Federal Judge Charles G. Briggle of the southern Illinois district heard statements by four attorney* yesterday an<l th«-n Instructed them to file briefs not later than Jan. 10. The action, u petition for a: declaratory judgment, was brought Iby Olin Industries, Inc, operators of the Western Cartridge plant at • East Alton, ill. Defendants are the American federation of labor ■ and the AFL union at the plant. J. R. Mcßoberts, St. Jxiuis, and Herbert ft. Thatcher. Washington, i attorneys for the company airl the | union, argued that many employes 1 of the plant worked only a short , time during the war boom and held only temimrary positions. I Rehiring them now would result in displacement of many workers with years of seniority with both lhe company and the union. Mcßoberts said the company's prewar average of employes was 2.333. At the peak of war production It had 11,926 workers. There were 3.459 of the workers who entered military service. Production has now dropped to where 4.369 are employed.
