Court Ruling Switches Open
Shop Fight Back To Floridu

Tampa, Fla.-(FP) The open shop
became hot issue in what has been
drowsy Florida political campaign
after the U. s. supreme court shunted
the hotly-contested right-to-worll
amendment back to the state courts
for decision before ruling finally
on its constitutionality.
Both AFL and CIO leaders told Fed
Grated Press a few hours after the
supreme court passed the buck back
to Florida that they would bring the
issue of the amendment prohibiting
closed shop contracts in the state di-
rectly to the voters in the May Demo
cratic primaries.
Candidates, they said, would be
judged by their stand on repeating
the amendment originally sponsored
by Sen. w. Lee (Pappy) O'Daniels
Christian Americans acting through
Atty. Gen. j. Tom Watson of this
state.
Still to be seen, however, is wheth-
er first test of the amendment will
come from labor, management or the
state. For the past few months Wat
son has been showing distinct signs
of wanting to drop the hot potato
which is choking his political career
On the same day of the high court
ruling Watson dropped suits against
eight Tampa cigar manufacturers to
void closed shop contracts with the
Cigar Makers Init. Union (AFL).
Watson was also expected to move
for dismissal of a suit against the
Tampa Shipbuilding Co., which has
closed shop contract with the Init.
Assn. of Machinists (unaffiliated).
County Circuit Judge Harry N.
Sander dismissed without prejudice"
the cases against the cigar manufac-
turers after Watson's petition, pre-
sented by the attorney for the COM
panies, pointed out that war "hostili-
ties have now ceased and industrial
conditions here have radically
changed"
Significantly, Watson was then in
Little Rock, Ark, where state authori-
ties have failed to enforce an almost
identical amendment put over by the

Europe's millions Of homeless chill
dren are one of its most desperate
problems. Poland estimates that more
than 100000 of its youngsters are
orphans and half-orphans; Yugoslavia
also sets its figures at 100000; Greece
between $4,000 and 6O,C0O; tiny Al
bania 1000, while Czechosloyakia has
found more than $4,000 in the raw
aged "Black Belt" of Eastern Slovakia
alone. In many cases their parents
died that these children might live
died of starvation while the children
ate, or were killed protecting them
with their own bodies from shellfire
Others were orphaned by mass exc
cutions of adults.
Some of these homeless children are
in child care institutions operated by
the government, by religious group
or by one of the many private well
fare agencies working in Europe.
Most of these institutions were al
most depleted in resources at the end
of the war, and to them the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Ad-
ministration is getting basic supplies
of food, clothing, shoes, beds, blankets
and cooking utensils.

found by welfare worker sleeping
on the floor, in rags, without heat, all
the food that they could scrounge
cooked in the one single large pot.
Many orphaned children throughout
Europe, however, are still running
wild, fed by one family here and an
other somewhere else. Children taken
temporarily into family are kept
as long as there is food, and then,
when there isn't, often turned out
again to shift for themselves.
In every country the governments
are making Herculean efforts to take
care of homeless and hungry children.

In Warsaw, a 17-year-old orphan
girl, Wladyslawa Gao, who was an in
mate of the famous death camp at
Belsen, has become known as "The
Little Mother from Belsen" because
of the gentle, patient, untiring care
she is giving to the younger children
of the orphanage.

Jesuit priests more than 100 years

says frankly: "This home only exists
from the gifts of UNRRA."

Green Fingers
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Happy indeed are those fortunatt

they can watch and tend growing
things And doubly fortunate are those
with "green fingers" who have {
kinship with the elements of nature

Give her a plot of ground no bigger
than a pocket handkerchief and she
started a garden. 1t was haphaz-
ard sort of affair, for flowers bord-
cred the vegetables and wherever
there was spare inch of earth, she
started something growing. She was
spendthrift of time and hospitality
but miser when it came to buying
anything she could grow. Her garden
was also her joy and her comfort for
she used to say if you had a quick
temper and an impatient disposition,
there was no cure like a garden-you
could watch all of life in it and you
learned to wait patiently for the fruit
of your handiwork.
This year we are again urged to go
back to the land, to plant and tend
and harvest from our own soil the
fruit of the earth, not only that we
may all be well fed, but that our
neighbors overseas may have food.
We must tend our gardens careful
ly this year But in our gardens, both
of the soil and Of life, we must take
care to plant the right seeds. We
must watch over them, watering with
care, not washing out the young
plants with floods Of emotion nor
letting them damp out under the dank
chill of indifference. We must weed
out the false growths, the tares that
choke, the hateful smothering things
that suck the nourishment from the
growing foods.
In our gardens let us study the i'm
mutable laws of nature fulfilling the
destiny of life itself. Let us weed
out our unreasoning hatreds and pre-
JUDGES and throw them on the COM
post heap or burn them up. Let US
grow only those plants which nourish
or give beauty-and let US border our
gardens with the bright pinks of
friendliness, the fragrant mignonette
of understanding, the purple pansies
of thoughtfulness.
And let us remember that garden
blooms not for one alone, but for all.
AS Henry Van Dyke said, let US make
a garden for our kind feelings with
the gate ever open to those who pass
by.

covered by contracts since Cnele dft
many union members in unorganlzec
plants and many organized federal
state and city employees.
About 70 percent of the production
workers in manufacturing industries
were employed under union agree
ments in 1915 as compared with about
one-third of the workers employed IN
non-manufacturing industries. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics has been
publishing annual reports on the ex-
tent of collective bargaining since
1871 and made a preliminary study
in 1888. In 1941 it was estimated
that slightly less than one-third Of
the workers eligible for union agree
ment coverage were working under
agreements as compared with about
one-half of the workers in 1945.
Big Gains in Some Industries
During the period since 1888, there
have been marked changes in a num-
ber of industries in the proportion Of
workers covered by collective agree
ments. For example, in 1888 the air
craft industry was almost entirely
without union agreements whereas in
1945 almost the entire industry was
covered by written agreements. The
same holds true of metal mining and
the manufacturing of clocks and
watches.
Large gains have also been record
ed in meat packing from a compara-
lively small number of workers under
written agreements in 1888 to nearly
a 100 percent coyerage in 1945. Ship
building, with approximately one-hait
of the workers employed under writ
ten agreements in 1888, is now also
almost 100 percent covered by union
agreements Substantial gains were
made also in cement, aluminium, rub
Der and steel.
On the other hand, relatively little
progress has been made in agricul-
ture, beauty shops, retail and whole
sale trade, and dairy products.
Maintenance" Clauses Jump
Among the various types Of union
recognition (closed shop, union shop,
etc the most significant change since
1941 has occurred in the number of
workers covered by "maintenance of

I'm last minute effort to check the
strike, the operators offered to grant
increases within the government
wage-price policy that would be, they
said, "fully and completely compen-
sated by corresponding price in
creases."
This proposal was quickly rejected
by the UNIV, which described the tao
tic in its official Journal as one of
trying "to dump the whole negotia-
ton into the lap of government
agency, hoping by so doing to keep
the mines running so that they can
continue the present profit margins
for an indefinite period, or rig a
phony retroactive scheme at the ex-
pense of the coal miners"
Steel industry spokesman at Pitts
burgh, Pa, said cutbacks would reach
SOC of normal within two days and
they predicted a complete shutdown if
the strike should continue over II
days, and a resultant layoff of some
00,000 steel workers in week.
Should the strike remain unsettled
long, the railroads carrying most of
the tonnage, particularly the Penn
sylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio,
were expected to lay off several
thousand employees.
