than 90 percent of the 2 Oil delegates in his most deHsive victory since he becamf a labor leader. Even some of his most bitter opponents jumped on the bf"dwaeon.
The official tabulation showed that Reuther won 8.021 vote to only 639 for W. G. Grant, the left-wing "progressive unity caucus" candidate. Emil Mazey, secretary-treasurer, and Vice-Presidents John
W. Livingston and Richard Gos
ser were reflected by similar
maiorities. The delegates staged a stirring
half-hour demonstration when the 41-year-old red-haired labor boss was nominated. The victory was not only a personal tribute to the boyishlooking president. It was clear notice of the collaDse of the once-dominant UAW left-wing faction. The left-wingers . were expected to battle valiantly to get at least one man on the Reutherstacked UAW executive board today. But their chances of success appeared poor.

Any number from one on up may be brought A charge of five cents per head will be made by the lamb committee, which will be used to defray expenses.

A trucker will be available, to take lambs on to the Indianapolis market.
