For some years We have been told
to eat carrots for vitamin \, spinach

Usually, we have thought that one
carrot was just as good as another,
and that any green bean contained
all the minerals that d green bean
should have. That idea has eh2nged

logical idea that the products Of the

.OPA Is
Hanging
In Balance

WASHINGTON, May 13-
| HPA)-The fate of the OPA
extension measure in the
Senate was still uncertain
last week, while even OPA's
friends were expressing concern
about the price-boost conces-
sions that the agency was MAX
ing without waiting for Con-
gress.
The Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee, after a week
devoted to hearing top-drawer
Administration stabilization Of
ficials urge extension of the
Price Control Act without a.
Imendments, was in executive
session.
Wagner Promises Help
Committee chairman Robert
F. Wagner ID, N.Y., in state
ment to constituents acknoWl-
edging the '"flood" of letters he
had received urging effective
price and rent controls, promis-
ed that II intend to do my ut
most to bring out a bill under
which OPA's authority to con-
troll prices and rents will be eff
fectively continued, to help
stabilize the American economy
in the difficult period ahead"
However, Republican men,
bers, as well as southern Demo-
Gratis, were preparing to fight
hard in the committee for their
own series of crippling amend
ments. Senators Robert A. Taft
(R,, ,Ohio) and Homer Capehart
(R., ,Ind.) have already indicated
that they think the House emas-
fculation of~the Price Control
Act went too far"
Labor leaders, while express
ing grave concern over the
flood of decontrol orders that
OPA Administrator Paul Porter
has issued in recent weeks, have
been urging further pressure on
Congressman. Senators have
yet to vote at all, and the House
may have an opportunity to vote
again on the OPA bill.

Gray Warns Of
Dues Changing
Urges Members To
Seek Office Help

Randolph Gray, Local IL
financial secretary, in a letter
to the UNION JOURNAL warns
all Local IL members who are
paid in advance to check their
dues to make certain that they
do not become in arrears and
become suspended.
Gray'S letters follows:
"The International Executive
Board in their Chicago meeting
adopted a recommendation con-
cerning the membership record
of those members who have
paid their dues in advance but
failed to pay the additional So
cents per month required by the
international as result of the
Atlantic City Convention in
creaSing the monthly dues to
S1.50 a month.
Boards Recommendations
The following recommenda-
tionS were made by the UAW-
ICIO Board:
II Local Unions shall advise
all such members before July l,
1946 of the total amount re-
quired to make them fully paid
lup.
p When member fails to
pay the required amount with
in a reasonable time, the fin
ancial secretary of the Local
Union shall apply in payment
thereof, the dues for the last
month or months covered by
the advanced dues payment.
81 The dues payment for
such months shall be automati-
cally cancelled and in all cases
the member notified of the ap-
Iplication of his dues, to pay
tment of the amount owing be-
cause of the increase in dues.
Gray's Statement
Continuing, Mr.. Gray's state
ment said:
There would be no advantage
in our changing your advanced
dues payments to the addition
al dues, due to the fact that it
is possible that when we make
this change that, you would be
automatically suspend you from
membership.
Watch Your Dues
IF you have paid your dues
for the entire year 1946 at the
rate of $1.00 a month, because
of the increase of the dues to
$3.50, you would now owe an
additional $4,00 to pay for
the balance of the year. This
plus $1.00 for the international
assessment, or your Unit levy if
they have not been previously
paid. Any meeting fines or as
sessments which your Unit may
have adopted is also due and
payable.

Textile Contract
oIks Are Slowed
Workers Seeking
1872 Cents Raise

Negotiations between the
Textileather Corporation and the
Textile Workers Union-CIO
which began March Is, have re-
mained deadlocked since May
Z, when the union withdrew
after no further progress could
be made, it was stated by Ken
meth DeLong, TWU representa-
tive on Tuesday of this week.
Principal obstacles to settle
|ment of the agreement between
the union and company are
wages and a cancellation clause
sought by the union.
Insertion of the cancellation
clause into the contract would
give both the company manage
ment and union the right to re-
open wage negotiations once
during the life of the agreement
following a 30-day period and
the right to cancel the contract
after 10 days written notice by
either party.
Sought by the union is an

crease with the company Offer
ing Is per cent increase and

iected both company proposals.
