NLRB Deprives
More Workers Of
Their Rights

Washington (LPA) - Working
under the Taft-Hartley law, the
NLRB in two decisions last week
deprived several more groups of
skilled workers of their right to
belong to regular trade unions. The
rulings were under the clause of
Taft Hartley which denies collec-
tive bargaining rights to foremen.
One case involved engineers
working for the Continental Oil Co.,
members of the Oil Workers lnt'l
Union. The board said that a num-
ber of the engineers, "altho for the
most part they work a shift alone, .
have the power to "hire and fire or
effectively recommend hiring and
firing" This makes them foremen,
the board asserts.
The other case was brought by
the Industrial Union of Marine q
Shipbuildng Workers when Mer-
rill-Stevens Dry Dock & Repair Co,
demanded that "leading men" be
dropped from the unions bargain
ing unit. In this case the board
held that altho the highly skilled
"leading men" who demonstrate
work techniques to other workers
"have no authority to discipline or
discharge men" they can't belong
to the union because "the employer
relies on their recommendations"

Civic Groups Hit
GIN Sitting Of
Mich. Education

Detroit (LPA)-Civic organiza-
tions in Michigan are rallying to
the support of the Workers Educa-
tional Service of the University of
Michigan, threatened with execu-
ton as a result of charges brought
against it by the General Motors
Corp.
The Michigan Committee on Civil
Rights last week called an emer-
gency meeting of 36 civic, service,
religious, educational and labor
groups, whose representatives vot-
ed to affirm complete faith in the
integrity of the Workers Educa-
tional Service, it's director, Arthur
Elder, it's staff and program"
Executive Secretary Olive Beas-
ley reported on correspondence
with members of the Board of Re-
gents and with Charles r. Wilson,
president of General Motors Corp.
After hearing her, delegates voted
that "the efforts of this private
corporation to influence the admin
stration of university classes con-
stitute a clear violation of academic
freedom"
Also last week, a wire was sent
to the University's Board of Re-
gents from the Workers Defense
League, national labor-rights
agency, stating: "We protest the
attempt of General Motors to con
troll education in the state of Mich
igan."

Marshall Tells European
Unionists America Vents
Peace And Recovery

Paris uPA)-LaSt week Tor the
first time in history an American
Secretary of State addressed a
meeting of European trade union
spokesman. With Mrs. Franklin ID.
Roosevelt seated beside him, Sec
retary George C. Marshall assured
a meeting of labor representatives
that the Us will continue to work
for peace and for European econ
omic recovery.
Marshall took time off from the
United Nations General Assembly
sessions to address a meeting of
the European Recovery Program
Trade Union Advisory Committee.
He told trade union heads from
most of the 16 Marshall plan coun-
tries" that their aid is vital to the
success of the recovery program.
American labor will play an inn
portant role in our part of the pro-
ject, he emphasized.
Commenting upon the Russian
blockade of Berlin, the Secretary
declared that western powers made
every conceivable effort" to settle
the crisis before referring it to the
UN. But Russia completely
thwarted" the US-British- French
attempts to arrive at an under
standing.
Had we remained silent, Marshall
told the union chiefs, "a black cloud
of menace would have spread over
the entire continent of Europe"
Evert Kupers, president of the
Netherlands trade unions, a vice
president of the World Federation
of Trade Unions, and chairman of
the ERP committee, spoke for all
the labor men when he said:
"We are very grateful for the
help the US has given Europe. Only
with the participation of a strong
trade union movement will it be
possible to restore Europe. We are
very glad to accept aid from the
US. We know the US does not want
to interfere with the internal af-
fairs of European nations"
Marshall had said that 1--WE are
not only fighting for peace, but
the type of peace where the indi-
vidual is a free man, where labor
organizations can meet and work
out their own theories-in other
words world just as far from the
police state system as possible"
"We have tried to keep all our
operations in proper relationship
to the UN which is the greatest
hope of peace in the world" Mar
shall asserted.
Among the trade unionists pre-
sent were Leon Jouhaux, president
of the French CGT-FO, Vincent
Tewson, general secretary of the
British Trades Union Congress, and
representatives of Scandinavian,
Beneluz, Italian and Irish unions.

Murray May Try
To Break Deadlock
In Dock Strike

Washington (LPA) = President
Harry Bridges of Int'l Longshore-
mems & Warehousemens Union this
week asked President Philip Muir
ray to enter into negotiations with
the West Coast ship operators
against whom ILWU and other un-
ions are on strike.
Murray last week intervened in
the West Coast dock tie-up by ask
ing the Maritime Commission to
use its influence to bring about a
resumption of negotiations with
the ship owners who have shown no
desire to settle the dispute.
In a letter to Admiral w. w.
Smith, chairman of the Commits
sion, the CIO head said that he
thought the Maritime Commission
should be directly and Immediately
concerned in bringing about set
tlement.
"At the present time," he declar-
ed, "the Commission is the owner,
or in effect the landlord, Of many
vessels on charter to the shipown-
ers on the West Coast. These
vessels, owned by the United
States Government, are idle as a
result of the dispute and the chart
ers are being turned back to the
Government. The vessels will con-
tinue to remain idle as long as the
employers associations maintain
their obstinate refusal to renew
negotiations, which unjustified at
titude is causing an unnecessary
prolongation of the dispute"

Calls John Lewis
Silent Aide OF
Candidate Dewey

Washington (LPA) - John l.
Lewis attack on President Truman
confirms what "we have long sus
pected," Chairman George Harrison
of the Labor Committee for Tru
man and Barkley said last week
"that Mr.. Lewis was a silent part
ner of Mr.. Dewey"
"The hostility toward President
/ Truman, expressed BY John l.
Lewis in his customary extravag.
ant phraseology, was clearly de-
signed to assist Mr.. Dewey" Har-
rison charged. again we find Mr.
Lewis resisting the action of 6
virtually unanimous labor move
ment-just as he did in his anita.
gonism to President Roosevelt.
"The announcement that the
Chicago Tribune opposed President
Truman, added to the opposition OF
American Communists, now makes
the lineup identical with that in
the hate Roosevelt coalition OF
1910. Our confidence in President
Truman's success is strengthened
by our knowledge that John l.. is
usually wrong" Harrison said.
Harrison's statement was given
to the press by Eli Oliver, secre-
tary-treasurer of the committee of
leaders of AFL and unaffiliated un-
ions which is working for Truman's
reelection. Harrison himself was
accompanying the President on his
tour of eastern industrial states.
Oliver is confident that the Dem
ocratic ticket will triumph in Nov
ember He called the low registra-
tion in New York a "freak situa-
tion," and pointed out that the
often apathetic trade union voters
in such cities as Cincinnati and st.
Louis have registered this year and
are going to the polls to defeat the
party which supports the Taft
Hartley law.
John l.. Lewis was not able to
"deliver" the miners votes to Re-
publican presidential candidates in
either 1910 or 1914, Oliver assert
ed, and predicted that he wouldn't
be able to this year either. The
leader of the mine workers in
Wyoming accompanied Truman on
his campaign tour of that state
last month, Oliver said.
"The miners are naturally devot-
ed to John l.. Lewis" Oliver said.
"They are aware of the huge gains
they have made under Lewis milit-
ant leadership, but they also know
that no man is perfect, and that
their leader, a great fighter in the
economic field is little less inspir-
ed on political questions"
Earlier last week Chairman Har-
rison and a delegation of 26 of the
so union chiefs who are members
of Labor's Committee for Truman
& Barkley visited President Tru-
man in the White House.

TAFT WILL
STUMP SOUTH

Washington (LPA)-Sen. Robert
A. Taft should start worrying.
Labor's favorite target apparently
is also like poison to farmers, city
people, and all voters north of the
Mason Dixon line.
The COPS carpet-bagger will de-
vote his talents between now and
Nov. 2 to the solid south. He re-
vealed to reporters here last week
that his major speaking dates will
be in Nashville, st. Petersburg,
Fla, Wilson, N. c., Winchester,
Va, and Dallas, Texas.
Taft optimistically predicted Re-
publican victories in Florida, North
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
Other Republican leaders have
gracefully stepped aside to allow
the Truman Democrats and States
Rights Democrats to slug it out in
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Illinois Fed. Demands
Custer OF NLRB Counsel

Chicago. - Removal of Robert
Denham as general counsel for the
National Labor Relations BoarC
was demanded of President Truman
by the Illinois State Federation OF
Labor.
The convention secretary sent the
following telegram to the Presi-
dent:
"In conformity with instructions
of the convention | now respectful
ly request that action be taken
without undue delay to remove
Robert Denham from office"
Backbone of the demand for Den
hams custer was the Chicago
Typographical Union.
The state federation resolution
complained that Denham has shown
"the attitude of dictator" in sew
eral cases and had caused "con-
fusion and uncertainty" among la
Dor unions.

Slow on Repairs

clean up as quickly as possible
!; and let, things dry out but don't
be in too big a hurry to start
major repairs, that is the advise
of H. C.. Wichers, extension rural
architect, to families whose homes
have been hit by flood waters.
Wicher points out that while
any building always looks like
a mess" when the waters first re-
cede, damage may not be as severe
as it seems as first impression.
However, he warns that much
serious damage always results
from any flood and that home
owners need to take certain steps
to keep the loss as small as pos
sible.
The homeowner should immed-
lately make a careful inspection
of the foundations or better yet
have a qualified contractor make
the inspection. The college spec
alist suggests that several blocks
or small community might Join
together in hiring contractor for
this work. This will ascertain
whether or not serious founda-
ton damage has resulted and
what repair steps are necessary.
In many cases, Wichers points
out, flood waters fill the area
beneath the house, without q
basement, completely full of
mud. This mud should be re-
moved as soon as possible to avoid
rotting the joists. It may even
be necessary to jack up the house
to insure complete removal.
The effect of water, on plaster
is variable, he says. In some
cases the plaster will be complete.
ly ruined while In others it will
be virtually unframed. There
is no rule for telling the extent
Of the damage, the only thing to
do is to clean out the mud, dry
out the plaster and await the
results. Plaster board and ply
wood when wet are almost al
ways ruined.
Wichers urged homeowners to
be particularly careful with wir-
Ing and electric motors. Wiring
should be checked as soon as pos !
sible by competent electrician
70 avoid shorts and possible fire
damage. Motors should always
be checked by an electrician be-
'ore being started.
