Washington, D. C.—Collective bar
gaining elections at the three atomic
bomb processing plants at Oak Ridge,
Tenn., have been set for August 20,
21 and 22 by the National Labor Re
lations Board following application by
the American Federation of Labor.
They will be held under the super
vision of Charles M. Brooks, a special
NLRB representative.
The elections will be held at Mon
santo Chemical Company, Tennessee
Eastern Corporation, and Carbide
& Carbon Chemical Corp. The em
ployes of the three companies will
be polled separately.
The NLRB said that the balloting
represented "the final step in a long
series of negotiations which required
the utmost close cooperation of the
Army, the companies, the unions, and
the board's agent in order to afford
the employes the privilege of voting
and at the same time prevent the re
lease of classified information."
Petitions seeking NLRB determina
tion of employe representatives at
the Oak Ridge plants were filed by
Warning Is Issued
To Owners Of Dogs

persons violating the dog quarantine

would be fined $50 and costs if brought

dogs running loose and ascertain the
owner's name either through inquiries
or by following the dogs. He told the
officers to warn the owners the first
time and to cite them to court if they
failed to obey the quarantine regula
tions.

the AFL in 1944. Because of the
secrecy of operations, the board said
the cases should not be processed at
that time.
This year the Secretary of War re
quested the board to determine wheth
er elections could be conducted with
out endangering security, for which
reason the board could not process
the cases through the regular chan
nels of its regional office. Instead, the
NLRB appointed Daniel J. Leary, a
member of its legal staff then and Mr.
Brooks as its special representative
to investigate and report.
After an inquiry of several weeks,
joint conferences among the parties
were held. Some issues remained in
dispute, so the parties agreed that
the board should decide them without
public hearing, and that all would be
bound by the decisions.
Paul M. Herzog, NLRB chairman,
visited the plants, then summoned the
union and company representatives
and a spokesman for the Army to a
conference, at which the details were
worked out.

Concerned over the many failures
of the 79th Congress to approve mea
sures on the "must" list of organiz
ed labor, and disturbed by repeated
Congressional attacks on labor's basic
freedoms, the leaders of the Amei'ican
Federation of Labor are determined to
mobilize the full strength of the Fed
eration's seven million members this
Fall to elect a law-making body more
responsive to the people's needs.
It was emphasized, however, that
despite garbbed newspaper reports, the
AFL does not contemplate setting up
a "political action" committee.
Following its traditional non-parti
san political course, the Federation is
expected to concentrate its efforts on
getting out the labor vote in favor
of candidates who have been indorsed
on the basis of their voting records.
Other important and current mat
ters to be decided by the Executive
Council include:
1—Formulation of a domestic pro
gram to prevent inflation and guard
against a future depression.
2—Recommendation of policies to
further the cause of world peace.

UNIONISTS ALL!
By Ruth Taylor
"We each carry a card in the union
of the United States", I once heard a
speaker at a State Federation of La
bor meeting say. What does that
mean? What does membership in a
union demand Labor men can answer
because they know that being a good
union member is not an easy task.
It isn't just a question of paying dues
and giving lip service to leaders. Such
members are a drag on any union.
The vows a union member takes are
serious ones. To live up to them re
quires conscientious effort and con
stant application.
Knowledge is the secret of success
ful membership but it must be more
than superficial cognizance of prob
lems immediately confronting a local
union. Toe many men stop with a
knowledge of the handicaps—thereby
seeing only one side of the picture.
They must go on from there and learn
the history of their organization, how
it has overcome the handicaps of the
past, how it has grown strong, and
what its aims are for the future.
They must realize the importance
of their vote in their unions and learn
how to choose, and then support whole
heartedly, competent, trustworthy

3—Establishment of a Maritime
Council in the AFL composed of unions
active in the shipping industry.
4—Furtherance of organizing cam
paigns, especially the Southern drive.
5—Determination of policy with re
gard to AFL representation in the
International Labor Organization.
Besides these pressing issues, the
Executive Council will be required to
prepare a two-year report to the forth
coming 65th national convention of
the American Federation of Labor,
which is scheduled to open in this city
October 7. The Executive Council did
not prepare a report for 1945 last year
because the convention had to be can
celled due to wartime travel restric
tions.
The sorry record of the 79th Con
gress on domestic issues will be re
viewed in detail by the Executive
Council. Most disappointing to labor
were the failure of Congress to adopt
effective price control legislation and
its surrender to lobbyist pressure
against the Wagner-Ellender-Taft
long-range housing bill.
Other serious mistakes by Congress
included failure to improve the un
employment insurance system, refusal
to lift the national minimum wage
level, and complete inaction on legis
lation to broaden social security and
to inaugurate Federal health insur
ance.
leadership, or, and this is just as im
portant, present the views of. the
"loyal opposition". Union members
must become articulate. They must
be able to be a competent accurate
voice for their fellow workers, present
ing facts clearly, logically and dispas
sionately, not only in their union but
in the community.
They must look upon the world as
a whole, realizing the inter-depend
ence of group upon group, nation upon
nation. Too many union members act
as though they still thought the world
was flat. They must take their part
in solving the larger problems that
confront all honest, good-seeking men
and women today. They must join in
as citizens, not thinking or caring
whether their companion in the ser
viee of this great union of free men
be Protestant, Jew or Catholic, Black
or White, employer or worker.
The power of a union comprised of
such men is unlimited. Through coop
erative organization they shall obtain
power, but that power must not be
used for themselves alone, but for the
good of all. They must establish them
selves as a strong force for right
and justice to all men. In that way
and that way alone lies a peaceful
and prosperous future, for democracy,
for the union of states which is the
^,,
United States and for the union of
nations which is the United Nations.
