GAR Commander
Passes The Word
SEATTLE, Oct. 20 M) The
new commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic, 99-ycar-old
Hiram R. Gale, wants it
known that the 149 veterans of
the Civil War still alive are
capable of directing their own
organization, ,
Gale returned from the na
tional convention at Columbus,
Ohio, lust night a little put out
by an article appearing in a na
tional magazine.., ;
."They say the women are
running the GAR to suit them
selves and it doesn't mean much
to be a national commander,"
Galo said. "Well; I say the
women can run the auxiliary
and I'll run the GAR."

Aug. 21, 1944.
His reinstatement now' would
pose two problems:
1. If he is not accepted in the
AFL union, a non-member would
be working in a plant with a
dosed shop contract. 1
2. To prevent similar occur
rences, a company would be ob
liged to investigate union deci
sions a power employers do not
have.
Kenneth Davis, executive sec
retary of the AFL northwestern
council of lumber and sawmill
workers, declared we will fight
this decision in all of the higher
courts, for it would destroy the
'union shon clause' in all of our
contracts if allowed to stand .
as a first step, the case will be
appealed to the circuit court of
appeals.
union contract
Portland lumber mill's con
tract requires it to "release from
its employ any person, upon for
mal demand from the union, who
falls or refuses to maintain mem
bership in good standing in the
union. -
The NLRB held that, despite
this proviso, .Wilmarth's dis
charge was discrimination
against .the CIO in that it pre
vented workers from seeking a
change in collective bargaining
representatives at election time.
The board ruled that the com
pany should- have ascertained
"the illegal purpose behind the
demand" of the union for his dis
charge. Company attorneys contended
that they have no way .of know
ing why a union demand is made,
since union records are not
available to them.
