WON In SAN

SAN DIEGO, Calf - (FP) - Barely
averting a work stoppage similar to that
which closed the Bayonne, N. J. Times
and the Jersey City, N. j., Journal, an
agreement has been reached between
the San Diego Union-Tribune Publish
ing Co. and Local 22l, International
Typographical Union (AFL).
AS in the New Jersey cities, the San
Diego publishers had baked at incor-
porating the unions international laws,
adopted at the 1874 convention, into the
contract Negotiations dragged on for
weeks, until the union warned the man
agement of its intention to strike the
morning Union and the evening Tribune
sun. Day before the ultimatum expired
the publishers acceded to union demands
The company had objected particu-
larly to a demand that time and a half
be paid whenever printers have to work
sixth day in any one week, according
to union officials. The publishers had
insisted on straight time payment for
the sixth day,
San Diego's third daily, the Journal,

INDUSTRY IS
LABOR PARTY GOAL

WASHINGTON (FP)-Victory went
to labor in Britain July 26 when the

younger than Churchill He became a
Labor member Of parliament in 1921 and
held minor cabinet positions in the two
Labor cabinets after the last war. He
became head of the Labor party in 1885.
While Churchill is man Of great color
and oratorical yigor, Atlee is almost drab
by comparison. He has been frequently
criticized by his own followers for fail
ure to fight against some of Churchlrs
policies.

Treasurer Arthur Greenwood, Ernest
Bevin, who served the coalition govern
ment as minister of labor and national
service; Herbert Morrison, who was

miralty; Prof Harold Laski. Miss Ellen
Wilkison; Arthur Henderson; and Thom-

cialistic commonwealth of Great Britain"
with the naturalization of basic indus
try public ownership of the great Bank
Of England and ultimately, nationaliza-
ton of the land. It seeks planned pro
duction for common use" in order to
steer away from unemployment at home.
It calls for broader social services to
ensure adequate health, nutrition and
care in old age for everyone, and to pro-
vide full educational opportunity for all.
The Labor party favors a higher inter-
national standard of living in the be-
lief that the future economic and social
prosperity of British citizens is linked up
with the prosperity of all peoples.

RIGHT TO WORK
AMENDMENT
Is HIT AGAIN

WASHINGTON -FP)- Two more de-
cisions holding tht U. S. law is superior
to state laws or state constitutions. were
upheld by the National War Labor
Board July "a in cases involving AFL
unions
F1oridas Attorney General J. Tom
Watson interviewed in both instances, be-
cause of an amendment to the states
constitution providing that the right
of persons to work shall not be denied
or abridged on account of membership
or non-membership in any labor union
or labor organization"
The Florida official contended this
constitutional section barred a closed
shop provision in a contract between
Radio Station WFL, Miami, and the
Radio Broadcast Technicians an affili-
ate of the international Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers (AFD
In a second case he also intervened on
the same grounds in contracts between
the Tampa BOX CO., J. w. Young & Co.
and the Enterprise Box Co., all Of
Tampa, and the United Brotherhood Of
Carpenters CAFL), that called for the
standard WLB maintenance of member
ship clause
The WLB, in ordering the closed shop
for the radio station and maintenance
of membership in the box factories, said
the u s. law is supreme and quoted
Article VI, Sec. ?, OF the U. S. Consti-
tuition which provides
This Constitution and the laws of
the u S which shall be made in pur-
suance thereof or shall be made
under the authority Of the U S. 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 not
withstanding
In previous decision July 20, the
WLB ruled against the Florida law in
the case of the ST. Joe Paper Co., Port
st. Joe, Fla, in contracts with three
AFL unions providing for the voluntary
maintenance Of membership clause.

1t was the Conservative party that set
British foreign policy and through
Churchill, backed up reaetionary regimes
throughout the world.
The Conservatives, through Churchill.
have supported Gen. Francisco Franco
in Spain In 1885 this same Conserva-
tive party, with Anthony Eden as for
eign minister, drafted the notorious
"non-intewention policy" that worked
for Franco and against the legal, repub-
Ican government Of that unhappy ma
ton.
In Greece the Conservatives armed
the right-wing forces and backed them
up with British troops to carry out the
Churchill policy Of keeping down peoples
government. Supported by British gold
and British power, a coalition govern
ment of rightwing and centerist parties
rules the Greeks, who have not had
free election since 1886. Undoubtedly the
largest party in Greece is the EAM.
whose leaders were quite recently hunted
down by the English . and many shot
by fascist terrorists spuTed by Britain's
attitude.
The encouraging and surprising rise of
the British Labor party will come like
breath of fresh air to the liberals of
Spain and Greece. It will instill new
hope in the democrats of other nations
and re-kindle the spark that some day
will bring independence to the 400 mil
lion people who inhabit the worlds
largest colony-India.
India is ruled by British capital. A
nation with a living standard ranking
among the worlds lowest is kept in sub
lection by the princes, landlords and
capitalists through a British viceroy
whose executive council members are
paid $4,000 annually-more than U. S.
cabinet members receive.
The British elections will have an
effect on the U. S. that cannot be mea-
sured at this time. One benefit, how
ever, is now apparent.
A Labor government in Britain, with
its program of naturalization of the
railroads and utilities, of liberalism in
politics both national and worldwide,
means that imperialism and reaction
have been dealt heavy blow. 1t cuts
the ground from under the tired liberals
here in America-from men such as Ken
meth G. Crawford.

once national president of the American

NEW YORK. - (FP) 49, The nations
railroads are going to find it tough to
cry poverty this year when the rail-
road brotherhoods come up with their
bid for wage increases for some 100000
workers.
Railroad Notes, monthly publication Of
Labor Research Association, reported the
railroad companies Golfers filled to the
bursting over point, just as two rail
unions put forth demands for 25go wage
increases to lead off a national wage
drive by the brotherhoods.

months of 1945 had net profits, after
interest, taxes and other charges, Of
S264 million, Railroad Notes estimated
This compares with S258,127 532 in the

Western companies reported the great
est rise, as result of wartime traffic

Rowing Reporters

Mr.. Amsterdam fixed all that
and tried out the song on the
audiences Of his m o n n g
"Gloom Dodgers" program over
a local New York station.
Eventually Harry Link of Leo
Feist, ms, an old song writer
himself, saw possibilities in the
piece. But he agreed to publish
it with one large misgiving.
For he knew that, although local
radio stations might not object,
the song be broadcast. And he
was right.
The reasons were two. First,
the title contained the word
rum" That would never do,
for the random radio waves
travel Unfortunately, even In
to dry states where rum is a hor-
rid word. Second, the title con-
tanned free advertising. Any
time a salable product is men,
toned on the networks some
body is supposed to be billed for
it. (The networks didn't object
to the word land" in the title.)
Nobody knows exactly why
the song has been such q hit, be-
yond the obvious fact that peo-
pie like it. But Mr.. Link has
an explanation for its extraor-
binary sheet music sale.
people can't memorize 1t
quickly" he says. 1T has a lot
of verses, and some strange
names of places in Trinidad that
they can't catch from the re-
cords. So they buy the music.
Now take Marry Doats,' which
we also published. We woke up
one morning to find that the
daily sales had dropped from the
ten thousands to the hundreds
over night. Why? Everybody
had learned the words"
Besides making current song
hit history, the Trinidad hit has
caused some stable ripples on
the surface of several careers.
Among the most prominently af-
fected are:
Mr.. Amsterdam-He's now
getting flattering offers to col
laborate with prominent song
writer's who never heard Of him
two months ago. He's also get

NEW YORK-Morey Amster-
dam, a comedian and gag man
by profession, has written one
song. Its title is Rum and Coca
Cola" And it's a hit, as any
paid-up member Of luke Box
Society will tell you.
But If any aspiring young
songsmith should ask Mr.. Am
sterdam the way to overnight
fame and fortune, he would in
all honesty have to give him the
following directions:
Sing your song on the radio
and have it fall on your listen
ers' ears with a dull thud.
Take the song home and for
get it for several months.
Then hunt it up and start ped
ding it to publishers.
Have it turned down by eight
of them.
When you finally do find one
who will take chance (this is
about a year after your compost
tons radio premiers), contrive
to have the song barred from
that indispensable medium of
popularity, the radio networks.
That's known as doing it the
hard way. But having followed
that discouraging path, the new
hit tune is approaching the half
million mark in sheet music
sales, and the publishers expect
to sell 100000. It's first record
ing, by the Andrews Sisters, is
expected to find 100000 GUS
toners before it's through. And
four or five records by other
artnsts, current or forthcoming,
should at least equal that figure
In combined sales.
All of which is quite sur
price to everybody concerned,
especially Mr.. Amsterdam. He
and his wife, the movie actress
Mabel Todd, finished up there
after a 1O-weeks USO tour Of
Pacific and Caribbean bases.
The song was popular with both
soldiers and natives. The words
needed to be cleaned and reno
waited. And the tune needed a
calypso character more appro.
pirate to its point of origin.
