Class Freight Rate Boost
Is Approved in Virginia
By the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. S.-1n-
creases sought by Virginia railroads
on rates for intrastate class" ship
ments of freight were granted by
the State Corporation Commission
yesterday.
Denied by the sec, however, was
a petition by the rail carriers for an
increase of about 20 per cent IN
interstate rates on fertilizer.
Yesterdays sec order had the
effect of raising from 20 to 224 per
cent the increases granted on intra-
state shipments In an earlier case
before the commission. The rise
applied to both Official" and South
ern" territory, and was based on
preliminary changes of 10 per cent
increase in Official" territory and a
10 per cent cut in Southern territory
The Virginia changes w;re made
to conform with interstate rate
changes ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The new freight rates may be made
effective within 10 days, the sec
order said.
In the fertilizer rate case, the cor
poration commission found no JUS
tification for reversing its decision
recently against an increase. Last
January, the sec had allowed the
railroads to make permanent tenn
porary raise in fertilizer tariffs.

Glenn Martin Local
Asks JAW 10 File
Anti-Red Affidavits
By The Asseeiotsd Press

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 9.-The
International Executive Board OF
the CIO United Automobile Work
ers had request today from Bal
timore local to file non-Com-
munist affidavit with the NLRB in
order to save the locals contract
with the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft
Co.
The request came yesterday from
committee of Local 1888, Balti-
more, as the boards quarterly meet
ing got under way.
The Taft-Hartley labor law re-
quires all union and local officers
to file Communist afidavits
under penalty of not being recog-
nized by the NLRB. Top JAW
officials have said they are opposed
to filing the statements.
Had Plurality in Balloting.
The problem, explained by the
Baltimore committee, shapes up
thusly:
Local 1888, which held the Martin
contract for several years, received
only plurality in summer collec-
tive bargaining election requested by
the international Association OF Ma
chinists, independent.
An examination of about 600 chal-
lenged ballots would give Local 1888
a majority over the lam and an
antiunion bloc, the committee said.
However, the NLRB refused to Ger
tify Local 1888 because of the JAWS
refusal to file the afhdavits.
Should a new election be ordered,
Local 1873 would not appear on the
ballot for the same reason.
The problem on which the board
took no immediate action, was en-
phasized by a CLIO decision last
week to postpone consideration of
the Taft Hartley law and the new
NLRB until the CLIO convention
next month.
Reuther Announces Candidacy.
Yesterdays session included the
expected announcement of Presi-
dent Walter P. Reuther's candidacy
for election. Mr.. Reuther said he
would discuss his platform some
time before the national JAW con-
vention at Atlantic City in Novem-
Der.
The board also passed a resolu-
ton granting a request to create
national garage workers council
to organize mechanics throughout
the country. The request was made
by Ray Dooe, president of Detroit

non Communist statements with
the board
The council debated compliance
with the ruling of Robert N. Den
ham, NLRB general counsel, all
yesterday afternoon and finally
postponed until Friday a final de-
cision in the matter.
The AFL Council is composed of
10 Federation vice presidents, Mr..
Green and Secretary Treasurer
George Meany, all Of whom must
sign the Communist statements
under Mr.. Denham's ruling, if any
of the los AFL unions is to use
NLRB machinery for bargaining
elections or the filing of unfair
labor practices against employers.
Legal Questions Explored.
Mr.. Green said the council post
poned final action because it desired
to look into some legal questions
involved and wanted ito make in
ouiry into the directive of Denham."
He explained that, while the ruling
requires members of the AFL Coun-
Gil to file the affidavits, it makes no
such requirements of the CLIO Elk
ecutive Board, which has similar
powers and duties in the rival organ
ization. However, the nine vice
presidents as well as the president
and secretary treasurer of the CLIO
are required to file.
Despite Mr.. Green's optimism over
council agreement on the affidavit
matter, it was learned that a row
over the question developed within
the council.
While large majority of the Is
members favored going along with
Mr.. Denham in the matter, a
minority led by John L. Lewis OF
the United Mine Workers, favored
DELAYING a decision indefinitely In
an attempt to embarrass the NLRB
and Mr.. Denham. Mr.. Lewis SAID
he believed Mr.. Denham could be
forced to change his ruling.

Ex-Emp|oye Says Farben
Promoted Unemployment
By the Associated Press

NUREMBERG, Germany, Sept
9.-The giant I. G. Farben industrial
empire was accused today before an
American war crimes court of pro-
noting unemployment in 1882 to
help boost Adolf Hitler's National
Socialist Party into power In Ger
many.
Hermann Fritz Ruther, a Farben
employe from 1927 to 1916, made the
accusation in statement intro
duced by the prosecution to bolster
charges that Farben backed the
Nazis from the start in the hope OF
rearming Germany for war and
cashing in on the venture.
AS the trial resumed after four
day recess, the court president
Judge Curtiss Shake, announced the
case against Max Bruggemann, a
Farben director, would be dropped
This reduced to % the number of de-
PENDANTS. Bruggemann is In
Dortmund hospital suffering from a
serious heart condition.
Referring to Farben's role in the
1898 period when the Nazis rocket
ed to power, Mr.. Ruther said: After
the setback the Nazi Party suffered
at the elections of November s.
1892, a great number of Farben
Leuna employees were laid off. 1t was
generally believed that this num-
Der greatly exceeded the scope Of
the reduction necessary"
