their requests for more general fund

more funds to increase salaries of
teachers and possibly other school en-
ployees. City officials also pointed out
that garbage collection also was eX-

BULLETIN!

Washington, D. C.-The American
Federation of Labor and the ClO
signed an armistice on Dec. 2.
The agreement, entered into by the
Peace Committees represented both
organizations, calls for an immediate
end to union raiding and jurisdictional
warfare.
The conferees described their action
as most important first step toward
actual amalgamation of the AFL and
CIO. They also emphasized that it
will be of tremendous benefit to the
war production program, since the
agreement will prevent delays due to
union rivalry.
Having accomplished this initial
and significant truce, the peace con-
ferences recessed until later this
month when negotiations to bring
about permanent merger of the AFL
and CIO into a united labor movement
will be resumed
The truce, which have to be ratified
by the Executive Councils of the AFL
and CIO, provides for the appointment
of Joint committee of AFL and CIO
representatives to hear and decide
any iurisdictional differences arising
between an AFL and a CIO union in
the same field If this committee
fails to agree on it's decision, it shall
select an impartial arbiter to resolve
the dispute If the committee cannot
agree on an arbiter within five days,
the President of the United States
shall be requested to name one.
eve recommend that this under
standing shall remain in force until
labor unity is effected" the announce
ment by the AFL and CIO Peace Com
mittees stated.
The truce was proposed by the AFL
Committee, composed of Vice Plesi-
dents Harry G. Bates, Daniel j.
Tobin and William l.. Hutcheson.
Their recommendation was made
pursuant to the unanimous action of
the recent AFL convention in Toronto
which urged an immediate armistice
with the CIO to end raiding. The
convention declaration said:
"We are convinced if these (peace)
negotiations are to be successful, Bit
terness of feeling must be eliminated
and hostilities come to an end. Your
committee believes that it would be
difficult indeed for the unity commit
tee to make satisfactory progress if
in the meantime hostile raiding tactics
] continue. We, therefore, urgently rec

ILO Group to Discuss Model
Safety Code For Factories

Montreal ILNS).-Canadian and
American members of the Interna-
tional Labor Offices committee on ac-
cident prevention will meet in New
York December Is and 16, it was an
nounced at the Hos headquarters
here. 1t will be the first meeting of
committee members since 1887
Purpose of the meeting, according
to the LILO announcement, will be to
discuss plans for the model safety
code for factories which the LILO is
preparing, and also to consider mon
ograph on safety in dock work which
the ILO will publish.

service, will attend the meeting as the
representative of the office.

ommend that this convention approve
of an immediate armistice as an
essential evidence of good faith and
sincerity"
In very $ m ar language, the
agreement entered into between the
AFL and CIO Peace Committees de-
clared:
eve are convinced that if peace
negotiations are to be successful and
unity achieved, cooperation among
our respective members and organiza-
tions must be encouraged and promo
ted. 1t is our belief that it would be
extremely difficult to make satisfac-
tory progress toward unity through
these negotiations if, in the mean
time, there is absence of practical
cooperation between the two organi-
cations. We agree to the establish
ment of a joint AFL-CIO Committee
to hear and decide any disputed jur-
isdictional differences that may arise
between the two above-named organi-
zations."
At a press conference following an
nouncement of the truce, AFL Chair
man Bates said complaints could be
filed with the new Jurisdiction Com
mittee only by national and interna
tional unions affected. The commit
tee will not consider disputes between
two AFL unions or between two
CIO unions, he added
Members of the new Jurisdiction
Committee will be named by the
Executive Councils of the AFL and
CIO when they meet to ratify the
pact.

Council Declined Holding
City Employees Seniority

City Councilmen, meeting informal
ly Monday night, declined to set
precedent for the release of employees
to war plants with the guarantee that
such employees shall retail their full
pension status
Councilmen believe the War Man
Power Commission, headed by Paul
V. McNutt, soon would draft skilled
mechanics now employed in other
work. They said the Federal policy
probably would provide for their re-
turn to civilian jobs after the war.
Council agreed that skilled workers
should be made available when pos
sible, but pointed out that the present
laws make no provisions for their re-
lease without jeopardizing seniority
rights.
The matter was brought to coun-
cil's attention in letter from a Ham
ilton war industry requesting the
services of a city fremen who has II
years seniority with the fire depart
ment.

workers were insufficient to enable
them to exist without aid from rela-
tives or public moneys.
Wage Order Fought
To meet this problem, the Indus
trial Commission appointed a wage
board of employers, workers and the
public. This board met in 1888 and
made recommendation which became
Directory Order No. 8, with a guaran-
teed wage as the outstanding feature.
The small group of confectioners,
whose appeal has just been rejected
by the Court of Appeals, refused to
pay worker the minimum wage as
provided in the order. They were
called in to show reason why their
names should not be published.
Whereupon they challenged the prin-
ciple of guaranteed wage and insti-
tuted legal proceedings which ulti-
mately found their way to the Court
of Appeals.
Principle Not New
There is nothing new or startling
in the principle of a guaranteed wage.
New York state has six minimum
wage orders, and the principle of a
guaranteed wage is involved in four
of them: the laundry, the beauty par
lor, the confectionery and hotel or
ders. Furthermore, great many
other states have this principle in
corporated in their minimum wage
orders. The principle is in operation
also in Breat Britain.
