 AMERICAN LEGION Comman- der John Stelle's strange notions of labor relations were given a jolt in St. Louis last week when National Labor Relations Board trial exam iner recommended that the NLRB find the McLeansboro Brick & Shale Co. guilty of unfair labor practices.
 Charges were brought against Stelle's company by the AFL Hod Carriers which found the Legion head refusing to bargain with them.

He also recommended that the company re- instate 27 men with back pay to May, l945, and proceed to deal with the new organization.

Truman Spurns Labor's s Plea For Session
Price Raises, Housing Crises Do Not Make Emergency,
 President Says

Washington LPA) Organized labor's demands for a special ses- sion of Congress to enact new legis- lation dealing with the housing crisis, price controls and other ''un- finished business were given the cold shoulder last week by Presi- dent Truman.
 Labor leaders request for the spec ia1 session was joined by number of Congressmen including Sen. James Mead (D., N. Y.) who wanted Con- gress to reconvene for an extra ses- sion to enact the Wagner -Ellender- Taft housing bill. Other senators pointed out that the special session could also take action on such import ant matters as the 65c minimum wage bill and extension of social security benefits.
 Truman told press conference that he had no intention of recalling Con- gress immediately after the election because no emergency now exists. However, it was Truman himself who brought up the possibility of special session when he signed the OPA bill ill July At that time he declared that he would reconvene Congress in ad- vance of its regular session if the safe guards against imitation were found inadequate.
 His indifference to labor and Congressional demands for a spec ial session made it clear that the President believes that prices have not yet reached the runaway stage despite labor's contentious to the contrary.

GROUNDWORK" LAID

GROUNDWORK LAID
 The convention was a working convention, and what it may have lacked in drama was more than made up by earnest, hard-headed thinking about the many problems which confront organized labor at this time. A good groundwork was laid in preparation for the attack on these problems.
 Under the guidance of President Timothy M. Collins and Secretary Treasurer Joseph M. Rourke, both of whom were reelected without oppo- sition, a record number of resolutions were adopted; a basic program for the ensuing year was hammered out ; and broad policy was decided upon. The per capita tax for affiliated To- calls was increased from four to five cents; the constitution was amended to have the executive board include a vice-president at large; and author ization was given for the setting up of a temporary State Federation office in Hartford while the General As senlbly is in session.
 POLICY DECISIONS
 These are some of the policy deci- sions of the convention:
 l. Organization will be continued and expanded, if possible.
 9 PoIiticaI activity uudar +ha direction of the Federation's Non- Partisan Political Committee will be intensified, and the committee will function throughout the year.
 B. Full cooperation will be given to all affiliated unions in their efforts to obtain greater share in industry's productivity.
 4. The Federation will work for a fairer system of taxation in munich palities, with efforts to correct under valuation of commercial properties.
 5. The Public Relations Department of the Federation will be continued, and the executive board was author ized to make suitable arrangements for its operation.
 6. The convention commended ef- forts to improve the Apprentice Training System, and said that fur ther efforts should be made to remedy weaknesses.

Dan Tracy Wins Over EdJ.BrOwn
 AsI.B.E.W. Head
Scores Surprising Upset At Electricians Convention
 In San Francisco

San Francisco (LPA)-An upset occurred in the official family of the IntI Brotherhood of Electrical Workers-AFL last week when Dan W. Tracy staged a comeback by de- feating Edward J. Brown, incum- bent, for the unions presidency.
 In a hot contest at the IBEW's in ternational convention here, Tracy nosed out Brown by the narrow mar gin of 80,2o8 votes to 77,428. Dele gates cast votes according to the num- Der of members they represented. Full membership of the union was reported as close to 350000.
 Tracy, a veteran unionist who halls from Texas, headed the IBEW from 1883 to 1940, but was then drafted" by President Roosevelt to serve as Asst Labor Secretary during the de- fense and war programs. Some months ago Tracy resigned from the Labor Department and took a position with the Int'l Labor Organization as labor relations counselor.
 Outside of this contest, most other officers were reelected un- opposed. They included C. H. Bug niazet, who has been international secretary for many years; William Hogan, treasurer, and Charles M. Paulson, chairman of the executive council.
 Among speeches to the convention was one by Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson in which he declared frankly that America might have lost the race to produce the atomic bomb, had it not been for the al1-out support of the IBEW and other unions in sup plying the needed manpower at a crit ica1 time.

SEASONS GREETINGS. Our ia
vorite valentine story is about six
year-old California lad who was much
impressed by the window dis
plays of lacy cards with pink, plump
Cupids on them. On February ID he
went to school and handed an enve-
lope to his pretty, young teacher.
Here's a valentine for you, Miss
Smith," he said calamity. Il paid a
whole nickel for il"
Miss Smith started to thank him,
but fell to stammering when she saw
the card inside. There was a pink,
plump cherub all right, and under
meath, were the words "Congratula-
tions on your new baby"
ADDRESS UNKNOWN. Fame is

to be an excellent policy, according
to a tale we get from the Rock Island
Railroad Recently Midwestern
lady sent it's Claim Department a
conscience" check for $3.50. She
wrote that back in 1907 she'd put in
a claim for lost trunk and the COM
pany had settled for $l66. Later the
trunk had been delivered after all, but
somehow she'd never got around to
returning the money. So now she was
sending $3.50 to cover the original
$l66, plus SO years interest.
But here's the pay-off: Because of
reorganization changes during 38
years, the original Rock Island COM
pany no longer existed - so the Claim
Department wrote the lady very
nice note and sent back her $3.50.
