phant foods for four days after
being stranded in dried-up
swamp bordered by jungle, 200 miles
from Tabora, in Tanganyika, after
their plane had been forced down on

miles were two native bush families
from whom they got the plants that
elephants eat, and boiled water.

nessman, told how the pilot landed
near nightfall in an area of caked
mud and potholes, after losing his

saw them. After two days a native
runner was persuaded to 60 for
help and eventually a truck was
sent from Tabore to take them in.

L Law Makes NLRB Nerve Center
In Lobor-M0nuqement Setup

cannot be prosecuted until he agrees
there is a legitimate grounds for
complaint. The counsel also will di-
rect NLRB regional offices. He will
serve as policeman for the board,
seeing to it that its orders are car
Iried out.
Board Becomes Labor Court.
With the shift of the administra-
tive and prosecuting functions to
the shoulders of the general counsel,
the board itself is turned into a
labor court.
Federal courts-circuit courts OF
appeal-are brought into the new
machinery in two ways. The board
may petition the courts for proper
enforcement of it's decisions. Then
any person "aggrieved" by final
decision of the board may ask the
court to modify or set aside the
order.
All Of the above refer to pro-
cedures for handling unfair labor
practices.
OF course, under the new act,
unions may be sued for damages by
employers for various reasons. That
will be explained in later article.
| Sections of the act applying to
the NLRB, the general counsel and
unfair labor practices become effec-
tive August %, so days after enact
ment.
The new law abolishes the NLRE
review section, comprising about sc
attorneys who boiled down inves-
tigatory reports and hearing record
for board members. This was done
because OF charges that attorneys OF
the section Influenced the members
Hereafter review work must be
done by board members with the
help of their own individual legal
staffs.
The law also forbids the NLRE
to employ economic analysts to help
out with its work.
The general counsel, like the five
members of the board, will be ap-
pointed by the President, subject tc
Senate confirmation. All will receive
$4,000 q year. The counsel term OF
Office is four years; that of the board
members five years, except that, OF
the two new members to be added
one may be appointed for only a
tWo-year term.
Requires Outstanding Counsel.
Critics of the Taft-Hartley Act
and they include many of the most
prominent labor relations officials of
Government in recent years-con-
tend the law as it pertains to the
NLRB is unworkable from an ad-
minlstrativ and practical stand
point. Others say it provides good
and smooth procedure. Only time
can tell which side is correct.
Certainly the person selected as
general counsel must be one with
outstanding qualifications. 1t would
appear that both he and the board
might become so begged down in
complaints and other work that the
whole industrial relations fabric Of
the Nation might be endangered,
unless Congress became unusually
helpful in supplying the funds neces-
sary to do a good job.

5000 Ship Workers
Due 10 Join 10000
On Strike Monday
BY the Assoeieied Pr=--s

NEW YORK, June 27.-Charles
A. Leone, regional director for
the Industrial Union of Marine
and Shipbuilding Workers of
America, CIO, says that on Mon
day 5000 more ship repair and
construction men will join the
10000 that walked out yesterday.
Mr.. Leone announced last night
that 1000 employees of the Federal
Drydock Co., Kearny, N. j., and
1000 of the Sullivan Drydock Co.,
Brooklyn, would strike Monday.
There was no break in the dead
lock between the union and the
Bethlehem Steel Co.. whose nine
Atlantic Coast shipyards were
closed yesterday, or the Atlantic
Basin Iron Works, which was forced
to close its Brooklyn yard.
Police reported picketing of the
yards in this area was completely
orderly" The union reduced the
strength of its picket lines during
the day. leaving only token pickets.
Although its demands, which in
cluded a 13-cent hourly wage in
crease, brought stalemates with
other Atlantic and Gulf Coast yards,
the union said it still was nego-
tiating with the Todd Shipyards
Corp, operator of two large yards
here.
Mr.. Leone said Todd was bar
gaining in good faith" and no strike
against its yards would be called
while the condition lasted.
Bethlehem officials had said yes
terday that it could not raise its
wages because the present scale. a
minimum of $138 for mechanics,
was forcing the American yards to
lose business to European yards.

Commanding officers of the Royal
New Zealand Air Force say the
force has benefited as result OF a
recent strike of airmen at three
Auckland stations. The officers
promptly released total of 27O men

suitable for retention. The rest
of the strikers, about $50, then re-
turned to work after having struck
for a 40-hour 5-day week.
Officers then interviewed airmen
who had been on strike but had

stay in service. Some we're retained,
others dismissed Total strength of
the air force now is 4.167, of whom

the Supreme Court outlawed wire
tapping as a means of gathering
evidence.
In May, 1899, he headed an inves-
tigatior into bootleg milk" being
shipped into the District.
More recently, Capt. Truscott was

Committee Increases
Soldiers Home Mess
Funds 10 Meet Rise

The increased cost of food was
recognized by the House Appropria-
tions Committee today, when it
voluntarily increased the mess"
funds for the United States Soldiers
Home here for next year by IA per
cent.
The raise was $47,500 over the
budget estimate and would bring
the general mess ration in the 1948
supply bill for the home to little
more than SO cents day, with in
creases for other messes, such as
hospital, medical and dairy proper
tionately.
so Cents Originally Allowed.
The Budget Bureau had allowed
the home a 60-cent ration per day,
Mai. Gen. H. K. Loughry, governor
of the home, testified during hear
ings on the War Department Civil
Functions Appropriation bill. This
was based on food costs as OF
September, 1916.
But when the witness was asked
by committee members if food prices
had gone up or down since last
September, he reported that, based
on Army rations, they have risen
IA per cent"
Pressed for reports on Army ra-
tions, Gen. Loughry said the cost
of the Army ration on September
1946, was 1929 cents. In May, 1947
it was 91.32 cents, an increase OF
about IL cents.
Enlargement Fund Cut.
The Appropriations Committee
struck from the budget for the
Soldiers Home, however, an item
of $4,000 for plans and specif1ca-
tions for renovation and enlarge

said, would mot be a favorable time
to undertake improvements, unless
urgently needed, and of vital i'm
portance." The appropriation for
the home next year, to come from
the trust fund of the institution
and not from taxes, was cut $172,5OO
to $2,114,100.

The Taft Hartley Act imposes
great new responsibilities and duties
on the National Labor Relations
Board and makes drastic changes
in its operations from those called
for in the Wagner Labor Relations
Act, which is now superseded by the
new law.
NLRB now becomes the Govern
ment's most active labor agency-a
sort of nerve center for labor-man-
agement relations of all industries
whose operations affect interstate
commerce. 1t is through new tasks
prescribed for NLRB that the Gov
eminent becomes more involved in
labor relations than it has ever
been before in peacetime.
In order that 1t may be able to
handle its expected heavy load,
membership of the board itself is
increased to five members from the
present three, and it will be neces-
sary to at least double the size of
it's staff
Becomes Two Units.
Aside from additions and changes
in types of operations, NLRB actu-
ally is split into two autonomous
parts-the office of general counsel
and the board itself.
So that" increased responsibilities
of NLRB may be appreciated, It
should be pointed out here that the
new act makes unions subject to
charges by employers of unfair labor
practices-10 different types-for
| the first time This and other
changes were made by Congress for
the alleged purpose of equalizing
the power of unions and employers.
Heretofore, only unions could file
charges of unfair practices. NLRB
under the Wagner Act was the
protector of the employe in his
right to join union and bargain
collectively with employers for i'm
proved working conditions. Now
NLRB becomes the advocate and
Judge of the complaints of both
parties.
More Elections Provided.
Adding to the work load of NLRB
are provisions calling for many
more elections than before among
mployes-election to determine
bargaining representatives and to
decide issues of the union shop as
we'll as to determine whether to
accept an employers final offer in
a dispute over a contract renewal.
Congress split the NLRB, provid-
ing for a statutory general counsel,
in the belief the prosecution and
judicial functions of the agency
should be separate.
The general counsel probably will
be the most powerful figure in all
labor management relations. His
authority is final and superior to the
board, in that the board cannot
step into a case unless he says so.
The counsel receives and investi-
gates all charges of unfair practices
and issues and prosecutes COM
plants before the board. A charge
