AFL Teamsters Win $l0.5O Raise In Pay
 In Southern Area

ATLANTA.-Increased wages av- eraging $10.50 a week were won for some 10000 truck line workers in over the-road agreements reached by south east and southwestern freight opera tors and the Southern Conference of Teamsters (AFL).
 The newly signed pacts call for an hourly wage rate of $1.lO, an increase ranging from 10 per cent to Is per cent. The mileage rate, the truck drivers major source of income, was increased a half cent a mile, which is approximately $lO.5O more weekly for the average driver.
 The wide gap that has existed be- tween the southeast and southwest agreements is narrowed down i'll the agreement to one-tenth of cent diff ference. The contracts, which are retroactive to Nov 16, 1946, also pro- vide a 6-day paid vacation for an em- ploye who has worked 60 percent of the time of the first year and a l2- day vacation for five years or more of service.
 Praising the agreements, Dexter L. Lewis of the Southern Confer ence of Teamsters, pointed out that they had established a record in harmonious. relations with the em- ployers. Not a single hour had been lost because of strikes in the last five years, he said.

Veteran Case

A returned veteran who had for merly been a general manager, claimed his job under the CT bill. Employer refused to reinstate him claiming that the veterans successor had done an outstanding job and doubled the busi- ness, SO that the job now paid twice what it paid when the veteran left for the service. A district court re- gently ruled that not only was the veteran entitled to get his job back, but also the employer had to pay him the new salary or twice what he had earned before. The court said that since the veteran had left as general manager, he was entitled to return to the same job, regardless of what his successor had done. (Parker V. Boyce.

Petrillo's Union
 To Launch Free Public Concerts
Royalties Will Bring ''Live" Music To People; "Slush
 Fund" Refuted

Remember the furor raised in 1914, when the American Fed eration of Musicians, headed by James C. Petrillo, staged show down battle with big recording companies for a royalty on all records produced by union mem bers?
 The union sought the royalty, amounting to only fraction of cent for the average record, to build Up an employment fund" for idle musicians whose jobs were being wiped out by the strides of canned music"
 Newspapers screamed that this would become "s1ush fund" for the personal use of "Czar Petrillo." LA BOR was one of the few publications at that time to report the facts. This paper pointed out the royalties would go into a trust fund, which would be used to furnish free music by live musicians-in cities all over the country.
 Free Programs Launched
 This week, 'Petrillo publicly an nounced that the fund had reached a point sufficient to launch the program
 Up to December 31, receipts amounted to $1,756,435 and this is be- ing allocated, Petrillo said, to Musi- clans locals to carry out the program.
 He notified all locals that the pro- ceeds are to be used for music in public parks, auditoriums, public schools, homes for the aged, veterans hospitals and other places where music would be conductive to promoting more employment, better public rela- tions and musical culture"
 Petrillo declared that many com munities which haven't concerts for years will now enjoy them-and at the same time joblessness among musicians will be reduced.

FamilyAgencies, Labor Groups To Hold Joint Meet
Council Of Social Agencies Committee Plans Impor-
 tant Session Feb. 25

Organized labor representatives and delegates of Community Chest family service agencies will ''sit around the table" Tuesday evening, 7:3O P.M., February 18th to talk out agency practices at the regular meeting of the Labor Participation meeting of the Council of Social Agencies.
 The meeting, which will be held at Council offices at 397 Temple Street, will be given over entirely to a discussion of the operations of the Red Feather family agencies, how they work, what their functions and policies are, whom they serve, and how they differ from the public wei fare agencies.
 s'THE PLAIN FACTS"
 According to Max Livingston who will chair the meeting, the Labor Par ticipation Committee has been point ing to this meeting for long time. Organized labor has expressed a growing interest in the way their fam ely agencies operate and should, there fore, be given all the plain facts" he declared.
 Presentation of their agency's practices will be given by Dorothy L. Baker, executive director of the Family Service; Rev. William J. Daly, Catholic Social Service Bu- reau director; and IsidOr E. Offen- bach, executive of the Jewish Fam lily Service.
 The committee, which IS regarded as top-notch Council medium for placing social welfare issues under the spotlight, has had the active sup port of A.F.L. members since its be- ginning.
 VITAL ISSUES
 Such topics as public housing, O.P.A., operation of the Visiting Nurse Association and the Red Cross have been put before the committee which includes A.F.L. and C.LO. members, social agency representa- lives, and interested community par ticipants.
 Strong support to the committee has been given by the A.F.L. with representation including Vincent J. McGovern, president, William P. En- right, Harry E. Benson, Nathan Sherman, Saul Kreas, Mrs. Rose Brunswick, Joseph Egan, Frank Spa dola, Stanley Greising, and John A. Johnson.
 It was emphasized that this was ar open meeting, with all interested la Dor people invited to attend.

Higher Output
 And Employment Seen For 1850
Labor F Force Of 62.5 Million, Seven Million More
 Than In 194O

An increase of 90 percent. above 1889 production levels is possible in 1850, resting on a labor force of CPS million-7 million more than in 194O- and further growth in productivity re- sulting from continuing increase in the development and application of tech 'nical knowledge
 This estimate is based upon an ex- tensive and detailed study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of problems of postwar reconversion employment summarized i'll a series of articles en- titled Full Employment Patterns 1950."
 NOT UNCONDITIONAL
 The BIS estimates, the articles warn, are not unconditional forecasts for 1850. The results are based upon a series of specific assumptions, which although reasonable, cannot be re- garded as certain. For example, a re- duction in the current 40-hour sched- uled workweek would bring cor responding reduction in the levels of production required to maintain the labor tOrce.
 The 90 per cent increase in pro. ductiOn, of course, would not apply to every industry. The aircraft in. dustry, for example, can be ex. pected to expand even more while coal production reasonably would fail to reach the estimated average. In many industries, such as steel and electric power, attainment of estimated levels would require ap. preciable expansion of present capacities.
 Achievement of the implied high levels of production and output per man-hour, the analysis indicates, will make possible wage rates and invest ment returns above the 1o46 level with prices lower than those now prevailing In addition, the resulting high income levels could produce high tax revenue at moderate tax rates.
