Unionism Offers CoodOppOrtunity ForMakingLiviing
Study Shows Chance For Success Is Better Than
 In Business

Washington (LPA) - Opportuni- ties for the bright working class boy as well as for the educated middle class youngster are greater today in the trade union movement than ill business.
 That is the finding of a study published in the current issue of the Public Opinion Quarterly, Ti- tied ''The Trade Union Leader: A Collective Portrait" the analysis reached these conclusions: "(D- The majority of trade union lead CTS have worked as laborers in the industries with which they later dealt as union officials; (2)-The majority took their first union jobs with local; (3) From this local there are two rather segregated routes upward, one leads to the top of national or international union, the other leads to the top of a state federation; (4)-After he has arrived the trade union leader attains a salary which is de- finitely in the top brackets. Thus, he may typically display some of the psychological trends associated with 'self-made' men.''
 The greater opportunities for youth in the union movement, the study continues, are Suggested by the greater proportion of men of lower ocupational origin who are at the top in trade unions as compared with business and probably government positions of comparable income and power; by the younger age at which the trade union leader attains these positions"
 If present trends continue, &C., cording to the study, Eve may ex- pect that the climb to success in unions will require better edu. cation, and we may expect more able young men to follow the trade union route to positions of power. At the present time, labor's leadership contains a greater pro- portion of the sons of laborers than any other group of compar- able income ."

Texas Tries To Make Veterans Fight Strikers
Vicious Tactics Against Electricians, Striving For
 Union Recognition

Austin, Tex. (LPA)-The most disreputable attempt by any state since the beginning of the war to sci returning servicemen and union mem bers against each other occurred last week.
 When 1O3 employees of the state. controlled Lower Colorado River Authority, members of the Int'l Brotherhood of Electrical Work. ers-AFL, went on strike and closed down four hydrOeIectric plants the general manager of the River Au. thOrity offered their jobs to vet. erans. The strikers will not be re. employed, moreover, declared Max Starcke, the manager. His union. busting position was supported by Gov. Coke Stevenson. Sole issue in the walkout was the right of LCRA's workers to organize and bargain collectively. The Authority argued that it had no power to deal with unions. Electric power was restored after 36 hours to the 24 towns affected.
 Gov. Stevenson, in addition to up holding Starcke's refusal to rehire the strikers, promised that he would send in large numbers of armed guards" if necessary. A near-vigi- lante spirit was aroused as 40 citi- zens near one small town were depu- tized to watch transmission lines with shotguns and rifles.

Electric Boat
 Now Operating Under Contract
Groton Firm Signs Agree ment With Metal Trades
 Department

For the first time in its more than half century of existence, the big Electric Boat Company of Groton Conn.,, with 6,000 employees, is now operating under a bona fde union contract, says Labor"
 Throughout its history, the com. pany, which manufactures subma. rines for the government, has beer 'Open shop" or dealt with a ''com pany union." Some months ago, A. F. of L. Metal Trades Unions, in ar election, defeated the dummy union and later, in another poll swamped the C. I. O.
 Negotiations which have been un- der way since then have now culmi- mated III an agreement, Secretary Treasurer J. J. McEntee of the A. F of l.. Metal Trades Department re vealed this week.
 Among its features, the pact pro vldes for union security" seniority protection, modern grievance ma Chinery, paid vacations of up to two weeks annually, five holidays off witt pay and wages at two and a hal times the regular rate for work ot such days. Basic wage rates remain to be negotiated, but when agreed upon will be retroactive to July 24

Hollywood Glitter
 Is Just Propaganda

\ Los Angeles (LPA)-The fabu- lous richness of Hollywood's glamour girls and boys is purely mythical, ac- cording to a statement by the Screen Actors Guild, and their job security is practically nil.
 The great majority of screen ac- tors, the union points out, are free lance players who work from studio to studio and from picture to picture. Although they may receive fairly high wages per day or week, their annual income is small since they usually are employed for only short period of time.
 The union has revealed the start ling fact that 758o of all screen actors earn under $4000 a year. It bases its statement on a survey recently com pleted by Leo Rosten for the Carne- gie and Rockefeller Foundations.
 The survey showed that actually the annual earnings of screen actors whose weekly salaries ranged up to $500 a week was only $2O00 year and that approximately 20@o of all screen actors earn between $2000 and $4OO0 year.
 The Screen Actors Guild is asking for a wage increase for its members which, it states, represents the first increase in basic wage rates in eight years.

BETTER PRODUCTION

BETTER PRODUCTION
 Employers never raise wages unless they are forced to- he said. ''High wages and high pro- ductiOn are synonomOus. Profits increase with an increase in wages. Higher wages cause better produce tiOn."
 McDonough is a director in the U. s. Smaller War Plants Corp. and during the war produced steel inva- sion boats, cutting the cost to the U. s. from over $25,O00 to $12,OO0- the lowest figure in the country while at the same time paying the highest wages.
 This unusual business executive said I have seen wages increase from 2Oc an hour to $l, and the end cost of the product in our line is less than it was 40 years ago. He credits this to improved meth Ods and mechanizatiOn.
 Elaborating on his wage theory, McDonough said q have never seen an increase in wages freely granted in competitive field. Wages necessary to sustain life in good standard of living will not be paid by some en- ployerS unless it is obligatory"

Veterans Chief Desire Is A Good
 Job-Cen. Bradley
American Veterans Com mittee All Out For Full,
 Employment

WASHINGTON - CPD - The opinion that ''the most important thing for any veteran is the Oppor. tunity to employ his talents and abilities to gainful effort'' was ex. pressed by Gen. Omar Bradley. ad ministrator of veterans affairs. at a House hearing on the full en plOyment bill. The same position was taken by representatives of the American Veterans Committee and the Disabled American Veterans. Avoiding any direct commitment on the bill (S. 380), Bradley said he was interested in condition which avoids depression and insures work tor all our citizens-veterans and non veterans alike" Bradley also testified in the Senate hearings on the bill
 The American Veterans Commit tee, newest of the veterans organ izatiOns with 1000 members, be. lieves that ''what is good for the country is good for the veteran said Ex.-Sec. Edward McHaIe, eve put the country first and veterans secOnd." Although prefering the original bill, HR 22O2, to the wa, tered-dOwn, Senate passed s 38O, McHale said AVG felt it was the first step towards winning the battle for full employment!'' 3
 Representing the DAV, Service Di- rector Willard Rice said the disabled Veterans would not be fully employed either through super-seniority rights which would effect only 1/10th of 196, or through federal preferences. "Only the right kind of economic atmos- phere and such action as will make full employment for all' will mean work for the disabled, he said, call ing them marginal workers" (the last to be hired and the first to be fred).
 Disabled veterans were disap- pointed by lack of planning when VI day arrived and they now expect the president, with the cooperation of Congress, to be responsible for some extensive job planning, Rice said.

tives, the Ward Aldermen, when that body holds a Public Hearing on the Budget.
 October 18th at PM. is the date that has been set by that body in the Hearing Room at the Hall of Records on Orange Street, but early notices from interested organizations indicate that one of the High Schools may have to be used to provide seating facilities for the many friends of city employees who have rallied to sup port the wage fight for a decent 1iv- ing standard for city workers.
 COMMUNITY SUPPORT
 Representatives of the League of Women Voters, various P re mt Teachers Associations, Mothers Clubs of the various Schools, as we'll as the fighting support shown by the AFL and CIO labor groups are planning to conduct the largest demonstration ever seen by the Board of Aldermen on the night of the Public Hearing.
 The Civic Advisory Board to the City Locals, nOn-partisan group of citizens under the chairmanship of the Rev. Father Edward Shea, Pastor of St. Bernadette's Church, at a dinner meeting held at the Hotel Taft on last Wednesday eve- ming, completed plans for that group to lead the fight at the pulp lie hearing.
 TEACHERS PROBLEMS
 The Teachers League has merely asked for the appointment of Com mittee from the Board of Educa- ton to meet with a Committee of Teachers to draw up modern sys- tenn, whereby regardless of the type of school, teachers receive equal pay based on professional training and ex- perience.
 The endeavOrs of the Teachers to discuss salary schedules has long been met by refusaIs by the Board of Education. A single salary schedule as presented by the Teachers in place of the OutmOded salary system, which pauperizes the elementary teachers, would help to attract efficient recruitment to the New Haven School System.
 At present the best teachers are re- fusing to take posts in the elementary grade schools because of the wide dis crepancy in pay rates. This archaic system has forced the Superintendent to attempt to go outside of the City for low paid teachers to accept vacant posts.
 ParsimOnOus' practices by the School Board has placed teachers in a humiliating and embarrassing financial condition and beyond

Full Attendance Is Needed At Hearing

An urgent appeal to members of organized labor i'm New Ha- ven to attend the aldermanic hearing on the city budget for l946 was issued today by Vim cent J. McCovern, president of the N. H. Central Labor Coun- ell. The hearing will be held in the Hall of Records, Orange St., Friday, Ger. I9 at 8 PM.
 ''The city employees unions are deserving of every ounce of support we can give them," McCovern said. ''They are un- derpaid, and their working con- ditiOns are, in many cases, sub- standard. We must all be at the hearing and register our firm belief that the Board of Alder men do everything in" it's power to help them."
