First Union
Contract In
Forty Years
Nations Largest
Open Shop Plant

Chicago-(FP).-Fort the first tim,
in 40 years X. r. Donnelley's Lake
side Press has signed union contract
Initial success against the nation:
largest open shop printing plant, homo
of Time, Life, Readers Digest, Path
finder and Montgomery Ward cata-
logues, was achieved by workers in
the offset department, members oi
Local a, AmaIgamated Lithographers
(unaffiliated).
Donnelly's was a union shop when
it was first set up in 1864. Its foun-
der, X. X. Donnelley, died in 1899 and
his son, Thomas +. Donnelley, took
over and began to destroy the unions
piecemeal. By 1907 Donnelley's was
completely open shop, operating un-
der blacklist and every anti-union
trick in the book.
First significant union victory came
on Nov. 30, 1914, when printing trades
unions won NLRB elections in four de-
partments Of the plant. Later the firm
was found guilty of unfair labor prac-
tices for refusal to bargain with the
unions. Spearheading their current or
ganizing drive is the newly formed
Chicago Federation Of Printing Trades
Unions (AFL).
The new contract, which grants holi-
day pay and 5% wage increase, is
objectionable in many features" ac-
cording to the federation, but union
officials nevertheless regard it as an
important foothold. In a typical anti
union move, Donnelley's gave the holi-
day pay and increase to all its depart
ments even though it was the offset
workers who won the contract.
Workers in other departments are
not fooled by the company's magnani-
nous gesture, N. M. DiPieto Of the
federation said. Pointing out that or
ganizing had been encouraged by the
contract, he said: Every worker
gains directly from the photographers
negotiationst as from the effects of
all the other unions"

Makers Hourd
Goods Wditing
For Price Rise

Washington-(F (FP).-Attack on the
OPA took the form of an exhibition
by the Natl. Retail Dry Goods Assn
in the House office building Mar. IL
when representatives of NRDGA
moved travelling display of cloth
goods, toasters, gscooters and illustra
tive placards into Congressional halls
just as hearings on continuation OF
OPA were taking place.
Inviting members Of Congress and
the press as well as Sterilization Di-
rector Chester Bowles and Price Ad-
ministrator Paul Porter to their show,
the sponsors strove to drive home the
point that OPA is injuring the public
by forcing established, honest produc-
ers like themselves out Of business
leaving the way open for new manu-
facturers to force shoddy goods on
consumers. OPA, they claim, gives
advantages in establishing
price formulas.
Vice Pres. Robert A. Seidel Of W..
T.. Grant Co.,, was chief ringmaster
Of the Congressional show. "In many
cases goods are being made and held" :"
said Seidel, "and they will be held
until the maker gets price to meet
his cost" One boys suits manufactur-
er had 1000 dozen suits, with $4,000
dozen in the process of manufactur-.
and he is not selling, said Seidel.

Take Wage Boosts From
Profits Says Eccles

Washington-(FP). - The House
banking committee was told Feb. "a
that the administration new wage
price policy would increase the cost of
living by l0fS, and that wage increases
can be justified "only by paying them
out of increased production and pro-
fits-not by increased prices"
The statement came from Chairman
Mariner S. Eccles of the Federal Re-
serve System who described the con-
dition where prices have to be in
crease in order to increase wages as
inflationary.
Ecles said he favored extension of
price controls for at least a year after
June 30 and he attached the position
Of the Natl, Assn. Of Manufacturers
against price control in vigorous
terms. He declared that the NAM
position for allowing prices to rise
freely and for the economy to find
it's own level was "like arguing against
vaccination-that it is better to chance
getting cured from smallpox than to
take precautions"

Committee Junks
Anfi-Sfrike Bill

Washington, ID. C. - QLNS. - AS
predicted by International Labor News
Service, the Senate Labor Committee
killed the drastic Case antistrike bill
and has drafted a completely new
measure.
Announcing that the committee had
junked the Case bill, which drew the
fire of all organized labor, Senator
Ellender Of Louisiana said the sub
stitute would center around an Gin
dependent federal mediation board. "
"The only thing left of the Case
bill is its number and it's title" FL
lender said. "Our substitute is one
in which management, labor and the
public will have confidence"
The Louisiana Senator is one of z
committee members appointed to
study the House passed legislation
sponsored by Representative Case of
South Dakota, and numerous propo-
sails by Senator'S and draft compre-
hensive plan for dealing with labor
disputes.

Housing PdrleY' Urges
Pressure On Congress

New York-(FP).-P for pres
sure from the community and marches
on Washington if necessary, to protest
knitting of the government emergency
veterans housing program and threat
to the Wagner-Ellender-Taft long
range housing bill were made by
leaders of the AF'L, CIO, Natl. Farm
ers Union, bu Natl. Housing Expediter
Wilson II. Wyatt, Sen. Robert F.
Wagner Cd, N. ", Franklin ID.
Roosevelt Jr, and others at the Natl.
Public Housing Conference here.
Attacking the real estate and build
ers' lobby which succeeded in getting
price control and government subsidy
provisions out of the Patman emer-
gency bill in the House, Wyatt said
that materials are the No. bottle
neck in the housing crisis.
Wartime methods should be used to
get materials into production of
houses costing $4,000, he said, point
ing out that the proposed government
subsidy of 5000 million amounted to
only one-fifth of 1% of the wars total
cost. Increased price ceilings urged by
the lobbies would increase the cost to
veterans $3.50 house, totaling more
than So billion, he warned.
Restating AFL Endorsement of the
Wyatt program, Chairman Harry
Bates of the AFL Housing Committee
said lack Of government action has
enabled builders to put their material
into profitable construction of night
clubs, beauty parlors and juke-box
joints rather than into urgently need
ed houses for veterans.
Last December the value of COM
mercial building increased $3.50 while
new housing increased only SO, Bates
said, urging government priorities
and allocations, subsidies and price
control to break the bottleneck. The
ultimate solution of Americas hous-
ing problem is single unified plan
such as provided by the Wagner-El-
lender-Taft bill, he said.

Supervisors Plan
Organizing Drive

Pittsburgh-( (FP).-A to l NLRE
ruling permitting supervisory person
mel to affiliate with a union of pro
duction workers was received with en-
thusiasm by the United Clerical Tech
nical g. Supervisory Workers, which
is part of Dist. so, United Mine Work
ers (AFL).
Union Pres. John McAlpine prom
ised an intensive organizing drive
among the 10000 to $4,000 supervis-
ory workers in the soft coal mines and
warned that resistance by the opera
tors would be answered with a general
shutdown i'm the coal industry.
Coal operators in the Pittsburgh
area have already indicated their OPP
position to the NLRB ruling. The
Western Pennsylvania Coal Operators
Assn, said it would appeal the ruling
and a fight was also promised by the
Natl. Soft Coal Assn.
Answering these storm warnings,
McAlpine said: "lf the operators re-
fuse to bargain with us after elections
are held in the mines, we will have
to use our economic power and strike"

fling regulations. Increases in wage
rates obtained by organized labor
through collective bargaining are rap

COSTS"
President Green's views were eX-
pressed in addressing the annual din
ner of the Carbondale Central Labor
Union.
The AFL head declared that the
"big danger we face is the establish
ment of a permanent economy regu-
lated and regimented from beginning
to end by the federal government.
That is a step toward totalitarian-
ISM"
"When freedom of enterprise for
labor and for business is wiped out
by the government, every other free
dom enjoyed by the people stands in
jeopardy" he warned.
Green charged that President Tru-
man "listened to the wrong advice"
The President, he said, followed in
competent advisers who concocted a
"magic formula" for him which called
for "the settlement of labor-manage-
ment disputes by government fact
finding boards and for the imposition
of compulsory cooling-of periods"

UE Says Delay
Claim Is False

New York-(FP).-Charges that
the strike of 175,000 General Elec
trio and Westinghouse workers "has
caused or is causing a delay in scien-
tific, medical or atomic research"
were branded as "false and mislead-
ing" March 13 by representatives of
the United Electrical Radio & Machine
Workers.
A joint statement issued by Init.
Reps. Joseph Dermody and Edward
Matthews pointed out that the union
has made special efforts since Jan. Is,
when the strike began, to guarantee
continuation of necessary work on
atomic or medical projects.
The union had asked both GE and
Westinghouse management to give
locals lists of scientific and medical
personnel so thay could give them
identification to pass through picket
lines. Management refused in most in
stances to submit such lists.
DR.. j. A. Hutcheson, Westinghouse
laboratories director, admitted before
the Pittsburgh court of common pleas
Jan. 20 that he and his scientists
were offered such passes by the union
but refused them. Same admission was
made by GE research administrators
in the supreme court at Schenectady,
N. Y, Feb. l3.

THE
GOLDEN RULE
By RUTH TAYLOR

In an excellent editorial in a New
York paper recently, there was one
sentence which greatly impressed me
"The only rule that works both ways
is the Golden Rule
The Golden Rule is the one rule
that if sincerely followed could bring
permanent and enduring peace to all
the world, class against class, race
against race, creed against creed.
The Golden Rule is the solution to
all Of the problems that beset our
world today-and it begins with the
individual. 1t does not require wealth
| to apply it. 1t needs but sincere be-
lief in justice and fair play and an
honest desire to put into practice the
second great commandment "Thou
fshalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
The Gloden Rule is a personal rule
of life. 1t does not demand great sac
.rifices. 1t does not demand great deeds
Eof courage. 1t demands only that each
man do unto his neighbor as he would
be done by.
Under Golden Rule, there are no mas
ter races of Herrenvolk. The rich cam
not say "My interests are vested in
me-" The poor cannot cry MY needs
should come first" The employer can
not put his profit first, nor the work.
er his wages. Nor can any group, by
virtue of class or color or creed, claim
special privilege.
Under the Golden Rule there is no
discrimination and all men not only
have rights but responsibilities. Rights
are but the rewards of duties well
done-and the full duty of man, which
is the distinguishing mark that has
lifted him above the beasts Of the
field, is that he assumes responsibility
for the rights of his neighbor.
The Golden Rule is the law OF. broth
erhood. 1t is the law of kindness and
of friendliness. 1t is the law which
can be followed by the humblest as
well as by those in highest authority.
The Golden Rule is the law of love
Of that love which is the fulfilling Of
the law.
Therefore all things whatsoever ye
would that men should do to you, do
ye even so to them! For this is the
aw and the prophets"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1946-03-28

it is beyond criticism by all except
those who will criticize anything, just
for the hell of it.
1t has been pointed out more than
once that children do not hate each
other on group or religious grounds
until some older person puts the idea
into their heads. And then they can be
really wicked in their prosecutions.
Mr.. johnson points out that the
| Conference is working with the Social
Science Research Council in an ef-
| fort to find out the real causes of
prejudice and hate-to get at basic
causes.
That is well enough and may the
researchers have no fear of truth.
In my previous column | pointed
to economic insecurity as a base
cause. Let me point to somewhat of
an example. In certain city there
was street that years and years ago
was an aristocratic old street-big
houses, "first families" etc.
Business and other encroachment
drove them out. Then it became a
street of Italian immigrants. They
climbed the economic ladder a bit
and moved on. Then it became a Negro
street, which it probably is today.
The classifications didn't mix at all.
They moved in groups, by races.
Years ago lived in a certain Ari-
zona town. Mexicans were laborers
and very cheap. They were called
"greasers" and it wasn't much Of
crime to shoot one, given the slightest
pretext of provocation.
| don't know why Mr.. Johnson
wrote me such long letter-a page
and half. He finds little with which
to disagree in what | wrote and he
might have found less had he read
the entire column.
But | can offer him some more
criticism of the National Conference
of Christians and Jews. And | mean
it kindly, for | sympathize greatly
with its work.
1t uses too much soft language. 1t |
seems, much of the way, to be punch
ing at pillow, uncertain as to just
where lies the kernel Of hate. 1t
doesn't seem to reach the masses.
But it is doing too good job to
quit. Mr.. Johnson points to an Elmo
Roper survey which seems to find
that hate between race groups with
it's mostly among the
rich and that there is little among
the workers. Perhaps that's true. |
1on't know.
But do know that we have in our
