U. S. Reports
On JobIess

WASHINGTON, April10-
LPA)-Every couple of months
another 100000 jobless work.
ers are on the unemployment
compensation lists, it was re.
vealed here last week, while g.
100000 others either find Jobs
retire, or exhaust their jobless
insurance.
Summarizing the national en-
ployment picture in a talk be-
fore the Louisiana State Fedora
ton of Labor, Evan Clague, So
cial Security Board director OF
employment security, pointed to
the greatly varying state bene-
fits as a danger to the national
economy.
MANY workers are moving
from the states where they held
war jobs, and are filing claims
for unemployment compensation
In other states" he declared.
"The method of handling inter-
state claims is basically sound,
but the states have recognized
that the system is not working
too well, causing many workers
to lose time in collecting their
insurance benefits"
Figure Is Constant
About 100000 workers a
week file claims, wait for claims
to become effective, or get the
benefits due them. AS their
weekly payments cease - and
they do in periods varying from
a maximum of ID to 26 weeks,
depending on the state - other
. unemployed workers refill the
lists, so that the 100000 fig
ure has remained practically
constant for the last several
months.
Veteran claims add another
100000 to the figure, accord
ing to Clague, which means that
there are about 100000 job
seekers in the nation who are
existing on unemployment COM

Is as low as SIS weekly, maxi

breaker as plant manager.
In its brief outlining its
charges against the ompany. the

the Standard Products Co. has
failed for more than two years
to negotiate a contract with the

Boadd directing the company to

The brief further charged that
the company employed a known

plant manager and stated that
CoonS had organized a back-to-
work movement at Saginaw,
Mich. prior to coming to Port
Clinton.
Charging that plant manager
Coons Immediately upon taking
over his duties in the Port Clin-

TAX BATTLE ENDS
WITH LARGE VOTE
|BeY! Page
Mr.. Reufher

INDIANAPOLIS, April 8 -
NPA)-The United Auto Work
erf-CIO "did not receive the
help they should have received
from AFL unions during their
long and costly strike with Gen
eral Motors" according to an
editorial statement in the April
issue of the International Teams
ter, monthly publication of the
Intl. Brotherhood Teamsters-
AFL.
''We say" declared the edi-
torial, 'they should have recefv-
ed AFL help because they were
fighting for the AFL as well as
for themselves. The defeat of a
strong union in the auto indus
try would have been a blow to
organized labor as a whole. 1t
would have thrown many AFL
unions into immediate conflict
with industry because industry
would have reasoned that if a
powerful union like the Auto
Workers could be defeated, all
other unions could be defeated.
1t would have cost many AFL
unions much money and effort
to resist the attacks of employers
on other crafts"
The editorial emphasized that
ut would have been a far less
costly strike to the employees of
GIN if labor had been united, in
stead of divided into hostile fac
tion. Had that been the case,
the treasures of all AFL unions
would have been opened to help
the auto workers"

he told the House, "they are

ciples laid down by the Consti-

"In other words, it is nothing

Minimum
Wage Bill
Is Passed
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April {
IPA) = Labor supported
legislation for a Csc minimum
wage was almost completely
demolished last week by q
bloc of southern farm senators
who first reduced the Csc to 6Oc
and then, in the face of threat
ened veto by President Truman,
added an amendment raising
farm prices. The Csc base was
finally restored.
Sen. Pepper, author of the bill
and leader of the floor fight for
the legislation, said, II consider
the bill completely dead"
Alters Farm Parity
The Amendment, battered
into the measure by Sen. Russell
d., Ga.), altered the farm par
ity formula to incorporate the
expense of farm labor including
the farmer and his family as
we'll as hired help.
A Republican-Southern Dem
ocratic coalition passed the rider
by a vote of 43 to 81, despite
warnings by Economic Stabiliza-
ton Director Chester Bowles
that it would increase food costs
by more than $4,000,000,0OO a
year.
Awaits Final Vote
Awaiting final Senate vote be-
fore going to the House the bill,
as it now stands, would increase
the present minimum Wage from
40c an hour for employees now
covered by the Federal Wage
Hour law to Csc. The original
Pepper legislation provided for
an immediate hike to Csc and
an eventual increase to 75c in
four years.
Russells parity proposal split
party lines in manner similar
to other anti-labor decisions in
recent weeks with "a Republi-
cans voting with % Democrats.
The no vote was Is Democrats,
IL Republicans and one Progress
sive. Pepper branded the wreck
age of his legislation as a worse
bill than the present law"
