JUDGE ORDERS Teamsters' Units Told to Justify Picketing of Bowman Customers HEARING SET JULY 30 "Tove Toward Issuance of Injunction Eequetted D7 Regional By MARION PECK issued an order hr yesterday at the request of the National Labor Relatloiu Board to two union locals to appear In court July 30 to show cans why they should not be enjoined from picketing customers of the Bowman Transportation and inciting strikes among- employes of the customers. The show-cause orVler was Issued to Locals 515 and 12 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffers, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, (AFL). The unions were also ordered to file answers before July 28. Judse Darr's action was taken in behalf of John C. Getreu, regional NLRB director, In At-lanta.

Getreu's petition was filed in federal court here earlier yes- xeraay. The petition gives the following account of the alleged violations of the National Labor Relations Act by Locals 515 and 612: The Bowman Transportation Co, with headquarters In Gadsden, picks up and delivers freight to Bomerville Iron Works, E. I. du Pont de Nemours 4 Modern Way Laundry, O. B.

Andrews Co. and "other customers" in Chattanooga. Since Nov. 23, Local 515 and 612 have "demanded Bowman to recognize the locals as collective bargaining representatives of Bowman's employes, and that a collective bargaining agreement be negotiated with the locals covering Bowman Upon Bowman's "refusal to recognize and negotiate a contract," Locals 515 and 612 commenced picketing Bowman's Chattanooga terminal on Dec 1658, and "continue picketing to date." "At no time has there been labor dispute between Corner-villa, du Pont, Modern Way, Andrews or other Bowman customer, but tinea February 1954 th unions have picketed these customers," the petition says. Since May 10, Locals 515 and 612 have "ordered, Instructed, directed, requested and appealed to the employes of Andrews And other Bowman customers not to load or unload Bowman's trucks." By thetr picketing and "other conduct" they "Induced and encouraged the employes of Somer villa, du Pont, Modem Way, Andrews and their other supplier and truckers making deliveries" to them to engage In "strikes or concerted refusals ta use, manufacture, proceea, transport' or otherwise handle work or goods, articles, materials or commodi ties or to perform aervlces for their employers," ths charges continued.

The objectives of the union's conduct la said to be to "force Bowman customers to atop doing business with the firm" and to "force other suppliers and truck' er of materials to Bowman's customers to stop doing business with any customer of Bowman." The union offlcals alsa are attempting to "force" Bowman to recogniee or fearratn with the lorala as collective bargaining rpresntaUve of It mployes, "alihouth. neither local has been certified as representative of such employes la accordanca with the National Labor Relatione Act" The NLRB petitioned Usuance of the order for the locals to show cauae why they should not be en Kilned and restrained from such artlona, terming their Stoppage of Uie -violations" as hhuil arpropnaie. proper. rOR ESJUtllS BY ATTC0 A federal Jury here yealerdav awarded a Judgment of O.

The Tennessee Supremo Court, sustaining a lower court decision, ordered State Tax Commis sioner Z. D. Atkins to issue a license to Polsky to operate his Tip Top Liquor Store at 436 E. Ninth Chattanooga.

Polsky was denied a license by Atkins after the City Commission refused the store owner a certificate of good moral charac ter. Polsky once before was de nied a certificate by the Com mission only to be overruled by the then tax commissioner, V. Dickinson. The commission charged he operated after the legal closing hour and sold liquor to minors, but ths court ruled these charges were disposed of when Dickinson granted Polsky 1951 license. Other Derision Atkins, at his horns at Trenton, said ha was unsure when would return to Nashville and issue the license.

Polsky's store has been closed since the first of the year. Excerpts from other opinions by the court: Mwt Tula StaMal atlntna amine, klm aarilB a VHM Welel at AnwiWa kaM ta inwt for araewt ia eatiual Ua. Th 'lu af UiM trH mr to aaahlnrttM). O.C. Th (earta Teaa.
