DODGERS IN
 WIN ASCASH
 NOW SHOWS
Larry MaePhaiI Spent Money and Has Bought
 National League Flag
AP FEATURE SERVICE

BROOKLYN, Sept. 26. - Who says you can't buy baseball pen nant?
 The questioner might be Larry MacPhail, big. burly, loquacious Larry, a twinkle in his eye and a chuckle in his husky voice.
 For MacPhail, the one time Kaiser hunter, has booted t ha { baseball axiom out of the window. His Brooklyn Dodgers have won the National League pennant a flag that Larry's check book bought.
 As soon as Larry took charge of the Brooklyns three years ago he began sweeping out the dead wood with one hand and waving that checkbook in the other, all the while bowling for talent. Others had tried before him. Ton Yawkey had sunk millions into the Red Sox. But no one had ever bought major league pennant. Larry just grinned. It could, he said, be done.
 Heavy Spending
 Even Brooklyn fans, who are used to anything, were startled when MacPhail tossed out s600Oo for Dolph Camilli before the ink on his own contract had hardly dried. Since then he has spent more than $800,000 for players.
 Only four players who wore Brooklyn livery when he arrived are here now-Leo the Lip Duroch- CT, Fat Freddie Fitzsimmons, Cookie Lavagetto and Luke Hamlin.
 His most expensive single pur- chase was Kirby Higbe. He spent $i25,000 for the Philadelphia thrower.
 He kissed s132.OOO goodbye to get Ducky- -Wucky Medwick and Curt Davis from the Cards. This year he gave the Cardinals $60,- 900, Gus Mancuso and young pitcher for Mickey Owen.
 Mere and More
 Then he handed the Cubs $50.- 900 for Billy Herman. Pee Wee Reese cost him another fifty grand. On the other hand, one of his top stars this year cost him only $lO0 That's Pete Reiser, the young out fielder who is batting champion ship contender.
 Higbe has been worth the dough,

 He's quIeu and modest, doesn drink or smoke. Girls back in Kan sas City, where he played last year, send him letters signed with lipsticked kisses. He's called King of Queens because he lives in the Queens borough of New York City.

FOR GM-UE

Negotiations for a national agree
ment providing for 10-cent-an-
hour wage increase, two weeks
vacation with pay, an increase in
compensation for drafted en-
ployees and other standard union
conditions were opened in Detroit
last week between the UE and the
General Motors Corporation.
The contract sought is to cover
10000 UE members in the six
plants of the GIN Electrical Divi-
sion in which UE Locals are now
sole bargaining agents. These
plants are Frigidaire /, Frigidaire

Delco-Remy of Bloomfield, N. J.
These negotiations with General
Motors, the first ever conducted
by the UE for the Electrical
Division of the company, are
being conducted simultaneously,
with, and on contract provisions
parallel to those being negotiated
by the UE for the employees of
both Westinghouse and General
Electric. Further negotiations with
the General Motors Corporation
are planned for the future.
In the Electrical Division nego-
tiations, the UE was represented
by Lem MARYLAND, president of

dent of Local 755; Victor Deca-
witch, president of Local TIT;

Wage clause
holds Up contract
at National

Refusal of management to meet
union proposals for wage in
creases, vacations, compensation
for draftees, and a union shop, is
holding up signing of a contract
between UE Local 753 and the
National Foundry. A membership
meeting of the National group
has voted to strike if necessary to
enforce union proposals.
Management has recognized
the principle of wage in
creases, vacations, and COM
p~ensation for draftees, but has
replied to union demands on
these issues with offers con-
demned as completely in
adequate by the union men,
bership.
Management has refused alb
solutely to meet the union de-
mand for a union shop, despite
the fact that over 800 of the
workers in the plant are dues
paying members of Local 753.
Negotiations will continue this
week, and further proposals will
be considered by the Foundry
membership at their next meet

GRIEVANCE

With several important grie-
vances already settled, and others
filed, union leaders urged all
Chrysler Airtemp workers this
week to make full use of the
union grievance procedure as guar
anteed in the contract. The pro-
cedure follows the streamlined
pattern common in other UE
agreements.
Grievances filed in Depart
ment 70, Welding, call for
establishment of three CLASH
fications in the department.
instead of the present con-
fused set-up, and evening out
of rates to bring all men to
tops or above for their CLASH
fication. The grievances on
this issue, signed by about half
the department, were worked
out at a special department
meeting held at the UE Hall
last week. The Department Is
led by Committeeman Allie
Richards.
Settlement of many wage grie-
vances by foremen or supervisors,
before recourse to the third step
of the grievance procedure, vas
reported by union leaders.
