ON SPOT that far overshadows the testi- mony previously given in company unions of the International Harvester company the model for all others. In that case the labor board ordered the company unions disbanded. And while there will be additional testimony early in January and the company will have a chance to present its case, observers here see little else for the board to do but order company unions in steel dissolved. Elmer J. Maloy, of the Dequesne works, Carnegie - Illinois, on the stand for two days, showed how the company union plan had been imposed on the workmen. He read a letter signed by I. Lamont Hughes, former president of the steel concern, dated June 7, 1933. in which management announced it was installing the plan. WASHINGTON (UNS) With records and testimony, the story of the imposition of company unions and their complete domination by the management of Carnegie-Illi-noi- s Steel Corporation and U. S. Steel, has been laid before the National Labor Relations Board. Only three workmen took the stand, supplemented by testimony of Philip Murray, chairman of the Steel Workers Organizing ComThe noisemakers while eating mittee, in the first three days of the hearing.
