 Independence

QUITANDINHA, Brazil, (P)- Cuba formally presented to the in- ter-American defense conference yesterday demand for joint hemisphere action to protect what it called "the economic independ- ence" of American states.

 The presentation of the Cuban demand came after the apparent failure of series of 'coffee table conferences" arranged by confer ence president Raul Fernandes, the Brazilian foreign minister, in an effort to avert an almost certain controversy between the United States and Cuba.
 The island republics stand was against what it called "economic aggression" on "unilateral econo- mic acts and threats"

Unions Sign Con- tracts Before New Law Effective
CBy The Associated Press

'bJ lIlC HSoOOldlCu CSo'
 The nations labor unions got new set of rules today the Taft Hartley labor law, and only sec onds before it went into effect at midnight 07,OOO production work CTS and the Ford Motor Go. agreed to a contract clause for a union shop.
 The united automobile workers (CIO) thus bypassed a provision of the law making majority ap- proval by a company's employees a requirement for a union shop.
 RumblingS of a dock strike on the west coast, and move by the long-organized printers to ignore the new rules to a large extent, were other accompaniments to the advent of the sharply-debated new law.
 During the so days since the laws enactment by the 80th Con- gress over President Truman's veto, many unions had taken ac- ton similar to that of the Ford workers. In New York City, the Greater New York CIO council estimated that 65 percent of the 10000 employers having contracts with 300 CIO locals there had signed one-year contract exten- sions before the deadline.
 One of the acts sponsors, Rep Hartley R.-N. J0, last night at Chicago urged management to take advantage of its rights under the law adn said that wherever we find a contract that violates the spirit of the law, we're going to bring management as well as la bor to Washington and ask them How come'?"
 ''Now that you've got an act that protects your rights, aren't you willing to stand up and be counted and fight for this law" Hartley asked in an address before the national food distributors as- sociation.
