Great Lakes Men
PickAFL Union

Detroit QLNS.-The Seafarer:
international Union, AFL, won {
significant victory when unlicensed
personnel of A ships operated by
the Wyandotte Transportation Co
on the Great Lakes selected it as
their bargaining agent.
1t was the second time recently
that the AFL union had been chos-
en- to represent Great Lakes sea-
men. 1t won the right to represent
personnel on 2 vessels operated by
the Huron Transportation Co. in
June.
In the Wyandotte contest the
STU received AZ of the SO valid
votes cast. The other votes were
for no union.
Union spokesmen declared that
the National Maritime Union, CIO,
had been represented in the cleo
ton but withdrew before the vot-
ing was completed.
Similar elections are scheduled
soon for employees of companies
with 33 Great Lakes ships, union
spokesman said. These await an
order from the National Labor Re-
lations Board.

Board Seeks To
Mediofe Demands

Chicago (ILNS).-The National
Railway Mediation Board has in.
tervened in an attempt to break
the deadlock over demands of the
country's 100000 incorporating
railroad workers for 20 cents hour
ly wage increases.
The board, acting under provis-
ions of the National Railway Labor
Act, met here with representatives
of the II unions involved and plan
ned later conferences with repre-
sentatives of the carriers. Both
sides asked the board to try for a
settlement after the railroads re-
jected the wage increase demand.
The 5 brotherhoods of railroad
operating workers have demanded
changes in "A working rules. The
Railway Labor Act provides that
the mediation board would inter-
vene in this case, too, if the confer
ences become deadlocked. About
100000 workers are involved. The
rules change issue is the same that
caused the railroad strike last
year.
If mediation fails the act pro-
vides for voluntary arbitration or
investigation by fact-fnding
committee before any strike can
be called.

rSWoll Says Lower Profits
Will Net Healthy Economy

Washington (LPA)-AFL Vice
president Matthew Woll told
Chairman Taft and the members
of the Joint Committee on the
Economic Report last week that
"Wage rates need corrective read
justments upward and we hope
that some prices can be corrective
ly readjusted downward" He add
ed that to achieve a balanced econ
omy, we also need Corrective ad-
justment downward of some pro-
fits"
Woll told the members of Con-
that "The AFL is convinced
mat the feast and famine policy of
American industry which in gener-
al has allowed prices and profits
to climb to such unprecedented
heights that consumer buying pow
er is dangerously tagging will in
evitably lead to economic recess
ion unless corrective action is TAX

The AFL spokesman went on to
warn that if business could make
peak profits in reconversion year,
Either profits must boom to un-
precedented heights in 1947 with
consequent bust or a new lower
price policy must be instituted

ory Boards. He said:
"Unquestionably the well-organ-
lied interest groups who have
fought to cripple any form of rent
controls quickly made their recon-
mendations to the Governor. Work
ers and their families will be the
ones to suffer if the wrong persons
are appointed to these local boards.
1t is up to your Central Labor
Unions, therefore, to take immedi-
ate action in recommending quail
fed labor representatives for SER
vice on these boards.

with more reasonable profits but q
continuing strong, stable, mass
market"
The answer to the price-wage
spiral "does not lie solely in high
er wages" Woll went on, "but in
industry returning to the almost
forgotten American tradition of
mass production at lower unit
costs and lower prices for an ever
increasing market"
The AFL, he reported to the
Joint Economic Committee, "has
had to resort to all kinds of
methods to find out their employ
ers' ability to pay"
"In asking for access to infor-
nation as a basis for collective
bargaining" the AFL representa-
tive asserted, 1--WE are not asking
for trade secrets or similar mater
ial that is clearly private property.
'Honest distribution" he said,
"necessitates supplying to each
group information on purchasing,
overhead, depreciation, reserves,
costs of production, salaries of ex-
ecutives, taxes, compensation for
office staff, production staff and
stockholder, returns from sales
and other sources, gross and net

Hamilton, Ont.-Since this is my

the role Of official correspondent,
| wish to take this opportunity to
express the feelings of the first
two delegates that attended an
NIB. of O.P. national convention

such a manner and policy, come

Our personal thanks for the
most cordial welcome and pleasant

newly found friendship will extend

where that ceases to be true is in

Cautions Agdinst F oolish
Action On NewLd Low

Washington, D. c. OLNS).-
Labor unions must be cool at this
time and should warn all members
against panic, anger or any emot-
ion that might result in any foolish
striking back at an imagined in
justice, growing out of the passage
of the Taft-Hartley bill, the July
issue of the Machinists Journal
cautions in an editorial titled, "It's
Still Legal to Vote"
"This is no time to lie on our
backs, like a spoiled child, scream
ing and kicking" says the official
publication of the International
Association of Machinists. THE
Taft Hartley law is passed. 1t is
the law of the land. Only time can
tell how good or how bad it is.
"The experienced union man
feels the act is designed to pro-
vocate outbreaks; so that more
vicious restrictions can be justi
fied," the editorial asserts, indicat-
ing that labor may take two
courses not counted on by the
drafters of the act.
Can Still Quit Work
''The law still permits worker
to quit his job" it observes. "Men
will learn to do so effectively. The
law seems to make much litigation

Progress Being
Made In Sanitary

Trenton, N. Jour delegates to
the convention were back with us
at our last meeting and gave very
interesting reports. For two of
them it was their first experience,
and we were GLAD to hear that Bro.
Hannah was honored by being call
ed to the chair while the commit
tee on Officers Report was read.
The delegates thanked the local
for sending them, said they had a
swell time and felt that much pro-
gress was being made in sanitary,
and that they had become better
acquainted with the organization
as a whole.
The differences in contracts in
sanitary has brought about pecu-

| Taft Hartley bill has fully drama
tized the need for the American
people to understand issues clearly
and to decide for themselves which
side is the side they favor in any
given labor problem. 1t is the OBJ
ject of the Labor News Review to
assist our listeners in developing a
sound knowledge and understand
ing of labor. In my opinion, the
Labor News Review is successfully
performing that function.
Force for Good Will
"Mr. Dennis, | think you are to
be congratulated for your unpre-
JUDGED, factual reporting of the
most controversial labor news
items during the past 13 years. By
sticking to the facts, you have
made your program attractive not
only to the rank and file of work
ers, but you have made it must
listening for many enlightened
men and women in the field of
management. You are, therefore,
strong force here in the nations
capital, operating on behalf of
tolerance and good will in labor re-
lations, a field of endeavor which
all Americans realize is vitally i'm
portant to our national life.
"On behalf of your listeners and
WTOP. | want to wish you, Mr..
Dennis, and your program, the
Labor News Review many
happy returns of the day."
