Postal Employees

Been In Effect For
Seventeen Years

Washington. D. G. TLNS).-A 10
per cent pay increase for postal work
ers was urged by President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor and other labor chiefs before
the Senate Civil Service Committee.
which is considering bills to raise
wages of Government employees.
President Green told the committee
that postal employees had worked at
the same wage since 1925.
"A 10 per cent increase is small in
comparison with the rise in living
costs" he pointed out.
Postal unions are urging 10 per
cent increase in conjunction with a
measure to give Federal employees
overtime compensation at the rate Of
time and half for hours in excess Of
40 weekly.
Green declared the Government
should be the ideal employer" in pay
ing it's workers and set precedent
for private industry. Enactment of the
legislation. he added. would bring Il
degree of justice to public workers and
help them meet economic and social
conditions (which are calling for help.
Mrs. Herman II. Lowe, president of
the American Federation of Women 5
AuXiliaries of Labor, also urged pay
boost for postal employees.
Citing statistics of the Department
of Labor, she asserted that even the
prices of hair cuts had raised per
cent and postal employees, especially
a haircut at least twice month to
maintain that ''wellgroomed appear

Ford City. Pa.-Owing to the lack
of transportation facilities available
for the annual picnic, staged each year
by the management of the Eljer Pot
terry co. for members Of Local Union
1O2 and their families. this years outing
was confined to an indoor party staged
by the company at the local armOry
The party was real success with
everybody having Il good time and Il
fine spirit of fellowship prevailed
throughout the evening.
Motion pictures, cartoon comedies
dancing and cards We're the diversions
throughout the evening. with many of
the younger folks displaying a fancy
exhibition of rug cutting to the lively
tunes of small orchestra.
A fine buffet lunch was served later
in the evening, with the menu consist
ing of everything from soup to nuts.
Brothers Bill Hailes and Bill Thorn
ton made their report of the proceed
ings of the recent wage conference
held in New York. Every member
should have been present to hear this
interesting report.
When you fail to attend your local
meetings, you are not only hurting
yourself, but you are hindering our
officers and committeeman in their
work and holding back the trade as Il
whole. Collective bargaining requires
the whOle-hearted cooperation of every
one of us and until we become inter
ested in the work of our organization,
and give our opinions as to what
should be done toward the betterment
of the trade, we can't expect better
conditions and better wages to come
too fast. Let's all make an earnest ef-
fort to be present next meeting night.

Open Letter Drdws

Shortage Of Help Still Pre-
vdils; Girls Are Being
Taught Job

The open letter which appeared in
the Herald recently in regards to ad-
vertisers supporting our paper was
the chief discussion at the last meet
ing Of Local Union No. -. The atti-
tude taken by some of our leading
merchants when they We're solicited,
certainly proves these gentlemen can
not be classed as friend of labor. If
the stores in our city do not wish to
cooperate with labor perhaps little
drastic action can be taken.
The shortage of help continues TO be
a serious problem TO the jiggermen.
Some of the Brothers in the different
shops were reported as hiring girls as
mOuldrunners and battersOut.
While we do not object to the hiring
of women for these jobs in the present
emergency, we feel certain jobs should
not be singled out for day wage rates
and others piece work.
We received the transfer card of
William Mercer from Local Union "a
and Francis Cubberly from Local

for Boston where he will visit his

$4,000 Awarded Electicul
Workers In Out-Of-
Court Settlement
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
Investigation Fdils To Sub.
stdntidte Statements
BY Publisher

New YOrk.-FOr the first time in the
history of the American labor move
ment trade union sued and collected
in libel action when Westchester
Newspapers, Inc, owner of the Mount
Vernon Daily Argus today handed its
check for $4,000 (fifteen thousand
dollars) to Local of the Interna-
ers, an AFL affiliate, in an out-of-
court settlement of suit brought
against the publishers two years ago.
Announcement of the settlement was
made by Harry Van Arsdale Jr., busi-
ness manager of the union.
The settlement, which was negot-
ated by Harold Stern, general counsel
to Local 3, follows an unprecedented
Court of Appeals decision handed down
last November in which it was held
that labor union, for the purpose of
bringing libel action, was to be con-
sidered as a legal entity and therefore
could sue for libel in the State of New
York
In the past it had been the opinion
of some courts that labor unions could
not institute litigation alleging libel on
the theory that since they were un-
incorporated bodies they were not pos
sessed of regulations which the courts
could protect But in the Court Of
Appeals decision the law was inter-
preted to permit trade union to sue
for libel.

Care in Press Speculation
On Second Front Urqed

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 12.-The official
view was made known today that
speculation by newspaper correspon-
dents on second front operations
should be extremely guarded while
the United Nations are preparing
for an eventual assault on Hitler's
Europe.
There was no suggestion that sec
ond front talk would be forbidden
entirely, but one highly qualified
source urged that there be no at
tempt on the part of the press to
forecast future military operations.
Anything more than the most gen.
eral statements may serve to guide
Nazi intelligence agents, it was en-
phasized.
