TOBIN HITS POOR
STRIKE TIMING

indianapolis (LPA)-In an edit
orial in the July issue of the Init
Teamster, journal of the AFL
Teamsters, President Daniel j
Tobin points out that ill-conceived
strikes are no aid to organized
labor.
During the 80 days prior to the
veto of the Taft Hartley bill
we had more strikes and requests
for strike endorsements than in the
IL months preceding that perid d."
Tobin noted that employers used
the legislative crisis to stall on
negotiations, but added his belief
that unions should have exercised
more restraint while the anti-labor
Legislation was before Congress.
The Teamsters' president also
cautioned local union leaders
against strike action in industries
whose business is stagnant. Don't
go out on strike just because you
have not had raise in wages re-
Gently. Go out on strike il you
think you can win and if the indus
try can meet. your demands. And
be sure you comply with all laws
before you go on strike or before
you request endorsement of the
strike from the international Un-
ion."

up three requirements for resump-
tion of per capita payments to the
AFL. In addition to the Executive
Councils permitting the AFL Pre-
sident to define upon request Mac

firmation of the Machinists' rights
to erect and repair machinery on
construction jobs, and withdrawal
of "a Green letter which tried to
give the Operating Engineers the
Machinists' work of trial-testing
machinery on ships prior to com
mission" Despite these stipula-
tions, the Machinists claim that
they are prepared themselves to
protect their jurisdiction against
claims of other unions, and are not
concerned now with any specific
disputes if the AFL Council will
reaffirm President Green's power
to confirm the IAM's traditional
jurisdictions.

Steps Needed To
Curb PrOfiteerS

Washington (LPA)-While com
mending President Truman's short
term recommendations sent to Con
gress with his midyear economic
report, AFL President William
Green last week warned that 'they
don't go far enough"
Vigorous steps are needed,
Green said, ''to drive from Amer
ica's postwar markets the uncon-
scionable profteers whose specu-
lation with American homes and
American workers jobs is threat
ening the future stability of our
nation."
;. Calling for a s'peace production
drive" the AFL head said it should
be backed by courageous and Wig
liant public policy designed to re-
duce the cost of living and to safe
guard the integrity of incomes pro-
ductively earned"
"The crucial point brought out
in the report" Green pointed out,
"is that in 1947 the per capita r al
income of consumers has continued
to decline because wage income
has fallen behind rising prices.
This unbalance between the buying
power of consumers and expanding
production, if allowed to persist, is
bound to place the future stability
of our whole economy in grave
jeopardy"

AFL Leaders Arrested
In Open Shop Law Test

Asheville, N. C. LPA) - Six
AFL local leaders and two Ashe-
vile employers are under $4,000
bail after having been arrested for
violation of the states new "anti-
closed shop" law. They were ar
rested July Is in the course of
AFL efforts to get test case on
the new legislation into the state
courts.
North Cardinals anti-closed shop
law, like most of the so-called
fright to work" acts, prohibits any
contract provision which conditions
employment upon membership or
continuation of membership in any
labor union. 1t also prohibits the
check-off system for the collection
of union dues.
Particularly stringent is the pro-
vision in the North Carolina sta
tute which makes any agreement
between an employer and a union
under which non-member is de-
MED employment "an illegal COM
bination and conspiracy in re-
straint Of trade or commerce"
A union employer was arrested
along with A. M. Debruhl, agent of
the Asheville Building and Con-
struction Trades Council-AFL, and
business agents of five of the Coun-
cil's affiliates for violation of the
anti-union security provisions Of
the l947 law, while another en-
ployer was charged with violating
the ban on the check-off.

Fewer Jobs Open
Govt Reports

Washington (LPA)-Fewer jobs
were available in manufacturing in
May 1947 than in the preceding
month, or in any May since 1910,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
vealed. Hiring rates fell from 81 to
AZ per 1000 employees, and layoffs
rose from ten to Is per 1000.
Significant declines are being
felt in the rubber tire, radio and
electrical equipment industries, and
parts of steel, as well as in the
hard-hit shipbuilding and aircraft
industries. Apparel trades, textiles
and leather goods workers continue
to suffer from what BIS hopes is
seasonal unemployment. Hiring
rates for women workers have
dropped off more than the general
average.
Food, tobacco, petroleum and
coal industries alone report small
increases in employment rates over
April.

Warren, Retiring,
Urges Cooperation

Washington (LPA)--In an adj
dress delivered to the Labor Rela-
tions Forum of the Catholic Uni
versity of America, Edgar A. War
rem, retiring director of the u. S.
Cancellation Service, last week said
that experience has taught us
that labor-management relations
problems cannot be properly hand
led by law, edict or regulation" /"
What is needed, he said, is "the
creation of an atmosphere of mu-
tual cooperation and assistance, as
opposed to an atmosphere of ami
mostly"
"Too often punitive measures
create bitterness and remove the
possibility Of labor and manage
ment working together towards
mutual detectives. Too often regu-
lations, no matter how well inten-
toned, create suspicion" Warren
pointed out.
In discussing the work Of the
Cancellation Service, Warren said
that during the reconversion period
the agency was called in only after
strikes were underway in two
thirds of the situations. While
praising the determination of both
labor and management to stick to
voluntary procedures for settling
disputes, he urged both employers
and unions to make greater use of
federal and state Cancellation mac
hinery before allowing work stop
pages to take place.

| Inc PRESIDENT dismissed predlc-
tions of imminent depression with
| the statement that "month by
month recession has failed to ma
terialize.'
Sees Readjustments Needed
Truman declared that "the un-
precedented prosperity of our ma
tion must not be a cause for idle
self-congratulation" and warned:
"We must remember that full
employment at high price level is
being sustained at present by the
reconversion demands of business
and the backlog demands of con-
sumers, by extensive use of saw
ings and credit and by an extraor-
dinary excess of exports over i'm
ports. These are temporary props
to our economic system. AS they
weaken, we shall need to make
basic readjustments to complete
the transition to, permanently
stable and maximum-level peace
time economy"
"Price and income adjustments
stand foremost in need of atten-
tion," the President said. He re-
ported there had been some level
ing off in prices in the second quar-
ter of this year, and added:
"This improvement in the price
situation should not blind us to
need for further price reduction in
some cases. In other cases there is
need to hold the price line in the
face of recent developments which
revive some fears of another up
swing in imitation.
Some Pay Boosts Urged
"There are many areas where
price reductions still are necessary
to check current or prospective de-
clines in demand and to provide
outlets for increased production"
Upward wage revisions are still
needed in many cases, the Presi-
dent urged, discussing wages and
salaries.

peaceful wage adjustments during
the first half of the year improved

Typos Strengthen
TIL Law Defiance

Indianapolis (LPA)-The Int'l
Typographical Union-AFL rein
forced its determination not to
make any new contracts under the
Taft Hartley law last week when
it advised its members throughout
the nation as follows:
Owe cannot be compelled to
make contracts with employers. q
We cannot be compelled to work
against our will or under condi-
tions unsatisfactory to US. 3-We
can collectively promulgate the
specific conditions under which our
members will work after expiration
of existing agreements. Awe can
collectively refuse to work for any
employer refusing to meet union
promulgated conditions of employ
ment. 5-We can issue We Do Not
Patronize Lists
On the question of the "union
shop" as permitted if unions COM
ply with the Taft Hartley law, the
typos have this to say:
"If your union was designated
bargaining agent and if you were
granted the right to ask for the So
called union shop and if the en-
ployer granted it to you and if he
hired non-union help (no matter
how anti-union) and if you took
the non-union people into your un-
ion you still could not get them out
of the shop by expulsion from the
union so long as the rats were will
ing to pay dues. What kind of
union shop is that? Do you want
it ?"

SUGGESTIONS OHeTeu ana Ine re-
quest you submitted. After doing
SO, the executive council decided it
would be impossible to formulate a
common and unified policy of act
ion for the purpose of protecting
living standards of American peo-
pie and to assure effective political
expression on the part of organ
lied labor and to elect progressive
representatives to the Congress of
the United States as set forth in
YOUR letter, without first ending
division within the ranks of labor
through the establishment of or
ganizational unity. This is a pri-
mary requirement to the success
of any plan or program such as
you outlined in the third paragraph
of your letter."
Green emphasized that "it is di-
vision within the ranks Of labor
which is hurting labor" and said:
"We of the AFL have endeavored
to make that fact plain ever since
the House of Labor became divid-
ed.
"If that fact could not be appre-
ciated and understood before the
notorious ft-Hartley bill became
law, it ought to be understood now.
If we remain divided we will suffer
more. If we become solidly united,
we can defeat our common enem-
ies."
Urges Prompt Action
Green referred to the declara-
tion adopted last May 2 by COM
mittees representing the AFL and
CIO, in which the committees join
ed in saying it was their unanim-
Gus opinion that "organic unity
should be established within the
American labor movement" He
added in conclusion:
"In view Of the declaration made
and the facts submitted in this let
ter l extend to you and your asso-
ciates in behalf Of the executive
council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor an invitation to meet
with Representatives of the feder-
alton at some convenient date
within the immediate future for
the purpose of making real and
vital the declaration unanimously
adopted by the representatives of
the CIO and the American Fedora
tion of Labor May 2 to end divis-
ion, discord and disunity within the
ranks of labor and establish labor
SO darity and organizational
unity"

because of increases in the cost
of living, the purchasing power OF
total consumers incomes is no
higher than at the beginning OF
the beginning of the year.
"In some cases wage increases
are still needed to attain workable
relations in the wage and salary
structure and to alleviate hardship
due to wages which are substand-
ard or which have risen substan-
TALLY less than the increase in the
cost of living.
Except for such special circum-
stances, wage increases should be
related to general trends in pro-
ductivity and not made on basis
which forces price increases or
prevent price reductions needed to
assure sale of increasing supplies"

share of his report to housing and
other construction and urged en-

From the purely economic
standpoint" Truman said, "many
have repeatedly emphasized the
dangers to our economy if the
