Members Of No. IS
/ UNION LABEL TRADES DEPT !,

The Monday night meetings of
Local Union No. SO are becoming
more and more interesting each week.
We would like to see all members in
attendance. Make it your business to
attend and bring member with you,
there is plenty of room for all.
We were very glad to welcome
Brother Okey White into the folds
of sc once again. Brother Okey has
been working in California for some
time. If he was as active a member
on the west coast as he has been in
our local, we know they are going to
miss him greatly. Our gain is their
loss.
March 25th meeting is to be a spec
ial meeting to attempt to settle ques-
ton from Homer Laughlin Plant No.

local much trouble the past six months

Another concession especially valu-
able in high production years is the
vacation clause which gives employees
with / to years seniority vacation
bonus of 296 of their gross annual
earnings, 3 to years go, and S years
and over 4h%. The union figures the
gain at $5,00O,0O0 year. The wage
increase is figured at $65,00O,O0O a
year.
In place of the unionshop demand
the UAW obtained a company check
off of union dues and general assess
ments binding for the entire life of
the contract on all employees who sign
up for it. The contract is for two years
from date of ratification but wages
are frozen for only one year.
On the controversial points of trans
fer and promotion the union won
agreement that seniority will have
preference where other factors like
merit are equal but the employe must
apply for the change to be considered

New York-(FP). = The 2-month
strike of 100000 members of United

March 13 with agreement on an 1870

Settlement came when GE for the
first time offered the 1870 accepted
as the national wage pattern in the
settlement of other major strikes. UE

General Motors electrical division Feb.
IL. A retroactive increase on the
basis of the company's original offer
will be paid for the period from
Jan. to Jan. 15 when the strike be-
gan.
An important concession won by the
union was a 90-day extension of the
contract, scheduled to expire April l..

contract April l and renegotiate it

Detroit - (FP). - Just one week
short of four months the auto indus
try's longest major strike ended March
13 when General Motors Corp, and
the United Auto Workers agreed on
a settlement that is deemed certain of
ratification by the local unions.
1t grants the 1870 already won
from Chrysler, Hudson, Briggs and
other auto employers (Ford gave 1Sc)
and it makes certain other concessions
which the UAW considers equivalent
to the evtra penny recommended by
Pres. Truman's factfinding board but
which was not formally conceded by
the stubborn corporation.
Among the concessions are retro
active raise of 1870 an hour for the
two weeks before the strike began
last Nov. 81. This will help the l76,O00

'PdrtY For
Silent Tribute Paid
Bro. Burhl McCauley

Local Union rs paid honor to their
servicemen last Thursday evening in
a manner that will not soon be for
gotten. Quickly dispensing of the
usual routine business matters, the
meeting adjourned at p. m. and the
social committee took charge of af-
fairs for the balance of the evening.
Overlooking nothing in the way OF
entertainment, as well as refreshments
for the vast crowd which was on hand,
estimated by President Ross Horner
to be around one hundred, everything
went over in fine style with many pro-
claiming it to be the best party
ever staged by the local.
Adding serious thought to the eve
ning's entertainment was a very i'm
pressive tribute to our former buddy,
Burhl McCauley, who made the su-
preme sacrifice in the Pacific theater
of operations. Standing with bowed
heads facing the honor roll bearing
one gold star, the members offered a
silent prayer to one who gave his
life for democracy.
All CPS We're called upon for re-
marks and very ably responded with
incidents which occurred during their
hitch in the service. Some of the talks
were on the humorous side, while
others dealt with the present days

antee of no discrimination by the COM
pany against strikers or by the unien
against non-strikers. This is mainly
a protection for the union since UE
picketlines were observed almost 100fo
except in the last few days of the
strike when the union agreed to let
supervisory employees through.
The stormy 16-state strike against
the huge electrical monopoly was
marked by pattern of anti-picketing
injunction and police brutality. Vio-
lence reached height in Philadelphia
when more than 1000 policemen
charged into union demonstrations
protesting injunctions against mass
picketing and clubbed and trampled
scores of workers.
Nineteen city governments and
mayors, 62 U. S. senators and con-
gress men and many veterans, min
isters, small business and community
organizations came out in support Of
the strikers. Settlement by GE was
interpreted in part by union officials

High Court Rules
Only Persuasive
Pickefing Legal

Philadelphia QLNS). - Picketine
in Pennsylvania is legal when it only
seeks "to persuade workers to join
strike and ITO urge the public not
to patronize the employers" the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court has
ruled.
Chief Justice George w. Maxey
wrote in the decision:
"When a picket line becomes a
picket fence, ''it is time for the gov
ernment to act. Collective coercion
is not a legitimate (part) of collec-
tive bargaining"
"The forceable seizure (by mass
picketing) of an employers prop
erty," the jurist wrote in amending
a previous court opinion banning
mass picketing, "is the very essence
of Communism"
The court opinion had upheld an
injunction against mass picketing at
the Pittsburgh Carnegie Illinois
Steel Co., plant during the recent
nationwide steel strike.
Justice Maxey, in 1881 pleased la
Dor by dissenting from a decision up
holding the injunction in a Nazareth
strike case. His dissent encouraged
labor to press its fight on the yellow
dog" contract and the injunction, then
chief weapons of labor-hating en-
ployers.

= Asking broadening of coverage, the
AFL spokesman told the committee
that perhaps the most obvious limi-
tation is that 20 million jobs are not
covered by the act"
From 40 to so percent of the ma
tion's workers." he continued, "are
left without the assurance of income
in their old age or protection for their
families in the event Of an early death
of the wage Garner. We believe that
all workers should have an assured
income in their old age and that in
large measure the Social Security Act
should be extended to provide such
protection. When occupations embrac-
ing large groups of workers are not
covered, the protection of all is dim
inished.
Workers move from one job to
another and are sometimes contribut-
ing toward the insurance program
through payroll deduction and some
times not Many pay taxes who will
receive no benefits because their Pc
riod of work in covered occupations
was too short. Millions of others will
have their benefit amount reduced
because they have not been steadily

and let them know we are behind the

Organized Labor gets full credit for
every dollar pledged by it's members
this year.
The labor situation in Wheeling
seems to be clearing with the recent
announcement of satisfactory agree
ment being reached at the Continental
Foundry Co. The 600 employees of
the plant have been out on strike for
Sd days. An increase in wages total
ing 1872 cents per hour has been
granted. Approximately 400 Steel
workers in this area are still out, but
with the settlement reached at the
Continental, other steel concerns
should follow suit.
A prolonged stalemate at the Wen
eel Packing Plant in South Wheeling
will no doubt cause some of our citi-
zens to have less meat The em-
ployees of the packing concern have
asked for a 16 cent per hour increase
and the company offers eight cents.
Negotiations are at stand still at
this time. The company employs 10S

Would Appreciate
News From Others
In Sanitary Trode

Camden, N. J.-There is great
desire among the members of Local
Union No. so to have news from the
rest of the sanitary trade. Several
resolutions have been given to the
Resolution Committee on that subject.
There seems to be need of stirring up
some enthusiasm in other sanitary
locals to get their news in the paper.
There has been some talk of send
ing committee to visit Local No. 45,
Trenton. No doubt this would be well
come news to many of our old friends
in 45 and we could probably get some
valuable information.
We are still hearing a lot about a
big party to welcome back the boys
from the many sections of the world
where they served during the war. We
look forward to this event to show our
gratitude for their service.
We are still working six days a
week at the prevailing wage and there
seems to be a number of reports about
a wage increase. We hope for pros
porous times in the future for the
sanitary trade as there is a great
need for additional houses. The pot
ters may not be able to live in the
high priced houses that will be built
according to plans, but they will share
in the profits from same The need for
homes is great and regardless of the
cost, the sanitary potters are sure of
plenty of work for sometime to come.

needs to the houses should
