|U.S. Aid Is ProIonqin.
Civil War in China,
Catholic Paper Says

NANKING, Mar. 1.-THE Cath
olic newspaper, vi Shih Pao, today
blamed American aid for prolong-
ing the Chinese civil war.
The newspaper, which is con-
trolled by Archbishop Paul Yupin,
called for an immediate end of
American aid to the Nationalists.
The archbishop is on an extended
visit to the United States.
vi Shih Pao in the past has
taken a bitter anti-Communist
line.
It charged in the editorial that
recent American aid has been ex-
tended to carry out United States
military objectives in China. The
editorial charged the current
United States program represents
political interference in China.
Resolution Proposed.
vi Shih Pao's editorial was in
support of a resolution proposed
by legislator Hsi Cheng-to and so
other lawmakers. The resolution,
being drafted, will ask the govern
ment to stop receiving further aid
from the United States.
The newspaper said such a step
by the Nationalists would show
sincerity for the peaceful solu-
ton of the civil war with the Com
munists."
The editorial concluded the gov
ernment should take such action
particularly since at the present
time funds already appropriated
by the United States for China
will soon be exhausted and there
is no hope for any new appropria-
ton"

Ban on Closed Shop
Upheld by NLRB in
Reversing Examiner

The closed shop ban of the
Taft Hartley Act has been up
held in a unanimous decision by
the National Labor Relations
Board in an order for a union to
cease efforts to obtain such
contract.
The decision. announced last
night, was directed at the AFTL
Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union
and its Local 421 in Los Angeles.
About IS butchers left their jobs
in A. & P. stores in Los Angeles
and did not return for several
months.
This became one Of the first
important cases filed against
union under the Hartley
law. The law prohibits an
employer from discriminating
against nonunion job applicants.
This bars closed shop contracts
because they obligate the en-
ployer to hire only union men,
bers.
Trial Examiner Overruled.
The law also makes it an un-
fair labor practice for union to
cause or attempt to cause" an
employer to discriminate. The
board held that both the local
union and it's parent body vio-
lated this provision.
The board thus overruled its
own trial examiner, William E.
Spencer. In a preliminary report
last April. Mr.. Spencer had held
that the mere signing of an il
legal closed-shop contract by the
employer would not have consti-
tuted discrimination.
The board also ruled that Local
421 was guilty of a refusal to bar
gain in good faith because of its
insistence on closed-shop clause.
National Union Held Liable.
The union claimed that the
work stoppage was not really a
strike. The board ruled that it
was. even though there was no
picketing and no formal approval
of the strike by the national
union.
Despite this lack of formal ap-
proval, the board said the national
union was jointly responsible for
the strike because a national vice
president was present at bargain
ing negotiations with A. & P. and
supported the representative of
the local union in a "no-contract
no-work" demand.
The union claimed that the
stores are not engaged in inter-
state commerce and therefore
don't come under the Federal
labor law. The board ruled that

seeing that persons get the jobs
and promotions they are entitled

But the board is not expected
to delve into other aspects OF

of employees or various other social
aspects-unless such practices in
individual cases are shown to deny
an employe or job applicant the
opportunity to get the job or
promotion he is entitled to.
