will consider the adoption of an In
dustrial Relations Charter for the
Americas, it was disclosed with pub
lication of a report to be submitted

be guided by a series of principles
recognizing the right to organize and
bargain collectively, and expressing
the need for machinery for the vol
untary adjustment of labor disputes.
At the same time, it urges safe

of disputes be imposed, recommends

Whitney Renews
Strike Threat

Chicago-FP).-An effort to re.
duce railroad workers standards by
adoption of 90 company changers in
working rules or rejection of union
wage demands will signal a nation
wide rail strike, Pres. A. F. Whitney
of Bro. of Railroad Trainmen (unaffi-
liated) warned a government fact,
finding board.
Winding up the case of his union
and the Bro. of Locomotive Engineers
(unaffiliated) for a $3.50 wage in
crease and changes in "A working
rules, Whitney charged that the
roads counter-proposal of 20 rule
changes would destroy the working
conditions for which our men have
fought for so years."
"We are sick and tired of being the
laughing stock of various labor
groups" Whitney said. "We will not
walk out of Chicago with the finger
of shame pointing at us. We will not
leave here without a substantial IN
crease in pay as good or better than
other industry groups have obtained"
The rail unions postponed a strike
scheduled for March II when Pres.
Truman appointed the finding
board.

federal mediators in the dispute re-
ported Mar. 26 that the company's
position made mediation impossible.
The report was signed by William
H. Davis, former head of the Natl.

Meyer who were named by Sec of
Labor Schwellenbach.
On strike since Jan. Is, the West
inghouse workers are members of the
United Electrical Radio & Machine
Workers which has settled its strikes
against Westinghouse competitors
through compromises that have set
an industry-wide pattern.
Originally asking 25c an hour in
crease, UE settled with General Elec-
trio and General Motors for 1850, and
with the Radio Corp. of America for
17.5c plus six paid holidays.
Westinghouse made a shaded offer
of 1850 but made conditions which

iel lost his suit for reinstatement on
the Wichita police force when Dist
Judge N. Smith ruled; "There is moth
ing in our constitution prohibiting
any employer from dismissing any en-
ploye at any time he wishes"
Daniel was one of seven policemen
fired when they joined Local 976,

cials of the local, which is backed by
at least 70ee Of the police force, said
they would appeal the case up to the

The Judge did not rule on the only
issue involved, they said, whether or

DeWeu And Jones
Make Report To
LocoI Union No. 9

Local Union No. 9 had a fine turn
out at their meeting last Friday eve
ming to hear the report of our two
conferees to the wage conference,
brothers Ben Jones and Dever Dewell.
Giving the highlights as we'll as the
arguments pro and con on the various
propositions brought before the con-
ference, the report was we'll received
| and both brothers extended a vote
Of thanks for their fine work. Many
questions were asked regarding the
date the wage increase becomes eff
fective. These queries were attributed
to the various rumors heard through
out the shops regarding a statement
in the daily press of the OPA order
removing vitrified and semi -vitrified
china from price control, which ap-
plies only to dinnerware used by such
places as hotels, restaurants and hos
pitals.
Due to the time involved in ..ques-
tion bee following the report, q mo-
tion was passed to withhold action on
several resolutions for this years con-
vention until our next meeting.
Application for honorary member
ship for brothers Ben Smith and Ar
thur Mosser received favorable action
and ordered forwarded to headquart-
ers for final action.
A request from Local Union 113,
Huntington Park, Calf, for the trans
fer card of "Dennie" McDaniels, was
complied with.

Sunshine City Is
Poffers' Paradise
Writes O. G. 7O3

Erwin, Tenn.-We are still going
along here in Erwin. The weather is
nice, the fish are biting, the sun keeps
shining and the bees are humming.
What more can anyone ask? Espec-
tally potter. Some say due to the
shortage of fishermen, the fish are
biting each other We still think some
of the official nimrods on the Execu-
tive Board should come to Erwin and
try their luck in the mountain streams.
Local Union 103 was very much
pleased with the result Of the recent
wage conference. We think it is the
best agreement ever reached to our
knowledge. The largest attendance in
the history of the local was on hand
to hear our conferee's report. After
hearing the report, the local went On
record TO express their feeling Of
gratitude to President Duffy for the
capable and efficient manner in which
he presented our case to the manu-
facturers. We have a sneaking hunch
that some of our members made re-
solve to attend meetings more regul-
arly in the future The writer is of
the opinion that they see in the 1872
cent per hour increase, the Brother
hood is really all for one, and one for
all.
The plant is working to capacity
and we expect to accomplish some real
progress in the future. | think since
the conference that most members as
well as management are approaching
the various problems with a more SEN
sible attitude. When management and
labor work in harmony, only prosper
ity and happiness can prevail.-O. c.

ing $500 as proof an employer can't
fire workers for organizing and join
ing a union.
Seeking to obtain the higher wages,
improved working conditions and pro-
lection enjoyed by their unionized
fellow workers, the employees of the
Perlco Venetian Blind Corporation
applied last December for member
ship in the UIU through Interna-
tional Treasurer R. Alvin Albarino,
business representative of Local "A
who placed them in Local COL, which
through Organizer Russell S. Moore
asked management to open negotia-
tions for a contract.
The company replied by firing the
men. The union met this illegal act
by filing a complaint with the State
Labor Relations Board. Company
representatives told the board the
men weren't fired for joining the
union but because the firm was going
out of business. In the hearings that
followed, the company stuck to its
story and made varying offers of
dismissal payment for some of the
men. The union held
firm, however, and insisted on full
with back pay and
UIU contract.
Bowing to the 6-week demonstra-
tion of the workers solidarity and
determination, the company decided
to stay in business, paid the $500 and
signed with Local COL.

feet was the same because no miners
