NLRB THROWS OUT
SO FOREMEN CASES

Washington - (LPA) - Fifty
NLRB collective bargaining elec-
tion cases involving foremen and
supervisory employees were thrown
out by the Board last week be-
cause of the Taft Hartley ban on
collective bargaining for such en-
ployes.
The so pending cases involved
about 5400 foremea in 16 states
and the following II unions: Dis
trict so, United Mine Workers
AFL; Int'l Union of Operating En-
gineers-AFL; Foreman's Assn of
America -unaffiliated; Int'l Broth
erhood of Paper Makers-AFL; Util-
ity Workers Union-CIO; Int'l As
sociation of Machinist-unaffiliated;
Int1 Longshoremen's & Ware
housemen's Union-CIO; Textile
Workers Union-CIO; United Of
flee & Professional Workers-CIO;
Insurance Supervisors Union-AFL.
Labor lawyers pointed out, how
ever, that if an employer wishes
he can still hold representation
elections among his foremen but
NLRB facilities may not be used
for this purpose. An employer and
a union may agree on an election
conducted by an independent organ
ization and accept the latter's cer-
tification.

Brifuin=s Trade
Union Congress

Southport, England-UPA) -
The British Trades Union Congress
annual convention was thrown into
brief furor here last week by
an attack on the World Federation
Of Trades Unions by an American
fraternal delegate, George Rich
ardson, secretary of the Int'l Asso-
citation of Fire Fighters-AFL.
Richardson was jeered and booed
when he criticized the WFTU and
declared, American labor and the
American people have only the
highest regard for the Russian peo-
pie. But the present difficulties are
due entirely to the Kremlin's vio-
lation of every agreement it made
to guarantee independence and
democratic rights Of its weak and
poor neighboring states"
The chairman halted the demon
stration with a reminder to the
delegates that "We honor free
speech in this country" but added
that "The council disagrees pro-
foundly with what he says, but he
has the right to express his views"
When Richardson, continuing,
said, "We believe in the elimina-
tion of slave labor" he was greet
ed with shouts of "What about the
Negroes ?"

Profits Still
Seek Ceiling

Washington UPA) - Industrial
and business profits are continuing
upward in dizzy spirals with no
ceilings yet in sight, Commerce
Dept report indicated last week.
Publicly reported dividends, ac-
counting for about 6O% of all di-
vidends paid, amounted to s444,-
100000 in July, compared with
1894 800, 900 for the same month
in 1916. Totals for the three
months ended July 81 were $1,213,-
100000 compared with a $1,050,-
100000 last year, a 1871 jump.
Many Industrial profit grabs,
however, were closer to the 1891
increase showed by Keystone Steel
& Wire, which raised it's net profit
for IL months from $2,l09,591 to
$4,837, ,955. Atlas Plywood Corp.
did even better, hiking its net take
for IL months from $1,476,904 to
$3,093,411.
The Securities & Exchange Com
mission further emphasized the
rosy position of business in a re-
port showing that net sales of
104l listed corporations for the sec
ond quarter of 1947 totalled S20,-
563,089, ,000-an increase of nearly
40% over the same quarter of last
year. OF these, 753 were manufac-
turing corporations whose sales
showed a jump Of nearly 469s.

Wellington, N. Z.-(LPA)--Am-

around was given here last week
when the Wellington Chamber Of
Commerce inaugurated campaign
to pressure this country's Labor
Government into killing the 40-hour

44 hours.
Labor Party newspapers discov-
cred that the Chamber of Com

view to securing evidence in sup
port of its campaign" which was
seen as "the most determined at

been made since it was first intro
duced."
at is clear" declared The STAN
dard, official newspaper of the New
Zealand Labor Movement, "that the
whole idea is to cut down the over
time costs by compelling all en-
ployes to work an extra four hours
a week at ordinary rates of pay.
There is, however, no indication
that this saving will be passed on
to the consumers in reduced prices.
The inference is that those workers
who are already working four hours
overtime week are to be expected
to make a gift of the difference
between the ordinary rates of pay
and the overtime rates."

New York-(LPA)-The nations

have continued to operate under

Meanwhile, the ITU quietly held
firm to its program of signing no
contracts under the Taft-Hartley
law but at the same time refusing
to work in shops and plants where
union rules and standards are not
in force. ITU convention decisions
were followed by bulletin telling
members:
If 1T becomes necessary to leave
your job make no statement to
employer conciliator or anyone else
as to the reason. You will strike
or quit work because you do not
want to work for a particular en-
ployer or do not want to work at
all; you will be refraining from
working because you want to do
so and for no other reason.

pie, supposedly enjoying free
press, will have but a mere shadow
of that freedom under Randolph's
one-man rule Randolph has
declared war on the publishers and

AFL Distillery Workers
Get Beneficial Contract

New York City. - The AFL's
Distillery Workers Union announ-
ced the successful negotiation of
new beneficial contract with the
Joseph +. Seagram & Sons distill-
cries. More than 2,400 union men,
bers are affected under the agree
ment.
John E. McKiernan, union vice
president, said the union gained a
clear cut victory on all points at
issue during the period of negotia-
tion.
Under the terms of the contract
union members receive wage in
creases ranging from Is to 17lh
cents per hour, and participation in
a health and welfare program fin
anced by the company and admin
istered jointly by the union and the
company.
The union has locals in Seagram
plants located in Louisville, KY,

and Baltimore and Relay, Nd.

over the contention by Rep. Fred
Hartley (R, N. J.) in a radio ad-
dress, that unless the anti-Commu-
mist affidavits are filed, "employ-
ers will be free to commit unfair
labor practices against members Of
non-complying unions with impun-
ity." This type of browbeating, ac-
cording to one labor lawyer, was
apparently designed to head off
any possible move by unions to
withdraw the name of the union in
an unfair labor practice case, for
example, and substitute the name
of an Individual worker.

INTERNAL NLRB WAR
ON ANTI-COMMUNIST
AFFIDAVITS LOOMS

AL Washington-UPA) - Possibil-
blty of an internal battle within the
Natl Labor Relations Board over
the issue of Taft Hartley anti-C
munist affidavits was seen increas-
ingly likely last week by govern
ment officials.
Touch-off point of the warfare
may be the Interpretation of NLRB
General Counsel Robert Denham
that local unions will be denied
NLRB status unless top AFL and
CIO officials also sign the affi-
davits.
There was mounting evidence
this week that Board members
would rebel against Denham's rul-
ing and even reverse his interpre-
tation. Admittedly the policy of
some CIO and AFL unions of by
passing the NLRB has already
made great inroads on the Boards
business. The AFL executive coun-
Gil, scheduled to meet in Chicago
this week, may decide on a nation
al policy regarding the affidavits.
Vice-president John L. Lewis was
reported as strongly opposed to
filing.
NLRB officials privately admit
that if Denham's Interpretation is
allowed to stand and if the ma
jority of unions refrain from using
NLRB procedure that agency will
become almost completely isolated
and will work in a near-vacuum
while labor-management relations
.lreturn to the dog -eat-dog era.
y The more sensible Republican
hackers of the Hartley law,
according to columnists Joseph and
Stewart Alsop, shave been horri-
fled privately by the new coun-
sells overzealous Interpretation of
the anti-Communist provisions of
the Act. They were Mortified SIM
ply because his Interpretation
clearly threatened to reduce the
whole relationship between gov
ernment, management and labor to
a complete shambles."
Another battle area may develop
