New Chairman of NI et Considered to Be Fair- est of Arbitrators By HERBERT FLUMMER WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—Organ- ized labor's characterization of the selection of 8. Clay Willlams as chairman of NIRB as “biased, un- fair and inconsiderate” marks re sumption of an old feud. The big, qgiet and affable for mer president of one of the largest cigarette manufacturing concern in the country long has been a target of the American Federation of Labor because of his company's earlier troubles with labor. The cigarette industry has been in most continuous hot water with or- ganized labor. ‘Williams himself, however, gener- ally has been regarded here as hav- ing made his peace with labor. He stepped into the national picture for the first time in his life in March of 1933 when President Roosevelt named him a member of the Nationdl Labor Board.

This was the opinion voiced here today by Dr. L. P. Dawes, veteran Juneau physician and surgeon, up- on his return after a two-month trip to the States which com- bined both a vacation and medi- cal studies at Middle-West clinics. Dr. Dawes said that when he left Juneau on September 1 he felt that the prospects of a clinic which for the first time in the history of the c would unite the medical men in a co-operative group, were good. “The need for such an organiza- tion has been great in Juneau,” Dr. | Dawes said. “Whether my colleagues | have changed their attitude since September 1, I do not know. No doubt the medical men will meet in a few days for a conference on this most hmportant proposition.” For Specialists Dr. Dawes emphasized the fact that if such a clinic were organ- ized, opportunity would be given each physician to specialize.
