Paivay Blames Labor Board Rulings for Many Walk-
outs; Miss Perkins Calls for Full Co-operation
S
. During Emergency.
SEATTLE, Oct. 8 (U. P. ) —American Federation of Labor executives today cautiously indorsed President Roosevélt’s message to their annual convention which urged elimi-
nation of defense strikes. .
»
‘They praised the message in its general outlines but
with only two exceptions they pointedly refrained from|
comment on the President’s warning that “this is not the
time to take chances with the national safety through any ||
_gtoppage of defense work or
defense production.”
. A. F. of L. President William Green said that the convention “undoubtedly” would approve the message formally
after committee consideration.
Otherwise he made no
comment although just before the delivery of the message
he had told the convention. that, Tecayse Yefonse strikes |
were the work of “imperfect men,” unions should not be %“condemned to everlasting punishment” for their actions. Other leaders also approved the speech but did not offer specific comment on the no-strike plea with the exception of Daniel J. Tobin, Teamsters’ president and A. F. of L. vice president, and Joseph A. Padway, A. P. of L. general counsel.
Padway Blames NLRB
' Mr. Tobin suggested ' that the Government should name those re-
sposible : for : defense strikes and “thus clear the A. F. of L. of blame. He said Mr. Roosevelt's message oould not possibly be a veiled threat of anti-strike ‘legislation should stoppages continue because the Gov- » Seumens “doesn’t dare enact such a Ww » “There is a scarcity of labor and fabor must not be irritated un- ,’ he said. “If our country is compelled to declare wars, the - Government may contemplate strengthening the Mediation Board to adjust misunderstandings. But we are not at war.” Mr. Padway blamed many defense strikes on rulings of the National bor Relations Board in Justice tional disputes.
Critical of Millis NLRB Chairman Harry Millis, he
said, was especially active in foster- | 3000
ing an attitude that constituted . “sabotage” of the President’s polioles. Mr. Padway said board decisions favored single bargaining agents rather than the'smaller craft unions in large industrial units. The pI O. is organized along industrial es. “You can’t help but have defense strikes when workers are not allowed to join the union of their choice,” he said. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins also called for labor’s full cooperation in the defense emergency when she addressed the convention.
A Slap at Bridges?
She said unions “make a mistake in insisting upon a closed shop where it cannot be won as a matter of relatively comfortable and intelligent agreement between employers and the unions”; that trade unions must soon develop self-imposed discipline and guard against “excessive practices.” Miss Perkins also. made an indiJect reference to Harry Bridges, California C. I. O. Director and Longshoremen’s chief, who currently is threatened with deportation as an undesirable alien. “The public believes that those unions have been wise who have by their own by-laws Jequired Ameripo citizenship of all officers,” she

Winfield Hunt, secretary of the Indianapolis Milk Foundation, said that there is no immediate prospect of a further rise in the price of milk to consumers. The temporary price system now in effect gives the dairymen 60 cents a hundredweight above condensory prices. The dairymen want 65. The farmers are getting $3 a hundredweight for Class I milk. Carl Hedges, manager of the Indiahapolis Dairymen’s Co-operative, Inc, asked the Board also to fix the butterfat differential price at 15 per cent over the wholesale price of butter. This would not affect the
price to consumers, dairymen said.

There are two flanking drives, one headed southeastward towards Moscow from the Valdai hills south of Leningrad, the other closing in on the south towards the KharkovMoscow railroad. The Russians apparently are battling desperately on the north and south arms of pincers to protect the flanks of their forces in the center. Provided the flanks can be guarded, the Russians may be able to make one of their typical slow retreats in the center, avoiding being cut off and falling back to deep defense lines in front of Moscow.
