NLRB MAKES DENT
IN IT'S BACKLOG

Washington (LPA)-The NLRB
is pretty proud Of itself these days.
For the second time since the pass
age Of the Hartley law it's
able to claim a little progress into
its heavy backlog of unsettled
cases.
At the end Of June there were
1900 cases waiting action-4%
fewer than at the end of May.
During June the board conducted
456 collective bargaining elections,
in which $40 Of the votes cast fav-
ored union representation. In 4021
union shop polls the union security
proposal won the approval of 1870
Of the workers involved.
Over 1900 new petitions were fl
ed with the NLRB in June, of
which $40 were for union shop
elections. About 240 were unfair
labor practice charges against en-
ployers, and so charges were level
led against unions. A high proper
ton of the accusations against un-
ions alleged that secondary boy
colts were being conducted.

sible Of attainment but it is a goal
to work towards"

Textile Workers
For Humphrey In
Race Against Ball

Washington (LPA)-The United
Textile Workers-AFL has been
sore at Sen. Joseph Bali (R.,
MIMI ever since last spring when
Balls joint Congressional labor
management committee "heard" the
UTW's views on the Taft Hartley
law without bothering to tell the
union that the committees report
on TIL was already written and at
the printers.
This week, UTW's executive
council struck back. In a special
action taken at its quarterly meet
ing here, the union wired Hubert
II. Humphrey, mayor Of Minneap-
olig and Democratic candidate for
the Senate against Ball, wishing
him success. In fact, UTW's coun-
Gil expressed the hope that Hum
phrey would not only win, but would
end up as chairman of the watch
dog committee now headed by the
anti-labor Ball.
The union also singled out for
endorsement Sen. Theodore Francis
Green and Reps. Anne Forand and
John Fogarty, all Rhode Island
Democrats.
No action was taken on a Presi-
dental endorsement, action being
deferred until after the AFL Exc
cutive Councils meeting in Chica-
go.

Foremen Hit
By tn Law

Washington (LPA)-The disas-
trous effect of the Taft-H Hartley
law upon the growing desire for
union organization among foremen
and other supervisory employees
was made clear last week by the
decision of a federal court of ap-
peals, and an NLRB ruling.
In Cincinnati the circuit court
overruled an NLRB decision that
said employers, even tho Taft-Hart-
ley frees them of the obligation of
bargaining with a foremen's union,
may not interfere in their organiza-
tions or discharge supervisors for
union activity.
The Foremen's Assn of America
unaffiliated had brought the case
into court claiming that the section
of Taft Hartley which denied them
collective bargaining rights is un-
constitutional.
But the court not only disregard
ed their plea, it even denied them
the cold comfort that the NLRB
had granted them. "We believe,
the court said, "that the Congress
by the enactment of the
law that employers be free in fu
ture to discharge supervisors for
joining a union and to interfere in
their union activities"
Meanwhile the NLRB itself rul-
ed that assistant district managers
of insurance companies are fore
men within the meaning of Taft
Hartley and denied the petition of
the Industry & Ordinary Insurance
Agents Council-AFL, for a collec-
tive bargaining election among the
assistant managers of the John
Hancock Co.

More AFL Units
To Back Truman

Washington (LPA) - Another
AFL international union, and two
more city centrals last week were
among those who declared them
selves supporters of President Har-
ry Truman's reelection fight.
the executive board of the Up
holsterers Intl Union unanimous
ly voted it's endorsement of the
President. Three reasons were cited
for the action: 1.-The Presidents S
sponsorship of the Marshall plar
for European recovery and his Ell
forts to stop "the spread of Com
munist tyranny" without resort tc
war. 2-Pledges of initiation con-
troll legislation, health, housing and
education bills contained in the
Democratic party platform. 3-The
Democratic party's adoption of a
"repeal Taft Hartley" plank.
UIU President Sal B. Hoffman
is a member of the national COM
mittee of LLPE and of the exc
cutive board of Americans for De-
mocratic Action.
In Duluth, Mimi, the AFL Cen
trail Political Committee added
President Truman and Democratic
Barkley to its list of choice. SINH
lar action was taken, by unani-
nous vote, by the AFL Federated
Trades Council of Reading, Pa.
First AFL body to declare for
Truman was the MarylandD. c.
League for Political Education,
which endorsed the President for
reelection at its first meeting last
April. The first international union
to line up behind the Democratic
national ticket was the Laundry
Workers Int'l-AFL which announc-
ell its stand last month.

Forces Union To
Refund Overtime
Pay TO Employer

Washington (LPA) - Pressure
from the Taft -Hartleyized NLRE
forced local union to refund over
time wages of four workers to q
Los Angeles contractor, the board
revealed last week.
One afternoon last May, r. H
Parr told two cement workers to
stay overtime to touch up a job
The plasterers, members of Local
627, Plasterers & Cement Finish
ers Ass'n-AFL, said, according to
the employer, that if some went
home all would leave. So Parr kept
the whole crew overtime.
Then, on May 21, he filed a COM
plant with the NLRB charging
that the union had forced him to
"featherbed." With speed rarely
equalled in cases being pushed by
unions, the boards regional direct
or in San Francisco issued formal
complaint against the union on
May 27.
Local 627 then got together with
Parr and NLRB officials and agreed
to reimbure Parr for the overtime
wages of four of the six men. The
formal board order to the union,
issued this week, confirms that
agreement, and gives the federal
court power to enforce it.
All parties have agreed that no
further action will be taken in the
case. There is no evidence that the
union itself was in any way res
ponsible for the Feather bedding"

Continue Child Aid
Appeal, AFL Urges

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) =
Continuation Of the United Nations
Appeal for Children has been
strongly urged by the American
Federation of Labor, in an appeal
to the UN Economic and Social
Council.
In statement submitted to the
council, meeting at Geneva, Swift
zerland, the AFL said that failure
to continue support Of the drive
"would be a serious source of dis
illusionment for millions of peo-
Pile" The statement was presented
to the council by Nelson Cruik-
shank, the federation's representa-
tive.
Several powerful delegations in
the Economic and Social Council
have opposed continuation of the
drive to raise funds by voluntary
tention of those opposed to contin-
uation that the UNAC has nearly
completed its task, the AFL state
ment said it is just getting under
way.
AS major reason for continuing
the appeal the federation's state
ment emphasized the unifying ef-
feet of the worldwide campaign.
"Within the nations all classes and
groups have responded" it says.
among the nations, those of most
divergent political systems have
united on this one point. All re-
ligions and races have joined in its
support"

UPW-CIO Signs With Armour

Chicago (LPA) = The United
Packinghouse Workers signed a
one year contract with Armour &
Co. last week. Like the UPW agree
ments with Swift and Cudahy, the
new contract provides triple pay
for holiday work and the check-off
of union dues. Altho no immediate
pay raise was granted, reopening
of the wage clauses during the life
of the contract is provided for.

Comment On World Events

A letter received from Indalecio
Prieto, former Minister of War in
the Spanish Republican Govern
ment and Socialist and labor lead
er, reveals shocking wave of afro
cities and murders of Asturian
miners by the despotic Franco re-
gime in Spain.
Twenty-Five miners were taken
out of their homes and hurled into
the natural we'll of Pozu Fumeres
where they were left to die. After
several days, the cries of those still
alive were silenced by the execu-
TONERS who poured gasoline on
them and then hurled down sticks
of dynamite to finish them off.
This was only one of series
of atrocities committed by the spec
ial detachments which terrorize thei
Asturias, a mountainous mining
region in Northern Spain. These
Glands of wild beasts in uniform
mixture of barbarism and sad
ism continue to take men out
of their homes, to disappear with
out trace" Prieto writes.
The only accusation leveled
against the victims is that they are
socialists and trade unionists.
The communication calls upon all
labor, civic and political organiza-
tions to protest these crimes and
to ask for an international investi-
cation through the democratic en-
bassies in Madrid, the United Ma
tions, and bodies like the Inter
national Red Cross.
The letter revealing the tragedy
of Pozu Fumeres was released by
the International Solidarity Com
mittee which has been sending
food, medicine and clothing to
Spanish trade union and republican
exiles and victims of Franco.
"We consider it our moral obli-
gation," Phil Heller, director of the
Solidarity Committee,
said, "to bring this communication
to the attention of the democratic |
world. A vigorous protest by the
conscience of the world |
can prevent other Pozu Fumeres
A special fund for the relief of |
The families of Frances victims has
been established by the Interna-
.ional Solidarity Committee, 303
Fourth Avenue, New York City.
Contributions are welcome.
Under the heading Communist
Censorship VS.. Democratic Facts"
he International Free Trade Union
News, published by the AFL Free
Trade Union Committee, says:
"a protest was recently voiced
against Australian distribution of
he International Free Trade Union
News by Tom Wright, notorious
Communist fellow-traveler who is
of the Sheet Metal Work
RS Union in Sydney. This "AFL
propaganda paper he declared, is
designed to split the Australian I
abor movement In Wright's view,
he AFL Free Trade Union Com
nittee is 'viciously opposed to the
World Federation of Trade Unions
nd therefore is also opposed 'to |
unionism and to labor
nifty everywhere I
"These remarks are presented for ]

orm of censorship over what his

1t is too bad that such hearings
can be used, Willingly or unwitt-
ingly, to smear out the smell of
neglected issues such as initiation
and housing, but that need not
mean that the story being brought
out in the hearings is not of conse-
quence.
The single fact that two Russians
have gone in terror to the Z. S.
government for protection is worth
thousand sermons in the way of
showing a Tot of Americans what
goes with the Soviets.
Furthermore, if the White House,
with all its great prestige and with
all of its machinery for spotlight
ing issues, cannot keep main issues
hot in the public mind then some
thing is rather wrong with White
House technique.
Every John Citizen knows there
is irfation every time he goes to
the store and the White House
could use a hundred methods TO
keep him purposefully mad about
t.

Let US discourse for the moment
about the fish known as red her
ring.
In its place a red herring has
its uses. But it must be established
that it is red herring.
The words "red herring" have
come to be symbolic, as we'll as lit
orally descriptive. So, whenever
someone says that a red herring
has been dragged across the trail
it doesn't always mean that a fish
has been thus used as a means Of
disconcerting the hounds.
1t could be and generally it is
anything that distracts from what
the speaker has in mind as the
main issue.
Thus, when President Truman
says the communist hearings are
a red herring, he doesn't have a
fish in mind at all. He means mere
ly that these hearings are being
used to distract attention from
housing, initiation and such matters.
Maybe the President is right.
Maybe that's the reason for The
hearings. Maybe the government
has known the whole story for
months.
If that is true, the mistake has
been in not letting the people know.
The hearings have not brought
out a great deal that is actually
new, of course. Anyone who hasn't
known how the commies work,
through fringe and dupe organiza-
tions, hasn't had his eyes open.
But, be that as it may, the hear
ings have hit the public with ter
rifle impact and they have done a
lot to arouse generally public indig-
ration. Too, they will scare he'll
out Of a lot Of playboys and girls
who have thought it smart to play
around with these fringe and party
line outfits.
By and large they are serving
purpose.
