Philly Butchers Rap Blacketeers

Camden, N. J. (LPA)-Aid to OPA in the enforcement of price ceil- ings on meat has been pledged by the Butcher Workmen's Joint Council AFL of Philadelphia, it was announc- ed this week.
 Store employees have been in- structed by the union to refuse to sell meat at illegal prices, even when so directed by their employ CTS. Leon B. Schachter, president of the council, said that the union will protect workers who are threatened with loss of employ ment for refusing to violate ceiI- ings.
 At the same time the council an- nounced that members who violate OPA regulations will be immediately dismissed from the union The coun- ci1 controls all butchers and meat handlers in Philadelphia and New Jer- sey, Schachter said, and this policy will be effective throughout that area.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

THE American public is against class legislation-the kind that gives a bankrupt workers family $3 week in grocery orders, but awards hard-up corporation ump- teenmillion dollars in tax rebates.
 Resignation of the public and in- dustry members of the Natl Wage Stabilization Board for mishandl- ing of the seamen's wage dispute was demanded last week by AFL President William Green. Green lauded the formula worked out by Stabilization Director John R. Steelman, for. settling the AFL sea- mems strike. He called it a "work- able solution, offering ''justice to the workers involved"
 NOT many years ago Norman Maxim, son of a poor miner, was clerk in boOkshOp and a member of the Shop Assistants Union. Later he became a pattern-maker and member of the union of that craft. This week he arrived in Washington to take over his duties as first ambassador from Australia.
 Maxim was pioneer in the Aus tralian Labor party was sent to Par liament at 29, and has held numer- Ous posts in Labor party govern ments. His last assignment before coming to Washington was acting minister to external affairs-that would be assistant secretary of state in his country.
 Claims of business spOkesmen that it is unprofitable to operate under price controls, sound pretty thin in the light of a financial statement just put out by the May Department Stores. For the first six months of l946, it reveals, net profit increased about 25O per cent over the same period of last year.
 More significant is the disclosure that profits increased more rapidly than sales, which showed 72 per cent boost for the same period.
 Republic Steel Corp. paid good money for a worker opinion sur- vey to discover that ''many workers feel they are working their fingers to the bone only to increase the exorbitant profits to the stockhold- ers.'
 A glance at any good labor paper would have given them the same in- formation for a nickel. And for small fee we'll give them some

AFL Auto Union Cirds For Fight In Fall Voting
JAW Political Action Com mittee To Investigate
 Candidates

A call to action of all local JAW. AFL Political Action Committees was voiced by President Lester Washburn this week. He called upon the UAW-AFL to throw its full strength to defeat Labor's ene- mics in forthcoming elections and to marshal the support of every friend, relative, and neighbOr in the campaign.
 Previous Union strategy will be in voked which provides that cities will be divided into blocks, zones, or wards and groups over these sections will constitute the residential section of the Political Action Committee. Each member of the residential sec tion committee will work with the ob- jective of having every citizen in that section pledge to vote for Labor en- dorsed candidates, be duly registered to vote, and to actually vote.
 To Investigate Candidates
 The Committee will interview and investigate candidates for public of flee and recommend action to the memberships. Names of all endorsed candidates will be listed for perusal by the members. Meanwhile, Regional Directors will coordinate the polit- ical activities of all Local Unions un- der their charge and summon city, district, regional, and state confer ences to insure maximum unity of ac- ton and purpose.
 President Washburn emphasized. 'sThe same militant organized, col lective action that has won for La Dor the wages and conditions which it now enjoys can elect any candi- date it chooses to support"

DEADLINE IS JAN. ]

DEADLINE IS JAN. l
 Under this plan, members of af- filiated building trades locals will refuse to accept truck deliveries Of building supplies unless they are delivered by a union truck driver. The executive board voted to place this agreement into effect as soon as possible, and under no cOndi- tions will the deadline be set later than Jan. l, 1947. Representing the teamsters at the meeting were John Pisano and Matty RuoppolO of New Haven Local 443; and Tim othy M. Collins, Waterbury Local GIT. Collins is also president of the Conn. Federation of Labor.
 AFL Organizer James J. Clerkin addressed the board on Enforcement of State Laws" and said the reason many negotiations in which the State Labor Department had been involved, have broken down, is because of neg ligence in the State Department of Labor"
 "A motion was passed that a joint committee of the Conn. Fed eration of Labor and the State Building Trades Council meet with the proper officers to correct this situation. The Building Trades will be represented by President Mich ael J. Barry and Secretary-Treas- urer James O'Kane; the State fed eration by President Collins and Secretary-Treasurer Joseph M. ROurke.
 After remarks by Collins, the Board voted to warn its affiliated locals to refuse to deal with "experts" and public relations companies i'll negotiat- ing contracts. Contracts should be di- rectly negotiated with employers. This, however, does not mean that the employer cannot use his "expert" as a consultant.
 HELP NORWALK LOCAL
 A $10 contribution was voted by the Board to the United Construction Workers local in Norwalk which is now picketing the Norwalk Tire & Rubber plant, where there is an file gal C.I.O. union. All local unions were urged to get behind the drive for funds.
 Charles Pietrini of the Long Shore men was granted the floor, explained his position as an organizer i'll this area. and was assured by President Barry of the support of the building trades.
 The Board unanimously adopted a resolution, previously published in full in The Union Times, calling for the abolition of the Wage Ad- justment Board. Saul Kreas, busi- ness agent of New Haven Painters, No. l86, and president of the New Haven Building Trades Council, was elected trustee of the State Council, succeeding George Joslyn.
 In addition to those mentioned above, the meeting was attended by A. Cillis, J. Grimes, J. Misenti, C. Lockwood, A. Green, H. Martin, s. Creising, E. Kunz, T. Quinn, M. Reale, T. Yoczick, H. Fargo, and J. A. Johnson.
 The meeting was one of the best held in some time, and showed how valuable strong building trades coun- Gil is to the trades.

Decision Of Wage Adjust ment Board Retroactive
 To July 25

Saul Kreas, business agent for Painters Local l86, has received off, ficial word from Washington that the Federal Wage Adjustment Board has approved a $l per day wage increase for 300 painters in the New Haven area.
 Announcement of the approval came in a telegram from Miss Adele Will son, executive secretary of the board. The new wage rate will amount to $1.62N cents per hour, an increase from the old rate of $1.50. Both the union and employers had asked for a $1.65 per hour scale. The new rate is retroactive to July 25.
 Approval by the Washington board which must pass on all wage changes in the building industries brings to a close a month-old dispute over provi- sions of a contract between painters and employers.
 On July, %, the WAB ordered a rollback of wages in the construction industry to the June 30 levels despite the fact that under terms of their con- tract, painters had received wage in- crease during the OPA "holiday."
 Refusal of the WAB to grant the raise led to a brief two-day work stoppage on August l9. Painters re- turned to their jobs after an agree. ment with the contractors to hold the disputed pay in escrow and to press a joint appeal to the WAB The retroactive provision of the new pay rate will be paid through the holdback funds.
 Still remaining for WAB decision are pay raise applications from the carpenters, hodcarriers and plumbers All three unions staged brief work stoppages last month to emphasize their side of the case.
