Foremen On AirIines
May Organize,
Rail Board Rules

WASHINGTON (LPA) - A
precedent-making decision sus-
tanning the right of foremen in
air transport to organize and
bargain collectively has been
issued by the National Medi-
tation Board, which administers
the Railway Labor Act, That act
governs both the airlines and the
railroads,
The ruling-a victory for the
international Association of
Machinists-was issued in case
involving foremen of the North
west Airlines. The board ruled
that 81 employees who are in
supervisor jobs have the right
to union representation.
Unlike the Taft-Hartley act,
the Railway Labor actmakes it
fully legal for subordinate Of
ficials to organize - and the
board classified the 81 in that
capacity. It ordered an election
TO determine whether or not
they want the lam as their bar
gaining agency. The decision
opens the way for organization
of foremen on other airlines.

Steel Industry
Antics Hit BY
Wall St. Weekly

NEW YORK OPA) - The
steel IN du ustry remains un-
loved" and is guilty of bad
public relations in its antics be-
fore the Presidential fact-finding
board in the steel wage and pen
sion dispute.
That's not the word of the
United SteelWorkers-CIO, but of
the influential Wall Street paper
-Barron's Natl Business & FL
nancial Weekly.
The paper declared "the pub
lie has been treated in the Head
lines to the spectacle of one steel
company president after another
getting up on his feet to impugn
the motivations of the members
of the board and complain about
the proceedings in a manner
that must cause howls of JOY at
CIO headquarters"
In fact, the business journal
says fearfully, for the managers
TO have tantrums in public life
like a group of maladusted chill
dren can only strengthen the
hand of those enemies of the
steel industry who are striving
for its naturalization.
