U.N.:
Slap Franco

Even as 100000 Spaniards assem-
bled before the national palace in
Madrid to hear Generalissimo Fran
co lash foreign interference, the
United Nations political and security
committee, meeting at Lake Suc-
cess, N. Y, adopted a resolution for
the withdrawal of all members am
bassadors from Spain.
Remaining. obdurate in its conten-
tion that nc drastic action should be
taken ageinst Spain but the Spanish
people should be given every oppor-
tunity for holding free elections, the
U. S. abstained from voting on the
resolution. AS it was, the resolution
was mild enough, since the countries
agreed to leave other diplomatic
representatives in Spain to conduct
business as. usual. Effect of the
action was to snub Franco on the
direct government level.
Fiery Spaniards plastered fiery
placards against foreign interfer-
ence" in Madrid in the demonstra-
tions against world condemnation
against the Franco regime. In ad-
dressing the throngs, Franco de-
clared: The Spanish government
was matter of concern to the Span
ish people alone; Spain had dem
onstrated it's peaceful intentions by
remaining neutral through World
War II; Spain showed it's willing
ness to further prosperity by being
willing to deal commercially with
other nations.

FOREIGN MINISTER'S:
Germany Ne1t

Having cleaned up the Balkan
peace pacts, the foreign ministers
of the Big Four agreed to undertake
the thorny issue of German treaty
in Moscow next March.
The decision came as the u. S.
and Britain determined to unity their
two occupation zones to speed up the
economic recovery of western Ger
many and trim their relief burdens,
and continental Europe, once de-
pendent upon the Reich for essential
supplies, continued to lag in recon-
struction.
U. S. consent to conduct the parley
in Moscow was forthcoming only aft
er Russian Foreign Commissar Mo-
lotov promised Secretary of State
Byrnes that newsmen would be CIV
en- both freedom and facilities for
reporting the meeting. Byrnes in
sisted that newsmen had not been
afforded suitable accommodations
during the last confab in the Soviet
capital.

FREIGHT RATES:
Grant Boost

Interstate Commerce commission
was unanimous in granting rail and
water carriers an average 17.6 per
cent freight rate increase and per-
mitting railroads to maintain 10
per cent passenger fare boost.
Noting that wage costs alone
since 1871 have mounted by 81, ,382,-
100000 annually, ICC declared that
the new rates were necessary ~
for maintenance and development
of the transport system to meet ma
tional needs, and (2) to assure the
movement of a high volume of traf-
fic efficiently.
Rates on commodities other than
those especially treated were in
creased by 20 per cent under the
ICC order while tariffs on agricul-
tural products and livestock (except
fruits and vegetables) were boosted
Is per cent. Maximum increases
were, allowed on many items to
maintain the competitive balance
between different regions.

Keen Tree Fresh

An Xmas tree can be kept fresh
if you set it up in a pan Of water.
Cut off the base Of the tree at an
angle at least one inch above the
original cut and keep it standing
in water during the entire period
that the tree is in the house, adding
water to the jar or tub in which
the tree stands at intervals to keep
the water level always above the
cut. This method when used with
fresh trees reduces the flarnmabil-
ity as effectively as any fireproof-
ing chemicals. Chemicals m2y
cause the tree to turn brown or
yellow or to lose its needles. The
place you select for your tree
should be well away from stoves,
radiators and other sources of
heat. When you smoke, keep away
from the tree.

LABOR:
Packer Peace

Meat conditions continued to look
rosy for the American housewife
with the AFL and CIO packing
house unions coming to terms with
the big packers on new contracts
without resorting to costly strikes,
The AFL Amalgamated Meat Cut
ters and Butchers Workmen set the
pattern for peace in the industry by
agreeing with Swift on 7R cent
an hour wage increase. higher pay
for night work, a better vacation
plan, pay for eight holidays and re-
duction of geographical wage differ
entails. Including all benefits, the
total hourly increase amounts to IL
cents.
Not to be outdone, the CIO United
Packinghouse Workers of America
then signed with Cudahy for an
average wage increase of Is cents,
extra night pay, sick leave plan,
compensation for eight holidays and
elimination Of geographical wage
differentials. At the same time, the
CIO union also reached agreement
with the Tobin Packing company of
Fort Dodge, Iowa, on a new con-
tract providing for guaranteed en-
ployment of 50 weeks.
Sue for Back Pay
AS a result of a Supreme court
decision of last June 10 decreeing
that employees of the Mount Glenn
ems Potters company were entitled
to compensation under the fair la
Dor standards act of 1888 for walk
ing to their jobs on plant property,
American industry faced the pros
pect of being forced to shell out
hundreds of millions of dollars of
back pay.
Wasting no time in taking advan-
tage of the court ruling, the CIO
United Steelworkers and CIO Auto
Workers filed suits in the Cleve-
land, Ohio, federal court for back
pay for 10000 union members. The
Steelworkers asked 56 million dol
lars for 148,000 employees of Re-
public Steel company and 38 mil
lion dollars for 10000 workers Of
American Steel and Wire. The Auto
Workers seek 1914 million dollars
for 1000 employees of Ohio Crank
shaft company.
At least one employer, faced with
the prospect of being forced to pay
help for time spent in reaching their
jobs in the plant, settled with the
union. Dow Chemical company Of
Midland, Mich, agreed to pay 1900
employees Of John L. Lewis UMW's

ROCKET PLANE:
Beautiful!

Stepping out of the Bell XS-1 after
taking the rocket plane up to $4,000
feet and running it at $50 miles per
hour, test pilot Chalmers Goodlin,
%, exclaimed gleefully:
''The plane, the engine - in fact,
everything about the flight was
beautiful. 1t was all very quiet, with
absolutely no noise at all in the
cockpit, no sensation of the roar of
an engine"
Fueled with ethyl alcohol mixed
with oxygen, the XS-1 is designed
for a speed of 1,700 m.p.h., but
Goodlin held it down to $50 m.p.h.
in the preliminary test. Built for
speedy, high altitude flying, the
plane measures only 81 feet in
length and has a wing span of %
feet.
Army acceptance of the craft Is
conditioned upon its ability to trav-
ell at 80 per cent of the speed Of
sound, which ranges from $50
m.p.h. to 1853 m.p.h., depending
upon temperature and altitude. In
hitting it up at $50 m.p.h., Good
lin achieved speed of rs per cent.
NEAR EAST:
Bluff Reds
Russia drew a pass in the diplo-
matte poker game in the Near
East as Iran, Greece and Turkey,
backed by the Anglo-American
powers, rebuffed leftist jockeyings
for advantage in Iran and Greece.
In bold maneuver to test the ex-
tent of Russian determination to
dominate oil-rich northern Iran,
government forces marched into
Azerbaijan province ostensibly to
guarantee free parliamentary cleo
tions. At first, Communist leaders
threatened civil war if the govern
ment troops continued their march,
but suddenly backtracked when the
Nationalists called their bluff
Guerrillas seeking to establish
themselves in northeastern Greece
also were left holding the bag when
Greek regulars routed 1000 leftists
at Corymbos and the remnants were
wiped out by Turkish troops when
they fled across the nearby border.
Communist dominated Bulgaria
was implicated in the scuffie, Greek
government sources claiming that
the guerrillas were provisioned by
Bulgars and some of the wounded
carried back into that country.
MINERS:
AS John L. Lewis maneuvered for
shorter hours and higher pay for
his United Mine Workers an indus
try spokesman asserted that the
miner draws more money than auto.
steel and oil workmen.
Declaring that conditions in the
mines have changed in recent
years, Wilfred Sykes, president of
Inland Steel company, averred that
while miners were paid for a
54-hour week they actually dug coal
only IS to AZ hours, being compen-
stated for lunch time and travel pay.

Must Consider Consumer
In Any Negotiations

One Of the most searching sur
veys of the whole question of col
lective bargaining which undoubted-
ly has impressed our more studious
legislators is report, made two
years ago by special committee
of the goth Century fund. This re-
port stressed the need of recogni-
ton by both labor and manage
ment of this third party. the con-
sumer." In that connection the COM
mittee recommended strongly "the
use of economists, engineers, i'm
partial fact-fnding techniques.
They also suggested that manage
ments and unions together explore
the possibilities of market-wide col
lective bargaining"
This is a subject of which you
will hear more before long, I
imagine.
The goth Century fund study also
sounded warning which might
well have shown a foreknowledge of
some of the big strikes which fol-
lowed, including the coal strike. It
concluded with the admonition:
"Unless spokesmen for Big Own
ership, Big Unionism and Big Gov
ernment acquire a sharper aware
ness Of their separate and joint
obligations to society all three will
become like the dinosaurs which
grew too big and stupid to survive.
The representatives Of each, sitting
around the collective bargaining ia.
BILE, must become-more conscious
ly than ever before - trustees Of
other peoples money, skills and
aspirations. It is the committees
earnest belief that this change in
moral and psychological climate Of
collective bargaining is vital, nee.
essary and long overdue"
That admonition, which went un-
needed, was responsible in part for
the temper Of the people last
November. No labor legislation Of
fered by the present congress will
stand long if it includes the con-
sumner out"
And if the consumer is protect
ed both management and labor are
safe.

expected to initiate labor legisla-
ton, are considered too wise polit-
ically to overstep the bounds Of
what really amounts to common
sense on this question. Neither Of
them would be likely to do anything
they could avoid to prevent the
workers or anyone else from voting
Republican.
Another thing which the opti-
mistic middle-of-the-roaders feel
sure will happen is that there will
be a careful study by congress Of
any measure which is proposed
unless, of course, some crisis de-
velops which demands speed. In
emergencies emotions run high and
it is necessary to shift the ballast
so rapidly merely to avoid capsiz-
ing, that Legislators may swamp the
boat trying to reach an even keel.
Labor suffers most in an unstable
economy. Therefore, it must have
a multiple objective" as Thur
man Arnold and Walter Hamilton,
contributing their Thoughts on La
Dor Day" to the New Republic, last
September, pointed out in these
words:
'It must work for a stable econ
omy with permanent high prosper
ity; it must hold and advance
wage rates for the sake of that
permanent prosperity; it must stand
firm and even take the offensive
against limitation of production and
the degradation of the dollar"
Therefore, to succeed, "the labor
movement must be a consumers
movement as we'll" The con-
sumer's vested interest in labor
legislation will not be overlooked by
thoughtful members of congress. 1t
was very plain that the will of the
voter in the last election was ex-
pressed in the voice of the con-
sumer.
