he meant-that there is only a

Mr.. Davlin advised that Mr..

The WiSes say they have nc

their paper thinks it would be a
good thing for Butler if it could
be opened. They asked Secretary
Marshall which Federal agency to
approach.
Inquiry Referred to Board
A reply came from Col. K. r.
Kreps, acting executive secretary
in Gen. Marshall's Office. Col.
Kreps said he had referred the
inquiry to the Munitions Board for
consideration
The consideration was not fin
ished, evidently, before the Office
of Senator Martin, Republican, Of
Pennsylvania, having learned OF
the proposal. telephoned Mr.. Wise
in Butler and suggested he come
to Washington.
The publisher packed a bag and
came last week. He soon was
touring the Pentagon, where the
Munitions Board has Offices. OFF,
cials were polite but not encour-
aging. The way to get contract,
he was advised, is to get list of
military items and check the ones
the plant could produce. When
the item was being purchased, he
would get a notice.
This didn't help. The bank
rupt plant is not a going concern:
it would have to be put on it's
feet and rehabilitated before it
could be a responsible contract
holder.

The publisher moved on. AT

by the Munitions Board to people
who make inquiries like Mr.

he asked The Associated Press:
"Is there an emergency or not?

The rail unions with 100000
members, are in a tough bargain
ing position because the roads are
already under seizure by the gov
ernment from an earlier dispute,
making it difficult to threaten a
strike.
Demands of the Engineers in
clude 20 percent wage raise, and
"a guarantee Of a minimum assign
.ment for five consecutive days.
They also want an expense allow
ance for stops away from home.
Road crews, paid on a mileage
basis, want a minimum monthly
guarantee of 5000 miles for freight
and 40C0 miles for passenger ser
vice.
The firemen are seeking a 40
hour week for AZ hours pay for

wage raise not yet spelled out.
Chiefs of the incorporating
unions, representing 100000 more
rail employees, are scheduled to
confer soon on wage demands.

Shell Oil Must
Give Up Gimmick
On Grievances

Houston, Texas (LPA) = The
Shell Oil Co. and Shell Chemical
Corp. must give up the gimmick
they have been using to gum up
grievance procedure under the
union contract. Hereafter, the union
can be represented at the griev-
ance meeting by anyone it chooses.
So the National Labor Relations
Board ruled Oct. /.
Both firms had been insisting
that the union be represented only
by member employees of the plant
in which the grievance arose, and
refused to discuss grievances while
an official of the union, who was
not an employe, was present.
This, the NLRB ruled, meant the
company could name union repre-
sentation, and as such, was refusal
to bargain with Local 367, Oil
Workers.
The NLRB order directs Shell
also to permit union representa-.
tives to be present when grievances
are adjusted by the refinery man.
ager or superintendent of the
chemical plant; to rescind that part
of the present contract which per-
mits adjustment of grievances
without the presence of a union
representative; to pledge not to
write any similar provision intoI
any successor contracts.
The case arose Jan. 19, 1850, thel
charge of unfair labor practices
was filed Feb. 13, and hearings
were held June 13 and Ia.
The NLRB has ordered elections
at the Phillips Oil Co. plant in|
Sweeney, Texas, at the Port
Adams, Texas plant of the PhillipsI
Chemical company, and at the Zonel
Oil Trucking company, Brooklyn,|
n. Y. In all three cases the en-
ployes will vote whether they want
to be represented by the Oil Work
ers.

Convicted Reds TO
Stay Free On Bail

Washington (LPA)-The 10 top
Communists convicted in New York
last October of conspiracy to teach
and advocate overthrow of this
government by violence may con
tinue to be free on bail until the
Supreme Court rules on their ap-
peal.
Supreme Court Justice Robert
H. Jackson so ruled in reversing
the US Circuit Court of Appeals
which had revoked the Commun-
lists bail last month.
In an eight-page opinion, Jack
son said in part;
"My task would be simple if a
Judge were free to order persons
imprisoned because he thinks THEN
opinions are obnoxious, their mo-
tives evil and that free society
would be bettered by their absence
"The plea of admitted Commun-
ist leaders for liberties and rights
here, which they deny to all per
sons wherever they have seizec
power, is so hypocritical that il
can fairly and dispassionately be
Judged only with effort.
"But the right of every Ameri-
can to equal treatment before the
law is wrapped up in the same con
stitutional bundle with those OF
these Communists. If in anger OF
disgust with these defendants we
throw out the bundle, we also cast
aside protection for the liberties
of more worthy critics who may be
in opposition to the gosernment of
some future day"
"Risks, of course, are involved in
either granting or refusing bail
/ am not naive enough to underesti-
mate the trouble-making propen-
sites of the defendants. But, with
the Department of Justice alert to
the dangers, the worst they (the
Communists) can accomplish in the
short time it will take to end the
litigation is preferable to the pos
sibility of national embarrassment
from a celebrated case of unjusti-
fled Imprisonment of Communist
leaders.
"Under no circumstances must
we permit their symbolization of
and evil force in the world to be
hallowed and glorified by any
sembance of martyrdom. The way
to avoid that risk is not to Jail
these men until it is finally decid-
ed that they should be jailed"
Those for whom Jackson contin-
ued bail are John b. Williamson,
Jacob Stachel, Robert G. Thomp-
son, Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., Henry
Winston, John Gates, Irving Po-
fash, Gilbert Green, Carl Winter,
and Gus Hall.
Eugene Dennis, former Commun-
list Party general secretary also
was convicted, but he is already
serving a Jail term for contempt
of Congress, and his case was not
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1950-10-12

at issue.
When the Justice Department
moved to have their bail revoked,
it argued that the 10, since their
conviction, had acted so as to be
dangerous to the public welfare.
Jackson declared the case is one
Sin which substantial questions are
open to review by the Supreme
Court" and that the activities
deemed dangerous seemed to con-
sist of speeches and articles main
ly in the Communist press. Said
jackson: IF the government can
not get at these utterances by
direct prosecution, it is hard to see
how courts can justifiably reach
and stop them by mdirection. /
think courts should not utilize their
discretionary powers to coerce men
to forego conduct as to which the
Bill of Rights leaves them free"

|LLPE Lists Is
As Bad Security
Risks For Senate

Washington (LPA)-Thirteen of
the candidates for the US Senate
should be defeated, on the basis of
their voting records, as "bad Sc
curity risks" SO declares the AFL
Labor's League for Political Edu-
cation, in a checklist prepared for
the guidance of members of the
American Federation of Labor,
their families and friends.
Eight Republicans and three
Democrats seeking reelection are
on the list, as are two of the six
members of the House seeking
Senate seats.
The eight Republican Senators
are Milliken, Colo; Capehart, In
diana; Taft, Ohio; Hickenlooper,
Iowa; Donnell, Missouri; Young,
North Dakota; Dworshak, Idaho
Wiley, Wisconsin.
The three Democratic Senators
are George, Georgia; Hoey, North
Carolina; Tydings, Maryland.
The two Congressman, both Re
publicans, are Case, South Dakota
Nixon, North Carolina.
The LLPE record is entitled
"Your Security Checklist" and de-
clares: "Taft-Hartley is still the
test for labor. Any Senator who
voted for the Taft substitute in
1949 and any Congressman who
voted against killing the Wood
Substitute in the House is no
friend of labor.
"But, Korea dominates the minds
of all of US right now. How our
Representatives and Senators voted
on bills to fight Communist aggres-
sion has assumed prime importance
in each voters mind.
"That is good. Because when you
compare the votes, the record
shows that LLPE-backed liberals
voted to keep our country strong.
The reactionaries talked anti Com
munist and voted pro-Communist
on foreign measures.
"The key votes prove reaction
aries are the worst security risks.

State Law TO Guard Rehiring Prospects
Of Workers Between Ages of 45 and S.

Boston (ILNS) - Massachusetts
is doing something tangible about
aiding older workers to find en-
ploynent. Under a new law effec-
tive Oct. 80, the state will seek to
protect the rehiring prospects of
workers between the ages of 40
and 65.
In preparation for administering
the law, the Massachusetts Com
mission Against Discrimination is
holding a series of policy confer
ences with labor and industry rep
resentatives. Formerly known as
the Fair Employment Practice
Commission, the agency has under
gone change of responsibility as
the result of two pieces of legis-
lation enacted this year.
Agency's Scope Broadened
When the FEPC was entered on
the Massachusetts, statute books
in 1916, it was concerned only with
protecting the rights of workers
to jobs, regardless of race, creed
or color. In May of this year, the
name of the commission was
changed and it was authorized to
intervene before court action was
begun on complaints of discrimin-
alton or segregation in employ
ment, public housing, restaurants,
hotels, resorts and other places of
public accommodation. This be-
came effective Aug. "a.
Six days later, Gov. Paul A.
Dever signed into law further
amendment, making it illegal in
Massachusetts to discharge or re-
fuse to hire an individual because
he was between as and 65.
Penalties for violations Of the
statutes remained un c h ang d.
These provided fines of from $l00
to $500 and personal damage claims
up to $500. The commission also
may enter "cease and desist" orders
for any violation of the law. These
formal orders, however, may be
filed only after conciliation efforts
fail and a formal hearing is held.
The 3 commissioners who have
directed the efforts of the COM
mission since 1916 will continue
under the new agency. Mrs. Mild
red Maloney of Winchester, is
chairman. The other commissioners
are Judge A. X. Cohen, Boston, and
Elwood S. McKenny, Newton.
Mrs. Mahoney, in discussing the
new responsibility, said the COM
mission had never found it neces-
sary to bring court action against
any person under the original law
and that she was confident cases
under the later amendments also
could be settled amicably.
To Use ConciliatOry Approach
"Our commission will carefully
examine the facts concerned in any
complaint brought to it charging
unfair discrimination based solely
upon age 45-65," she said, "and
every effort will be made through
the process of conciliation, confer
ence and personal persuasion with
employer and employe to rectify
this situation and to see that cap
able workers are not denied oppor-
tunity simply because they are past
the age Of as"
AS showing the need for the new
legislation, Mrs. Maloney pointed
out that the number Of middle
aged and older persons in the popu-
lation was growing. "In 1900, only
1877 percent of the total population
was between the ages of as and
Ga" she added. "ln 1850, the num-
Der in this age group had increas-
ed to POS percent of the popula-
ton.

Army Officially
Accepts Blatz
Free Beer Offer

Milwaukee, Wisc.-A happy end
ing to the dilemma of a source of
free beer for the armed forces on
the Korean battlefront was writ
ten this week when the Army offic-
tally accepted an offer of 600,OOO
cans or bottles of free beer made
on behalf of the Blatz Brewing Co.
of Milwaukee.
Notification of acceptance was
contained in a telegram of thanks
sent to Lewis S. Rosenstiel, chair
man of the board of Schenley In
dustries, Inc, New York, who made
the offer on behalf of the Blatz
Brewing Co. Division of Schenley.
The offer was made more than a
week ago when word first reached
the United States that the daily
ration of one can of 80 beer had
been stopped for front line forces,
through no fault of the Army's.
The telegram, signed by Archi-
bald S. Alexander, Under Secre-
tary of the Army, stated:
"Your offer to provide approx
mately 100000 cans or bottles of
beer to forces in Korea is accept
led, providing it is of the same gen
eral type as furnished to the Army
Air Forces exchange service. De-.
tailed shipping instructions will be
