“Job Seniority Plea

PHILADELPHIA, May 21 (U. P.).

holding top-seniority rights under a labor-management contract, the Third U. 8. Circuit Court of Aphas ruled. * The ruling was handed down yesterday in two cases of former servicemen employed by the Elastic Stop Nut Corp. of America, Union, N. J., and the Wright Aeronautical Corp,, Paterson, N. J. Three veterans employed by Elastic and four by Wright had been - laid off while union officials with less seniority on company records were retained. The federal district court of New Jersey ordered their reinstatement and ieimbursement for lost. pay, but the company and two C. 1. O. locals appealed. The appellate court ruling pointed out that returned veterans do not have “super-seniority” over all other employees because of military servjce and held ‘that labor-manage-

which the coal mines were in governAienk possession. TWO: Congress to gant authority

mines they deem \§ unsafe. (Federal = ¥ Inspectors have this power under government pos- . session; they will lose it when the mines revert to private ownership), State inMr. Perkins spectors, working undér a variety of state laws, again wil] become the sole holders of this power unless congress changes the federal law. THREE: Establish a board, representing management, miners and public, to administer the safety code, This board would rule on appeals from actions of federal inspectors and be the fina) authority on safety code revisions, Would Cut Union Power The appeals board would have esséntially the same authority now vested in Capt. N. H. Collisson, federal coal mines administrator.

A minor part of the plan is that it would require the union to give up its power—written into the government agreement with the union —for committees of rank-and-file miners to close mines for safety reasons. Operators have fought this rule. They contend it could be used to call strikes for reasons not connected with safety. It has been criticized by Interior Secretary Julius A. Krug and Capt. Collisson on the grounds that it

apparently had not promoted safety. John L. Lewis has ‘admitted his men needed time for training in the use of this authority. All federal officials conn with mine operation want the ty code continued. Testifying in the senate investigation of the March 25 disaster in a Centralia, Ill, mine, which killed 111 men, Dr. R. R. Sayers, director of the bureau of mines, stated that in the more than 25 states that produce coal no two state safety laws are alike. - Also, he said, there is “considerable laxity in administration of the safety requirements.” This time is opportune, he added, to apply the federal code in all states and grant federal power for permanent enforcement. . This would produce “riuch greater uniformity in safety procedures in coal mines throughout the United States,” he said, “the lack of which is brought out by what occurred at Centralia.”

Employer Gets Socked

With Chocolate Pie JACKSON, Miss., May 21 (U, P). -—It was the noon rush hour and some 100 customers were dining in Chris Costas’ downtown restaurant. Mr. Costas himself was eating when a former waitress identified as Diana Gaunce entered. The woman picked up a whole chocolate ple and flung it smack into Mr. Costas’ face, glasses and shirt. When police arrived at the woman's boarding house the landylady said that she had departed for Ft. Worth, Tex.

at Allison

HE people of Indianapolis have always shown T=: a friendly interest in our operations and progress at Allison —and we have always been so. proud to be your friends and neighbors — that we think it’s time you came out to visit us.

During the war, while we were turning out some 70,000 engines for American fighter aircraft, our operations were surrounded by military secrecy.

Now, for the first time, we are able to invite you to open house at our three production plants as perhaps you already know.

We'd like to have you come in — look around — ask questions — make yourself at home. We'll do our. best to show you what we are producing — how we are doing it—and that Allison is a good place to work.

Do you know, for example, that Allison right now is producing more than 90% of all the jet engines for aircraft made in America.

Do you know that we are mighty busy these postwar days turning out such things as shock absorbers, Diesel blowers, marine and vehicular transmissions, and hydraulic hoists?

There’s nothing stiff or formal about our open house. Just drive up, park

your car

(there is plenty of con-

venient parking space at all three plants), and come in. We'll show you and tell you all you want to see and know. We'll try to make it interest-

ing to you.
