British Get
Exfru Meat

LONDON (LPA)-Importance
of coal to Britain's economy was
recognized recently when the
British Government announced
that miners working at the coal
face would receive an extra ra-
ton of meat. This is the first
special industrial ration granted
to England since the beginning
of World War II.
The British Trades Union
Congress has hitherto opposed
special rations. Its position is a
consequence of the disputes and
hard feelings caused by special
rations during World War l. The
TUG General Council announced
that it would not oppose the in
tention of the Minister of Food
to increase the meat ration of
underground workers but that
the Council was not prepared to
agree to the exclusion of claims
for similar improvements on be-
half of workers in other indus
tries, in respect to the consider
alton of work, national well-be-
ing and production were similar.
Similar claims by foundry
workers, farm workers, and
longshoremen are already in the
offing, and more are likely to
follow. Food supply is still so
short that it is doubtful whether
the Government can possibly
create more special rations.

We are wondering if the bids car
ried any stipulations that these

Those boxing notices posted
all over the shop stand for the
best and cleanest boxing you
will find in town. And it really
is a reasonable evenings enter

one couple and children under

on sale at the Committee Office.

1t seems nice in Depts. E and

The
.Acklinite
By Martin BachH

1t seems that the company is
resorting to their old bag of
tricks again in having a short
age of work. This trick is so
old it has grown whiskers. 1t
seems that every time the Union
gives notice to the company that
a little more iron is needed to
fatten up the pay envelope, the
company closes up its safe and
has a business recession until
the wage problem is settled.
Since the cafeteria has issued
the new tin cups, the people in
the shop have suddenly become
sanitation conscious. More trips
are being made to the wash
stand to clean the utensils of
doubtful origin than ever before.
1t is now time to get together
and plan to rate out some of the
belly robbing" politicians, who
have been using the food short
age as a platform stand in their
strike against the American
people. Remember them on
November 5.
We wonder if julius Kosak' S
dignity was hurt more than his

Editors Note, WHY'S See
ing Eye was inadvertently left
out of last weeks JOURNAL.
We apologize and will try to
prevent a recurrance of the
oversight.
Where do we go from here
with no meat, or very little and
that at Skyrocketing prices?
They can talk about controls
and decontrols, but the workers
think they are entitled to higher
wages with which to meet the
terrific rise in the cost of living.
The profiteers and their po-
1itical stooges cry to the high
heavens every time a request is
made by the workers for higher
wages. They cry initiation and
then initiate the prices of the
the things the workers must
have out Of reach of the average
family.
We believe the big shots and
political McCarthys should have
a real case of jitters, because if
the people vote right in Novem-
ber, and there is every reason to
believe they will, old H o m r
Ramey will be back practicing
law.
Claud Hess keeps his svelt
figure by reducing exercises he
says are guaranteed to get re-
suits. He is cutting corn.
Wonder if Snowberg, the mas
ter mechanic thinks he is king.
He isn't getting any smarter
with age. Proof for this is the
fact that after humping his head
against a contract wall over a
long experience, he still bumps
his head against the contract
wall. Poor fellow. We hope he
soon gets on the beam because
someone is always casting about
trying to better themselves.
Louis and Dorothy Macy have
returned to work following a
three weeks honeymoon trip.
Congratulations are in order. We
hope that your life together will
be long, happy and-ahem.

Phone Unions
Rop AFL Policy

WASHINGTON Oct. Is (LPA)
-AFL President William Green
was strongly denounced for his
demand for abandonment of
price controls last week by the
combined leadership of the in
dependent National Federation
of Telephone Workers repre-
senting 10000 employees.
The attack was considered
significant because the NFTW
earlier this year conducted ex-
ploratory discussion with AFL
officials on the question of poss-
ible NFTW affiliation with the
Federation. Later, however, the
NFTW's convention voted not to
take action with either AFL or
CIO for the time being.
"The position of the AFL
leader" declared NFTW Presi-
dent Joseph A. Beirne, sis an
open bid for an uncontrolled
ride on the inflationary wagon,
a ride that can only end in a
crackup for the economy of the
nation.
Millions of people would suf.
fer if we went on an initiation
airy ride with prices and wages
trying to outstrip each other"
Beirne continued. "Our position
is that price controls should be
retained without relaxation until
such time as supply more nearly
matches demand. Only then will
it be safe to relax controls.
"The remedy is not to throw
out controls, as called for by the
AFL," he concluded, "but to
strengthen them and not give
up the program until there is no
longer a need for it,"

NFTW TO Bottle
AT&T Stock Sole

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is -
Plans of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co to sell
more than 100000 shares of
new stock to its employees was
viewed with a fishy eye last
week by the National Federation
of Telephone Workers, inde-
pendent, representing 100000
employees of AT&T.
Taking a "hands-off position" "
the NFTW's executive board ne
vertheless emphasized that stock
purchase by employees must be
on a strictly voluntary basis"
and that mo high pressure tao
tics will be tolerated"
The board advised the feder-
atoms membership that 1--WE
have reserved the right to criti-
cize details of the plan, and will
be on the watch for adminiStra-
ton of it after stockholder ap-
proval so that its administration
does not involve violations of
the Wagner Act. If such viola
ton occurs, and the plan is used
as an anti-union weapon, we
will Immediately file charges
under the act"
NFTW spokesmen said that
this is the first issue of AT&T
stock for employe purchase
since the early 1905. The COM
pany's plan assigns more than
one-fourth of 100000 new
shares, valued at S351,000,OOO,
for employe purchase. NFTW
President Joseph A. Beirne as
serted that eve neither oppose
nor approve the company's plan.
