From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
Local II, UAWCIO
President,

In the past several years, our organization
has, from time to time, adopted one program
or another in an effort to start something
which would be highly beneficial to the sons
and daughters of the members of Local No. IL.
This included children's bands, scout troops,
sons and daughters of the c. l. o. in the Labor
Day Parade and other programs. This, we be.
lieve, should be done in order to give benefits
not only in the way of economic security for
the grownups who are workers in the various
industrial plants, but to give health and edu.
catonal program to their children.
These minor programs have been, to certain
degrees successful but have never been very
far reaching. We are now in better position
financially and morally than ever before in the
history of our organization and, without a
doubt are prepared to go ahead with project
which will number itself among the best chill
drens programs within our Community
A lake site, with a large masonry building
and large cottage already constructed on it
is now being purchased and program of start.
ing out to get this camp well underway by
summer vacation is now being pushed. ANY
member who has had training and experience
in camping, swimming and other outdoor activ
ties may submit their names and references to
Local No. IL for one of the positions which
will be open when the camp actually gets
underway. 1t will be necessary to have the
services of several cooks caretaker, instructors
and nurses These applications should be ac
companied with the history of your experience
and references in the care and handling of
children and, of course the applicant must be
willing to conduct themselves along very strict
lines in the way of personal conduct.
Perhaps you may have heard the slogan
"As we live, so we grow" To me- it indicates
that this project which we are now entering
into is the very foundation upon which our
lives depend. No one generation can live long
enough to accomplish all of the good which
should be available to those who work for
living, It, therefore, behooves each and every.
one ofaus to get behind this program which is
buildngsfor the future.

Upward wage adjustments which are now
being granted by UAW-CIO contract plants IN
Region 2.B indicate to me that most Of the IN
dustries with which we have relations are will
ing to go along with our policy and that they
will meet the national wage pattern once 1t
has been set in representative mass industries.
Employers who are now giving their en-
ployes much.needed wage increases are con-
tributing to the maintenance of the consuming
power of the country for without adequate
purchasing power in the hands of the con-
sumer, neither the nation nor its Industries can
maintain a prosperous condition.
Naturally we of the Auto.Workers are
anxious that prices be held at their present
level or, when the volume of production war
rants it. cut as much as possible We have ex'
perienced and are still experiencing the bad
effects of the 1872 cents an hour increase in
which industry after raising wages elevated
prices out of all proportion to the wage in
creases.
NO REPEATS
After the initiation that we have watched
for the past months, nobody who works for
living is anxious to go through another era of
rapidly increasing prices. These past few
months have been trying ones for practically all
workers, and it is doubtful if either they or the
country could stand another period similar to
the one which we hope is about at an end
I might add that more and more plants are
agreeing to give their workers paid holidays
and that it now appears that the plants which
do not do so will be fewer than they were be-
fore the present series of negotiations began.
Not only do paid holidays help to build a
better morale for the workers in the plant, but
it seems to me that it is productive of better
industrial relations all around. This is particu-
larly true now when the workers are actually
working for lower wages than they got through
the war and losing a days work because of a
holiday actually is hardship on them
1t is my sincere hope that every industry
in this region will grant its employees the in
creases which they so urgently need and that
we can all cooperate to build and maintain
prosperous nation

A helicopter was used bv
an employer in New Bedford,
Mass, to fly in supplies over
the heads of pickets. AS an
aerial counteroffensive, the
union threw up barrage of
box kites to halt the helicopter
That reminds us of the plant
near Chicago that was struck
one spring a few years ago.
The employer trained a bunch
of ground-hogs to burrow
underneath the mass picket
lines bring in supplies and
take out the finished product.
The union stopped that by
bringing powerful searchlightS.
When the groundhogs came
up and saw their shadows
they went back underground
and slept for the next three
months.

Congress has been hearing
test mony from labor and
weekly paper editors on how
the newsprint S h ortage is
forcing them TO the wall.
Some sort of climax was
reached when a man named
David Korneman, of the Green
Publishing Co, New York
City, testified that he was
really driven to the depths by
the newsprint shortage. From
printing comic books, he was
forced to take up printing
government income tax forms.
And that wasn't all. Even
the government has a hard
time getting the paper for
me-" he said. 1T took two
months TO get it for the tax
forms"

Au9 NHSSS
I once read a colum n
written by a real smart guy
who always alibied himself
by prefacing his remarks with
the phrase, "all l know Is
what l read in the papers"
Nowadays, working people
using the same line of reason
ing will either wind up in the
BOBBY hatch or behind the
eight ball with a public censor
gag In his mouth. These con-
clusions were reached after a
careful consideration of what
is known as the public press
in our town.
It seems to me that all the
things which we have held to
be democratic and true are
constantly being Smeared with
the tag of communism by the
public press. Because of the
inferences contained in the ar
ticles which appear in the pa
per, / find myself asking some
questions:
Am / a communist because
/ believe in no discrimination
against minority groups; be-
cause believe in the Tennes-
see Valley Authority which is
reclaiming devastated farm m
lands and providing cheap
electric power; because | be-
lieve in price and rent control
to protect the consumers from
the unfair chiselers and goug.
ers; because l believe prices
should be based upon cost
plus a reasonable profit rather
than charging all the traffic
will bear?
Am l a communist because
believe that human rights
are more important than prop
erty rights and that no man
or group of men should profit
at the expense of and to the
detriment of his fellow man;
because / believe in a strong
labor movement and think
that all the points which l
have raised here should have
the backing of the law?
The trouble is that too many
are trying to make it appear
that the labor movement is
dominated by communists,
whereas it is made up mostly
of guys like me who want a
square deal with the legal
guarantee of their rights to
live in dignity and decency.
The labor movement is not
and will not be red if the en-
ployers and government will
treat II white.
Fraternally yours,

Considering the flood of antilabor laws In.
troduced in Congress, there seems to be more
than mite of logic in the recent strike of
union printers in Copenhagen. No law can be
enacted in Denmark until it has been published
In the official law publication. But the law
publications printers were on strike. Result:
no publication; no laws.

The confusion in the House
Labor Committee, which is
busy preparing union-wreck-
ing laws, was clarified to a
fare.thee-well last week by
its chairman, Rep. Fred Hart
ley (R., N. J). In a speech
to Congress (and we quote
word for-word from the Con-
gressional Record of March
21) Hartley declared: Our
first aim has been and will
continue to be that of freeing
the workmen of the United
States from the shackles that
have been fastened on them
in the name of labor organi-
xation."

2lO ATTEND DINNER,
EDUCATION PROGRAM

Masons and their ladies and East
ern Stars and their escorts to the
number of 21O attended a man-pre-
pared and served dinner Thursday
evening at the Masonic temple. The
event was arranged by a committee
from Corinthian lodge who strove
to at least partially repay the ladies
for the many times they had served
dinners for the men. Members OF
the committee, assisted by a score
of others drawn from the lodge,
were Barney Hageman, Carl Perry
and Charles Staiger.
The POSTMASTER at the after din
ner program was Campbell Calvert.
Mrs. Ted C. Bundy played two pi-
ano-accordion selections, followed by
the introduction of Philip Noel, wor-
shipful master of Corinthian lodge;
Mrs. Frank Hartley, worthy matron
of Zidonian chapter, o. E S.; mem
bers of the entertainment committee
and B. L. Price, senior member of
the lodge. Price responded by laud-
ing the committee and making a
number of humorous remarks. Fred
w. Graft was introduced as the
principal speaker.
CRAFTS subject was Education
which conformed to an order from
the Masonic grand lodge that pro-
grams on the topic be conducted in
March by subordinated lodge.
He carefully analysed the exist
ing emergency in education that
arises from the lack of sufficient
teachers. The condition results from
a train of preceding events whose
significance was not recognized at
the time. during the war many
teachers left the profession, perhaps
to contribute more directly to the
war effort or to earn the higher
wages offered in other fields of
employment. Relatively few have
returned to their former profession,
and the number of young people
now taking training to become teach
ers is small-less than the number
necessary for natural requirements.
The country at large and Montana
in particular is facing a grave stu
alton in education, Graft said. The
remedy recommended was increases

port also, in the program for pro-
viding education for the youth of
America and equalizing the cost.
He cited examples in Montana, one
district with a 94-mill levy and 9TH
ers with none He voiced regret
that the recent session of the Mon
tana legislature had not enacted a
to meet the present stu
alton.
AS he concluded he said that
though he had painted a dark pic
ture he was confident the teaching
of children will continue to appeal
to many adults, as in the past, and
that American citizens will fully rec
ognize the necessity of preserving
their standard of life and the Great
ing of peace through education.

in teachers salaries, bringing them
to an attractive level and in ratio
with present-day costs of living, as
well as commensurate with rewards
received in other fields requiring
comparable ability and preparation.
In the matter of teachers salaries,
Montana is not near the top of the
list, the speaker said. Instead, the
state is only slightly higher than
Laurel outlook., 1947-03-19

the deep south where low wages
and salaries have long been very
low.
If the situation is to be corrected
it will be through increased and
sustained taxes for school purposes
A number of methods were men
toned, but Graft referred several
times to state support of local
schools and at times to federal sup

of great spirit and woman who
has learned all the showmanship
she needs to KEEP an audience in the
mood in which she wants it to be.
Her voice, as you probably don't
need to be told If you own radio
or phonograph, is musical instru-
ment full of expression, which can
20 from whisper through crescendo
and back again without betraying
a single note.
One of the most welcome features
of Miss Pickens' singing, Of course,
is the robustness of her voice. She
accepts the microphone as sort
of prop, which less fortunate singers
may need, but which she herself
employs only as part-time aid.
Without electrical ampliflcation she
can fill the Embassy Room with the
whisper as we'll as the peak of the
crescendo. That's real good singing.
That's not bad piano playing Miss
Pickens INDUCES in, either, when she
gets into the Rachmaninof "Varia-
tions or a Theme by Paganini,

hear anything like that in supper
