President James c. Petrillo, of
the American Federation of Mu-

nifty he asked for last week to
test the constitutionality of the
Lea Cor anti-Petrillo) Act.
The Justice Department filed
formal criminal charges against
Petrillo in District Court here,
accusing him of violating the
Act which prohibits a union from
attempting to compel a radio sta

it alleges it needs.
Petrillo and AFL attorneys
have consistently contended that

on April 16, is unconstitutional

Our business would be

Icepted the gift and extended his
thanks to the CIO for what he
termed a fitting and lasting
memorial to your friend Presi-
dent Roosevelt"
In his speech of presentation,
Director Gosser said while we
recognize that President Roose-

from his own experience knew
the value of health to the in
diVidual and the nation, Mr..
Gosser pointed out that the chill
dren who are afflicted with in
fantile paralysis were the special
concern of the late President.
He commended the staff of the
hospital for their work and said
their courage, perseverance and
patience in the handling of their
patients should be a lesson to
ALL"
Concluding his brief talk, the
UAW head said that it was the
hope of CIO that the pool would
continue to accomplish all the
good for which it was designed
ano added the wish that it will
always perpetuate in the hearts
and minds of all of us, the name
and accomplishments of a great
humanitarian, great president
and great American - Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt.

Labor Gets
Set For New
Case Bill

/ WASHINGTON GPA) =
Organized 1abor's anger at
President Truman's slave
labor demands repeated last
week in his Case bill veto
continued to mount and there
was every indication that the ma
tion's workers would not forget
during the fall elections or in
1948 what they called, and what
even some congressman called
"totalitarian" and fascist pro-
/ posals.
! Local. state and national con-
ventions of both CIO and ALL
unions denounced the President
and in many instances called for
independent political action and
consideration of third party
plans.
Sustained by House
The veto was sustained by the
House by a vote of 255 to 135.
Had five more votes been added
to the 255, the two-thirds neces-
sary for overriding, the most vi
cious union busting legislation
in decades would have become
law.
Almost Immediately, frus-
trated labor-haters among the
255 in the House Immediately
held a private caucus to debate
whether tC tie the Case bill on
a5 a rider to Truman's pending
slave labor legislation now be-
fore the House Rules Committee.
Labor from every section of
the country has gone into action
and messages are beginning to
pour into the White House and
to Senators and Representatives
protesting placing rider upon
the Truman legislation or re-
! vival of the Case bill.
Revival of the Case bill, with
some minor alterations and pos
sibly with another title is fore
seen here as reactionary con-
gressmen indicate that they will
continue to place repressive leg
islation upon labor rather than
enact any sane labor legislation
which might be necessary after
consulting with labor unions and

Court Curbs
Oil Workers
Company Pleads For
Safety" Measure

An order restraining striking
members of the Oil Workers
Union-CIO from interfering
with the entrance of supervisors
into the struck plant of the Pure
Oil Co., Cedar Point and Otter
Creek Roads was granted by
Common Pleas Judge Harvey G..
Straub on Tuesday of this week.
In granting the temporary re-
straining order to D. S. Frank
plant superintendent, Judge
Straub told the company official
that he had inserted into the
order the sentence, Nothing
herein shall be construed as en-
joining peaceful and lawful pick
citing" and allowing the union
! to maintain a maximum of five
pickets at each entrance to the
refinery.
Plead Safety Measure
Judge Straub granted the tenn
4 porary restraining measure when
Superintendent Frank told the
court that safety hazard would
exist without proper mainte-
nance.
Company officials assured the
Court that it had no intention
of bringing in strike breakers or
seeking to break the strike.
No union representatives were
present at the trial.
1 Robert E. Nichols, union pres
ident and Clyde Shamblen, rep
resenting the Oil Workers Inter
national and seven other mem
bers of the union were named
in the restraining order.
Challenges Company
| Challenging the company's S
ground for seeking the court or
der was Clyde Shamblen, union
representative who pointed out
that the company was not al
ways so careful about maintain
ing safety.
Specifically mentioned by
Shamblen was the company S
suspension of 130 maintenance
men for a week, one of the
causes of the present dispute,
during which time the company
maintaining high pressure in a
boiler endangering the workers
and creating a safety hazard.
Shamblen criticized the court
for not notifying the union of
the action of the company in
filing its suit and said, Judge
Straub was really generous in
allowing us to keep five pickets
at each entrance"
A meeting between the union
and management will take place
here June 27 in which the
II a bor- Management Citizens
Committee will seek to bring
the parties together and settle
the dispute.
