Gaspic will contact the employer, schedule a conference, and if possible arrange an election by consent of all parties. If the employer or rival union refuses to consent to an election, such as the appropriate unit, a formal hearing be- fore the Board will be set. On the basis of the testimony presented, the Board will order an election, Or cer- tify the union on the evidence, or dis miss the petition.
 Elections are conducted by MT. Gaspic, and each party may station observers at the polling place with the right to challenge. All elections are by secret ballot.

Case BiU Comes Up Before Senate NOV |!

WASHINGTON (FP)-News of the two-week truce in the soft coal strike made little difference in the Senate drive to pass anti-labor legislation. Administration forces, despite news of the truce, led the Senate in a 67-9 vote for immedi- ate consideration of the Case anti labor bill.
 The overwhelming vote re- fected hysteria m bunting against labor throughout the six-week strike of 100000 United Mine Workers (AFL) members, after the Senate quickly voted passage of the British loan bill. Organized labor had urged Senators not to use the coal strike as a pretext for consideration of crippling legislation aimed at all labor unions.
 The nine senators voting against immediate action on the Case bill were: Sens. George Aiken (R, Vt.), Warren Magnuson CD, Wash.) Pat McCarran CD, Nev.), James Mead CD, ND, Hugh Mitchell CD, Wash.), Claude Pep per CD, Fla.), Glen Taylor CD, Ida), James Tunnell CD, Del) and Robert Wagner CD, ND.

Plot Seen Behind Anti-Union Clamor
(Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) ing of Lewis in his battle to secure a ''health and welfare" fund for the re- lief of maimed and injured miners and the families of those who are killed in mine disasters.
 Union Accuses Operators
 That fund is the No. 1 objective of the union, coming ahead of wage in creases, a safety program and other demands made by the Mine Workers. The Policy Committee charged that in all the prolonged negotiations, the operators have not come forward with any clear-cut counter-offer. What they did propose, the committee said, was bunk" and ''more buncombe."
 Instead of negotiating on the health and welfare fund, the opera tors have demanded legislation - which Robertson and Smith of Vir- ginia have introduced-to outlaw payment of royalties on coal for such fund.
 In fact, the bills are so sweeping as to make illegal health and pension funds which have been in effect i'll some industries for years and which are the result of collective bargain ing. ''Crackpot Panacea'
 One sided hearings on the bills were held before a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee and near ly all the testimony was given by pro- ponents-by Burke and the heads of employer organizations.
 However, a dissenting voice came from Congressman Bailey, of West Virginia, who testified not only for himself, but for Nicely and several other progressive West Virginia Con- gressmen. Bailey branded the bills 'crackpot panaceas."
 Reports Say Fund Is Necessary
 Another significant development was the fact that, while Washington news papers editoria11y were denouncing Lewis stand, their own correspondents who recently toured mine areas of the South and reported miserable condi- tions there described a health and vel fare fund as necessity.
 James Y. Newton, reporter for the Washington sStar,' wrote that S'there seems to be definite need" for such a fund, while Mrs. Agnes E. Meyer, wife of the millionaire publisher of the Washington s'Post," declared that ''these miners need welfare fund" to correct the ''horrors and injustices' which ex- ist in mine areas.
 Meanwhile, solid support of the A. F. of L. behind the struggle of the miners was announced by President William Green. He wrote Lewis that the Federation Islands with you in the noble fight you are making" He add ed that "the moment has arrived when humanitarian consideration must tri- umph over greed"

 Works Instead of Words
 We must never forget that we live i'll democracy and the ma jority rules The majority must feel that they share in the profits of the profit system. Otherwise, they may decide some day they want another system.
 ''There is nothing sacrOsanct about capitalism. Unless it justifies itself by works instead of words. it must go with the wind of change.''
 Johnston called tor establishment ot what he described as "neoteric capital ism," and he defined that as "new, modern, young." Such capitalism, to survive Iii a world where Communism and Socialism have made great in roads, must seek to have fewer rich at the top and fewer poor" at the bottom, he declared.
 Capitalism should, he urged, support a decent minimum wage, an annual guaranteed wage and profit sharing il order to distribute the good things O life" Significantly, he voiced opposi- tion to more government regulation ot either unions, or other groups He f sisted "selfregulation" is the ideal goal

because of disagreements over Mr..
Gill's management Of the institu-
tionS.
Chief among the l6 board charges,
prepared last week and sent stimuli
taneously to Mr.. Gill and the city
heads yesterday, were complaints Of
abusive language toward both jail
employees and his superiors, viola
tion of jail regulations and discon-
tinuance Of the use Of control cells"
In the basement.
The welfare board said the control
cells had been found successful in
the past in disciplining refractory
inmates" and that Mr.. Gill had
supplied no effective substitute.
To the press, Mr.. Gill retorted
that the cells were so old that one
prisoner picked the tiles from the
walls with bare hands and another
smashed glass in the steel doors. He
confined disciplinary cases in four
modern cells, Mr.. Gill said.
Restoring Mr.. Gill to his job is
impossible. the board declared,
because he has so derided jail en-
ployes that there is no chance for
future cooperation
The board charged that Mr.. Gill
returned to the general dormitory
several juveniles who had been
confined separately after a dis
turbance which reached riot" pro-
portions. He took no disciplinary
action against them nor against
some other juveniles who destroyed
$500 worth of Government property
and assaulted each other, the board
charged.
Special Privileges" Charged.
Mr.. Gill encouraged inmates to
see him without telling officers in
immediate charge, the board de-
clared. Mr.. Gill also was accused
of giving special privileges" and
allowing visitors and correspondence
not authorized by Jail regulations
