Former Shallnar Man
Held in Murder Case

A 52-year-old Russian eX-coal
miner, who lived at Shallmar, this
county, until 1916, is a prisoner in
the Montgomery county, Pa, jail at
Norristown, awaiting trial on a
charge of clubbing to death a 63-
year-old man who allegedly inter
fered in love affair, according to the
district attorney Fred Smillie, of
that county.
The examiner, identified as andre
Broeckey, who went by the name of
Andrew Bruckey while living at Shall
mar, already has been indicted by
the Montgomery County Grand Jury
for the murder Of John Jacanyics
Philadelphia, on September 6. Smil-
lie said Broeckey has admitted the
Staying.
The woman over whom the Staying
allegedly occurred was said by
Smillie to be Esther Hayes, At, of the
Philadelphia section
Broeckey, described by Pennsylvania
State Trooper H. L. Aster as mot a

desirable citizen" while living at
Phoenixville and met the Hayes
woman who lived with him for six
months. Fascinated by beau brum-
mel aged 63 who gave her more to
drink than Broecky, she left Brock
ey, according to Smillie. Smillie said
he learned that Broeckey repeatedly
declared 'If | find the man who got
my woman, I'll kill him.
Trooper Aster said Broeckey at
first intended to plead guilty but that
his sons, John and Frank, who live
at Shallmar, went to Norristown and
employed an attorney to defend him.
Aster said Broeckey "bootlegged" in
Garrett county for period of years
and was arrested in January, 1882
on a bootlegging charge but that
there is no record of disposition of
the case.

Priest Urges Catholics
To Join Labor Unions

Grand Rapids, Mich.-QLNS).-
The Rev. Hubert Maino of Detroit
urged Catholics to recognize the
right of joining labor unions as a
duty in addressing the Catholic Tri-
State Congress here. "Here in AM
erica" he said, "we justly prize
the democratic way of life. In view
of this devotion to the ideal of poll
tical democracy, it is strange that
tn development of economic demo-
cracy has had such slow progress
among u.s."
Declaring that Catholics should
not "allow themselves to be drawn
into an attitude of undiscerning
opposition to organized labor" he
asserted, ain particular there is no
justification for Catholic workers
to remain in state of indifference
or lethargy. They have the unmis-
taxable directives. of the Pope,
their Bishops and clergy to become
active in the labor movement, and
to exact their influence to orient it
to the common good"

Do Not Bargain

structive speech before the Ameri-
can Bar Association. Denham says
he is not going to permit the
NLRB to become a bargain coun-
ter for employers seeking injunc-
tions. Employers will have to prove
that the alleged unfair labor prac-
tices by the unions will have an
impact in substantial way, on
the public at large"
On the so-called featherbedding
provisions of the Act, Denham says
that the term is generally given a
much broader Interpretation in
common usage than is implied in
the Act itself. He singles out
standby crews" who get paid
when they don't do any work as
clearly coming under the ban of
the act. Denham implies that such
common practices as call-in pay,
paid holidays, ETC., will not come
under the Act.
On the question of jurisdictional
disputes in the construction indus
try, Denham admits to being un-
certain. For one thing, to what ex-
tent Will the NLRB assert its au-
thorlty IN an area which in large
part has been regarded as being
lntra-state commerce? The Boards

Lip LABOR GROUPS
FILE REQUIRED DATA

Washington-The Labor Depart
ment reported that Lip labor or
ganizations, local and international,
had filed financial reports and 9TH
er information required under the
Taft Hartley law.
The total is only a small part of
tic $1,000 to 75,CC0 union organ
izations existing throughout the
country.
Under the new labor law, unions
must file this data with the Labor
Department = and affidavits that
their officials are non-Communist
with the National Labor Relations
Board-in order to become eligi-
BILE to use the NLRB's facilities.
William l.. Connolly, director of
the departments Fair Labor Stan
dards Division, said many interna-
tional unions had requested forms
for distribution to their locals.
Most unions belonging to the
American Federation of Labor and
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions are delaying action.

Washington-LPA)-The U. S.
spokesman for the Confederation

Mrs. Franklin ID. Roosevelt, chair

Nations, that "By military action
the Bolivian government has sup
pressed the miners labor organi
zation; has arrested and threatened
it's leaders; has impeded the right
of miners to assemble and main
tain organized activities; has exiled
men known to be active organizers;
and has actively supported, also by
force, the policy of mass dismis-
sails on which the tin operators are
embarked. Ernesto Galarza, speak
ing for the miners, urged an inves-
tigation of the violations of civil
rights in Bolivia.

that he would not yield an inch on
his personal Interpretation of the
law. In an address to the American
Bar Assn convention in Cleveland,
Denham went out of his way to in
clude an implied threat that if large
unions do not use the NLRB IA
cilities they may be victimized by
smaller unions.
Said Denham, "Some labor or
ganizations have indicated an in
tention or desire to boycott the act
and to refuse to utilize the services
of the Board. Labor organizations
now exist in highly competitive
field. Many of them are decidedly
big business; but if big business
were denied the protection of the
courts in it's legitimate operations
it would soon come to be the prey
of the smaller elements which en-
joy such protection, and can at
tack and raid it with impunity."
Denham also conceded what la
Dor lawyers contended even before
the laws enactment, that portions
Of it are vague, that it will pro-
vide a field-day for attorneys, that
it will flood the NLRB with cleo
ton cases and that "there may be
some inequalities in it." On cleo
tions, Denham said that last year
the NLRB handled 1856 represen-
tation petitions and 6943 elections.
"This year it will probably double
that number because of the new
provisions for some five or six ad
ditional types of elections in var
iQus stages of representation rSat-
ters. The union shop provisions
alone could equal or exceed the
entire total of all elections held
last year."
Turning to secondary boycotts,
Denham declared, "They are repug-
nant to the American spirit of free
enterprise, and are, in my opinion,
a violation of the fundamental prin-
ciples that gave rise to our legis-
lation against monopolies and re-
straints of trade"
On the complex problem of how
the nations huge construction in
dustry will be covered by the MI
RIB, Denham could only admit, 81
do not believe anyone in the in
dustry, either on the side of labor |
or the employer, or within the Of
ficial structure of the BOARD, has
yet been able to arrive at clear
as to how this prob
lem can successfully be handled"
Another Denham ruling brought
fresh labor criticism last week
when the general counsel announ-
ced that unions filing unfair labor
practices complaints must produce
a prima facie case within 72 hours
or have the case dismissed.
This decision, labor lawyers said,
imposes an unprecedented hardship
on unions because hitherto the
NLRB has undertaken the investi-
cation of unfair labor practice COM
plants against employers. For
unions to have to produce their own
evidence and their own witnesses
not only would require more than
days in many instances but would
also prove expensive in some cases,
hey contended.

Anfi-Communisf a
Fight DisruPfs
NMU Convention

New York-LPA)-- The long,
expected anti-Communist explosion
in the Natl Maritime Union-C CIO al
Hapst blew the roof off the unions
N&nnial convention here last week
until the unions counsel warned
that threatened court action by un-
seated delegates might invalidate
the entire convention.
The convention opened with
charges by NMU President Joseph
Curran that "the machinery has
been set up by the Communist Par
ty to handle this convention; they
already have someone sitting in
the gallery here to run the ma
chine"
By the end of the week the bat
tie between the Curran forces and
those supported by the Commun-
lists continued until more than so
delegates threatened court action
when they were refused credentials
because they could not show 80
days sea duty on the ships they
represented.
The first showdown came on
Curran's "rank-and- proposal
to keep union officers from con-
vention committees. Amidst shout
ing and disorder on the floor, this
proposal was passed on a show of
hands. The unions counsel ruled
the action unconstitutional until the
credentials committee had report
ed and it was shown that there
were more votes than accredited
delegates.
Curran's anti Communist fight
after a recess called because en-
lftAgh delegates hadn't been seated
<SSsuffered it's first major setback
when his group elected only six
men to the 15-man credentials COM
mittee. Nine of the committee men,
bers, according to Curran, were
promoted by the Communists"
The rank-and-file caucus, backed
by Curran, raised the Communist
issue when it distributed mimeo-
graphed lists of alleged "Commun-
lists Party leaders at this conven-
tion."
The Communist issue permeated
every other convention considera-
tion, with even some Of the men
named to the relatively unimpor-
tant rules committee, denied their
position because of the 30 days at.
sea requirement.
During debate on the seating of
the Pittsburgh delegation Stack
contended that Curran was recog-
nizing only his friends. In reply,
Curran announced the "NMU's
democratic maneuver" which was
lineup of potential speakers at the
microphone. The debate went on as
more than 80 men lined up to
speak.

European L q b or
Leaders Here To
Study Methods

Washington - UPA)-- Fifteen
European transport labor leaders
making up one of the largest de-
legations of its kind ever to come
to this country-were guests in the
nations capital this week of the
Railroad Brotherhoods and the
AFL.
They came under the auspices
Of the Init Transportworkers Fed
GRAFTON, which represents about a.
OOO,OOO workers in transport unions
of democratic nations around the
world.
About half the members of the
delegation are also members of the
Executive Committee of the ITF
and while in Washington they held
the fall meeting of that body.
The Railway Labor Executives
Association, composed of the chiefs
of 20 unions on American railroads,
served as host to the delegation
during it's stay in the capital. The
RLEA is affiliated with the ITF.
The visiting unionists hail from
Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Nor
way, Sweden, Netherlands and Bel
gium, plus the Spanish Railway
mems Union in exile.
Many of them participated ac-
lively in the struggle against Hit
lerism during the war, and some did
great job in the Underground"
movements at the risk Of their
lives.
During. their stay in this coun-
try they hope to build closer rela-
tions with U. S. transport unions
and at the same time study trans
portion methods in the States.
Before coming to Washington,
they stopped off at New York City
and Philadelphia, and from the cap
ital they are slated to go to Gin
Cleveland, Detroit and
Chicago. Rail unions will be their
hosts in each city.
Chief of the delegation is J. H.
Oldenbroek, who has been ITF gen
eral secretary for some years. The
members are accompanied by two
Willy Dorchain, man.
ager Of the ITF office in New
York, and E. Raberg, representa-
i've in the U. S. of the Swedish
Seamen's union.

authority is limited to interstate
commerce. Then the casual nature
of employer-employee relationships
in the construction industry raises
extremely difficult administrative
problems.
For the long run, looms pos
sible conflict between Denham and
what at the moment appears to be
the liberal (relative to Denham at
least) ma jority of the Board. This
means Herzog, Houston, and Muir
dock, and even Gray and Reynolds,
may not take too kindly their re-
legation to a subordinate role, a
role which fits in well with Den
hams calculations.
