Ship Picketed
Not Dry Dock
|NLRB Rules

San Francisco (LPA)-The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board in a
3-2 decision has upheld the right
of a seamen's union to picket a
shipyard where a non-union ship
is undergoing repairs.
In dismissing a com mp i n t
brought against the Sailors Union
of the Pacific-AFL by the Moore
Dry Dock Co. of Oakland, the
NLRB also helped strengthen the
hand of American and European
unions who are fighting to have
ships returned to their original
registry. Many ships have been
transferred to Panamanian registry
to avoid union wages, taxes, and
high engineering standards.
American unions seeking to pic
ket such ships in this country have
been open to citation for secondary
boycott under the Taft Hartley act,
because Panamanian ships do not
own docks in the US and tie up
where they can get space.
Such was the "Phopho" case. In
1949 the Kaiser Gypsum Co., own
ed by famed industrialist Henry
Kaiser, signed a six-year contract
with the Samsoc Co. for delivery
of gypsum to California ports. The
Phopho, a Samsoc ship, tied at the
Moore Dry Dock for repairs, and
STU members picketed outside the
gates in an organizing drive. The
Moore company brought charge
of secondary boycott against the
union.
However, the union picket signs
and campaign literature were care
full to point out the dispute was
only with the Phopho-not with
Moore.
The majority opinion held that
as the Phopho was the site of en-
ployment, it was the primary, not
secondary, site, and STU members
had a right to picket. This stand,
it said, was strengthened by the
fact that the Moore company allow
ed the ship to recruit new crew
during the last two weeks of re-
pairs. The decision pointed out that
union members did not ask Moore
employees to stop work, and that
Phopho employees were actually
working aboard the ship.

Screen Actors
Extend Contract

Hollywood (LPA) - The Screen
Actors Guild has extended its con-
tract for six months with major
producers here to work out wages
and special payments for actors in
movies shown on television.
The National Labor Relations
Board is now trying to work out
differences between the Guild and
the Eastern Television Authority
about jurisdiction over television
acting. When these differences are
ironed out the Guild will bargain
with film producers.
The move will bring labor pres
sure in the movie capital to a head
next summer as craft union con-
tracts also expire then and the
crafts have already asked for a
cost-of living raise.

Senate Passes
Bill Stiffening
Antitrust Laws

Washington (LPA)-The Senate
passed and sent to the House Dec.
13 a bill stiffening the antitrust
laws. Senate vote was 55 to 22.
The measure would bar corpora
tions from buying up the assets of
rival firms if the action lessons
competition. The House, which once
approved the bill, must consider
amendments the Senate tackled on.
The amendments would allow the
purchase of assets whenever a
transaction is specifically approved
by a government agency such as
the Interstate Commerce Commiss-
ion, Securities Exchange Comm'ss-
ion or Civil Aeronautics Authority.
Technically, the bill IS an a.ne.lu
ment to the Clayton Antitrust
Act.
The law already prohibits corp
orations from purchasing the stock
of rival companies ii the purchase
weakens competition. H yer,
there is nothing now to prevenC
one company from obtaining the
physical assets of another thereby,
creating a monopolistic situation.
physical assets include machines,
buildings and the like.)
The new bill was sponsored by
Sen. Hubert O'Conor Cd, Md who
insisted it would close glaring
"loopholes" in antitrust legisla-
ton. But under questioning on the
Senate floor O'Conor said he didn't
think his bill would have any effect
on newspaper mergers. M any
thoughtful citizens including labor
leaders think that newspaper mer-
gers result in dangerous monopo-
lies on information and opinion
moulding.
The O'Conor bill was opposed by|
Sen. Forrest Donnell, Republican
lame duck from Missouri. He said
it would lead to business uncer-
tainty.

Senate OK's Union
Shop For Rail Unions

CHRISTMAS CANDLES
BY RUTH TAYLOR

All over the nation this Christ
mastide there are trees decked to
celebrate the Day of Days. Great
towering pines in city squares
growing trees bedecked with gay
lights on suburban lawns; modern
istic trees in silver or gold or blue
with gay bells or modern angels
for their decoration. In the deep
forest or on the mountainside, the
dark frs have snow at their feet
and star for their light. But the
kind of Christmas tree | like best
is the old-fashioned one simply
trimmed with snowy candles.
Now is the season of the Christ
mas candle. And now is the season
when we should light candles in our
heart to burn all year.
Our first candle is the clear
steady flame of truth-the light
that dispels the shadows and false
images, the selfish ambitions, hat
reuS anu pTeJuttlceS.
Our second candle is the slow
burning light of patience-the light
given us by which to wait and work
for the fulfilling of the law.
Our third candle is the gentle
gleam of mercy-not condescend-
ing charity, but helpful spirit to-
ward all our brothers. There can
be no light for any, if there is not
light for all.
Our fourth candle is the warm
glow of friendliness-the spirit of
love for our neighbor, regardless of
his class, creed or color. "lf man
love not his neighbor whom he hath
seen, how can he love God whom
he hath not SEEM"
Our fifth candle is the mellow
light of understanding-of will
ingness to wait and learn the facts
before generalizing with rash de-
cisions.
Our sixth candle is the high
reaching flame of gratitude-of
thankfulness for the mercies of the
past, for the opportunities to serve
of the present, and for the courage
to face the future-"assured alone
that, life or death, His mercy un-
derlies".
Our seventh candle is the bril-
liant light of faith, Of belief in
the Goodness of God, of the know
ledge that in the words of st. John
"We are the sons of Cod. We must
place this candle first in our hearts,
for through faith alone are all
things possible-faith not in man
alone, but in God and in the God
given power of man to do right
that the end may be right.
These are the candles of the
heart and spirit to be nursed with
care and to be kept ever before us,
for only as we keep the light ahead
of us, will the shadows fall behind

weak and unprepared, the Red Fas-
cists will be tempted to move again
and again, to gobble up more de-
fenseless countries or even to
dump atom bombs on our large and
exposed industrial cities. SO long
as we remain relatively weak, no
realistic American or citizen of any
other non-Communist country can
justifiably feel secure.
Strength to Change Situation
"Once we have rebuilt our
strength, the situation will be en-
tirely different. Then Communist
Russia will know that the day of
easy victories is over. The Com
munists may decide to commit new
aggressions anyway, but if they
do, the free world will then be in a
position to repel the aggressors
and make them rue their murder
Gus deeds.
"More likely, the existence of
overpowering American strength,
ready to destroy the Communists if
they make but one foul move, will
suffice to persuade the Reds to be-
have. Stain and his henchmen are
slave e-masters, murderers and bull
les. Words never deter a bully. But
he is always profoundly impressed
by strength capable of smashing
him.
Lives Depend on Action
without question, the impera-
tive task facing the United States
and the American people is the re-
building Of our military strength.
Every American must cooperate
wholeheartedly. There will be many
dull jobs, many unpleasant jobs,
many dangerous jobs. All of these
jobs will have to be done. Not only
our precious liberty, not only our
lofty principles and ideals, but our
very lives-yes, our very lives
depend upon every American citiz-
ems now rolling up his sleeves and
getting into the fight with all his
ability, with all his strength.
"We probably have far less time
to get ready to defend ourselves
than we did in 1910. There's not
minute to be wasted. Let's get GO

The article, carrying the title,
Every Second Counts" and the
subtitle, 1--WE Must Rebuild Our
Strength Very Quickly" says:
"The gravest challenge in his
tory now confronts the American
people. Communist Russia, armed
to the teeth, is moving against the
non-Communist world. The goal
as always since the Communist
gang seized power by violence in
Russia 33 years ago, is conquest
and domination of all nations and
all the peoples of the earth. The
No. l target is the United States,
champion of the free way Of life
which shows up totalitarian COM
munism for the tremendous fraud
that it is.
Many Nations in Danger
"At the moment Communist Rus
sia is acting through her junior
partner in crime against humanity,
Communist China. Stain has other
puppets ready to kill, burn and en-
slave whenever he decides to twitch
the strings. Many countries are in
great peril. Stain has huge Soviet
armies at his command, a tremend-
Gus air force, the atom bomb. His
own essential industry, unlike ours,
is widely dispersed and hidden. He
has his coveteous eyes on Western
Europe, on the oilfields of the Mid
die East, on India and Latin Amer
lea. OF all the countries that he
plans to conquer, the one he most
wants to crush is our own great
and free United States.
"Where Will the Communists
move next? When will they strike
next? Will they roll against West
ern Europe first? Will they bomb
US? 1t is anyone's guess. Only
Stain and his fellow -gangsters in
the Kremlin know the answers. But
so long as the Communists mil
itary strength is enormous and
that of the free world tragically
puny, the likelihood of further
Communist aggression and the dan
ger of the defeat and enslavement
of all democratic nations continue
very great.
Speed Is Vital
"The time has arrived for very
plain talk. If we want to survive,
there is no time whatsoever to be
lost. Just as quickly as possible,
with every loyal American render
ing the maximum service where he
is most needed, with all secondary
objectives gracefully granting pri-
ority to the most important task
IN our history, we must build up
our armed strength. Just as quick
ly as possible, we must establish
equality in military potency with
our ruthless enemy and then surge
far ahead Of him.
