More Bell Employees
Honor Picket Line

More employees of the Ohio
Bell Telephone Co. here who
did not go on strike with the

it was revealed here on Wednes-
day of this week by Ann Tierney,

work.

Handbills were passed out by
the pickets to employees who
went to work at the Huron

Tuff Accused
Of 'BoSsism'
On Labor Bill

WASHINGTON, April %
(LPA) - The long-smouldering
clash between presidential hope
full Sen. Robert Taft (R., Ohio)
and the man he ousted as pos
sible chairman of the Senate La
Dor Committee finally came to
a head last week.
Sen. George Aiken (R., Vt)
charged Taft with ''high-handed
political boSsism" in trying to
force nion-wrecking legisla-
ton through the Senate Labor
Committee. Aiken, known as
one of the three Republicans on
the committee friendly to labor,
strongly opposed Taft's insist
ence on an omnibus anti-labor
bill, and charged that Taft's
all-or-nothing tactic was "an
attempt to put the President on
the spot
Taft's bill to curb labor's
rights under the Wagner Act

thor of the law. Senator Robert

declared.
'The omnibus labor bill Of
fered by Sen. Taft has already
served a useful public purpose.
1t has cleared the air of all the
sham, pretence and demagoguery
of the last few months that the
Republican leadership seeks to
modify the labor laws only to
promote equality in collective
bargaining and in dustria |

Bell Union President

Support for the strike of the
National Federation of Tele-
phone Workers was voted by the
Toledo Industrial Union Coun-
ellis eecutive board at meeting
held at TIUC headquarters on

In a strongly worded resolu-
ton, the executive board went

moral and physical support to
the strike in order that the
NFTW would win. 1t urged all
local unions and units of ANAL
gamated locals to Immediately
organize groups to assist on the
picket line.
In addition to support of the
strike, the board asked all shop
committees to take necessary
steps" to stop non-union or non
striking employees of the ONO
Bell Telephone Co. from making
telephone repairs on shop prop
erty.

A report to the delegates will
be given by the committee of
Local CIO representatives who
are in Washington at the present
time joining forces with CIO of
ficers from all over the nation

Changing of the resolution

restrictive labor legislation.
Action of the Chamber of
Commerce was taken following
hastily called meeting of 100
local business and industrial
leaders following Councils ac-

The letter asked Council to

center. The big boy is marvellous
ly co-ordinated, handles himself
almost flawlessly, and was a con-
stant threat all evening, even in
the final period when the Mon
archs finally stopped his scoring
by changing defensive tactics.
Aside from Dennison, tn eI
Carey team is only average, al
though a lad named Snoberger
proved to be a "Dead-eye Dick"
from the floor, pumping in seven
long, one-handed push shots dur
ing the fracas.
Monarchs Play Superior
Except when it came to scoring
MarySville was easily the su-
perior team. Better coached and
better balanced, the Monarchs
outplayed Carey all the way on
the floor. But the locals were
having trouble hitting the basket
from start to finish, as evidenced
by the game statistics. Marysville
attempted SO shots and dropped
in only II, whereas Carey got IA
out of only 43 attempts. Had it
not been that the locals better
floor play gave them more scor-
ing chances, Carey would easily
have won.
AS it was, it was purely a team
victory, with all five boys work
ing together like a well-kept
machine. All five turned in spark
ling floor games and very few
errors were committed. Only one
thing marred the game and that
was mediocre officiating. While
only eight fouls were called on
! Marysville and 10 on Carey, both
teams got away with foul after
foul which nearly everyone in the
gymnasium except the officials
saw.
Close for Three Quarters
For three quarters, the game
was as close as any basketball
