
to lift the national minimum wage
level, and complete inaction on legis-
lation to broaden social security and
to inaugurate Federal health insur-
ance.

leadership, or, and this is just as i'm
portant, present the views of the
"loyal opposition. Union members
must become articulate. They must
be able to be a competent accurate
voice for their fellow workers, present
ing facts clearly, logically and dispas-
sionately, not only in their union but
in the community.
They must look upon the world as
a whole, realizing the inter-depend-
ence of group upon group, nation upon
nation. Too many union members act
as though they still thought the world
was flat. They must take their part
in solving the larger problems that
confront all honest, good-seeking men
and women today. They must join in
as citizens, not thinking or caring
whether their companion in the SER
vice of this great union of free men
be Protestant, Jew or Catholic, Black
or White, employer or worker.
The power of union comprised of
such men is unlimited. Through coop
erative organization they shall obtain
power, but that power must not be
used for themselves alone, but for the
good of all. They must establish them
selves as strong force for right
and justice to all men. In that way
and that way alone lies a peaceful
and prosperous future, for democracy,
for the union Of states which is the

British Forces Leaving Greece

LONDON, Sept. 4,-(P)-A Brit ish Foreign Office spokesman said today that some British forces were being withdrawn from Greece but official quarters said troops will be kept in the Hellenic king dom for some time"
 The present reshuffle is "the first installment of a general with drawal from Greece" it was said at the Prime Minister Attlee's residence, but complete evacua- tion as demanded by Greek left ists and Soviet Russian spokesmen depends upon "a number of fac tors"
 The Foreign Office spokesman said the present withdrawal was a part of a general regrouping of British forces in the Middle East.
 He declined to give the number of men being moved out of Greece. The latest announced strength of British forces in the Hellenic king dom was at least 50,000.
 King George II today awaited personal invitation from Prem fer Tsaldaris to return to the Greek throne in Athens.

 Alaska To Join Northwest Group

SEATTLE, Sept. 4-(P)- Head quarters of Pacific Northwest Un- ited's interim committee reported today that Mayor Earl Riley of Portland invited Alaska to join the regional organization in talk at Anchorage before his return to Seattle by air last Midnight.
 Riley, Chairman of the P.N.U. interim committee, warned AL askans, however, against getting involved in the inter-city picker ing that once marked Seattle Portland and Pacific Northwest States rivalries.
 "Thresh out your problems to- gether, organize your program and then come in" to P.N.U. he told them.
 There never has been a discus sion in any meeting of Pacific Northwest United that didn't in- clude the needs of Alaska and your neighbor to the south, Brit ish Columbia. We don't think any broad general program for Pacific Northwest promotion is complete without you."
 He said Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana "intend to forge a solid bloc that can act as a unit inside and outside of Con- gress," and added: "We are one

50 Ships Tied Up Sound Ports In AH-cOast Strike

SEATTLE, Sept. 4, -(P)-Fifteen hundred seamen walked off ap- proximately 50 ships at Puget Sound ports today at the start of an all-coaSt maritime strike.
 Shipping lines rushed to remove perishables from ships as striking seamen, members of the sailors union of the Pacific and Seafar- CTS International Union, AFL- fafiliates, announced plans to pick ct the entire waterfront at ' am. tomorrow.
 The Merchants Exchange esti- mated 75 active" ships were tied up here, of which between 40 and 50 will be affected. the other ships are army and navy transports, About a dozen other active" ships are lying in other Sound ports.
 M. c. Ringenberg, president of tSe Waterfront Employers of Washington, estimated the tieup would cost business millions of dollars in Seattle" Shipments of oil and gasoline, the bulk of which comes from California by water, will stop, he said, but dealers are well stocked. The lumber in dustry will be hard hit.
 kVessels sailing between here and Alaskan ports will be permitted to complete their runs and return here, Ed Coester, Seattle agent of the SUP, said. Ships run ming only in Alaska waters and plying between Alaska ports, how ever, were also to be tied up to- day, he added.

ALL COAST SHIPPING TIE UP

UNDATED Strikes -iPD- The Wage Stabilization Board appear ed to be under fire from both sides today in the AFL Seafarers In ternational Union wage dispute as John Hawk, union president, said a strike of from 94,OO0 to 100000 sailors was all set for Thursday.
 Meanwhile, a promise to boost the allotment of new Nash cars for sale to it's own WOrkmen from II to F weekly ended the week-old work stoppage at the Nash-Kel- vinator Corporation plant in Mil Waukee, but truching operators in New York City refused to Oudge from their earlier offer un- less the strikers negotiate ''on a reasonable basis"
 In the seamen's case, both the sailors and the Pacific Employers Association that they stand to lose gains won during the summer if the order of the Wage Stabiliz- atiOn Board of Aug. 23 is con- tinued in effect.
 The WISE order approved a wage increase of up to S17.50 a month for the seamen, holding any amount above that figure to be inflatiOnary. But the AFL sail ors already had negotiated a con- tract with the Pacific American Shipowners Association providing for an increase of S22.5O a month, and for $2750 with the Atlantic and Gulf Coast agents. J. B. Bryan, president of the Pacific Employers group, contend ed that in negotiating the S22. 90 increase the seamen agreed to drop some 70 other demands which probably would have cost the ship ping companies considerably more than the S5 difference in base bay, and that if the pay cut-back stands the other demands might be re- instated.
 The CIO National Maritime Un- ion pledged it's support to an AFL strike which a Maritime Commis- sion spokesman said would mean nationwide shutdown.
 New York was faced with threats of food shortages as Jos eph M. Adelizzi, chairman of the Wage Scale Committee, predicted the trucking tieup would reach 100 per cent today. The truck CTS are demanding a wage increase of 30 per cent. The employers countered with an offer of S3 a week.

cussing Southern industrial progress
we must understand what industrial
progress Is. There are only three ele-
ments to mans material progress
natural resources, human energy ana
tools. The South has always had good
natural resources and plentiful labor.
What it lacks is good tools Of produce
ton. The key, therefore, to the i'm
provement Of the South Is the i'm
provement of its tools. In other words,
the South must "attract capital. Our
question. then, is: Will unionization
of Southern labor attract capital to
the South? II unions demand wages
equal with the North, the South would
be handicapped for two reasons: I'd
Factories are farther away from the
market and ca for climatic and
otker reasons, production per worker
is, as rule, not as high in the South
as in the North. The wage differen-
tial between the North and the South
has admittedly been too great, but Il
is far better to increase workers
wages from 40c to zoe an hour ana
! provide continuous employment, than
to try to raise It from 40c to $l.0O an
hour and ;nil to provide employment.
( The South established a fourishing
furniture industry because it pro-
duced furniture at less-than-North-
ern wages and yet benefited the
worker tremendously. The South 10
now making steady progress, and la
! Dor union leaders should carefully
study this progress in the light of the
workers best interests.
DIR. MITCHELL CHALLENGES:

low wages. Many large industrial en-
ployers pay more in the North, less
in the South. bargain with unions in

Of Southern labor. Industry has had
loas history in the South. The ques-
ttor now is the standards to be es-
:.bIshed there. For the good Of the
South and the nation these should DO

DIR. RAAKE REPLIES: It's true the
South Is developing its own markets
for the simple reason that it's produc-
ing more goods. The South has con-
safasd 80 little In the past because II
Gag produced so little; this low pro.
duction was primarily the result Of

! capped workers. The South needs
industry badly to absorb the workers

cultural labor-sav:ng devices. No trub
friend OF the Southern worker will
handicap Southern disqualification
by forcing production costs to point
where the Scuth's present advantages
are sacrificed.
