many from military to civilian ■

During the war, he had been as
sistant secretary of the war (army)
department, where he picked up
experience bearing on both the
bank job and his new German post
by handling lend-lease, military
government and state department
liaison for the army.
The White House said that Me- j
Cloy will serve as military gov-1
ernor of the United States occu- *
pied zone of Germany pending the
shift to civilian government.

Farrington Asks
Railway Labor Act
For Territories
<{£*) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (A*) — Delegate
Farrington (R.-Hawaii) introduced
yesterday a bill to extend the rail
way labor act to cover water
transportation between the U. S.
mainland and the Territories and
possessions.
Farrington said the legislation
was requested in a resolution
adopted by the Hawaiian Territo
rial legislature and approved by
Gov. I. M. Stainback.
The Territory, isolated for 95
days by a shipping strike last
year, faces another tieup because
of a labor dispute involving dock
workers in Hawaii.
Farrington said the-railway la
bor act, originally passed in 1926,
was amended in 1936 to cover air
transportation.
He told reporters he will press
for early committee action on the
proposed further extension to
shipping.
Under the railway labor act, the
services of a federal mediation
board are made available when
normal collective bargaining fails.
The law further provides that ar
bitration be offered in the event
mediation fails. If arbitration is
refused, provision is made for an
emergency fact-finding board, se
lected by the President, and a
cooling-off period.

The union was assessed $750,000

of picketing the company’s mill in
a jurisdictional dispute with the
i n t ernational woodworkers of
America. Atty. William Paul, Jr.,
filed the motion, which will be set
for argument Friday.
