Philadelphia QLNS). = The Up

North America, in chartering Sail
makers and Canvas Local l of New
York City, has inherited the traditions
of one of the oldest organized trade
unions in the United States.
Long before the American flag
reached the Rio Grande and the Pa
cific coast, the Society of Journeymen
Sailmakers of the port of New York
raised the banner of trade unionism
and industrial democracy in 1888.
The oldest existant records of the
union, dated August IL, 1862, report
that the sailmakers assessed them
selves 81 a month to establish a serv-
ice relief fund to be used to aid fami-
lies of journeymen sailmakers who
had volunteered or been drafted into
military service under the leadership
of "Honest Abe Lincoln.

Comment On World Events

nue., New York City,
international morality and Justice
are fundamental to world peace,
George Meany, secretary-treasurer of
the American Federation of Labor
points out in the following excerpt
from a speech which he delivered in
Harrisburg, Pa:
1--WE of the AFL firmly believe
that all peoples without exception,
whatever their color and whatever the
part of the earth in which their homes
may happen to be located, are entitled
to the opportunity to develop, to gov
ern themselves and to strive for bet
ter economic conditions. Further peace
depends upon fair treatment during
the years ahead for all peoples who
up to now have been ruled and ex-
plotted by other nations.
"The philosophy that might makes
right never has, in the past, brought
us permanent peace. History tells that
power politics cannot bring peace.
Our own capacity to remember, even
for a short time back, tells us that
peace cannot be purchased by appease-
ment. The time has come for a real
effort to achieve permanent world
peace on the basis-yes, the only pos
sble basis, of international morality
and justice. The entire world looks
to the United States for moral lead
ership in this effort. Our representa-
tives in Washington must accept this
| challenge"

Florida Closed
Shop Ban.
Wins First Test

Washington-(FP). - The United
States Supreme Court decided Mar.
25 to wait and see if Florida's anti
closed shop law is SO enforced as to
wreck organized labor.
Adopted in 1914 as a constitutional
amendment, the law prohibits agree
ments that would deny the right to
work to persons because of their
membership or non-membership in
any labor union or labor organiza-
ton"
In a majority opinion, Justice Will
liam o. Douglas said that "the threat
to enforce the Florida law is real and
imminent" and that the threat of ir-
reparable injury is real and not fan
ciful, immediate not remote"
Despite this, however, the majority
agreed that in the absence of an
authoritative opinion from the Florida
courts interpreting the new amend
ment, anything the Supreme Court
would write "might therefore turn
out to be an academic and needless
dissertation"
The case was brought to the Su-
preme Court on appeal by the AFL,
the Metal Trades Dept. and the Flori-
da State Federation of Labor claim
ing that it violated the U. S. Consti-
tuition, the Wagner labor relations act
and the Norris LaGuardia anti-injunc
tion act.
Florida Atty. Gen. Tom Watson is
named appellee and the AFL claims
he threatens to enforce the law and
prosecute criminally all violators.
This, it alleges, is stopping the sign
ing of closed shop agreements.
Justice Frank Murphy, dissenting
in part, argued that since the threat
to the entire system Of collective bar
gaining is admitted by the majority,
''it should not be and is not difficult
to discover the federal constitutional
issues that are involved III that
threat"
Referring to the majority decision
to remand the case to the u. 5. Dis
trict Court of Florida "to retain the
case until the Florida courts interpret
the provision in the Florida constitu-
ton" Murphy said this disposition
"effofds little if any protection to the
appellants (AFL) SO far as the issues
now in dispute are concerned. They
are left unprotected against the very
threat which this court states is real
and imminent. And should the Flori-
da courts ultimately decide these is
sues adversely (to the AFL conten-
tions) they will have no effective re-
course in the District Court, which
has already expressed itself fully and
adversely relative to those conten-
tions."

vide increases ranging from to sc
percent to the 75,000 workers, was
handed down by Harry Uviller, i'm
partial chairman of the dress indus
try, ending a dispute that began last
November
Mr.. Uviller said the increase would
average about $4 a week for each
worker, or slightly under IL cents an
hour for the basic 35-hour week. Be
fore the increase, he reported, the
average weekly wage was $45.
julius Hickman, manager of the
Dress Joint Board, said the members
of the union were mot satisfied" with
the outcome of the arbitration, but
they were proud that "a wage dis
pute of this magnitude has been dis
posed of through the orderly processes
of collective bargaining" He praised
the effort of the impartial chairman
to take all factors into account in
rendering his decision.

that organized labor is an important

the navy and should be recognized as
such.
After relating the great services
rendered to the war effort by the
navy's Seabees, 80 percent of whom
were recruited from the ranks Of or
ganized labor Mr. Green added:
"Well, the blood brothers and the
union brothers Of the Seabees are em-
ployed today in the navy yards and
IN the armament plants of the nation.
They are deeply concerned about
Americas postwar navy. They want
it equipped to defend America against
enemy attack, by atomic bomb or
otherwise. They want it strong enough
to maintain and safeguard world
peace. They want new ships for the
navy and sufficient personnel to man
these ships and 10 conduct the CON
struction, repair and maintenance
They want a navy second to none.

policy of the navy gives them the
opportunity, these civilian Seabees
will do their utmost to make the
United States Navy second to nome"

The Chinese workingman needs help
from American labor f. not to feed
him during famines, not to clothe him
in the winter and not to house him
after floods. He needs help to prevent
famines, to prevent floods and to en-
able him to take care of his own
basic needs.
The industrial cooperatives in China
have enabled thousands of Chinese
men and women to help themselves;
to produce the many things their
country needs SO desperately; to set
up hundreds of worker-owned-and-
cooperatives throughout the interior;
to enable the people to obtain decent
standard of living.
In order to build this peoples move
ment the coOperatives must grow now.
1t will be too late if the slum fac
tories in the coastal cities drain the
countryside of it's human material to
use in making cheap gew-gaws to un-
dermine labor standards in the rest of
the world. The industrial cooperative
members believe that higher stand
ard of living for the Chinese people
means better standard for labor
throughout the world.
First in indutrial cooperative needs
are mechanics, technicians and ma
chimes to help them bridge the gap
between hand industry and machine
production. Some machines 9are al
ready on their way, sent by Indusco,
the American Committee in Aid of
Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. Now
the cooperative members appeal to
labor to help them get the machines
going with American know-how.
The industrial cooperatives need
technicians in textiles paper, leather,
machinery to help in the production
of these vital goods.
The industrial cooperatives need me-
chanics to set up, teach the running
and repair of American machines
on their way.

.9-Yeor Fight Won
BY UphoIsferers

Cincinnati, O.-ILNS).-A 9-year
struggle for genuine industrial demo
cracy at the Cincinnati Coffin Co.,
ended with victory for the workers
when they junked company union,
disowned the fake outfits leaders and
voted for the Upholsterers' lnterna-
tional Union of n. A. by more than 3
to 1.
The official NLRB tally was: Local
156, 2l0; company union, 81; no union,
5.
The successful campaign by the
workers to free themselves from the
hampering grip of the company union
Roulston and Regional Representative
was assisted by Organizer Robert
Ernest Bernhardt, Business Agent of
Local 156, UIU.
Prior to the election, the Cincin-
natl workers had voted the company
union out Of existence and with the
exception of the fake outfits leaders,
joined the UlU. Proving their sub
servient nature, the company union
leaders disregarded the mandate of
their constituents and threatened 20
tie up the NLRB with lawsuits and
injunctions unless the "union" was
put on the ballot.
Confident of their majority and
armed with the strength all genuinely
organized workers enjoy, the workers
agreed to give the company union a
place on the ballot and then trounced
it into oblivion. Negotiations are being
opened for standard UlU contract
and increased wages.
