< ol Labor Board Upheld By Supreme Court In Lorillard Case Question of Voting to Pick | Bargaining Agent Ruled Matter for N. L. R. B. The Supreme Court held today that the National Labor Relations Board was within its rights in de- | nying the application of an employ- er for an eiection to determine the bargaining agents for its workers after the board already had desig- nated a bargaining agent. In a memorandum opinion the court said that the question of an election was for the board to de- termine. The decision reversed the action of the Sixth Circuit Court of Ap- peals in refusing to enforce an order of the labor board requiring the IBms = Ll | man P. Lorillard Co.. tobacco manufac- | turers, to bargain with a C. I. O. tobacco worker’s local at Middle- | town, Ohlo, until the employes had | chosen between this union and an independent union by a formal ballot. | No Election Called For. | ‘The Labor Board said no election was called for, as the C. 1. O. had a majority at the Middletowa plant when the proceedings were started more than three years ago and that, if there had been a subsequent shift in the membership it was due to un- fair labor practice of the employer | in refusing to deal with the union. In other decisions today the Su- preme Court took these stands: Declared that “war suspends the right of enemy plaintiffs to prose- cute actions in our courts,” and thus | prevented the Italian Ambassador | from contesting the seizure of the | tanker Brennero and its $431,000 oil | cargo at Hoboken, N.

The board said in its opinion with respect to Communist membership: | “We have rejected the evidence given by (James D.) O'Neil and (Harry) Lundeberg as not worthy of belief. That of O'Neil, a witness who perjured himself on the stand, comprises unsworn hearsay and is internally contradictory. That of Lundeberg, admittedly an active rival—even enemy—of the respond- ent, is also internally inconsistent Further, the records strongly suggest evasion and equivocation on the part of that witness, and it is clear that on occasion he has made statements contradicting the ones relied on. “We have, accordingly, concluded that the case relied on by the Immi- gration Service and accepted by the presiding inspector is not sustained.” Bridges to Lose No Time In Applying for Citizenship | SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 5 (#).— | Harry Bridges, waterfront labor leader, will seek American citizen- ship immediately, his office said to- | day, after the Board of Immigra- tion Appeals in Washington had rec- ommended cancellation of deporta- tion proceedings against him. The Bridges Defense Committee, which represented him in two de- portation actions, issued a state- ment declaring Mr. Bridges “will seek citizenship as quickly as is per- mitted.” He was unable to do so earlier, the statement said, “because of the long persecution which began | during the 1934 Pacific Coast mari- #me strike.” “Now that he has been twice | found innocent.” the committee said, “we trust there will be no further delay in permitting him to take his rightful place in American life.” ‘AiirfiFc‘Jrce_ (Continued From First Page.) a 10 per cent increase in freight and passenger rates. The roads said the increase is needed because of higher wages be- ing paid under a recent arbitration award and because of other in- creased operating costs which they attributed to the war. It has been estimated the higher wages will add more than $300,000.- 000 annually to the roads’ pay roll. In an opening statement R. V. Fletcher of Washington, vice presi dent of the Association of Ameri- can Railroads, said the need for handling war traffic without delay made a hearing on a flat percentage increase necessary rather than.a hearing on higher rates for specific commodities A commodity hearing would take too long. he explained. Water carriers also want higher rates and will present their evidence after the railroads have finished, then shippers will be heard. The commissioners hope to complete taking evidence by the end of the week and be ready for oral argu- ments next Monday. The I. C. C. men hearing the evi- dence are Acting Chairman Clyde B. Aitchison, Charles D. Mahaffie and ‘Walter N. W. Splawn. The large class 1 railroads—those with an annual gross revenue of more than $1,000.000 each—are pre- senting their evidence through the Association of American Railroads. Rail carriers in class 2 and 3 are represented by the American Short Line Railroad Association. Approval of the increases as a necessary measure in the national | emergency was voted vesterday at an advance meeting of the National Industrial Traffic League, composed of traffic managers of large shippers and traffic representatives of various chambers of commerce.

It was understood that only final formalities remain to be cleared up before issuance of the order.

Top impost among the 90 thor- oughbreds eligible for the big event was assigned to Circle M Ranch's Big Pebble, last year's winner, by Racing Secretary and Handicapper Charles J. McLennan. However, it is regarded as certain that Big Pebble, weighted at 129, will not be entered. He had to be withdrawn from racing because of an injured tendon and has been shipped to Circle M's newly acquired Slickaway Farm, near Lexington, Ky., for stud pur- poses. Next behind Big Pebble in the weight allotments were Charles S. Howard's Mioland, with 128 pounds; W. L. Brann’s Challedon and Pictor, and Samuel D. Riddle’s War Relic, each with 126 pounds. Louis Tufano’s Market Wise and Mrs. Parker Corning's Attention each drew 125 pounds, Mr. Howard's Kayak 2nd, 123, and Woodvale Farm’s Our Boots, 121. Mioland, Challedon, Pictor and Kayak 2nd are in California, but if uncertainty continues to cloud the racing situation there it is believed possible that at least one will be brought here for the Widener. | Considerable Widener interest will center around four 4-year-olds—War Relic, Market Wise, Attention and Our Boots—each of which holds a decision over Warren Wright's famed Whirlaway.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5—The Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People was told at its annual meeting today that in- creasing militancy and unity of American Negroes in their demands for full equality in the life of the Nation was an outstanding and bright note in 1941. Walter White, secretary of the assocfation, said that “While the United States became the chief pro- ducer of instruments of war for democratic nations fighting against totalitarianism, and later a bel- liferent, American Negroes became more than ever united in their de- mands for fair and equal treatment in the war and other efforts.” Mr. White said one of the most important gains was President Roosevelt's executive order of last June 25 banning racial discrimina- tion in employment and job training for defense industry, and the es- | Fair Employment Practice. Mr. White's report deplored race clashes at Army camps and pro- tested Navy restrictions on service of Negroes in any except the mess division.

Army BY the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—Four men, including Kurt Prederick Ludwi 38-year-old American-born son of | German parents, and one woman pleaded innocent in Federal Court today conspiracy to violate the espionage law and were held in bail totaling $115,000 for trial January 14. Ludwig, reputed head of the spy ring: Rene C. Froelich, 31; Hans Helmut Pagel, 20, and Frederick Ed- ward Schlosser, 19, were each held in $25000 bail, and Mrs. Helen Pauline Mayer’'s former bail of $10,- 000 was {ncreased to $15,000. Information About Army. Judge Simon Rifkind asked Lud- wig if he understood the nature of the proceedings when he pleadeq innocent. “I understand nothing of the the United States.” Ludwig said. Ludwig was arrested near Seattle, Wash., last summer on charges of sending abroad information con- cerning the strength of the United States Army—specifically, that he sent out information on the dispo- sition, numerical strength and equip- ment of the Army. Executive Assistant United States Attorney John Sonnett asked that Mrs. Mayer’s bail be increased be- cause he had ascertained that her part in the alleged conspiracy was more serious than believed at first. Former U. S. Soldier. Froelich, formerly employed by a German news agency closed down by the Government, was an Army private at Governors Island when he was arrested last fall. Pagel was a brewery worker and Schlosser an apprentice machinist. Two other alleged members of the spy ring. Paul T. Borchardt, 55. and Carl Victor Mueller, 35, pleaded in- nocent to the indictment last week and were held in $25,000 bail each.
