At the family breakfast, Janet reads to

Walter and Janet can't help wondering,
sometimes how all this came to pass. They
can remember the days when Walter was

when they decided to come west, friends and
relatives doubted out loud that new mar

by becoming the first presidential strike breaker.
By Strang coincidence, the precedent set by PreSi-

coast to coast last week but Of
ficials of the international Union
of Mine, Mill and Smelter Work
ers (CIO) saw evidences that the
employer front was crumpling.
In Waterbury, Conn, a new
contract was sign ed by the
IMMSW and the American Brass
Co. providing for an 1872 cent
an-hour pay hike. About 10000
workers at three plants were
scheduled to vote on ratification
of the pact. The strike had run
for 102 days. Phelps Dodge
plants in Arizona and Long Is
land, N. Y, were still closed, as
were 18 plants of American
Smelling and Refining and Ken
nicott Copper in Utah.
An 1872 cent incre ease for
5000 employees of Anaconda
Copper, Butte, Mont, was ap-
proved for pricing purposes by
the Wage Sterilization Board.
General pre-approval of wage or
salary increases not exceeding
1872 cents was later voted by
the Board for non-ferrous metal
mining in IL Rocky Mountain
states and Alaska.

CIO Requests
More Benefits

ASHIN GTON, May q
(LPA) - In an almost-empty
committee room, with indiffer-
ent attendance from Congress-
men, representatives of organ
ized labor last week opened their
campaign for a revised and i'm
proved unemployment compen-
sation system across the nation
Very unwillingly, the House
Ways and Means Committee is
holding hearings on the various
sections of the Social Security
Act, and currently is hearing
views on joblesS benefit pro-
grams.
Speaking for the CIO, Robert
Lamb testified that the present
patchwork pattern of benefits
varying from state to state
should be replaced by national
standards of minimum payments,
that excessively stringent dis
qualification provisions and the
experience rating system should
be changed, that workers jobless
because of strikes should not be
denied benefits, and that cover
age should be extended.

Boosts Free
Enterprise

DETROIT, May "a (Special)
Free enterprise got a boost
here this week when Richard
T. Frankensteen, form e I
UAW-CIO vice-president, be-
came a full-fledged employer
with a contract with Local 157,
IUAW-CIO. The announcement
was made by the Wage Garner,
ACTU newspaper.
Frankensteen acquired t h e
union contract at the same time
ne secured the assets of the
Braden Tool g. Machine Co. The
name of the concern was i'm
mediately changed to the Frank
Iensteen Manufacturing Co.
1t was announced by the for
mer union leader, "We will con-
;inue to employ the same staff
of workers under the contract
between the UAW and the
Braden firm"
Secure New Plant
The new Frankensteen Manu-
featuring Co. will occupy a new
plant with 900 square feet of
floor space and will engage in
the manufacture of automotive
parts.
The new magnate, who de-
clined to run for the UAW-CIO
vice-presidency at the recent At
lantic City Convention, was a
member of the Auto Workers al
most from its beginning. He was
severely beaten during the Ford
organizational drive and was
noted for his denunciation of
employers.
In addition to his duties as
.UAW executive, Frankensteen
found time to indulge in several
unsuccessful ventures in labor,
politics and the theatrical bust
ness. He was defeated for mayor
of Detroit last fall, after leading
Mayor Edward J. Jeffries in the
primaries. Gypsy Moon," on
which he has spent considerable
time and money, has not yet
gone into production.
Mr.. Frankensteen indicated
that he would spend his time
with his new business, saying,
II am going to devote myself to
the automobile parts manufac-
turing business"
