The
.Acklinite
By Martin Bachli

Contrary to popular rumor,
YOUR committee is still hard at
work trying to get an improved
vacation plan, liz cents an
hour increase in wages and the
six paid holidays. Watch the
bulletin board for all meetings
applying to this.
Eddie Osborn is spending his
vacation at Saginaw Bay this
week. He sure is a lucky fellow.
While we fish the Maumee for
carp. Nelson Graham has just
returned from his vacation. He
claims he caught twenty large
bass in one of the Irish Hills
lakes.
We see where the "self styled
wolf" Ray is after new flame
in his department. Wonder when
he is going to give up?
Wedding bells are soon to ring
for Josephine from the small
line. Good luck Josephine.
Myrtle Mucci is again con-
fined to the hospital. If you can
find time, pay her a visit.

Warren Urges
Cooperation

WASHINGTON, July 80,
NPA) - In an address to the
Labor Relations Forum of the
Catholic University of America,
/. Edgar A. Warren, retiring direc-
tor of the u. S. Cancellation
Service, last week said that ex-
perience has taught us that
labor management re a t o n S
problems cannot be properly
handled by law, edict or regula-
ton"
What is needed, he said, is
"the creation of an atmosphere
of mutual cooperation and as
sistance, as opposed to an atmos-
phere of animosity."
TOO often punitive measures
create bitterness and remove the
possibility of labor and manage
ment working together towards
mutual detectives. Too often
regulations, no matter how we'll
intentioned, create suspicion, "
Warren pointed out.
M In discussing the work. of the
Cancellation Service, Warren
Said that during the recopver-
sion period the agency Awas
called in only after strikes Iere
underway in two-thirds of Nhe
situation.

Ford Co. Double
Crossed Eoremen

DETROIT, July 30 (LPA) -
How Ford Motor Co. went back
on its promise of mo reprisals'
and fired 80 foremen for taking
part in the recent 47-day strike
called by the Foremen's Associa-
ton of Observation-Disclosures
came out this week.
While the Ford FAA local
field charges the NLRB on be-
half of the 80 foremen with an
average seniority of 80 years,
President Pat Mullin told how
it happened:
Each man was called to
Foreman's Personnel and ap-
peared alone before a pair of
Ford investigators and two labor
relations men.
Charges were read. Each man
was told he was fired and then
asked if he wanted to make any
final comment before leaving. "
Branding as utterly ridicul-
Gus" company claims that the
men had been given q "fair
trial. Mullin explained that most
of the discharged men, all lead
ing union m e m b ers, were
charged with terrorism"
What the company meant, "
the FAA leader explained, lis
that they had been guilty of
urging foremen who worked
through the strike to come out
and join their picket lines. Five
or six men at a time had entered
the plant on these missions be-
cause of the open hostility of
Ford Service men.
Company charges that pickets
carried weapons were labeled
fantastic" by Mullin.
FAA members at Ford will
meet August 3 to consider plans
for renewing their strike.
Foreman's Association leaders
said the company promised lab
solutely no recriminations or re-
prisals" against striking fore
men.

Briefs

Thanks to the purchasers of
ball tickets for the benefit of the
Local IL Childrens Summer
Camp. Nobody ever spent a
dollar for a better cause. Any
child, whether its parents belong
to the union or not gets super
vised play, sunshine, good food
and swell vacation. Let's make
a good showing for our Unit.
And let's make a good show
ing for our Queen Contests en-
tries, Evelyn DINNER, Peggy
Radlinski and Delphine Ruba-
deaux.
During inventory, one of the
fellows wanted to bring over
some money for chairman Eddie
Brown for the Children's Camp,
But badge means nothing to
a straw boss, who called a guard
and had him go to personel. So
Brownie had to walk down to
see the guy. Maybe the Taft
Hartley bill has gone to some
bodys head. If it has, its mighty
lonesome up there.
Our committee is doing a fine
job and we want them to know
that we appreciate it.
We al wonder when the Lord
or management viii equip a
couple of supervisors with a
little conn mon sense and
courtesy. Small men never get
into big jobs. At least, not for
long.
Stanley K asks: do you know
who l am?" Maybe he has
amnesia.
If you want to be in the know,
come to your Unit meetings.

Typos Reject
All Contracts

INDIANAPOLIS, July 30
The International Typographical.
Union-AFL r enforced its de-
termination not to make any
new contracts under the Taft
Hartley law last week when il
advised its members throughout
the nation as follows
/. We cannot be compelled
to make contracts with EN-
ployers.
2. We cannot be compelled tc
work against our will or under
conditions unsatisfactory to us
3. We CAN collectively prom.
ulgate the specific conditions
under which our members will
work after expiration of existing
agreements.
4. We CAN collectively refuse
to work for any employer refus.
ing to meet union.promulgateo
conditions of employment.
5. We CAN issue 1--WE Do No
Patronize Lists"
On the question of the "unior
shop" as permitted if unions
comply with the Taft.Hartley
law, the typos have this to say
"If your union was designated
bargaining agent and IF yoL
were granted the right to ask fol
the so-called union shop and If
the employer granted it to you
and IF he hired non-union helr
(no matter how anti.union) ane
IF you took the union peo
pie into your union you still
could not get them out of the
shop by expulsion from the
union so long as the rats were
willing to pay dues. What kino
of a union shop is that? Dc
you want it?"

Dies At Sea-.

WASHIN GTON, July 80
(LPA) - The death of Robert
Watt, AFL international rela-
tions official, on the boat as he
returned from the International
Labor Conference in Geneva,
was the cause of real sorrow in
labor and government circles
alike last week.
The AFL spokesman, who had
been the top U. S. labor delegate
to almost every international
conference in the past IL years,
was born in Scotland SO years
ago and came to the U. S. in

Mass. when he first became ac-
tive in the labor movement, and
in 1915 became president of the
Lawrence Central Labor Union.
He served as vice-president of
the Massachusetts, State Fedora
ton of Labor from 1892 to 1887.
Watt came to the AFL as
international representative in
1896, the same year that he first
served as U. S. workers dele
gate to the international Labor
Conference in Geneva.
An infantry private in the
Canadian Army in World War /,
Watt served on the National War
Labor Board and other top
wage-fixing agencies during
World War II.
Labor Secretary Lewis
Schwellenbach. said that Watt
had been IAN eloquent spokes-
man for labor and democracy"
and that "the government will
miss his services as much as the
AFL, which he served so long"
