Labor Pepper Sees Por+oI Pay Ruling
As Opening Way To Price Robbery

Fresno, Calf. QLNS)-Federal
Judge Frank A. Picard's denial of
portal-to-portal pay claims as too
trivial to warrent damages was
seen editorially by the Fresno
Labor Citizen as paving the way
for new legal attacks on suits in

!, The newspaper, representing
AFL-affiliated unions, observed
Judge Picard has in effect ruled
"a small amount of daily time has
been taken from each worker" and

Marking the second time within
the past two weeks that employees
in some of the local potteries in the
district were forcer to close down
on account of a natural gas short
age, employees of the Pioneer Pot
terry, New Castle Refractories and

the Manufacturers Light & Heat
Company ordered ban on gas for
firing kilns.
$50 employees were effected at
the Pioneer Pottery and 180 were
made idle at the New Castle Re-

ployees.
The districts larger potteries
were using standby oil equipment,

when the first of the recurring

But today, he declared, political
demagogues, spurred on by sell
fish interests, are trying to stir up
public hysteria to justify anti-labor
laws which they sponsor. This dis
graceful plan will not succeed, the
veteran leader said, because labor
is going to marshal its forces in an
unprecedented manner to meet
whatever crisis may arise. He en-
phasized that until the danger of
restrictive, controlling labor legis-
lation is passed, the Ohio State

affiliated organizations will main
tain a constant state of alert.

ocratic policy of the organization.
AS loyal unionists, members
should at all times take a keen in
terest in the affairs of their or
ganization and display it by being
concerned with the election of the
personnel of the Executive Board,
upon whose shoulders rests the
responsibilities of guiding the or
ganization.
Each member should scan the
ballot well to choose those who
are, in their judgment, best quail
fled to carry on the forward pro-
gress of the organization. After
election it is just as important to
support those chosen and cooper
ate with them in a manner of true
trade unionism that will benefit all
members of the organization.
The two members receiving the
highest number of votes for each
office at this time will contest in
the general election in May. The
successful candidates will be in
stalled at the coming convention in
July.

New York City (ILNS) - At a
dinner honoring William Green for
his long service to humanity, the
American Federation of Labor
chief called upon the United States
to admit between 100000 and 600,-
coo refugees from Europe to this
country to set the world an exam
pie in the handling of the prob
lem of displaced persons.
President Green pointed out that
this could be done without setting
aside the immigration laws by per-
mitting refugees to enter under
quotas unused during the war.
Delegates at the last AFL conven-
tion urged unanimously that the
doors be opened in this fashion,"
he said.
At the same time Green appeal
ed to the leaders of Britain's Labor
government to establish Palestine
as a homeland for those Jews who
want to go there with unrestricted
immigration. "Let the nation that
pledged its solemn word, its honor,
let that nation discharge its duty
now regardless of consequences"
he said.

Federation at the Waldorf Astoria

votion to labor and humanitarian
causes. The proceeds will help sup

A double barrelled blast at the

of organized labor at Toledo re-
Gently.
Speaking before the Northwest
ern Ohio Conference of Federal
Unions, Michael j. Lyden, acting
secretary-treasurer and legislative
agent of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor, and Phil Hannah, U. S.
Assistant Secretary of Labor, made
fiery addresses which may well be
the beginning of an offensive
against politicians who have been
sounding off at labor's expense
during the past few months.
Lyden, with righteous indigna-
tion in his voice, began his address
to the delegates by reviewing the
hardships endured by labor in its
early struggles, and recited step
by step progress of workers over
the years. This progress, he said,
resulted in gradually raising the
standard of living in America.

He made a fine report and an

ing what went on at Washington.
AS a whole, the results were most
satisfactory.
Several brothers and sisters ex-
pressed themselves upon the traf-
fic condition existing at the one

for both cars and pedestrians. Re-
quests for opening of another gate
to relieve the congestion has been
turned down several times by Of
ficials at Universal. Since the firm
has shown their willingness to
work hand in hand with employees
in reducing accidents in the plant,
why is it they are not willing to
show the same consideration where
a real hazard exists. The old say
ing, an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure, is worthy of
consideration.
