Dear S i r and Brother:
During the past two months we have been
n e g o t i a t i n g for a new contract with the J . p. Manning
Company of Boston.
During a l l of the conferences
that we have had, the Company refuses to give us an
increase.
We have been before the State Board of
Conciliation and Arbitration and have agreed to arbitrate
the question in d i s p u t e , andthe Company has refused.
Last year when we organized these men, we had a strike
that lasted twelve weeks, and we do not want to go through
it again.
this
W i l l you kindly inform me how to proceed on
matter.
An early reply w i l l be greatly
Fraternally
appreciated.
youra,

These 95 men do not desire to i,tay as members of the
ailwa^ clerks ^rothHrhnnj and have sent their resignations
to the âilEoy Clerk3 Brotherhood's headquarters in Cincinnati
stating that they have resigned fron membership in the clerks
organization.
Local 646 tried to get some results from the
Company having 95 nen and the Clerks only 5 men.

Organizer
For your information, we were contacted recently by an
o r g a n i z a t i o n , New England Rendering Company, a subsidiary of Swift
& Company, in regards to organizing the men in this p l a n t .
A meeting
was called f o r the purpose of o r g a n i z i n g .
At the time of this meeting,
there were representatives of the Machinists U n i o n , Amalgamated Meat
Cutters, Teamsters' Local #25 and Teamsters' Local # 6 ^ 6 .
At the time
of this meeting, Teamsters' Local #25 said that the truck drivers cam?
under their j u r i s d i c t i o n and should po into their o r g a n i z a t i o n .
We
contended that the men should be with u s , and this was settled between
representatives of both teamsters' u n i o n s .
We then contended that the
inside employees who do warehouse and laboring work belong to our organi z a t i o n , excluding from this group machinists and maintenance men which
the M a c h i n i s t s ' Union claims and which there is no dispute on our p a r t .
A dispute then arose between our organization and the meat
cutters in regards to the inside employees.
We told the Meat C u t t e r s '
Organization that we did not want any meat cutters or any men engaged in
slaughtering work and were only interested in warehouse men and men doing
laboring worlt. At this meeting, there was present four business agents
from a local of the Meat Cutters and also an International Representative.
A f t e r talking the matter over in the hall amongst c u r a t i v e s , the Representatives of the Meat Cutters agreed that a l l these men would go into our
organization with the exception of the meat o^tters and that we would not
hear from the Meat Cutters Organization again in regards to this matter.

Mr.
September 1 2 ,
Jennings:
19^2
For the past two years, we have under contract two Large
companies in the Boston area doing this t y e of work.
At the time
of the organization of these men, we called in a representatives of
the Meat Cutters to take these men, and the men refused to join
the Meat Cutters' Organization t e l l i n g us at that time that they
would prefer to j o i n the C. I . 0 . rather than j o i n the Meat Cutters'
Organization.
At the time of the organization of both of these
plants, which we now have under contract, there was a strike which
lasted three weeks.
The C. I . 0 . tried to organize these companies,
but we succeeded in getting the men into
our organization.
We f e e l where we have this type of work organized that the
men belong to the j u r i s d i c t i o n of the Teamsters' and not the Amalgamated
Meat C u t t e r s .

Hie Company states the v^ges r.cw paid to Yarehousomen^ Truckdrivera,
and Porters aro above area re tee, but i f i t is found that they are below,,
i t is willing to make any necessary adjustment* An increase of 5 / an hour
was offered but turned <lown by the Union^
Discussjor !
The Company offered five ( 5 ) dollart per week to t;he r river-Sf-lesmsn
and 5 / per hour to the other employees involved-.
The Company rightfully
objects to any change in i t s method of compensation whioh is tho sane
throughout the country for Driver* Sf-lesmrn?
Cain and Lest are not quite comparable for method of âge payment because
according to the Company, i t conduct* expensive selling campaigns and thus
carries a great deal of the soiling effort I t s e l f
Catn and Bast do not
operate in the same manner and tho salesman is forced to carry a larger part
of the s e l l i n g burdon himself*
Therefore, as the Company has offered to
increase the compensation Cb.OC per woa^ the Panel will so recommend as
rationing of butter and oheesos have out the sales of the products making
i t necessary fcr salesr*tn to work harder selling specialty products.
Since no information was available as to rates for 77arehousemen, Truckdrivers,, and Porters, the Panel was forood to consider the question on the
basis of intra-plant inequities primarily.
If Driver-fTaletmen receive an
inereaso of , 5 : 0 0 per wiek, these employee should receive the 5% per hour
offered by the Company
In accordance with hoard policy the inoreasea recunmended should be
retroactive to March 4 , 19<4. the e.tpira'ion rlate of the old contrwot..

STATZLJNT OF NATIONAL
L..30H BOARD CO.C .^MIHl
A ? ? 2 . L S PROM 0RD1RS OF R E T )NAL BOARDS AND CO'. I SSI OH 3
The National
ar Labor Board desires to call to the attention of companies and unions the d e s i r a b i l i t y of refraining from
f i l i n g appeals to th National Board unless they are thoroughly
convinced that the order of the Regional Board or commission is
defective under the p o l i c i e s laid down by the National Beard.
The appeals procedure unanimously adopted by the national Board
orovides that appeals w i l l only be considered on a clear showing
that:
1 . The order exceeds the Board's j u r i s d i c t i o n , or
- 2*. The order contravenes the eeta li^hed p o l i c i e s
of the Board, or
3 . A novel question i s ^nvolvjd of cuch importance
as to ---arrant national action, or
4 . The procedure r o s u l t i r j in the T d ; r wes unfair
to the p e t i t i o n j r , and has caused substantial
hardship.
The statistics on th^ disposition of aopeals in recent
months by the National Board demonstrates rather conclusively
that a very lar ,e number of appeals hav^ been f i l e d needlessly
by both comâni^s and unions.
Ov;-r 00 percent of the a n e a l s
f i l e d thus f a r by companies and unions have been denied.
In
most of t h e s . cases, the National Board ..as found that there
were no genuine grounds for appeal, but that the party aipcaling
was merely d i s s a t i s f i e d with the ore^r in the case a n ! was sêkinn a review of the merits without adequately considering
wheth.r he could establish one of th
p rmissible grounds for
review.
I n some of t h : cases, the râl ground on which th.
app .al was based appeared to ba a lack of understanding as to
the exact meaning of the ûgional Board's order '..mch could
and should havj been cleered up by consultation with th
Regional
Board rath,r than by an app al to the Nail nal 3oard.
i'nl^s: t' r is a r al basis for an app a l , i t s f i l m roly delays the f i n a l s^ttl-mcnt of the controv
ay.
ts
a matter of common knowledge- that u . n e c . s s s r y d . l a y i in th^

Dear Sir and Brother:
I am asking for a Strike Sanction which
involves about 120 people with the companies listed
below:
Armour and Company of Boston, Massachusetts
Swift and Company, Clinton H o l l i s Market of Boston,
Metropolitan Hotel Supply Company of Boston, Mass.
Mass.
I have been negotiating with these companies
for some time and have failed to come to an agreement.
On Wednesday, Maroh 1 2 , 1 9 4 7 , our Local Union received
the approval of Joint Council No. 10 for a strike
sanction.
In compliance with the Smith-Connally Act,
I have n o t i f i e d Secretary of Labor, Mr. Lewis Schwellenbach
and the cases of these three companies have been recorded
in Washington.
The 50-dsv waiting period was up Maroh 1 2 ,
1947.
Hoping the International will grant me this
sanction, although I w i l l do my best to settle these cases
peacefully without having to resort to a stoppage of work.
eternally yours,
oaeph L . Hope

I am asking for a Strike Sanction which involves
about 13 people, who are employee at the Schuler Foods,
Incorporated of Cambridge and Avon, Massachusetts.
I have been negotiating with this company for
some time and have f a i l e d to come to an agreement.
On September 8 , 1 9 4 8 , our Local Union received the
approval of Joint Council Ko. 10 for a strike
sanction.
Our Local Un!on has also complied with a l l
Federal and State Laws, as well as a l l contract and
constitutional provisions.
Hoping the International w i l l rrant me this
Sanction, although I w i l l do my best to settle this
case peacefully, without having to resort to a
s t o p p a e of work.
