TELEPHONE STRIKERS
WERE NOT DEBATED

Recently, a friend Of mine remind
ed me of the time, few years
ago, when he and / first talked
about the chance of real tele-
phone workers union, and / said
that it couldn't be done. Ladies and
gentlemen of the long and short
lines, here is my apology-plus the
details.
/ had had lot Of chances to sec
how big utilities could spend your
dough and mine to beg, beguile
and persuade their workers away
from unions. And the strong arm
stuff they were willing to pull
when the sweet words failed. When
this friend Of mine told me that
the workers in the local phone
company were getting union con-
scious, | smiled out loud. 1t looked
to me like company official hav-
ing the jitters because his kid en-
ployes were forgetting to say
"sir."
How wrong / was. The kids have
grown up, in understanding and
courage, even if not so much in
years. Even the hello-girls have de-
veloped in many places from the
employe-benefit stage to the mill
tant union level. Their little local
unions got together in a national
federation. And the Federation
pulled strike against the Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Cor
poration.
Think of it, you old timers. Even
before they had an international
or national union, they struck
against the biggest corporation in
the country. This is a corporation
that controls as much money as 21
American states put together. 1t is
richer than U. S. Steel and General
Motors put together, with General
Eletcric tossed in. And this young
union took them ON, and really
made them know that they had
been to war.
What did they get out of it?
From Western Electric, the manu-
featuring arm of AT&T, they got
11Hc Per hour, the same base in
crease as the other big industrial
unions got. In the other parts of
the industry, increases ranged
from 81 up. I'm told that the aver
age would run around S4 per week.
That s4 figure is the payoff. It's
double what AT&T is used to Civ
ing its workers as a wage increase,
and it's double what the other big
communications company, Western
Union, gave its employees.
The increase was won the hard
way. The negotiations carried on

Slave Labor
Would ScuffIe
Wuqe Standards

Washington (LPA)-AFL Presi-
dent William Green charged last
week that the NAM (which has
consistently fought in the past
against every decent measure to
protect the public welfare and is
still battling against such meas
ures, now has the effrontery to
claim that the anti-labor legisla-
lation which it actively sponsors
will serve the public welfare!"
Green, in nationwide radio
debate with NAM President Earl
Bunting, declared that the NAM
''is an organization dominated by
the most reactionary, labor hating
interests in America"
Citing the MANS record in op-
posing the child labor amendment,
social security, housing legislation
and price contrals, Green emphas-
lied that "The whole purpose and
intent Of this legislation, regard
less of the pious claims made for
it, is to weaken the labor move
ment and make it impossible for
unions to function.
"The effect would be to under
mine and destroy the wage stan
dards established by unions. In
turn this would force all wages
DOWN, tecause union standards set
the pace for all other workers. The
result would be a slash il mass
purchasing power and far lower
production, because people would
not have the money to buy what
they Iced. Factories would be fore
ed to shut down and millions of
workers would lose their jobs. If
THAT happens, America would find
itself buried deep in another dis
Gstrous depression. The Taft-Hart-
ley bill raves the road 70 suCn de-
preston. amor would at be tho
only one compelled to travel that
road. Merchants, professional peo-
pie and the public as a whole
would suffer"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1947-05-29

by the leaders were backed up by
the steady faithful picketing of the
rank and file. Older, experienced
unions were so impressed by the
performance of these newcomers
that they pitched in to help. But it
was the work of the telephone
unions themselves that kept the
picket lines going, in some cases
for almost seven weeks.
There was one great loss in the
strike. It's one that every union
member should be thinking about
/ today, because it was our loss, too.
The union was unable to make
AT&T negotiate on a national
basis; the strikes had to be settled
locally, on a plant-by-plan basis.
The fight that AT&T carried on
against industry wide bargaining is
the same one that we're all up
against in Congress right now. If
the bitter-enders in Congress get
away with it, none of us will be
able to sign an industry
agreement any more than the tele-
phone workers were able to get
one. By standing them off, AT&T
made its contribution to the fight
on the Hill; if AT&T had signed
an industry-wide contract with this
new union, our case on the Hill
would have been strengthened.
When the telephone workers got
licked on this issue, you and | got
set back too.
I'm interested in seeing what
happens inside the Telephone Fed
Grafton now. Will the union MEM
bers see how much they have won,
and why they couldn't win the in
dustry agreement too? Will they
come back for another crack at in
dustry-wide organization, or will
they give up on that part of the
fight? Will they see themselves as
part of the whole American labor
movement, fighting the same bat
tie we're all fighting? Or will they
go off in a corner by themselves,
licking their wounds as though they
are the only ones that have them?
For that, we'll have to wait for
the next installment of the story.
For myself, I'm sorry that ever
doubted you, fellow workers. And
| hope that you'll come back again,
and again if necessary; that's the
way we've always had to do in the
labor movement. | hope that you
do it, too.

Vets Seniority End
To Union Officials

Philadelphia (LPA) = The job
rights of veterans are secondary to
those of union officials if COM
pany has a contract giving top sem
iority to those officials, the Third
Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last
week in a precedent-making de-
cision.
The court held that the contract
takes precedence even though it
was signed while the veteran was
in the armed forces and even
though shop stewards and other
union officials have less accumu-
lated seniority than the veteran.

Let's Stop Exploiting Domestic
Domestic Workers
By ARTHUR A. EDLER
for the
Workers Education Bureau of America

ing suggestions have been made
% Wages must be comparable to
those paid in industry; (2) Hours
must be cut down to the level
worked in industry: (3) The work
must be considered skilled and dig
nified Ca condition which can be
met if the workers are trained in
scientific methods and working con-
ditions are adjusted accordingly !;
and (4) Social security protection
must be extended to household en-
ployees.
Other Factors Involved
Under these circumstances, do
mestic work would become a nor
NAL occupation attracting those
whose inclinations and skills run
in that direction. However, other
factors would necessarily have to
be considered. With proper organ
ization it would not be possible for
any moderate income family to mo-
nopolize the services of a domestic
worker. Instead, by paying an ade-
quate wage rate per hour and get
ting a specific number of hours
per week, the housewife would help
provide part of a decent living for
a domestic worker who would be
enabled to serve number of
households. Under this sort of ar
rangement, the average housewife
would pay the same for two or
three days Cor equivalent) house
work that she paid for 60-70 hours
a week before the war. But she
would then get a good job done in
a minimum of time by scientifi-
cally trained, self-respecting work
.er.
In turn, the domestic worker
would then be able to earn a de-
cent living, have regular hours, and
consequently less worry about her
personal security.
Techniques Of Organization
To accomplish these ends, any
one of several different organiza-
tion patterns might be followed. 1t
might seem advisable to link train
ing with employment. The domes-
tic worker might be trained and
then, if she chooses, line up group
of employers on her own initiative
and work out her own schedule.
She might join group of domes-
tic workers who form a coopera-
tive group that lines up the jobs
and assigns people to handle them.
A third possibility would be to
organize strong unions of domestic
workers, the unions in turn operat-
ing hiring halls through which
weekly schedules could be lined up.
Whichever of these alternatives is
followed by employees, it is no less
important that the housewife-em-
ployer be given orientation through
civic clubs, YW's, etc.( regarding
her responsibilities. Alertness
would be needed to avoid tenden-
cies toward petty racketeering
which are too apt to occur in any
employment agency type of setup.
Whatever solution is adopted
must grow out of the recognition
workers are our problems. BY end |
that the problems of domestic
ing the exploitation of this group
we shall increase our chances of |
lasting prosperity through raising |
the income level, and purchasing |
power, of an important section of |
the population.

Lynch-Lobor Bill
Just A Dicker By
Taft And Hartley

Washington (LPA)-"Lynch la
Dor" legislation was only matter
Of time and horse-trading this
week as House and Senate con-
ferees dickered behind closed doors
on just what final form the Taft
Hartley union-wrecking program
will take.
Reported disagreements and con-
cessions failed to mask the fact
that only one basic difference ex-
listed between the five Senators and
five Representative comprising the
conference. That difference rested
in the Senate groups belief that
nothing much more restrictive than
the Taft bill could hope for presi-
Dental approval, while the Hart
ley crew-almost completely un-
concerned about a Truman veto
argued that the COP machine plus
southern Democrats can ride
roughshod over any veto.
Nevertheless, there were friction
points. Hartley had trouble with
Rep. Clare Hoffman, the Michigan
toughboy, who didn't want to be
whipped into line on some Of the
minor concessions Hartley was in
clined to make to Party Leader
Taft. Hoffman, a do-or-die. all-or-
nothing man, came out of the con-
ference room with his eyes blazing
when Hartley told Taft the House
would not insist on its ban on in
dustry-wide bargaining. Another
fly in Hartley's ointment was Rep.
Graham Barden 3D., n. c. whose
sole purpose seemed to be TO out
Republican the Republicans. Bar
den complained that the conferees
were "sissyfying" the union
wrecking legislation.
Caught betwixt the demands of
his party leader and the extre-
mists in his own committee, Hart
ley-who rumor has it would dear
ly love to be secretary of labor
in Taft's cabinet-hastened to as
sure the press, "By no means will
the House conferees sell the House
down the river" He would not say
who was trying to sell them down
the river.
Acknowledging that some slight
amputations might have to be made
on the brainchild he fathered with
the NAM and the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce, Hartley argued that
"At the same time we will be able
to strengthen the language of the
Senate bill at some points"
Although no final votes were
taken at weeks end it was under
stood that the House conferees
had already conceded the elimina-
tion or drastic modification of the
following Hartley bill provisions:
1.-The ban on industry-wide bar
gaining; 2-The ban on union-coh-
trolled health and welfare funds;
3-Use of injunctions by private
employers; A company union
ism proposal; 5-the so-called la
boris bill of rights; 6-Abolition
of the NLRB and establishment of
a separate labor-managemcnt
agency; THE ban on monopoly"
strikes by which Hartley means u
strike which starting in only one
section of an industry would cover
the entire industry.
There was tentative agreement
on a clause banning NLRB certi-
fication of any union if one or
more of its officers are Communist
Party members. The House ver-
sion specified not only present
members of the Communist Party
but also union officers who never
had been members.
