Broad Demand Lifts
Stock Market for
Third Day in Row
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Broad de-
mand lifted the stock market for the
third session in a row today.
Brisk activity developed from the
opening bell onward. Offerings
came out literally, though, and
gains generally ranged around a
point or less. A handful Of stocks
turned out to be balky.
Many Wall Streeters took the view
that extreme apprehension over
policies of the new administration
has run its course and that favor
able items in the domestic news
picture deserved more consideration.
Thought was given, too, to signs
of widespread opposition to another
excess profits tax, possibility which
has caused considerable head-shak-
ing since the elections.
Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal
made better than average show
ing following word of a boosted
dividend. The stock advanced more
than 2 points at one time, but
was later shaded a bit.
Others higher included Bethlehem

Oil Union Awarded
Decision on Secondary
Boycott Charges
by the Asseeiatsd Press

A National Labor Relations Board
trial examiner today turned down
secondary boycott charges against q
union for refusing to handle work
one firm had agreed to perform TO,
a second, a strike-bound company.
The decision hinged chiefly on q
prestrike agreement entered into by
the two companies.
A secondary boycott is the re-
fusal by a group Of employees tt
work for a neutral employer in Al
effort to force him to quit doint
business with a second employer
with whom the workers have q wag,
or other economic" dispute.
Pure Oil Co. Loses Decision.
In the decision today. however
NLRB Examiner J. ]. Fitzpatrick
said the Taft-Hartley laws Sec
ondary boycott ban does not apply
in the case brought by the Pure Oil
Co., of Toledo, Ohio, against the
CIO Oil Workers Union.
Pure Oil has a working arrange
ment with a neighboring refinery
Standard Oh Co. Of Ohio, that
Standards workers will handle the
loading Of Pure Oils refinery prod
ucts on ships in the Maumee River
But when a strike threatened
between the union and Standard
over a new contract, Pure Oil ar
ranged with Standard to use Pure
Oil employees on Standards docks
to load Pure Oils products, II the
strike occurred.
It did, and the unions members,
representing workers Of both re-
fineries, refused to do the loading
work for Pure. Pickets were sta
toned at Standards docks.
Basis Of Ruling.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick ruled that "by at
tempting to assume the servicing
of the dock facilities" Pure Oil
made itself q party Of Standards S
labor dispute" and was no longer q
neutral.
Further, he said, the Taft-Hart-
ley secondary boycott ban permits
any one to refuse to enter strike
bound facilities.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick also recommended
dismissal Of a secondary boycott
charge based on the unions labelling
of Pure products as "hot cargo"
thereby causing members of the
Go National Maritime Union to re-
fuse to load them aboard ship. He
said the "hot cargo" classification
was protected by the free speech
clauses of the Constitution and the
Labor Act.
The examiners ruling becomes
Anal unless appealed to the full
labor board within 20 days.
