"Yes sir" said Mr. Dilworth, that's
really big news"
The fact that Congress won't do
anything about Jobs or jobless pay and
has gone back to worrying about how
to cut corporation taxes" asked Little
Luther.
That's not a question, Luther; that S
statement and a very unfair one, too
| may say. You sound like a heckler
trying to embarrass the better element
in a town hall debate"
You sound like a stuffed shirt with
the stuffing dripping out" retorted his
son lodging a kick. But what is this
great news you spoke of, If it's not
Congress splitting in the eye Of the peo-
pie who elected 'em?"
Luther this is a terrific story" Mr..
DilwoBth said impressively The New
York World-Telegram puts four-col-
umn two-line head over it. It's world
shaking, ifs
Indeed, it must me" Little Luther
agreed. Is it some secret you're afraid
to tell me about? What is it?"
"Why, it says here" his father con
fided that Emperor Hirohito is op-
posed to a revolution in Japan. I guess
that puts the State department in its
place"

Just issued compromise Interpretation.
Affected are some 1000 ship repair
workers represented by AFL and CIO
unions in IA shipyards. The boards in
depreciation supports the contention OF
management that the ll.6ao increase
shall be paid only for work done direct
ly on a vessel being repaired or on parts
taken from such vessel and intended
to be returned to it,
Further victory for management is
the decision that workers who get the
100 differential shall not receive
double-time rates for overtime nor for
work done on Saturdays, Sundays or
holidays However they will receive
time-and-a-half for such work if agree
ments between employer and union
provide for it.
Barred from receiving the differential
are a long list Of classifications on the
ground that they do not involve pro-
duction work" Among them are Gran,
operators, truck crane drivers, oilers
warehousemen, stock, issue, receiving
shipping and order clerks, countermen
checkers, storekeepers, packers too
room employees, foundrymen, pattern
makers, tool and dies makers, materia
expediters and material progress men
technical engineers and technical marine
engineers naval architects, craftsmen.
Though the decision represents fa
less than the AFL and CIO fought for
it will put a substantial chunk of retro
active pay into the pockets of thousand
OF shipyard workers. Named in tn
WLB order are the Tod and Bethlehem
Shipyards and Local 9, Industrial Unio
Of Marine & Shipbuilding Worker
(CIO), and y southern California yard
and the AFL Metal Trades Councils o
Los Angeles and San Diego Othe
yards have agreed to follow the sam

REALTY INTERESTS
WON'T MEET

NEW YORK-FP)-Deadlock in

service workers. affecting almost 1000
structures, continued Sept 25 as real
tv interests refused to meet with strik-
ing Locals BIB and 164 Building Serv-
ice Employees International Union
(AFL).
Union officials warned that the
strike, which was confined to loft and
office buildings in Manhattan, might
spread to hotels and apartment houses
and possibly engulf the entire city. 9th
er building service locals were schedul-
ing meetings to decide whether to join
the walkout, which they have already
voted to support
Halt in elevator service forced thou
sands of workers in skyscraper build
ings to stay home The strike was most
effective in the busy garment and fur
districts where the International Fur
& Leather Workers Union (CIO) and
the International Ladies Garm mt
Workers Union (AFL) ordered their
members not to cross picket lines. Fur
riers pledged their support to the strike
at a mass street meeting.
Intensive picketing was under way
throughout the borough Sept Is follow
ing a stewards meeting the night be-
fore, at which President David Sulli-
van OF Local 32-B warned that the
strike would continue until hell freezes

union demands.

1 Midtown Realty Owners association re-
iterated their intention not to meet

WORKERS FAMILIES
OUT in THE COLD

Millions of families living in unbear-
ably crowded apartments and cold-wa-
ter flats because OF the wartime hous-
ing shortage have just been condemned
by Reconversion Director John W. Sny-
der to indefinite stays in those sur
roundings.
The verdict came after Snyder and
the WPB succeeded in defeating the
OPA's back-against-the-wall defense of
price control and relieved the real es-
tate and construction industries of all
wartime controls Snyder's action sets
off a mad rush by industry to build
expensive houses at presently inflated
prices, while housing needs of workers
and middle class families go ignored.
Under wartime controls the maximum
cost Of new homes was limited to $4,000.
Now the sly's the limit on prices Of
houses-and profits, too
In fighting for its program Of rent
control and low-cost housing, OPA has
authorized its regional officials to tight
eli tuCll NoilllDio bNCl lilC prizes pl
building materials, but Snyder's action
will make their task doubly difficult
OPA will now have to contend with a
big black market in building materials
and a formidable drive by the con
struction and real estate interests tc
remove OPA's price controls.
OPA Chief Chester A. Bowles pre-
diets that the building industry is now
in for a boom-and- bust period of sew.
eral years duration, during which some
builders will reap huge profits, other,
win be squeezed out by the force o.
competition, and prices will 60 up anc

Its a nightmare ending to the post
war housing dreams Of millions of wal
workers But they can still do some
thing about it by sending their pro
tests to Snyder and President Truman
who okayed his underling's action.
