Paper Tells
 AFL Growth
Success Of Sugar Union
 Due To Labor Paper

OMAHA, Nebr. = How A.F.L membership in the beet sugar region of the North Platte Valley increased from a handful of men to 2,500 union ists in the past five years is told in the special Platte Valley edition of The UmoniSt, Nebraska labor paper.
 ''From a small carpenters and a small bricklayers' union a few years ago we have progressed to IS different locals all operating under charter," the paper says.
 ''At present all factories of the Great Western Sugar Co. in this valley are organized. Since 1888, when Great Western Sugar Co. signed the first union contract, minimum wages have been raised from 471a cents an hour to $ cents an hour.
 Many in this community are preju- diced against organized labor since their only source of information is our daily newspapers and these, in most cases, are controlled by capitalists and therefore against all classes of work ing people" The Unionist observes.

When B.A.'S Meet,
 And Talk So Neat

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Pri- critics and material shortages were under discussion at a building trades business agents meeting.
 William T. Schulze, busi- ness agent of the Carpenters, mentioned the shortage of metal pulleys for window cas- ings and suggested the possi- ble use of wooden pulleys.
 William Work of the Team sters chimed in with the thought that the unions could conserve metal by finding a substitute for heavy iron win dow-weights.
 Then Armstrong Forster of the Plumbers, a native of Scotland, bloomed with the bright idea: s'We can all get rich by inventing an auto- matic window-weight system"
 The meeting broke up when Fred Wahnseidler of the Electrical Workers suggested that the enterprise be incor- porated as the Szulz, Voork, VOster and Vanzidler Window Wait Kompany.

City Workers
 May Strike, Judge Rules
Ohio Court Refuses Injunc. ton Against Picketing
 City Power Plant

CELINA, O.-In a decision unprecedented in the State of Ohio, Judge Clarence U. Ahl up- held the right of municipal em- ployes to strike.
 Ahl refused to enjoin Local l9O, Intl. Bro. of Bremen X Oilers (A.F.L.) from picketing the municipal light and power plant. The writ was sought by the local board of trustees of public affairs.
 SAME LAWS HOLD
 Upholding the right of the em- ployees to strike, Ahl said the village, in the operation of its power plant, was subject to the same laws as an individual or private corporation. He also ruled that a three-man picket line was reasonable and that it was not unlawful for the strikers to en- gage in peaceful discussion with pros pective employees in an attempt to Village officials had accused the strikers of making threats against scabs entering the plant, but this was af fha 1ao oriroU
 WAGNER ACT
 Ahl ruled that claims by vil- lage officials that the Wagner Act does not apply to govern ment employees were irrelevant.
 "SectiOn 13 of the National Labor Relations Act provides that nothing in the act shall be con- strued so as to interfere with or impede in any way the right to strike and it necessarily follows that if the employees of a mu- nicipality-owned electric light plant had the right to strike pri- or to enactment of the MIRA, that such right is not diminished by the said act," the court said.

 Purposes of the council are to "cul- tivate friendship and under standing eliminate friction and causes of fric- ton; develop, through discussion, rightful and proper ways and means of assisting represented unions in problems arising from or concerned with relations with Denver manage ments," the councils declaration of principles stated.
 JURISDICTIONS

When you go to the store and order
can of peas, there's price ceiling
on that can over which the grocer
cannot charge you. That's one OF the
rules in the federal maximum price

But If you decide you want fresh
peas, there is no ceiling. You pay the
market price, whatever it may be at
the moment.

Ordinary flour that you use every
