DENHAM DEFlES
LABOR BOARD IN
RULES REVISION

Washington (LPA)-Robert N
Denham, general counsel of the
Natl Labor Relations Board, de-
fled the Board in a public state
ment issued March !. He announced
his refusal to submit" to revis-
ions of procedure announced by the
Board Feb. %, clipping Denham's
wings. Denham termed the Feb
% order "an attempted" revision
and called the action an attempt
by the board to "usurp" authority
Board members received one
copy of Denham's press release
late in the afternoon. There was
no immediate comment.
Denham said the changes made
by the Board would, if effective,
deter the General Counsel from
the performance of his duties"
and denied the Boards statement
that the changes do not affect the
powers of the General Counsel. He
declared the Board "is trying tc
exercise authority that it does not
possess"
Denham declared the board by
it's Feb. % order undertakes to as
sumo control over what takes
place in the regional offices" by at
temntinp fo control "the selection
retention, transfer, promotion, de-
motion, discipline and discharge"
of all regional directors and offic-
ers in charge of sub-regional Of
fices. Denham said this carries a
presumption that the board also
has the power to exert similar con-
troll over all other regional office
personnel, as well as the attorneys
who are under the same general
supervision"
Sen. Wayne Morse Or, Ore.)
several days ago in the Senate ex-
pressed qualification over the
boards revisions to the effect that
the general counsel Of the NLRB

show was put on by its own union
talent, ending with the lusty sing

The local also has a weekly union
meeting and a movie evening. This
is the local that in no time at all
threw a caravan of hundreds of
flying squadron cars around the
Kercheval and Jefferson plants,
Just as warning that it could
picket if it wanted to.
The counsellors, headed by Mike
Marasco, function smoothly, and
they're always on the job. "We be-
lieve in going out and working in
the community" Mike said. And
he told me the story of an ole
former union member, who had no
car fare, and who walked 712 miles
to the union hall to see if some
thing couldn't be done for his wife,
whose lags had been amputated.
The union brought immediate help
and themselves made a wheel chair
for the crippled woman.
As | left Local 7, people were
arriving for the evening social. The
union hall was already crowded
with members standing around in
groups, discussing the great rally
earlier in the evening. They too
had seen the face of the other
Chrysler strikers. They felt and
manifested their solidarity. They
had heard the report of their Of
ficers, and had roared their agree
ment to stay out until they won,
and they felt good.

Political Drive
|Of Farm Union
Showing Results

Washington (LPA)- The cam
paign of Natl Farm Labor Union
AFL to mobilize its members for
the important political bouts this
year. has already shown amazing
results, NFLU President II. l.. Nit
chell announced this week.
First results were made public
at an organizing conference in
Memphis, Tenn, when more than
100 delegates from Arkansas,
Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama and
Tennessee, mostly poll-tax states,
reported many of their members
have become eligible to vote.
The Southern meeting launched
an organizing campaign for cotton
workers, part of the 1000, 900
member goal Of the AF'L as tri-
butte to the memory of its founder,
Samuel Gompers, whose centen-
nial is being celebrated this year.
Tenant farmers, sharecroppers
and day laborers make up the bulk
of the NFLU Southern member
ship. They are not covered by the
Federal minimum wage law and
delegates reported the cotton-far
owners are now paying 81 to 81 a
day and threatening to import
Mexicans if the workers won't ac-
sept such wages.
Two resolutions attacking this
problem were adopted, one that
he Federal government provide
'otton workers families with sur
plus commodities until work is
provided at not less than 75c an
lour; the other called on the gov
'rnment to halt importation of for
ign farm workers.

Convention Backs
Farm Price Plan

Denver (LPA)-National Farm
ers Union, at its convention here,
has endorsed the Brannan farm
plan, which would substitute direct
payments to farmers for price sup
ports, thereby bringing down the
cost of food to the consumers.
The union presented to Agricul-
ture Secretary Charles Brannan,
author of the plan, its 1949 award
for service to American agricul-
ture. Brannan told delegates that
despite the opposition of Farm Bur
eau and National Grange to the
program, most individual farmers
belonging to these groups support
it.
Because of present high food
prices (Which would be eliminated
under the plan) Americans are
using almost as little milk as they
did during the depression, and ate
IL less eggs last year than they
did in 1948, although the govern
ment has about 210,000,000 dozen
eggs stored in caves, Brannan said.

American Vitrified China
Feature On Video Program

A television program featuring
the progress in American vitrified
china research and development
was broadcast last week over the
NBC Network by Station WNBW
in Washington. The National Bur-
eau of Standards arranged the
program, which was transmitted in
both color and black and white.
DIR. George X. Shelton, of the
Porcelain and Pottery Section, Ma
tional Bureau of Standards, and
Mr.. Hal H. Rice, Research Associ-
ate of the Vitrified China Associ-
alton, were teamed with Miss Jean
Warner, staff member of WNBW
in the program. Steady, progress
sive development both in the re-
search laboratory and in the
methods of chinaware manufacture
ing in the United States has rails
ed the standards of quality of the
product to a position which, DIR.
Shelton stated, is unexcelled any
where in the world. He then told
the homemakers that because of
the significant advances in the
creative development and crafts
manship of the industry in this
country, American fine china is
achieving an ever-increasing popu-
lar recognition and preference both
from the standpoint of design and
decoration, and of durability. Ex-
hibiting hotelware, fine china and
other outstanding products of the
ceramics industry, all of which
must meet the high standards of
the Porcelain and Pottery Section
of the Bureau of Standards, DR..
Shelton paid particular praise to
the extreme durability and high
quality of American vitrified
hotelware.
A vivid demonstration of these
qualities was given to the televis-
ion audience by Mr.. Rice, who dis
played and then subjected speci-
mems of hotelware to the same
rigorous tests for durability which
china undergoes daily under his
supervision in the research labor
ltory. Such activities are regular
part of the extensive research pro-
iect maintained by the Vitrified
China Association at the Bureau.
For the tests Mr.. Rice employed

For Labor Press Association


Detroit (LPA)-When the Chry-
sler strikers had their giant rally
at the State Fair Coliseum March
Z. for the first time since 1887
saw the face of the Auto Workers
as one can only see them when
thousands are assembled. Inside
were jammed $4,000 and outside
there were 1000 more.
The face of the JAW has chang
ed. 1t has grown older. In 1887,
when John l.. Lewis addressed a
huge meeting at the end of that
Chrysler strike, he commented on
the youthfulness of the workers.
They were only recently organized.
They were fresh from the turbul-
ence of the sit-down strike. Now
the majority were over 40, season
ed by many strike, unionists who
had learned to rely on and trust
their union. They were men and
women who knew how to sit tight.
They knew they were in the
midst of a long and bitter struggle,
and their leaders gave them no
hope of an early settlement, but it
was an easy audience, full of spirit,
and applause was hearty and fire.
quent. 1t was steady, secure and
resolute audience, which cheered
the statement Of Norman Matthews
director of the Chrysler depart
ment, that "we can have our poll
ties at our convention, but we're
all together on the picket lines, and
expect to remain until we win"
There was stormy applause when
Walter P. Reuther, JAW president,
said the longer the union was kept
out on strike, the higher the union
demands would be, and the greater
the cost to the industry.

women friends who wore the bright

Detroit Cos
Monopoly Cited
TO House Group

Washington (LPA)-The House
Monopoly committee has been ask
ed by Rep. John Lesinski Cd,
Mich.) to investigate alleged mono
polistic control of the supply of
natural gas in Detroit, which the
UAW has also been fighting.
Lesinski said the Michigan Wis
consin Pipe Line CO., which i'm
ports gas to Detroit, and the Mich
igan Consolidated Gas Co. which
distributes the gas at retail in the
Detroit area, are owned by the
American Natural Gas Company
and are headed by the same person.
AS a result, he said, the local gas
company is powerless to choose
the lower priced source of natural
gas offered by the Panhandle
Eastern system and has been
'shackled, instead, to the high
priced natural gas of the Michigan
Wisconsin Pipe Line Company"
Lesinski also complained that
he Detroit Common Council is now
considering resolution which
would block competitive sales of
natural gas directly to industrial
consumers, although that is requir-
"a by the antitrust laws. The Con-
ressman cited opposition of Wal
er Reuther, of the UAW, to the
proposal pending before the De-
troit Council.
