Hearing of the dispute PEE
tween the Plaskon Unit of Local
IL, UAW- -CIO and the company
management scheduled to be
heard by a LMC panel Tuesday
morning of this week was post
poned when Richard Gosser,
UAW-CIO director was detsin-
ed out of the city on union
business.
Jerome Gross, LMC execn-
tive secretary is making ar
rangements for another meeting
which will be held late this
week or early next week.
All points in the dispute with
the exception of wages and the
continuous operation by means
of swing shift have been set
tied in the line with the recon-
mendation of the LMC panel se-
lected to hear the case. Panel
members asked the union and
company to settle as many
points as possible and to return
to them with the unsettled issues
Principal issue of the dispute
is the question of maintaining
continuous operation of the com
pany's Sylvan Ave. plant by
means of a swing shift demand
ed by the company. The Union
disagrees with the swing shift
while not rejecteing the COM
pany's wish to maintain contl-
nuos operations.
Wage demands made by the
union will bring the Plaskon
workers up to the pattern scale
set throughout the industry.
Plaskon workers have been
on strike for the past three
weeks, walking out when their
wage demands were not met.
NLRB and union strike require
ments were followed.

Truman Asks
Wage Policy

WASHINGTON, Sept. %
LPA)-President Truman last
week finally admitted that the
badly shattered Administration
wage-price policy needed face
lifting.
Named to do the job of re-
commencing a new policy was
a subcommittee of the advisory
board to the Office of War Mo
bilization and Reconversion.
Members of the committee,
appointed after a full discussion
of the advisory board, are: Geo.
w. Taylor, former War Labor
Board chairman; CIO President
Philip Murray former Chamber
of Commerce head, Eric Johns
ton; Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, as
a public member; Nathan Dyke
of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Co.
AFL President William Green
was not present at the advisory
board sessions, and Taylor indi-
Gated that there was, therefore,
no opportunity to invite him to
serve.
Both CIO and AFL heads have
expressed their vigorous opposi-
tion to the inJusticeS of the pre-
sent wage policy, and the stu
alton has been further compli-
Gated by the over-ruling of the
Wage Sterilization Board in the
AFL seamen's wage case.
Industry members of WSB
more than month ago present
ed their designations, and recon-
mended that the tri-partite
makeup of the board be elm
mated, leaving a 1000 public
body.
One recommendation expect
ed to be seriously considered
will be a proposal to Truman to
allow cost-of-living wage in
creases above the 33%o now ad-
mitted in wage stabilization
cases.

ing those not affected by gem
eral wage changes, the average
gain amounted to about liz
cents.
Comparatively few raises were
found among the non-manufac-
turing industries surveyed. The
average gain for all trade, serv-
ice, finance and public utility
establishments a m ounted to
more than 8 cents per
hour. Since many such workers
were employed in plants not
paying tn se increases, "the

the LMC would make to
settle the difference.
Previous attempts of the LMC
to get all tile parties involved in
the situation to agree to accept
the recommendation of the LMC

with only the Teamsters Union,

accept the committees commen-

President A. F. Whitney, in
his keynote address, charged
that Truman, "in using the pow
er of his office to smash the
strike of the railroad trainmen
and engineers last May, gave
greater encouragement to the re-
dictionary and fascist forces in
our land than any President
within our memory"
Hits At Congress
He hit at Congress, too, say
ing it paid only lip service TO
its pledges" Then he assailed
the shortsightedness of big bus
mess.
"In the most complex era in
the history of our nation big
business has nothing to offer"
he said. "Cynically, it asserts
that we should work first and
fight and die and roll up bigger
profits for Wall Street and the
Association of American Rail-
roads.
"The people of our country
and that includes organized la

hopeless solution to life's prob
lens. Big business offers the
people no hope. Labor must"

hind the striped pants of the

ing of the railmen's strike and
declared that Whitney had been

gated without cause" as a result

CIO Proposes
Lumber Plan

| PORTLAND, Ore. Sept. % -
lSIpA}--Stop and think min
ute about the multitude of ways
in which you depend on prod
ucts of our nations forests. Ell
lery Foster, director of research
and education for the Interna-
tional Woodworkers-CIO asks
this of his readers in an illus
trated pamphlet just published
by the CIO Dept. of Education
and Research.
Lumber for homes, the furni-
ture in them, the paper for
newspapers and magazines and
books, the containers in which
our food is shipped, plastics and
many other things that we take
for granted depend on the
forests, Foster says.
Americas Logjam" Is the
name of the attractive PAM
phlet, and that describes the
state of our forest resources,
Foster says. "The forests them
selves are in the worst condi-
ton they've ever been in. Lum-
Der production is way below re-
quirements and experts say it
will stay that way, unless some
thing is done about it. Lumber
prices have gone sky-high. Lum-
Der operators are asking for
still higher ceilings-or no CELL
ings at all. And the wages of
forest workers are just about at
the bottom of the list"
A program centering around
a bill introduced into congress
by Rep. Frank Hook, D. Mich,
for breaking up the 'logjam" is
in the pamphlet.
