Judge Critieizes NlRB
For Delay in Filing
ITU Contempt Action
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 25.-Federal
Judge Luther M. Swygert asked
National Labor Relations Board
attorney yesterday why the Govern
ment waited five months before
filing contempt charges against the
printers union.
The court said NLRB attorneys
knew as early as last April of con-
tracts which the board says violate
an injunction issued March q by
Judge Swygert against the AFL In
ternational Typographical Union.
The contempt charges were filed
in August.
Judge Swygert made the comment
as the unions trial ended. He Is not
expected to rule for several weeks.
The action against the union al
ready has brought sharp comment
from President Truman, Senator
Taft, Republican, Of Ohio and AFL
and CIO leaders.
| Accused of Violating Injunction.
| The NLRB accused the 1TU ana
l. its officers of violating the injunc-
tion which barred the union from
demanding contract terms from
newspaper publishers aimed at by
passing the Taft Hartley Act ban on
the closed shop.
President Truman has said SEN
ator Taft put the heat" on the
NLRB's attorneys to file the case,
a charge Senator Taft denied. But
Gerhard Van Arkel, ITU attorney
brought Mr.. Truman's statement to
the courts attention in flnal argu-
ment in the case.
Mr.. Van Arkel said Mr.. Truman
was right because apparently NLRB
lawyers thought the TITUS contract
offer to publishers was legal during
the five months that elapsed be-
tween the injunction and the con-
tempt action. =.
Judge Swygert took the matter OF
filing time up with winthrop Johns,
NLRB associate general counsel.
The court expressed no concern
about why the Government brought
the contempt case.
| Some Papers Signed.
The judge said what worried him
was why NLRB attorneys delayed
bringing the contempt case to en-
force the injunction until after a
number OF newspapers signed the
contract terms now claimed to be
illegal.
I'VE haven't condoned anything.
your honor" Mr.. Johns said.
We'll, what do you call it them"
Judge Swygert asked. You go along
while not doing anything about
1t. then suddenly you do something.
Mr.. Johns protested that the
NLRB general counsel's Office had
watched ITU practices closely and
brought the contempt case as
promptly as it was sure the decree
was being violated,
Delay Might Affect Ruling.
Judge Swygert said late filing OF
the contempt case might cause him
to minimize the degree of any con-
: tempt finding and pose this prob
,, lem:
IF the court finds that this
(union) action is Violative OF the
decree it could not stamp with ap-
tproval the contracts that have been
entered into up to now, and say
henceforth ito the union you can't
do that"
4 Mr.. Johns said the NLRB general
counsel had formed its opinion OF
the disputed contract terms "ex-
tremely early" yet conducted long
investigation to be sure there was
more than technical violation" Of
the injunction.
The principal issue is whether
competency tests proposed for nom
union job applicants for newspaper
composing room jobs are discrimi-
natory The ITU would have its
members eligible for jobs without
tests.

Long, spectacular touchdown runs
became routine yesterday as Gal
laudet College played host to Ran
dolph- Macon in a Mason-Dixon
Conference tilt. Unfortunately for
the home team, the Yellow Jackets
did all the running as they trimmed
Gallaudet, 46-0.
Four of Randolph-Macon's six
touchdowns were fashioned in this
manner: Royal Bailey's 80-yard
and 24-yard runs, Bill Barret's 90
yard punt return and Joe Dixon S
66-yard dash through tackle.
The Bisons, outmanned and out
weighed in everything except spirit
sank slowly, giving up only one
touchdown in each of the first three
periods. In the fourth period, how
ever, the Jackets exploded for Is
points
The Bisons held their own fol
most of the first quarter. Then
after several punt exchanges, the
Jackets put the ball in play on their
20 and Bailey romped 80 yards for
the first touchdown.
A pass by Marvin Tuttle was in
tercepted by Browne Phelps on the
Gallaudet 80 to set up the second
score, Phelps later passing to Bill
Caldwell for Is yards and the touch
down.
Randolph Macon's third and
fourth touchdowns came in quick
succession with the end of the third
period sandwiched between. Barret

other small contractors in the
state whose experience has been
just about as bad as the one on
this road, but the Highway De-
partment has been powerless to
do anything about it except at
the risk of greatly increased con-
struction cost. The contractor on
this project, has been penalized on
engineering expenses, as this is
the only way that we can exert
any influence on him. If he runs
over his contract time, we are
permitted to charge him for all
engineering expense on the pro-
ject. Outside of that, our only re-
course is to cancel the contract.
We have done everything that
we could to try to get him to
finish this job at a much earlier
date but to no avail.
Will Try To Keep Possible
at is my understanding that
this project is practically COM
plete, and the Highway Depart
ment will take over the road for
maintenance, and after we have
taken it over for maintenance
we will do everything within our
power to see that traffic goes
over it during the winter months.
1t will be our purpose to pave
the road next year, and / hope
that you will not have as much
trouble this winter as you have
had heretofore.
81 call your attention to the
fact that we are making a sur
vey on the balance of the road
and that a contract will probably
be let during the early spring
months for raising the grade on
that portion of this section which
has not already been graded. |
hope it will not take the new
contractor as long to do his work
as was consumed by the present
contractor, but again there are
some things over which we have
no control, or limited control at
most AS you know, there is no
satisfactory detour between Bel
zoni and Mileston the Highway
Department could route traffic
over during construction.
All-Weuther Travel Hoped For
sIt is my sincere desire to do
everything that l can to minimize
the inconvenience to the travel
ling public while highway is be-
ing built, but we do have that
penalty which we pay for pro-
gress, and we have never been
able to find any way to eliminate
completely the inconvenience TO
the travelling public while a road
is being constructed.
81 will take the matter up with
the District Engineer Immediately
in an effort to see that the road
is kept in shape for all-weather
travel during the winter months
81 appreciate your writing me
about the matter and wish it were
possible for me to be more opti-
mistic about the use of this par
ticular road during the next few
months. but the time has come
when the road must be built"

Farm Loans Down
Saws Holmes Official

MISSISSIPPI FARMERS CUT
BORROWING DESPITE RISING
COSTS, SURVEY SHOWS
Even though the costs of things
the farmer buys are continuing
upward, Mississippi agriculture is
successfully avoiding the dangers
of excessive debt, according to
R. l.. Ray, executive vice
president and cashier, Merchants
and Planter Bank, Tchula.
Mr.. Ray, who represents the
Mississippi Bankers Association
as Holmes County Key Banker,
noted that, although borrowing
has increased in many states as
result of higher costs, Missls-
sippi farmers borrowed less IN
l947 than in 1916. At the same
time, vital agricultural loans out
standing in Mississippi banks
were reduced.
= Quoting from a national survey
| of bank lending made by the
Agricultural Commission OF the
American Bankers Association,
Mr.. Ray reported that the total
AGRICULTURAL loans outstanding in
Mississippi banks at the beginning
of 1948 aggregated only $27,33l, :
600, compared with approximate
ly $28, 100000 at the beginning OF
the preceding year This high
percentage of loan pay-offs is
considered indicative OF the pros
porous condition of Mississippi
agriculture.
During 1947, Mississippi banks
loaned S53.952,000, a decline OF
almost S8,000,000 from 1916. OF
the total amount $553,000 was in
Commodity Credit Corporation
loans secured by farm products
in storage. Farm production
loans totaled $36,796,000, of which
S15. O87 900 remained outstanding
at the beginning of this year.
Loans secured by farm real es-
tate totaled $16,603, 900, advanc-
ing to total amount outstanding
in these long term credit TO
81, $4,000. Twenty per cent OF
