Union Sources Abandon Hopes Os Labor Unity Teamsters' Union Throws Roadblock In Hope Os Unity WASHINGTON UP — Union sources all but gave up hope today that the CTO and AFL can proceed on their chosen path toward labor unity. , ' The two parent Vnions ran into a roadblock of AFL Teamsters Thursday. Union sources here predicted it will stymie any unification*—at least for some time. The executive board of the powerful Teamsters union, largest in the AFL. Thursday refused to go along with a proposed AFL-CIO non-aggression pact. This agreement to han raiding by rival unions was to be the “cornerstone” of CIO-AFL unity plans. Dave Beck, president of the Teamsters, said ;his group has a •better approach to labor peace and unity then that taken by the two parent unions. At the moment union sources here won’t say what they think of Beck’s ideas. But some see in them the strong hand of John L. Lewis who also has “unifying” ambitions. Beck, in Miami with his executive board, said that all labor unions — iLewls’ United Mine Workers. the Railroad Brotherhood and all other independents — should be included in any no-raid agreement. •He also said the Teamsters •board feels that Lewis and his mineworkers should he invited ■back into the AFL. Lewis recently has been conferring behind closed doors with Beck and with President Dave (McDonald of the CIO Steelworkers, one of the largest unions in the CTO, Lewis reportedly hopes to start a labor unity movement through these two unions. . The Teamsters’ action was something of a setback for AFL President George Meany, who had predicted that all AFL unions would sign the proposed no-raid agreement. Meany and CTO President Walter Reuther signed the agreement last December. But, to make it effective, rival unions in both organizations must sign up also.

Republicans Take Over Labor Board Beeson Approved . By Narrow Margin WASHINGTON, UP — Republicans took command of the national labor relations board today for the first time in its 18-year-history after the senate approved a GOP appointee over nearly solid Democratic opposition. Albert C. Beeson, former west coast business executive, moves into the vacant seat on the fiveman board that now includes two other Republican appointees and two holdover Democrats. The senate by a 45-42 vote approved Beeson’s nomination late Thursday in the closest shave for the administration in congress this year, Ik was also the shakiest majority the senate has given any appointee of President Eisenhower. Beeson’s confirmation, giving Republicans three-to-two control of the NLRB, is expected to signal a go-ahead fdr what GOP-appoint-ed chairman Guy Farmer has called "re-examinations” of past labor decisions rendered by the Demo-crat-dominated board. Farmer says the board has been delaying decisions on cases striking at the heart of labor-manage-ment disputes until the vacancy was filled. Policy questions to be decided include how much jurisdiction the board will assert in the future and secondary boycotts. The two previous Eisenhower appointees — Farmer and Philip R. Rodgers — are regarded by &me labor spokesmen as pro-man-agement. Similarly, the two Democratic holdovers — former Sen, Abe Murdock and Ivar H. Peterson — are viewed by some management spokesmen as pro-labor., Bells Os St. Mary's Ring Out Here Again The bells of St. Mary’s Catholic church rang out the 6 p.m. Angelus Thursday for the first time since June of 1948. It was at that time the services were moved from the church to the Catholic high school auditorium preparatory to the razing of the old church and construction of the new one. The bells which hang in the newly constructed church are the trio Which were purchased for the original edifice in 1848. In their new setting, they, are electrically operated.

A seller’s market. is the exception, not the rule.” He does not care for “recession” as a description of the times. He prefers a phrase of treasury secretary George M.

Our average capital expenditure for 1952-53-54 will be about 600 million dollars annually, an aggregate of $1,800,000,000. “Oil people are optimists.
