plant bosses were "the front line
of management-carrying out man
agement policy, recommending wage
rates and firing of those under their
supervision"
Disagreeing with Packard's argu-
ment, Justice jackson said:
Even those who act for the en-
ployer in some matters, including
the service of standing between
management and manual labor, still
have interests of their own as en-
ployes.
Though the foreman is the faith
full representative Of the employer
in maintaining a production sched-
ule, his interest properly may be ad-
verse to that of the employer when
it comes to fixing his own wages
hours, seniority rights or working
conditions.
He does not lose his right to
serve himself in these respects be-
cause he serves his master in others
And we see no basis in this act
whatever for holding that foremen
are forbidden the protection of the
act when they take collective action
to protect their collective interests >
Douglas Sees All Levels Hit.
Justice Douglas, in the dissenting
opinion, said that under the major
ity's decision "if a union of vice
presidents apply for recognition as
collective bargaining agency I dc
not see how we could deny it. -
Justice Douglas went on to say
that the decision lends the sane
tions Of Federal law to unionization
at all levels of the industrial hier-
achy.
| He added:
|. It tends to emphasize that the
basic opposing forces in industry are
not management and labor but the
operating group on the one hand
and the stockholders and bondhold-
er group on the other.
'The struggle for control or power
between management and labor be-
comes secondary to growing unity
in their common demands on owner

Lewis Fights Petition
For Mandate 10 Meet
Court Ruling al Once
sy me Assse;essd prsss

John L. Lewis and his United
Mine Workers today opposed q Gov
ernment request that the Supreme
Court issue immediately an order
carrying out its decision Of last
Thursday In the coal strike case.
The court upheld contempt con-
victions Of Mr.. Lewis and the UNIV
for disregarding District Court
order against last falls coal strike.
It sustained q $4,000 fine against
MIR. Lewis and reduced from So, ,500,- =
600 to 500. 900 one against the union.
The high tribunal directed that
the original amount Of the flne
against the union should be reim-
posed unless Mr.. Lewis withdrew q
notice to the Government that the
union was terminating its contract
to mine coal.
Ordered to Withdraw Notice.
Mr.. Lewis was. ordered to withdraw
the notice within fve days after the
high courts mandate was returned
to the District Court. Ordinarily, 1t
requires about Is days for the man
date (court decision) to reach the
lower court.
Since the miners are under In
structions from Mr.. Lewis to work
only until March 81, Attorney Gen.
eral Clark fled with the court last
week q motion to make the mandate
effective Immediately.
Mr.. Clark said he feared that
unless this were done there might
be strike March 81.
Counsel for Mr.. Lewis and the
union fled with the Supreme Court
today petition saying "the public
interest will not In any manner be
adversely affected by allowing the
normal and reasonable time for con-
sideration and preparation of petit
ton for rehearing."
Plead for Reasonable Time.
The petition said that the Su-
preme Courts opinions last Thurs
day presented many diverse and
intricate problems Of law"
Justice requires that q reason
able time be allowed for considera-
ton and analysis of these deci-
sions."' the union attorneys added.
They asserted that refusal to al
low the union additional time to
consider the opinions and plan
Its next move would be "prejudicial
to the rights" of Mr.. Lewis and
the union.
Mr.. Clark and union counsel are
to present their requests orally be-
fore the court this afternoon.
There was no indication whether
the court would act immediately.
Some court attaches said the jus
tices might take the motions under
consideration and announce their
ruling later.

The Argentine Confederation o1
Labor is dominated 50 completely by
the Peron government that collabo-
ration by American labor is not pos
sible at this time, investigators
charged today.
This was the obvious though un-
pleasant" conclusion Of the United
States labor delegation to Argen-
tina which last month completed q
three weeks on-the-spot investiga-
ton Of labor, economic and political
conditions at the invitation Of the
confederation and the Argentine
government.
Relating in detail the strange
treatment accorded them by theil
South American hosts, the commit
teemen representing the American
Federation Of Labor and the Rail
way Labor Executives Association
reported these other findings:
I. While there Is little formal &C.
ton by the government to suppress,
civil liberties, there does definitely
exist "a, general atmosphere of feal
and mutual suspicious - partic.
ularly by workers organizations un.
sympathetic to the government OF
those which merely wish to remain
aloof from political activities"
Reforms Have Political Aim.
2. The government has instituted
many economic reforms, but to 3
large extent for political gain, ane
social legislation without freedom
is entirely inadequate and may ever
serve as a cover for tyranny"
3. The labor confederation (CGT)
has been converted into q politica,
arm Of the government and those II
the organization who have wished
to retain a measure Of independence
have been "ruthlessly eliminated.
4. Openly sponsoring organization
Of trade unions, the state constantly
diminishes the freedom Of relation
ship between employer and employe
and collective bargaining as such
has become distorted.
S. There still exist independent
trade unions fighting to escape gov
ernment domination, but in most
cases they are deprived Of the legal
status needed to serve the best inter.
ests Of their members.
CGT Official Disappears.
Although William Green, AFI
president, and other labor leaders
had been given assurances there
would be no effort on the part o1
the government to hamstring the
investigation, the report is loaded
with unpleasant "reminiscences.
Outstanding among these was the
manner in which CGT representa-
tives abruptly we're shunted from al
plans a day after the American
delegations arrival on January 10
Incidental to this was the even more
mysterious disappearance of Luis F
Gay, CGT general secretary, who
was never seen by the Americans
again after he and a CGT delega.
tton failed to keep an appointment
on January 81.
The American delegation baked
at the itinerary prepared by the
government. It consisted of toe
many pleasure junkets and recep-
tions. As result of these unpleas-
antries there were two showdowns
with President Peron at the end OF
which the visitors again were prom
ised complete freedom to go where
they would and speak with whom
they chose.
But the Gay affair" apparently
set the tempo for the entire visis

Argentine Labor Under Thumb
OF Peronl US. Delegates Find

In formal statement by q so-called
Defense Committee Against Trea-
son." Mr.. Gay was accused of con-
spring with Seranflne Romualdi,
secretary Of the American delega-
tion, and Assistant Secretary Of
State spruille Braden ito deprive
President Peron Of the workers sup
port"
The committees report told how
the CGTs Central Committee met
In secrecy January 28 to accept Mr..
Gays resignation from that organi-
zation and his subsequent custer
from a number OF high government
positions. To the day they left the
country, the Americans were never
to see Mr.. Gay or any Of the CGT
"hosts" again.
At reception held earlier, Mr.,
Gay had joined Chairman Felix
Knight Of the American delegation
In advocating the principles Of free
trade unionisnn and in espousing or
ganization OF an Inter-American
Federation of Labor. His place and
those Of other executive committee
men who also resigned from the
CGT Central Committee were taken
by men who had openly attacked the
deposed leaders.
Anerieaus Tbreafsnsd
Instead of CGT members, ,the
Americans were accompanied on
tours by members Of the Argentine
Workers Committee, apparently
hand-picked by the government. Al
least two instances of threats and
personal attacks on the Americans
by members of the Argentine party
almost resulted in the visitors aban-
doning the tours, the report said.
In arriving at their conclusions
the visiting delegates talked with
government officials, workers, union
leaders and industrialists. On every
hand, they found proof that labor
was under the thumb of govern
ment.
One Of the more common prac-
tices, they found, was the appoint
ment of interventors or admins
traitors over unions whose officers
and members were unwilling to 20
along with the government.
Another practice was the with
holding Of "Personeria Gremial''
from independent unions refusing
to fall into line, the investigators
found. Personeria Gremial 10 the
legal recognition required for any
Argentine union to carry out its
normal functions. Without it, q
union is virtually debarred from
doing anything to serve the inter-
ests Of its members" Examples OF
such unions were the Printers, Tex
tile Workers, Federation of Hat
Workers and Shoe Workers, the re-
port added.
Government DEGREES establish
ing standards Of wages, hours ane
working conditions, paid vacations
pension plans and other benefits
are often not applied in industries
where the unions lack the Personeria
Gremial," the report said.
Signing the report were Arnolc

w. Minton. Miguel Garriga ane
William Munger, all of the AFL
and Felix H, knight. j. l.. Elliott

Being a policeman or mail car

Watch Made In 10Th Century
Still Keeps Time For Gunner

Who said the modern world has
everything? Probably all of us
are guilty, but have you ever gaz-
ed into the insides Of a watch
made early in the 18th century?
R. L. Waldorf owns such a
watch and its complicated machi-
nism would put cur modern-day
time pieces to shame. All hand
made and curved, the watch
keeps perfect time even after lat
years of service to humanity.
Waldorf says he came about the
watch when a friend traded the
English masterpiece for another
watch. His friends dad picked up
the relic in New York City go
years ago and gave it to his son
for safekeeping.
When the watch was brought
into Waldorf's small repair shop,
it was coroded with age and it
was estimated that the time piece
had no run for so years.
Being an old watch and the
young watch repairman not being
familiar with its workings, it took
him two weeks to put the English
antique into operation. Now he re-
ports that the watch keeps as
good time as any he has in the
shop, varying less than 80 seconds
each day.
Three plates cover the watch.
One silver plate covers the front
and another the back side of the
relic while a glass covering shuts
over the face.
When an English gentleman oil
that day and time pulled out his
watch to wind it, he had to take
out his winding key also. Usually
the Key was on a watch fob.
The cap where the dials are con.
nected is square instead of round
like the present cay watches ano
has a diamond mounted on its
summit, so the key can grip it.
1t is wound from the back side.
Probably the most outstanding
feature of the old time piece is
the bicycle-like chain that winds
off the main spring onto another
barrel. The chain is about the size
of a thread and is called a fuzee.
The tuzee chain is not the only
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-06-29

attraction the watch has. 1t is put
together with pins. In each end
of the pins that hold the case
ments together there is a very
small hole through which a still
smaller pin is inserted thus hold
ing the watch together. 1t is like
building a house without nails and
using pegs instead.
Differing from the roller type
watches of today, it is geared
throughout, and has escapement
gears. Due to the floating escape
ment gear the watch may be adj
justed any way that is desirable.
In its day the watch was prob
ably worth between $500 and $500.
1t contains 10 jewels.
Waldorf submitted the watch to
a technical school to have it
checked. This is the report in
part:
About 10 size, fuzee rack-lever
escapement, Chrysolite jewels in
train, key wind and set, signed
M. J.. Tobias and Company (The
manufacturer of the watch who
was situated in Liverpool, Eng
land at the time), No. 1900, in sill
yer case hunting, with imitation
Hallmarks, which indicates that
the watch was made for export to
America. The watch movement,
indicates the watch was made be-
tween 1900 and 1920.
