AS matters stand at present, the
maritime strike ended with the
complete defeat of the Wage
Sterilization board which had OPP
posed the moderate wage raises
agreed voluntarily in collective
bargaining between the AFL sea-
farers unions and the ship opera
tors. The CIO seamen's unions,
taking advantage of the AFL
smashing victory and the ruling of
DR.. John r. Steelman, national
reconversion director, in favor of
the higher-pay agreement, struck
for equal pay, with the result that
that strike too has now been
settled on terms satisfactory to
the workers.
On the trucking front, confusion
continues though many truck driv-
ers, members of the New York
locals of the Brotherhood of Team
sters, have returned to their jobs
on the basis of individual contracts

However, the strike of Local 804

New York (FP) - Immediate
federal Intervention "to prevent an
interruption in vital communica-

to Secretary of Labor Lewis b.
Schwellenbach Sept. % by Presi-
dent Joseph Selly of the American
Communications Association.
Selly's hint of a possible walkout
by the 1000 AGA members en-
ployed by Western Union in this
city made the strike picture
against the giant monopoly COM
plete. A walkout by $4,000 AFL
members employed by Western
Union in the rest of the country
is also in the offing, with officials
of the Commercial Telegraphers
Union expected to file a 30-day
strike notice in Washington mo-

broke down here, Selly informed
Schwellenbach, when the company
insisted that the union agree not
to make any new demands until
January l94S.
This was confirmed by the COM
pany itself which wired the labor
secretary that negotiations had
broken off with both the AFL and
CIO because Of their refusal to
accept a moratorium on new de-
mands.

Cunudiun Labor
RevoIfs Against
A. +. l. Policies

Windsor, Ont. (FP)-In sessions
marked by revolt against the poll
cies of William Green, U. S. AFL
head, the 61st convention of the
Canadian Trades & Labor Con-
gress here declared its indepen
dence of American leadership and
laid plans for increased political
action in shaping Canada's foreign
policy.
Delegates expressed their de-
fience of U. S. AFL policies on
the opening day of the convention
Sept. 16, when they voted to seat
delegates from the International
Association of Machinists despite
Green's recommendation that the
machinists be expelled in conform
ity with previous action of the
American AFL.
Two days later, with AFL End
Vice President Matthew Woll pres
ent as fraternal delegate, the
TIC with only a handful of dis
senting votes passed a strongly
worded resolution declaring itself
"an Independent Canadian trade
union center" The resolution
stressed that interference by the
American AFL executive council
hid in the past "oftimes prevented
the growth of membership and in
fluence of the Trade & Labor Con-
gress of Canada and has at times
threatened the very existance of
this congress as an Independent
trade union center :"
The Canadian body further re-
affirmed its independence when it
reelected President
Percy Bengough, who led the auto
nomy movement, and returned
Secretary-Treasurer Pat Sullivan
to office by a large majority.

Representatives Of 20 American
national organizations in a letter
to John G.. Winant, u. S. delegate
to the United Nations Economic
and Social Council, urged that the
council reconsider its decision that
members to the Human Rights
Commissions serve as representa-
tives of governments rather than
as independent experts.
The letter, which made a good
case for council reconsideration,
pointed out that the success of the
commissions activities will depend
on the freedom of action" of
members and the confidence they
inspire in the peoples of the
world"
"A government, which is neces-
sarily a group of individuals, is
not interested primarily in the pro-
lection of human rights" the let
ter continued. ut is interested in
the attainment of it's particular
social, political and economic
goals. Where these goals clash
with the rights of individuals, the
latter are likely to suffer unless
protected by enforceable constitu-
tional guarantee, To entrust the
protection of respect for human
rights on worldwide scale to Of
ficial representatives Of particular
governments is consequently like
ly to subordinate human rights to
the particular interests of these
governments"
A second communication was
also sent to Winant from the
group urging that, in the event the
council does not reverse its deci
cion, the United States appoint its
permanent representative to the
commission as an "uninstructed
expert in the hope such action
will encourage other governments
to do likewise. (According to the
councils decision, it is permissible
for member to give it's repre-
sentatives this status.)
The recent annual meeting of
the British National Union of
Railwaymen reviewed the history
of the Labor party since it came
into power and its achievements
during that year. j. +. Binks,
president of the union, discussing
the prospective naturalization of
the British Railways, said that
since compensation was to be
given to shareholds, the railway
men were entitled to adequate con-
sideration in case of their dis
placement.
"This congress places on record
its appreciation of the celebrates
decision to place a Labor govern
ment in power; we endorse the ex-
peditious manner i'm which the
has proceeded to inn
plement labor's plans for the
future, particularly recognizing
the difficulties confronting the
country following years of dew
asting war. We pledge our mem

dustrles, organization activities
are being extended.
At the recent Chicago conven-
tion, complete reports were sub
mitted by officers and by the gem
eral executive board. Financial
statements are submitted in de-
tail to the membership of this
union every 3 months; and that
has been true ever since the union
was organized in 1903. Further
more President Moreschi pointed
out to the convention delegates,
these reports may be examined by
any person, any time. All reports
become a part of the official pro-
ceedings, copies of which may be
secured by any interested person,
whether a member or not. 1t
should likewise be noted that the
Laborers' convention was "wide
open," representatives of the press
and radio and of the general public
being welcome at all times. There
was no closed sessions.
Joseph V. Moreschi, who has in
the past been a target for thrusts
by antilabor forces, due to unfav-
orable publicity achieved by indivi-
duals in local communities, rather
than by any action of his own,
was reelected as president of the
Laborers. Achilles Persion was re-
elected as secretary treasurer, as
were all vice presidents, who con-
stitute the genera executive
board.
The Laborers' vice presidents in
clude: Joseph Marshall, San Fran
cisco, first vice president; Herbert
Rivers, Kansas City, second vice
president; Charles f.. Clark, Pitts
burgh, third vice president; j. b.
Etchison, Columbus, Ohio, former
ly of Indiana, fourth vice presi-
dent; Patrick Waldron, New York,
fifth vice president, and Theodore
Nischwitz, Springfield, ILL.,, sixth
vice president.
Representatives who are not Of
ficers but who came in for special
commendation include Vincent +.
Morreale, general counsel, who
was referred to on the convention
floor as "the best labor lawyer
now serving the labor movement in
the United States" Also John Gar
vey, international representative,
and several others.
Representatives of the Laborers'
Union are now in Chicago to at
tend the conventions of the Metal
Trades Department, the Building
and Construction Trades Depart
ment and, finally, the convention
of the American Federation of |
Labor.
Although the Laborers' Union |
has one of the lowest rates of per
capita dues in the entire labor
only 35 cents per
month per member to the inter
national, the death benefits to
members were extended on
sound basis without increasing the
per capita dues. A practical pro-
gram Of education among members
was extended also, with many ex-
pressions heard to the effect that
the Laborers are leading the
field" in this respect, just as they
have led in securing coverage of
members in contracts and in other
activities.

Hits At Moves
For New War

WdSHluS tOH (FF)-Alarmo0 at
the free use of war talk in the
United States, which one official
called propaganda to prepare the
minds of Americans for a new
war, the executive bureau of the
World Federation of Trade Unions
unanimously adopted resolution
calling for unity of all workers to
prevent a new struggle.
The resolution expressed the
"deep concern of the workers of
the world with the growing threat
to peace" and said they noted
"with alarm that the coalition of
freedom-loving nations which was
the key to military victory has no,
been maintained with the firmness
and unity of purpose essential to
the establishment of an enduring

They have been further dis

the failure to pursue the military
defeat of the fascist powers by

fascism in all its forms and man.
ifestations, wherever they may be
found"
Continuing, it said "their uneasi-
ness is augmented by the terrible
threat that atomic energy, which
should hold the promise of in
calculable benefits to all mankind,
will be used for mankind's des-
truction.
"The workers of the world hate
war. Their deepest wish is for the
preservation Of the peach which
they sacrificed so much to gain.
"The executive bureau, in their
behalf, calls upon the governments
of the United Nations to return to
their policies of friendship and
close collaboration which alone
can guarantee a stable peace. We
call upon them to repudiate the
voices of reaction which today,
only short year after victory and
under the pressure of selfish in
tersts Of the monopolists and big
capitalists, inimical to the public
welfare, are spreading the idea of
a possible third world war.
"The executive bureau also calls
upon its 70 million members to
made known to each of their gov
ernments their determination to |
oppose the preparations for an
other war and to defend the evil |
forces of fascism and the reaction
which are menacing world peace
and which are Haunting the same

which everyone in the United
