WAGE CONTROLS OUT; BUILDING TRADES
UNIONS ARE URGED TO FILE ALL new
WAGE RATES WITH DAvI5-BAC0N DIVISION

AS a result of the removal of
price ceilings by President Tru-
man, the last vestiges of wage con-
trolls have been eliminated. AL
though there has been considerable
relaxation in wage controls since
VI Day for the greater part of
organized labor, wage controls
have continued in effect, with al
most the same restrictions as ex-
listed during wartime, for the build
ing and construction trades whose
wage rates were subject to the ap-
proval of the Wage Adjustment
Board.
Now, however, the building and
construction trades unions are free
to put into effect all wage rates
arrived at by collective bargaining
without approval of any sort from
the Wage Adjustment Board or
any other governmental agency.
Although approval of wage
rates by governmental agencies
is no longer necessary for the
building trades unions, these un-
Arizona sun., 1946-11-29

ions must recognize that the fed
eral government will approve on
f e d eral construction projects
only those rates which are regis
tered under the provisions of the
DaviS-BacOn Act, as was true in
the preWar period. Thus it is
essential that all building trades
unions which negotiate new
wage rates should report these
rates to the Davis-Bacon division
so that they may be paid on fed
eral construction projects.
For all of organized labor the
revocation of remaining controls
means that at last free collective
bargaining is restored without gov
ernmental restrictions of any kind.
The relaxation of controls began
shortly after VI Day when Presi-
dent Truman issued Executive Or
der 9039. In the months following
the issuance of the latter order,
the governments "Wage Price
Policy" was developed, culminat-
ing in the issuance of Executive
Order 9697 which unwarrantedly
tied wage increases to price in
creaseS.
All of these restrictions, how
ever, have now been abolished, and
free collective bargaining is again
the order of the day. It should be
noted that ever since VI Day the
American Federation of Labor has
consistently stood for the removal
of all controls, and that it pro-
tested the basic assumptions of the
Administrators "Wage-Price Pol
ICY" The action of the President
in this regard is thus fully in ac-
cord with the stand of the A. F.

MINERS STORY: I LOAD A CAR OF COAL
FOR ABOUND OF MEAT
BY WALTER LOWENFELS
The Daily Peoples World

Washington, Pa, Nov. 21-
Hatred for high prices runs like a
black vein through the talk of
striking soft coal miners in west
ern Pennsylvania.
It's the Number One beef among
most of the dozens of miners with
whom I spoke today, in small knots
around the mine parches and in
the beer parlors.
II load one car of coal for one
pound of meat" Pete Singela burst
out as he joined other VeSta Num-
Der Four miners across the road
from the Daisytown post office,
south of Pittsburgh.
IT get two weeks pay. It's gone
the first couple of days for bread,
clothes, house; nothing left even
for beer. Then you wait for the
next two weeks pay"
This grizzled veteran of 46 years
in the mines grabbd his Army
shirt. "My son gave it to me. I
couldn't buy one."
Dig frank LOOK mold OF his big
red plaid shirt: "Ten dollars and I
was glad to find them. 1 bought
three-$30."
Many are disgusted with the 81
hour week they have been work.
lng-nlne hours day, six days a
week, in the dark coal earth. '"It's
Ii to 14-hour day from the time
l leave at 5 a. m. until get home
IN the evening, and the air is bad.
Then, when get home, for two
hours 1 can't stand straight from
bending over all day. We want a
4O-hour week, same pay"
But the talk always returns to
prices and money. Honest, mister"
SAID one miner, at the Blue Dia-
mond Grill in Richyville, "the coal
miner has no mony. The business
man has it ALL"
,, A young chap, Albert, chimed
IN: The big shots have got it all
but $13. We got to split that up
! between u.s." It was a bitter wise
crack, with the $13 standing for
odd cents.
"Injunctions?" asked Terry.
what does it mean? Maybe il
means something in the White
House. Here, miners don't work.
So what?"
! mo pork, no work." one miner
changing the old slogan, mo con-
tract, no work." to meet the new
conditions.
In one miners home, his wife
broke in: II don't see any head
way. We don't have any money
ahead. Besides that, there's Christ
mas coming"
The holiday mood of last May
when the miners went out on their
victorious wage strike, has been
replaced with grim and ironic
desperation that they've got to do
something new to meet the price
of things.
"The stores raised the prices even
before we got the -$1.85 more a
day." Albert said. I don't care
what you get paid. They jack up
prices, and you just can't make it."
Many recited how their two
weeks pay, running gross around
$1OO-$12O, wasn't enough to 60
around. One coal loader making
over 5000 started buying a house,
and now it's in the soup.
Joe Herskowitz, a Navy veteran,
came into one miners home with
his new bride: "It's\ not what you
make. It's what your living stand
ards are. In our min, more than
half the men are veterans. The
pay was all right when I got back
to the mines last June. Now you
pay damn near double for every
thing you buy"
! "When tn poor coal miner don't
work, evrybody goes hungry" said
an old-timer.

German fried potatoes became
known as the American fried type
so there was and Is no difference
between them, after all!
The French fries are something
else again. however. For these, raw
potatoes are peeled and cut into
thin strips, about a quarter of an
inch thick Much thinner, they
become potatoes julienne, or shoe.

with salt and pepper while they
drain on brown paper. To make
them extra crisp, many chefs soak
them, before frying, in ice water
for 80 minutes, and then dry them
with a towel before plunging them
into hot fat.
The late Arthur Deute, one of the
best-known gourmets in this cot,n.

tatoes to go with roast lamb. He
first baked the potatoes, not too
long, then cooled and peeled them.
Then the potatoes were sliced as
for German fry. and fried in very
hot fat skinned from the roasting
lamb. They must be salted, pep
pered and served at once for best
results-and use the hottest plat.

Salads for Spring

Green leaf salads are the true"
salads and have been, for CEN
turies. The cave man took to green
leaves when he was of his feed,
and the sick Nebuchadnezzar knew
what was good for him when he ate
"grass"-probably lambs lettuce or
similar wild green. Pussy likes her
catnip-and SO it goes.
Those of us who live in or near
the country can sometimes find
these greens on our Sunday strolls.
But even citybound residents can
usually get things like poke salad
and dandelion greens in the big
markets where farmers bring their
produce.
Take good dandelion salad, for
instance. You can wash and pick
over the leaves, break them into
pieces, and then serve them, crisped
and cool, with French dressing sea-
soning with mustard, and chopped
hard-cooked egg., Or you may pre-
fer this one:
Make mixture Of cup of sour
cream, an egg, beaten, a dash OF
salt, teaspoon Of butter and a
couple of teaspoons of sugar. Add
a tablespoon of vinegar. Let this
just come to the boil, and then pour
over the washed and crisped dande-
lions which have been sprinkled with
chopped cooked bacon.
