Wedge In Anti
Injunction Law

Trenton, N. j. (FP)-In a move
to break down the state anti-in-
junction law, the New Jersey court
of errors and appeals ruled here
that injunctions against mass pick
citing are valid.
While upholding the validity of
the anti-injunction law, the court
ruled that picketing that denies
access to property is, in effect,
seizure, and is therefore subject to
injunction.
The decision came on an appeal
by the United Electrical Radio q
Machine Workers against ruling
by Vice Chancellor John o. Bige-
low that the anti-injunction law
was unconstitutional because it of
fered no "relief" to parties barred
from their property by mass pick
etlines. Bigelow granted an injunc-
ton against mass picketing of the
Westinghouse Corps Bloomfield
plant early this year.
In a fine piece of legal fence
straddling, the court declared Bige-
low was at once right and wrong
right in granting the injunction,
wrong in calling the state law un-

Taking figures from the 18th
Quarterly Report of the OPA, the
economists presented these facts:
"For manufacturing as a whole,
average hourly earnings (from
January 1945 to June 1946) in
creased 3.6 per cent.
"The average price increase
which would cover this wage in
crease without any squeeze on al
ready swollen profits was 0.6 per
cent.
"The actual increase of whole
sale industrial prices was So per
cent.
''Thus by the end of June, before
the sharpest price rises had even
begun, manufacturing industry as
a whole had raised it's prices by
ten times the amount which would
have covered wage increases with
out any squeeze on profits"

Teachers Salary
Dispute Settled
At Minneapolis

Minneapolis (FP) - While St.
Paul school teachers resoutely con-
tinued their picketing, teachers in
Minneapolis have arrived at a set
tlement ~ their salary dispute
with the city, granting them sub
stantial increases.
Terms accepted by the Minnea-
polls teachers provide a $3.50 cost
of-living bonus in December, a
5000 increase next year and addi-
tional raises in 194S which will
boost the total increase TO 81 200
year.
Under the new pay scale the
maximum salary for teachers with
bachelor degrees will be $4,000 a
year. The present rate is $4,000.
Teachers holding masters degrees
will receive $4,4C0 and those with
doctors degrees will get $4,000.
In ST Paul more than LOO
teachers held firm 10 their refusal
10 return 10 classrooms until the
city council guarantees in writing
TO carry out terms agreed upon in
negotiations. Negotiations broke
down when council representatives
refused Ia assent to a written
agreement.

Report Plugs
Improvement OF
u. G.. System

Washington (FP) - Praise for
the unemployment insurance pro-
gram and call to strengthen and
liberalize it came from research
directors of 33 AFL and CIO
unions after study of the pro-
grams effects on the reconversion
period economy.
Unemployment insurance filled
a vital and stabiliZing told during
the reconversion period and has
met its first major test as a So
cial insurance program" the labor
representatives reported. They de-
MED reactionary claims that COM
pensation kept workers from TAX
ing jobs, by citing the fact that
only 5.3 million workers of the 36
million eligible received any bene-
fit check in the year following
VI Day.
"For such workers." the report
said, unemployment insurance Of
fered some minimum protection in
the search for jobs that would uti-
lize their highest skills," adding
that the average length of time
that workers received benefits dur
ing the year was Ills weeks.
The report stressed four major
inadequacies in the plan: made
quate benefits, to narrow coverage,
too short duration Of benefits, and
restrictive disqualification provi-
sions.
Average weekly benefit for the
nation was 1881, with low-rate
states going down to $12.31 North
Carolina) and the maximum of
$23.60 (Utah). "a single unified
system would remove these inequi-
ties" the report said.
more than a million beneficial
ries exhausted their benefit rights
in 1945-46," the report continued.
"In some states more than half
the claimants were still without a
job when they received their final
check. This occurred particularly
in those state where cancellation of
war contracts left many workers
unemployed with few job oppor
tunities available"
The report cited a case of un-
just disqualification of a married
woman worker because she would
not take a job from 8 p. m. to II
p. m, although willing to work
from 8 a. m. to p. m.
Since U. S. Employment Service
offices were returned to state
operation and control in Novem-
Der, labor spokesman expect this
sort of discriminatory Disqualified
tion to continue, especially if a
recession throws many thousands
more workers on the labor market.
State employment Service officials
will be able to interpret suitable
work" and available labor" so as
to force unemployed workers into
sub standard jobs, under threat Of
disqualification from unemploy-
ment compensation.

Oregon Labor
Pledges Two

BY KATHLEEN CRONIN

Portland, Ore. (FP) - Oregon
you may not have understood the
issues involved in the nationwide
railroad and coal strikes, "but
things will be different next
year, officials of the Oregon
Federation of Labor said here.
The pledge came as the AFL
body announced it was offering
two $500 college scholarships to
winners of competitive examina-
tions among the states high school
students. Money for the scholar
ships was donated by federation
affiliates.
The idea originated at the AFL
state convention last June, accord
ing to Chairman May Darling of
the federation's education commit
tee. Miss Darling believes this is
the first time such awards have
ever been offered on the basis of
competitive examinations.
The AFL boilermakers and cleo
trical workers recently financed
college courses for several of their
members but this was for the
specific purpose of training future
union leaders. Aim back of the
scholarships is to give Oregon
youth an insight into labor's prob
lens.
The project has the Endorsement
of Rex Putnam, state superinten-
dent of public instruction. The
exams will be held in April and
committee of social study teachers
from several of the states schools
has been set up to assist in pre-
pairing the questions.
Although only two students can
win prizes each year, AFL officials
here believe that hundreds of
students will become interested in
labor while studying for the ex-
aminations.

Clothing Workers
Receive Pensions
Under U-M PIun

New York (FP) - Some 2,200
workers who have reached the age
of 10 and seen 20 years service in
the mems and boys clothing in
dustry will receive retirement pen
sions in January under an indus
trywide union-management plan.
The pensions will match dollar
for dollar funds paid out to the
workers by the federal social sec
urity program. Announcement of
the retirement payments was made
jointly by President Jacob S. Pot
ofsky of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers and President Ray
mond H. Reiss Of the Clothing
Manufacturers Association.
1t was estimated that 81 5000
will be paid out annually to the
2,200 union members eligible for
retirement. Reserves are now being
built up to permit retirement, some
time in 1948, for ACW members
who have reached the age of 65.
The fund was created Dec. 10,
1915, as a result of industrywide
negotiations in the mems and boys
clothing trades. The employers
agreed to contribute 3 per cent of
their weekly payrolls, the workers
being required to make no pay
ments.
Already in effect in the industry
is a comprehensive system of life,
health, accident, disqualification
and maternity insurance for which
the employers pay 2 per cent of
their weekly payrolls.
"While the payments and the TO-
year retirement age are only mod
est beginnings, we feel we have
taken a long step in the right di-
restion," Potofsky and Reiss said,
expressing confidence the retire
ment age would be reduced to 65 in
194S.

month, 65 per cent were petitions
for election, and the rest were
charges Of unfair labor practices.
Most frequent unfair labor prac-
tice charge was discrimination
against workers for union activity
or membership, which made up 65
per cent of the total. Failure to
bargain charges were another 25
per cent.
American workers cast almost
$4,000 ballots in favor of repre-
sentation by some labor organiza-
ton, "a per cent of all ballots cast
in 726 NLRB polls. AFL affiliates

California Now
Hos Sickness
Compensation

San Francisco (FP)-A pioneer
ing labor law granting unemploy-
ment payments to workers dis
abled by illness went into effect
in this state Dec. 8. The law is a
monument to the work of Presi-
dent John +. Shelley of the San
Francisco Labor Council who is
running unsuccessfully for lieuten-
ant governor of California, loses
his seat in the state senate Jan. /.
The act, which is on the books
for only one other state, Rhode
Island, provides that 2,150,00o
Californians covered by unemploy-
ment insurance are now eligible to
receive benefits when they become
i'll as well as when they are out of
a job.
Sponsored by Shelley, the meas
ure authorizes payments to work
ers unemployed because of physi-
cal or mental illness or non-occu-
pational injuries. Occupational in
juries continue to be covered under
the workmen'S compensation law.
Sickness benefits, based on the
wage, range from so
to $50 a week for "A maximum of
23.4 weeks a year. Sickness and
jobless benefits cannot be drawn
at the same time but may be
drawn in the same year for a total
of not more than 80 weeks.

BY TRAVIS X. HEDRICK

| Washington (FP) - Proof tina,
American business took over SIC
from the consumer for each 81
granted workers in wage increases
came Dec. % in an official but
suppressed document by Federated
Press.
Showing the disparity between
increased costs due to wages and
the increase in corporation income
due to prices, the report said that
manufacturing costs rose only 2
per cent from April, 1916 to
August 1916 as average hourly
earnings in manufacturing were
upped 81 cents.
Con the basis of man-hours
worked in August" the report
said, this would increase the an
nual wage bill by IL billion dol
lars.
"For the same period, whole
sale prices of manufactured goods
rose 2 per cent. On the basis of
production in August 1916, this
price rise would increase the
manufactured goods by at least IS
billion dollars.
"For every dollar increase paid
out in higher wages, manufactur-
ers received $1,000 more through
higher prices"
The suppressed report said that
in 1947 U. S. manufacturing cor
porations will "make profits before
taxes of 15.5 billion dollars.
And unless industry bows to
labor's demand for substantial
wage increases, it's 1947 profits
after taxes, will be 9.5 billion dol
lars, almost four times the pre-
war record and about double the
profits of the war years.
In considering the 1947 profit
picture for industry with it's esti-
mate of Is billion dollars before
taxes, the report said:
eve assume that a reasonable
profit, after taxes, is estimated to
be 5 billion, which is what profits
were during the war and twice the
average profits for the pre-war
years 1869. To leave corpora
tions with billion dollars after
taxes, they would have to make
7.8 billion dollars before taxes at
the effective corporate tax rate Of
35 per cent. This means, therefore,
that if profits are, as we predict,
$155 billion dollars in 1947, manu-
featuring corporations will have
IT billion dollars, the difference
between 15.5 billion and 7.8 billion
dollars, out of which wage increas-
es can be paid.
"This TT billion dollars differ
ence is profit over and above what
must be made in order for manu-
featuring corporations to end up
with profits, after taxes, equal to
those of the war years or twice
those of pre-war years.
eff industry does not distribute
this TT billion dollars in profits
through substantially increased
wages, their 1947 profits, after
taxes will be 9.5 billion dollars.
This is almost four times their
profits for pre-war years and al
most twice that of the war years."
An entire 6-page section of the
report is devoted to figures tend
ing to prove that wage increases

Now, said the NRDGA represen-
tative, management no longer felt
restrained. AS a matter of fact, it
was hurrying to make up for lost
time. Many big firms throughout
the country, including some in New
York which he would not identify
by name, had lately been engaging
in spreading strongly-worded "ad-
vice" to their employees about
unions.
