The Utah Metal Trades Council (AFL) filed objections Monday to an election held recently to determine a collective bargaining agency for the Utah Copper Company at its Magna-Ar-thmills, according to information released by the national labor relations board A representative for the board said an investigation of the objections was now being made. Two decisions may be made the board may declare the objections unsound or declare them sound and order a new election. H. A Peterson, general representative, --AFL, said the union specifically charged Utah Copper with unfair labor practices, intimidation and coercion in the election. However, D. D.

The answer is given to H. Claude Anderson, chairman of the local board, by James L. Purvis, OPA food rationing representative. Canada is off meat rationing because all ports except Halifax were frozen: supplies backed up and spoilage threatened. Mr. Purvis exContinuing, plained that although meat supplies are larger than expected by the War Food Administration and the OPA they do not warrant taking meat off the ration program. Present meat supplies 1 are up to the demand but not up to the demand of 1941. The greatest strain comes from increased consumer purchasing power. At a recent press conference, W. O. Fraser, of the Meat Board in Washington, remarked that rationing of meat is necessary in order to assure supplies for our armed forces and allies. Every citizen must have a chance to get his fair share of the unwas established proceedure der which there followed 20 full civilian meat supply. Our study also indicated that there just nt years of unparalleled isnt enough meat to take care of understanding. Several years ago charges unrationod buying by civilians were brought before the NLRB and at the same time take care of our military needs. by organizers for a national union alleging that certain practices of the company were unfair labor acts. The same national has now been certified by the NLRB....Some of that unions first demands upon the company now seek to obtain some of the very practices which they previously said were unfair labor acts."
