Welcome Elks

u
Well Folks:
Our good friend and neighbor
Doc Benson, publisher of this pa
per, tells me that at the time this
letter goes to press our fair city
will be host to about 5000 members
of Elks Lodges, scattered over the
Seven Western States, Hawaii and
Old Mexico. I'm sure that you will
wish to join me in extending to
them the best of everything that
we and Phoenix can possibly offer
to make their short visit with us
one of many pleasant memories.
My only worry is where can we
house that large a group of visi-
tors? Phoenix certainly needs a
large first-class hotel. For years it
has been one of my "pipe dreams"
to build, along with other business
es, a good hotel on this corner. But
so far have been unable to obtain
satisfactory title to the property to
justify any such large expenditure.
Or as far as that is concerned the
capital to promote such business
venture. But it would certainly be
a worthy venture, and if properly
operated, a very profitable one for
some organization like the 'Elks' to
promote.
Well, let's give them a rousing
welcome and maybe they will over
look, in part, our shortage of hotel
accommodations. We here at Red
dy's Liquor Department are hoping
to be able to do our part.
Thanks Again,
ANNIE MAE, VIRLEE and
FREDDY"
P. S.-Hey Kids-and or Folks
too, we are now selling all of the
popular candy bars that we can get
at the price marked ON the bar.

New Telephone Union
May Reject Both AL, ]
Clio AffiIiation Bids
Ru tha A..oeiated Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, June IL
The newly formed Communications
Workers of America seemed determ-
ined today to fight their way alone
without CLIO or AFL help, at least
for the near future.
Therefore plans are being rushed
for one of the hottest organizing
wars that labor has seen in years-a
battle royal among unions for
supremacy In the telephone In
dustry.
The CWA convention here still
faced a debate on whether to order
membership referendum on the
question of becoming CIO union.
But even if such a referendum is
ordered at this time there is virtu-
ally no chance that it will swing the
/ CWA into the CIO. This was DEM
onstrated yesterday.
Constitution Change Attempted.
The CWA constitution says ma
! jority of the entire membership
must vote yes before the union can
affiliate with any other group. The
constitution was written last No.
vember when the loosely built Ma
tional Federation of Telephone
Workers decided to abolish itself
this summer and create single
union, the CWA.
4 A vain effort was made yesterday
to change the constitution SO that
affiliation could take place on "a
majority of the votes. cast" in a ref
erendum This would have made
affiliation much easier.
The proposal to change the con-
stitution needed rs per cent con-
vention vote to succeed. 1t got only
40 per cent.
| The union situation in the tele-
phone industry has been in a scram-
BILE since the recent telephone strike.
/ CIO Starts Organizing Drive.
In that strike the Bell Telephone
System weakened the plan for a
strong unified union by forcing the
NFTW to abandon its demands for
Nationwide bargaining and a uni
form wage increase across the
country.
The NFTW began splitting up
even before the prearranged date
of It's dissolution last Sunday.
Two weeks ago the CIO, having
no confidence that the CWA would
come into the fold under its consti-
tuition as written, formed the Tele-
phone Workers Organizing Com
mittee and went after NFTW af-
flliates.
Situation Is Outlined.
Today the situation was emerging
something like this:
/. The CWA, headed by Joseph A.
Beirne, claims to have 161 900 dues
paying members. or about 100000
