2 HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH, Tuesday, May 16. 1944 Democrats Show Strength in Favor Of Fourth Term By Associated Press California and New Jersey Dem ocrats produced the voting where withal for a fourth term nomination for President Roosevelt today as Republicans of the two states divided their public allegiance between Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, and Gov. Earl warren of California.

Dewey, the leading Republican prospect despite his disavowal of candidacy, apparently was assured of the support of all of New Jersey's 35 convention delegates chosen in a primary there today. Gov. Walter E. Edge said an unpledged slate would "push" for Dewey's nomination and 13 opposi tion candidates were openly sup porting the New York Governor. The action of the Californians in pledging the support of their 50 delegates, to Warren, who says he is not seeking any Federal office, made it seem unlikely that any candidate can amass an unchal lenged majority of the GOP con vention's 1059 delegates without some political trading with un mstructed groups thus far repre senting 401 votes.

Leaving only 173 additional to be named.

Company's Action Against Strikers Upheld by WLB Washington, May 16, OP). The War Labor Board upheld today management's right to dis cipline employes who strike in violation of contract.

The WLB reversed its Detroit Regional Board, which had or dered the Norge' Machine Prod ucts Division of the Borg War ner Corporation, Muskegon, to reinstate 41 former employes with seniority rights, but without back pay. WLB labor mem bers dissented. A local union of the AFL Automobile Workers had asked the discharge of a piecework employe, protesting among other things his high rate of production. Before the grievance machinery of the contract had run its course, a group of workers struck. The management had warned the employes that if they left their jobs they would be regarded as having quit.

It carried out this policy by striking 41 from the payroll. Then the whole plant was struck for a month. Commented Vice Chairman George W. Taylor of the WLB "When the employes in this case struck in violation of the agreement they subjected themselves to discipline by management. To say that management has no right to impose discipline in such a case would impose an insuperable obstacle in the way of management's performance of its essential function." The board said any of the 41 employes individually may apply to the company within 15 days for reinstatement as new employes, or on any basis the company may determine.

The company was not directed to rehire anyone. Discussing the unions demand of the discharge of an employe, Dr. Taylor said, "the assumption of such a role by the union not only shows a lack of understanding of the function of the grievance procedure, but is also in marked contrast to the usual union position of opposition to the exercise of the harsh penalty of discharge except under un usual circumstances."
