Building Service Employees
Union Gives Uni. Course

Chicago. Sixty top-flight officers
of Is AFL building service employees
unions enrolled for a labor and eco
nomics course at the University of
Chicago.
The 10 weeks course will be COM
pleted in 10 1-night sessions. Ma
tionally known authorities will lee
ture from prepared manuscripts, then
hold a symposium at which general
discussion will take place A Univer-
sity of Chicago secretary will trans
cribe the proceedings, and the Indus
trial Relations Center of the Univer-
sity will condense the entire eve
nings work into or 5 pages, all to
be formed into packet for general
distribution among officers of the
Building Service Employees Interna-
tional Union throughout the United
Seates and Canada.
I'VE plan to have the best posted
group of officers in America for our
local unions," said William l.. Nc
Fetridge, general president of the In
ternational. "We believe that with our
officers thoroughly versed in the de-
tails which go toward making respon-
sible union leadership, our negotia-
tions with employers on behalf of our
membership can be more intelligently
effected. The general public, knowing
that our local unions are led by men
and women thoroughly versed in the
rights of workers, employers, the COM
munity, and the government itself, will
support us in such negotiations as we
are asked to conduct in the future"
I'VE are going even further than
arranging this course for our officers, :"
continued Mr.. McFetridge. "We are
starting now arranging for course
for our union stewards, also to be held
in conjunction with the Industrial Re-
lations Center of the University of
Chicago. This course also will include
sections for our organizers and busi-
ness agents. 1t will start Immediately
after the course for the officers. The
officers also will attend the course
for the stewards"

AFL Metal Trades Win
Big Pay Hike In Coast
Shipyards & Navy Yards

Washington, D. C.-AFL Meta
Trades unions scored two significant
victories in their battle to have ar
18-cent-an-hour increase put into eff
feet for 100000 workers in the ma
tons private shipyards and for 200,-
900 in the government navy yards.
Their first big "break" came on the
Pacific Coast. There, at coast ship
building stabilization conference -
participated in by representatives OF
labor, management and government
agencies-the parties agreed to the
raise. 1t will apply to an estimated
175,000 workers, 40 percent of the ma
tion's total.
Under resolution adopted by the
parley, the increase will be retroac-
tive to December a on all work being
performed for the government and
the cost of which is reimbursable un-
der contracts between the yards and
the federal procurement agencies
army, navy and Maritime Commits
sion.
Where costs are not reimbursable
the effective date of the increase was
set for March 4. Union officials said
this sort of agreement will apply only
to a few small yards which have been
engaged in private, not government
shipbuilding work.
Also, the unions won their battle to
retain an 116 percent pay differen-
tial on ship repair work, above the
rate on work in new ship construc-
ton.
Meanwhile, a delegation of AFL
Metal Trades representatives headed
by James Brownlow, secretary-treas-
urer of the Metal Trades Department,
called upon top navy officials in
Washington on Wednesday and asked
that an 1S-cent increase also be put
into effect Immediately for 100000
workers in the government-owne
navy yards.
Navy chiefs previously promised
that whatever raise the private yards
accepted would be paid in the navy
yards, as well, and the union heads
insisted that the time had come to
fulfill the promise. They asked, too,
that the increase be made retroactive
to December a.
Their call got real results. Assist
ant Secretary John l.. Sullivan assur-
ed the delegation the Navy Depart
ment would honor it's promise-and
would put the 18-cent increase into eff
feet before the end of this month, with
out waiting for other "holdout" pri-
vate yards to apply the raise.

ANTISTRIKE BILL
Senators Drafting Mediation
Measure

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-As
predicted by International Labor News
Service, the Senate Labor Committee
killed the drastic Case antistrike bill
and has drafted 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 sin
dependent federal mediation board"
"The only thing left of the Case
bill is it's number and it's title" Ell
lender said. "Our substitute is one in
which management, labor and the pub
lie will have confidence"
Three-Step Plan
The Louisiana Senator is one Of z
committee members appointed to study
the House-passed legislation sponsor
ed by Representative Case of South
Dakota, and numerous proposals by
Senators and draft comprehensive
plan for dealing with labor disputes.
Ellender reported the new bill in
wolves three-step plan. First, en-
couragement of "real collective bar
gaining" with provisions in contracts
for settlements of all grievances.
Second, conciliation and mediation
by the new board which would be in
dependent of the government but hous-
ed in the Labor Department. The Case
bill would have set. up government
board
Arbitration Included
Third, plan for voluntary arbi-
tration" if the first steps fail.
President Truman's suggestions for
fact-finding boards" and cooling off
periods" were discarded.
Ellender added that the Senate
group also rejected House provisions
for equal legal responsibility between
management and labor, including suits
against unions for breach of con-
tract.

part in the Cardinal victory, second only to the role of Pesky.
 "I guess that means the end oi my shortstopping days" the down. hearted Pesky said in the Red Sox dressing room after the game. But Cronin would have no talk of that kind. He patted Pesky on the back and said we lost to great club"
 Later, talking to reporters, he said Pesky was "a grand fielder, a great hitter and he'll be the Red Sox shortstop for a long time to come .'
 Freshman Dyer Happy
 Cronin was one of the first-Com- missioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler led the way-to go to the Card dress ing room and congratulate Manager Eddie Dyer and his players.
 Dyer shook hands, looked over to where Brecheen was undressing for a shower and said:
 There's the guy. He never failed me all year and he didn't let me down today. Imagine, in my first season as a major league manager I won the series"
 Words failed him then. It was the end of a long, hard journey which started back with February's Spring training. Odds on favorites to win the pennant, the Cards finally came through after playoff against the Brooklyn Dodgers and then, as underdogs, whipped the Red Sox in their Series.

Jersey Sues Track For Money Stolen From Racing Fans

Jersey Justice" is more or les! ok c catch-phrase as has been con. slstently demonstrated within re cent years; more recently wher young King Lear, the former loca sports broadcaster, got IS years anc Q terrible beating from two biz cops as a stickup man using a TOY GUN; but the absolute A karat lead-pipe payoff is the current court acrobaticS, wherein the state of New Jersey is suing the Garden State race track owners at Camden for more than $323,00O "breakage' money, which belongs to the fans who bet on the horses at the track but is literally stolen from them and split between the state and the track.
 Not content with standing by
 a6 no less than THREE race
 tracks were built in New Jersey
 during the past 3 years at Cam
 den, Atlantic City, and Ocean,
 fort; despite the fact that thou
 sands of its CT. war veterans are
 probably without shelter; the
 Skeeter State is now suing the
 track for money that belongs to
 the people.
 ''Breakage"- most racing
 fans know, is the odd pennies
 nearest to a nickel (and some
 times 8 dime) that figure in 8
 payoff of a ticket; but the win
 ner does not get such money, be- cause the tracks do not want to
 be bothered handling pennies
 as such work would cut down the
 total 'take" for any given day,
 because of loss of time.
 So the track-owners, with the blessing of the states (practically all states where racing Is con- drlcted) splits such money belong ing to the bettor; giving the legal owner nothing, but taking from him the pennies Sometimes as high as g centS) because the track can't afford to lose time paying of the EXACT AMOUNT each ticket calls for. For instance, if you have 8 g win ticket on horse that actually figures $2.19; you will get $2.10; the odd g cents being split between track and state. Nothing more or less than barefaced rob- bery, in which every state that takes breakage money from a track has part; for the money belong ing to "the people" is not even given to worthy charity.
 Another nifty little novelty in New Jersey is this; if the daily wagering (by the chumps) reaches $1, ,25O, 900 the state steals ALL of the fans breakage money; other wise the track gets part of it on sliding scale"
 Steel, wood, concrete, brick, etc, Al priority stuff needed for hous- ing has been put into racetracks in New Jersey, which now has THREE; though the state is one of the small est in the USA. as the former soldiers, sailors and marines stand around and wonder WHAT PRICE

Series Stuff

While 1t may now be officially recorded that Ted Williams, the man who wants $80, 900 to play for Boston Sox next season, was the prize All-American bust of the 1946 World Series, there was one Water brrian who did not give up until the last out of yesterdays final game. AS matter of fact he asked and received $250 against $50 that Williams would hit home run in the final game; and, if you will recall, on Theodore's first two times at bat, he made very good effort to put the ball in the stands; Slaughter making long sprint to pull down the Williams drive in the very first inning. Ted hit an- other long ball later, but not quite far enough to win $250 for his local packer, whose confidence, in the light of Williams performance in six previous games, might be de- scribed as the "heighth of optim- ism" Wonder if that Boston magazine writer will bob up again with his $64 question; What's the matter with Cronin?" having had to eat his words all season long slice his article was published; Cronin answering the question by directing his club to the first Red 6ox pennant in 28 years; then les ing . 7-game World Series as 5 to 1 favoriteS.

Aside from a relatively very few shockers, last week was even more even-tenored than usual. The Will liamson System was 86.3 percent correct on its predictions on 288 scores reported.
 Again most of the upsets were in the lower brackets. Wichita topping Drake 12-6 and Southern Methodist racking up 15-7 against the Feni- more-less Oklahoma A. & M. Cow pokes caused comment on Friday naturally!
 However, California %. St. Mary's 13; Indiana 14, Illinois T; and Wis consin 20, Ohio State 6, were in retrospect more or less mild re- versals of form. William and Mary running wild by 49-to-0 over Vir- ginia Poly was jolting as they come, and West Virginia 6, Washington and Lee 0, also came as a surprise
