AFL-CIO Reject
1919 Wage Boost

Washington-(FP). - Representa-
tives of the AF'L and CIO unions en-
gagged in discussing the wage prob
lem Of 100000 shipyard workers with
government and industry leaders re-
jected a federal proposal of a 1917
increase Jan. 3, and resumed meetings
here Jan. 5.
Government officials attending the
conference argued that 1919 was all
the industry could absorb without
price increases to the army, navy and
u. S. Maritime Commission, its big
geSt customers.
Apparently Sterilization Director
John C. Collet feels that 10@6 must
be the figure, but before a new con-
tract can be signed, there must be
unanimous agreement between gov
ernment, industry and the unions in
volved.
The AFL Metal Trades Dept. is ask
ing restoration of the real wage of
l941, or 33R boost to cover the cost
of living, minus 7.9f given workers
in wage adjustments during the war
period.
On the other hand, the Intl. Union
of Marine & Shipbuilding Workers is
asking a 17H% hourly boost to cover
wage sacrifices during the war, plus
30% to maintain the wartime take
home pay level.

President Green Raps
Truman Labor Bill

Washington (FP). - Although
indorsing Pres. Truman's proposals
to protect human needs and charg-
ing that Congressional delays have
contributed in large measure to in
dustrial unrest" AFL Pres. William
Green said Jan. that 1--WE do not
agree with the Presidents recon-
mendation for compulsory cooling
off and fact-finding machinery to
deal with labor management dis
putes."
Green said 1--WE consider this cure
worse than the disease, This legis-
lation would be unworkable and dan
gerous. 1t would make wage-fixing
permanent government policy, it
would subject labor and manage
ment to control by government
boards, it would nullify the safe
guards of the Norris-LaGuarda act
by reviving court injunctions against
labor and it would subject labor
unions once more to the vicious doc
trine of conspiracy.
at is not accurate to say that col
leetive bargaining and voluntary ar
bitration have broken down in ma
jor industries such as automobiles
and steel. The plain facts are that
collective bargaining and voluntary
arbitration have never been put to
practice in these industries"

On the full employment bill, which

Public Prefers
Labor To Bosses
As Lawmakers

Denver-(FP) Labor is the 2 to /
winner in a public survey on the ques-
tion of whether it or big business
should have more to say about future
laws.
The survey, taken by the Natl.
Opinion Research Center, showed that
1870 would like to see labor have the
most to say about laws passed during
the next year or two, and only 229e
would like to see big business have the
most to say. Another 23% replied
"both the same" or "neither" and 796
were undecided.
Of the opinion that labor should
have the most to say are 60% ma
jority of laborers and factory work
ers, SAC of protective and personal
service workers, and pluralities of
white collar workers and farmers.
Among standard-of- living groups
$50 of the poor and 51%o of the mid
die class think labor should have the
dominant voice in future legislation.
Reasons given by those who favored
labor included comments like these:
From worker in Provo, Utah: Labor
understands the needs of the COM
mon people best" The wife Of day
laborer in Winston-Salem, N. c., said:
"The laboring classes are the ones
who do most of the work and ! feel
their voice should be the loudest." A
tucker in Wichita, Kans., was one
of number to answer: "Big business
has run the country long enough. Give
the laboring people chance"

their suffering, he said, they were
conscious of goodwill among men,
expressed in "life-saving assistance" F."
Lehman's talk was carried over the
network of the Columbia Broadcast
ing System.
After appealing for continued sup
port for those who have found that
the end of the war has not meant an
end to hunger and pain, Lehman
went into the financial statistics Of
UNRRA. He recalled that Congress
had appropriated $750,000000 of an
authorized second donation of $780,
OOO, 900; that Britain had promised to
make s75000,000 available; that Can
ada had approved a second contribu-
tion of S77,000,000 and that more
than a score of other nations were
preparing to grant more money.
"The funds available to UNRRA
make this a season of hope for mil
lions whose only chance for survival
and new opportunity lies in the aid
from their more fortunate neighbors," "
he said. "They in Europe and we in
North America can observe the adj
vent of the new year 1916 sure in the
blessed knowledge that there is no
Immediate danger of break in the
UNRRA supply line"
Funds "AlI Too Limited"
Lehman then added more SOM
bre note, saying the needs of the suf-
fering were overpowering, and the
prospective resources "all too limited"
1--WE will not be able to bind up
every wound or feed every child who
cries for help" he declared. "The
urgent needs of suffering people are
far greater than our available re-
sources. In the months that lie ahead,
we will need another $500, 100000 to
complete the second contribution re-
Gently authorized by Congress.
Asks Outstanding of Resources
meanwhile, today, as we 30 into
the grimmest winter in Europe since
the Thirty Years War in the seven
teenth century, we must husband our
resources of food-and especially of
wheat, which will be in short supply
so that we can help to keep that un-
happy continent alive during the criti-
cal months that lie ahead

Awurd Grunts
Longshorenen
Wage Rdise

New York-(FP).-New York long
shoremen won 20a6 wage increase
in an arbitration award handed down
here by William H. Davis, granting
all but two of the major demands
which led to the recent 1S-day port
wide strike by rankand-file members
of the Init. Longshoremen's Assn
(AFL).
According to an lila spokesman,
the award will total from $12 mil
lion to $15 million and give some 3d.
900 longshoremen about at $40 week
ly wage boost. The arbitrator granted
$1.50 hourly pay rate instead of
the SIPS rate IL the old contract and
the S1.35 rate agreed on by LILA Pres.
Joseph P. Ryan and shipowners be-
fore the protest strike by lila men,
bers.
Other demands won by the workers
included reduction of the workweek
from "a hours to 40 with time-anda-
half for work on Saturdays, guaran-
tee of four hours pay for any man
hired, 1-week paid vacations, double
time for lunch hours worked and two
shapeups instead of three.
Two principal demands involved in
the strike-reduction of slingloads to
2,240 pounds and increase in size of
work gangs-were denied by Davis
although he ordered insertion in the
contract of guarantees that slingloads
should not jeopardize "health and
safety"
While praising the award as "sub-
stantial progress" Nathan Witt, coun-
sci for the rank-and-file group, call
ed denial of the slingload limitation
unfortunate" and said it deprived
longshoremen in the port of New
York of conditions won years ago by
longshoremen elsewhere in this coun-
try" He contended that Ryan failed to
present case (which would have
compelled the arbitrator to recognize
the just demands of the men on those
issues"

sure that the overwhelming mass of
our citizens favor this legislation and
want their Congressman to vote for
it." he said.
Truman recalled he had "asked that
Congress raise substantially the
amount of the minimum wage now
provided by law" and again backed
up the Csc minimum wage bill that
is still held in the House and Senate
labor committees.
The President sounded tired and
fed up with Congressional delays as
he reported: "And so it goes with
measure after measure now in the
Congress. Time is running out. There
are other problems comprehensive
scientific research, universal training,
a health and medical care program;
an adequate salary scale for federal
employees, the presidential succession,
the river valley (MVA) development
and others. He tagged the real trouble
when he said it is "the committees
which hold up action on these bills.
Indeed, it is usually not even the whole

gress on these measures of majority

sues-and that they give them that
chance soon"

The plan also applies to uses Of

Zoning, the secretary continued,
is based on public health, safety,
morals and general welfare. By
comprehensive zoning, a city is
able to stabilize the character Of
development, thereby conserving
values and protecting investments
Under zoning provisions, strict
ly residential areas are provided
on which no commercial or In
