Glamour Replaced
By Pie in the Face

While the he-men stars of Holly
wood have been pointing with
pride to their present abundance of
strenuous movie roles, the ladies of
the screen are viewing with alarm
the same trend in their own field.
1t is beginning to appear necessary
for heroine to be able to take it
and to register no protests if she
looks tattered and torn.
Perhaps it was Wendy Hitler In
'Pygmalion" who started that SLOW
emily appearance or it might have
been Alice Faye taking pie in the
face for Hollywood Cavalcade. "
Trends are difficult to trace, but
they soon become too apparent to
overlook. Currently q half-dozen
famous glamour girls are being
messed up considerably.

election take place.
On March 10 such election did take
place and in the contest our local
union won out by vote of 1,125 to
733 for the C. l. o.
Following the usual procedure, the
Labor Board then certified our local
union as the sole collective bargain
ing agency, and agreement negotia-
tions were safely commenced which
terminated in the manner above de-
scribed. There are between 2,400 and
5000 employees involved.
AS a result of negotiations, it was
agreed that copies of the agreement
be posted in each department of the
plant, in lieu Of past notices to the
effect that workers as condition of
employment were not required to join
any union.
Large Hershey Local Predicted
The psychological effect of this pro-
vision should result in initiating an
intensive and renewed organizing
campaign on the part of Local AGA to
establish permanent membership be-
tween 1000 and 5000. We wish our
local successful continuation Of such
organizational work.
Our Local 464 is managed by a
splendid staff of local officers, con-
scientiously desirous of making good
in their new-found responsibilities for
the purpose Of solidifying and con-
solidating their ranks still further for
the purpose of improving conditions of
the workers, and above all demonstrat-
ing to management that the purpose
Of a union is not alone to serve it's
membership but to also serve by MAX
ing its contribution towards stable,
well-paid and profitable industry,
which is so sorely needed at this time
in the candy and chocolate industry.
All during the past organizing eff
forts and negotiation period, the sim
cere and responsible leadership of Lo-
cal AGA readily saw and followed ad-
vice from the International Union, and
it is admitted that the international
Union and it's officers and representa-
tives were extraordinarily helpful.
The International executive officers
want to express their sincere thanks
to all those whose whole-hearted CO.
operation made this victory possible.
Due acknowledgment is also made of
the fair-minded attitude with which
management approached all questions
during discussions entered into.
1t is now to be hoped that these
accomplishments will fix the beacon
light for all helpless and unorganized
candy and chocolate workers through
out the country. When they forge
ahead, see the light, and their organ
ization, too, has been accomplished
then indeed will we have the right to
acclaim success.

president, secretary-treasurer and gen.

himself, whole the Union was repre-
sented by it's own negotiating COM
mittee; participated in also by the In
ternational field representative of that
territory, under supervision of the
writer, latter occasionally participat-
ing in conferences and giving counsel
and advice.
Thus is brought to conclusion for
future progress an important page in
the history of our international Union.
c. l. o. Made False Promises
For historical background we may
state that the first step was in March
Of 1887 when a group of Hershey en-
ployes applied for and obtained a
charter from our international Union.
However, before the local union
could be established and placed on a
properly functioning basis the C. l. O.
injected itself into the situation and
raided the group by false and i'm
possible promises, and our Interna-
tional Union, not desiring Of becom-
ing involved in a three cornered con-
test with dual union and manage
ment, by choice Of the employees them
selves, was relieved of the impending
fray and it's responsibilities.
Nevertheless we kept constant
watchfulness on the situation and, as
expected, during the year of 1887 a
vicious contest took place between
management and the C. I. o., involv-
ing Vigilants' and Citizens Commit
tees, all of which resulted in complete
failure on the part of the C. |. O.
Following on the heels Of that
catastrophe, company union was at
tempted, which was outlawed by the

shey employees, with a desire to be-
come associated with a responsible
International Union, in affiliation with
the American Federation of Labor.
To insure this aim another charter
was issued on April 25, 1888, and nc
sooner was this second charter grant
ed than the union launched a deter
mined membership drive.
During the Immediately following
months energetic efforts were made by
the c.. l. O. to regain control of he

Because of the continued dual con-
test of the G. |. o., the situation had
to be brought to attention of the Ma

after the September crisis had joined
the National Unity Center, which the
free trade unions did not join.
Mergers After March Is
"On March Is the situation was al
tered at one stroke. On March Is the
Czechoslovakia free National Trade
Union Center sent letter to the Ma
tional Unity Center (Which had been
Joined by all unions except the free
trade unions), stating that in view of
the changed conditions, which make
collaboration and unity of the trade
unions indispensable we recommend
the formation Of unified trade union
movement, to be developed in the best
interests of the workers trade groups.
"Odborove Sdruzeni, the organ of
the free National Trade Union Cen
ter, stated on March 20 that the Natl
onal Unity Center had taken this
statement as declaration of collab-
oration, and added that in these times
our trade union center does not want
to remain aloof but wants to con-
tribute to the common work.
All Unions Unite
According to the latest trade union
statistics, compiled in 1887, there
were in Bohemia and Moravia 2,O64,-
600 trade unionists, including $4,000
Germans. The free trade unions in
Bohemia and Moravia had 455,O00
members, or 100000 with those in the
Reichenberg Center.
"This figure was followed by the
National Labor Association, with 1885,
600 members; the organization backed
by the great landowners, which had
$4,000; the Catholic unions with 49,
600; the neutral Civil Servants AS
sociation, with 121 900; two liberal or
ganizations of non-manual workars,
with $4,000 and $4,000 members re-
spectively, and second Catholic Cen
ter with $4,000 members.
"All these organizations have now
joined the National Unity Center,
which has thus more than 100000
members. Its executive is made up of
the leaders of the different affiliated
centers."

Social Security
fContinued From Pore Onel

The question of whether or not the
Ohio law provided for benefit pay
ments based on full-time weekly earn
ings has been argued in and out Of
court by the Ohio State Federation of
Labor and employers since the law be-
came effective nearly three years ago,
and the Interpretation of that section
of the law is still bone of contention.
A recent court decision enjoining
the use of a rule which did not embody
the full-time weekly wage principle in
the computation of benefits and the
statement last week of Administrator
Atkinson apparently ends the long
controversy on that point.
The Administrator also expressed
the opinion that Ohio, with an unem-
ployment trust fund of $116OOO,OOO,
can easily qualify for a reduction in
the 81 per cent payroll tax now
levied upon employers.
"Liberalizations in the Ohio law, re-
quired if we are to get the tax re-
duction, plus the normal increase of
claims as more persons become aware
of their rights to benefits, will jump
the annual benefit payment total by
several million dollars" Administra-
tor Atkinson said. "a careful study
will be required to determine the prop
er per cent of payroll tax until 1912,
when merit rating becomes effective -
The Advisory Council, in it's report,
said the immediate problems facing
the Bureau are primarily of an admin
istrative nature, adding that "these
problems are rapidly being adjusted
and benefits are being paid promptly
The report went on to say that
studies made by the Council have in
dicated that changes may be advisable
to simplify the benefit-paying pro-
cedure in the interest of greater ef-
ficiency and to avoid "existing in
equities"
Supplementary data attached to the
report showed that Ohio's average
benefit check for the first quarter of
1939-$9.98-was SLIP below the ma
tional average of the 46 states fol-
which such information is available.
Commenting on methods used to de-
terlnine the size of benefit checks
which vary widely in different states
the Council declared that in it's opin-
ion benefits paid within a state should
be related to earnings of covered
workers in that state, irrespective OF
the formula used.
The report pointed to a definite
trend in other states away from bene-
fit formulae that provide alternative
methods of determining claims in ia.
vor of single formula applicable
uniformly to all claims.
The Council pointed out, however
that it desired to withhold any speci,
fic recommendations until Congress
acts finally on amendments to the So.
cial Security Act.
The Councils report was signed by
William C. Stafford as Chairman, ane
members John E. Briedenbach, Albert
P. Dalton, Ralph H. Miner, Edison L
Bowers, Albert F. Dawson, and Arm
ond E. Coen. William Papier is sec.

Their Report

Washington, Dec. 27-(AP)-
Members Of the Dies committee were
said today to be in disagreement
over the report of their inVestiga-
tons of un-Amreican activities
which must be presented to the House
next Wednesday.
Authoritative sources said that
the preliminary draft submitted TO
the committee by Chairman Dies,
Democrat, Texas, was being altered
drastically by one member, who OBJ
jected to emphasis placed on GER
tain references to communism.
An argument was reported brew
ing, too, over the question Of Wheth-
er the committee should include
recommendations for legislation to
curb subversiVe activities. A year
ago, Dies prepared a similar report
containing proposals for registering
aliens in a public recording of mem
bers and activities Of such organiza-
tons as the communist party. They
were dropped at the last minute,
however, when some committeeman
suggested that their inclusion might
influence some House members to
oppose continuing the committee, on
the theory that the investigation had
been completed.
The committee will expire Janu-
airy 3, but Dies already has introduce
ed legislation which would extend it
for at least one more year.
