Strike Leaders Hail Labor
Board Ruling in Inter
Union Strife.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January lfi —A show
down In the interunion maritime con
troversy on the Atlantic and Gulf
Coast* was predicted today by strike
leaders a* a result of the National
Labor Relations Board's decision to
consider their charges of unfair labor
practices.
Jack Lawrensen. secretary of the
Joint Maritime Strike Council, said
“we welcome the opportunity to prove
we are not conducting an outlaw
•trike."
The board notified 35 steamship
companies and the American Steam
ship Owners' Association, which have
refused to negotiate with strike lead
ers, that a hearing will be held in
Washington Friday to establish
whether the board has jurisdiction.
Wage Contract Called Fraud.
Representatives of three units of
the International Seamen's Union
filed charges that the wage contract
negotiated last March between owners
and International officers is ‘ fraudu
lent'* and that union members had no
opportunity to vote on it. The in
aurgents voted in November to strike
Xor wage parity with the West Coast.
The three units are the Marine
Firemen, Boilers and Water Tenders’
Union, which elected new officers
sympathetic to the strike last October,
and the Eastern Gulf and Sailors'
Association and the Marine Cooks’
and Stewards’ Union. The last two
groups were represented by trustees
•lected at meetings December 14.
“The seamen have not had a chance
to honestly elect either international
officers or officials of these two
unions,’' said Lawrensen. “The cooks
have not had an election in years.
The trustees were chosen by dele
gates from all East and Gulf ports to
aerve until an election can be held.”
Rap* Scharrenberg’* Record.
Lawrensen said that Paul Scnarren
berg, acting president of the I. S. U.,
who deplored the possibility of Gov
ernment intervention to decide who
•hall be the union officials, “has been
expelled twice from the Seamen's
Union on the Pacific by referendum."
He said Scharrenberg was appointed
by Ivan Hunter, secretary-treasurer of
'the I. S. U., as “political agent in
Washington" because of the Illness
of Andrew Furuseth, aged president
Of the I. S. U.
Hunter was named a defendant in
the original action, charging the 1936
contract was “fraudulent,” filed lit
the Supreme Court here in behalf of
Joe Currant, strike leader, and oth
ers. Justice Aron Steuer ruled the
Labor Board had "exclusive Jurisdic
tion.”

The first of 13 new Army four
engined Boeing bombardment air
planes, the largest land planes yet
produced in the United States, was
delivered to the Army Air Corps today

•War Department announced.
Further intensive tests on this type
of aircraft will be carried on by the
material division of the Air Corp6 be
lore it is turned

squadron, it was

minor damage to
another experi

to Dayton by Maj. John D. Corkllle,
Air Corps, who has been the Army
representative at the Boeing plant
during construction of the plane.
Plans to make the flight non-stop
were abandoned because of bad
weather en route and Maj. Corkllle
made the trip with several intermedi
ate landings.
"These landings, on strange fields
under varying conditions of altitude,
surface and wind Intensity have
demonstrated that many of the usual
'bugs,’ always present in complicated
mechanical apparatus, have now been
eliminated,” the War Department ex
plained.
The new bombers are expected to
prove the most formidable aerial de
fense weapon ever developed for tht
Army. They will have far more speed
and a substantially greater cruising
range than any bomber ever before
produced, it was explained.
