"TOBIN FIRES 11 IN UNION ROW

Suspends Teamsters’ Journal After Bargaining Dispute With Mailers. (Continued From Page One) it was reported he was in PhilaOO eaves said today that the

discharged girls planned to consult | ;

with the U. S. wage and hour division to see ‘whether they are entitled to back pay for time worked on Saturdays in ‘the past to make up time lost on holidays. Magazine's Practice “It has been the practice on Mr. Tobin's magazine to permit employees to enjoy a vacation on such holidays as Labor Day, Christmas, eto, only if they made up the time the preceding Saturday,” Mr. Weaver said. A report that 450,000 copies of thes May issue of the International Teamster might be shipped to Chicago for mailing there in a nonunion shop could not be confirmed. The dispute between the two unions centers on the Mailers’ claim

that they should be recognized NY Altus, Okla.

the legal bargaining agent for the girls employed on the magasine. The girls’ work consisted of preparing the mailing lists, but did not include the actual mailing, which was done by union. mailers- em= BIe a 8 IS Malling Ce “Mr. Tobin—said he could: “not recognize the Mailers, because another union, the A. P. of L. Stenographers, Typists, Bookkeepers’ and Assistants’ union, also claimed to represent the girls.

Petition NLRB

The Mailers petitioned the national labor relations board three months ago for an election to determine which union has a majority, but thus far the NLRB has failed to act. The history of the dispute goes ‘back all the way to 1939, when the Mailers, along with the International Typographical union, withdrew from the A. F. of L. At that time, the only member of the magazine force then a member of the Mailers sent a letter to the Mailers’ union submitting her resignation from the union “in accordance with instructions from Mr. Daniel J. Tobin.” Mr, Weaver has a subsequent letter, dated Nov. 24, 1939, and purportedly bearing the signature of Mr. Tobin, and reading, in part: “The point I am trying to convey is this; that only members of the American Federation of Labor can be employed in our office.”

Lockout Charged

The Mailers contend that this, was, in effect, a lockout, Mr. Weaver disputes the 8. T.B. A. union’s claim to jurisdiction over the girls employed on the magazine, citing a letter dated March 13, 1940, and signed by Fred A. Jonas, business agent of the 8. T. B. A. The letter explained the union's action in taking into membership the girl who had withdrawn from the mailers, and added: “We do not claim jurisdiction over the stencil machine operators or those who prepare mailing lists in mailing departments such as the Carpenters’ printing plant.” The magazine being suspended has been in existence 41 years. It is printed by the Bookwalter, Ball, Greathouse Printing Co., and mailed by the Lambert Malling Co. The president of the Mailers’ union emphasized that his union had no quarrel with either of these two firms,

The alrcraft center of Friedrichshafgn in”southern Germany bore the brunt of the assault and was left in flames. More than 1000 R. Ac F. bombers took part in the attacks. ; The industrial city of Stuttgart was hit, as were railway yards in Belgium and northern France. Fighter Opposition Slight In both the day and night operation, German fighter opposition again was negligible. It was assumed that a desire to save strength for the invasion kept the Luftwaffe grounded, since the weather was suitable for interception, at least during the night. Statistically, nearly 6000 allied planes took part in the -operations during the 24 hours ending early today, dropping probably between 11,000 and 12,000 tons of bombs. It figured out at nearly 500 tons an hour, or eight a minute. Air operations in the Mediterranean theater, which have heen almost continuous against German supply lines in Italy and the Balkans, were interrupted by, bad iy, on a

(A German broadcast heard by U. 8. government monitors said single planes were over western Germany this morning.) Unprecedented in Fury Reports from the Swiss-German frontier said the raid at Friedrichshafen, was unprecedented in fury with the whole city appearing to be engulfed in a “single sea of flames.” The attack lasted an hour, during which terrific explosions shook buildings on the Swiss shore of Lake Constance. Zurich said the Dornier works, which previously had escaped severe damage, was “completely afire,” along with other industrial plants. Two bombers crashed in Switzerland, but most crewmen survived. Heavy attacks also were made on railway yards on Montzen, Belgium, 10 miles southwest of Aachen on a branch line leading to Liege, and Aulnoye, in northern France. Twin-engined Mosquitoes rounded out the night's offensive with a block-buster attack on Stuttgart. At least four enemy fighters were shot down while 35 bombers were lost.

May Reshuffle Defenses

Meanwhile, German officials were believed in some quarters today to have sealed off Denmark in order to reshuffle their anti-invasion dis- | positions after allied and under-

ground intelligence had -searched out the details of the Nazi defenses. Responsible sources in south Sweden speculated that German occupation authorities feared their position in Denmark would be dangerously vulnerable in case of an invasion‘ while the allies had a clear layout of the Nazi strength in troops and material as well as where they. were situated. The belief was growing that if the Germans actually were making large scale changes in miiltary dispositions and reinforcing them, the | moves were of a defensive rather than offensive nature. -

50 Millions ‘Quarantined’
