Runaway Powder Puff
TO Get busting

New York (FP)-The Betty Lou
powder puff is in for an interna-
tional dusting.
Betty Lou, in the person of the
A. j. Siris Products Co., it's manu-
facturer and distributor, started
the rumpus when it decided to take
runout powder on its New York
employees and move to the low
wage area of Newport News, Va.
But the New York union, Local
65, Wholesale & Warehouse Work
ers Union which represents the 100
Siris employees here, figured
otherwise. They shipped organ
izers to the new plant in Virginia.
They took steps to organize Siris
plant in Toronto, Canada, and an
other in Lancaster, England.
The Lancaster operation was ar
ranged through Arthur Deakin,
newly-elected president of the
World Federation of Ira d e
Unions, who during his visit to
New York pledged full support
against the runaway.
Local 65 members say Betty Lou
is in for a dusting like she never
has seen before
