Tall Tale About Texas Turns Out Real One
Resolution Regrets Exist ence" Of Sen. O'Daniel
 In Public Life

AUSTIN, Tex.-When the union man of today is a gray-bearded grandfather and his sons son asks for story, could be he'll tell them about the good people of Texas, how they organized, got moving and gave the ax to political bad men like Martin Dies.
 Maybe he'll tell them this one about the convention meeting of Ward 2-C Democrats of Austin held at Windsor road fire hall and the reso- lution they passed "regretting the existence of w. Lee O'Daniel ill American public life" (W. Lee that's "Pass-the-Bisouits- -Pappy" o. Daniel, the former radio crooner who tried to bust unions from the floor of the U. s. Senate-the story would add).
 The resolution was introduced by a man named Herman Jones. He wanted the meeting to go on record simply ''regretting the existence of O'Daniel. At first the 43 Demo- crats present just laughed-almost split their sides laughing. Who ever heard of regretting the existence of senator? But Jones insisted he really meant it. He amended the resolution, adding the words Gin American public life.''
 'I'm serious about this thing, Jones said. "So far as I'm concerned he represents all that's evil" His lis teners thought about it, looked at each other, slowly nodded their heads and the resolution carried over only a few scattered votes of dissent.
 Right after that the delegates passed another resolution. This one contained nothing but words of praise. It asked Pres. Roosevelt to accept the nomination for a fourth term.

}5% Of US. Weapons Are Union-Made
Barbers To Fight
 Control Of Prices
Merino Rallies New England Locals To Oppose Price Limit On Barber and Beauty Services Say
 Painfully Made Gains Are At Stake

Connecticut barbers. as we'll as barbers throughout the nation, are opposed to placing the barber and beauty industries under price con- trol, and will fight this move with every resource at their command.
 This was learned today by The Union Times as the result of an interview with Anthony MerlinO of New Haven, third vice-president of the JOurneymen Barbers, Hair dressers and COsmetOlogists Inter- national Union of America.
 Merlino stated that all union bar bers, their local unions, and allied crafts are opposed to the projected measure, and called upon the locals not only to write their congresmen, but to have their central labor unions go on record against price control for the barber and beauty services.
 The following letter has been sent by Vice-President Merlino to all New England locals:
 ssOur General President Secre- tary-Treasurer, w. C. Birthright. informs me that Representative Crawford of Michigan has intro- duced an amendment before the House Banking and Currency Com mittee in Washington placing the barber and beauty industries under price control.
 "The barber and beautician serv- ices are not articles of commerce or commodities manufactured, processed Or sold. They are in the same cate gory as any other professional serv- ice such as dental, legal, medical, etc.
 ssAn immediate and vigorous protest must be made to the Craw- ford proposal not only by every local, but by individual members of our industry, to the Congressman from your district, the Congress- man-at-large and your two United States Senators. Unless action against this amendment is prompt and forceful it may be too late.
 l urge you not to allow any stone to be left unturned which would reduce the industry again to the level from which we have climbed as a result of slow, painful and difficult effort.
 Please send me copy of all reso- lutions, petitions, letters and tele- grams dispatched to your represen- tatives in both Houses of Congress by the Local and individuals within your jurisdiction"

Dave Beck Tells How To Achieve
 Plenty
Vice-President of Teamsters Stresses Need For Full
 Employment

If the nations resources, devel- Oped in wartime, are harnessed to the needs of the people in peace time, the U. s. can maintain a post war employment level of $ million and gross national income of $l65 billion, Vice Pres. Dave Beck of Intl. Bro. of Teamsters said this week.
 The west coast labor leaders views on postwar America, aired at the 18th annual meeting of the Ma tional Industrial Conference Board, were substantially indorsed by the industry spokesman at the session. President Ralph E. Flanders of the Jones & Lamson Machine CO. The two men differed, however, .on the immediate program needed to achieve a postwar economy of full employ ment and full production.
 ''It is now certain" Beck told the assembled industrfaIists, ''that our productive capacity can provide OCttCE MOunCSs DCttCE AOOU9 MOEc adequate clothing and medical care, finer communities and richer educational and cultural OppOrtuni- ties for all. Certainly there is no lack of demand for such improve ments and certainly it would take the employment of every able bodied individual to fulfill all such demands
 To assure immediate postwar full Beck proposed creation of a single federal reconversion agency with authority similar to that of the War Production Board, an adequate demobilization and educa- tional program for veterans and vast public works project.

 Is THIS our secret weapon?
 UNIONS may be curbed under wartime restraints from negotiat- ing general wage increases, but there's lots of elbow room for col lective bargaining, nonetheless.
 For example, the A. F. of L. Upholsterers' Union has just me- gOtiated an agreement with g manufacturers in Philadelphia, under which the companies will contribute 3 per cent of their pay rolls into unique union social security fund.
 That money will go toward pay ing medical bills and hospitaliza- ton for workers who fall ill-plus pay for time lost from work up to 60 per cent of the employees aver age earnings.
 Several unions in the needle trades industry have negotiated similar pacts, and the Musicians Union has signed up most record ing companies under a plan by which & fee from each reord is turned into a. unfOn-administered unemployment fund.
 FRANKLY, there seems to be no limit in the assignments covered by candid cameramen of the press these days-at least, in the HOl- lywood sector. To wit, this heading in the Philadelphia Inquirer: RITA HAYWORTH
