CHICAGO (LPA)-American Le- zion Commander John Stelle, who has been less than 1ukewarm in welcom- ing union labor posts in the Legion, is in hot water in his home town of McLeansboro, H., according to the monthly Newsletter of the National Conference of Union Labor Legion naires. The National Labor Rela- tions Board, the Newsletter reported, "has complained that Ste1le at a clay pit he owns fired 20 of his workers for joining the AF1 Hod Carriers Union. Stelle is reported to have told his workers that they could belong to any union but that one. They all joined that one, and Stelle gave 20 of them their walking papers"

promptly, it is very likely that a Successor" organization will be formed. The company union will spring up again in another form and under another name. But the outside indications of employer domination will be removed. The employer will have learned by his experience before the Board. It will be extremely difficult to prove that the successor is in fact a company union.
 It may sometimes be determined that it is more advantageous to seek an immediate election, with the com pany union on the ballot, than to go through the more time-consuming pro- cedure of filing charges against the company union In such cases, it should be remembered, the legitimate union, if it loses the election, may be precluded thereafter from filing com pany union charges.

Bread Cut Plan Hits AFL Bakers But Not Owners
Price Increase May Be Allowed But Pay
 Decrease Looms

WASHINCTON-(FP)- Ameri- ca's generosity in sending wheat to starving Europe cuts everybOdy's bread alike. It may give the bakery owners an OPA order for higher prices, but the union baker sees a sharp pay cut ahead as well.
 This paradox was outlined April 25 by Research Director Andrew Myrup of the Bakery & Confectionery Work CTS Intl. Union (AFL), who said the unions 10000 members were eager to do their part to relieve famine con- ditionS abroad.
 Have 6-Day Week
 Most of the nations big bakers are operating now on 6-day week, in which the union members get time and a half for the sixth day. With the 25% cut in flour, Myrup explained, the operating bakers will drop to a 5-day week, thus giving the workers a cut in take-home pay that will amount to about 30%.
 The problem of how to handle the reduction, whether in layOffs or a spread-the-wOrk program, will

 It is important that organizers and union members recognize company unions so as best to attack them when they interfere with legitimate organ izations. A union is not company union merely because it is "inde- pendent, that is, unafiliated with one of the national organizations. On the contrary, both the National and the State Labor Relations Boards have put independent unions on the ballot and have certified them as representa- lives of the employees upon their winning elections or otherwise prov ing their majority.
 HERE'S THE FORMULA
 The test as to whether an organ izatiOn is a company union is the extent of the employers participa- tion. Has the employer initiated or created the organization? Has he participated in or supervised it's management, its elections, its meet ings or the formulation of its rules or policies? Has he managed it, financed it, dominated it? Has he assisted in maintaining or financ- ing it by compromising anyone for services in its behalf or by dOnat- ing free service, equipment or any thing else of value? Has he urged employees to join the Organiza- ton?
 If the answer to any of these ques- tions is yes, and if the facts can be proven, the employer has violated the law. And if the domination or par ticipation interferes with the en- ployees' rights to form and bargain through real union, the Board will order the employer to withdraw recognition from the company union and refrain from bargaining with it.
 The timing of company union charges is most important. Charges should not be filed until organiza- ton has reached such a stage that the legitimate union can win an election when the company union is invalidated. If the board ''dis- establishes'' a company union, and a real union does not take over
