Mr.. Lewis has said nothing,
but presumably he would like
to add the orphaned lila to
the UMW'S District so, a
catch-all organization of work.
erS in various industries.
The coming election was di-
rected by the National Labor
Relations Board, which also
will conduct it. The NLRB de-
cision for a quick election has
enraged AFL leaders who
had asked more time to line up
the longshoremen. And the
AFL is very unhappy over the
boards list of the classical
tions Of workers who may vote.
The Federation wanted the
election confined solely to men
who actually load and unload
ships. The NLRB made eligible
virtually all employees on the
docks. including cargo check
erS. clerks. etc. The AFL
charges that many old lila
people, unable to register as
longshoremen under the new
law because of criminal rec
ords, have gotten jobs on the
docks where registration is not
required.
The old lila wanted a quick
election for obvious reasons.
The employers asked that it be
held as soon as possible be-
cause they naturally wish sta
bility to return to their labor
relations. The NLRB. with an
eye on the expiration date of
the strike injunction. held
generally to the employers
viewpoint.
Who will win the election
is anybody's guess. At the last
count, the AFL had about 15,-
600 pledge cards in hand. That
would seem to indicate victory.
But the AFL has exacted no
enrolment fee from the long
shoremen, and undoubtedly
many who have signed the
pledge cards are still paying
dues to the old union.
The AFL also has filed with
NLRB unfair labor practice
charges against both the lila
and the employers. Charges
are pending that the old un-
ion is dominated.
and that it is not qualified to
appear on a ballot under Taft

The possibility is great there
will be another strike as a re-
suit of contract differences at
the end Of any truce period.
A bit of background. helps
in explaining the situation.
The international Longshore-
mems Association, independ-
ent, is an old union which has
represented workers in New
York and other ports for dec
AIDES. The New York State
Crime Commission, and other
investigatory bodies, turned up
volumes of evidence that vari-
Gus officers and members were
running the ship-servicing
business as a gigantic racket.
And there were all the crimes
that attend rackets. There
was graft, wholesale thievery
and murder. Union officers,
not all of them around New
York by any means. accepted
bribes from employers, exacted
fees from them for labor peace,
stole union funds. A number
of the officers were criminals
of long record who had worked
their way into the water
front business through the
union and used the union to
continue their criminal oper-
ations. A number were jailed
and indictments are hanging
over others, including Joseph
Ryan, long time president of
lila who retired" last month.
Old ILA Ousted
After getting nowhere with
a cleanup campaign, the AFL
in September ousted the lila
from membership, and char
tered another union to take
over it's jurisdiction. Since
then, the AFL has carried out
a fast and furious campaign
to enroll the rank and file of
the old lila, innocent victims
of the rackets.
Meanwhile, the States of
New York and New Jersey
passed laws and set up a BIZ
State commission to speed the
cleanup of the docks. The law,
among many other things, re-
quires workers to register and
prove their hands are clean,
before they may now be en-
ployed.
The old lila has been work.
ing hard to hold its lines
against the onslaught of the
AFL. The answer to how well
they have made out will be
given this week. William Brad
ley, head of q local of New
York tugboat operators, took
over from Ryan as head of the
lila. He has not been involved
in the rackets. The union is
broke" financially, and it was
recently revealed that John L.
Lewis made it a loan" of
$4,000, presumably from the
United Mine Workers treasury.

Hartley because officers of
some locals have not signed
non-Communist afhdaVitS and
many locals have no consti-
tutionS or bank accounts. If
the lila wins in this weeks
voting, the election could be set
aside later if the NLRB rules
for the AFL on the charges.
The AFL has carried on no
organizational efforts at ports
other than New York where
the longshoremen are repre-
sented by the lila. But Feder-
alton officers believe the other
locals. which have not been
involved in the crime charges,
will join readily if they carry
the election in New York.

House Passes Bill To
Increase Cities Share Of
Business License Tax

JUNEAU, tP - A bill to elin1i-
nate the Commissioner of Labor
as an elective territorial office
failed twice in the House Monday.
1t was stymied on an I'LL NOR
ming vote with two absent.
A move for reconsideration
brought it before the House again
Tuesday afternoon and it lost
1876.
The House also passed a bill
unanimously to provide licensing
of dental hygienists who work in
dental offices or institutions in
such routine work as teeth clean
ing.
The House passed Monday the
C0ghill Hendrickson bill to in
crease the cities take from the
business license tax.
It provides that the cities get
IS per cent of the tax collected
instead Of the present so per cent.
Rep. Edith Bullock labeled it
another raid on the treasury by
the cities" Juneau mayor Rep.
Waino Hendrickson responded,
"You talk like the cities don't
belong to the Territory. Don't for
get most Of the revenue comes
from them and the Territory has
taken over most of the tax
sources"
Rep. Wendell Kay contended
the cities already have property
and sales taxes exclusively and
this just knocks another $4,000
from the general fund"

Ozark Gunner on BIO
Gives Russian Jet Hot
Reception on Cold Day

FAIRBANKS, Up - A 30-year-
old Air Force gunner from Ozark,
Ark, who returned the fire of a
Soviet MIG-15 over the Boring
Sea, probably was one of the first
people to sweat at SO degrees
below zero.
That was the temperature when
T/Sgt. Jesse L. Prim peered thru
his sights and pulled the trigger
that sent six guns into action in
the top turret of the B-5O bomber,
"The Laboring Lady"
Prim said he didn't hesitate
when the bomber commander, 1t
Col. Robert S. Rich, shouted "fire
back"
"He never expected us to fire
back at him and he was plenty
surprised when we did. We gave
that attacker a hot reception on
a cold day."
Prim is a veteran of 10 years
of service in the Air Force. He
was bomber-gunner in Europ-
can combat in the last war.
Prim said his wife and three
children are in Burlingame, Kas.,
near Topeka where the B-50 is
permanently stationed.

were then identified as MIG-15s,
