Strike is Lockout
But OMIU Fails
To Shed Any Tears

Denver, Colo. LPA)-Ordinarily
a strike turned lockout would look
like bad medicine for union, but
not in the case of the Oil Workers
and the Texas Co. The union is
shedding no tears.
On April a a strike of 8000 oil
workers shut the Texas Co. refin-
cries at Port Arthur and Port
Neches, Tex, Lawrenceville and
Lockport, ILL.,, and Casper, Wyo
A few days later the 1000 strikers
at Lockport offered to return to
work. Management, suspicious, ask
ed "on what conditions" When the
union said "no conditions" the
company rejected the offer. The
strike thus became a lockout.
A few days later, the strikers at
Lawrenceville offered to return to
work. The company agreed. But
still suspicious, the company put
only a third of the plant in opera
tion. The unionists mostly stand
around and draw pay.
A few days later still, the Casper
workers offered to return. The
company agreed. In three days,
with the complicated refinery just
getting back into production, the
workers gave notice they were
striking again, negotiations hav-
ing proved fruitless." Management
started buttoning up the splant
again. Thirty-six hours later, the
union notified management it had
postponed the strike indefinitely,
After a huddle, the management
ordered the workers out, thus max
ing it another lockout.
Next day at Port Arthur and
Port Neches 6000 showed up at the
gates, offering to go to work.
Management refused, thus creating
two more lockouts.
At Lawrenceville, the company is
operating at one-third capacity,
afraid to get the big stills and
catalytic cracking units going full
blast, in view of the possibility of
another strike.
With the union workers locked
out, the company cannot run in
scabs without first giving the union
members a chance to return to
work. And if the company let's the
union men back in, the strike may
be renewed if the company does
not settle down to bargaining.
Furthermore, in most states, the
locked-out men can get unemploy-
ment compensation. If they were
on strike, they couldn't.
Shortly after the strike beganS
the company sued the union for
$500,C00 charging the union violat-
ed the contract at Port Neches by
failing to give sufficient notice.
Next day the company filed suit
for 81 sos, 500 damages in the Lock-
port strike-which was by then a
lockout, and not a strike. Then the
company forgetfully locked out the
Port Neches workers, and the union
promptly sued for $2,0O0,0CO plus
all lost pay for the duration, charg-
ing the company had not given the
80 days notice.
The current situation sees four
fifths of the company's refining
idle. The company can
now offer to reopen, and risk the
heavy expense of going back into
with the worry of the
added expense of closing again If
strikes are renewed. The company
can keep the plants idle by its
lockout order. Or the company can
really bargain.

GE Workers Choose
Between Rival Unions
In Election Today
BY fhs Associotsd Press

BALTIMORE, May 25.-Thou-
sands of employees In 81 General
Electric plants voted today to de-
eide which Of two electrical unions
was to represent them-the new
CIO group or the union the CIO
expelled last year.
The balloting, with some 95, 900
workers eligible. is being Superin-
tended by the Baltimore regional
Office of the National Labor Re-
lations Board. Results will be
tabulated here tonight.
Division Possible.
The vote will determine repre-
sentation for each plant. It may
be that GE will be divided among
the bitterly competitive unions,
the CLOS new International Union
of Electrical Workers or the
United Electrical Workers.
IUE officials insist that the vote
is on Communist issue. The UE
was expelled from the CIO for al
legged Communist domination.
Secretary of Labor Tobin last
Sunday Joined Philip Murray, CIO
chief, at an anti-UE rally and
both men said the union was Red
controlled.
UE denied the accusation, as it
has denied the many similar
charges before. "Phoney," said
UE President Albert Fitzgerald of
the Murray -Tobin assertions.
-GE Key Prize.
Mr.. Fitzgerald's union has had
a number of defeats in important
industry elections so far but only
one-at General Motors-proved
a sweeping victory for the IUE,
headed by CIO Treasurer James B.
Carey.
At Radio Corporation of America
the IUE victory margin was slim.
Results Of the Westinghouse
NLRB election were inconclusive.
One run-of election must still be
held at Westinghouse big Pitts
burgh plant.
GE. the Nations biggest elec-
trical manufacturer, therefore
represents a key prize in the pro-
longed union struggle.

AnglO-Je,Us Report on Je'Us-
Behind the Iron Curtain

LONDON, (JTA)-A report on
the condition of Jews in countries
behind the Iron Curtain was made
public by the Anglo-Jewish As
sociation. 1t emphasized that
while Jews as Jews are not be-
ing prosecuted in those countries,
attempts to express Judaism spell
danger for them.
The report establishes that the
governments in the Soviet bloc of
countries view with extreme dis
favor any Independent Jewish or
ganization, if it is not completely
in the hands of Communists.
Such organizations are either
banned or forced to dissolve ''vol-
UNFAIRLY" or are taken over by the
Communists. When non-politica1
communities are still tolerated,
as for instance in Hungary, they
are confined strictly to religious
affairs, the report says.
Emigration to Israel is difficult
from almost all these countries,
with the exception of Bulgaria,
the report emphasizes. 1t adds
that Zionism is regarded in
Soviet block countries as an enc
my. Jewish Communists play a
leading role in vilifying both
Zionism and the Israel Govern
ment; however, in some small
matters the governments of East
ern Europe go out of their way
to show benevolence to their
Jewish populations, the report
declares.
Examination of the new Soviet
Encyclopedia shows inclusion of
nine religious recognizedly the
Soviets, but there is no reference
to Judaism anywhere.

Rapid Growth of
Yeshivas in i. S.

HURLEYVILLE, New York,
(JTA) - "The ph enom e n a
growth of Orthodox Yeshivas and
all-day schools throughout the U.
S. is an indication of the growing
desire by American Jews for a
genuine, uncompromising Juda-
ism," Rabbi Morris Sherer, execu-
tive vice-president of Agudas Is
rael, told the 18th national con-
vention of the organization.
Rabbi Elijah M. Bloch called
for the adoption of the Torah as
the Constitution of Israel. How
ever, since it is not possible to
obtain majority of the Knesset
to agree to this proposition, Rabbi
Bloch said, it would be better to
adopt no Constitution and avoid
the possibility of one contrary to
the Torah.

BAD GUY Remember when you were a kid Re-
member when. you bossed the gang like a big shot and
broke down and cried like a baby when they said it was
time to come in the house? Remember the marbles and
the snowmen, the sling shots and the belly-wopping?
Every once in a while you had a favorite game. If it
wasn't cops n robbers = it was cowboys n Indians. And
the Indians were always the bad guys. The Indians were
always gruesomely painted and frantic in war dances,
screeching down upon the poor unsuspectlng white man
to scalp him and terrorize tragic little children. The In
dian was always the bad guy. :
It's an idea that belongs to childhood, but it's also an
idea that belongs to the concepts of grownup people and
has belonged to them for years. The Indian was a savage
like Negroes were savages. The Indians loved war dances
like Negroes love watermelon, fried chicken and swing
music. The Indian practised hatred just as all Negroes
hated work.
There's a name for this kind of thing. It's called
stereotype. Stereotype means filing people away in the
classifications you want to place them according to and
because of their race or color or creed. Like Chinese eat
ing rats. Like Jews being money-mad. Like African ma
tives having no intelligence.
Are you the kind of person who files races and
creeds away in pigeonholes of a narrow concept? Then
you should see "Broken Arrow the new Twentieth Cen
tury-Fox film, opening at the Palace Theater, Sunday,
September II. It's the story of the days when warfare be-
tween Indians and the white man ragged at it's deadliest.
But you don't only see Indians hating, scalping and bel
lowing warlike noises. You see Indians, living, suffering,
and loving. An Indian girl (Debra Paget) and a white
man (Jimmy Stewart) fall in love and marry. Not one
of the recent deserving pictures built around the race re-
lations problem "Home of the Brave" "Pinky" or Lost
Boundaries goes SO far in the American attempt to do
away with stereotype. In Broken Arrow you see In
dians as what they are : and what they always have
been humans. If you suffer from the disease of stereo-
type = a highly contagious ailment then Twentieth Cen
%tury-Fox's new classic is a powerful antidote and the one
for you. And, incidentally, if you merely like good en-
tertainment, that still goes

There are several tribes of Guiana
Indians, and among them are the
Warrals, in the northern part OF
British Guiana.
The Warraus are small in num-
Der, but the men among them take
part in the strange and interesting
contest known as the Shield game. -
In that contest two men stand
face to face, with two shields be-
tween them. While resting upright
on the ground, the shields may be
almost as high as the men.
The next step is for the men to
push their shields. This is test OF
strength. In a few seconds or a few
minutes one or the other is likely
to prove that he is stronger by
pushing his opponent down. The
loser may find himself on his back,
with two shields over him and with
his opponent still pressing to show
that victory is complete.
The Warraus live In wooden huts
which are tlnatched with palm

Sometimes two families have q
dispute and meet to settle it by the
shield game. Fathers and sons take
part on each side. and even a
grandfather may join. Often they
use their knees, as well as their
hands, to push the shields. If nei-
ther opponent falls over, there still
maybe a victory because one has
been forced to step backward from
his first position.
Related to the Warraus are the
Arawaks. It is believed that Arawak
Indians have been in Guiana longer
than any other tribesmen.
An old custom of the Arawaks is
to play the whip game" which is
a rough contest. Each man holds a
whip. One strikes the bare legs OF
the other with whip. Then he
gets q stroke on his own legs.

! It Is never my purpose to mini
mize the importance of the OPEN
ing lead, but I am convinced that
the follow-up lead-that is, the lead
to trick two df the opening leader
has been so fortunate as to retain
the privilege)-is the one that car
ries the most weight. No longer is
the defense in the dark. One-half
Of the enemy equipment is in full
view and there is available more
concrete evidence upon which to
base deduction. Usually the prob
lem centers around the selection Of
the suit in which to make the fol-
ow-up lead, but sometimes there
is the additional problem as to the
selection of the appropriate card in
that suit.
North's three diamond bid strikes
this observer as very poor strategy.
While on the surface it may appear
to be an entirely innocuous call, in
actual fact it virtually commits the
partnership to a game contract.
Let us see why! After North's bid
of three diamonds, South is forced
to speak again. Presume that he
does so by mere rebid CT three
spades. Surely, then, North has no
intention of passing; he intends to
go on to four spades. Yet, he is
very apt to find that the South
hand was an absolute minimum and
there is no play for game.
The proper procedure is for North
to bid two spades. This denotes
good hand, inasmuch as it is free
bid, but it is not forcing on partner,
who may retire if he holds a mini
mum. On the actual hand, to be
sure all roads led to Rome and the
game contract in spades, regardless
of the manner of the auction.
On the lead of the king of hearts,
East played the five, the lowest in
sight. 1t was highly likely that de-
clarer had no more of the suit, since
Evening star., 1950-05-17

East's raise was probably based on
holding of four trumps. and it
behooved West to shift. With the
solid array of diamonds in dummy,
it was evident that unless the de-
fense could win three club tricks
there was no balm in Gilead. East
just had to have the ace of clubs. If
not, thoughts might just as well
turn to the next hand.
West must be careful, however,
to lead the jack of clubs. This takes
care of all holdings where East
holds the ace. The location of the
ten of clubs then becomes inmate
rial. The jack will presumably be
covered by dummy's queen and
taken by the ace. When the three
of clubs comes back, South's ten
is trapped.
What, you ask, if East had had
the ace of diamonds and South
the ace of clubs? Show me the
man who could beat that hand and
I'll show you Houdini's logical sue
ceSsor.
