1t does not mean Bond Street"
is not a moderately pleasant sort
of picture which, in the words OF
q fine old critical cliche. adds up
to light summer entertainment.
Its most cheerful asset is one of
those large collections of smooth
English actors who know the
tricks for making the common
man look uncomonly human.
In this respect it does resemble
"Quartet," and this is certainly
not an Indifferent resemblance.
Bond Street" is comedy
drama which is a kind of diary of
a days life behind the glittering
shop windows of London's most
famous commercial thoroughfare.
1t has to tell of the people who
shop here, the ones who make
clothes and sell fabulous jewels,
police the area, and such others
as its street walkers. thieves and
Sniveling scrollngers.
Bond street, you can see, is a
busy and varied boulevard and
the picture moves along at a tenn
po that sometimes almost makes
one forget it is much too long.

The basic device used to give
unity to the collection of four

lies behind the purchase of four
items in an equal number of Bond
street show windows, a wedding
dress. pearl necklace, a bridal
veil and a brides bouquet.

Fans became confused. So did

Whole question of NLRB juris-

The Labor Secretary also dis
cussed the problem of switching
present plant and manpower from
civilian to military production. A
long stretch of that could ruin our
economic system, he warned. "If
we expand our defense production
by contracting our civilian produc-
ton, our overall plant and trained
manpower will be essentially the
same as before.
"But if we expand our total
plant by adding defense production
on top of civilian production, and
enlarge our total trained manpow-
er sufficiently for the expanded
production, we can convert more
rapidly to total mobilization than
if we had to expand our plant and
capacity after a crisis was upon

WHO'S SENATOR
TAFT KIDDING

Columbus, Ohio (LPA) = Sen
Bob Taft's right hand hardly
knows what his left is doing these
Diays.
Taft complains that too many
out-of- staters are being brought
into Ohio to make speeches against
him. Then he brings in Sen. Ken
meth Wherry, a Republican "fur-
riner" from Nebraska, to make
pro-Taft speeches. And next thing
you know, Taft himself is over in
Illinois exhorting citizens of that
state to defeat Sen. Scott Lucas,
the Democratic incumbent.
AS a matter of fact, Taft is i'm
porting a pretty heavy load of out
of-state spellbinders. In addition
to Wherry, he's bringing in radio
commentator Fulton Lewis, Jr.,
who lives in Maryland near Wash
ington, d. c., and Harold Stassen,
time governor of Minnesota
and now president of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, among others.

Washington OPA)-Is your job
within the jurisdiction of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board?
Sometimes union attorneys are
as uncertain as company lawyers.
And there's been a good deal of
confusion on the question around
the NLRB itself. The fact that ex-
general counsel Robert N. Denham
tried to bring all small neighbor-
hood enterprises within the NLRB's
purview didn't help matters much.
Now, with new general counsel
George Bott installed, the five-man
board is taking steps to define its
jurisdiction exactly. On Oct. 5, the
board announced a set of yard
sticks" it proposed to use from
now on, although board spokesman
Louis Silverberg admitted that the
new rules might be modified by
experience or court rulings.
"Yardsticks" were contained in
eight unanimous decisions which
the board handed down simultan-
eously. The jurisdictional content
of the rulings was the result of an
NLRB staff study completed well
before Denham was forced out of
office last month by President
Truman, Silverberg declared. How
ever, it is believed that Denham

To Wage Farley

Local Union 124 had such large
turnout at their meeting Tuesday
evening that they were forced to
move the meeting to the audi
torium to accommodate the crowd.

new faces as well as many of our
cold timers" who have not attend
ed meetings for quite some time.
President Margaret McAvoy was
equal to the occasion in presiding
over such a large meeting and
welded the gavel in her very effic-
lent manner. Margaret has been
doing a grand job since she took
over the reins of 124 and we wish
her continued success in her pre-
sent post.
The spotlight on the evenings
agenda was centered on the elec-
tion of conferees to the wage con-
ference which opens in New York
next week. Three conferees were
elected to represent the various
crafts affiliated with Local 124,
decal girls, liners and decorating
warehousemen. After spirited con-
tests in each branch, the final tabu-
lated vote showed Ruth Bowers,
Margaret McAvoy and Wilbur
Harmon winners.
Due to the conference being held
next week, the regular meeting Of
Local 124 scheduled for Oct. 16 has
been postponed until the following
week at which time the conferees
will make their report.
Reports from the various shop
committees indicate everything

to extend our thanks to President

Emergency Board
Named In RaiIway
Express Strike

Washington (LPA y President
Truman has named an emergency
board to investigate the strike of
$1,000 AFL Teamsters against the
Hallway Express Agency in New

Chairman of the fact-finding
board is Col. Grady Lewis of
Washington. It's other two mem
bers are Joseph l.. Miller and Rev.
William j. Kelley. The company
has embargoed all Railway Ex-
press shipments into and out of
New York, normally one-fonrth of
the country's express business.
Drivers walked out September
%, seeking a pay raise of 20 cents
an hour and other improvements in
their contract. Three days later
they cut their demands in half, an
nouncing they would settle for a
pay boost of ten cents an hour and
welfare fund payments of five
cents an hour.
Railway Express drivers now
get $67 for 40-hour week. Help
ers get $50. The company has re-
fused to bargain, charging that the
strike is in violation of it's con-
tract and of the Railway Labor
Act. The union denies any viola
ton.

Murray Lincoln
Farm Leader Calls
For Taft Defeat

Worthington, Ohio (LPA)-Mur-
ray Lincoln, Ohio farm leader
doesn't see how Ohioans can sleep
nights as long as Republican Rob-
ert A. Taft is in the US Senate.
Lincoln told a radio audience
Oct. 2 that he was going to vote
for Democrat Joe Ferguson. Lin
coin is president of the Ohio Farm
Bureau and has long been a res
pected and popular leader in Ohio
agricultural circles. He once was
prominently mentioned as a Demo-
cratic candidate for Taft's seat.
Lincoln, speaking over station
WRFD here, tore into Taft for his
views on agricultural issues, CO.
operatives and foreign policy. He
pointed out that Taft opposed such
farm-backed programs as rural
electrification, cooperative housing,
soil conservation, school lunches
and funds for the Commodity
Credit Corporation.
But what should keep Ohioans
awake nights is Taft's record in
foreign affairs, Lincoln said. 81

what happens in the rest of the
world" the farm leader observed.
Lincoln reviewed Taft's recent
foreign policy record. A year ago,
Taft voted against military assist
ance to nations signing the Allan
tic Pact, Lincoln recalled. He add
ed that as recently as May, Taft
not only voted to cut Marshall Plan
aid but also voted against the For
eignS Economic Assistance Act
which provided S100 millions for
South Korea.
"This upenviable record of an in
ability to see that the military well
fare of the United States is tied
up in the military defense of other
free nations Of the world, is al
glaring example of betraying thel
trust of the people of Ohio" Lin
coin declared.

Percent Pay Hike

New York City (ILNS)-A 10
percent wage increase was asked
by the Seafarers International
Union, AFL, at a conference here
with representatives of 55 Atlantic
and Gulf Coast steamship oper-
ators.
Paul Hall, first vice president of
the union and secretary-treasurer
of its Atlantic and Gulf Coast Dis
trict, said that the rising cost of
living had "all but wiped out the
gains we have made in the past
two years" He added that the only
answer was a corresponding in
crease in the seamen's buying pow
er. Fifteen thousand workers are
involved.
Although most of the unions
contracts run through Sept. 30,

wage question at any time. Mem

Denham's Shadow

OF Labor Board

Washington (LPA) = The Ma

ounced the "yardsticks" the other
day by which it proposes to mark
the exact boundaries of its juris-
diction.
But Robert N. Denham, the man
President Truman fired from the
post of board general counsel in
September, may yet make the yard
sticks useless. The reason: the
courts must still rule in a case in
which Denham tried to extend jur-
isdiction further than the five man
board thought proper. George
Bott, the new general counsel, said
he concurred in the yardsticks, but
Bob Denham's ghost is haunting
the NLRB.
The exact extent of the NLRB's
jurisdiction hinges on interpreta-
tion of the interstate commerce
clauses of the federal constitution
and the Taft-Hartley act. In gen.
eral, the government or govern
ment agency have jurisdiction in
any matter where interstate COM
merce is involved. However, the
NLRB believes that there should be
practical limits on its jurisdiction
if only in the interest of efficiency.
Denham, as general counsel and
field supervisor under Hart
ley, frequently accepted cases
which the board thought was none
of its business. To cap matters,
Denham contended that once he
had accepted jurisdiction the board
could not throw case out.
The point is now at issue in
Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals
in the Haleston Drug case. Hales-
ton Drug was string of three
drug stores in Portland, Ore. Den
ham accepted the case, an unfair
b or practice charge brought
against the union by the company.

on the ground that Haleston was
essentially a local industry. The

Labor Party bowed to organized
labor and relaxed it's "wage freeze"
policy. A resolution adopted by the
