Flower
ShowMemo
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor

A MEETING that most of
you would have liked TO attend
was held yesterday, here in De-
troit. Some 60-odd women, from
half that many garden clubs,
gathered TO be instructed in
their duties as guides for the
spring flower show sponsored
jointly by the Detroit Garden
Center and the ]. L. Hudson
Co, to be held March 19
through "a on the twelfth floor
of the j. l.. Hudson Co. store.
Under the tutelage of Mrs. +.
II. Althans of Highland Park.
the guides-to-be went through
the plan of each garden and
learned just which plants are
TO be located where. Not only
were they taught the English
name of each, but also the Latin
one, so that visitors wanting
to buy duplicates for their own
gardens might get just the right
plant.

armed forces, about 80 per cent
of their pork production.
Mr.. Pollock further explained
that the armed forces must
select meats not only from "a
nutritional standpoint of keep
ing quality during the weeks.
and possibly months spent in
shipment to front lines and far
flung battle fronts. For these
reasons, military supplies are
made up principally of the solid
meats so many of us here at
home may like-such as beef,
pork, hams and bacon.
tary requirements for
meats have been increasing
month by month, said the re-
gional director. Supply lines are
getting longer, requiring more
food GermanyS cut through
on the Western Front took its
toll of food supplies. Australia
has been furnishing a large part
of meat for the Pacific war, but
now Australia has a serious
drought and livestock losses.
Demands Increase
At the same time, military de-
mandS are increasing, market
ings are declining. Current
receipts of hogs at II market!
are less than half what they
were a year ago. The combined
slaughter of cattle, calves, hogs
and sheep for January decreased
more than two million head
from January a year ago.
Total meat production during
recent weeks has been running
% as large as the production
for the corresponding period a
year ago.
mo Improvement in civilian
supplies of meat is expected be-
fore next fall" Mr.. Pollock said.
I'm fact, it is quite likely that
the situation will become in
CreaSingly worse, re h ing
greatest intensity in August"

Pronunciation

Pronuneiations were checked
with botanical authorities, for
in several eases there are two
or three commonly used pronun-
Citations, only one of which is
really correct. Naturally the
guides want TO be right.
Then, Mrs. Althans had pre-
pared in advance a number OF
questions that she and others
consider most likely TO be asked
of the guideS-questions relating
mostly TO hardness and grow
ing conditions, blooming times
outdoors and the like. These
were talked off TO the garden
club folks, together with the
correct answers. Naturally there
was quite some discussion in
this part of the meeting.
Well Informed
You must remember that all
of the material which will be in
bloom at the show has to be.
forced in the greenhouse and
that day or two of hot sun,
or several days of rain may
make all the difference between
having certain plants in bloom
on time, or having them past
their peak.
Therefore, the guides-t -to-be
have to know about both the
plants that are at present Sched-
uled for the gardens and also
those that may have to be stfb-
stituted at the last moment.
1t was decided that a single
guide could conduct party of
from 10 to II Peepie-no larger,
so that each person in the group
would be able to hear the guide
and to ask questions. Three or
more tours will be conducted
each day during the show. There
will also be information avail
able at the Garden Center booth
for those who wish TO see the
show alone.

Regional Director S
View on Meat Situation
BY PRUDENCE PENNY

AMERICAN -HQMEE1Ai-IAKE1RsS-
and operators of restaurants and
other feeding services are find
ing it increasingly difficult TO
get meat - particularly in the
better grades. This situation is
the result of growing war re-
quirements and decreased mar
keting of meat animals.
First things come first" said
f. o. Pollock. regional director
of the WFA, land right now the
first thing for all of us is win
ming the war-both in Europe
and in the Pacific. To do this,
we need fighting men in first
class shape-men who have all
they need of the things they
need, such as guns, planes, ships
and food"

A. F. of L. Breoks Negotiations

In the early sessions the Metal Trades negOtia- tiOns held with the Management of the Electric Boat Company on the contract the company showed every evidence of wishing to cooperate in getting the contract negotiated and in force possible. It was agreed by both the Company and the AF of l. that negotiating meetings would be held daily during the following hOurs 1O:OO a. m. to II p. m, and no publicity unless jointly released The Union started in good faith and expected that the company was doing likewise, but all bets off.
 The company began the first long delays by ask ing for time out to have clerical and stenOgraphic work completed on their counter-prOposals There were delays and more delays, the E. B. Company through it's spokesman, Donald Waugh, director of industrial relations finally asking that the negotiat- ing committees should sit only four hours daily Af- ter arguments with the Union this because the WORKERS OF THE ELECTRIC BOAT COMPANY WERE WORKING THEN WITHOUT BENEFIT OF CONTRACT, a new schedule of hours was agreed upon from to 80 D. m., and ZOO to 1O:3O p. m.
The sub., 1945-08-09

The very day after tnlS agree ment, Waugh again asked for de- lay and promised that this would be the last and that the material he was gathering together would be of mutual benefit to both the Un- ion and the company. This was granted and the company asked to further expedite matters that the Union agree to a three man com mittee on both sides so that mat ters could be adjusted quickly and then referred back for acceptance or disapproval of our full commit tees. This was done, Bernard Ez- haya, Int'l Boilermakers for the Metal Trades, Alfred Farina, Pres. of the local Metal Trades, and Pet CT Stuart, Int'l MacElinists, AF of l. represented the Unions committee. It was further agreed mutually that agreement or disagreement would be final and binding.
 The Unions committee after one session with management reported back to the Unions committee that they had made more substantial progress than in the almost two weeks spent by the full committees The outlook was very hopeful for real gains to the workers at the Electric Boat Company. Our com mittee came to an agreement on the terms, BUT THE COMPANY'S COMMITTEE RENEGED. The pro- posals had turned about face and the Company wasn't giving any, thing, in fact 1t was asking for the good character of the Union nego- tiators for a mess of pottage. This is what they offered.
 The Union could have been granted full seniority rights for stewards and Union officers, but NO SENIORITY FOR THE REST OF OUR WORKERS! All stewards and officers dismissed would have been rehired and given the sum of $4, 10000 to divide up between them, with the added gift of vaca- tion pay and the July 4th pay. The Company would also have granted @ check off of voluntary Union

Only one of the sell-out points was the SAME VACATION PAY DAYS GRANT ED THE INDEPENDENT. UNION BUT WITH THE FOLLOWING limitations-A WORKER MUST BE AT WORK THE DAY BEFORE AND THE DAY FOLLOWING THE SAID HOLIDAY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE HIS TIME AND ONE HALF MONEY!
 THE PAYOFF IN THIS SMELLY PROPOSAL IS THAT THE GRIEV- ANCE MACHINERY OF THE SMEU WAS DRESSED UP IN SLOW MOTION so that THE DE- LAYS IN THE SETTLEMENT OF SIMPLE GRIEVANCES WAS IN. CREASED TO % DAYS!
 The Union officials were speech less with the unmitigated gall of this "PRINCELY OFFER" turned it down tersely and breaking off negotiations according to agree ment, promptly asked for Concil- iator.
 Yesterday afternoon, Wednesday the 9th of August, 1945, at p. m. the Conciliator started sitting with Union and Management. Watch closely for developments in the near future.

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

If all the people in Mississippi could vote MT. Theodore Bilbo, United States Senator from Missis- sippi, might miss up on his seat in the Senate next term. A long-term enemy of the people, Ku Klux Klansman, and admirer of Mus solini, Mr. Bilbo's antics in the Senate of the United States are an insult to the millions of Americans who have sacrificed so much in this war for freedom. The most re- cent of MT. Bilbo's outbursts against the common man of A1n- erica was in letter to Miss Jos ephine Piccolo, New York war worker of Italian extraction. Miss Piccolo wrote to Senator Bilbo pro- testing his filibuster against the Fair Employment Practices Bill and received a letter in reply ad- dressed Dear DagO." This term of contempt is not only an insult to Miss Piccolo who lost one brother in the war and has two more serv- ing but to the one million Italian boys in the army of the United States who are fighting and dying to wipe out the philosophy of racial and religious superiority. It is not only an attack upon Italian Ann ericans who have helped build Am erican democracy but upon all Ann ericans of foreign extraction. For Senator Bilbo no doubt has similar terms of endearment for other minority groups, including Catho- lies, Jews, and negroes. No. MT. Bilbo's narrow ignorant views have no place in 8 country where ltal- ians, Poles, Greeks, Catholics, Jews, Negroes, and Protestants and all other religious and foreign born groups can live together in peace and prosperity. The war has brought home more strongly than ever the necessity for unity of all peoples, unity within the country and without. There is no room here for the hate mongers of the Bilbo type. How can we begin to get rid of the Bilbos? By passing the Anti Poll Tax Bill which would enable people in the South too poor to pay the poll-tax to vote. This would be a real step forward in the direction of busting Bilbo and all others of the same link.

FI0ridG BGn On Union Shop Upset By NWLB m Important Test Case

Washington, D. C.-In an impor- tant test case, the National War La- Dor Board ruled that Federal laws lnvalidate the Florida State Con- stitut;onal ban on the closed shop. This was decisive first-round vic tory for the American Federation of Labor in legal fight which is expected to go all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States for final decision.
 Rejecting a petition by the Attor- pey General Of Florida, the board upheld maintenance-of-union membership directive from the Regional WLB at Atlanta in a case involving three AFL unions at the
The sub., 1945-08-09

Port St. Joe Florida) paper mill. Industry members diSsented.
 J. Tom Watson, the State Attor- ney General, asked the NWLB to intervene because of a state con- stitutional amendment adopted last November. A United States district court recently held the amendment valid.
 The paper mill did not appeal from the regional board mainte- nance-of-memberShip directive, but the state itself took up the issue.
 The NWLB, in its decision, held that the War Labor Disputes Act is supreme when in conflict with
The sub., 1945-08-09

either state law or state constitu- ton.
 In reaching it's decision the board said it was guided by Article 6, Sec ton 2, of the United States Const1- tuition, which states:
 "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof or which shall be made under the au- thority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding"
 The AFL holds that the Florida amendment violates the Federal Constitutions guarantees of free dom of contract as well as the Ma tional Labor Relations Act and the War Labor Dispute Act, under which the NWLB derives its sta- tutory authority to act in labor dis putes which threaten to interfere with the war effort.
 Under the standard maintenance of-membership clause, workers are allowed IS days to decide whether to withdraw from union. Those remaining members must keep up their union dues for the duration of the contract or lose their jobs.
 The first agreement between the Florida company and the unions in 1889 contained a union security clause. The concern makes Sulphate kraft linerboard, corrugated board and kraft pulp. The WLB said that three other comparable paper mills in Florida had full union-shop agreements reached through nego- tiations. The three unions involved
 in the decision are the International Brotherhood of Paper Makers, In- ternational Brotherhood of Electric al Workers and International Asso-
 citation of Machinists. Together they represent about 450 workers.

VILLAGE TREES
TO BE TRIMMED

Trenton Fire Chief Cameron
Waldorf recommended TO the viii
lage council that Trenton ask the
County road commission forestry
department to trim trees on West
jefferson avenues between King
and Sibley roads.
In his recommendation, Chief
Waldorf stated that tree branches
are endangering wires on the fire
alarm signal system as we'll as those
of the police recall system.
Maintenance on the highway is
under the jurisdiction of the county
and the village will be required
to pay costs of the tree trimming
it was pointed out. Leslie A. Doan
village engineer, will contact the
county commission and contract
for the work.

amendment drafts.
The changes will include the set
ting of speed limits on West JEFF
ferson avenue and West road out
side the business areas at 35 miles
per hours and in business districts
at 25 miles per hour. Provision is
also made for stop streets on Vree-
land, Van Horn and King roads
not covered by the previous ordi-
nance; on Maple street. established
as a fire route and at Elm and
Fifth street where Fifth terminates
in a dead end.
Elimination of parking rights in
front of Trenton schools was also
suggested. The proposal is to be
discussed with the school district
officials.
Councilman Aaron simmons sug-
gested that traffic speeds be
painted on roadways, particularly
at the change of zones. He also
suggested a regulation to permit
right hand turn off West JET
ferson avenue on to st. Joseph ave-
nue. after a stop on the red light.
Traffic often jams at this cor
ner," he said, because of the num-
Der of cars which make the turn
on st. Joseph
Elimination of stop at River
side drive and Walnut streets was
proposed at the same time.
Drafts of weight and load linn
itationS for truck traffic will also
be incorporated into the ordinance
and will conform with the state
law. For main highways the pro-
visions are those of the state code
while for residential districts, the
minimum state requirements have
been adopted.

revealed a well-developed

of the colon, which caused
additional pressure on the
