New breaks in the seamen'S
strike came as NMU reached ac-
cord with the Great Lakes Trans
port Co., Lakes Tankers Inc, and
Cleveland Tankers Inc.
The agreements followed pat
tern set with ships operated by
the Standard Oil Co., and Bethle-
ham Transportation Co. New
rates include S1.15 an hour for
beginning seamen; $1.20 for mid
die ratings and SIPS for skilled
seamen. Working time is a "A
hour week~in ports and 40 hours
for "sit out" time.
MEANWHILE NMU leaders
here frightened p C k t lines
around Indiana and South Chi
cago ports and laid down a tough
policy to end strike-breaking by
"scab' crews.
NMU press agent Irving Eden
berg announced that in a mass
meeting held by striking sea
men, a five-man committee had
been elected to check the strike
record of seamen going back to
work on the cleared ships.
"Only those seamen whose
strike-records are satisfactory -
regardless of whether they're un-
ion members or not = will be al
lowed to work on these ships"
declared Gutenberg.

EARLIER NMU leaders of the
Indiana Harbor branch had form
ed a night patrol to act as a
welcome committee" for crew
men on "scab ships" which came
into port.
First welcome committee"
consisted of some 100 pickets,
who waited on the docks as the
Inland Steel Co. ship az. f.
Block sailed into port.
A special NMU launch patroled
the harbor with loudspeakers to
persuade crewmen of the ship 20
strike for the shorter-hours and
higher wages.

The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-08-31

UPW Pres. Ralph Helstein de-
clared that filing of the notices
did not necessarily mean strike
will occur, but if the packers con-
tinue to refuse proper considera-
ton to union demands, the work
ers will have no other alterna-
tive.
ITO date" Helstein said, "the
packers proposals would de-
prive the union of all forms of
security while at the same
time imposing penalties de-
signed to destroy the union.
These proposals, in addition to
taking away many benefits
previously enjoyed, actually
reduce the workers income"

Thanks Committee

Washington, d. c. (ILNS).-The
Government Employees Council of the
American Federation Of Labor has ex-
pressed it's appreciation to the House
Ways and Means Committee for the
committees assurance that no plan for
linking the Civil Service Retirement
and Social Security Systems will be
permitted.
The committees position was sum-
married. by Representative Forand of
Rhode Island after number of mem
bers, Democrats and Republicans, had
stated their desire to see the sys-
TENS continue separately.
The council at the same time said
that it desired to see all persons who
are in need of some security system
be accorded fair play. But it def
nitely opposed the plan which has
been fostered for years in the Social
Security Board Of blending the plans
into one by degrees.

PAY BOOSTED WITHOUT STRIKES

American Federation of Labor
unions are winning wage increases
almost entirely without strikes, U. S.
Department of Labor figures reveal.
Out of 100000 workers on strike or
threatening to strike, as of Jan. Is,
only 10000 were AFL union men,
bers.
Why is it that AFL unions can save
their members the huge losses caused
by strikes and yet win them large and
lasting gains? The answer is that
experienced AFL union leaders seek
substantial progress through collective
bargaining conducted privately with
employers ON a basis of fact and ex-
perience, with consideration of the in
terests of both sides.
The AFL regards collective bargain
ing in good faith as the normal pro-
cedure for establishing good relations
with employers and working out the
terms of employment in contract.
AFL unions have negotiated in good
faith within the administration de-
clared wage-price policy And this pro-
cedure is working, aiding in maintain
ing national purchasing power and in
speeding reconyersion to peaeetime
production

mum wage level prescribed under the
Fair Labor Standards Act, the Presi-
dent said neither serious price adj
justments nor geographic dislocations
would be caused by such increases.
Continued price control and rent
control were urged by the President
to prevent initiation. He recommended
liberalization Of the whole structure
of the social security laws and re-
stated his pleas for the establishment
Of health insurance.
In giving his views on the need for
fair wage structure to bulwark ex-
pansion of American industry, the
President said:
"Most industries and most COM
panies have adequate leeway within
which to grant substantial wage in
creases. If we manage our economy
properly, the future will see us on a
level of production half again as high
as anything we have ever accomplish
ed in peacetime. Business can in the
future pay higher wages and sell for
lower prices than ever before. "This
is not true for all companies, nor will
it ever be there for all, but for busi-
ness generally it is true. We are rely
ing on all concerned to develop through
collective bargaining wage structures
that are fair to labor, allow for nec-
essary business incentives and con-
form with policy to hold the line on
prices"

For Better Traffic Control

Middletown, Ohio.-Members of the
City Commission conferred with Hugh
A. King, Chief of Police, to consider
Kings suggestions for better traffic
control, and later met with officials
of the Ortman Stewart Transporta-
tion Co., regarding placing prewar bus
stops back into eject here.
Chief King was understood to be
asking that left turns at Central Ave-
nue's intersections with Broad Street
and Verify Parkway be eliminated, as
before the war, in the interest of safe
ty, and that at least three traffic
lights, which were turned off during
the war, be placed back in operation,
principally the light at Central and
Grices Streets.

COMMENT on WORLD EVENTS

levels of productive employment; (b)
a rising standard of well-being; (c)
the attainment of these goals by means
comparable with freedom and secur-
ity. Lasswell states that "The degree
to which these objects can be realized
in the United States depends in no
small measure upon the world environ
ment-upon the level of world eco-
nomic life and the degree of world
political security"
Having placed Americas domestic
economic goals in the focus Of the
world security spotlight, the writer
analyses the effects of efforts to
achieve these goals on the desire of
other nations, particularly Russia, to
feel free of any threat Of this nations
accumulating strength in the event of
another war. And there must be no
next war;" Lasswell says, if America
is to have the jobs, living standards
and freedom which it's people want.
Even threat of war would retard
progress, since preparatory measures
for defense would tend to mobilize pro-
duction for possible war, rather than
leaving it free to serve civilian needs
and living standards. Future wars are
likely, however, unless factors which
have produced wars in the past are
controlled.
Since crises of war and insecurity
are often among the unintended con-
sequences of economic policy, it is
wise to consider in advance the prob
able repercussions of economic policy
on security. Such considerations will
necessarily take place within frame
work of world politics that, in it's
characteristic form, is the balancing
of power. The term "world politics"
is used by the author to include the
diplomatic and economic procedures
Of nations, apart from any world or
ganiZation.
