NLRB Prohibits Non Unionists Part In Strike ! WASHINGTON I The Na. I tional Labor Relations Board to day voted 3-2 to prohibit an em ployer from insisting a union win prior approval from both union and nonunion employes before calling a strike. An NLRB majority held the Wooster, Ohio, division of Borg Warner Corp. failed to bargain in good faith by demanding contract clauses requiring an approving secret vote among alt its workers before the CIO United Auto Work ers could call a strike or seek contract changes. The ruling is contrary to a 1953 decision of the U.S. Court of Ap peals at Chicago. That court held employes could properly seek such clauses in labor contracts. In the Borg - Warner case the majority held that an employer's effort to have bargaining decis ions made by all employes amount ed to undermining the union's posi tion by dealing directly with work ers. 49,441 Families Suffered Losses In Huge Flood NEW YORK im The latest count by the American Red Cross shows that 49.441 families suffer ed losses in the Northeast floods of nearly two weeks ago.
