One, Loses One,
NLRB Election

The international Union of Mine,
Mill & Smelter Workers (Ind.) lost
one of it's older affiliates last Satur-
day when members of Stationary En-
gineers Local 83 voted to change their
international union affihation to the
Operating Engineers.
The Operating Engineers, Local
375, won jurisdiction over former
members of Local 83 by a vote of
FOG to 80, Saturday in an NLRB
election which saw more than IS per
cent of Local 83's BAT members reg
lister a choice.
On the brighter side for the indie
pendent union was the 1902 to $50
vote humping Anaconda Shelter
mems Local 1T gave United Steel
workers Local 6,O02, thus retaining
Mine-Mill as Local ITS international
affiliation. More than 80 per cent of
1927 eligible Anaconda Smeltermen
cast their ballots in the NLRB cleo
ton conducted Tuesday and Wednes-
day of this week.
Since Anaconda Smeltermen re-
tanned Mine-Mill affiliation, members
of that union are now eligible to re-
ceive the pay and other contract i'm
provements recently negotiated be
tween Mine-Mill's Anaconda Council
and the Anaconda Company should
they signify acceptance of the new
contract by referendum vote. These
pay increases, spread out over a three
year contractual period, amount to
hourly wage increases of 10 cents the
first year, and six cents each of the
two remaining years of the contract.
The new contract, which has al
ready been given lop-sided votes of
approval by members of Butte Miners
Union No. l and Great Falls Shelter
mems No. Is, also contains an i'm
proved employer-paid pension clause,
an additional holiday each year, an
improved vacation clause, improved
health insurance proviso, and certain

classifications in addition to the

after bowling with it here as
part of the first Cambridge

Eager thousands have beer
crowding into the ancient
wooden hall on historic Harvard
Square here-and giving ova-
lions after each performance.
For a long time Siobhan
pronounced Shi-vauD and "St.
Joan" have been teamed. but
for a while it seemed Broadway
might not see her portrayal.
A legal tangle over Gotham
rights to the script caused Miss
McKenna to make her Ameri-
can debut last season instead
in a modern comedy, 1.-THE
Chalk Garden" The critical
kudos she won for it, and for
a sensitive performance in
Cradle Song" on a Nation
wide television show. simply
whetted audience eagerness.
Joan, Of course, has long
been a paragon test for leading
ladies. Broadway in recent
years has witnessed Katherine
Cornell, Ingrid Bergman, Uta
Hagen and Julie Harris vari-
ously interpret the maid. and
Paris has enjoyed a remark
