Jones, president of ¢t° California Gas and Electric Employees Union. “We include all P. G: & E. emplovees for two sense reasons,”’ Jones said. “Fi e Wagner Act takes in eaptoves: whether physical or clerical worker, and whether male or female. Second, if the NLRB had obeyed, the mandate given it two months ago by a rousing majority of P. G. & E. physical workers, instead of lending credence to more ridiculous charges made by the CIO, the California Gas and Electric Employees Union would been recognized as bargaining agent for office workers as well as physieal forces. “We are corfident such recognition should have come, without employees being put to the trouble, and taxpayers being put to the expense, of a Labor Board election, because we know. that California Gas and Electric Employees Union membership ‘includes an overwhelming majority of all workers. It is the inory the of 1é st, the scope of t} every over have the tent of the Wagner Act, that a majority. when officially established— wich has been done—should be designated as bargaining agent. “We doubt if there P. G. & E. office workers belonging to the CIO. Therefore, if the National Labor Relations Board contemplates calling another election it would simply be a waste of taxpaymoney Incidentally, we wonder how many thousands of dollars were squandered in conducting the election among. physical workers, in spite of tre fact that we rereatedly assured the Labor Board that, it could be proven California Gas and Electric Employees Union included 3?

Parade Unite Against Communist Invasion Approximately 125 automobiles, day evening demonstrated the united front of Nevada Cit The Nevada City contingent of cars met with ley against communism. 375 men, on Satury and Grass Val. carrying about Grass Valley cars in the latter city and together they returned to Nevada City and passed through Commercial up Pine to Broad and up Broad to the gore where the procession doubled on itself and started déwn Broad street. The parade was nearly two miles long. Included in it were men irom every walk of life. Hand bills were passed out as the procession passcd through the twin cities. The hand bills, signed president of the Mine Workers Protective League, by Olnéy Donnelly, read as follows: TRUE VOICE OF THE MINERS The Mine Workers’ Protective League protests the intimation on the part of anonymous writers of scurrilous handbills, secretly . distributed. to the effect that the law. abiding citizens of these communities intend to “frame” some member of the CIO affiliate. Stance of ‘beating up’ which has occurred was that of Leonard J. The only publicly known inHichoff, a Murchie miner and member of this League, by Clyde Dougherty, a member of the CIO . affiliate. Doughtrey was convicted and is now serving a jail sentence. The Mine Workers’: Protective tion. of all citizens and the enforcement of the law. The polic League heartily endorses the action taken“by Sheriff Tobiassen and the county peace officers for ‘th protecy of intimidation and incitation to violence followed by the CIO affiliate. is repugnant and abhorrent to all citizens who believe that the law should be enforced,, i The Mine Workers’ Protective League especially resents the attempt ot the CIO organizations in California to influence the Superior Court by sending thousands of signed postals from Nevada cto County mass meetings, to Justice of the Peace Walter Mobley and to Superior Judge Raglan Tuttle. We denounce this practice as a violation of law in itself, and as an attempt to intimidate the Courts. We deplore the suggestion that there. is any intimation of vigilanteism in the common. demand that the law shall be enforced. If there should will rest squarely on the shoulders of those who, by intimidating and coercing the piiners of this district to join them, have themselves invited reprisals.

agents, and the rule-or-ruin tactics the CIO, according to Gordon T. Jones, president of ¢t° California Gas and Electric Employees Union. “We include all P. G: & E. emplovees for two sense reasons,”’ Jones said. “Fi e Wagner Act takes in eaptoves: whether physical or clerical worker, and whether male or female. Second, if the NLRB had obeyed, the mandate given it two months ago by a rousing majority of P. G. & E. physical workers, instead of lending credence to more ridiculous charges made by the CIO, the California Gas and Electric Employees Union would been recognized as bargaining agent for office workers as well as physieal forces. “We are corfident such recognition should have come, without employees being put to the trouble, and taxpayers being put to the expense, of a Labor Board election, because we know. that California Gas and Electric Employees Union membership ‘includes an overwhelming majority of all workers. It is the inory the of 1é st, the scope of t} every over have the tent of the Wagner Act, that a majority. when officially established— wich has been done—should be designated as bargaining agent. “We doubt if there P. G. & E. office workers belonging to the CIO. Therefore, if the National Labor Relations Board contemplates calling another election it would simply be a waste of taxpaymoney Incidentally, we wonder how many thousands of dollars were squandered in conducting the election among. physical workers, in spite of tre fact that we rereatedly assured the Labor Board that, it could be proven California Gas and Electric Employees Union included 3?

The parade was nearly two miles long. Included in it were men irom every walk of life. Hand bills were passed out as the procession passcd through the twin cities. The hand bills, signed president of the Mine Workers Protective League, by Olnéy Donnelly, read as follows: TRUE VOICE OF THE MINERS The Mine Workers’ Protective League protests the intimation on the part of anonymous writers of scurrilous handbills, secretly . distributed. to the effect that the law. abiding citizens of these communities intend to “frame” some member of the CIO affiliate.

The polic League heartily endorses the action taken“by Sheriff Tobiassen and the county peace officers for ‘th protecy of intimidation and incitation to violence followed by the CIO affiliate. is repugnant and abhorrent to all citizens who believe that the law should be enforced,, i The Mine Workers’ Protective League especially resents the attempt ot the CIO organizations in California to influence the Superior Court by sending thousands of signed postals from Nevada cto County mass meetings, to Justice of the Peace Walter Mobley and to Superior Judge Raglan Tuttle. We denounce this practice as a violation of law in itself, and as an attempt to intimidate the Courts. We deplore the suggestion that there. is any intimation of vigilanteism in the common. demand that the law shall be enforced. If there should will rest squarely on the shoulders of those who, by intimidating and coercing the piiners of this district to join them, have themselves invited reprisals.
