MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 4 LPA)
between 875 police
and members of a CIO picket
line numbering more than
10000 marked the 211th day of
the Allis-Chalmers strike here
last week.
Fourteen of 16 pickets arrest
ed in brushes with police were
charged with unlawful assembly
and rioting. Continued mass
picketing was predicted by r. j.
Thomas, vice-president of the
United Auto Workers-CIO. "Our
union is not going to lose this
strike" Thomas declared.
Gov. Walter E. Goodland, who
termed it "a damn fool strike, +"
threatened to send National
Guard troops to the plant after
CIO President Philip Murray
asked Milwaukee locals to sup
port the seven months strike
financially and on the picket
line.
Negotiations to settle the
walkout, involving about 10000
employees, were stalemated as
management refused to consider
the unions demands for a Csc
an hour raise, union shop and
grievance machinery. Repeated
efforts by Labor Dept. officials
to get the company to agree to
conciliation and arbitration have
failed.

Senators Vie
In Proposing
Labor Laws

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 -
OPA) - The campaign for en-
actment of anti-labor legislation
by the 80th Congress had fuel
added to its fire last week in
proposals by Senators j. Will
liam Fulbright ID. Ark) and
Homer Ferguson (R. Mich) for
the outlawing of strikes in basic
industries and compulsory arbl-
tration.
Sen. Elmer Thomas Cd. Okla)
proposed to President Truman
that courts be given the power
to seize union treasures when
ever any strike threatens the
public health and safety" OBJ
viously aimed at the United
Mine Workers-AFL, Thomas
legislation would impound union
funds until strike was settled.
Sen. Joseph H. Ball (R.
Minn.), who previously had an
his intention of asking
Congress to outlaw the closed
shop, also used the coal strike as
a means of furthering his efforts
for union-busting legislation.
Bell said that the UNIV strike
sis more like an insurrection
than a labor dispute" He con-
tended that "It is not strike
at all, but defiance of the law
of the land as written in the
Smith Connally Act"
Fulbright proposed a single
special labor court with power
to force obedience to arbitration
decisions. Ferguson asked for a
system of labor courts special
izing in labor-management is
sues and extending up, to a sepa-
rate Supreme Court" of labor.
Fulbright predicted that Con-
gress will go "far beyond the
Case Bill if the mine strike
continues for another 80 days.

Representative Glare f..
Hoffman (R., Mich), one of
unionism's inveterate en-
emies, led the bloodthirsty crew
with a demand that "the Presi-
dent should call Congress back
into special session to suspend
the Wagner Act until the miners
60 back to work"
Rep. Howard Smith 3D., Va.),
one of the authors of the notori-
Gus Smith -Connally Act, said "A
special session suits me. We need
something to quell the dictator

others"

issued order aimed at sending
the miners back to work.
The outlines of the case
from its beginning were as
follows:
The Norris-LaGuardia Act
organized labor's greatest pro-
lection against strike breaking
by injunction-was held inap-
plicable to the government as
the trial of President John L.
Lewis and the United Mine
Workers-AFL for contempt of
court got under way in u. S.
District Court here.
In a decision almost GER
tain to reach the U. S. Supreme
Court, Justice T. Alan Colds
borough held that the govern.
ment is not bound by the Nor
ris-LaGuardia law in its effortS
to end the soft coal strike.
Goldsborough's finding was
handed down as he overruled a
petition to dismiss the contempt
citation which resulted from the
refusal of the UNIV chief to re-
scind an announcement that the
unions contract with the gov
ernment had been terminated.
Goldsborough, who has q
reputation for having the major
ity of his important decisions
reversed by higher courts, gave
indication of what his ruling
would be when earlier in the
week he said that il was anarchya
for Lewis and The UNIV to COM,
tinue the walkout.
Con Enjoin Union
Under his Interpretation of
the Norris-LaGuardia Act the
justice said 1T is perfectly clear
that the court, as a court of
has the right to enjoin

Teachers Strikes
Are On Increase

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 4 -
(LPA) - Teachers strikes in
widely separated sections of the
nation drew attention last week
to underpaid personnel in the
country's school system.
In st. Paul, Mimi, 5000 teach
ers went on strike, closing the
city's IT grade and high schools
in the biggest walkout of teach
ers in the nations history. A
strike by Minneapolis teachers
was averted at the last moment
when wage increases were
granted.
Teachers in 80 schools in
McMinniville, Tenn, continued
their strike for wage increases,
and four rural schools near Fort
Dodge, Iowa, were closed as
striking teachers attempted to
enforce their demands for a $50
monthly increase which would
bring their salaries to $190.
Other teachers strikes have
ccurred recently in Muscoda,
Wis. and Norwalk, Conn. Walk
outs were forestalled by pay
boosts in Buffalo, N. Y, Rah-
way, and Hillside, N. j., and in
several small California COM
munities.
st. Paul teachers now receive
from $1,000 to $4,000 annually
Their demands include a $2400
minimum. In McMinnville the
the teachers are asking for a
$40 cost living increase.

of Local II, UAW-CIO or the
lam in an election to be con-
Quoted Tuesday, Dec. 10, by the
LMC, it was announced late
Wednesday afternoon by Jerome
Gross, LMC executive secre-
tary..
Agreement on the method of
conducting the voting was ar
rived at on Wednesday during
a meeting of the LMC labor
panel.
Public members Rabbi Nor

Doyle will conduct the election
in each garage. They will be
assisted by Mr.. Gross Each ga
rage will be visited during the
day where eligible mechanical
employees will be given an op-
portunity to cast their ballot for
either union. Whichever union
receives a majority vote in the
33 garages will be given city
wide bargaining rights covering
all garage mechanics.
Settles Union Dispute
The election brings to a peace
full conclusion jurisdictional
dispute between Local IL, UAW-
CIO, and the lam which began
early last summer following or
ganization of Carl F. Weissen-
berger's and the Bauer and Har-
rington garages.
After, the LAM had claimed
jurisdictional rights, the TATA
took the position that it would
not bargain for separate garages
but only on an association-wide
basis. Later, following the sub
mission of the case to the LMC
the lam struck several down
town garages following refusal
of the TATA to agree to accept
an LMC recommendation.

of the American Newspaper

phia Record and the Camden
Courier-Post exploded into viol-

Acting Gov. Hayden Proctor
rejected appeals by Sheriff
Robert B. Moir and Mayor Geo.
E. Brunner for 100 state troop
ers. Moir's reading of the New
Jersey riot act over a police car
loud-speaker was greeted with
laughter and boos.
Two of the arrested pickets
were charged with melting to
riot and released under $3.50
bond while 80 others were
charged with disorderly conduct
and released on SIS bond. After
the arrest more than 800 of the
unionists marched to the city
