of patrons and local citizens.
Guest speaker was Mrs. Weldon

year and half after Mr.. Whetzel re-

was most happy to be in America,
but, of course, she found it neces-

Part-Time Supervisor
Barred by NLRB FROM
Bargaining Agent Vote
by the Associated Press

The National Labor Relations
Board ruled, 3 to 2, yesterday that
worker serving one day a week
as a supervisor is on the boss side
and therefore ineligible to vote
for or against union.
The decision upset a three-year-
old board ruling that part-tlme
supervisor was eligible to vote with
rank-and- file employees if he spent
half or more of his working time
in non-supervisory duties.
NIRB Chairman Paul M. Her
zog and Member John M. Houston
voted against the change, saying
eve fail to understand the rea-
soning, arithmetical and other
wise, by which today's majority
concludes, contrary to all prior
precedent, that an employees one
days work as a supervisor over
balances his four days work as a
non supervisor.
Union Wins Election.
"It seems to us that, as sim
pie matter of human relations
an employe who works four days
out of every five along with rank
and-f1le employees, receiving the
same wages and enjoying the
working conditions, has far great
er ties with the rank and file than
with management.
But the majority refused to
allow ballots cast by three part
time supervisors of the Texas Co..
Salem, ILL.,, to be counted in an
NLRB election. It was held to see
if the AFL Operating Engineers
Union still represented majority
of employees at the company's s
Salem gasoline plant.
With these three unopened bal
lots rejected, the result was 81
votes for retaining the union as
the bargaining agent and 80
against.
Firm Wanted Ballots Counted.
The NLRB majority, composed
of Members James j. Reynolds
jr.; Abe Murdock and j. Copeland
Gray, said of the three part-time
supervisors:
Because they regularly serve
as supervisors for fixed and SUBJ
stantial periods during the course
of their weekly employment, we
believe that their interests are
closely tied with those of man.
agement and conclude that they
were ineligible to vote in the elec-
ton"
The Texas Co. contended that
the ballots of the three part-time
supervisors should be counted.
The three ballots were kept sealed.
AS a result of the majority's deci-
sion. the union retains bargaining
rights ut the plant.

New York City - Another Fourth
Of July has passed. The Declaration
of independence, we say. But is it.
or shall it ever be? You answer, then
I'll comment as a Liberal Yes, a
liberal, whether it be termed Of a
political party or not.
With these swimming pool or re-
creation outbursts in d. c.. and st.
Louis, Missouri still not cleared up
we are wondering where is indie
pendence. We're led to think of such
a song as Heaven, Heaven, When
1 Get To Heaven, I'm Going to
Shout All Over Gods Heaven"
And it seems as if some folk still
want to say, Heaven is Way Up
Yonder" - But where is yonder?
Just remember that Heaven is free
dom. Whenever it gets here, then
we will shout all over Gods Heaven
country together. We will then say
that we enjoy freedom of religion,
freedom of speech, freedom of the
Press and freedom of whatever else
there is. Until then we might as well
think of the opposite to heaven, for
those who always want to crush the
minority groups.
There are many things today that
need checking when it comes to the
Declaration of Independence. For in
stance, the Anti-Lynching Bill, the
Civil Rights Program, the Poll Tax,
etc. Such must continuously be
checked on thru organizations. What
are the intelligensia doing, today to-
ward such great national political
issues?
