Union Sheriff
Survives Victory
In Copper Sfufe
BY ED ORLOFF

Butte, Mont. (FP)-There is one
sweet note of victory emanatine
from the discordant symphony o1
the Montana COP victory. The
copper bosses, who had their way
when the elected Zales N. Ector
u. S. Senator, couldn't defeat Sill
yer Bow County Sheriff Al Nc
Leod.
Anaconda Copper had been very
unhappy with Mcleod ever since
he refused to take their orders last
April when International Union of
Mine Mill & Smelter Workers
members struck for and won a
wage increase.
The company had demanded that
Mcleod call for federal troops to
help quell phony company-staged
riot, designed to discredit the
union. He refused and, with the
aid of union deputies, dispersed the
copper bosses stooges who had
been melting mobs of young hood
lumS.
In typical copper town fashion,
the stooges had been posing as
union men and raiding the homes
of non-striking workers.
Oddly enough, the alleged
"union" men took extreme pains
to drag furniture from hack rooms
out through the front door, instead
of through the back door, as would
have been logical-for the benefit
of photographers from the COM
pany press.
Oddly enough, the mobs never
ventured near the section of Butte
in which the top company officials
live.
Oddly enough, the company
press didn't breathe a word of the
socalled riots until two days after
the hoodlums began their violence.
Oddly enough, the company
dominated American Legion post
failed to send men to serve as
deputies when Mcleod asked for
aid.
For refusing to take the com
pany's side, Mcleod was marked
for defeat.
Only the company's orders didn't
take.

er the right to fight back. There's
got to be more risk in striking
employees and less risk for the
employer. Free collective bargain
ing requires balance of risks"
Ball said the new Congress was
ready to ego ahead pretty fast
on portions of the Case BILL" He
mentioned particularly it's provi-
sions for mediation of disputes.
The Minnesotan called for a ban
on secondary boycotts and named
actions of the international Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers and
the Association of Plumbers &
Steam Filters as examples.
Legal curbs on welfare funds
negotiated between unions and en-
ployers are on Balls list, together
with a ban on foreman in unions.
"Another job is going to be re-
writing the Wagner act," which
Ball admitted "will take consider
able study. But | think revision of
that act is essential if we are to
have equal rights and responsible
ties"
Recalling his announcement of a
bill to ban the closed shop by
statute, Ball said "that is the
soundkst way to. protect individual
and minority rights in unions"
Ball said that at present "coer-
ci6h and bribery" are the only in
struments available to government
to use against unions, and that in
dustry-wide bargaining should be
stopped in order to prevent indus
try-wide shutdowns.
81 would regulate bargaining so
drastcally that it would discour-
age industry-wide bargaining, but
permit international unions to
operate as they do now"
The Republican senator said the
United Mine Workers stoppage sis
not in any sense labor dispute. 1t
is a defiance of the court. The
cannot fail to meet
that challenge and meet it square
ly. It's more of an insurrection
than a labor dispute.
Because of preoccupation with
budget cuts and anti-labor matters,
Ball predicted, the S0th Congress
will save until 194S any action on
national health legislation, federal
aid to education, and the national
housing situation.

Guild Prepares
For Long Strike

Camden, n. j. Striking
Philadelphia Camden Newspaper
Guild members dug in for a long
strike against the Philadelphia
Record and the Camden Courier
Post after briefly resumed nego-
tiations with publisher j. David
Stern netted zero.
Stern walked out on talks held
in Mayor George +. Brunner's Of
flee the day before when guild Of
ficials refused his demand that all
union gains registered in the last
13 years be scrapped and bargain
ing begin from scratch.
Impetus for the resumed nego-
tiations came after thousands of
workers staged stop-work sym
pathy demonstration with the
Camden strikers Nov. %. Thirty
two shipyard workers were arrest
ed and several beaten by police.
Size of the demonstration and
threats of a general strike forced
a halt to the police violence that
had been harassing the picketline
for days and also led TO Brunner's
offering his offices for a meeting.

mains silent about the conditions
in South Carolina, his native
state"
