Typos Reject
CIO-AFL Unity

MIAMI BEACH, August 20
(LPA) - Nearly 300 delegates
to the s8th convention of the
Intl. Typographical Union-AFL
voted down two proposals call
ing for unity of the AFL and
CIO and also defeated a new
union law requiring union print
ers to refuse to handle struck
work"
The first unity" proposal
called for the designations of
AFL President William Green
and CIO President Philip Muir
ray Ito make it possible for
more progressive and harmoni-
Gus successors to effect the
amalgsmation of the two organ
izations." =" The second provided
for "a unified political action
and mutual welfare program on
the part of the AFL, CIO and
railroad brotherhoods."
The struck work resolution
proposed that union printers on
strike in one city could call upon
typos in other communities to
refuse to handle advertisements
and other copy. The Committee
on Laws reported that the pro-
posal was mot advisable be-
cause of possible conflict with
state and federal laws"

.UreY Urges
Atom Control

WASHINGTON, August 26 -
dPA) - The u. S. might as
well start preparations for a
third world war unless interna.
tional control of atomic energy
is achieved, DR.. Harold c. Urey,
research director for the Army's
atom-bomb project warned last
week. There is no military de-
fense against the atom bomb ard
none Is to be expected" de-
clared Urey.
The world-renowned scientist
said that Either the u. S. must
secure an adequate international
control which will prevent ali
countries of the world from pro-
ducing atomic weapons and
which may lead on to a complete
control of war, or else we begin
preparations Immediately for the.
third world war in which atom
bombs will be used" =
There were renewed echoes
for international administration
of atomic energy by other scien-
lists including DR.. Albert Elm
stein. ice-Admiral w. H. p.
commander of Opera
tions Crossroad, after the two
Bikini tests, asserted that some
international agency should be
set up to control atomic power.

AGA Wins
N. Y. Strike

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 IPA)
The CIO American Communi-
cation Assn. won its two-week
strike against Press Wireless,
Inc. as Arthur Meyer, chairman
of the N. Y. State Mediation
Board, ruled last week that the
company had violated its union
contract by laying off 46 en-
ployes and down-grsding others
without submitting the case to
arbitration. International press
messages had been blocked by
the strike, and employees of other
cable and wireless companies
had refused to handle "hot
copy
Meyer upheld the provisions
of union contract dated March
8, 1945, which declared that
neither party may take uni
lateral action in the absence of
agreement as to layoffs before
submission to arbitration"
Yet to be decided by Meyer is
whether the company was justi-
fled in firing the As men for al
legged economy reasons and
whether the 800 strikers shall
receive pay for the period of the
walkout. AGA President Joseph
Selly said, "The' union is ma
turally gratified that the arbi-
traitor has decided in its favor"

korea Gets Union RIGHTS

Workers in South Korea last
week received the right to or
ganize and to bargain collec-
lively in an ordinance approved
by the American Military Gov
ernment. This ordinance, it was
stressed, marks the end of the
japanese policy of suppression
of labor unions and exploitation
of Korean workers."

control system might not as
we'll be scrapped.
First of all, it is inn
portant that the responsibility
for the current lifting of price
ceilings be placed where it be-
longs. The bulk of automatic ad-
iustments on consumer goods are
made by OPA as a result of the
Wherry amendment.
Every consumer today who
pays $1.20 on purchase which
he could make for only 81 last
spring, should realize that he's
paying a 20 per cent fine for his
own failure to speak up and tell
Congress last spring that prices
must be held in check. Every
consumer must realize also that
this "Wherry tax" we are al
ready paying is cumulative; as
time goes on, price increases will
be pyramided on price increases.
The present price control law
does not permit, but requires
OPA to raise prices.
FOOD UP 81 PER CENT
The bulk of the family budget
is spent on food, clothing, shell
ter, and consumer durable goods.
Since the end of real price con-
trolls, the wholesale price of food
went up 81 per cent. Even with
recontrol of meat, increases at
retail will not be much less. The
price Of clothing went up sub
stantially before OPA ended,
and the new law requires fur
ther large increases which will
soon be felt. Other consumer
goods, from the family car to
the last gadget, have been placed
on a fast escalator and are
quickly going up.
That leaves shelter. Rent con-
troll Is still in effect. 1t, too, can
not. be held long if all other
prices rise. Equally important is
the fact that further large in
creases are being given to build
ing materials. The record shows
that no new houses of permanent
construction are being built at
less than $4,000. With the new
increases, that price will be even
higher. Soon no new homes Will
be built except those that a few
rich families can afford.
The most widely argued the
ory is that price increases slim
ulate production, that increased
production will meet the de-
mand, and when the demand Is
met, prices will come down. That
would be fine If 1t were all that
happened. But when all prices
rise, fewer and fewer people can
afford to buy the products. Sup
ply exceeds the demand not only
because supply is increased, but
also because demand has shrunk.
Prices begin to come down. The
business outlook turns to losses.
Is then curtailed,
workers laid off, and we have
LABOR GAVE ANSWER
The reason labor last spring
called so insistently for contin-
ued price control for one more
year Is that it saw the need for
reaching maximum production
without increased prices. For
most products that can be done.
We have shown 1t repeatedly In
peacetime, and we have proved
K in wartime, when capacity
output was reached at higher
wages and with drastically re-
duced costs.
We have let price control go
too soon. Now we have only a
vestige of price control. To hold

Adequate Service

Adequate Service
Depends on Adequate Earnings
Your Telephone Company is doing the largest
volume of business in its history, yet tee-
phone earnings continue to go down rapidly.
The reason is perfectly clear. While your tele-
phone rate has remained the same for many
years, the costs of furnishing you service
have increased. Wages, building costs, tele-
phone materials, services, all have been going
up SO fast that
The amount Of money Paid Out to provide
service is increasing faster than the amount
Taken In. Actually telephone earnings today
are the lowest in our history!
It is basic with any business that good service
depends on reasonable earnings. To render
good telephone service and to continually
improve and expand it, reasonable telephone
earnings are essential.
The amount Of money Paid Out to provide
telephone service is increasing faster than
the amount Taken In.
= Telephone earnings are the lowest IN
history.
3 Reasonable telephone earnings are essen
taI TO good telephone service.
