Virginians yesterday elected q
nine-member Democratic delega-

out small number of voters ex-

quickened by local issues.
In five of the districts where
Democratic candidates were op-

heavier majorities for the incum-

Holding the spotlight in an
otherwise colorless election were
local issues including proposals to

|0ber Law Is Ratified
BY Maryland Voters
With Wide Marqin

Maryland voters have ratified
their States anti-subversive Ober
Law.
While returns were still incom-
plete today they showed margins
as great as 4-to-1 in favor Of most
Of the six other propositions in
yesterdays Statewide referen-
dums. These included the calling
of a constitutional convention
for the first time since 1867.
The closest vote, according to
early returns. was on the proposal
to authorize the General AS
sembly to override bills vetoed
by the Governor during a pre-
ceding legislative session. That
tally, compiled from COS of the
States 1929 polling places, was
60,545 for; 53,455 against.
With $50 precincts accounted
for. the Ober Law vote stood at
112,8o4 for; 45.230 against. In
Baltimore City, where the
strongest opposition had been ex-
pected, the complete count for
all 507 precincts was 101, ,729 for;
1855 against.
100000 Ballots Expected.
Total balloting on the refer
endum questions seemed likely to
go over 100000. as compared with
the more than 100000 voters who
decided the senatorial and gu
bernatorial elections.
The constitutional convention
proposal. according to returns
from GIL polling places. received
112.085 votes for and 22,925
against.
Tabulations on the other prop
ositions, according to figures from
almost half Of the States pre-
cincts, were:
Freezing the number of mem
bers Of the House of Delegates:
100.182 for. 22,8o5 against, from
615 precincts.
Allowing judges to decide
whether the State has presented
enough proper evidence to con-
vict a person charged with a
crime: 96,709 for, 23,087 against
from Gil precincts.
Permitting courts to jail a man
for failure to pay alimony or sup
port his dependent children: 95,-
554 for. 21.519 against, from sos
precincts.

The constitutional convention
proposal. backed by both candi-
dates for Governor. hinged tc
some extent on the size of the
vote. The question goes on the
ballot every 20 years. A major

proposition in 1880 favored it. But
the courts held that the affirma-

man OF the Co-ordinating Coun.
Gil for School Bonds, and Reed K.
Pond, chairman Of the Citizens
Committee for School Improve
ment.
Factors in Defeat.
Bond supporters were the first to
admit that accusations of extrava-
gance in school construction had q
telling effect on the outcome. In
addition to the charges by Mr..
Green, a committee of the Arling-
ton Ridge Civic Association had
issued a report purporting to show
that school construction costs in
Arlington exceeded those of near
by communities.
Size of the bond issue also was
seen as a factor in its defeat. A
S4,750, 900 school construction bond
issue in 194S and another bond
issue for $1,776,000 in 1947 were
approved without much difficulty.
School officials say there are
$4,000 children years of age and
under in Arlington. The present
total enrolment is approximately
10000. About 1,500 new students
are expected to enroll next fall.
Defeat of the bond issue will
not affect additions at Washing
ton-Lee High School and Hoff-
man-Boston School for Negroes.
Money for these projects has been
set aside from the 1948 bond issue.
and from funds granted or loaned
by the State.
Big Sewer Bond Majority.
The sewer bonds carried by the
largest majority-l1,37 to 3,79O,
Sale of the bonds will permit ex-
tension of sewer lines to some
areas and enlargement of the dis
posal plant to reduce pollution Of
the Potomac River. The Izaak
League led the campaign
for these bonds.
Mr.. Dugan, an independent, re-
ceived 1881 votes for another
four-year-board term beginning
January /. His closest apponent
was the Democratic candidate,
Fred Bach. who received 5,497
votes. A third candidate, Jacob
Bechtel, received 1,049 votes.
The vote was 7,642 for Repre-
sentative Smith: 8,340 for Tyrrell
krum, Republican. and 507 for
Clarke T. Robb, Social-Democrat.
State constitutional amendments
to permit consolidated school dis

That was the conclusion of Sen

Testimony at the hearings showed
that labor management relations

peace" Murray said. obviously

gress must concern itself"

conspiracy by southern employers
to smash labor unions. For several
days, the Senators had been hear
ing about three typical cases IN
the towns Of Tallapoosa and Rome,
Georgia, where violence and every
kind of trickery were used against
the union.
"The details of these cases are
said Rieve, because
they show what happens in the
south when free American citizens

oil Workers Vote
For Measures To
Strengthen Union

Long Beach, Calf. OPA)-The
annual convention of Oil Workers
in a strenuous meeting in Long
Beach, took three actions to
strengthen the union financially.
/. The constitution was revised
to permit locals to collect dues
ranging from a minimum of $3.50
a month to a maximum of So a
month, Previously the maximum
was So.
b 2. A special per capita tax of 10
cents a month was levied for a six
month period to meet a temporary
financial shortage caused by the
recent four-month strike against
the Texas Co.
if3. A voluntary strike insurance
plan was established, whereby
members may make advance con-
tributions to a Strike defense fund
and receive substantial benefits if
they go on strike and have contri-
buted to the fund.
The convention defeated propos-
ais for a substantial increase in the
per capita tax for building a de-
fense fund. Arguments against the
increase were based on the conten-
ton that high dues would discour-
age new members from joining the
union and that the wide organiza-
tion in the industry is the prime
need of the union.
President o. A. Knight was NOM
mated for reelection in a tumul-
tuous, near-unanimous demonstra-
tion which climaxed the long and
sometimes heated convention. The
remaining two incumbent officers
of the union, Vice-President A. r.
Kinstley and Secretary-Treasurer
T. M. Mccormick, also were renom-
mated. However, all three officers
face opposition in the referendum
ballot of the membership by which
final election is determined.
Knight is opposed by Lawrence
Dodge, who is now president of
the unions big Hammond, Ind,
Local 210. Kinstley is opposed by
B. j. Schafer, who is now the
unions District 6 Director, with
headquarters in Chicago. Schafer
served as a vice-president for one
term more than a decade ago. Nc
Cormick is opposed by Dave Her
ring, who is now secretary of the
Hammond local.

Matters have become worse since
the Taft Hartley act, Reive said,
"but the southern conspiracy goes
back before Taft Hartley; and it
cannot be broken simply by return
ing to the Wagner act, though of
course, that would be helpful"
The union can't get justice by
going to the NLRB, he maintain
ed, "becauSe justice is defeated by
delay alone" He recommended that
provisions be made for Immediate
hearings on unfair labor practice
charges" A hearing could be held
within a week after the charge is
brought; and a decision handed
down in a matter of days, he said.
And any procedure for appeal
should be just as fast.

Rieye asserted, "it cannot cost as
much as the southern conspiracy
now costs the nation"
