VETS live In TENTS

TRENTON. NJ J-FPl Pres r. j.
Thomas Of United Auto Workers (CIO)
took time off from the biggest strike
In the nation to lash out at building
and loan iratermGes for what he termed
"a sitdowu strike on postwar housing
at a statewide housing conference here.
"}tbile our veterans are doubling up,
living in mheated garages filling fa-
tions and even pup tents, the pressure
boys OF the building industry are sitting
by rabing IN super-profits," said
Thomas, who is also chairman Of the
National Go Committee on housing.
Addressing conference called by
the Trento Citizens committee, Thomas
underlined the need for immediate hous-
ing as a source of Jobs "We know
that it takes men, working in factories"
he said, Ito make the parts which the
carpenters, the masons and the plumb
ers put together to make a house And
we know that without an enormous
expansion in home construction. we
cannot have enough Jobs in America" "
Thomas enthusiastically il ndors d
housing bill B-1592 introduced by SEN
ators Wagner Ellender and that man
Taft" While it contained weaknesses,
he said, the bill was so far ahead Of
all previous housing laws that it de-
serves the real support of every Ameri-
can citizen"
Before leaving Trenton, Thomas
stopped by to greet the piclets at the
Trenton Ternstedt plant, a division of
General Motors. The strikers have
a 24-hour picket line which
not one scab has been able to cross.
Ternstedt officials, who appealed to
Ewing township police for an increased
force to man the plant, were turned
down because there has been no show
of violence to warrant such an addi-
ton"

NAM ENTERED In
.PARLEY SET TO
Get ANTILABOR LAWS

NEW YORK -(FP)- The Notl Assn.
Of Manufacturers went into the current
labor management conference wit its
mind made up in advance that Congress
must modify labor laws now on the
books regardless Of what agreements
might be reached in the conference.
In a letter to members OF his organi-
zation Oct p, two weeks before the
conference opened in Washington, NAM
President, Ira Mosher warned against
expecting too much Of the voluntary
actions to be taken at the conference
and said that all the nations indust-
rial relations problems could not be
Solved effectively until we have a
substantial modification of the federal
labor legislation now upon the books"
Paying verbal tribute to the con
viction that this conference warrants
industry's most sincere endeavors,' he
nevertheless enclosed a 4-page question
aire heavily loaded with questions sug-
gesting the outlawing Of strikes, cooling
off periods, compulsory arbitration,
federal labor courts, denial Of Wagner
act rights TO unions violating contracts,
and fines and assessments for contract
violation.
First question was whether employers
believed collective bargaining is de-
sirable, from an economic viewpoint,
a social viewpoint, both or neither.
Most Of the proposals on which Mosh-
sr agreed asked employers answers are
included in the restrictive legislation
now being proposed in Congress, with
out waiting for the end of the confer
ence.
Answers to the questionaire, Mosher
assured his members, would be kept
confidential and the data would be for
use Of management representatives only.

increase in Unemployment which fol-

the Is industries dropped 1873 per cent
below the August figure and we're 30.3

The decline between August and

Helena High School"
To these charges the school trustees
made no reply.
Graham continued arguing the mer-
its for reinstating Miss Eastman, but
the Board remained silent to Graham's
appeal
Then when they were asked why
they would not speak on the subject,
one of the members OF the Board stat
ed eve are leaving the whole subject
up to the court to decide" Then what
was the use of calling the meeting ?"
Graham replied.
A few remarks were made by some
of the members of the Board.
After being with the Board for an
hour, Graham turned to the members
of the committee and said "Well, boys,
we have met with the employers, have
given them our complaint and asked
them for a hearing, but they will not
say word In reply, while acting pa
tiently with US they will not deal with
with US It appears that we are up
against conspiracy of silence. What
shall we do?" The members of the
committee said "Let us go home" and
the committee left the meeting.
The committee members have ex-
pressed themselves about the meeting
that it was the first time they ever
met with employers on collective bar
gaining where the. employers never
made reply.
However, Labor has gained much in
formation meeting with the Helena
trustees.
On April 10th, the committee from
the Helena Trades and Labor Council
attended a meeting Of the School
Board as to their proceedings as there
We're rumors around that the Board
intended dispensing with the services
of Miss Eastman When it came time
for adjournment, one Of the members1
of the Board made a motion that the
Board adjourn to meet at the call Of
the Chairman, to discuss a Junior High
School The motion was seconded and
carried.
The Board met on April oath but
did not discuss a Junior High School
for Helena, but took action to cancel
The contract with Miss Eastman
Positive evidence has been secured
that the Minutes Of the Meeting of
April 21st, have been tampered with
and contains acts which were never
considered by the Board while in ses-
sion Further after the meeting was ad
iourned on April 2lst, a rump meet
ing was held loter at which it was de-
clded to put material IN the Minutes
which did not take place while the
Board was in session 49,. 49,. 49,.
Further the law Of Montana pro-
vides that all School Boards of the
first class must hold a meeting on the
third Saturday of April, which was
April 2lst, this year and organize the
Board The Helena Board did not COM |
ply with the law in this case. The Board
met April 10Th and oath, as a special
meeting but disregarded the law by not
meeting April 2lst, at which meeting
Miss Eastmans contract might have /
been considered
1T does appear that the Helena
School Board not only did not comply
with the law Of the state as far as
holding a legal meeting but also paid no
attention to parliamentary law during
their meeting
The court held hearing November
10Th on the Eastman case and have
