Presidential Board Seeks Union Shop for Rail Workers
Washington reports the presidential emergency board urged railroads to accept a union shop clause and a mandatory dues checkoff in contracts with rail unions. The move would force non members to join and maintain dues, with potential dismissal for delinquency. About one million rail workers are represented by 17 unions, with 800,000 currently members. If adopted, the remaining 200,000 could be compelled to join or lose their jobs. Also today 4472 Army veterans from Korea arrived on the troopship Gen. M. C. Meigs, with the G. M. Ranfall bringing Seabees aboard the other troopship.
