FOREIGN MINISTER'S:
Germany Next

Having cleaned up the Balkan
peace pacts, the foreign ministers
of the Big Four agreed to undertake
the thorny issue of a German treaty
in Moscow next March.
The decision came as the U. S.
and Britain determined to unity their
two occupation zones to speed up the
economic recovery of western Ger
many and trim their relief burdens,
and continental Europe, once de-
pendent upon the Reich for essential
supplies, continued to lag in recon-
struction.
U. S. consent to conduct the parIey

lotov promised Secretary of State
Byrnes that newsmen would be CIV
en- both freedom and facilities for
reporting the meeting. Byrnes in
sisted that newsmen had not been
afforded suitable accommodations

FREIGHT RATES:

Interstate Commerce commission

water carriers an average 176 per
cent freight rate increase and per-
hitting railroads to maintain 10
per cent passenger fare boost.
Noting that wage costs alone
since 1941 have mounted by 81 ,382,-
100000 annually, ICC declared that
the new rates were necessary ~
for maintenance and development
of the transport system to meet ma
tional needs, and (2) to assure the
movement of high volume of traf-
fic efficiently.
Rates on commodities other than
those especially treated were in
creased by 20 per cent under the

tural products and livestock Except
fruits and vegetables) were boosted

were allowed on many items to
maintain the competitive balance

LABOR:
Packer Peace

Meat conditions continued to look
rosy for the American housewife
with the AFL and CLIO packing
house unions coming to terms with
the big packers on new contracts
without resorting to costly strikes.
The AFL Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butchers Workmen set the
pattern for peace in the industry by
agreeing with Swift on a 715 cent
an hour wage increase, higher pay
for night work, a better vacation
plan, pay for eight holidays and re-
duction of geographical wage differ
entails. Including all benefits, the
total hourly increase amounts to IL
cents.
Not to be outdone, the CLIO United
clearinghouse Workers of America
then signed with Cudahy for an
average wage increase Of Is cents,
extra night pay, sick leave plan,
compensation for eight holidays and
elimination of geographical wage
differentials. At the same time, the
CLIO union also reached agreement
with the Tobin Packing company of
Fort Dodge, Iowa, on a new con-
tract providing for guaranteed en-
ployment of So weeks.

AS result of a Supreme court
decision of last June 10 decreeing
that employees of the Mount Glenn
ems Potters company were entitled
to compensation under the fair la
Dor standards act of 1888 for walk
ing to their jobs on plant property,
American industry faced the pros
pect of being forced to shell out
hundreds of millions of dollars of
back pay.
Wasting no time in taking advan-
tage Of the court ruling, the CLIO
United Steelworkers and CLIO Auto
Workers filed suits in the Cleve-
land, Ohio, federal court for back

Steelworkers asked IS million dol
lars for $4,000 employees of Re-
public Steel company and 80 mil
lion dollars for 10000 workers of
American Steel and Wire. The Auto
Workers seek 1912 million dollars
for 1000 employees of Ohio Crank
shaft company.
At least one employer, faced with
the prospect of being forced to pay
help for time spent in reaching their
jobs in the plant, settled with the
union. Dow Chemical company of

SXZE[CdllNKY

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Popular
pastime in the capital these days is
second-guessing what action the Su-
preme Court may take in connection
with John L. Lewis appeal of his
contempt conviction and subsequent
fine of the United Mine Workers I'M
ion amounting to $3,5O0,000 and his
personal fine of $4,000.
There are three lines of thought
advanced by those who profess to
have some knowledge of the law and
the facts in the case. One is that
Mr.. Lewis has about a $3.50 chance
of reversing the district court on the
theory that the Norris-LaGuardia Act
applies in his case and that therefore
the injunction was invalid an
other that the injunction law doesn't
apply and that the conviction will be
upheld, and the third reasoning, and
one which is held to have some logic,
is that the supreme court may not
even take the Norris-LaGuardia law
into consideration, but will uphold
the contempt conviction on the
grounds that whether or not the In
junction law was applicable, Lewis
was still guilty of contempt in re-
fusing to abide by the temporary re-
straining order of the court until
hearing could be held and the court
ruled. In the latter case, the court
would not even rule on the constitu-
tionality of the Act itself as it APP
plies to the government usage in
strike cases.
In either case, the thinking
here is that Lewis may win out
in the end by obtaining increas-
ed wages for his miners in a new
contract with operators and the
contempt fine will not materially
hurt the mine union. The union
is rich and the report is that they
have about 1872 million dollars
in available cash and in addition
the union has other millions of
dollars in assets such as the Old
University Club building here in
Washington on Mcpherson So.
which is used as mine headQuar-
tiers and large insurance build
ing across the square. Then the
union holds real estate in other
cities such as indianapolis. 1t
also owns several coal mines and
the report is that the total
wealth of the United Mine Work.
ers union is rated at some IS
million dollars. But, in the mean
time, congressional leaders are
working frantically to get to-
gether labor legislation which
will curb Lewis and other labor
leaders with the idea of rushing
it through the congressional mill
in time for the truce deadline of
March 81, set by Lewis.
