unions in the entertainment field.
The union actors, meeting at the

resolution declaring that the unions
would welcome attempts TO correct
labor abuses but would fight legis-
lation that will make impossible
the legitimate functioning of labor
unions" Several speakers warned

LocoI 100 Urges
Full Turnout At
Meeting. Moy 9th

Our coming meeting on May 9 is
of the utmost Importance to every
member Of the trade and it is the
wish Of the officers that every
member be present on this date.
At this meeting we will vote for
national officers and elect dele
gates to the American Federation
of Labor convention. The men
elected will represent you and
your interests in the coming
months, and in view of labor's
present position, this will not be
an easy task. We, as individual
members have much at stake and
should feel it a special duty to go
to the polls and support those we
think best qualified to represent
our interests.
The responsibility of deciding
such vital issues should not rest
upon the few, regulars" that al
ways attend, but demands the
presence of every member of the
local.
Other business to come before
the meeting will be the second
reading of new and revised by
laws.-O. c. 130.

Increase PdY Ends Threat
Of Western Union Strike

New York City (ILNS). = The
Commercial Telegraphers Union
has won a wage increase and other
concessions, ending the threat of
a nationwide strike of Western
Union Telegraph Co. employees.
In an all night session of COM
pany and union representatives
with Ronald w. Haughton of the
U. S. Cancellation Service, West
ern Union agreed to a wage in
crease of 5 cents an hour, an i'm
proved sick benefit plan, allowing
a maximum of 13 weeks leave at
full pay, revision of the company
pension program and mainten-
ance of membership clause provid-
ing for automatic dues check off
for new members. Two other AFL
unions, the Telegraph Workers
Union and the Telegraph Employees
Union, both small, were parties to
the negotiations.
The agreement is retroactive to
April l and can be reopened in 6
months to take up wage questions.
j. A. Payne, president of the
Western Union Division, CTU, de-
scribed the 5 cents an hour in
crease as a "down payment on a
wage program that will emerge
later"
Payne said the average hourly
pay rate of Western Union en-
ployes, exclusive of messengers,

that this bill will likewise earn a
veto, despite any notifications
which may be made by the Senate.
Pm not crystal gazer and | can't
read tea leaves, but | do know the
President will not accept this bill"
In a similar vein, Senator Irving
Ives Or. of N. w. told the Ameri-
can Society of Newspaper Editors:
"There is no point in sending a
bill to the President which has
features to which he seriously OBJ
jects."
Members of the AFL Executive
Council, gathering for their regu-
lar quarterly Spring meeting, made
it clear that they regard the pres
ent legislative situation as one Of
the major crises in organized la
boris history.
The Hartley Bill, adopted by the
House by an almost 3-to-1 vote,
presents a direct threat of the de-
struction of major gains built up
by national unions after long years

BACKS LABOR'S
STRIKE THREAT

Chicago (ILNS). - Support of
labor's right to strike and opposi-
tion to compulsory arbitration was
voiced by Cyrus S. Ching, director
of industrial and public relations
of the United States Rubber Co., in
speaking at the mid-year conven-
tion of the National Wholesale
Druggists Association.
In support Of the strike issue,
Ching said "there are things more
important than industrial peace in
this country. l would never take
from labor their right to strike"
Responding to question on his
opinion of compulsory arbitration,
he declared that he opposed it "be-
cause it meant sacrifice of freedom,
which is always wrong in a demo-
cracy."
In an outline of the present la
Dor situation in this country,
Ching said the process Of legisla-
tion has gone too far, permitting a
"labor monopoly parallel to the
business monopoly that existed a
half century ago. Business mono-
poly had to be smashed"
Business should not always be
after passage of laws to bolster its
labor relations; he asserted, be-
cause meeting the problem is "just
plain salesmanship."
The question OF labor leadership
was raised by one of the associa-
ton members. Ching in reply said,
"By and large, labor leadership
a cross-section of the
people,"

Local Union 124 will vote for
national officials at their next
meeting on May 9Th, with the polls
open from noon until adjournment
of the meeting. Sister Margaret
Curley is chairman of the commit
tee to serve on the polls.
We urge all members to come
out and cast their vote. Voting for
national officials is a duty every
member should feel proud to per-
form. Since national election
only occurs every two years, it is
not asking too much to urge each
and every member to cast their
ballot in the general election.
Election of delegates to the con-
vention will also be held next meet
ing. Mark the date on your calen-
dar now and be sure to be present
on May 9th.
We take this means to notify
our members who are sick, or or
dered by their doctor to take time
off, not to request withdrawal
cards. Report to our secretary and
have your name placed on the sick
list. The local then carries you un-
til you are able to return to work
and this way, you retain your
standing in the organization and
your insurance benefits continue
Retiring because of old age is
not included in sick benefits. In
this case you apply for an honor
ary membership card.-O. c. 124.

Drive On Against
Bootleg Mining

Glace Bay, N. S. QLNS). = A
coal strike declared in mid-Febru-
ary by the United Mine Workers
for District 26, is still on. A pro-
posal by the New Brunswick gov
ernment that an agreement be
made for supply coal to a Grand
Lake power plant was approved by
representatives of the union at con-
ferences, but rejected by the rank
and file members at a special refer
endum. The provincial government
then passed emergency legislation
which empowered it to take over
and operate any mine within the
province. The mine chosen was that
of the Avon Coal Co., a subsidiary
of the Oxford Paper Co., New
York City. The workers at that
mine had been non-union but had
gone out with the UNIV call. They
returned to work only to supply
the power plant, it being claimed
that suspension of power opera
tions would cripple industry, trade
and homes within about so miles.
The Catholic clergymen of Cape
Breton have issued a collective
statement approving the wage
and other demands of the NMW
and this has been circulated by the
district executive.
A campaign has been launched
against operation of bootleg mines,
which had been returned to produc-
tion since the start of the strike
and had been supplying coal to coal
dealers in various centers of Nova
Scotia. One such mine was found to
have been covered by barn.
Pickets against the unloading of
soft and hard coal carriers from
Pennsylvania and the Virginias,
have been established at the ports
of Halifax, Sydney and St. John.
The local of the coal handlers
Union at st. John, claimed they
have to unload the coal or violate
a contract.

Signs New Poet
With Universal

New Castle, Pa. - After five
long days of sitting around the
conference table, Brother Ed.
Wheatley, our first vice President
and the Shop Committee of Loca,
lS3, have concluded and signed q
new wage agreement with Univer-
sal Sanitary Manufacturing Co.
Mr.. Clyde M. Whitaker, Execu-
tive Vice President of the Com
pany signing for the firm.
The agreement provides for a
l2A cent per hour general increase
to all employees working in the
plant, with few extra adjust
ments - in the Mold Shop and for
Boiler Firemen. The general in
crease retroactive to March 26th,
1947.
Included in the agreement, is
perhaps, new departure, when
viewed from the standpoint of the
old time casters = that is the pro-
vision pertaining to the joint time
study of production problems.
Brother Wheatley, and the Shop
Committee were realistic enough
to face this issue of joint time
study, on the basis that a complete
revolution has taken place in the
method of production - from the
bench to the conveyor system of
production which is not local
condition, but is now fast becom-
ing universal throughout the sani-
tary industry, and ir the words of
Brother Wheatley "The time
has come when we must recognize,
and face the issue of joint time
study, which can be worked out to
the mutual satisfaction of the
members and the firm.
Brother Wheatley, and the Shop
Committee, in their recommended
tion of the agreement to the mass
meeting of several hundrd of the
members, urged all concerned, to
enter into the spirit of the new
agreement with an honesty of pur-
pose, and to apply it to the mutual
benefit of all concerned. To keep
ever in mind that it is not I'm
lateral agreement, but must be
lived up to in all its provisions.
