ers-memberS of both AFL and
CIO-will be fired by the Com
merce Department from their
Jobs with the Inland Waterways
Corp. because they went on
strike on Nov. 4.
Because Inland Waterways is
government operation, Com
merce Department officials said
that the strikers were federal
employees and therefore fall un-
der the Ball-Russell law which
prohibits U. S. employees from
striking against the government
or belonging to a union that re-
serves that right. Senator Joseph
Ball (R., Mimi made a flat de-
mand that the strikers be fired.
Still to be settled is the ques-
ton of whether employees who
did not participate directly in
the strike but refused to violate
picket lines should also be dis
missed. The four unions involved
are the AFL international Long
shoremen's A o C iation; AFL
Masters, Mates & Pilots; CIO
International Longshoremen's &
Warehousemen's Union, and the

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (LPA)
- Newest wage agreement ne
gotiated by a union with a
major industry calling for the
periodic adjustment OF pay
scales tol living costs was signed
last week by the Oil Workers
Int'l Union-CIO and the Sinclair
Oil Corp.
Hailed as a landmark in wage
negotiations and possibly as a
precedent for second round
demands by other unions, the
OWIU contract provides for a
general raise of $31.20 per
month. equal to 18c an hour.
Henceforth during the life OF
the contract the wage scales VIII
be re.examined quarterly IN the
light of increases or decreases in
living costs as published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. II
the cost of living index shows a
rise or fall of three points or
more over the quarter, then a
commensurate cost of living
bonus will be added to wages
for the following quarter.

Ball camariIla by announcing
he wouldn't go along. II refuse
to be side-tracked-without a
fight" he declared. Besides,
there are 81 Republicans in the
Senate who will have something
to say about it,"
Alarmed by Aiken's "declara-
ton of war; and by the prospect
of floor fight over the chair
manship, Taft suddenly did a
somersault, and announced that
he may, after all, exercise his
seniority rights and accept the
Craftsmanship of the labor COM
mitteee.
Taft's public explanation for
his change of heart was that the
Senate labor committee, under
the reorganization bill adopted
by the last Congress, would have
broadened jurisdiction over So
cial security as well as labor
measures. However, the real
purpose OF the flipflop, every
body on Capitol Hill agreed, was
to block Aiken" Whether Taft
will go through with his new de
cision won't be known until the
new Congress organizes.
Leaders Embarrassed
Meanwhile, some Senate COP
leaders were reported to be
iacutely embarrassed by the drive
for anti-labor legislation being
pushed by Joe" Ball and his
reactionary colleagues. An in
dication of their feeling was
given in a story carried by the
New York Herald-Tribune, ira
ditionally a Republican paper
"GOP chieftains are saying
that Ball is not speaking for the
majority of Republicans in Con.
gress when he proposes that the
party move swiftly to revive the
Case Bill and outlaw the closed
shop" the paper asserted. Il
added that "the top men in the
party want to move with slow
deliberation In this field" espe.
cially because the labor vote
may be a crucial factor in the
1948 elections.

Some managements don't want
any help from unions. They are
stuffed shirts. Thank God our en-

and on the level. They welcome
our help. Give it to them.
We've been pushing our wages
up and up. Fine. But if we put
our wages up on stills and don't
lift our production to the level OF

the whole country goes from the
stills to the skids. We've got to

competition Is more and more
socialiStic. In this new "Ons
