Kipinger Sees
Shukedown In ~

Washington (FP) - The often
reliable Kiplinger agency here pre-
dicted in its new Kiplinger maya
zine that a shakedown in many
lines of business is a certainty in
l947, and that anything more SER
ious than that will depend on deci-
sions to be made by business, labor
and the government.
OF the mistakes made in 1916,
the magazines analysis said
those who hav e gotten theirs
fought ruthlessly to keep others
from getting loose from controls
big business attacking government
for flabbiness on wage controls
while insisting on price conces-
sions; farmers demanding con-
trolled farm equipment prices and
sky-high crop prices"
Pointing to the danger signals,
the article said consumer prices
are already 80 per cent over pre-
war levels; farm prices have soar
ed too high over the general price
level to be sustained and that as
autos, radios, refrigerators and
furniture become available, the
spending pattern of the people will
change"
In the realm of labor, the article
found a need for higher prOductiyi-
ty and fewer strikes, adding that
"if industry takes it's eye off the
production target and aims at
the unions, it will be in
viting a dangerous slugfest :.
if labor leaders make extreme de-
mands and refuse to compromise
them there may be no way of
strikes"

Curtis Candy Co.
.Sweefens Profits
BY Cutting Wages

| Chicago (FP) - A flood of evi-
dence that the Curtiss Candy Co.
has embarked on a union busting,
wage-slashing drive has been pre-
sented to the NLRB here, where
| hearings opened recently on
charges by Local 142, Internation-
al Brotherhood of Teamsters, that
the company is engaging in unfair
labor practices.
Curtiss operates in about 20
states, principally in the midwest,
has about 1920 driver statesmen
throughout the country, but has no
union contracts whatever. 1t does
an annual business of more than
81 million dollars. In 1916, through
wage cuts, it added another ST.
500, 200 to the profit till. The COM
pany distributes 43 candy and food
items, best known of which is the
Baby Ruth candy bar.
Union charges now being re-
viewed were filed last March Is
after the company had fired 10
driver statesmen who joined the
union. The men decided to organize
after the company slashed their
pay $26 week.
Announcement of the pay slash
was made at a meeting of all
drivers in Chicago and the suburb
an area called by company officials
last March 8. Earlier, 10 men had
been threatened with discharge if
they joined the teamsters' union.
On March 12, the day after pay
cuts went into effect, the 10 driv-
ers decided to join the union in
body.
According to their testimony,
they were stopped by company
representative as they entered the
union building. He warned them
again they would lose their jobs if
they signed up. The men brushed
past him and joined the union. The
next day all received letters in
forming them they were dismissed
"for lack of merchandise"
The Curtiss Co., according to the
union, has planned its operations
with the purpose in mind of avoid
ing unionization. 1t closed a ware
house in Aurora, H., when a union
organizer contacted some of the
workers there. Merchandise is now
sent direct to drivers homes.

Coils For More
Funds As Aid
To Labor Peace

Washington (FP) - Recogniz-
ing the Importance of a smoothly
functioning NLRB to keeping in
dustrial peace, President Truman
in his budget message Jan. 10 rec
commended an increase in the
NLRB appropriation for the fiscal
year 1913 of 3.5 million dollars.
Calling attention to the NLRB's
backlog of unfinished cases and in
creased work load, caused by an
increased number Of representation
and unfair labor practice cases, on
top of a drastic 1947 budget cut,
Truman said: "The program sub
mitted in this budget is designed
to reduce the backlog and keep the
NLRB more nearly current in
handling cases.
"This should diminish the incid-
ence of strike action by labor or
ganizations which is encouraged by
tardy handling of cases"
The message explained that the
backlog climbed AZ per cent during
the fiscal year 1916, and by an adj
ditional % per cent during the
first quarter of fiscal year l947,
(July-S Sept, 1946.) During recent
months, it said, the influx of new
cases was az per cent above the
previous years record.
Because of this lag" it was ex-
planned, labor organizations are
impelled TO resort TO strike action
as a defense against unfair labor
practices and in order to establish
proof of majority representation
for purposes Of collective bargain
ing, rather than invoke the judicial
procedures of the NLRB."
Truman called for an appropria-
tion of 1884 900 for the coming
years NLRB operations. The l947
appropriation was $4,070,000, to
which an additional $4,000 is ex-
pected as supplementary appro-
priation. The l947 amount repre-
sented a considerable drop from
the 1916 figure Of $4,308,00

New Pact Grants
Building Trades
25c Hourly Raise

New York (FP) - A 25 cent
hourly wage boost was granted to
200, 900 building construction work
ers here in an agreement reached
by 30 AFL building trades unions
and Il building contractors
groups.
The new agreement was hailed
by both sides as a stabilizing in
fluence in the industry and inter
preted as "a green light for the
immediate start Of building con-
struction for all those who have
plans ready"
Basic hourly wage in the con
tract was raised to $3.50, making
a 500 wage for a 4O-hour week.
Previously hourly wage was 1925.
As concession to the need for
stabilization the unions agreed to
an S-hour day at straight time in
stead of the 7-hour day prevailing
for construction workers. 1t was
also agreed that overtime should
be outlawed except in emergency
cases. The building trades work
ers receive doube-time for over
time work.
A joint statement by the Build
ing d Construction Trades Coun-
ell of New York and the employers
pointed out that under the old
agreement, which placed no limits
on overtime, weekly pay had been
as high as $l59.75 in New York
and $262.50 on some jobs in New
Jersey.
New York City has been both
unwilling and unable to compete
with such labor prices" the state
ment said, declaring that the new
agreement "levels off wages in
democratic way for the first time
in the history of AFL craft build
ing trades unions, and at the same
time provides reasonable take
home money commensurate to the
present day economic conditions"

Truman said he was assuming
that with minor fluctuations,
business activity will average
slightly higher than in the calen-
dar year 1916. Should re-
cession occur, it would be tenn
porary slump growing out of tran
sition period difficulties and would
call for no revision in our budget

Lockout Forces
Federal Workers
To Garry Lunch /.

Washington (FP) - Over 130,-
900 federal workers were forced to
bring their own lunch to work or
take their chances on slim pickings
! dished out by supervisory person
mel Jan. Z, as 1000 government
cafeteria workers stayed off the
job in the face of an employer
lockout.
The employees, members Of
Cafeteria Workers Local All,
United Public Workers, are hired
by Government Services Inc, a pri-
vate outfit with franchise to run
over SO cafeterias and lunchrooms
feeding Washington's army of gov
ernment workers. Half the net pro-
fits are supposed to be returned to
the government, with prices kept
low as a public service.
After weeks of negotiations over
1947 contract, GSI flatly told
the union that no contract was in
effect after the union membership
rejected an offer of an 8 cent hour
ly raise for all workers, on condi-
tion that the union drop other con-
tract demands. The union replied
by calling the GSI action lock-
out.
Union demands during negotia-
tions included: a 20 cents hourly
raise, scaled down to Is cents;
stabilized work week, with. 10
cent hourly bonus for less than six
hours work daily; Is days annual
sick leave, customary in govern
ment employment, but never
granted by GSI; Is days annual
vacation instead of the current II;
and an employer-financed hospital
ization fund.
Other employers under contract
with the union have granted these
demands, the union pointed out.
About 20 per cent of GSI workers
now earn 60 cents hourly, 35 per
cent get 63 cents, and the rest
range up to slightly over ST.. A
large proportion of GSl workers
do not get a full 40 hours of work
weekly.

the union.
A further appeal from manage
ment brought a change of heart to
the board, which handed down it's
2 to l decision dismissing the
unions complaint.
Citing previous court decisions,
the board said: "We cannot assume
that every expression of an en-
ployer's opinion, or every attempt
that is made by an employer to
present his thoughts to his en-
ployees is, in and of itself, an un-
fair labor practice.
"While we are fully convinced
that the employers in this case,
acting directly, and by and through
their supervisory employees, ex-
pressed a desire not to have their
employees select the complaining
union as their collective bargain
ing representative, we are unable
to find, from the record, that there
were any expressed or implied, or
direct or yelled, coercive threats or
acts"
The court also absolved the res
taurant owners on the charge that
they had refused to bargain with
the union, although the record
showed that management had per-
sisently ignored a request for
meeting with the union and when
finally one was held on the eve of
the strike, turned down all the
unions proposals.
Local union representatives
pointed out that this was the first
time the newly developed princi-
pie of "free speech" for employ
ers under the Wagner act had been
extended to allow propaganda on
behalf of company unions. 1t also
pointed out that the boards re-
versal of its previous unanimous
decision came after the Republican
sweep of the state in the Novem-
ber elections and conceded with
strong attacks on the Wanger act
and other labor protective legisla-
tion in the GOP-controlled Con-
gress.

ALP DenounceS
Federal Churqes

New York (FP)-Congressional
charges that the New York Politi-
cal Action CoOrdinating Commit
tee and various New York unions
had violated the federal corrupt
practices act by use of union
funds in the 1916 elections were
denounced here by the American
Labor party and the Greater New
York PACE.
Hyman Blumberg, chairman of
both groups, declared the House
Campaign expenditures committee,
which made the charge, had at no
time requested information from
the PACE and had received no
statement of its expenditures or
receipts, which have been filed
with the New York secretary of
state.
The committee, in it's final re-
port to Congress, charged 60 New
York unions with contributing
funds to election campaigns in vio-
lation of the law prohibiting such
contributions by unions or corpor-
ations.
.'The fact of the matter is,"
Blumberg said, "the principal
source of the New York coordin-
ating committees funds was not
from contributions by trade unions
but from voluntary contributions
by Individual trade union members
which were forwarded to the COM
mittee by their respective trade
unions"

UPPER CRUST
FEELS PINCH

New York (FP)-Fortune maga-
zine, the Big Business Bible, is
keeping a sharp eye on the cost of
living these days. Analyzing the
H. C. L., the magazine found that,
even after salary increases, many
Americans making more tn n
$4,000 a year are worse off now
than they were in 1910.
The poor guy who was making
$4,000 back in 1910 would have to
have made $4,000 in 1916 to come
anywhere near holding his own,
and at that he'd go slightly in the
hole, says Forune.
With fine candor, the maga-
zine comments: '"The squeeze is by
no means confined to the 8 per
cent of the country's families and
single consumers who enjoy in
comes of $4,000 a year and up, but
the state of mind of men in the
upper income brackets is a pecu-
liarly important factor in the U. S.
enonomy."

THE CHERRY TREE

While it is regretable that Tai
madge and Bilbo were not removed
from public life by the democratic
processes of their own states, it
is a gain that both are out. That is,
it is a gain if their states do not
replace them with ditto marks.
However, no new name, even
though standing for the same
things, can mean quite what they
have meant, with names long in
the building.
1t is to Republican credit that
they put up the "do not enter"
sign on the Senate door when Bilbo
sought to enter.
1t is NOT to Democratic credit
that most Democratic votes were
lined up on geographical lines, in
stead of on principle.
There is too much in the Bilbo
case that has nothing to do with
sectionalism, even if it is granted
that sectionalism has any merit.
Not is there any sound reason
to drag in the business of states
rights, because dealings with war
contractors is scarcely a sectional
matter.
One of the healthy aspects of
the Bilbo case is in the fact that,
when Bilbo's friends let it be
known that if he were challenged
he would "tell all'' on a lot OF
other fellows, the Senate had the
courage to tell him, in effect, to
let fly if he had any ammunition.
IL Bilbo has any facts about
wrong dealings with war contract

No JobIesS Poy
For Boyco++er
Of Open Shop

Philadelphia (FP) - Overruling
an earlier finding of the state su-
perior court, the supreme court
here ground out an open shop in
depreciation of Pennsylvania law
that will provide a jackpot for the
states employers.
The court told John Setting that
when he refused to give up his
union card and take a job at less
than union scale, he was "out Of
work by his own choosing" and not
entitled to the states unemploy-
ment benefits.
In 6 to | decision the court
ruled that Setting, who for 81
years had been a member of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters
& Joiners had turned down "suit-
able work" in refusing to work for
the Sun Shipbuilding & Dry Dock
Co. because it had a non-union
yard and the pay of $1.0lH to
$l.2O an hour was below the union
scale of $l.58.
Sole dissenting vote in the deci-
sion was that of Justice Alvin
Jones. Justice James b. Drew in
the majority opinion, conceding
that Setting might have been fined,
suspended or expelled by his union
for taking the job, said the ship
yard employment was suitable
work" which Setting rejected "be-
cause Of some contract he volun-
tarily entered into outside of his
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1947-01-16

ors it is to be hoped that he will
let fly with those facts. Mere mud
is not wanted.
The Senate is the Judge of its
own membership and it can throw
out any member or prospective
member for any reason or for
none. What it does to Bilbo il
can do to any other who seeks
entrance, or to any person who has
entered but who is found unwor-
thy.
1t is to be hoped that the Sen
ate will not forget its present
mood of righteousness, but will
continue with watchful eye for
malefactors-and there are many
kinds of malefaction, much of
which has nothing to do with war
contractors or country churches.
Now to another phase Of Con-
gressional business. Right off the
bat came proposals to slug labor,
absolutely according to prediction.
Promise and prophesy were full
filled, to the letter.
The labor haters came out
swinging-and wildly.
1t is to be expected that some
thing in the way of restrictive leg
islation will get through the mill.
What comes out will not look too
much like what goes in, because,
after all there is a national cleo
tion coming up-AND there are
men in the new majority who have
not been rushed off their feet in
a whirlwind of hate and resent
ment.
In view of everything, it still
goes that labor and management
had better get together and work
out plan of relationship that will
not require the repressing hand of
law and that will protect the pub
lie interest against mass tie-ups.
To say that it cannot be done
is to invite reprisals.
We have had our excesses, which
were to be expected. They have
come from many directions. En-
ployer stupidity has been almost
beyond belief. Labor stupidity has
been partly result.
But we cannot continue stupid
ity. 1t costs the nation too much
much more than it can afford.
Perhaps new national morality
is emerging. 1t is interesting to
observe how closely related are
and morale. Without the
first we don't have much of the
second.
1t isn't too late for labor to make
a huge contribution to a new NOR
ality. Nor is it too late for profit
fattened corporations to make
their contribution.
While the rest of the world goes
left, this nation sticks to the right.
But let it be clearly understood
that going to the right must not
mean needless reaction.
The balance between individual
and collective rights may be mar
row and hard to see, but see it we
quickly. Upheaval can
come mighty fast.
