SchenIey Strike
Called Boycott

Washington OPA)-An NLRB
trial examiner ruled last week that
the refusal of New York local of
the Wine, Liquor & Distillery
Workers-AFL, to handle Schenley
products constitutes a secondary
boycott. Another local of the union
had been on strike against a Schen-
ley owned distillery in Kentucky.
The union said that its refusal
to move Schenley-made whiskies
was part of an attempt to get sat
isfaction on a series of grievances
from N. Y. liquor wholesalers. But
the board official said That the CO.
incidence with the Kentucky strike
made it secondary boycott.

Hartley law Will open on May "a,
Ball implicitly admitted that the
act hasn't worked as well as the
recent report of his committee
tried to make the public think. The
investigation will concentrate on
the NLRB's administrative dilem-
mas, evasions of the Communist
disclaimer section of TIL, employ
or agreement to "bootleg" closed
T1--shop agreements, union welfare
funds, and the national emergen-
cy sections.
One suggestion before the COM
mittee is that a special labor court
be established to hear unfair la
Dor practices" complaints, leaving
the NLRB with jurisdiction only
over representation problems. Even
Ball has been impressed by the
damage done to collective bargain
ing by the apparently insurmount-
able 10000 case backlog of the
NLRB. He thinks that representa-
ton elections should take place
within three weeks of the filing OF
a petition.
Hartley's latest brain child is a
bill to make strike against two
or more competing employers a vio-
lation of the antitrust law, in in
dustries involving the national
safety and welfare" Mine and steel
strikes would be ruled out, Hartley
said, but eff it were only in cou-
pie of laundries I'd let 'em fight
it out" Whether the New Jersey
ans magnanimity would extend
for example, to the clothing indus
try-in which bargaining with q
number of employers simultaneous
ly has long been the practice-re-
mains to be seen.
A court ruling against the min
ers' union "may lead to a flare
Aup," Hartley said, which would
kkaforce him to rush his bill, which
may come up for hearings this
week in the House Labor Commit
tee of which he is chairman.
Meanwhile, Hartley's erst-while
partner, Sen. Taft, told a meet
ing of the American Society OF
Newspaper Editors that strikes
can't be prohibited unless the gov
eminent adopts complete pro
gram of wage and price controls
Since the Ohioan opposes price con-
trolls he feels forced to object alsc
to proposals for prohibiting strikes
He thinks that the TIL thing has
achieved great deal of success.

II 10 "A Army Bases
In Panama Republic
Already Evacuated

The United States has lost no
time in evacuating the wartime de-
Tense bases in the republic Of
Panama, since the Panamanian As
sembly unanimously rejected . a
lease agreement in fiery session
December %.
The Army Department announced
yesterday that 1t. Gen. Willis D.
Crittenberger, commander in chiet
of the Caribbean Defense Com
mand, had completed the evacua-
tion of IL of the IA bases located
outside the Canal Zone. There
were about 1000 troops at the bases.
AS to the big B-29 base at Rio
Hato, 81 miles west of the Canal
Zone and developed at great ex-
pense as part of series OF protec-
tive air sites, the announcement
said its evacuation is proceeding
as expeditiously as possible
Sites Revert to Panama.
The San Jose Island base, located
in the Gulf of Panama, will be
completely evacuated and returned
to Panama by January 81" the
Army said.
The other "12 defense sites. mostly
radar, communications and aerial
navigation installations, reverted to
Panama yesterday" the announce
ment said.
For 13 months prior to the action
by the Panamanian Assembly the
State and Army departments had
said the bases, particularly the one
at Rio Hato, were essential to de-
fense of the canal. The agreement
would have permitted the United
States to retain Rio Hato. for 10,
years, with the option of renewal
for 10 more, and the others for five.
Zone Troops Not Affected.
The excavations do not effect
United States troops in the Canal
Zone proper, where the primary de-
fenses of the canal are located.
Those troops, and presumably those
moved from the disputed bases, re-
main in the zone.
Ambassador to Panama Frank T.
Hines has said he feels the two
countries can get together" on an
other agreement.

RuFlr Cities Normal
As $4,000 Workers
End Food WaIkoufs
BY the Assoeioied Press

DUSSELDORF, Germany, Jan.
T.-Three Ruhr cities where $4,000
workers struck yesterday against
food shortages were normal again
today, with all strikers reported
back on the job.
Trade union officials said prom
ises of fat from >sther areas of the
American and British zones have
relieved tension in the three cities,
Duisberg, Muehlheim and Dislaken.
In the last week total of 10000
workers have been on strike at one

Officers of Ruhr trade unions
planned to meet again January %.
They said the meeting would be
held to determine whether promises
of help have materialized and If the
acute hunger situation has been
relieved.
Meanwhile, other areas of the
combined zones reported developing
food shortages. Millions of con-

they would get no fat and little
meat next week, sooner than these
shortages had been expected to de-
velop.

Let's Weigh the Evidence

Your scales can be a valuable ally to your Judging eyei
For years livestock breeders have kept weight and per-
Torrance records, as well as pedigrees. Now many
commercial producers are taking a tip from them. Re
! cording birth weights and weaving weights of calves,
pigs and lambs. Using their records to help Gull, to
select their Hkeliest breeding stock.
There is lots of evidence of the value of your scales
In helping your eye. Here are just a few examples:
y Purdue University they weighed 1854 pigs from
784 filters. Here's what they found. Pigs that weighed
THREE pounds at birth averaged % pounds at Wean-
ing. But pigs that weighed w pounds at birth
weighed only I'll pounds at weaving. Ofthe heavy pigs.
77So lived to weaving age, against only 1879 of the hight
pigs. And right up to market weight, the heavier pigs
had a higher rate of gain.
q The U. SD. "A. has kept a 14-year record on beef
calves. Birth weights vary from 40 to 100 pounds.
Their finding: heavier-than-average calves reach a 500
pound weaving weight and 900-pound marketing weight
faster than Hghter-than-average calves. You know what
that means! Less feed. More and quicker profit.
81 Sheep Experiment Station men at Dubois, Idaho,
find they can use the scales to select breeding stock for
greater production in the future. Their eve lambs,
which are heavier than average at weaving time, prove
to be the best producers in total lamb weight and fleece
weights.
A At the University of Wyoming they divided dairy
heifers into light and heavy weight groups. The Sheavies'
weighed "a pounds more at birth. But at six months
they averaged 43 pounds more per animal. b
You need a good Judging eye to tell you whether
an animal has good conformation, IS true to type, etc.
But the evidence of recorded weights does point strongly
to a general rule which can help your eye:
Keep or buy animals heaviest at birth or meaning!
