Labor Agencies
Stalled For Funds

w A S H l n G. T IN, June 80
(LPA)-It seemed clear this
week that government labor
agencies will still be operating
on shoestring as a result of
Congressional appropriations for
the fiscal year starting July /.
The conference report on the
Labor-Federal Security Fund
bill was still stalled by the Bilbo
filibuster against FEPC, but it
was expected to eventually be
approved by both Houses.
Funds for the National Labor
Relations Board will probably
mean even further delay in their
election cases, which now take
about 200 days, and will take
about 800 days with the cut in
NLRB funds.

Maintenance of membership has
been awarded to a local of the
Textile Workers Union-CIO even
though the international union
renounced and later reaffirmed
the no-strike pledge.
Although the local TWUA
union at the Industrial Cotton
Mills, Rock Hill, S. c., did not
engage in any work stoppage the
company claimed that because
the TWUA had repudiated the
no-strike pledge it had removed
the basis on which the Boards
policy rests in regard to mainte-
nance of membership.

Shipworkers Win
Increase

ASHIN TON, June 80
(LPA)-More than 1000 CIO
and AFL ship repair workers in
ID southern California shipyards
last week won a three year
battle for a 11.69o wage differ
entail on repair work.
Aided by the vigorous sup
port of the entire west coast
delegation in ngress, the
union finally won the differen-
tial which has been paid to re-
pair workers in all west coast
shipyards from San Francisco
north for several years.
The WLB's refusal until now
to eliminate the differential has
been primarily responsible for
the manpower shortage in south

Safeway Tells
Stockholders Of
Company Plans

A unique method of giving
stockholders an insight into post
war problems and plans is included
in the 1914 annual report of Safe
way Stores, Inc. Ten pages of
man-to-man discussion covering the
future outlook for the company,
its war problems and its plans for
veterans and present employees
follow the usual financial infor-
nation. The artices are reprints
of messages to Safeway employees
which had appeared in a recent
issue of Uno Amino, company en-
ployee publication.
G. l. Joes and James are assured
that returning veterans will re-
ceive all of the rights which are
lawfully theirs, and that the com
pany will go further than the
benefits established by the Selec-
tive Service Act. Every effort
will be made to place a veteran
without reinstatement rights in
his old job. Through training
schools already in operation, the
returned veteran will be given an
opportunity to capitalize on new
abilities which he may have de-
veloped in the Service.

Sellers, USMC,
Recovering From
Battle Wound

George r. Sellers, HA 1/C is re-
covering from recent wound re-
ceived while serving with 5th Ma
rines in the South Pacific. His
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Sell
ers, did not know their son had
been wounded until they received
his letter this week 1T had been
a long time since we heard from
him and we were mighty worried"
Mr.. Sellers said; "but we didn't
know what had happened until
his letter came"
The outstanding message George
sends them, is that he will be all
right and does not want them to
worry. my leg is getting well
fast and maybe l can walk on it
pretty soon" He is not on the
hospital ship with which he was
serving, George says, but is at a
hospital in the Mariannas. They
have good care and pretty good
food. Some of the boys who were
wounded were sent back to the
States "and l sure hope they send
me back, too. l guess the war
is over for me for a while and on
this Island where | am it sure rains
a lot, but it is not too hot here.
| sure was glad to get off that is
land where | got wounded. but
think I did enough to the Japs to
make up for shooting me in the
leg. We sure did kill a lot of
them. | spent 16 days on the
front lines and it was a bad 16
days"
Sellers enlisted in the Navy in
December of 1943 when he was IT.
He was later transferred to the
Marine Hospital Corps and sent to
field medical school at Camp
Pendleton, California He went
overseas in January of 1945, be-
ing wounded soon after he arrived
at destination. Sellers has made
his home in Coolidge for the past
II years He has a brother, John
Sellers, serving in the Navy.

But what about the people who
have taken jobs with Safeway
since l left?" asks the &c. |. Joe"
in one article. The companys s
reply is that "even if the number
of people employed by Safeway
were to remain the same after the
war, as before, there would be a
place for thousands of wartime
employees who had made good
since joining the company. In any
case, the combination of normal
turnover of personnel, in relation
to the anticipated rate of discharge
from the armed services would
provide openings for qualified in
dividuals in both the veteran and
non-veteran groups.

 "The man with the coffee cups appeared again." writes Hanley in rhis report of the entrance into the Philippines capital. '"He approached the nearest CT kneeling behind a concrete corherstone. Coffee, sir he asked the infantryman.
 "The CT angrily growled at the friendly civilian, You can get hurt out here, Joe,' he said.
 "The Filipino answered.: T know. We Filipinos are so happy to see you. We have waited so long for you to come and with the Japanese it was not easy. We would gladly die for you now that you are here.
