smile spread on his face, think
ing of some hidden joker he is
leaving for Ringman.
Have you noticed the little
man with the large snozzle who
has been trying to impress peo-
pie around the plant that he is
a big-time foreman. Some peo-
pie take all the small jobs and
still think and act big-time. Hi,

Bob Nye left us to take over
the postoffice in his home town.
This is one swell job as he will
be able to read all the postcards.
All members in good standing
are invited to spend the week
end at the summer cottage of
our chairman, Brother BirtwiS-
tie. He will be at home to re-
ceive his guests the first two
weeks in August.
Fabulous sayings by c. Shultz,
H. E. Williams and l.. Ringman.
IF the tool-joint line doesn't
start making the production that
is set up by the company, we
will be forced to move it to one

Shultz is gone, Williams is gore,
and I will take all bets that
Ringman will be gone but the
tool-joint line will go on for
ever.

Progressive

MADISON, Wise. March %
GPA)-The Progressive Party,
founded by the sons of fighting
Bob LaFollette, longtime Sena-
tor from Wisconsin. last week
voted TO dissolve and enter the
Republican Party in this state.
After lengthy debate, the vote
of the delegates was: to join
the Republican Party, 234; to
ioin the Democratic Party, 81;
to keep the Progressive Party,
II: to join the Socialist Party, 8.
Robert M. LaFollette Jr., in
cumbent senator and leader of
the Party, led the move to enter
the Republican fold, charging
that the Democratic Party is
now, under President Truman's
leadership, stalled on dead
center"
Il have no illusions about the
Republican Party he said, i
have fought reaction in it for
years. But l do discern rising
liberal movement within that
party. l am convinced that the
Republican Party offers the best
opportunity for advancement OF
progressive principles"
The ProgreSsives originally
were a bloc which dominated
the Wisconsin Republican Party.
The elder LaFollette ran for the
presidency on a national third
party ticket in 1924, against
Calvin Coolidge and John w.
Davis. The independent party
was organized in 1884.

Bosses Admit
Losing Fight

WASHINGTON, March %
nPA)-The anti-union super
seniority dyke sta ted to
crumble badly last week as a
growing number of employers
decided to take seriously the
lesson of three recent court deci-
sions branding superseniority as
contrary to law. In several in
stances they publicly admitted
their defeat and reverted to
strict Interpretation of the SEN
iority clauses in union contracts.
The surrender of Allegheny
Ludlum Steel and of the Alum
mum Co. of America were the
two heaviest blows to the pet.
notions of Selective Service D1--
rector Lewis B. Hershey and the
American Legion, both of whom
have argued vainly for an inter-
pretation of the Selective Serv-
ice Act which permits a veteran
to bump out worker with
greater accumulated seniority.
Firm Agrees
Under no circumstances in the
future will a veteran displace a
non-veteran with greater senior
ity, the Alleghtny firm agreed.
In addition, all non-veterans
who have in the past been dis
placed out of seniority by re-
turning veterans shall be re-
stored to their position which
their length of service entities
them to, and, if necessary,
Dumping down the younger vet
eran who has misplaced them.
At ALCOA any newly return
ing CT will be restored on the
basis of his contract seniority,
plus lengt hof time in the armed
forces. If he has enough total
service to quality for a position
Immediately, he will be restored
to his job, but he will not be
able to displace a non-veteran OF
greater seniority.
Final decision on the whole
question of superseniority will
rest with the U. S. Supreme
Court which next month will de-
eide whether to review the find
ing of a N. Y. Federal Court
that found superseniority an
idea of Gen. Hershey's and not
the intent of Congress. Several
labor lawyers have expressed
belief that the court will not re-
view the decision, thereby set
Ting permanently the issue in
labor's favor.

Housing Depends
On Veteran Heat

w A S H I N G T o n =
(LPA)-Urgent appeals TO vet
Grams and labor and civic groups
to insist that members of Con-
gress vote for the 2,700, 1000
home veterans emergency hous-
! ing program were renewed here
last week.
Still smarting from the defeat
administered the Patman bill in
the House, attention was being
concentrated on the Senate. The
Patman measure, which in its
original form would provide for
extension of price controls to
new and old houses, and for
S600,OO0,0O0 subsidy fund to
stimulate production of scarce
building materials, is now before
the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee.
The Senate committee, which
is preparing a report on the
long-r n ge Wagner Ellender-
Taft General Housing Bill, is not
expected to take up the House
version of the Patman bill until
almost the end of March. They
are currently holding hearings
on the proposed loan to Great
Britain.
Vets Threaten March
A threat that veterans might
organic a march on Washington
to impress Congress with their
support of the housing program
was made by Franklin D. Roose-
velt Jr. in a speech to the Ma
tional Public Housing Confer
ence in New York.
I'm warning our House of
un-Representatives in Washing
ton that unless they do some
thing about housing" young
FDR said, they're going to have
veterans marching down to see
them. And I'll be with them. "
Need Quick Action
Two sets of facts, revealed
here last week, underlined the
need for quick Congressional ac-
ton to back up Housing Ex-
pediter Wilson Wyatt.
The amount of money spent in
February for privately financed
residential construction was only
about half of the monthly av-
erage needed to provide the vol
ume of housing called for in the
Administration housing pro-
gram, the Dept. of Commerce
revealed.
The rise in commercial build
ing-everything from stores to
bowling alleys and roadhouses
kept pace with the rise in resi-
Dental building. Despite the
present order channeling 400 of
scarce building materials into
residential construction. Wyatt
was expected momentarily to is
sue an order curtailing such lux
ury commercial building.
