Aug. 18 UP) The National Labor Relations Board today refused a company request for postponement and opened its hearing on charges that the Weirton Steel Company used "terrorism" to oppose the steel workers organizing committee. Attorney William Z.

Fay, counsel for the company, asked the delay for further investigation of the union's charges. More than 200 husky men of the mills crowding into the vine-covered court house, heard John W. Porter, board attorney, declare that: Weirton Steel, largest unit In the National Steel Corporation headed by Ernest T. Weir, had dominated its employes. The company fostered and maintained two employe organizations.

The company discriminated against some employes. Edward Grandison Smith of Clarksburg, W. president of the governors of West Virginia University, presided as trial examiner. Smith overruled a motion by At torney Clyde A. Armstrong, for the company, to exclude from the record reports of National Steel by which the board proposed to show that the steel company was engaged In Inter state commerce.

"Now is not the time for the respondent to submit its case," commented Smith. The company in its denial of the charges last week declared the board did not have jurisdiction because Weirton Steel was not in an Interstate business.

A majority of the district leaders now Is committed to support the Mayor for renominatlon. On the other hand, a strong minority faction ot leaders has gone over to Senator Roya! 8. Copeland, the Tammany designee for Mayor, and Is determined to carry the Brooklyn primary in his behalf.

Mayor and Dewey Confer Dewey spent 45 minutes in conferences this afternoon with Mayor LaGuardia in City Hall. He would make no announcement of the outcome of his talk with the Mayor and Indicated that anything to be said concerning their meetings would have to come from the irfayor himself. Dewey said he would take a two Weeks' vacation on a schooner belonging to a friend and did not expect to keep in touch with political developments during his absence. The Mayor and Dewey were photographed together. Meanwhile, Charles O.

Bond, taking over management of the Republican primary campaign in Brooklyn for Senator Copeland, in whose favor he withdrew his own candidacy, announced that opposition leaders and coleaders would be named in every Republican district where the present chieftains were committed to support Mayor LaGuardia for renominatlon in the primaries. Petitions Attacked The petitions designating Mayor LaGuardia to run in the Republican primary were attacked in the Board of Elections by S. J. Beckerman, a Copeland supporter. Beckerman told the Board of Elections the petitions were defective.

Signatures originally written in pencil were traced over with ink, he said. He registered a number of other objections. Subsequently Beckerman telephoned The Eagle and said that a woman Republican's name appeared as the subscribing witness to 1,500 signatures from the 6th A. D. He said the dates indicated all the signatures had been obtained In four days.

"As an expert, I say It is impossible for any one individual to db-taln more than 35 legitimate signatures in a single day," he said, Hastings Hits cfcarfe Taking a slap at Dewey's charge that al alliance has existed between the underworld and certain elements of Tammany Hall, Assistant District Attorney Harold W. Hastings, Tammany designee against Dewey, said: "I know of no such alliance. It Is part of Dewey's Job to get to the bottom of such an alliance and to prosecute. If he knows anything which he has not revealed, then he is not a prosecutor, but a politician." Hastings announced that Former District Attorney Joab Banton would be his campaign manager. Thus far, except for his declaration that he would accept the Republican nomination if It came to him.

the Mayor has made no statement. Before Dewey himself agreed to enter the campaign, however, it is believed he received assurances that the Mayor would make a real fight to prevent the G. O. P. nomination for Mayor from going to Senator Copeland almost by default.

Labor Backs Dewey Meanwhile, Dewey himself was assured of American Labor Party support, despite some feeling of hostility toward his investigation by a number of union labor leaders. "Labor has everything to gain and nothing to lose from honest and efficient, law enforcement," said Alex Rose, executive secretary of the American Labor Party. "Mr. Dewey's acceptance of the candidacy for District Attorney of New York County will, following his election, infuse this office with dignity and dynamic zeal, and will effectively destroy the link which exists be tween Tammany Hall and the un derworld."
