Work of installing the necessary

The complete transfer is expected
to be effected by February /, 1948.
Between January ] and February

be carried over the CAA and Air

At present, the Navy pays the

WASHINGTON
|'||N|EEk0.
By GEORGE A. Benson

WASHINGTON, d. c. - It has
been proved often enough that some
labor leaders are more interested
In their own position, backed by ex-
ceptional powers of control, than
in the well-being of the rank and
file of their unions membership.
Their attitude toward the Taft
Hartley Act is proof Of that, for it
places them in opposition to the
benefits and protection which union
workers have found in specific pro-
visions of the law.
Now, unions meAbers are in a
position to ask very pointed ques-
ton of its leaders; to wit:
"Are you more interested in the
future of subversive political or
ganization than you are in our well
fare?"
Take the United Electrical, Radio
and Machine Workers of America,
for example. The officers of this un-
ion, the third largest in the CO. re-
fused 10 sign the non-C Communist
oath required by the Taft-Hartley
Act.
This union was the duly elected
collective bargaining agent of the
employees in seven plants of Rem
ington-Rand, Inc. In view of the
union officers refusal to sign the
required oath the company petition
ed the National Labor Relations
Board two weeks ago for an cleo
tion in these plants to determine
union representation.
The board dismissed the COM
pany's petition. 1t declared that it
could not authorize an election at
which this particular union would
be listed on the ballot.
At The same time, the NLRB's
regional director at Buffalo, N. Y,
informed Rand that this
refusal to meet the laws require
ments made the union ineligible to
invoke any of the processes of this
board (the NLRBJ in protection OF
its Members Thus, because Of the
actions of its officers the rights OF
OAA4OA hhCh4DCAo W oCLlAC lHC QuCS-
tiOn by an election were nullified
Consequently, Remington-Rand
has notified the union that it is
breaking off relations with it.
Presumably, members of this par
ticular union are in "a majority in
the seven Remington-R Rand plants
But they are denied the privileges
and projections of the law by the
recalcitrance of their officers.
The cause of this recalcitrance /:
not clear. 1t may be no more than d
desire to test the constitutiOnaIity
of this particular provision Of the
law. Or it may be determination tc
preserves the leaders enormous
powers at all costs Or it may be a
deep-seated interest in promoting q
subversive group.
Whatever it is. the interests OF
the individual union member are
forgotten. That weakens, rather
than strengthens, the process O
collective bargaining.

LET'S REMEMBER IT'S
CHRISTMAS
BY T. A. Hall. Milford

By T. A. Hall, Milford
Each Christmas Day it seems is
when
Each family should stay at home,
And enjoy themselves the best they
can
Right by themselves alone.
For Christmas always seems to
me
AS day for girls and boys,
To be at home, happy and free
To enjoy their games and toys.
And you know they can't do that
If they galyant everywhere,
And parents don't know where
they are
And too often do not care.
And 1 do feel that Christmas Day
Is most sacred of all our days,
Surely not a day to fool away
In ungodly and foolish ways.
Let's us see the day is not marred
With profane and vulgar things,
Remember it's the birthday of our
Lord,
And remember the joy it brings.
The shepherd boys that day were
glad
When they heard the glad, glad
news,
OF the Babe in swaddling clothes
clad
A Saviour for all people to choose
He is our Saviour, let's praise His
name
With voices loud and clear
For this is the day when to eartl
! He came,
Let's keep it as a day most dear.

A voice we loved is stilled
A spot is vacant in our hearts
That never can be filed.
Somewhere behind the sunset,
Where loveliness never dies,
He lives in a land of glory
With the blue and gold of the sky.
And we who have always loved him
Whose passing has brought sad tears
Will cherish his memory always
To brighten the passing years.
