Wife Seeks To
 Restrain Husband From Seeing Child

NEW YORK, (P) - Mrs. Julie Strnad, 31, has begun a legal bat tie to prevent her estranged hus- band from visiting her four-year- old daughter, Antoinette, who she claims is test tube baby" born as the result of artificial insemina- ton attorneys in the case dis closed Monday.
 The mother is seeking to amend state supreme court separation decree, granted her Oct. 8, which gives her husband, Antoine, a chauffeur, the right to visit the child on Sundays.
 Mrs. Strnad contends that the husband is not Antoinette's father.
 "The daughter of the parties is a test tube baby" she said in statement issued by her attorney, Jerome Horowitz, "I submitted to artificial insemination at the re- quest of my husband, and he paid the physician"
 Mrs. Strnad's motion for re- hearing on the decree was denied on technical grounds but her at torney said new petition was be- ing prepared.

Harrington And .Gruening Plead For Statehood

NEW YORK, (P) - Joseph R. Harrington, Delegate to Congress from Hawaii, Monday night called on Congrss to grant stathood to Hawaii, declaring such action would greatly enhance the influ- ence of the United States in the Pacific and among all dependent peoples"
 "To compel the people of this Territory to continue in their pres ent status" he told the 18th an- nual New York Herald Tribune forum, "Would be not only the violation Of a promise, but con- trary to the wish of the people themselves, who voted for state !.Ood in a plebeScite in 194O."
 Ernest H. Gruening, Governor of Alaska, urged that Congress grant statehood to the Territory, and said the present political stat us and economic conditions of AlaskanS "are more closely akin to serfdom than to sovereignty
 Tt is my conviction," he told the forum, shared by the major ity of Alaskans, that Territoriality is the major factor in retarding growth and deVe1ODOent
 for half a century the economy of Alaska has rested chiefly on two industries, salmon fisheries and gold mines, both at present languishing, partly as a result of federal policies.
 "Alaska'S other vast pOtentiali- ties have remained undeveloped chiefly owing to inappropriate laws imposed by Congress, con- servation measures which have often not conserved but often have paralyzed, and an economy dom mated by absentees whose chief purpose was to extract wealth of Alaska rapidly, take it away with them and leave little or nothing within the Territory"
 Harrington said there was "lit- tie question that if Alaska had been a sovereign state at the time of the outbreak of World War II, the Aleutian campaign would never have taken place and Amer ican lives would have been saved"
 Today" he added, Alaska is even more important strategically than during the second world war"

WHAT ROAD TO LABOR PEACE
By BORIS SHISKIN
AFL Economist, guest columnist for Ben Dor

thirds of all strikes settled by the
u. S. Cancellation Service were al
ready work stoppages at the time
conciliator was invited to parti-
cipate. The use of conciliation serv-
ices should be agreed upon in ad-
vance and should be the result of a
Joint request when a direct settle
ment cannot be reached.
4-The U. S. Cancellation Service
should be retained in the Labor
Dept and its effec t tivenes s
strengthened all along the line. 1t
is our primary safeguard against
the breakdown of peaceful labor
management relations. Labor-man
agement advisory committees, ma
tional and regional, should be given
a larger share of responsibility for
reviewing the operations and the
policies of the service. Adequate
funds should be made available to
maintain an adequate staff, which
should be kept currently inform
ed regarding current developments
in the field of labor relations.
Especial attention should be
given to the development of i'm
proved techniques Of mediation.
Some experimentation has already
taken place, utilizing mediators who
specialize in certain types of dis.
putes, mediations panels consist
ing of more than one mediator,
special boards of inquiry establish.
ed with the voluntary acceptance
of both parties, etc. These techni-
ques should not be confined to
spectacular cases but should be-
come part of the regular mediation
service in all types of disputes.
6-Voluntary arbitration services
should be expanded and improved.
There should be periodic consulta-
ton between representatives of la
Dor and management regarding the
use of voluntary arbitration and
other aids, in the light of chang
ing conditions in each industry or
trade.
These are practical and simple
steps. About some of them much
has been said and little has been
done. Perhaps one major reason
for that inaction is the widespread
ignorance on the part of the gen.
eral public of the methods by which
labor management problems are
being successfully solved every
day. Wherever possible, the story
of their day-to-day work in this
field should be told by labor and
management jointly. The story
should be told not only in printed
words, but also in films, radio
broadcasts, and joint labor-manage-
ment workshops demonstrating
workers and employers solve their
problems together. More knowl-
edge and better and wider under
standing of basic facts will help
to assure wider support of sound
programs for improved labor man.

which unions and employers must

'Nome Glover To
Succeed Goshen

Buffalo, N. Y. (LPA)-For the
first time in 26 years, the Switch
mems Union-AFL has a new presi-
dent this week-Arthur j. Glover,
42-year-old former general chair
man on the Rock Island Railroad.
Glover defeated Thomas c. Cas-
hen, veteran chief of the organiza-
ton, at the closing sessions of the
unions convention here. However,
by a unanimous vote the conven-
tion provided for the appointment
of Cashen as the Switchmen's ma
tional legislative representative in
Washington, and he agreed to take
the position.
Cashen has been an outstanding
figure in railroad labor affairs and
has served as chairman for some
years of the Railway Labor Execu-
tives Assn, with which the. chief
executives of 10 Railroad Broth
erhoods are affiliated.
Over half the officers of the
union were also replaced by the
convention. Another major action,
taken after sharp debate, was the
elimination of the white" require
ment from the membership pro-
visions of the Switchmen's consti-
tuition.

Unauthorized strikes in protest
against the Taft-Hartley measure
pulled out nearly 1900 in Penn

SHIPYARD MEN
FACE LOCKOUT

Philadelphia (LPA)-More than
100000 shipyard workers in almost
every privately operated shipyard
in the country were threatened with
a lockout this week as the major
ity of the contracts held by the In
dustrial Union of Marine & Slip
building Workers expired.
The lockout action by the en-
ployers, said IUMSW President
John Green, is the outcome of un-
lateral abrogation by the industry
of the zone agreements (Which are
signed by shipbuilding labor, man.
agement and the government pro-
curement agencies) and the refusal
of major shipyards and repair
yards to negotiate contract i'm
provements.
No specific wage increase de-
mand has been made public by the
union but it had been known for
weeks that the union was seeking
a straight 25c across-the-board hike
and elimination of differentials.
President Green pointed out that
west coast employers had given pay
hikes up to 13c an hour but had not
made any comparable offer in the
east. He declared that the union
wants to avert strike "but not
at the cost of breaking up the
union."

and Jones & Laughlin were effect
ed by the walkouts. U. S. Steel
claimed it lost $4,000 tons of coal
on June 8.
Interior Dept officials confirm
ed that the mine owners were stall
ing to see whether Truman would
veto the Taft-Hartley bill before
offering to resume negotiations.

Los Angeles, Calif.-I Thought
it would be of some interest to the
readers of the Potters Herald to
read of our conference with the
Bauer Pottery Company officials
and our National Representatives,
Brother Hull and Brother Pace
which resulted in a general wage
increase ranging from TIC per
hour to 15c per hour for both day
wage and piece workers effective
June 5, 1947.
Our vacation feature was
amended to the end that each
member will receive their paid
vacation on the anniversary date
of one years service with the COM
pany. Heretofore it was quite pos
sible for an individual accepting
work with the company on July 2,
to work two years less one day be-
fore receiving paid vacations.
Our yearly wage conferences
with the company are always in
teresting and snappy. However, it
is indeed a pleasure to report that
Mr.. James Bockman representing
the company has always been fair
and, above all else, he religiously
respects an agreement after sign
ing same and never in any in
stance has he in any way attempt
ed to violate the provisions of an
agreement; the National and Local
officials do likewise.
Sometimes it is indeed difficult
to convince our members of the
necessity of respecting the agree
ment despite the fact that merits
in particular cases indicate other
