Fist Fight Breaks Out
While SteeIworkers
Debate Raise in Dues
By The Associoted Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 10
Fists flew and for 10 minutes CLIO
President Philip Murray raped for
order today at the closing session of
his United Steelworkers Convention.
The f1st-flghting broke out during
debate over raising union dues from
81 to $3.50 a month, but witnesses
said the men involved were con-
cerned over matters at the Inland
Steel plant at Hammond, Ind.
The convention voted to increase
the dues to $3.50 after an organ
player struck up Pack Up Your
Troubles" in a successful effort to
divert attention of delegates from
the alteration.
The steelworkers also approved a
recommendation calling for con-
solidation Of union districts. The
steelworkers now have 49 districts,
which Mr.. Murray described as too
many for efficient administration.
Schwellenbach Is Speaker.
Secretary Of Labor Schwellenbach
voiced approval of political action
by labor and declared unions lowe
a duty and a responsibility" to the
Nation to improve living standards,
when he addressed the convention
yesterday.
Mr.. Schwellenbach spoke after the
delegates adopted resolution call
ing on President Truman to dis
charge Civilian Production Admin
istrator Small and to repudiate his
suggestion that Congress outlaw
strikes for six months.
The Secretary of Labor told the
convention that whenever a labor
union attempts to do something to
better the conditions OF the people
of the country, that is called insidi-
GUS political activity" If that were
so, Mr.. Schwellenbach added, "then
have been doing insidious things
all my life"
Urges Fight for FEPC.
He urged the convention, and
through it, the CLIO to continue
efforts to have Congress pass such
legislation as the Fair Employment
Practices Committee and the mini
mum wage bills without amend
ments.
He said:
I'VE live in democracy and there
is only one medium through which
the people of this country may
speak and that is at the ballot box.
II don't know of any reason in
the world why the organized work.
ers Of America haven't just as much
right to take an interest in the re-
suits in free election as any other
part of our population"
Charge Small With Betrayal.
The steelworkers charged Mr..
Small with betrayal both of his
duties as civilian production admin
istrator and of his responsibilities to
the American way of life"
Mr.. Small, declaring that he spoke
only as a private citizen said in
Washington Thursday that emer-
gency and temporary legislation
should be passed by Congress be-
cause there was no sign that labor
will now agree voluntarily to holi-
day from strikes or that manage
ment will agree to voluntary arbi-
tration."
The steelworkers' resolution said:
1.-The record of Mr.. Small as the
civilian production administrator
has been one Of a devoted and dedi-
Gated servant to all of those power
ful antlsocial interests
This partisan individual now has
the unmitigated effrontery to pro-
pose that industry's greed for prof.
its be furthered at the expense of
working people by prohibiting
strikes for six month. ="

Caloric Yardstick.
eff these 100000, 900 people should
receive no more relief, and If we as
sumo that their own remaining re-
sources could be evenly distributed,
which they could not, the measure of
their hunger with the caloric yard
stick is about as follows:
about 10O,000,000 people would be
reduced to the 2,000-calory level.
About 100,000,000 more people
would be reduced to an 1,800-calory
level
about 10000, 900 more would be
reduced to a 1,50O-calory level.
About 15O,O00,000 more would be
reduced to a 1,200-calory level.
About 300,000,000 more would be
reduced to a 90O-calory level, or be-
low-and that is slow death.
"As we descend this scale, we move
step by step from the stage of hun
ger to the stage of disease and cpl
denies, to the state of public dis
order, to the stage of starvation of
all but the strongest, and, finally, at
less than 900 calories we come to
mass starvation. The Nazis at
Buchenwald and Belsen gave almost
that amount to their prisoners. But
long before a population is reduced
to these lower levels, government
would break down.
'"The transcendent question is the
available overseas supplies with
which to fulfill this formula. And
I shall discuss breadstuffs only, for
they are the symbols of life and
hope. The problem of fats is no less
urgent, but I will not burden your
memories with more figures than
necessary. And in breadstuffs in

attempting to put away childish things. Because of rapid body de- velopment within this age, they are conscious of many physical imper- fections, including overlarge ears, or noses, or feet, or skin blemishes, which cause anxiety complexes.
 Since development into maturity Is irratic among both boys and girls, they lose the companionship of old friends. Though they refuse many times to listen to the advice of adults, yet unconsciously they are seeking to emulate the behavior pat terms of parents without apparent success. All this creates a world of confusion, and emotional conflict, and only complete understanding and patience with the adolescent will help him to adjust himself to mature life", Dr. Abbate asserted.
 Sense of Responsibility
 Assisting the adolescent to &C., quire a sense of responsibility in the home, in the school and in govern ment would greatly aid these young people in making proper adjust ment, the speaker said, pointing out that student government in New York high schools has greatly aid- ed students in feeling themselves an important part of the education al institution and in doing better scholastic work. t..
 The speaker particularly urged that parents take no offense if they suddenly find themselves ridiculed by their adolescellt offspring, since this particular behaviorism springs from their inability at this time oi life to completely assume the pat terms of adult life, and is a natural reaction to their confusion and feeling of inferiority. Their ad- miration and pride of parents will return, the psychiatrist stated, en- phasizing that at such times par ents must give further assurances of their trust and confidence.
 In conclusion, Dr. Abbate stressed the importance of church schools. and agencies working to- gether to establish meeting places for adolescent6 where they may re- ceive understanding and guidance of experts. She said that teachers are finding their students more difficult to handle at the present time because they reflect the gen. eral unrest of the world. Above all the adolescent must feel an overall security, she explained which could easily be met by the proper study clubs and adult-super- vised recreational activities.

PSychiatriSt Urges Teen
 ]: Age CanteenS Dc Set Up

Much of the stress and difficulty of the adolescent years would be alleviated if agencies had sufficient money to establish teen-age can- teens where youngsters, in the throes of this difficulty transitory period, might find the proper rec reation, understanding and guidance SO direly needed, Dr. Grace Mclean Abbate said yesterday before 8 meeting of the Waterbury Society of Mental Hygiene. More than 300 members of that society, represen- tatives of local social agencies, teachers, and others attended the meeting at St. Johns Parish house.
 A graduate of the Long Island College of Medicine, the speaker worked with the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene and studied at the Cleveland Child Guidance Center. She is now asso- ciated with the Bureau of Child Guidance of the New York City Board of Education.
 The difficulties of more than six- ty percent of. the disturbed and de- Nnquent adoleScents which are be- ing aided by the Bureau, Dr. Abbate asserted, spring from lack of par ental guidance and understanding and emotional stress in the home.
 Seeking Directions
 Emphasizing that youngsters be- tween the ages of l2 and IT, may often appear rebellious to adult di- rection or advice, the speaker said, yet they inadvertently and uncon- Sciously do seek such direction, and stressed the importance of having such proposed teen-age canteens staffed by experts who thoroughly understand the behavior patterns of these young people.
 Explaining the plight of the adol- escent, undergoing bodily changes and attempting to adjust his think ing and his life to new world, Dr. Abbate declared that these young people are usually emotionally un- stable, incomprehensibly idealistic, and dreamy.
 Their situation is not an easy one". said the speaker. They are
