unity shown in the refusal of the
members of the mechanical unions,
AFL and unaffiliated, to cross the
picket line. The story of the strike
was told by Milton Miller, editor

dispute was as much over job and

NLRB Drows Fine Line Between
Primary And Secondary Pickering

New York (LPA)-The National
Labor Relations Board drew the
line between primary and second
ary picketing a little finer June 21
by ruling against Teamsters Local
S07 here in dispute with Sterling
Beverages Inc. of North Westport,
Mass. In a three to one decision,
the board said the union violated
the ft-Hartley, acts secondary
boycott ban by picketing the Rup-
pert Brewery in New York, where
Sterling trucks load and unload.
The picketihg began after Ster-
ling refused to hire Local S07
members to drive its trucks in and
out of the brewery's loading area.
On at least two occasions, the
board found, a picket patrolled in
front of the brewery when Sterling
trucks were not physically present.

fully distinguished between the
present case and the Schultz case
In the Schultz case, they said
the union established its direct in
terest in the property picketed by
surrounding Schultz trucks. They
added that in the Schultz decision
they had pointed out their conclus-
ion might have been different had
the union not confined it's picket
ing to the Schultz trucks or had
there been secondary pressure"
against Schultz customers.
In the present decision, the
board did not cite the SUP case.
However, on that occasion, the
board okayed picketing by the
SUP Of a Panamanian flag ship
which was in the Moore Drydock in
San Francisco. The pickets walk
ed outside the drydock because
they couldn't get inside. Moore
complained, but the board ruled
that the union, which was seeking
recognition from the ships owners,
clearly was directing its action at
the ship which was manned by a
crew hired by the owners, not by
drydock employees.
James J. Reynolds agreed with
the majority in the Sterling case,
but filed a separate concurrence in
which he indicated he still thought
the decision should have been
against the union in the Schultz
case. John M. Houston dissented,
holding that the union was clearly
picketing nothing but the Sterling
trucks. Paul Styles, newest MEM
Der of the board, did not partici-
pate in the decision.

Buchanan Will!
Press Lobby Probe

Washington (LPA)-In a full
dress speech in the House June 10
Rep. Frank Buchanan Cd, Pa.)
gave complete review of the work
to date of the House Select Com
mittee on Lobbying Activities
which he heads.
| Despite on S t an t harassment
from Republicans Clarence Brown
of Ohio and Clare Hoffman OF
Michigan, Buchanan made it clean
he is determined to go all out IN
| his investigation of the Committee
| for Constitutional Government, the
| National Economic Council and
other anti-labor Fair Deal organ
izations seeking to influence legis-
lation.
He said he would also call labor
unions and such organizations as
Americans for Democratic Action
to explain their lobbying techni-
ques. A CIO spokesman has already
appeared in connection with Buch-
anan's probe of the real estate and
housing lobbies. He testified fully
and frankly despite rough treat
ment from the Republicans, OBJ
servers agreed.
In addition, Buchanan to d

orations classed by the Ohioan as

ed to submit data on the money
and time they spend trying to in

ority member Of the Buchanan
committee had objected that these
Corporations had been omitted from
the 166 to which Buchanan wrote
May 81 requesting information,
Brown had mentioned the Kaiser
Frazer Corp, Consolidated-Vultee
Aircraft, International LateX and
the Petrol Corp, oil company
headed by Ed Pauley, one-time
treasurer Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee.
Buchanan has been under heavy
attack from the Republicans for
asking the corporations, many of
them registered under the lobby

expenditures and their connection
with the Committee for Constitu-
tional Government and the like In
| his speech, he said he did not care
how much a private corporation
spends on advertising, public re-
lations or even lobbying. However,
he declared, federal regulations
should provide for the full report7

Buchanan developed at considerable
length his theory that in the pre-
sent day "indirect lobbying" is as
important as "direct lobbying. He
contends that much lobbying by all
interests good and bad is now dir
ected at the public rather than at
members of Congress. The idea, of
course, is to elect men to office
who will reflect efforts to influ-
ence public opinion. Buchanan says
it's the twilight zone of lobbying" F"

Roll Unions Shocked As
Bodrd Bon 4O-Hour Week

Chicago (LPA)-National COM
mittees of two big rail unions
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men and Order of Railway Conduc-
tors-met here this week to frame
their position on recommendations
made to the White House by a
Presidential Emergency Board on
the wage-rules case of the two
unions.
Spokesman for the two organiza-
tions voiced shock at the award.
They declared the board denied al
most all the significant requests of
the unions and that even the fav-
orable recommendations of the
board were in such form as to be
unacceptable. The two unions re-
present 100000 employees on the
rails.
The board recommended a reduc-
ton in the work-week of $4,000
employees in yard service from as
to 40 hours, but without full pre-
.servation of existing "take-home"
pay. Instead it proposed an 18-cent
an hour increase which, the unions
said, would be substantially less
than sufficient to make up for the
loss of eight hours pay weekly.
That would be particularly true
of higher-paid employees, who would
suffer a very severe "take-home"
reduction, the unions said. The
board sought to justify it's action
by saying the workers would pro-
badly make up the difference by
Overtime" work.
This is in marked contrast with
the recommendations previously
made by another Emergency Board
in the case Of a million employees
in the Incorporating" crafts on
the railroads. They were awarded
the 40-hour week at 4S-hours' pay,
plus a seven-cent an hour increase
on top of that.
Under the new boards recon-
mendations for yardmen, the 40
hour week would go into effect
October |.
The board rejected demands of
unions that a sliding scale of
wage rates be set up, in accordance
with the size and weight of loco
motives on their trains. Firemen
and enginemen now enjoy such
sliding scale.
Like wise, the board turned down
a demand that a basic day Of 100
miles or five hours be set up for
the members of the two unions en-
ployed in road service. This would
have placed them on par with
the engine crews, as against their
present standard of $50 miles or
eight hours.
Many other requests of the
unions were rejected.
In separate report, on demands
of the Railroad Yardmasters of
America, representing about 4,C0C
employees, the board recommended
a 40-hour week on the same basis
as the other two organizations.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1950-06-29

Therefore, the board held, the inn
mediate connection between the
pickets and the property picketed
was not clearly established. Effect
was a secondary boycott against
Rupert.
At first glance, the board seem
ed to have contradicted itself. In a
case involving Local BOT and the
Schultz Refrigerated Service, the
board ruled last winter that the
union could picket a secondary
employers premises under certain
circumstances. More recently, it
approved picketing by the Sailors
Union of the Pacific of a ship be-
longing to one company at the dry
dock of a second company. How
ever, board chairman Paul Herzog
and member Abe Mufdock care

LPA EDITORS VISIT TRUMAN AS
HICHLIGHT OF ANNUAL MEETING

Washington (LPA) - A visi
with President Truman highlight-
ed the second annual meeting of
Labor Press Association here June
Is and 16. The President posed
with the labor editors in the rose
garden of the White House for a
group photograph.
The story of LPA was carried to
the rest of the world in an eight
minute recording made by Ruben
Levin, LPA president, for the gov
ernment's Voice Of America for
broadcast abroad in more than 20
languages, to reach the people be-
hind the Iron Curtain.
Frank Edwards, AFL radio COM
mentator, and Morris Novik, radio
consultant to a number of unions,
spoke at the luncheon for the visit
ing labor editors. At a cocktail
party that evening at the National
Press Club, the visitors met their
favorite Senators and Congress
men, especially invited by them.
Hosts were LLPE and PAC.
The editors attended an all-day
conference June 16 at the Penta-
gon, arranged by the office of the
Secretary of Defense, to hear top
level military aides.
All officers of LPA We're re-
elected at a directors meeting held
right after the convention session
June Is. They are: president,
Ruben Levin, of the staff of Labor,
publication of Is railroad brother
hoods; president, Allan l..
Swim, editor Of the CIO News
secretary-treasurer, Glen Slaugh-
ter, research director of Labor's
League for Political Education
AFL.
Levin, in his recording for Voice
of America, pointed out that
LPA's primary purpose is to pro-
vide a general press service for
labor papers which will be free of
all Communist influence. He said
that just as the AFL and CIO had
cooperated in the international field
by joining in helping form the In
ternational Confederation Of Free
Trade Unions, so they were CO
operating in the labor press field,
for LPA served AFL, CIO and un-
affiliated onions, and all three
groups were represented on the
board of directors. LPA is a coop
erative, he said, drawing support
from the democratic labor unions
of America, and served labor
papers with combined circulation
Of more than 100000. LPA, he
said, not only supplied unbiased
information to the free labor press
here, but also carried news of the
work of free democratic unions
abroad.
Except at the luncheon, there
were no speakers. In one busy day
the labor editors received reports
on the progress made since incorp-
Grafton last September; discussed
with Washington staff members
the various services; heard from
Sidney Margolius, who writes the
"How To Buy" column, and from
Bernard Seaman, who draws the
political cartoons; conducted clinics
on various problems, and laid out
a program for the coming year de
signed to bring better and more
complete service to subscribing
and member newspapers.
Elected besides the officers
were: Max Danish, editor Of Jus
tice, published by the Internation-
al Ladies' Garment Workers; Cor
don Cole, editor of The Machinist; !;
Nathan Goldfinger, research dir
ector of United Paperworkers
