IWorld's Biggest Tent
Carries Union Label

Seattle, Wash. ULNS).-A huge
tent, thought to be the largest in the
world, is under manufacture in the
plant of the Seattle Tent and Awning
Co., which employs members of the
Upholsterers international Union un-
der union shop agreement.
The tent, 1876 feet by 1928 feet and
costing about $4,000, will be sus-
pended over the site Of the 100000
Mud Mountain dam in the White
River Canyon, Wash. The tent COW
ering will be suspended over the dam
site for Ia months, to keep the site
protected from railfall and snow while
work is going on in the canyon.
1t will be stretched across the dam
site first at an elevation of 1000 feet
over the bottom. then as the work
progresses it will be raised to 1,05C
feet and finally to a height Of 1,1OC
feet. The problems raised by this
monster tent are indicated by the fact
that it must be strong enough to sup.
port the tremendous weight of Wash.
ington snowfalls and at the same
time must be sufficiently flexible te
permit it's being shaken in order te
dislodge the accumulated snowfall
when necessary.

IF. McCreerY To Retire;
Veteran Curmens Leader

Kansas City, Mo.-The official jour
nal of the brotherhood of Railway
Carmen of America announced that
j. F.. McCreery of Paducah, KY, in
point of service the Oldest vice presi-
dent of the Carmen, will retire on
April /.
Mr.. Creery is genuine veteran
of the railroad labor movement.
Starting as a leather worker and a
member of the Leather Workers
Union he decided to try railroading
in 1900 when he was only 23 and Sc
cured a job in the car department of
the Illinois Central at Paducah where
the Carmen had just established Pa
ducah Lodge No. Ia, which he imme-
diately joined.
In 1909 the Illinois Central System
Federation was formed with Mr. Nc
Creery as its president. Gradually the
federation idea spread over the
country and in modest way did the
work now performed by the Railway
Employees Department of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor.
Elected vice president of the Car
mems Brotherhood at the Milwaukee
convention in 1913 Mr.. McCreery was
reelected at each subsequent conven-
ton and now has % years of service
in that capacity.

APPRE ENTIcESHlP
TRAINING GROWS
Attention To Beginners Is
Brought On By Defense
Needs. Says Perkins

Washington, D. C. QLNS). Mount
ing attention is being directed toward
apprenticeship, as a result of the eff
forts to solve the problem of training
skilled workers for defense industries
Secretary of Labor Perkins announced
here, following completion of sur
vey of apprenticeship progress by the
Department of Labor.
"The survey reveals that in the last
six months, the number of appren-
tices in training in all apprenticeable
trades has jumped by approximately
20 per cent" she said. at further
indicates that this rate of Increase
slightly over three per cent month
for the period covered-is climbing
steadily under the pressure of de-
fense demands.
Ten-fOld Increase Needed
According to an estimate made
after study of available figures, the
total number of apprentices employed
in the United States at present does
not exceed 125,O0O This figure is far
below minimum needs of all-round
trained manpower.
To fulfill demands, the number
should be, at least, ten times what it
is-perhaps as high as 100000.
"The increase in the number of ap-
prentices being trained under the
basic standards set up by the U. S.
Department of Labor through the
Federal Committee on Apprentice
ship, is most gratifying. The employ
ment and training of some 10000
young men is affected by these stand
ards. This is approximately twice the
number reported six months ago.
Apprenticeship Unit Expanded
"The bulk Of apprentices brought
under standards during this period is
in those industrial fields whose pro-
duction is vital to the present emer-
gency-aviation. shipbuilding and the
metal trades. The number of appren-
ticeship systems in the country meet
ing approved standards advanced
from 578 in August last year to ap-
proximately 800 at the end Of Febru-
ary. Of these systems, 143 are in
private plants"
To meet increased demands for its
services, the Apprenticeship Unit of
the Department of Labor has had to
expand it's field staff from 35 to over
100 in the past six months. The Ap-
premiership Unit has been designated
by the Office of Production Manage
ment to handle matters pertaining to
the apprenticeship phase of defense
The Federal Committee on Appren-
ticeship is composed Of representa-.
tives Of labor, government and the
public.

No Jerry Builders
Wanted In Defense
FdheY Worms Contractors to
Squash Bad Building
Construction

James H. Fahey, chairman of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board, an
avowed enemy of the "jerry builder"
reports that this notorious practice
of some contractors has been re-
sumed quite generally. He pictured
trouble for those who came his way.
Mr.. Fahey's statement was warn,>
ing to builders and lenders to watch
for bad building and to squash it
whenever encountered in the interest
Of the building industry. The "jerry
builder" appears generally where
boom conditions prevail. His activi-
ties now center in areas where hous-
ing shortages are evident due to the
demands of the preparedness program.
Chairman Fahey said home mort
gage lending institutions had it in
their power to prevent real recur-
renee anywhere Of shoddy construc-
ton of residential dwellings such as
in 1922 to 1929, adding:
''The defense program has already
brought about SO great demand for
new houses that construction activity

boom times there is always tempta-
ton for unscrupulous builders to use
cheaper grades of material and work
manship. 1t is necessary, therefore,
now more than ever before, to guard
against the evils of jerry building.
81 sincerely hope mortgage lenders
will not allow the building industry
to make the same mistake again. The
experience of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation with over a million home
mortgages showed conclusively that
the himsy building of the Twenties
was large factor in the foreclosure
wave of the Thirties. In the interest
both Of the home owner and of the
lending institution, such construction
must be eliminated"

Higher Earnings Urged
For Low-Income Groups

"The unsatsfied wants of millions
of our citizens offer challenge and
an opportunity to increase domestic
distribution Of agricultural products" F"
declares Milo Perkins, Administrator
of the Surplus Marketing Administra-
ton of the Department of Agriculture,
in his recent annual report.
Families who are forced to live
at the 5-cents-a- meal level cannot buy
the amounts or kinds of food they
need" he said.
"They do not get enough of fruits
and vegetables, of dairy and poultry
products, or of meats. Neither can
they buy adequate supplies of clothing
and household goods. Studies show
that families of four with incomes of
$500 year or less spend only ST
year for cotton goods, as against
expenditures of Sill year for fam
lilies of four making $4,000 a year or
over
"If all families earning less than
$lOO month could bring their in
comes up to that level, the national
expenditure for food alone would in
crease by approximately 2 billion dol
lars a year, about half Of which would
go back to the farmer, thus raising
the price level for his entire produc-
ton. In the same way, low-income
families would increase their cotton
purchases materially if they had more
buying power. In one way or an
other this untapped market must be
reached"

No. 45Heurs Social
Security Official
Answers Questions On Old
Age Pension Feature OF
Security Act

Trenton, n. J.-Local Union No. 45
turned out in full to hear Mr.. Titman
of the Social Security Old Age Pen
sion Board who spoke briefly on the
subject. He then answered the many
questions put to him by our members.
Much interest was shown in routine
matters which were taken care of.
Brother John Martin was reported
sick and Brother Jack Burns is back
on the job after several weeks i'll
ness.
We are sorry to say we are not 100
per cent organized, just SO 2/3 per
cent, but even at that we think we
have a splendid average. The head on
last weeks article might give the
wrong impression. There are still a
few members little careless in their
dues and assessments. They do not
seem to appreciate the fact that If
they keep paid in their dues and as
sessments their dependents will re-
ceive nice sum if anything should
happen to them. We would suggest
that wives or other dependents see
that they keep in good standing for
their sake.
Our sincere sympathy goes to Mr..
Elvin Applegate who lost her husband
March II. Brother Applegate was a
member of No. 35 for many years, be-
ing employed in the china department
of the sanitary plant. Everyone at the
Mutual will miss him very much.
Our members who attended the ban
quet held by Local Union No. 40 en-
joyed it and would like to have many
more along the same line.
Resolutions for the coming conven-
ton are beginning to come in. Please
do not leave yours until the last

Mochinis+s Adopt
1hree-Poinf Plan
To Stop Strikes
Program Designed to Speed
Defense Work Adopted
In Washington

Washington, D. c. QLNS).-A pro-
gram designed to prevent strikes as
far as possible on national defense
projects has just been adopted by the
executive council of the International
Association of Machinists in bi-annual
session here.
1t has long been the policy of the
machinists' union not to resort to
strikes until all peaceful means for
settling differences with management
have been exhausted" and an oppor-
tunity given to the Labor Depart
ment's Cancellation Service to adjust
the dispute, the council said.
Mediation First Step
The plan approved by the council
provides that whenever a crisis arises
in plant or on a project which af-
fects the national defense program
that cannot be settled in conference
between employer and employe, these
three steps shall be taken:
1.-Mediation shall be invoked by
calling on the United States Bureau
Of Cancellation to attempt settle
ment.
2.-If the bureau does not succeed
in adjusting the differences, the di-
rector general of the Office Of Pro-
duction Management will be asked to
intervene for the purpose of effecting
settlement.
3.-Should the OPM also fail to
bring about a settlement that is mu-
tually acceptable, the union will agree
to submit the issues to arbitration.
Limitations on Offer
The only limitations placed on the
offer to arbitrate are in controversies
where the issues involve encroach-
ments on the work jurisdiction Of the
International Association Of Machin-
lists, or compromise the rights of
workers set forth in the National La
Dor Relations Act, and in cases where
the employer takes advantage Of the
time delay to practice intimidation
and coercion on his employees in an
effort to weaken or destroy the union
in his plant, the executive council
said.

California Picnic
Date Set-June II
Choose Same Day for Frolic
On West Coast As
General Outing

Ell Cerrito, Calif.-The eastern pot
ters have nothing on us when it comes
to having a picnic. The locals on the
west coast have appointed a perman-
ent picnic committee and plans are
we'll under way to hold our second
annual outing on Saturday, June Ia
at some good spot in this locality
We had very successful get together
last year and hope it will be even more
successful in 1941.
Local Union No. 165 was very
much pleased with the increase obtain
ed by the conference committee. We
would like to compliment them on a
job we'll done.
1t was necessary for our local to
resort to five day stoppage Of work
in support of one of our brothers who
was laid off under circumstances con
trary to the existing agreement. The
brother has been returned to work anC
we are getting on very we'll.
We are still working on our new
contract and hope to have it ready
by the first Of April for the new wage
scale. A brand new contract form
has been drawn up by a committee
of our members acting with Brother
Joe Sargent. 1t has been sent to
national headquarters for approva
and their signatures; we are now
awaiting it's return. In it we are ask
ing for the full U. S. p. An. B. o

Teachers Urged To
Revoke 2 Charters
Vice President Charges Two
Locals Dominated BY
Communists

New York City GLNS).-Speaking
over radio station WEVD, Mark Starr,
vice president of the American FEEDER
alton of Teachers, urged members to
support revocation of the charters of
Locals and SGT, which has been ask
ed by the federation's executive coun-
Gil on the ground that the two locals
are dominated by Communists. The
executive board has also asked the
same action against a Philadelphia To-
cal. The matter is now before a
nationwide referendum
Except for a tiny minority, the
teachers Of this city and their fellow
citizens abhor totalitarianism, red as
we'll as black" said Starr. "We par
ents wants our children's minds open
ed by honest teaching, not shut by
secret proselytising.
"Housecleaning Necessary"
"The teachers want unions strong
clean and free from domination by
Communist or any other political fac
ton. They want unions which will
not antagonize but cooperate with
public opinion IN this city.
"The teachers know that the sup
port of the Central Trades and the
State Federation of Labor is indis-
pensable at Albany as we'll as at
Washington for the welfare of edu-
cation.
"The executive council of the Am
erican Federation of Teachers has
slowly and painfully been compelled
by the weight of evidence accumulated
over many years of sad experience to
recommend revocation of the charters
of Local and Local 537. A house
cleaning by revocation is absolutely
necessary to give free teacher union
ism a chance in this city and to en-
able the A. F. r. to organize the teach
ers of the nation"
Stalinist "Line" Followed
Starr asserted that Local had been
guilty of practices detrimental to de-
mocracy in education because Of its
control by an outside party caucus
Evidence Of this was to be found in
the 100 per cent correlation between
the policies of Local and it's journal
and the Stalinist party line, with all
the deviations and turns of the latter
Despite the retention of democratic
forms by Local 5, its spirit had been
ignored, he charged.

plan so favorably, it is thought it
may go into operation within the
next 80 days in some localities. Just
as soon as East Liverpool has been
thoroughly covered, Mr.. White plans
to go to Sebring, Salem, Trenton and
other pottery centers as quickly as
possible. In addition to the locals
visited by Mr.. White, other units have
been discussing the plan from the
notes brought back to the member
ship from the meeting conducted by
Mr. Woll. All reports point to an or
ganization- n-wide acceptance.

Jobless Cut Fifty Per Cent

Portland, Ore State and Federal
statistical experts reported that a
fifty per cent reduction in the num-
Der of unemployed workers in Ore
gon had occurred during the last
year. The decrease was attributed to
a general industrial boom and ma
tional defense contracts. A year ago
the Oregon unemployed number 55,-
900. Now, according to the report,
there are only $4,000 unemployed in
cludng workers who have jobs on
WPA projects and other Federal
works.

FINE CLUB BOUGHT
BY DETROIT UNIONS

Detroit ULNS).-The Detroit and
Wayne County Federation of Labor
has purchased the Colony Club, once
downtown gathering place of So
ciety women.
Frank X Martel, federation secre-
tary, said that the building will be-
come the finest labor temple in Amer
lea. The big ballroom, ornate tea
dance rooms and paneled library will
be reconditioned at once and in a few
weeks the unions will move into the
rooms, unused for eight years.
Construction Of the 100000 seven
story steel and brick building was
begun in 1928. Then came the de-
preston and by 1888 it had become
a burden to the members. Furnish
ings worth $125,0O0 were auctioned
off in 1885. The state foreclosed the
property for unpaid taxes and sold it
at a "scavenger" sale to the labor
federation, which has ten years to pay
for it.
