Denver Teumsters Win
Wage Increase Strike
Four Dollars Per Week Added to Pay
Envelopes of Drivers

Denver, Colo. (AFLWNS). - A
three-day strike against the Weicker
Transportation Company called by Lo-
cal No. l3 of the International Broth
erhood of Transfers, Chauffeurs,
Stablemen and Helpers of America re-
suited i'm the negotiation of an agree
ment carrying large wage increases
and shorter hours for union members
on the Denver-C Colorado Springs-Pueb-
10 circuit of the company. The strike
was called by the A. f. Of l.. affiliate
because Of the company's refusal to
sign a closed shop contract.
Under the provisions of the new
agreement, members Of Teamsters
Union No. l3, composed of teamsters,
warehousemen, freight handlers, dock
men and furniture packers, receive
increases in wages ranging from few
cents to 10 cents an hour and totaling
as high as $4.C0 week, and reduc-
tion in the work week from 60 to 64
cents. The most important feature of
the new contract is the union shop
clause stipulating the employment of
only paid-up members in good stand
ing, and numerous improvements in
working conditions. The local gained
over 100 new members.
All of the employees of the local
branch were reinstated by the manage
ment.

Bon On Strike For
Closed Shops Asked
Wilson x Co. Wants A. +. of l.. Unions
Enjoined From Picketing the
Firms Plant

Philadelphia, Pa. (AFLWNS). -
Pickets of A. f. of l.. unions patrolling
the plant of Wilson & Co., meat pack
ers here, have so seriously affected the
affairs of that concern that it's officials
have asked Federal Judge William II.
Kirkpatrick to enjoin the unions from
using this method Of persuading the
company to sign closed shop agree
ment.
Counsel for the company admitted
that a closed shop agreement was legal
if the workers wanted it, but contend
ed that strike to achieve that end
was illegal if the employer was requir-
ed to discharge any of his employees
to comply with the closed shop provi-
sion. Such action, he said, would force
employees to join union against their
will and would violate the law. He also
contended that the three unions of
butchers, truck drivers and warehouse
employees were deliberately conspiring
to destroy the company's business
unless it signed up.
Representatives Of the three unions
involved testified that they held more
than TOO closed shop agreements with
employers in the Philadelphia area
and that Wilson & Co. was one Of only
two meat packing concerns which hac
not signed up.

Planned by AFLCouncil
American Federation of Actors Wants
Jurisdiction Over Outdoor
Amusements

Miami, Fla. (AFLWNS). - Broad
plans for the American Federation of
Actors to organize the outdoor amuse-
ment field, including employees of fairs,
carnivals and circuses, we're mapped
by the Executive Council of the Am
erican Federation of Labor, in session
here.
Ralph Whitehead, president of the
actors group, asked for permission to
extend the jurisdiction Of his organi-
zation to cover all employees in the
outdoor amusement field. This includes
roustabouts and circus wagon drivers,
as we'll as performers.
The council, according to Mr.. Green,
indicated its willingness to grant the
extension of jurisdiction, but directed
him to confer with Mr.. Whitehead
concerning the method of dealing with
more permanent organizations, such
as those of the New York and San
Francisco World Fairs.
In these fairs, said Mr.. Green, men
are employed who reside in the imme-
diate vicinity and who cannot be class
ed as travelling employees, such as those
used by the ordinary fairs and carni-
vals.
Mr.. Green and Mr.. Whitehead will
discuss the possible overlapping of
jurisdiction between his union and
others.

A. +. OF. l.. UNION NAMED
BARGAINING AGENT

Newcomerstown, o. (OLNS). - For
the second time in less than a year,
the International Brotherhood of
Blacksmiths, Drop Forgers and Help
ers was named bargaining agent for
the 750 employees of the Heller Bros.
Co. plant here by the National Labor
Relations Board.
Several months ago, following a
hearing, an agent for the Board named
the A. F. of l.. Union as agent for the
employees and ordered dissolution of a
company union. The ruling was dis
puted and an election demanded, fol-
lowed by strike.
After several days of negotiation, an
NLRB supervised election was agreed
upon, and when the votes were count
ed, the A. f. Of l.. Union had ma
jority of 346 to 266. Contract negotia-
tions with the company started at
once.

Burke's Changes In
Labor Relations Act
Opposed BY A. F. l.
Proposed Changes Would
DrusticallY Limit Fundu-
mental Rights

Miami, Fla. (AFLWNS)--The main
proposals contained in the bills to
amend the National Labor Relations
Act introduced in the u. S. Senate by
Senator Edward r. Burke Of Nebraska
were condemned by William Green,
president of the American Federation
If Labor, in a statement made at his
press conference following a meeting
If the A. F. of l.. Executive Council,
n session here.
Zone of his amendments provides
that the closed shop shall be illegal,
Mr.. Green said. There is no justifica-
ion for such a proposal. The matter of
.he closed shop should be left for the
employer and employe to work out
through collective bargaining.
MANY employers find the closed
shop advantageous and they want it
he workers the same way. There are
.losed shop agreements that have
proved satisfactory. To prohibit them
IS to strike blow against collective
bargaining as many courts have held
,losed shop agreements valid"
Mr.. Green opposed the Burke
amendment which would ban coercion

sion Of the present act which bars CO.

definition of what Senator Burke
means by amy source" said Mr..
Green. 81 object to a definition that
might be so construed as to make an
appeal to join union held to be CO.
ercive or an act Of intimidation. Such
a change as proposed by Senator
Burke would open up the field for the
representatives that would virtually
nulify the Wagner act.
"Then, too, if anything like a picket
line disturbance were to be made a
Federal offense it would mean that
you would have to have Federal Off
cials act as justices Of the peace to
handle such cases and you would have
to have the Federal courts consider
these cases and Federal police officials
and law officers take care of the ar
rest and prosecution of the alleged Of
tenders. Today the State and local
laws are adequate to cover such Of
fenses."
Petitioning the National Labor Rela-
tions Board for removal of hearings
to the Federal district courts, as sug-
gested by Senator Burke, would, ac-
cording to Mr.. Green, result in "inter-
minable delay"
On the same ground he opposed the
idea of separating the JUDICIAL prose.

the National Labor Relations Board.
Mr.. Green viewed with disfavor Sen.

Defense Plun Not
To Cut Wage Rate
Vocational Training For the
Students Will Not Inter-
fere With WAGES

Miami, Fla. (AFLWNS). - Aubrey
Williams, head Of the National Youth
Administration, assured the Executive
Council of the American Federation Of
Labor, in session here, that the Roose-
velt Administrations plan to give vo-
cational training to part Of the high
school and college students on the rolls
If the n. Y. A. as a method Of speed
ng up the defense programs would be
guarded against interfering with the
wage rates built up over many years
~ the trade unions.
Members Of the Council made it
clear to Mr.. Williams that the unions,
particularly mechanics and those in
the building trades, feared that if the
vast rearmament program proposed by
enlarged defense policy were put into
effect union members would be con-
fronted with the possibility of lower
wages which employers woul seek to
enforce because Of the increased labor
supply made available through the vo-
,ational training for students sponsor
ed by the Youth Administration.
Mr.. Williams assured the Fedora
tion's council that the government
would make Especial efforts" to see
that prevailing hours and wages were
maintained.
AS further guarantee Of continued
high wages for workers in the crafts,
Mr.. Green said the Federation would
ask Congress to amend the wage and
hour law to provide that the 25-cent
an hour minimum should be paid to
learners and apprentices.
Mr.. Williams agreed to the creation
of national and local advisory boards,
on which labor would have its repre-
sentatives, to consider the work prof.
ects Of the N. Y. A., of which there
are now, Mr.. Williams said, some $500
in operation or in prospect. The coun-
ellis, it was contemplated, would con-
sist of representatives of the public, of
management and of labor, and their
members would serve without pay.
What chiefly worried the union Off
cials as they regarded the N. Y. A. vo-
cational training program, Mr.. Green
said, was the fear that it would create
what he called IAN army of handymen
partially equipped and partially train
ed who would be employed at lower
wages than those now prevailing and
thus would break down our wage sys-
tenn"
"We heartily agree" Mr.. Green
continued, "that the apprentice sys-
tenn must adjust itself to the require
ments of our industry and Of our ma
tional needs" But, "at the same time,
as he put it, there was the matter Of
the law of supply and demand.
"We are apprehensive," Mr.. rGeer
said, "over the attitude Of employers
who might bring in lots Of appren-
tices and learners at less than 2e
cents an hour, and when they become
pretty well trained they would be dis.
missed, and such employers woulC
bring in more apprentices"
