Local of Leftish
Union Charged
With Coercion

Washington UPA)-Local 536
Of the Mine, Mill & Smelter Work
ers, one Of the few remaining Com
munist-line unions, was found
guilty by a Natl Labor Relations
Board trial examiner Of coercion
in forcing a union member who
went back to his job during a
strike to quit.
The union was also guilty of
violence and vandalism during the
strike, the examiner said, because
it armed members who then dam
aged property and assaulted COM
pany personnel.
The decision was handed down
in a case involving a strike at
American Zinc Oxide Co.'s plant
outside Columbus, Ohio. Charges
were filed by a second union, the
lnt'l Chemical Workers-AFL.
The examiner recommended that
Local $50 "be required to cease
and desist from restraining and
coercing employees" of the COM
pany. The recommendation has the
force of an NLRB order unless
contested within 20 days.
Joseph Collier, a one-time presi-
dent of Local 536, returned to his
job after a strike began. Soon a
couple of bricks were thrown into
his home, then he was tried by
what the examiner called a kan
garoo Court" of union officials.
In punishment, Collier was fore
ed to walk the picket line for a
week, but later returned to the job
a second time only to have another
brick thrown into his house. He
quit work again.
Meanwhile, Collier had become a
of the AFL Chemical
Workers, who organized the plant
when the company refused to deal
with the Mine, Mill & Smelter
union because it's officers refused
to comply with the Taft Hartley
act by signing non-Communist af-
fdavits.
The Mine, Mill & Smelter Off
GERS finally signed the affdavits
this past summer. However, the
oath of Maurice Travis, national
who resigned
from the Communist party to sign
it, was turned over to the Depart
ment of Justice.

A and P Under Fire
For Monopoly Rule
OF Produce Prices

New York LPA) - The A&P
grocery chain, which earlier this
year was fined s175,000 for mono-
polistic practices, is back in the
courts to face another suit initiat-
ed by the Justice Dept under the
antitrust laws.
This time, the giant food COM
bine is charged with "abuse of its
mass buying and mass selling
power" and imposition of "unrea-
sonable restraints of trade on COM
petitors at all levels of the food in
dustry from farm to table"
The multi-million dollar APP is
especially open to attack under the
anti-monopoly laws because of its
practice of insisting on special
price scales from farmers and pro-
cessors, on the threat that, if the
professors don't give special con-
cessions, APP will go into the field
and compete with them.
Chief APP subsidiary which does
his is the Atlantic Commission
Co.-generally called Acco, which
ioes purchasing for APP, and also
sells its goods to other retailing
outlets.
One Acco practice, widely at
tackled by other chains and small
store owners, is that of getting
control Of the supply of particu-
lar food, channeling the best pro-
duce into the APP stores, and
forcing APPS competitors to take
the inferior goods or just not sell
he particular produce.
Acco has also been under heavy
attack for undercover deals with
,rowers' coop associations to con-
rol what the Justice Dept calls
substantial portions of the annual
fresh fruit and vegetable crop of
he U.s." and obtaining thereby
complete control over it's prices
and distribution.
The court is being asked to
break up Acco entirely, and to di-
vide the APP empire into seven
Independent regional organizations.

son to the thousands Of mothers
who still cling to the ancient belief
that a home delivery is better than
hospital delivery"
All working coal miners or those
who are idle through no fault OF

1t is an educational policy Of the
welfare fund to pay only for hos

When John L. Lewis wrote to the
southern coal operators last week
demanding back payments to the
fund, it was the Coxes and people
like them, victims of mine accidents
and others that he had in mind.
"The daily default of the south
ern companies, he said, because
increasingly important to the de-
pendent women Of this industry,
and the blind, the lame and the
halt, who are its tragic victims.
"The defaulted payments are
large and vital to the operation of
the Fund. In your mad and venge-
full attack on the existence Of the
fund, you have rightfully calcu-
lated that you are bleeding it
white"

Strike Vote Urged
By Electric Union

New York (LPA)-The Westing-
house and General Electric nego-
tiating committees of United Elec-
trical Workers, after a two-day
meeting here this week, recon-
mended a strike vote among the
100000 Westinghouse and GE en-
ployes thruout the nation for
$500 package raise.
Right wing UE leaders, waging
a fight against the present union
administration, have expressed op-
position to the $500 package on
grounds that it destroys any ma
tional wage pattern.
The UE National Convention,
where the right and left wing
battle will reach it's climax, opens
in Cleveland next week. A joint
meeting of GE and Westinghouse
local union conference boards will
be held Sept. 26 to decide whether
a strike vote should be taken.
