Decision Of NLRB
On lila Election May
Be Released Today
BY the Asseeiaasd Prsss

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE
regional Office of the National
Labor Relations Board was re-
ported ready today to make pub
lie key decision in the disputed
bargaining election between two
rival waterfront unions.
The Office was said to be put
ting the final touches on the
draft Of its report and recon-
mendations concerning 1897
challenged ballots in the, elec-
ton.
Charles T. Douds. NLRB re-
gional director. is expected to
disclose this afternoon whether
he will send the report to WASH
ington without delay or will hold
it up pending completion of an
investigation Of AFL demands
for scrapping the whole election.
A new AFL union. the AFL
international Lon G horemen's
Association, is seeking to wrest
control of waterfront labor from
the old international Longshore-
mems Association. now inde-
pendent.
The old lila Is leading in the
election by 1850 votes to 1868
for the AFL and opposes any
further delay in determining the
outcome of the election. held
three weeks ago.
With the support of Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey. the AFL has
demanded the election be set
aside on grounds that gang vio-
lence and intimidation made it
impossible to get a fair express
sion of the workers will. The
-AT-ILA proposes that a new
election be held.
lila President William v.
Bradley reiterated yesterday
that he would recommend a
general pier strike if the election
is set aside.
Capt. Bradley appeared on a
television program with AFI.-
LILA acting President Larry
Long, a former official of the old
lila who came here from st.
Louis. Also on the program was
/ Thomas (Teddy) Gleason, lila
chief organizer. The debate was
heated at times.
Mr.. Long said the NLRB
"erred in allowing the lila on
the ballot" and that the old dock
union is controlled by the mob
sters and bosses"
Capt. Bradley said he never
took orders from "mobsters.
and asserted:
"Mr. Long is not speaking his
own mind. He is under inStruc-
tions from George Meany (AFL
president> or some one else in
talking about racketeering."
The. lila president said the
AFL is known" to be racket
ridden in Missouri. but did not
elaborate.
Capt. Bradley's union was
kicked out Of the AFL for fail
ing to purge itself of racketeer-
ing elements. Joseph P. Ryan
was president of the lila at the
time. The AFL later formed its
new pier union.

Steel said.
Another price cut was on high

given as the reason, Steel said
The first producer to make this
price reduction lowered the price
for l8-4-l steel from $1.66 to

Steel ingot output in the week
