A. F. l. Sounds



tions this year.
The AFL leaders emphasized that
the Federation will continue to fol-
low its non-partisan political policy
and not ally itself with any political
party.
Underscoring the national emer-
gencies brought about by the failures
of the last Congress, the Executive
Council listed these specific points:
/. That millions of American
workers have been condemned to sub
standard living conditions because a
few members of Congress blocked
passage of bill to raise minimum
wage rates from 40 to 65 cents an
hour.
2. That millions of returning war
veterans and workers have no oppor-
tunity or hope of obtaining decent
homes for themselves and their fam
lilies because Congress failed to en-
act the Wagner -Ellender-Taft bill,
providing for a long range housing
program.
3. That reactionary forces in both
parties in Congress, who conspired to
pass the destructive Case bill, which
was vetoed by President Truman, and
other anti-labor legislation, are al
ready plotting new attacks on labor's
freedoms which they hope to put
across if they are reelected to the
next Congress.
"These are emergency situations
threatening the very existence of or
ganized labor and aimed at destroy
ing the gains for American workers
which the trade union movement has
achieved by long years of struggle"
the Executive Council said.
Labor must rise to the emergency
by asserting it's political power in the
elections next November. The Ex-
ecutive Council calls for the full and
active cooperation of all affiliated or
ganizations and all union members in
securing the election of a new Con-
gress which will honestly and faith
fully carry out the will Of the Ameri-
can people"

met with a delegation of labor lead
ers from Greece, representing the
Greek Federation of Labor, who APP
pealed for help in obtaining relief for
their people. They said there is a
crying need for old shoes and cloth
ing. A Greek worker has to work 30
days to earn enough to pay for pair
of shoes in that inlation-riddled
country, the delegation reported.
They also charged that rival, Com
munist st-dominated labor movement in
Greece had executed $50 trade union
leaders in the Left Wing uprising
year ago.
AFL President William Green told
reporters that the Federation would
organize a campaign to send relief
packages to Greek workers.

ping season. Lake vessels spend only
three or four hours at time in port
to load and unload and then go out on
the lakes again.
Several factors have enabled the
shipowners to deny seamen the 40
hour week, which is considered nor
NAL throughout the rest of American
industry. Owned, as a majority of
the vessels are, by the great steel
companies, the shipping interests
have at their disposal master anti
labor strategists who always have
fought tooth and nail against the
working class.
The shipping companies owned by
the steel interests are organized into
the Lake Carriers Association, which
also sets policies for most of the
other shipowners. The principal tenet
Of the associations policy is to avoid
negotiations leading to written agree
ments and the MINUS nine years of
experience on the lakes is filled with
evidence of the employers refusal to
bargain in good faith.
To a large extent, lake seamen
work during the winter lay-up-ap-
proximately Nov. Is to March 15-in
the mills and factories of the giant
industries which own the ships. AS a
result, the companies have strong
hold on the men and they use it to
the utmost to prevent their joining
the NMU.
The Great Lakes are the richest in
land waterways in the world and lake
shipping is the most economical form
of freight carriage. In the eight to
1O-month shipping season, lake YES
sells carry more than half as much
tonnage as the entire American mer-
chant marine does in a full year.
Despite these facts, able-bodied
seamen on the lakes earn only 81 ,704
year compared to the $2,334 earned
by able-bodied seamen on the coast

Interviewed by four newsmen over

poltax senator said he belonged to
Bilbo Klan No. 40, Mississippi. AL
though he no longer attends XXX
meetings, Bilbo said he had not left

Bilbo was queried about his threats

STRIKE LEAVES CITY
SHORT OF BAKERS

Peoria, Ill. (FP)-Hesitancy of the
management of local baking concerns
to settle the recent strike of Local
145, Bakery & Confectionery Workers
International Union (AFL), has cost
them the services of many of the zoe
bakers who took part in the union ac-
ton. Even though the strike has been
settled, the bakeries find they can't
run at full production because many
of the strikers found work elsewhere
and just didn't return to Peoria.
The strike began July ! and ended
20 days later when union demands
for an 1870 raise for day workers
and 231ac for night shift workers had
been met. During the strike Peorians
had to import their bread from near
by towns.

LUMBER PRICE BOOST
BANNED BY STEELMAN

Washington (FP)-Wage increases
won by west coast lumber workers
above the postwar industry pattern
may not be used TO advance lumber
prices, Economic Stabilizer John X.
Steelman notified the National Wage
Sterilization Board.
The boosts were SC an hour over a
general 15c hourly boost granted
since VI Day in California, Wash
ington and Oregon by employer
groups negotiating with the Interna-
tional Woodworkers (CIO) and the
Lumber & Sawmill Workers (AFL).
In round numbers the AFL repre-
sents $4,000 workers in So companies,
while the CIO union represents 80,
600 workers in about 800 companies.

InfIufion Main
Threat, SfeeImun
Says In Report

Washington OPP - Imitation re-
mains the No. l threat to Americas
economy, said Reconversion Director
John r. Steelman in summing up the
record of one year since VI Day.
although we have achieved much
in the transition PERIOD" he said,
"the threat of imitation still casts a
shadow over the future. We must
not mistake temporary gains in pro-
duction, employment and income for
permanent stability. To achieve that
we must maintain some stabiizatlon
controls until our industry starts
turning out the high level of goods
demanded. Public support OF
prices and restraint in buying are no
less important now than before the
fighting stopped"
Steelman's report said the nation
had successfully avoided the della
ton which threatened when war
plants closed and millions of de-
mobilized men returned to look for
peacetime jobs" However, he report
ed 2.3 million persons actively seek
ing jobs, with 58.1 million at work.
"The proportion of unemployment
is probably the lowest for any peace
time year since we became an indus
trial nation" Steelman said. "No sig
nifcant increase in unemployment is
expected the remainder of the year. y
Reporting that almost quarter
million new businesses were started
the latter half of 1915, Steeman said
heavy industry profits declined sharp
ly since VI Day because of war con-
tract terminations, heavy reconver-
sion expenses and inability SO far to
return to full production.
ain the remainder of our economy"
he said, profits before taxes were
well maintained, profits after taxes
were at the highest levels on record
Farmers, he reported, are looking for
ward to selling their full harvest "at
good prices"
Domestic consumption of agricul-
tural goods is higher than ever be-
fore, the report said, and in addition
the u. S. has sent abroad over AIT
million bushels of wheat and other
bread grains to prevent starvation
and death in famine areas.
OF industrial relations, Steelman's
report called the past year "a period
of readjustment after three and a
half years of all-out production for
war. Wages did not lag so far behind
prices as was the case after the last
war, and the majority of wage in
creases were negotiated through the
normal process Of collective bargain
ing" He noted that during the past
60 days there had been no new strikes
in key industries "hampering ma
tional production"
Steelman said that total construc-
tion, residential and residential,
had jumped almost four times since
VI Day. Although considerable
progress has been> made in the vet
erans' emergency housing program,
he said, "the shortage of housing in
many areas is today more acute than
at any time during the war. The
peak of housing demand is not ex-
pected until this fall The goal of 81
million residential units started by
the end of 1947 is the minimum re-
quired TO alleviate an emergency"

BALDWIN ASKS RATIONING OF

Washington (FP)-Rep. Joseph G..
Baldwin (R., N. Y.) called for ration

price control would be removed in the

"the health and welfare of the COM
munity remain equally available to

The resolution would give the Pres
ident authority to institute rationing
on such commodities until they ard

Gas By-Product
Will Be Used For
City Mari Roads

Director of Public Service Rob-
ert Dopp has excellent news for
city residents who have long
complained about the condition
of mari roads, especially after
a drenching rain.
Dopp stated that a six months
test had been completed with a
by-product of manufactured city
gas that had proved very salts
factory. This by-product which
is donated to the city by the Key
West Gas Company, viii be used
on all mari roads in the city.
First use of the process will be
on United street between White
and Georgia streets.
In the past, it was the practice
to improve roads by grading to
get the holes out and rolling
with mari, but this process would
last from one to three months,
and then the road would 60 to
pieces again, but the new ar
rangement, stated Dopp, Packs
as hard as cement" and lasts
as long as an asphalt surface.
The present method of street
improvement is first to scarify
the road, which opens it up, and
then oil is poured on top. That
is sucked into the earth, then it
was rolled over, which produces
a hard-finish surface after about
two days.
Should this new method hold
up like Dopp predicts, and it
since a test of six months
has given to the process, then it 4
will not be long before the con-
dition of the present mari roads
have been placed in satisfactory
shape.
