NlRB Dismisses Case
Brought by Foremen

In its first decision since the
Taft-Hartley Act went into full ef-
feet August 20. the National Labor
Relations Board today dismissed q
charge of unfair labor practice
filed against Westinghouse Electric
Corp. by the Foreman's Associa-
ton Of America.
The charge alleged that the
Westinghouse management at East
Springfield, Mass, refused to bar
gain with the union of foremen
About $50 plant supervisors were
involved.
The NLRB dismissed the charge
without going into the merits of the
case, pointing out that the Taft
Hartley Act excludes supervisory
workers from its definition of "em-
ploy." Therefore, there no longer
Is any compulsion on management
to bargain with an organization OF
foremen. Under the Wagner Act
amended by the Taft-Hartley law
both the NLRB and the Supreme
Court ruled that employers must
bargain with unions Of foremen.

Contractors Fear Control
Under ft-HartIey Act
BY the Associotsd Press

DES MONIES. Sept. 3o-Govern-
ing boards OF the Associated General
Contractors of America were told
yesterday that the Taft Hartley
law, although intended Ito bring
equality to management labor rela-
tions, had brought with it Govern
ment regulation of business"
The assertion was made by H. E.
Foreman of Washington, the organ
ization managing director, in his
formal fall report to the meeting.
Mr. Foreman said the law was
written to apply most readily to
manufacturing industries and that
it has brought uncertainty" to the
construction industry.
Mr.. Foreman declared that unless
the American Federation of Labor
complies fully with the anti Com
munist AFFIDAVIT requirement of the
Taft Hartley law it may raise a
problem in connection with the AFL
Building and Construction Trades
Department.
Should the unions in the depart
ment be ineligible for certification
by (the NLRBJ, employees would be
left with uncertainty as to the extent
to which they could recognize any
such union, or resist raiding Of work
by other unions he said.

County Board Meets
Today. on Increase in
Trash Collection Rate

A protest against the increase in
refuse collection rates announced
yesterday by the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission will be
considered by the Montgomery
County commissioners today.
The Sanitary Commission, con-
tending that truck drivers wages
have increased IS per cent in four
years, announced that the rate will
be increased from $125 to SIS per
month, effective tomorrow, in both
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties.
o. w. Youngblood, member Of
the Board of County Commissioners
said he will suggest that the board
act today to protest the increase.
There is little we can do beside
protest" he said. THE Sanitary
Commission legally can increase
rates as much as 1t wants and there
Is nothing we can do about it.
Its an easy way to run busi-
ness, just increase rates to make
up for loss. I think the Legisla-
ture next year should take steps to
see either that the Sanitary Com
mission has decreased powers, or
that the county commissioners have
more control over what independent
agencies may do"
State Senator Roy Tasco Davis,
head of Montgomery's all-Repub-
hcan legislative delegation, said he
was opposed ''in principle" to the
rate increase because the citizens
of the county have no control over
the operation of the sanitary COM
mission through locally elected off,
cials the commission is ap-
pointed by the Governor on a par
tisan basis"
The trash fee Is collected along
with the water service charge. he
pointed out, and consequently a
county resident cannot refuse to pay
for trash collection.
The commission statement de-
clared that its 1916 collections
showed a 20 per cent deficit. 1t
added that there are more than
$1,000 units from which collections
must be made, about 1000 more
| than last wear.

The new Council authorized an
audit Of the towns books for the
past year.

ton of Town Manager James T.
Gobbel until any accusations are
settled. The resignation would have

Quick Probe Asked.
Mr.. Gobel, target of charges on
mismanagements of town funds dur
ing the election campaign. reiterated

on immediate investigation of any

during the election. The measure
specifies nine-man committee
composed of five councilmen and
four private citizens, preferably

Gil action.

sentatives of both sides said last

Jacob J. Edelman, attorney for
the union, said some progress" was
made. but F. E. Street, executive
secretary Of the league. said he
couldn't confirm this.
Much attention has been focused
on the case because of its possible
significance in light Of the Taft
Hartley law. The 1TU as a means
of circumventing the new laws ban
on the closed shop. decided at its
recent national convention to seek
posted conditions of employment"
instead of negotiated contracts.
The international and local were
cited in a complaint filed TUESDAY
by the general counsel Of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board. In
the first action of Its kind since
adoption of the Taft-Hartley Act,
the office contended the union had
been guilty of an unfair labor prac-
tice by failing to bargain collective

the league to move for dismissal of
the NLRB complaint. The league

examiner is scheduled to be held
here next Monday.

OF the contract proposal. A union
spokesman indicated ITU members
were insisting upon the right not
to work with persons unsatisfactory
with them. He did not elaborate.
Earle K. Shave, a former NLRB
regional attorney, who represented
the league at yesterdays meeting.
said the group had offered the ITU

once" he warned, I'VE will take the
matter Immediately to the Federal

against the union"
