One of four Latin American
visitors to address the delegates,
lbanez said all workers are Ell
gagged in a common struggle "for
the attainment of higher degree
of social justice" He said the
workers of the Chilean federation
wished him so say that we in
Chile are fighting hard against
every form of tyranny-the tyran-
ny of capitalistic exploitation
which oppresses morally and ma
terially the men and women of the
working class, and the ideologic
tyranny of totalitarianism which
attempts to impose a uniform way
of thinking and a uniform way of
life"
''In the fight for the triumph of
democracy" he said, the workers
of the south "need the solidarity
and help of all our brothers in
America"

over the news columns. James re-

He made only one attempt at

Building Workers
Granted Increase

Dallas, Tex. (FP)-Some 5000
building trades workers won wage
increases of 6@ cents to 1919 cents
an hour here when the 21 unions OF
the Dallas Building Trades Coun-
Gil after prolonged negotiations
finally won signatures to a 2-year
contract by the Associated Gen
eral Contractors.
The agreement, which blankets
the commercial construction indus
try of this city, will bring in
creases to carpenters, painters,
general building laborers, mortar
mixers and teamsters.
Some five or six trades not in
cluded in the wage rate clause but
joint proposal by the council and
the contractors will be filed with
the Wage Adjustment Board to
remedy the situation.
The contract, which contains a
no-strike clause, provides for re-
opening of the wage provisions on
July 1, 1947, and provides for ne
gotiations of jurisdictional dis
putes and on-the-job grievances
without interruption of work
The negotiations, which lasted
five months and which at one time
threatened citywide building
strike, We're delayed by contract
ors objections to including team
sters and common laborers in the
general contract.
Final inclusion of both groups
was hailed by Business Agent
James b. Turner of Local 745, In
ternational Brotherhood of Team
sters, as signal victory for team
sters, not only in Dallas but
throughout the south.

|CIO Blamed
For Rising
Living Costs

Chicago (FP)-Blame of rising
costs was placed on unions which
followed a "shortsighted policy" of
breaking price ceilings to get 1872
cents hourly wage increases in the
executive council report to the
Goth AFL convention here.
The AFL cooperated fully with
President Truman's executive
ordtr of August 1915 returning
industry and labor to free collec-
tive bargaining with the sole limi-
tation that wage increases should
not break price ceilings, the report
said. From September 1915 to Feb
ruary 1916, the AFL negotiated
thousands of wage agreements,
with a minimum of strikes, accept
ing in many cases smaller in
creases than it had demanded in
order to stay within the govern
ment's wage-price program, it was
pointed out.
"Some unions outside the feder-
alton did not consider the needs of
reconversion," the report said. 1t
cited the series Of CIO strikes in
oil, auto, electric equipment, meat
packing and other industries,
eliminating in the steel strike of
January 1916.
Truman settled the strike by
arranging steel price increase of
5 dollars a ton or per cent be-
fore the steel companies agreed to
grant an 1872 cents wage increase,
the report said, charging: "This
provision for paying wage in
creases throughout industry which
have caused rapid rise in the
cost of living. This drastic
living cost rise need not have oc-
Cured if the Presidents wise wage
policy of Aug. Is had been OBJ
served and if he had insisted that
it remain in effect"
Reindorsing wage policy
adopted at its 1926 convention, the
AFL report said: "The federation
that no true progress
for workers can be made by bring
ing the government between man
and labor in collective
bargaining or by government for
mulas which pay for wage in
creases by raising prices. Wage
increases must be paid out of the
wealth created by ris-
ing production per manhour."

governments. Because the WFTC
is not composed exclusively of free
unions, we refuse to become &
part of the great movement"
Green's denunciation of British
policy in Palestine was followed
by an appeal from Sam Watson
second BTUC fraternal delegate
to "please understand what we are
trying to do in Palestine and GER
tain sections of Europe"
While Green demanded that the
prosecuted Jewish people he adj
mitted to the Holy Land under ar
open door policy, Watson, who is
also secretary of the Durham
Miners Association, stoutly de-
Tended British Foreign Minister
Ernest Bevin.
"While we are anti-communist
one would err to say we are anti
Russian" Watson remarked of the
Labor government. He warned
against any type of criticism of
British policy, adding: Nothing
should be done by organized work
ers anywhere-in France, Holland
Norway or anywhere-that is like
ly to weaken this Labor govern
ment. For if we can show the
world it is possible to have a Labor
government without dictatorship,
we will have advanced our common
cause"
Immediately after the outburst
over AFL relations with the in
ternatonal labor movements,
handbills headlined Isolationism =
A Luxury the AFL can't Afford
were distributed outside entrances
to the Morrison Hotel.
The leaflets were issued by the
Committee for AFL Participation
in the WFTU, which is also send
ing delegation of AFL officials
to the convention to present its
case.
Reprinting the text of resolu-
ton by the Tampa Joint Board Of
the Cigarmakers International
Union urging AFL affiliation in
the name of Samuel Gompers'
union," the leaflet also included
the text of letter to Green from
Mrs. Felicidad Hernandez, secre-
tary of the Tampa board.
"The ALL" said the letter,
"either affiliates with the WFTU
or it embarks upon policy Of
promoting dual labor movements,
rivaling the organizations already
established in Latin America and
in other section Of the world" De-
Tending the WFTU as represent
ing 60 million organized workers,
the letter disagreed with Green's
statement last January which said
that "our bitterest enemies" are
"the CIO and the communists, real
or alleged" The AFL and CIO, the
letter said, find their "bitterest
are the "unscrupulous
who are now seeking
to smash both the AFL, the CIO
and every political expression of
the workers"

AE Labor Press
To Establish
Membership Code

Chicago (FP) - A proposal to
adopt a code of ethics for the labor
press and set up strict membership
requirements by the international
Labor Press of America was set
before the AFL convention Oct. 10.
The ILPA program is step
toward toward applying for direct
AFL recognition, probably within
a year, ILPA End Vice President
Frank X. Martel of Detroit told
delegates.
The labor press issue came be-
fore the convention with state
ment by President William Green
that 1--WE are all aware of the inn
portance of the labor press. We
all appreciate its services"
"We hope in time to obtain
recognition of the ILPA as one of
the duly recognized arms Of the
AFL," Martel said. "But prior to
that we will set up a code of
ethics and requirements for admis-
sion."
He discussed the problems Of
labor papers and urged national,
state and local bodies to prohibit
the use of their names in year
books and other similar advertis-
ing media.
After thanking delegates for
their splendid support" Martel
asked that they give further con
sideration to rendering aid to the
larbor press recognized papers
who are loyal to the AFL."
"We have no room," he said,
"for papers that claim to repre-
sent the AFL and a dual move
ment at the same time"

said the family-type farmers of
