Takes Mail Poll
On Ending Strike

San Francisco-(FP).-Tn his lat

here, Pres. Harvey w. Brown of Init.
Assn. of Machinists (unaffiliated) has
mailed ballots to all Lodge 68 men,
bers asking them to vote on an en-
ployer offer of an 1870 raise previous

Lodge SO officials said their local
was ignoring the whole thing" and
reported that at least 300 of their
members had brought their ballots in
to headquarters and refused to vote.
The lodge officials said they would
not vote because they would not be
represented at counting of the ballots,
which also empower the lam execu-
tive council to sign any agreement
settling the 4-month strike.
Brown and other members of the
council refused to attend meeting
called by Lodge 68 for March 2. A
meeting called by Brown earlier in
the week to discuss settling the strike
ended in disorder when members booed
him down.

EVEN ARTISTS
HAVE TO EAT

San Francisco-(FP).- - "Our fac
tory is composed in the main of in
dividuals who are artists rather than
workmen, each with specialized craft
and individual talent and ability, with
very little in common except that they
work in the same building and are
employed by the same company"
This bit of wishful thinking is by
Vice Pres. Joseph Hickinbotham Jr.,
Of Shreve & Co., ultra-swanky jewel
erS.
What price artistry, the striking
members Of the Init. Jewelry Workers
(AFL) want to know. They think they
have little more in common than
Hickngbotham fancies.
For example, skilled silver crafts
men in the plant are getting from soc
to SIPS an hour, with women work
ers getting from 60c to Toe. Handmade
leather workers are paid 75c an hour.
But Shreve's has imported out-of-state
workers, not in the union, and paid
them 25c to SOC an hour more than
tilfII oWii iOiiS S-tiiIic cHiPioySo.
Every other jewelry store and jew
elry manufacturer in the San Fran
cisco bay area is working under a
union contract. On Nov. 10, 1915, the
NLRB certified the jewellers union as
bargaining agent for Shreve.
At the company's request, to show
the unions good faith, the local post
poned negotiations until after the
Christmas holidays-the jewelry in
dustry's busiest season. When it be-
came apparent that the company had
no intention of negotiating, the union
struck early in January and is now
picketing both factory and retail
store. 1t means to keep on picketing
until Shreve's decides to negotiate and
accept contract which will give the
artists" living wage.

AFL Chief Suys
Fight For FEPC
Will Continue

New York-FP). - Every hate
laden word directed against FEPC in
the recent Senate filibuster strength
ened the determination of its friends
to fight on, AFL Pres. William Green
declared in message to an FEPC ral-
ly here Feb. 2S.
Read to the audience of 1900 by
AFL End Vice Pres Matthew Vol,
the message said: at is a reflection
upon our democratic processes and
parliamentary procedure that a minor
ity of the members Of the Senate was
able to bring about a temporary de-
feat Of this measure. However, those
who believe i'm the principles of free
dom, liberty and democracy and who
are uncompromisingly opposed to
the practice of discrimination because
Of race, color or nationality will not
remain passive or yield to indefensible
minority opposition"
On the platform where Sen. Wayne
Morse Or, Ore.) and Sen. Dennis
Chavez Cd, n. NJ, two of the leaders
in the fight against the Senate filibus-
ter. Both called for defeat at the next
election of all those who opposed
the FEPC bill, but Morse went furth-
er than Chavez by criticizing the,ma
ner in which the fight for FEPC was
conducted, as we'll as the fiibuster it
self.
Terming both farce, Morse pointed
out that although 40 senator's signed
a cloture petition, there were few
who backed his suggestion that the
Senate be kept in continuous session
so the filibuster could be broken.
Assurance that the fight was not
lost was brought by Sec Of Labor
Lewis B. Schwellenbach, who said he
was authorized to declare that Pres.
Truman was determined to have
FEPC enacted into law.
Other speakers were Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, CIO Sec.-Treas. James b.
Carey Pres. A. Philip Randolph of
Bro. of Sleeping Car Porters (AFL)
and former Mayor +. H. LaGuardia

York Council for Fair Employment
Practice Commission.

Poet With Ford
Co. Calls For
78c Wage Raise
BY CALR HAESSLER

Dearborn, Mich.-(FP).- The new
Ford Motor Co., contract won by the
United Auto Workers after many
months of peaceful bargaining was
agreed to Feb. ,26 and goes to the
membership for ratification with the
18c raise previously negotiated, the
union shop and dues checkoff and a
watered down company security clause
involving no fines for unauthorized
stoppages.
"We have rewritten large part of
the old contract and greatly improved
it." said UAW Ford Director Richard
r. Leonard. ''The new average hourly
rate is just under $l.40 an hour" The
rate is retroactive to Jan. 5.
The union and company figure that
the old average was $1.217 an hour.
An important gain by the union is
recognition of fulltime committeeman.
At the Rouge plant in Dearborn there
will be 263 fulltime committeeman who
will not be required by the company
to work at anything except grievances
and other union matters. Previously
the contract had allowed for 275 com
mitteemen on a parttime basis and
there was much friction on the amount
of time committeeman could put i'm
on union matters including adjustment
of grievances.
Certain classifications excluded
from union benefits under the old
contract were narrowed down. Design
ing engineers and certain others who
are members Of the JAW are still eX-
cluded from contract benefits, how
ever. Their inclusion, demanded by the
JAW skilled trades council, is hoped
for next time. The new contract ex-
pires May 30, l947.
The company security provision, in
stead of So and So fines to be paid on
each worker on wildcat strike by the
union as demanded by the manage
ment, provides for a 2week layoff
for the first offense, longer layoff or
discharge for the second, and straight
discharge with the label instigator for
the third participation in an unauthor-
lied stoppage during the life of the
>OhsiasNs hHN company 40 oiop PiVseNeT
ed by layoff discharge clause for
repeated proved slowdowns.
Z Completion Of the Ford contract
leaves only General Motors among
major auto employers without an un-
derstanding with the union.
Dopesters figure that GM believes
its competitors still hampered by steel
parts shortages while its own re-
serves, built up before the strike, are
regarded after a civilian production
administration check as in excess in
some classes of the 45-day supply
permitted by that federal agency.
Large amounts of materials held by
GM," said the agency, may have
been tailormade and not usable by 9TH
er companies"
The New York Times recently re-
ported that some special steel produc-
ers would require a full month after
the steel strike to get in normal pro-
duction again.

the league admits, although it points
with pride to its fight against fore

successful, will merely prohibit re-
course by these organizers to the aid

The foremen can exercise his right

by the NLRB, through unions or that
infinitely more desirable alternative,
"the management society, generally

que announces. Not surprisingly, the
league thinks that "the urge to asso-
ciate can be satisfied to the best adj
vantage of both men and management
by the foremen's club"
Just how beneficial the club can be
to management is evident from the
leagues breathless description of such
outfits as the Natl. Assn. of Foremen
and the NATL Council of Foremen's
Clubs: "No club Of the NAF has ever

ed, with complete victory, something
else is happening.
The little wars have come.
Russia is in Manchuria, violating
her pledged word. There is shooting
in India, in Indonesia and in several
other places. The oil burns in lrar
and guns blaze in Palestine.
The Great Men who win wars seem
to have poor terminal facilities.
There is a United Nations Organ
ization. It's structure is in working
order.
Already it has proven to offer a
forum where hot heads can let loose
and, by spouting, grow cool.
If we cannot have hope in the
United Nations we can have no hope,
except for more war-perhaps for an
other World War, before the ashes
of the last have cooled, before its
ashes are dimmed.
Nations, at the point of exhaustion,
even crying for food, seem to keep
their guns at the hip, ready to fire
and even firing.
The world picture is not a pretty
one. Suspicion, covetousness, fear -
these grip most of the nations, even
as they try to clear away the wreck
age.
One of the architects Of the United
Nations Organization, Stain never
theless calls for an army that shall
have no peer-and, shall we ask, for
what?
In the midst of all of this suspicion,
this scattering Of little wars, this
cropping for safety, the United Ma
tions Organization MUST work.
There must be a supreme determi-
nation that it shall work.
Those who are laden with fear must
be reassured. Those who snipe with
the spitballs of petty political intrigue
and mental smallness, must be over
ridden.
The great hope of the world must
be fulfilled.
Yes, we're going to blow up a
fleet with atomic bombs. That'll show
'em!
But fear of superior force has sell
dom prevented war; At best it can
only postpone.
Permanent prevention of war must
rest on the absence of what nations
think is the NEED for war; Orderly
settlement of disputes, by investiga
tive and judicial processes, must be
made possible.
The United Nations Organization
offers hope for that. Take away that
hope and you can see the masses
on the march-you can see them III

As we go headlong into an uncer-
tain and puzzling future, it is inter-
esting sometimes to wonder about
things and persons past.
For example, it is interesting to
wonder what has happened to the
tomb of Clemenceau, the Tiger of
France.
Do you remember how he was bur-
led? Well the was buried upright
standing on his feet-facing the sea-
In all of the terrible upheaval of
World War II, did that tomb escape
ruin? Does the old Tiger still stand
there, facing the sea? The outlook
from that point was toward the wild
and free ocean. But the danger came
from behind-from the land side.
In 1918 there were Clemenceau,
Lloyd George, Wilson and Orlando.
Clemenceau was the Tiger, in very
truth; Wilson was the great philoso-
pher and idealist. Lloyd George was
wizard of an organizer. Orlando went
along for the ride, carefully picking
the winning side-or shall we say,
carefully yielding to the bargaining of
the winning side.
Well, we have come out of war
