Interest Shown At
Local 96 MEETINGS.
Perth AnboY Local Writes
To Headquarters Concern
ing Sanitary Conference

Perth Amboy, N. 1.-THE last reg
ular meeting of Local Union No. SO
was the best held by this local in
some time. 1t was we'll attended and
the interest shown by the members
was very encouraging to the officers
of the local.
Most interest was shown when the
shop committees gave their reports,
as there were matters of Importance
to be taken up in each shop. All were
given consideration because Of the
coming conference with the manage
ment of the Fords Porcelain Works.
The question was asked regarding
the possibility of having some infor-
nation on what has been done about
the conference of all sanitary manu-
facturers. No one present could give
any information on this, so it was de-
cided to write headquarters and have
something for the next meeting.
1t was voted that a collection be
taken up in the shop for one of oul
former employees, Steve Nemeth, who
has been confined to the Roosevelt
tuberculosis Hospital ever since he
left the shop over year ago
Brother julius Sabo reported that he
visited him last Sunday. He praises
the attention given him by the hos
pital attendants. Chin up, Steve
We'll be up to see you soon.
1t was reported that Brother Johr
Karabinchak was taking up new
position with the Catalin Corporation
He left for his new work last Mon
day.
The next regular meeting of 81
will be held September IL, at which
time all members should be presen
as there is sure to be some questions
of Importance coming up. o. G.. SO.

Notorious Operators Get
Higher Wage Rate Awdrd

Detroit, Mich.-A board of arbitra-
ton awarded wage increase of eight
cents an hour to the operators in the
suburban service of the Eastern Mich
igan Motorbuses. The proceedings
involved the Michigan Motorbuses by
an award Of board of arbitration
made on August IL, 1941. Operators
on the suburban routes radiating from
Detroit, are represented by Division
26 of the Amalgamatede Association
of Street, Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America, AFL
affiliate.
The hourly rate of the operators
under the award is now SO cents, to
be paid retroactively from February
l, 1941, the date of termination of
the previous contract. The amount of
back pay due each operator is ap-
proXimately $4,000. The award
further provides for improvement in
the vacation allowance to II days
with pay.

make any commitments if they
couldn't tell in advance within rea-
sonable limits how much their ma
terials would cost them and how much
they could expect to get for their
product. But business and labor both
would be loathe to trade temporary
security and stabilization for eventual
Government control of industry.
Prepare Now for Peace
Having thus dealt constructively
with an Immediately pressing prob
lem, the council then turned it's at
tention to economic dangers that lie
ahead. 1t discovered and warned that
a new depression, much worse than
the last one, is heading our way at
hurricane speed. All the signs point
to it, Millions of workers are now
engaged in defense production. Many
new factories have been built for war
production. A million young men
have been taken out of the labor mar
ket and inducted into the Army and
Navy. All of this is very necessary
and conditions are booming as re-
suit. But just think of what is bound
to happen when the defense emer-
gency ends. Suppose the war ends
suddenly-tomorrow, next year or
three years from now. Who knows
or can tell in advance when that will
happen. Suppose Hitler is crushed and
the totalitarian drive against the re-
naming democracies of the world col
lapses. We all want that to happen
and happen quickly. But what effect
will it have on our economy when the
celebration is over? The first thing
we know half the factories in the
country, now working on defense or
ders will close down. Millions of
workers will lose their jobs. The boys
now in the Army will be let out and
be forced to join another Army-the
Army of unemployed. Money will be-
come tight Farmers will suffer from
the curtailment of markets. Unless
something is done to prevent it, we
will be sunk in the worst depression
in Americas history, a depression
that will breed discomfort and become
new threat to American democracy.
Therefore, the council urgently re-
quested President Roosevelt to start
preparing for peace now with the
same energy and foresight that
| America is devoting to the defense
program. 1t can be done and it must
be done. The council asked the Presi-
dent to name committee represent
ing business, labor, agriculture and
the Government to draft program
for expansion of peace production the
moment the war threat ends. New
industries can be made ready and all
set to go the moment they are need
ed. The council took great forward
step in recommending this plan and
it is to be hoped that the President
will not delay in acting upon it.

0.O00 Aircraft Workers
Organized BY Mdchinists

Washington, ID. C.-Vice President
Eric Peterson of the International
Association of Machinists, AFL affili-
ate, announced that the unions men,
bership in the nations major air
craft firms had swept over the $4,000
mark and that many thousands more
union members employed in airplane
parts plants have also been brought
under the union banner
Collective bargaining gains in the
aircraft industry are also numerous.
At the Boeing Aircraft Company's
plant in Seattle the Machinists Sc
cured wage increases of to 15R
cents an hour for over 10000 en-
ployes, bringing the scales to the
highest point in the aircraft industry.
Other machinists' advances were
higher wages negotiated with 65 cart
age firms in Detroit; 80 trucking COM
panies in Portland, Ore; Is auto
shops in Cheyenne, Wyo.; 10 factory
branch truck concerns in St. Louis
and seven motor carrier freight lines

Vocation Over For
Members OIL. u. 81
ThirtY-Two New Members
Accepted BY Local In
Past Month

Trenton, N. J.-Hello everybody,
our summer vacations are over and
we are settling down to the old rou-
tine again.
Local 81 held its semi-monthly
meeting with President William Cam
eron presiding. The meeting room
was filled despite the heat and vaca-
tions. Thirtytwo members were
initiated into our local in the last
month. Everyone has been doing his
part to boost the organization. This
is certainly pleasing to our hard
working and distinguished president
Work is in full swing at plant No.
5 and everyone is working steady.
The wages, however, aren't very
pleasing and should be brought up to
a higher level. All complaints should
be brought to the local instead of
being discussed around the plant. This
will help you in your cause more than
individual discussion.
Everyone should keep their dues
paid up. Anyone behind should en-
deaVor TO pay promptly. lhlS is a
great help to the local and the shop
collector, who shouldn't have to col
lect dues.
First Vice President Ed Wheatley
was present at our July Is meeting
to discuss the advancement of the
potters throughout the east.
The members of this local are talk
ing about another outing. We could
easily have another affair if everyone
would do his share of the work. They
should understand this local cannot
be the backer all the time.
The maintenance men or yard birds
have appointed Brother Anthony
Pazcale as their representative. We
are sure he will be helpful to the
group. Observer ST.

Facing The Focfs
With PHILIP PEARL

We would like to chat this week
about two declarations issued by the
Executive Council of the American
Federation Of Labor at it's Chicago
meeting which are of supreme i'm
portance to the present and future
welfare of American workers and
just about everybody else in the
country.
The first and immediate national
problem considered by the council
was the high cost of living and the
danger of even greater imitation of
prices unless something is done about
it. In fact, the council decided some
thing must be done about it.
In studying this question, the coun-
Gil gave special attention to the mes
sage sent by President Roosevelt to
Congress asking for authority to con-
troll prices and rents. In this mes
sage, the President emphasized the
fundamental truth that initiation hits
the workers more than anyone else.
Each time the price of bread and
meat goes up, each time the landlord
hikes the rent, the worker gets what
is equivalent to a pay cut. The few
dollars he earns buys less. He and
his family are forced to do without
and the chances of putting by penny
for a rainy day fade. Of course,
wages are rising along with prices,
but the trouble with these pay in
creases is the same as the trouble
with Frances defense preparations
"too little, too late"
Acting, therefore, in the best in
terests of the workers, the council
gave it's approval to the enactment Of
price control legislation.
Dangers of Federal Control
But-and this is big but-the
council recognized serious dangers
are involved in giving any Federal
agency, no matter how well-inten-
toned, such broad powers. For one
thing, there unquestionably will be a
move made by reactionary groups to
have the proposed law cover wage in
creases as we'll as price increases.
This is unthinkable to organized labor
and, in fact, the President specifically
exempted wages from the scope OF
the price control plan in his message.
That won't stop some of the anti
labor members of Congress, however,
from whooping up loud campaign
for including ware regulation in the
law and labor will have to be closely
70
Government regulation of wages
would be fatal to free labor and
would transform our country from a
democracy to Fascist State over
night.
There is another danger that Fed
eral control Of prices may lead to
Government control Of business. This
too, would be harmful to labor. The
workers of our country have a stake
in the American system of free en-
! terrpise and insist that it shall be
preserved. Without free enterprise
there can be no free labor. If every
one were working for the Govern
ment, labor would find all its present
/ freedoms gone, just as the workers II
totalitarian countries lost theirs.
Bearing all this in mind, the Ex
ecutive Council called upon Congress
to hedge the grant of price contro
powers to a Federal agency withir
strict limits. Everyone sees the neec
of preventing imitation. Even bushes:
itself is anxious for some form OF
price control because it would be i'm
possible to carry on business withou
! it. Manufacturers would hesitate t(

that nearly all past records for gains
in membership and collective bargain

During July the increase in member

great variety of industries, and all
have carried higher wages, improved
working conditions, vacations with
pay, clearly defined bargaining rights,
and many other benefits.
