|NLRB Order Ends
| |Denham Control
Over Personnel

Washington (LPA) - The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board has
ended the control by Robert n
Denham, its general counsel, over
personnel of regional offices. At
fected are 219 employees, who now
will take orders from the board
and not Denham. Remaining under
Denham's supervision are 600
others in the agency's field offices,
The action was another move in
the running fight between the
board and Denham, whose resigna-
tion has been demanded repeated
ly by organized labor.
The Taft Hartley act, known Of
ficially as the Labor Management
Relations Act of 1947, made the
general counsel Independent of the
board, and gave him general sup
ervision over NLRB attorneys and
officers and employees in regional
offices. In the early days the board
delegated more administrative
powers to Denham. Those are the
powers revoked by the latest move.
Last winter in a speech in New
York Denham advised employers
to go to court if they didn't like
NLRB orders. A short time later
the board ordered appointments of
field directors cleared with it, and
told Denham that when he went to
court to seek enforcement of board
orders he should act ain full accord
ance with the directions of the
board"
Denham challenged both regula-
tions, and forced the issue when he
put Anthony ISABELLA in charge of
the Memphis office without clear
ing with the board. The board has
ordered that action rescinded, and
Denham has refused. A few days
ago the board asked a court to dis
regard a brief filed in it's name by
Denham, declaring the brief was
contrary to specific instructions.
Denham's answer was that he is
not answerable to the board in such
In retaliation at the latest board

board itself. They have refused tol

kiIndraWers Seat
New Officers At
The Last Meeting

Local Union II, Kilndrawers, at
their last meeting, August 3, seat
ed their new officers. The present
incumbents, Charles Boso, pres
ident and William Cox, recording
secretary were reelected with Ber-
nard Holt elected financial secre-
tary.
After a lengthy discussion re-
garding delinquent members, the
local went on record to suspend all
members who do not clear up their
arrearage at our next meeting on
September Z. There are four MEM
bers in this category and it will be
to their advantage to come to our
next meeting, otherwise the axe
will fall.
The local voted to refund twen-
ty-five cents of your monthly dues
to every member who attends one
meeting a month. This was brought
about by the persistent kicking Of
some members who seldom attend
meetings and they don't realize the
expense it takes to run a local Of
only one hundred members.
After hearing the various re-
ports of shop committees, it was
the concensus of opinion that a
great deal of our present trouble
is brought about by our own mem
bers. We are all familiar with the
job standards for carrying out the
duties of our trade and when we
go below or beyond these standards
it only works hardship on our
trade. The time is at hand to put
an end to this foolish pickering and
all strive together as a solid unit
to promote the interests of our
trade.
1t is good to see Bro. Roy Jivid-
en- back at the trade after a long
illness.
Withdrawal cards were issued to
James McNicol, Pat McNicol, Floyd
Moore, Robert Greathouse and
James Judge who have accepted
elsewhere.
We extend our sincere sympathy
to the families of Avery Dawson,
Simon Duke and Harry Hill, who
have passed away. They will be
sorely missed by the trade.

AFL Maps Drive

Chicago (LPA)-The AFL viii
put on big campaign for regis
tration between Aug. Is and Oct
l.
"We can't possibly match the
money put up by anti1abol
groups" said Joseph D. keenan,
director of Labor's League foi
Political Education. "But we car
get out the vote, and first thing
we must do is to have large-scale
registration"
keenan, spoke here at the quar-
terly meeting of the AFL execu-
tive council The 15-man council
and the Is other officers of the
international unions met as the
administrative council of t h
LLPE.
AFL President William Green
reported: "We are confident that
we will defeat Senator Robert Taft
of Ohio just as decisively as we
defeated Senator Ball of Mime
sofa and Senator Brooks of Illinois
a couple of years ago" .
The AFL officers, Green added,
did have some apprehension be-
cause of the possibility of a low
vote in an off-year election.
During the Aug. 15-Oct. period
most states allow registration of
voters, keenan, pointed out. During
this time the AFL will use every
publicity means at its disposal to
members to register.

Detroit ILNS) - The govern
ment should screen crews on Great
Lakes ships as a precaution against
sabotage, AFL maritime unions
urged here. They warned it would

bomb.
Recommendations to safeguard
the vital lakes shipping route were
adopted at meeting sponsored by
the AFL Maritime Trades Depart
ment of the Lakes region. Ameri-
can regional heads and Canadian
representative attended.
The unionists recommended set
ting up a screening committee
manned by representatives of man
agement, the unions and naval in

World War III executive order per-
mitting Canadian ships to haul be-
tween United States ports.

because LHe DeSC way Oh COMBATING
initiation is to take the profits out
of profiteering. Tax loopholes
should be closed, estate and gift
taxes should be strengthened. Con-
gress should enact a progressive
schedule of income tax rates, in
accordance with ability to pay, as
recommended to the Senate Finance
Committee by the Tax Committee
of the American Federation of
Labor.
3. WAGES-We realize that in
evitably wage controls may become
necessary. However, we would
point out that any attempt to
freeze wages at present rates
would do an irreparable injury to
the economy and deal unfairly and
unjustly with the wage earners of
our land. Wages have already
fallen far behind the rising cost
of living. Wages therefore must be
permitted to rise through the pro-
cess of collective bargaining and
otherwise, to meet these higher liv-
ing costs and to establish a basis
of parity. Wage adjustments must
embrace as well compensation for
increased productivity and in adj
dition machinery must be provided
for the adjustment of labor dis
putes and adjustment of grievances
and labor must be adequately rep
resented on such boards or COM
missions.
A. RATIONING AND MATER
IAL CONTROLS-The President
should be given standby power to
ration consumer goods whenever
shortages develop and to regulate
heavy industries and allocate scarce
materials so that defense needs
will have adequate priorities.
5. MANPOWER = There is moi
need for compulsory and rigid
manpower controls. The problem
of providing sufficient trained
workers to man defense industries
can be best solved by the volun-
tary cooperation of labor, manage
ment and government representa-
tives. Any attempt to draft work
ers for jobs in private industry, op-|
Grating for private profit, will de-
feat itself and prove disastrous tol
the war effort.
The national program cannot bel
confined merely to the immediatel
needs of the Korean situation, said
the Council, but must be broad
enough to meet any contingencies.
'"There is no painless way to
make the necessary changes in our
national economy" said the Coun-
ell, pointing to the "wave of spec
ulative buying, unjustified price in
creases, and a serious threat of
runaway initiation, with prices of
basic commodities up Is per cent
since June %.
It's program, said the Council is
not an easy one but 1--WE are con-
vinced that the American people
are ready to make every necessary
sacrifice to prevent third World
War. And we are certain that the
only way to prevent such war is
to achieve an overwhelming super
iority in armed strength"
The Council called for repeal of
the obnoxious and undemocratic
restrictive" Taft Hartley act as
important and essential if we are
to advance and further real and
effective labor management coop-
Grafton in this emergency" j
