PRESIDENT CALLS MEETING TO DISCUSS ADMINISTRATION
 OF LABOR CONTROL BILL

WASHINGTON - President Tru- man this week called in members of the National Labor Relations Board to discuss administration of the Taft-Hartley labor control law passed over his veto.
 Presidential Press Secretary C. c. Ross, when asked MT. Truman s reaction to passage of the measure over his objections, replied:
 "The President spoke his views in the veto message"
 Paul M. Herzog is Chairman of the NLRB. The other members are John M. Houston and James J. Reynolds, Jr.
 Broad additional responsibilities are imposed on the NLRB by the new law, and Senate Republicans said they are planning to give it more funds to administer these duties
 The Senate, following the lead of the House, smashed down the veto Monday by a vote of 63 to 25, six more than the required two-thirds majority.
 The House three days earlier rolled up crushing 331 to 83 margin to override MT. Truman's disapproval of the Taft-Hartley measure = now law.
 The act imposes far-reaching limitations on union activities.
 Among other things, the new law: Sets up machinery designed to block national paralysis strikes; outlaws the closed shop; permits the union shop only wneh a majoritf of workers vote for it; prohibits jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycotts; makes unions liable for unfair labor practices and subject to damage suits.
 Wagner act revisions, such as the ban on the closed shop, do not go into effect for 60 days. The new mediation set-up will start operat- ing in 30 days.
 But another major provision is in effect now. This authorizes the government to obtain 8O-day in functions to block or stave off na- tional emergency strikes.

it has become one of the most influential
in the country.
Mr.. Reds death will be a loss to
the Fourth Estate. His contributions
to it's upbuilding in modern years were
and his leadership and in
fluence sound.
But it should not prove materially
detrimental to the Herald-Tribune.
This is because his widow has shared
her husbands journalistic interest with
equal enthusiasm for many years. She
has taken an active part in directing
the policies of the Herald-Tribune. With
one of the most competent staffs in the
country, established by Mr.. Reid, she
will, we believe, continue it as a fair
and progressive newspaper.

Statistics Worth Noting

The value of statistics depends on
their possible Interpretation in illustrat-
ing a condition or trend.
If experience has shown that a COM
parable set of figures sets a curve sub
stantiated by other facts, then it may
be rightfully considered in reviewing
the past and looking into the future.
Postal receipts have long been &C
copied in most quarters as being a
reliable meter of business conditions.
With that in mind, it is interesting to
note the postal revenue trend here with
in the past eight years, during which
Wilmington prosperity reached new
heights.
Beginning in 1889, they were $204,-
1854 for that calendar year. The following
year, last normal one before the war,
they were $218, 1862. Late in that period,
the first touch of the war boom was
sighted here. Construction was getting
under way at Camp Davis and plans
for the shipyard had been announced.
Yet few war dollars were flowing in,
therefore it's designation as a normal
IL months in business is proper.
The following year, the revenue curve
turned upward to reach it's peak-$524,-
340-in 1914. The next IL months saw
it turn downward and during the past
year the figure was S397,231. Compare
this with 1910, the last non-war year,
and you find an increase of S179,169
In addition, the 1916 figures were also
~greater than those of 1941 and 1912.
Thus, if postal receipts are to be con
sidered a partial Indicator, the past
peace-time year was better than the
first two of the war.
What about 1947?
Because the country is still in the
transition period from war to peace,
any forecast is difficult. Yet it appears
a good wager that the postal revenue
for the next IL months will continue
to top that of 1910, thus presaging
another normal year as the basis for
greater community growth.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-01-05
A Good Compromise

All concerned with the welfare of
North Cardinals schools should be
pleased by the decision of the North
Carolina Education association, backed
by the United Forces for Education,
to ask the general assembly for a 80
per cent increase in teachers salaries.
Previously, the NCEA had set the
limit at approximately 20 per cent.
Proponents of the South Piedmont
plan were demanding that the request
be about 40 per cent. |
Thus, a compromise has been effected
between the two factions, unless the
latter continues it's determination to de-
mand the higher rate of increase.
Such compromise was badly needed.
North Carolinians familiar with edu-
c%ational problems realize that the mis-
erly salaries paid teachers are the sys-
TENS greatest weakness. But the South
Piedmont proposal was beginning to
split the forces calling for a raise that
not only could be granted but maintain
ed without seeking additional revenue.
With the converting of the General
Assembly but a few days ago, this op-
portunity to regain lost unity should
be welcomed. AS a safeguard, the
NCEA and United Forces reserve the
right to boost the teacher pay request
still higher if the cost of living should
continue to rise.
It is much better to ask for an amount
that can be granted than n so ex-
cessive to bring on opposition, especial
ly an opposition that may emphasize
the possibility of new and higher taxes.
The increase in teachers pay is so vital
ly necessary that nothing should en-
danger it as the time nears for formal
presentation of the request to the legis-
lature.

Mr.. Ogden Reid

Ogden Reid, editor of the New York
Herald Tribune who died Friday night,
was perhaps best known for his practi-
cal execution of the tenet-honest pres
entation of the news-that has set
American journalism far above that Of
the remainder of the world.
1t was the inspiration of his late
father, former editor of the Tribune,
which prompted his devotion to this
principle.
Although his sympathies generally
were with the Republican party, Mr..
Reid once said in a commencement ad-
dress at Miami university that his edi-
torial policy was founded on an excerpt
from an editorial written by his father
at the close. of the Greeley-Grant presi-
Dental campaign, which read:
"The honest presentation of the news
whether it hinders Or helps the side
we favor-we believe to be the duty
of a great newspaper which means tc
deal fairly with it's readers"
The sincere practice of this princi.
pie is perhaps the greatest one thing
in the Tribune's tremendous growth
since Mr.. Reid took over as editor ir
1913. Since that time, the newspapers
circulation has multiplied ten-fold anc

Vets Should File Claims

The Navy is urging all it's veterans to
file claim for terminal leave pay as soon
as possible.
Necessary forms for filing claims are
available at all postoffices and contain
detailed instructions on how to fill them
cut. In addition, local representatives
Of the Veterans administration and ex-
servicemen's organizations are equally
able to help veterans with terminal
leave pay questions.
Less than half of the estimated total
of $4,000 0 claims for leave benefits
have been received by the U. S. Navy
terminal leave disbursing office at Great
Lakes, ILL.,, although the Navy has set
up a production line procedure which
is paying claims at the rate of 10000
per day.
On December 16, two months after
the Navy put this stream-lined opera
tlOn IN motion, the mllllOnth claim was
paid. However, unless veterans who
have not submitted claims do so prompt
ly it will be impossible to maintain the
current rate of payment. Former Navy
men are urged to get in their individual
claims while production capacity of the
terminal leave disbursing office is at
its peak.
Although the bonds in which men
are paid for terminal leave are not pay
able FIR five years, they can be used for
payments on National government life
insurance premiums. Furthermore, in
the event of the death of a veteran,
his next of kin can convert the bonds
into cash at once.
