Gh’town Armourics 0n Defence List

UITAWA. April ill-Special)- Tnlbrvvemcnt or reconstruction of Prince Edward Island's ermouries is one of the projects to he rc- tnincd on the Defence Depart- ment's armouries program, thc Guardian was informed ove the \veck~'end."l‘hls' project. first’ isted upwards of a year ago, has been delayed along with other proposed drill-hull construction o\ving to tbc rotiuiry-wide housing shortage.

A Defence Department spokes- man admitted that no sum for improvement, repairs or recon- struction of armouries had been

incorporated in the parliamentary estimates for 1947. "That is not significant,’ he

laid, "It is true that there can- not be a, vote fc-r armouries this year, but our program remains in- tact and has been approved de- parimentnlly. Incidentally, Prince Erlward Island is not forgotten. But until building materials come into abundant supply and the housing crisis is overcome. the projects must be left in sbeyance."

0n U. S. Labor Bills

(By Max llaii)

WASHINGTON, April iii-LAP)- C.I.0_ president Philip Murray to. day assailed the two big labor m“; bending in Congress as “the first real step toward the development of fascism in the United States."

His speech sounded the keynote for a country-wide drive in which the C.I.'O. with its 6,000,000 mem- bers. wi-ll fight the measures by radio broadcasts, newspaper ad- vertisements. visits and telegrams to Congressmen, leaflets, petitions, plant meetings and other means.

The drive was launched as the 198151611011 reached the action "489 in the Republican-controlled Conzress. The House of Represen- tetivcs starts debate Tuesday with passage expected Friday. The Sen- ate labor comml-ttee plans to fin- ish work on its bill tomorrow.

Addressing a rally of 250 C.LO_ leaders from all o-ver the country, Murray said the 0.1.0. expressed its attitude toward Communism at its Atlantic City convention last November.

The 0.1.0. convention delegates approved a policy statement s6)’- lng they "resent and reject" Coir.- munist efforts to interfere in trade union affairs.

Murray lashed the House and Senate hills as “designerl" to:

“Completely cripple labor";

“Destroy the Wagner Act“;

“Create confusion and industrial disturbances";

“Create a system of totalitarian- ism equivalent to that. which has prevailed in other countries."

‘ owgressmen supporting the hills

e denied these lcharges, They say the bflils are not “punitivc" or "repressive" but, are designed to eliminate "abuses", "equalize" vol- lective bargaining and protect the public.

The House bi-li as approved by the labor committee would outlaw.’ the closed shop but permit the union shop. prohibit certain indus- try-wide bargaining, provide for court injunctions to block serious strikes, abolish the National Ln- bor Relations Board and the Unitrd States conciliation service and re- place them with other bodies, and do many other things.

The milder Senate bill, ivhirh Murray called the "Taft-Ball bill." has not yet been completely rc- vlewed by the Senator Labor Com- rrfittee of which Senators Robert Taft (Rep. Ohio») and Joseph Bail (Rep. Minn.) are members.

The 0.1.0. speakers made little distinction between the two bills.

The bills as approved by the committees prohibit the closed shop, under which an employer cannot hire non-union men, but they both permit-under certam C0lldi0l0l1S——thB more common "un- ion shim"

This arrangement allows an em- ployer to hire non-union men but they must join the union after being hired. '

Injured When Gar Grashcs Into Train

OHATHAM. N.B.. April 14- (GP) - Swerving on the ice-coated highway at Renous Crossing early Saturday night. a oar crashed into the side of a C.N.R. freight train and -was totally wrecked. The driver (not a passenger were taken to hospital tn Chatham with severe Lrijuries.

Believed to have been travelling slowly "over the treacherous road. the car. driven by Allan Douinelly, 43. Dos-blown. skidded out of con- troi u it approached the crossing and crashed head-on into the train;

RiPWd along the freight cars, the vehicl; was destroyed. Don- nclly and the passenger, 17-year- old Elva. Storey. also of Doaktown were thrown to the frozen ground.

Safety Shutdown Of U. S. Coal Mines Ends

WABHINCHDN. April 18-011?)- John L. Lewis‘ safety shutdown of United States soft coal mines was ended and the miners were ready today to go beck to work but the threat of e full-fledged strike June so hung heavier.

Lewis’ sudden about-face late Saturday, permitting union district presidents to send the miners back at each mine "where there is reas- onable ground to believe" it. is safe. enables the men who were idle to collect pay cheques agaiir Thus they would be i-n better shape to afford a walkout over contract

n.

The two-week safety shutdown, even though incomplete, depleted coel-rtoclu-possibly as much as ILMOMIO tolls. Thus the impact of a stpPDlIe Juno S0 would be lhlt much greater.

That ll the date when the Gov- ernmIrt must turn the mines bu: to private ownership unless Congress should make other provis- ion, which now seems unlikely.

no progress bu been made to- ward bringing Lewis and the vim‘- aton together on s contract to re- place the, Krill-int: pact. If

anything. they have split farther fllwrt duritil Lewis‘ safety cem- Pllbh. with spokesmen for the operators ’ aual it and! im- pumnlnx Lewis‘ motives for it.

The court order which thwarts the United Mine Workers tradition of "no contract, no work" for the duration of government operation apparently would not apply to ‘a strike utter the mines are restor- ed to private hands.

The only barrier in light now is labor legislation on which 0on- [recs is working. Whether it will be enacted by June I0, and whether it will include m its final form strictures against Lewis‘ activities, is uncertain. »

Lewis quietly celled olf the sar- ety shutdown Saturday. Previous- ly be bee! held out against re- opening any mine before it was examined by a federal actor. This might have taken mon ‘ s.

Lewis himself continued silent. on the move, n did his associates bere_
