BIG QUESTION: CAN UNION
REPORTS BE kept A SECRET

by the Labor Dept emphasizes
that "This report must be filed not
only by any labor organization de-
string to raise any such question
before the Board but also by any
national or international labor or
ganization of which such labor or
ganization is an affiliate or con-
stituent part"
Scores of AFL and CIO unions
have already indicated that they
will not "do business with the
Taft Hartley version of the NLRB
and as a result the case load of
the Board has suddenly plummet-
ed from an average of 1000 new
cases a month to 200. In the face
of this there were indications that
the NLRB would not be able to ex-
clude the non-filing unions from
representation disputes. The nom
filing groups will probably have
the right to intervene when anoth-
er union claims jurisdiction in a
collective bargaining unit where
the former has a contract.

Potters Pick
PicnicSite
Outing Will Be Held
Aug. 16 At Laurel Park

Clarksburg, w. Va.-With many
members of Local Union SO taking
advantage of the opportunity to
meet their former buddies at a
state convention of the American
Legion, the attendance at our last
meeting fell off considerably. We
feel the boys were justified in TAX
ing the night off, but we mentioned
the fact to remind them that i'm
portant business will be transacted
at our next session and full at
tendance is requested.
Shop committee reports revealed
everything to be running along
smoothly with but few exceptions.
These were taken care of by the
shop committee members who are
ever willing to lend helping hand
and see that adjustments are made
to the satisfaction of all parties
concerned.
Bro. Shriver gave full report
of the picnic to be held Saturday,
August 16, at Laurel Park. Buses
will leave Colombos' store at 1880
a. m. and 100 p. m., making a stop
at the post office in the down town

which information was available
cost less than $500. At the other
extreme, the investigation revealed
that charges for "a funerals rang
ed upward from 5000. Or, to state
it percentagewise, GAG percent of
the burials cost between $500 and
81 200"
Variance In Charges
The investigation indicated, the
Journal added, that there was a
considerable variance in charges by
Centralia undertakers because, it
charged, they exacted "as large
toll as the traffic will bear"
The Journal consulted Chambers

trail funeral fees and quoted him as
saying that the typical Centralia
