NLRB Forbids Firing of Foremen for UnionMemb

Supervisory
Not Recognized
Decision Results from
Striking in Detroit
Bythe Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 8.-The Na-
tional Labor Relations Board ruled
today that supervisory employes may
not be discharged or discriminated
against for membership in a fore-
men's union-but at the same time
it upheld a prior decision denying
recognition to such supervisory un-
ions.
The decision was handed down as
foremen in several Detroit plants
were on strike in protest against what
they termed delays by the NLRB and
the War Labor Board in handling
their cases.
Specifically, the NLRB ruling in-
volved- discharged foremen at the
Soss Manufacturing Company of De-
troit and Republic Steel Corporation
at Cleveland. The board handed the
cases to its regional boards in those
cities for further action.
Supervisory status in itself does
not remove an employe from the pro-
tection of the Labor Relations Act,
the Board declared. However, since
it does not recognize a foremen's
independent union as an appropriate
bargaining unit, the supervisory em-
ployes would find themselves depen-
dent entirely on voluntary bargaining
arrangements with the employer, a
Board spokesman said. The organized
foremen would have no recourse to
the board in enforcing terms of a
contract for example, the spokesman
explained. The foremen are merely
protected from discharge for union
activities.
Strikes Leave
Many Still Idle
DETROIT, May 8.-(')- Strikes
among production workers and fore-
men in more than a score of factories
in the Detroit area ;and in Windsor,
Ont., kept nearly 23,000 persons idle
tonight.
While efforts were continued to
settle the disputes that halted pro-
duction in the four Windsor plants
of the Ford Motor Co. of Canada and
two factories of the Kelsey-Hayes
Company in Detroit, a threat came
from the independent Foremen's As-
sociation of America to call out sev-
eral thousand foremen of three Ford
Motor Co. factories here.
Representatives of 9,000 , foremen
employed in the Ford Rouge, High-
land Park and Willow Run factories
asserted that lacking favorable action
by the company on demands for a
contract a walkout would start Tues-
day n'oon. Recognition of their asso-
ciation, the foremen's representatives
said, was the main issue.
At the Ford Company offices it was
said no statement would be made at
present.

of "Rumor Has It," Co. D's musical,

READY TO RETIRE:
Old Colonel Gets His Man After
Spending 39 Years in Army
By KENNETH L. DIXON
Associated Press Correspondents
WITH THE AEF IN ITALY, May
8.-Everybody around these parts is
wondering who the "Old Colonel"
really is but Army's rules about un-
authorized activities being what they
are, probably nobody will find out-
officially, that is.
It was the 45th Division News
which told the story about the "Old
Colonel" who had squatted behind
the rear echelon desk "through 39
years of army life and two world
wars" and who was about to be re-I
tired and sent home.
He'd never had any front line ac-
tion so when his time was about up
he pestered everybody to death to
transfer him to a line outfit for a
while. Instead, when they got tired
of hearing him squawk, they shifted
him to an ordinance battalion *still
far in the rear.
The ordinance men didn't know
his record so they innocently let
him go up on Anzio. He tried the
new rifle on the target range and
didn't like it, so he swapped it for a
Springfield '03, figuring he could
go back and report on the faults of
the sniper's rifle after he'd taken
care of his business.
It was raining and it was muddy
when he finished trying out- the
'03 on the rifle range but he never
stopped. He hitched a ride to a
front line batallion command post
and then headed down to a line
company. When they tried to talk
him out of his plan he pulled his
rank on them-so they grinned,
shrugged their shoulders and let
him go.
Through the darkness and storm
he followed the guide up the combat
line. There he got in a foxhole with
a sergeant.
It was about 6:30 in the morning
when the rising sun flashed for a
minute on a helmet that appeared on
the other side of no man's land. Then
it was dark again. It reappeared for
a quick look around.
The Old Qolonel carefully creak-
ed his old bones into a sitting po-
sition in the foxhole. The '03 laid
across the parapet in front of him,
he laid the stock against his griz-
zled cleek and drew a bead on the
spotwhere the helmet kept popping
up, and waited.
Finally the careless Kraut reared
up half out of his place of conceal-
ment. The Colonel centered the
sights and squeezed the trigger.
The sergeant said "scratch one
Kraut."
Union To Give Dance
The Union Record Dance will be
resumed Friday and the lounge will
be open until midnight instead of 10
p.m. Both servicemen and civilians
are invited for the evening.
China Medicail
Conditions Will
Be Discussed
The third Chinese symposium at
which medical conditions in China
will be discussed is scheduled for
7:30 p.m. today in the International
Center.
Dr. C. S. Huang of the department
of thoracic surgery at the University
Hospital will be the speaker. Born in
China and a graduate of the Peiping
Union Medical College, he has had
many years of medical experience in
China and expects to return there
after his work here is completed.
Dr. Charles L. Pannabecker of the
Department of Ophthalmology will
be guest chairman for the evening.
After 15 years of medical experience
in China, he returned to the United
States in September, 1941.
Chinese students and other inter-
ested in China are invited to attend
the symposium. Dr. Esson M. Gale,
director of the International Center,
said that because China presents so
many different medical problems, this
discussion would probably be of in-
terest to medical students on campus
as well.
