NEW YORK--The Tool Owners Union, union-busting organization, was denounced by the New York Board of Standards X Appeals as the most ''fascistic organization yet to come to its attention as the board rejected the TOU's applica- ton to do business in the state. WASHINGTON-In the interest of stability in labor-management rela- tions, 2-year collective bargaining agreements will not be interrupted by an election sought by an outside union, the NLRB decided.

Donnelly Dress
 Firm Loses Fight

WASHINGTON (FP) - In its hour of trial and hardship, the NLRB found some solace in an opinions of the U. s. supreme court this week up- holding the boards decision in the o-year old case between the Donnelly Garment Co. of Kansas City and the Intl. Ladies' Garment Workers (AFL).
 Justice Felix Frankfurter delivered the unanimous verdict of the supreme court upho1ding the NLRB but avoid ing study of the record consisting of B volumes in 5000 pages. Instead, the high court held that the Circuit Court of Appeals must make final disposition of the case.

Strikes Hit
 .Post-War Low

WASHINGTON (LPA)-A new postwar low in strikes was hit during January, the U. s. Labor Dept. an- nounced last week. The total was less than for any month since March, 1o45. These are the latest available figures.
 Man-days lost through strikes in January totalled approximately r. 250,0O0 as compared with 3,065,OO0 the previous month. For every 16 man-days of idleness lost in January year ago, when the large strikes involved the steel, meatpacking, cleo trical manufacturing and auto indus tries, only one man-day was lost in January, 1o47, work stoppages, said the Labor Dept.
 However, January 1o47, strikes to- tailed 200 against 180 last December but practically all the January stop pages were small and local in char acter."

 Still up in the air was the bill ap- proved by Senate Banking Commit tee subcommittee, which would raise rents 10 per cent across the board, and remove all rent ceilings on new dwellings.

THE GHOST WALKS

Another industry witness was Earl Reed, whom you may remember as the chairman of the Lawyers Committee of the American Liberty League Reed prepared 127 page brief proving that the Wagner Act was unconstitutional Then, after the Supreme Court decided that Reeds legal advice was cock eyed, he charged his clients handsome fees for representing them before the same NLRB that he said was illegally established. Reed evidently hasn't learned much law since those days be- cause the Committee felt impelled to ask NLRB for its version of some of MT. Reeds contentious; it took the Board more than ten long legal-sized pages to index the inaccuracies.
 And SO these witnesses march be- fore the Committee for more than two weeks. Then, labor was given its chance. Labor's witnesses came all prepared to give the Committee some information that had been withheld before. But most of them could hardly get going in their statements before the Committee chairman, or one of his cohorts, began badgering them as no in- dustry witnesses had been badgered.
 VERY IMPARTIAL
 The last impartial witness is ex- pected to be the ex-NLRB member, Gerard Reilly. Reilly has written bill which was introduced by Sen. Joseph Ball (R., Minn. which was even too strong for Sen. Taft. The bill makes legal most of the unfair practices now illegal, and also provides number of new weapons which employers may use against unions.
 Whatever it is that the Senate Committee expects to get out of these hearings, it isn't information.

They were masseurs protesting a

Time Is Not Solution
To Racial Problems,
Panel Speakers Say

Members of a panel speaking on a
| Laboratory of human relations pro-
gram today expressed the opinion
that if the race relations problems
of Washington are left to time, no
solution will be brought about.
The meeting was held in the John
Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 1915
Fourteenth street NV. 1t was spon-
sored by the Fellowship of Recon-
ciliation in cooperation with the

discussion were William Hill of the
NAACP, Byron Allen, an insurance
man, who is a member of the Dis
trict branch of the Southern Con-
ference for Human Welfare, and
Joseph Evans, secretary of the
Twelfth street branch of the YMCA.
Timing Not Coincidence"
Mr.. Hill said waiting for a correc-
ton of Washington's social inequali-
ties by evolution is futile.
Natural change is dead duck, "
he said. Now is the time for &C
ton He said the only appeal is
through the courts.
Mr.. Evans, in discussing the report
of the Presidents Committee on
Civil Rights, said the report came
at a time when the matter of re-
stricted covenants is before the Su-
preme Court and at time when the
citizens associations are fighting to
retain those covenants. He said this
timing was not a coincidence.
