with the American Federation of

taken by the Brotherhood of Railroad
Signalmen as record delegation as
sembled here for the unions conven-
ton. The Signalmen had been an

controversy.

gains by the organization in the past
two years. He also outlined a long
range program by the union to OBJ
tain better conditions for signalmen.
Former President A. f. Lyon, who
has been on leave as executive secre-
tary of the Railway Labor Execu-
tives' Association, declared that
amendments to the Railroad Retire
ment and Unemployment Insurance
Acts, passed by Congress, not only
reflect great credit on the rail unions,
but "plow new ground in the field Of
social security.
As delegates swung into heavy
budget Of business, the convention
voted to increase officers salaries in
line with the raise recently received
by rail workers, and also to increase
dues to keep up with advancing costs
Of administering union. A number
of other changes in the constitution
were approved.
Addressing the convention, William
]. Kennedy, new chairman Of the
Railroad Retirement Board, hailed
the amendments to the Railroad Re-
tirement and Unemployment Insur-
ance Acts as "an example and in
spiration to all the nations indus
tries" These amendments were ap-
proved only after long and bitter
struggle by union leaders.
Kennedy told in simple terms just
how much the new amendments mean
to the men and women who guide the
"Iron Horse" and how they consti-
tute a new high in social security
legislation.

Chicago (FP)-The 11-week strike
of 800 British Columbia Foundry and
Pattern Shop workers ended with
management acceptance of the pro-
posals of a federal conciliator for an
interim agreement, the international
Union of Mine, Mill & Smelter Work
ers announced here. More than 20
separate plants were closed down dur
ing the strike, called by Vancouver

Local 289.
Management refusal to accept the
conciliation proposal prolonged the
strike since late last month. The
union is demanding a 15c hourly wage
increase. The conciliator appointed
by the Provincial Government recon-
mended that the strike be ended with
an immediate 10c raise with an addi-
tional decision to be made by the con-
ciliator on the balance Of the amount
demanded.
At the same time union pressure

NotionoI Campaign
TO Enroll Nurses
In AFL Launched

New York City.-A national drive
to organize registered graduate
nurses in the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal En-
ployees Union (AFL) has been
launched here.
Seven hundred nurses and others,
heard national leaders of the organi-
zation declare that only through such
union could harsh working condi-
tions be remedied
Under the plan presented to the
nurses similar organization meetings
would be held in other cities. Nurses
unions already organized in such
cities as Chicago, Los Angeles, San
Francisco and in New York, would
be .amalgamated into National
Council of Nurses.
Roderick Macdonald, national di-
rector of organization, said the union
has drawn up an 80-point program
that would include a $4,000 annual
minimum salary for all registered
nurses and a 40-hour week. He re-
ported that these demands have been
presented to Commissioner of Hos
pitals Edward M. Bernecker. Mr.
Macdonald said that the commits
sioner and Mayor O'Dwyer have dis
cussed the program and would prob
ably meet with him soon.
Arnold S. Zander, national presi
dent of the organization, told the
nurses that the fight was their own,
but that every facility of the AFL
would be thrown behind them to
achieve a decent standard of living
and working. This, he said, was long
overdue.

for such high proportion of viola
