against discrimination on political
racial, religious or social grounds. .
Mr.. Truman said Romania also

New Virginia Ruling
0nlynehing Approved
BY Attorney General
BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 18.-Attor-
ney General Abram P. Staples has
approved a regulation of the State
Board of Corrections to make lynch
ings more difficult in Virginia, it was
disclosed yesterday as printed copies
of the attorney generals opinions
for the last fiscal year were released.
The report contained approx
mately 200 opinions ranging from a
ruling that meters can be used to
show payment of taxes on agricul-
tural feeds to an opinion constituting
the existence of state of war" as
far as a Suffolk ordinance against
the sale of fireworks is concerned.
In October, 1945, the book of opin-
ions disclosed. Maj. Rice M. Youell
called the attorney generals atten-
ton to an occurrence in Florida,
where a prisoner was lynched. The
sheriff's excuse was that no guards
were on duty at the Jail at the time.
Virginia has gone considerable
number of years without any lynch
ings having taken place." the COM
missioner of corrections said Il be-
lieve our board should take every
precSution in seeing that jails are
so operated that there will be no
likelihood of such an occurrence
here.
Mr.. Staples ruled that the Board
of Corrections had authority to
adopt regulation prohibiting the
confinement of a prisoner who had
been charged with criminal assault
or murder, or convicted of either
offense in Jail which does not
have 24-hour guard protection. Pur-
suant to Mr.. Staples opinion. such
a regulation was adopted and is now
in farce.

ordered last years reductions.
Democrats are ready to battle
over the reductions made by the
House committee in the allotments
for OPA and the Veterans Admin
istratlon, but Representative Can
non conceded the Republicans would
send the deficiency measure through
the House without change.
Before reporting the deficiency
bill, the House Appropriations group

new money from $315 5,546,690 to
$139 100000 The President also had
recommended cancellation of old

the joint House-Senate Budget

There was chairman for every

They, too, had little to say. There
was no time for talking. Tiny
Meeker's Orchestra helped out on
that. Music was practically con-
tinuous.
Besides Mr.. Brown, however, one
man got in a few quick words as he
illustrated his ''talk"-Dick Mans
field cartoonist for The Star and
former assistant superintendent of
police. Mr.. Mansfield drew funny
pictures and caricatures of some of
the guests. And he got away with it.
Among the honored guests were
Senators Capper, Republican, of

The biggest cheer of the evening
came when Art Brown, the toast
master, announced there would be
no speeches. His was the only one.
But that was necessary, since there
were honored guests, none of whom
had anything to say. Mr.. Brown
took care of that.
The nearly 1000 ordinary" guests
and members just sat, ate and con-
tributed cheering and hand-clap-
ping as one new entertainment act
followed another. The honored
guests were a little more restrained.

before any requirements were hired.
ITO penalize this employer for
proffering the jobs once again to
economic strikers on the same terms
to be offered replacements would
penalize open dealing and invite
silent displacement of striking en-
ployes, a result which seems to us
more likely to be productive rather
than preventive of industrial strife
and thus not to effectuate the pur-
poses of the act"
The decision dismissed all charges
of unfair labor practices against the
papers.
No Requirement for Bargaining.
While voicing new declaration
of policy on the question of union
bargaining, the board did not pass
on whether the St. Petersburg
printers themselves had bargained
in good faith.
Noting that there is no require
ment under the Wagner Act that
unions should bargain, the board
added:
But the question of whether an
employer is under a legal duty to
bargain with union that contem-
poraneously declines to negotiate on
certain subjects with that employer
has been so earnestly briefed by
counsel that the board cannot let
1t pass without comment.
The: test of good faith in bargain
ing that the act requires of an
employer is not rigid but a fiuctu-
ating one, and is dependent in part
upon how reasonable man might
be expected to react to the bargain
ing attitude displayed by those
across the table.
No Indication of Appeal.
ut follows that although the act
imposes no affirmative duty to bar
gain upon labor organizations, a
unions refusal to bargain in good
faith may remove the possibility of
negotiation and thus preclude the
existence of a situation in which
the employers own good faith can
be tested. If it cannot be tested its
absence can hardly be found"
The st. Petersburg printers have
been on strike since November 20,
1945, demanding higher wages. The
papers continued to publish, first
by means of special printing proc
esses until an open shop arrange
ment was reached in the joint COM
posing room of the two papers and
their commercial job printing busi-
ness.
There was no indication whether
the union would appeal the decision
Such an appeal could be made to
the Fifth Circuit Court Of Appeals
at New Orleans.
