Coop Gives Aid To Mine Strike With Cash Grant

ROCK, Michigan = The Coop Store and oil association of this Upper Peninsula farming community donat- ed $10O to the relief of striking miners in the Michigan iron mines, while the smaller Coop Store in nearby Ish- peming gave one-half of its $20O to- tai net earnings for 1945 to the same cause. The donations were voted by the recent membership meetings of the two associations.
 "The action of the Rock area farm CTS is an adequate answer to the in- terests that are always trying to keep the farmer and the city worker at swords points" commented Arnold J. Rom, Asst. General Manager of Cen tra1 Cooperative Wholesale, who at- tended the meetings. 'It proves again that through the Cooperative move ment those two groups of American common men discover that their best interests are identical
 "What particularly impressed me-" Rom said, "was the eagerness and enthusiasm with which both member ships voted the strike relief. There wasn't even a faint hint of opposition at either meeting"

Auto Parts Assn. Issues Call For Fight On Labor
Trade Organ Urges National Campaign To Scuttle
 Govt Agencies

DETROIT (FP)-The Automo- bile Tool & Die Manufacturers Assn, composed of most of the important tool and die firms supplying the auto industry, has called on small business to "save itself from ruin by unions" by uniting in a nationwide campaign of defiance of government labor agency edicts.
 Since it is impossible to amend the unfair Wagner act by nor mai means, business is advised to force change in the law by simply refusing to obey labor agency de- cisiOns. The employer group makes this recommendations in the current issue of its publication, Tool Trends.
 Small business from one end of the country to the other, in all fields, should unite in adoption of the un- ions own tactics which have served them so we'll defiance of law by edict," :" Tool Trends urges.

Six Out Of Ten Veterans Still Seeking Homes
Only Brass Hats Can Get Houses Under U. 5.
 Program"

Washington (LPA)-MOre than 6O% of a representative group of married enlisted men who were dis charged from service last December still were without suitable homes or apartments of their own three to four months later, it was revealed this week by the Natl Housing Agency and the Veterans Adminis- tratiOn.
 Both agencies viewed this as em- phasizing anew the acute need for speeding construction under the Vet erans Emergency Housing Program. One vital part of that program to build 2,700,000 homes is the Wagner Ellender- National Housing Bill, which is the subject of hearings be- fore the House Banking Committee beginning this week.
 Brass Hats Make Out
 "Only the brass hats can get houses under the veterans program as it now stands" veterans were quoted as com blaming bitterly. Supporters of the General Housing Bill already okayed by the Senate-were concentrating pressure for their bill on the fact that it provides low-cost housing, if neces- sary through public financing, in con trast with the private construction program now in operation.
 ''Many of those who were able to find their own living quarters" the joint FHA-VA survey found, ''had to pay more than they had planned. For example, at the sepa- ration centers, only 89o said they could afford to pay more than $50 a month; about twice that number -l6%o are now paying more than $50. At the other end of the scale, APO said at the separation centers that they would have to remain be- low $50; actually, only 259o were able to do sO.'
 Meanwhile, Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt warned that there still were not enough apprentice building craftsmen to do the job. He predicted a serious manpower shortage in six months unless unions and contractors double and redouble their efforts to expand the ranks of apprentices in the skilled construction crafts" He cited a 1920 increase in the number of building trades apprentices in April over March.

Harold Stassen Again Qeers Chances Of Backing By Labor
Apes Pegler On
 "Right-To-Work"

ATLANTIC CITY (LPA)- Harold Stassen, former gov ernOr of Minnesota and con- sidered as the outstanding hope of ''liberal' Republic ans for the l948 elections, queered himself once again with organized labor last week in an address to 37th annual Rotary convention here.
 Stassen, who had already alien- ated labor by his demand for re- strictive legislation, advanced a 7- point ''IabOr plan" which in some instances echoed the union-busting Christian Americans in declaring that ''We must develop the right to work to take its place alongside the right to strike.''' ''
 Stassen also called for establish ment of Tabor court of high stand ing and with power to make decisions on the jurisdiction between unions in this country, and the jurisdictional strike must be outlawed" Another point of the plan provided for gov ernment intervention in a dispute with a cooling-off period.
 -Stassen once again denounced President Truman's slave labor les islative program as s'totalitarian" and asserted that it would permit the government to s'break and de- stroy" any business or union.

Of A .DOublecross In
 Rochester Seen
Mediator Is Recalled As Union-Busting Attitude Of
 City Is Renewed

Rochester (LPA)-Rochester city officials apparently were prepared last week to doub1ecross the AFL and CIO unions whose one-day general strike forced the administration to agree to discuss recognition of an AFL union as bargaining agent for city workers.
 A New York state mediator, An drew Doyle, returned to Rochester at the request of the AFL State, County X Municipal Employees, who were given reason to believe that the administration was ready to walk out on its promises. The union was aroused when a city off, cial, whom they would not name, declared that the city fathers would not recognize any union. Doyle conferred separately with Louis B. Cartwright, city manager, and the joint union strategy committee.
 The renewed union-busting attitude of the Republican administration jeop- ardized the agreement reached on May g following the general strike. The joint strategy committee had won from the city the guarantee that 489 employees whose jobs were abolished in the midst of an AFL organizing drive would be returned to their jobs and that disorderly conduct charges against 267 pickets arrested during the dispute would be dropped. Finally the city agreed to recognize any union of its employees which was '1oya1 to the US. and does not claim the right to strike against the public"

New Zealand Passes Minimum Wage Act, Family Benefits

WELLINGTON, N. z, May B. The Labor government of New Zea- land has put into effect new Mini mum Wage and Family Allowance" acts.
 The former sets wage floor equiv- alent to 66 cents an hour in American money, about the same as proposed Tn the minimum wage Dill now before the U. s. Congress.
 The New Zealand act was passed as insurance against possible wage cuts in the future, and has no impor tance now, because all wage rates are we'll above that level.
 Under the new Family Allowance Act, the government pays $40 a week tor each child under the age of 16. The money is paid to the mother. It makes no difference whether the fam fly IS rich or poor.
 Formerly, no family could get such allowances if its income was above a specified limit.
