prisoner before he can hope for
a pardon or parole. Then, the
governor said, she will be given
every consideration for a parole"
Cherry said there was little
chance that Philpot would be
granted a pardon, which is usual
ly given when proof Of innocence
exists.
Philpot was convicted in For
syth county in 1881 of armed
robbery and sentenced to three
to five years. He escaped from
the Polk county prison camp in
1884 when he had approximately
che year of his sentenceNleft to
serve. Unless he is pardoned or
paroled, Phi1pot will have that
year plus an additional six
months to serve for running
away from camp.
Philpot has waived extradition
and has agreed to return to North
Carolina voluntarily. Two North
Carolina officers are in this state
awaiting him.
During his years at Gilbert
Philpot has been known as Will
liam Phillips. He is married. The
Philpots have no children but
have taken two of Mrs. Philpot's
sisters and are sending them
through high school.
President Harry S. Gay of the
Gay Mining company, for whom
Philpot has worked for five
years, told Gov. Meadows that
|Philpot had "a very enviable rec
ord, both as a citizen and as a
mining man." It was brought
out that Philpot's employer is OBJ
tanning an attorney to act for
him when he returns to Raleigh.
Philpot had been held in the
Mingo county Jail since his ar
rest Monday. Now "a, Philpot
said he was only 10 when his
companions committed an armed
robbery and said he was scared
to death. He said he remained
in an automobile and took no
direct part in the robbery, which
occurred between Winston-Salem
and High Point.
Philpot said that the judge who
sentenced him told him that 1t
was mot so much for What l
did as for the company I was in
and he thought it would be a
good lesson for me-" He said
the judge said he would con-
slider recommending a parole aft
err one year.
However, aftet serving 33
months with no indication OF any
move toward a parole, Phllpot
decided to escape.

NEW LEGISLATION
AIDS VETERANS In
FILING CLAIM

New legislation permist re-
tired officers and enlisted mer
of the armed forces to represent
veterans in claims against the
Veterans Administration, it was
announced yesterday by R. L.
Matthews of the VA offices.
This new law is of special in
terest to some former service
men and women who are in
veterans organizations, Matt
hews said.
Retired personnel may now act
as representatives of any of the
SO national and state organiza-
tons authorized to file claims
for veterans.
Until this law was passed, re-
tired members of the armed
forces were not allowed to act
as representatives of veterans for
the purpose of filing claims.
The new law removes this
long-standing prohibition, Matt
hews said. Now all retired Of
ficers and enlisted men of the
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and
Coast Guard may act in this
capacity, when they are repre-
senting organizations recognized
bv the VA for this purpose.
Many of these retired officers,
the VA points out, are lawyers
and doctors with specialized
knowledge.

support of candidates in special
elections in Maryland and Pennsyl-

Boston-LPA)- The CLOS al
national unions will decide for
themselves whether to comply with
the Taft-Harsley law requirements
on anti-Communist affidavits, the
Executive Board decided last week.
A statement by President Philip
Murray, approved by the Board, de-
clared "At the meeting of the Exc
cutive Board in Washington in
June, it was made clear that each
international and national union af-
filiated with the CIO would, in the
exercise of its own autonomous
right, determine for itself the pol
icy to be pursued in relation to
the new Labor Board. This policy
remains unchanged"
Already the boycott of the MI
RIB, advocated by some unions, had
been decided against by the Tex
tile Workers Union, the Brewery
Workers, the Woodworkers, and
the Playthings, Jewelry & Novelty
Workers.
The Board statement emphasized
that "The CIO remains firm in its
unanimous rejection of the evil
principle of the Taft-Hartley Act
and will unite to defeat any attempt
by any employer to use that act
as weapon to attack or destroy
any of our unions.
''The CIO will also undertake in
conjunction with it's affiliated
unions any appropriate proceedings
to test the constitutionality of the
many illegal provisions of the Act
including those which require the
infamous affidavits as a condition
precedent TO the use of the facili-
ties of the Board" the statement
said.

Nearly 5000 pending NLRB
cases, involving unfair labor prac-
tice complaints and representation
petitions, were put back on the ac-
tive list. All had been held i'm abey-
ance waiting on the Board decision,
but if the Board had upheld Den
ham they would have been dismiss
ed.
On the question of whether the
AFL and ClO are unions, the Board
declared, 1--WE are familiar with no
use of the term national or inter
national labor organization which
includes parent federations such as
the AFL and CIO within its mean
ing. On the contrary every defini-
tion or description of the structure
of these two federations clearly in
dicates that the AFL and CIO are
different from national or inter
national labor organizations"
In his separate concurring opin-
ion, Murdock said that the AF'L "is
not for the purpose of this case
labor organization as defined in
this Act because it is not an organ
ization' which exists for the pur-
pose of dealing with the employer
(. concerning collective bargain
ing"
The Boards decision was forced
by the international Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers AFL which APP
pealed the dismissal of represen-
tation petition at an Arlington, Va,
radio station. The NLRB regional
director dismissed the IBEW re-
quest because the AFL executive
committee had not signed the anti

on behalf of President James Pet

Padway's unfinished address to
20O0 attending the convention here
became particularly impassioned
when he spoke on the Taft Hartley

"By the Taft Hartley Act, gov

Padway asserted.
'By this law, the guarantees in

of the right to organize and to be
free from employer domination are
removed or so diluted as to be
practically worthless to workers
and their unions.
