In what is billed As an unprecedented move the plumbers and pipe fitters Union recommended elimination of the traditional closed shop in the building trades.

Although contracts calling for exclusive hiring of Union members were outlawed in 1947 by the Taft Hartley act the practice has continued in the building trades Fornall practical purposes. Norb warning the Norb recently announced it would crack Down hard on unions or employers engaged in closed shop practices it said heavy Finan Cial penalties would be imposed for violations. A separate decision outlawed Union run hiring Halls which discriminated against non members. The two decisions jolted the building trades. The unions involved generally decided to re Vise their procedures rather than risk costly penalties. The plumbers recommended that unions refer men to jobs on the basis of experience in the Craft and seniority with employers. In All five hiring plans were suggested. One or All of them May set a pattern for the other build ing trades unions faced with the same problems. Martin f. O Donoghue general counsel for the plumbers drafted the plans after consulting with attorneys for employer groups. He said he believed they would be found Legal if tested in court or before the Norb. 5-year basis the plumbers Basic recommendation was that contracts with management be so written that Only journeymen with at least five years experience be eligible to work on jobs covered by the agree ment.

Dogs smoke for cancer Experiment St. Paul Minn. A cig Aret smoking dogs Are being used Here in a lung cancer research Experiment a doctor has reported. Only one lung gets the cig Aret smoke. If the smoke causes harm or. Samuel Hunter explained it should show up Only on the one smoking lung. While Hunter said he. Was excited about prospects of the tests he added it was far too Early to know what conclusions May be reached. He said the experiments which began in August have real  the tests Are being conducted at St. Joseph s hos Pital where Hunter is director of research. He also is on the University of Minnesota faculty As assist ant professor of surgery. While dogs Seldom have lung cancer they do not smoke Cigar ets either. The St. Paul surgeon feels that if smoke is harmful it May cause changes in the lining of the dog s smoking lung. The big problem thus far has been in perfecting the techniques. Surgery on the dogs to enable the experiments is so drastic the dogs have died of pneumonia in a few weeks. Hunter said he now believes he has the answer to that. Instead of doing the surgery in one Day it will be done Over a period of several  be used for the experiments dogs must be Given an additional Windpipe. They breathe normally through one the nonsmoking lung. The other wind pipe is led out from the second lung to a one Way valve and a cig Aret. When the animal breathes smoke is inhaled into that  seems to me this is the Only Way of getting an answer As to whether smoking causes lung can cer Hunter said. With one lung smoking and the other not smoking we should learn a  Hunter reported on the experiments at a meeting of the Minnesota surgical society
