DETROIT The UAW-ClO will

1947-48 season in leagues and
tournaments of the American
Bowling Congress unless by that
time ABC has put an end to its
discriminatory practices against
Negro bowlers. This action. taken
at the recent International Execu.

swer to hundreds of resolutions,
requests and delegations to in
dividual board members over a
long period of time by auto work
-ers.
Thousands of bowling teams

bowling alley owners will not al

nents.
The JAW Executive Board in
Structed its Fair Practices De-
partment to open negotiations
with the American Bowling Con-
gress seeking to eliminate from
the Congress constitution the dis
elimination clause which, reads
as follows:
City Associations shall be
composed of teams with a mem
bership of three or more individ-
uals of the white male sex -
In outlying possessions of the

The UAW Board declared that
if the ABC will not remove this

from the ABC the relationship OF

2 Conferences Aimed at Easing
Boxcor Shortage Called Here

Miami FlaJ Herald and Dali.
News.
Five hundred Sawmills In the In
terror of British Columbia faced the
possibility of a prolonged shutdown
making 10000 workers idle.
The boxcar shortage forced a II
per cent output cut in 10 plants
operated by fertilizer manufacturers
in the Norfolk, (Va) area. The Vir-
ginia Smelling Co. also reported one
of its small plants at West Norfolk
lost about 10 days.
The situation was causing a delay
Of from one to three weeks in ship
ment of cotton from the Mississippi
Valley to mills and exporters. The
car shortages caused congestion in
cotton warehouses and financial
losses to buyers, shippers, brokers
and mills.
Director J. Monroe johnson of the
ONCE Of Defense Transportation
urged an increase in the per diem
charge railroads pay for the use of
freight cars owned by other lines.
He maintained the present rate of
$1.25 a day amounted to "the rail-
roads being penalized nothing for
dilatory and sluggish movements of
freight cars"
Mr.. johnson also criticized the
Civilian Production Administration
for granting steel priorities for l,l0o
steel tank cars ito aid the Army's
fertilization program abroad" The
ODT director said he was not cri-
itching the "Army's plan" but
pointed out priorities had not been
granted for building domestic cars.

sons of vision and balance, he said.
