Board Questions
Resignation Of
Donald Henderson

Washington (LPA) = The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board las
week questioned the validity ol
Donald Henderson's resignation
from the presidency of the Food
Tobacco, and Agricultural Worker;
by demanding that the unior
show cause why Henderson, who
has been appointed to the newly
created post Of national admins
trative director" Of the union
should not file a non-Communist
affidavit along with other union
officers.
Eta, which has not attempted
to use NLRB machinery since pas
sage of the Taft Hartley act and
whose officers never have submit
ted affdavits up to now, has asked
to be placed on the ballot in three
Forthcoming bargaining elections,
one in Alaska and two in North
Carolina.
Just before the union asked TO
be a party to the three elections,
Henderson resigned to be succeed
ed by John lisa as acting presi-
dent. lisa, along with Armando
Valdez, secretary-treasurer, and
Robert Latham and Armando Ram
irez, vice-presidents, then filed the
affidavits, maintaining that they
were the sole officers.
Meanwhile, Henderson, for many
years a strict adherent to the Com
munist line, was appointed nation
al administrative director, and the
Eta executive board announced
that his appointment "well assures
our members of his continued SER
vice as leader Of" the union. To
the NLRB this meant that Hend-
erson may still be an officer of
the union, especially since there
has been no change in the Eta
constitution to provide for the new
office.
Unless Eta can prove that
Henderson is not union officer
and need not file an affidavit, the
NLRB will disqualify Eta from
the ballot in the three bargaining
elections at issue.
Secretary-Treasurer Valdez must
submit a sworn statement setting
forth all the duties Of the nation
al administrative director, and
Acting President lisa must sub
NIT a second sworn statement set
ting forth the duties he performs
as acting president which nobody
else performs.
In addition, Henderson himself
must submit a sworn statement
setting forth the duties and func-
tions to be performed by him as
national administrative director,
stating that these functions have
not in the past been performed by
1im as union president or by any
other union officer.

Pays To Switch Where
The Shekels Come From

Washington HPA) - II sure
pays to switch from the labor camp
TO the side where the grass is
greener. That's underscored in re-
ports filed with Congress under
the Lobby Regulation Act during
the past week.
Particularly Illuminating were
the reports Of Gerard d. Reilly,
one-time solicitor Of the Labor
Dept, and Rufus G. Poole, former
associate solicitor Of the same de-
partment.
Reilly, who is also a former
member of the NLRB, reveals his
"take" from the General Electric
Company for the first time. Pre-
viously, he had reported that his
retainer from G. E. for lobbying
and legal work was "still to be
agreed upon"
Now, the files show he was paid
$16,l97 for the first six months of
1949, or at the rate of over $32,-
900 year. Reilly is also register
ed as lobbyist for General Motors
at $4,000 a month; for the Pond
Creek Coal Company, $500 a
month, and for the Printing Indus
try Of America Inc, S400, plus ad-
ditional fees for cases handled. On
an annual rate, that adds up to
about $4,000, a long jump ahead
of the $4,000 top salary that Jerry
Reilly drew when in Uncle Sans
service.
Poole trails substantially behind
Reilly. He's listed as drawing $500
a month as lobbyist for six depart
ment store chains, and $3.50 day
from the National Automobile
Dealers Assn.
Poole is recorded as lobbying
against extension of the wage
hour act to retail and service firms,
and against lengthening of the
statute of limitations for back pay
suits beyond the present two-year
mark.
Poole used to write the Labor
Departments interpretations in
act cases. Now he's con-
sultant to private firms on wage
1our act matters.

Progress In Atom
Program Hailed
By Pres. Truman

Washington (LPA)-Progress in
time as we'll as wartime
goals of the atomic energy pro-
gram was hailed by President Tru-
man last week as Acc issued its
sixth semi-annual report to Con-
gress.
The report stated that new and
more effective" atomic weapons
are now being produced on an in
dustrial basis"
1t said that surveys conducted in
this country have turned up enor-
nous tonnages of low-grade uran-
ium which are more expensive to
extract than imported uranium but
will be available inside our borders
in case of war.
AS in previous Acc reports, one
of the most exciting facts reveal
ed was a description of the great
strides made in medical research
and treatment with atomic mater
ials. Cancer, brain tumor, and heart
disease are three of the diseases
which radioactive elements have
most successfully attacked.
No reference was made in the
report to charges by Sen. Bourke
B. Hickenlooper (R, Ia) that
David E. Lilienthal has misman-
aged the Commission. The great
progress it reported spoke for it
self.

Denham Reversed
In Picketing Ruling

Washington (LPA) A union
can picket the operations of one
employer on the premises of sec
ond employer provided the second
employers property is the actual
site of a primary labor dispute,
NLRB Trial Examiner Arthur Left
ruled recently.
Left rejected the argument of
the NLRB General Counsel that
picketing under these circumstances
violated the Taft ft-Hartley acts
structure against secondary boy
colts.
The case involved a secondary
boycott charge brought against
Teamsters Local 807 of New York
City by Sterling Beverages, Inc,
beer distributors of North West
port, Mass. Local 807 picketed
Sterling trucks at the Jacob Rup-
pert Brewery in New York.
The secondary boycott ban for
bids picketing to induce group of
employees to engage in a strike or
boycott to compel their employer
to cease doing business with an
other employer. Local BOT was not
doing this.
Local 807 picketed the Sterling
trucks when Sterling refused to
hire Local 807 members to take its
trucks in and out of the brewery
for loading and unloading. A single
picket patrolled the sidewalk in
front of the entrance to the Rup-
pert loading platform whenever a
truck showed up.
Trial Examiner Left said that
this was primary picketing of
only place of business in

Labor Must Be Wary
OF Discrimination
Charge, Ruling Shows

Washington UPA)-Three en-
lployers in Portland, Ore, along
with the AFL Building Trades
Council of Portland and Local
1857 of the Carpenters-AFL were
held guilty by an NLRB trial ex-
aminer Of discriminatory firing of
six machinists and helpers in a
case that should be a lesson to all
parties in the intricacies of the
legal relations between labor and
management.
Just to drive the lesson home a
little harder, Trial Examiner Peter
F. Ward recommended that the
employers and the accused unions
reimburse the six machinists and
helpers for wages lost as the re-
suit of being discharged. The six
men were discharged on Septem-
Der 2, 1947.
What happened was this. The
Building Trades Council, the Car
'penters Local and the companies
acted in the belief that they had
a valid closed shop contract COW
ering machinery installation when
they agreed that the six machin-
lists should be discharged and re-
placed by members of the Carpent-
ers Union.
The Int'l Association of Machin-
lists disagreed, and brought a COM
plant against the unions and the
companies. Examiner Ward discov-
cred that there was no valid con-
tract which could exclude machin-
lists. Then he rejected the compan-
les contention that they had to
fire the men under threat of econ
omic sanction by the unions.
Unless contested before the
NLRB within 20 days by one of the
parties, the trial examiners recon-
was scheduled to take
effect as a Board order.

Union 'Outwits' Steel
Companies, Says Times

New York (LPA)-The Sun
day financial section Of the New
York Times is hardly the place
TO find tributes to labor's case
for wage boosts. But last week,
page one Of the financial sup
plement carried a report by
Charles w. Egan, conceding that
"the industry had been out
smarted' by the steel workers"
because the union wage de-
mands were timed to hit the
papers at the same time that
quarterly reports of the steel
companies showed soaring pro-
fits. Steel industry spokesmen,
Egan wrote, are "conceding that
the first six months of this year
provide ammunition for the
union spokesman"

New York and was not a violation
of the Taft-Hartley Act. Accord
ingly, he recommended dismissal
of charges against the union. I'm
less contested by one of the par
ties within 20 days, the Examiners
recommendation was to take effect
as Board order.
A couple of days later Trial Ex-
aminer John H. Eadie issued a
somewhat similar ruling in a
somewhat similar case in Owens
boro, KY, where the Al ]. Schneid-
der Co., Inc, building contractor
on a school house, brought charges
against Local 16 of the Int'l Bro
therhood of Electrical Workers
AFL. The non-union firm against
which Local 16 was acting was the
Frank Abrams Electric Co.
Trial Examiner Eadie found that
Local 16, which had protested to
the Owensboro Board of Education
about the letting of the electrical
contract to the Abrams Co. sent
picket when Abrams men first ap-
peared to install a light switch in
the Schneider company's tool shed
on April 25. Schneider's union car
penters Immediately walked off the
job, not returning until June Is.
Schneider claimed a secondary
boycott, but Eadie ruled that the
unions primary action was against
the Abrams company and was en-
tirely legal. He said that second
ary effects on Schneider employees
did not constitute a secondary boy
colt within the meaning of the
Taft Hartley Act.

Seamen's Leaders
Back Amendm
To Taft-hartIey

Washington (LPA) - Harry
Lundeberg, president of the Sea-
farers Int'l Union AFL, and Joseph
Curran, president of the Nat'l
Maritime Union, appearing before
a subcommittee of the House Labor
Committee, last week demanded
immediate passage by Congress of
the Lesinski- ki-Magnuson Bill legal
izing the hiring hall in the mari
time industry.
If the Taft Hartley act is inter-
preted so that the union hiring hall
is eliminated from the waterfront
utter chaos will result unless the
Taft Hartley act is amended by the
LesinskiMagnuson bill, the two
seamen's leaders said.
Curran pointed out that he would
prefer that the Taft Hartley act
itself be repealed, but that some-
thing would have to be done to
preserve the hiring hall if the sea-
mems unions and the conditions
they have gained for their mem
bers are to survive. He added that
all recent surveys by government
investigatory bodies showed that
the union hiring hall operating on
the rotary shipping" system had
ended ''the hiring of seamen.
through crimps, boarding houses
saloons, and the payment of blood
money for jobs" 1t put an end to-
the shape-up and the practice of
shipping men to work for their
passage without pay.
Lundeberg declared that the|
Sailors Union of the Pacific, the
Pacific Coast district of the STU
had some form of hiring hall as
early as 1904, and that even earl
ier than that sailors had been hired
through the union on the west
coast on many occasions.
In the course of his testimony,
Curran said that the Taft Hartley
act gave shore-side workers some
form of union security, but that
this would not be true of seamen if
the hiring hall ceased to exist.
The NMU president maintained
that the union shop provided for
by the present law would not be |
much good at sea in the absence
of the hiring hall because many |
especially those on pass i
enger ships, do not last 80 days
and that non-union seamen would
be able to make trip after trip on
union ships without joining thei
union. Non-union seamen would
get all the benefits of union repre- ,
however, until they sue
ceeded in rendering the union i'm
potent.
Two representatives of the ship !
owners, Francis Walker of the
Merchant Marine Insti- !
tute and George Morgan of the
Association of American Shipown-
ers. appeared to oppose the Les
nski- Magnuson amendment.
They gave pious support to hir-
ng through the union, but express
ed opposition to rotary shipping,
heart of the hiring hall, because it
gave the union what they thought
was too much power over hiring.
one point they made in
opposition to the Lesinski- Magnu-
son bill was that it might be in
;erpreted so as to be applicable to
,ther sections of the maritime in
lustry and perhaps-horror of very
other industries.
