SLAYNG CASE APPEAL
TO PLACE POLL TAX
BEFORE HIGH COURT

Richmond Va. ULNS). - The Su-
preme Court of Appeals of Virginia,
i'm Il decision without opinion. has de-
MED the petition of Odell Waller, Ma
gro sharecropper of Gretna, Va, for
Il writ of habeas corpus, which his
attorneys had requested principally on
the grounds that the barring of non
payers of poll taxes from jury service
in Virginia made his Indictment and
conviction unconstitutional under Fed
eral and state law.
John +. Finerty, attorney for Wal
ier scheduled to be executed March 20
for the self-defense Staying of his
farmer landlord, announced in New
York City that an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court would be made,
thus placing the issue of the constitu-
tionality of the poll tax, said to dis
franchise the million Americans,
squarely before the nations highest
court
Prof Carl RauShenbllsh of New
York University, chairman of the
board of the Workers Defense League,
declared that Il favorable decision of
the United States Supreme Court on
the Waller case might throw out the

least move toward democratic jury

Green Blasts Fake vinson Charges
That Unions Profit From Defense
Declares AFL Organizations Have Pod S450000000 In
Insurance Benefits To Union Members

Washington, u. C.-President VIII
ton Of Labor sent to all members Of
Congress thorough. factual rcfuta
ton Of that portion Of the NinsOn Com
mttee's report which charged trade
unions had profited from the national
defense program.
Mr.. Green punctured the accusations
| made in the report by citing the fol-
| lowing facts which he said were avail
able to the committee but deliberately
| ignored by it:
| That the S1O,G190OO increase in
the assets Of III unions with a mem
lS-month period from Oct. /, 1899, to
March 81, 1911, as reported by the
Ninson Committee, represents only 81
cents per member per month. CIhe
! figure is 1916 cents per member per
month for the AF'L unions cOvered)
2-That the great bulk Of union as
sets are funds held in reserve for union
members and paid out to them from
| time to time under various benefit sys-
tens, including unemployment insur-
ance, death, disability, health, retire
ment and other benefits
3-That in the 14-year period from
1927 to 1910 inclusive, extending over
the years Of depression and recovery
AFL unions paid to their members a
total Of $40, 100000 in unemployment
sickness diSability old are and deaf Ii
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1942-02-12

J-That recent increases in union
assets can be accounted for as follows:
tal Increases in union membership
(the AFL gained 100000 members dur
ing the period covered by the Ninson
Commttee.)
(b) because Of widespread re-em-
plOyment, union members previously
jObleSs were able to renew dues pay
ments and many Of them paid up ar
rearS in order to re-eStabish eligibility
for benefits.
(c) Because of the no-strike policy
of the American Federation of Labor
and its affiliated unions there was Il
sharp decrease in the number of strikes
and in the length of their duration,
thus considerably cutting down dis
burSementS for strike benefits
Mr.. Green declared that far from
seeking to profit from the defense pro-
gram AFL building trades and metal
I trades unions have endeavored to help
the Government in every way possible
and have transported at their own eX
pense hundreds of thousands of me
chanicS and skilled workers from their
/ home communities to the site of de-
/ fense projects where their services
We're urgently needed.
/ Mr.. Green said:
/ The committees conclusion that the
American trade unions have sought to
benefit from the defense program TO
/ the dctriment of the public interest
( is utterly without foundation or sub
! sanitation. 1t constitutes Il Slur on the
record Of the American trade union
movement. The committees failure to
examine and report on organized la
bor's contribution to defense and the
cost Of such contribution sustained by
trade unions is conclusive proof of the
I committees anti-labor bias

characterized as the most hazardous
of all industries, Chairman William j.
Picard of the board, pointed out that
wOrkmen'S compensation awards for
accidents occurring in building and
demolition operations represent rough
ly One-third of the total cost of com
pensation awards for all industrial
accidents i'm New York state.
Old Code Obsolete
The new code to be known as Indus
trial Code Rule No. % Relating to the
Protection of Persons Employed in the
Erection, Repair and Demolition of
Buildings or Structures will throw
mandatory safeguards about every haZ-
arlOuS operation in connection with
the construction and demolition of
buildings.
While an existing code has been in
effect dealing with the same subject
since 1920, the former code provided
but few meager safeguards for house
WreckerS and wOrkmen employed in the
razing of buildings generally. Further
more, the existing code contained no
rules safeguarding against accidents
occurring in excavation operations
Over the last two decades the building
construction industry has expanded so
greatly, introducing new types of ma
chinery and new techniques of opera
ton, that the existing code was found
to be obsolete and wholly inadequate
in curbing the ever growing number
of serious accidents and fatalities in
this industry.
Bad Accident Record
Prior to adopting the new code the
Board of Standards and Appeals COM
menced Il survey of the number, Sc
verify and cost of compensated acci-
dents in construction and demotion
operations in New York over Il 10
year period. 1t was found that rough
1y for every four workers employed
during the year in the construction in
dustry, there was one disabling acci-
dent. During the 1O-year period
studied there were 1,071 Scaffold ac-
cidentS with a total cost of compen-
saton awards of $11 ,524,G67.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR
REFRIGERATOR

The electric or gas refrigerator
that's doing duty in your kitchen to-
day may have to last You through the
war, since many manufacturers are
turning their factories to war prOduc-
ton. Here are some rules you can. OBJ
serve to keep yours in good condition
as long as possible, gathered by Con
srmers Guide, publication of the Con-
sumers Counsel Division of the L. S.
Department of Agriculture:
1. Wipe up all spilled foods in the
cabinet Immediately. Acid foods, if not
removed. are apt to destroy the glaze
of the porcelain enamel surface.
.. Use slightly warm soda water
to wash the inside of your refrigera-
tor Don't fail to wash both the inside
and the outside of the freezing unit.
The best time to do it is when you re
defrosting the refrigerator.
g. Wash the outside of the refrig-
orator with mild soap and water or
use a cleaning agent that isn't abrasive.
t. If YOU have rubber divders in
YOUR ice trays, wash them in luke
warm water, never Scald them.
5. Keep the coils or fins of the re-
frigeratng mechanism in the motor
compartment clean too. You can use
either Il stiff brush or the hand at
tachment of your vacuum cleaner.
6. DefroSt the cooling unit before
the ice on it is u inch thick.
Z. The motor Of an electric refrig-
orator should do its job operating
about One-thrd of the time, under aver
age temperature conditions. If it runs
more than this, except in very hot
weather. have Il service man check it.
1t may need only minor repairs.
s. Be sure the rubber gasket around
the door of the cabinet fits tightly.
An easy way to test this is to close
n new dollar bill in the door. If you
can pull it out easily when the door
is shut, there is too much leakage
around the doc edegeS: the door may
need adjustment, or the gasket may
have OF be replaced.
9. Follow the manufacturers direc-
tions for oiling the motor.
TO- Don't use Il sharp instrument
to remove ice trays. You may pune
ture the refrigerating coil or the try.

pamphlet ''Preventing Accidents in
Building Construction makes the fol-
lowing statement
"The building construction industry
as Il whole does not have Il good acci-
dent record. Among the 20 ma iOr in
dustries whose accident rates are com
piled each year by the Nationala Safe
ty Council, the construction industry
stands 9th with an accident frequency
rate of 34.S9 as compared with 1929
for all Industries. The building CON
struction industry alone has an acci-
dent frequency rate of CHS"
TO assist it i'm the preparation of
these safety regulations, the Board of
Standards and Appeals appointed an
advisory committee composed of rep
resentatives of employers and assoca-
tions in the industry, manufacturers
of equipment, casualty insurance com
panies, together with representatives
of the public and organized labor in
the construction and demolition in
duStrieS.
Big Loss Seen Reduced
Because of the comprehensive COW
erage of these safety regulations ell
comprising as they do, the prevention
of accidents in every phase of con-
structiOn and demolition operations, it
is expected that these New York state
rules will serve as a pattern for other
states where similar regulations have
not as yet been adopted, and will like
wise serve as a safety manual for the
Army and Navy Departments in super
visiting construction contracts.
"The board is confident" Chairman
Picard said, that with conscientious
compliance with these new rules on the
part of contractors in the building and
demolition industry, the appalling toll
of serious and fatal accidents, together
with the misery and suffering accom-
panying such accidents, not to speak
of the cost of insurance premiums,
labor turnover, interruption to and loss
of production, administration expenses
and loss of wages, will be materially
reduced throughout the state"

Higher PdY Asked
For Gloves, Mittens

Washington, ID. c. ULNS). - The
Gloves and MittenS Committee under
the Fair Labor Standards Act has rec
ommended unanimously that Il 40 cents
an hour minimum be established in this
industry in which approximately $4,000
workers are employed.
Ii is estimated that 10000 workers
will be given direct wage increases if
the recommended 40 cents minimum
hourly rate is approved by the Wage
and Hour Division, L. S. Labor De
partment. Since July 10, 1910, the man
ufacture of gloves and mittenS, other
than work gloves and mittenS, has been
at Il minimum of 30 cents an hour;
when that rate was set. it was eSti-
mated that 1000 workers received di-
rect pay increases. Since the same
date, the manufacture of work gloves
and mittens has had Il minimum hour
ly rate of 32H cents: when it was eS
tabliShed. it is estimated that approx
imately 5000 employees received wage
benefits.

Radio Dead|ine

WASHINGTON, April % (UP).
The War Production Board to-
day granted Is radio manufacture
ers permission to continue produc-
ton of civilian radios from one to
six weeks beyond the original
deadline of midnight tonight.
Production will stop, however,
in 80 of the SIS manufacturing
companies. The 80 companies pro-
duced approximately 81 per cent
of the civilian output, on a dollar
basis, last year.
Officials said that half of the
estimated 100000 sets expected
to be produced under the new ex-
tension order will be reserved for
export, as requested by the CO.
ordinator of inter-American af-
fairs and the lend-lease admins
tration.
WPB said 80 companies already
have war contracts for $3.50, 000,-
900.
The % companies which were
granted additional time for civilian
output fall into two classifications
officials said. Some companies
have war contracts to utilize their
entire capacity but need additional
time for retooling. Other concerns
received war contracts too late to
convert by midnight tonight.
