cal Committee. The editorial staff of the Eastern Connecticut News will sorely miss his full time ace tiyities, but wish him well in his new activities. His full program will be announced after the next meeting of the CLLPE on Friday, April 9th.
 In order to spread the activities of the League throughout the state, local unions have been called upcn to set up district Leagues to work with the state body. In addition letters have been written to all na- tional and international AFL presi- dents calling upon them to urge their Connecticut affilistes to par ticipate.
 The League made it clear by unanimous vote that it wanted 10 part of a third party movement, with Chairman C1eary declaring that Henry Wallace was being led on by elements who were not thinking of the working people. He also said it was futile for in- dependent candidates to run for Congress. Suggesting as slogan We must defeat our enemies in 1948," Cleary warned that labor's enemies were only waiting for the i election to pass and for employ ment conditions to Worsen before launching efforts to destroy the 1 labor movement,

Toft-HdrtIey Injunction Hits TIL Union; Atomic Unit's
 lrbitrotion Offer Spurned
yashington-A prize example Of1

yashington-A prize example Of
 bss injustice perpetrated under
 Ie Taft-Hartley Act was afforded she nation when the Department of Justice teamed with recalcitrant corporation to obtain an injunction against the Atomic Trades and La bOr Council, an AFL group repre- genting a thousand workers at the atomic bomb laboratory at Oak Ridge. Tenn.
 The injunction, isued by Federal Judge George c. Taylor at Knox vile, restrains the union workers for 30 days from quitting their jobs
 even though they had offered to arbitrate their dispute with the Carbide and Carbon Chemical Cor poration, which operates the plant for the Federal Atomic Energy Commission.
 Workers at the laboratory have a union contract with the Monsanto Chemical Corporation which form erly operated the plant. When the Carbide and Carbon Chemical Corporation recently took over op- eration, it sought to change provi- sions in the contract in order to make them conform with contracts the corporation has with other un- { ions in other plants.
 This would have meant, union officials charged, sharp reduction in standards. Sick leave benefits would be curtailed, vacation stand ards cut and a 15 cent wage diff ferential in favor of laboratory workers which has been in effect traditionally because of the hazard
Eastern Connecticut news., 1948-04-14

ous nature of their jobs would have been wiped out.
 Union negotiators protested wig orously against these changes, but found the company stubbornly un- willing to negotiate or to arbitrate the issues. At the request of the government, the union agreed not to strike and to maintain the status quo pending attempts to resolve the dispute, but these failed.
 At this point, with threats of court injunctions in the air, the following telegram was sent to President Truman by James A. Brownlow, secretary-treasurer of the AFL Trades Department and Kenneth Scott, representative of the Atomic Trades and Labor Coun- cil:
 "The Atomic Trades and Labor Council, affiliated with the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, hereby pledges and commits itself to main. tain the status quo as now existing at the Oak Ridge National Labora- tory X-1O, operated by the Car bide and Carbon Chemical Corpor' ation, Oak Ridge, Tenn, for the Atomic Energy Commission, and not to sponsor, support, call or en- gage in any strike or other work interruption at such laboratory un' der such status quo. The foregoing for the entire period of time that an injunction could be issued un. der Sections 208 through PIP of the Labor Management Relations Act 1947.
Eastern Connecticut news., 1948-04-14

conform to the provisions of such sections. Any responsibility for the necessity of an injunction rests solely upon tihe Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation and its refusal to negotiate or arbitrate.
 The union has repeatedly of- fered to arbitrate all issues which may be in dispute but to no avail. It makes this offer again. The fail ure of the Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation to yield to the same pledge which the union has made, places the union in the unenviable position of having an injunction forced gratuitously up- on it by the company in spite of the unions pledge.
 Such action would be thoroughly repugnant and unnecessary. If an injunction is sought, it should, in the interests of fair play, be against the Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation and not the union"
 However. this plea fell on deaf ears. The following day the gov- ernment went into Federal District Court at Knoxville, Tenn, and in- voked the national emergency provisions of the Taft-Hartley law to head off strike which was not threatened or pending.
 Assistant Attorney General J. M Friedman was joined in his pleas to the court by J. H, Baker, Jr., company attorney. But Herbert Thatcher, counsel for the union told Judge Taylor.
 The union is offering here and now to settle this matter by arbi- tration. We are willing to have the President appoint Board o1 Arbitration and we will abide by it's findings"
 MT. Thatcher argued vigorously against the issuance of an injunc. ton which he termed slap al the union, but the court issued Il anyway.
 Union officials immediately said they would comply with the court order which said that continued production at the plant lis highly desirable ia the interest of pre- paredness for national defense" MT. Scott told reporters that tho AFL unions involved would "wait out the next 30 days" We vii not negotiate away the privilege. wen by collective bargaining" he said. They will have to legislatt them away"
 1 Meanwhile, moves were initiated on Capitol Hill 10 forbid by new legislation any strikes by worker. at atomic bomb plants. It was pre- sumed that this proposed legisla tion would establish some machin cry for the peaceful settlement c. disputes by negotiation and arbi tration.
