British Action

Washington UPA)-The Labor
government of Great Britain was
congratulated for setting "a new
standard Of democratic statesman
ship" in a message on the British
granting of independence to India
signed among others by CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray and AFL Presi-
dent William Green.
Acting on the invitation of Leon
Henderson, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of Americans for
Democratic Action, more than 1875
u. S. leaders in all fields of life
joined in a telegram Of congratula-
tions to British Labor Prime Minis
ter Clement Atlee. "While no one.
in reason, can expect the new In
dian freedom to emerge without
great trial and difficulty, this be-
ginning is moral victory, almost
without parallel, for the conscience
of the democratic world" they told
Atlee.
Signers included: President Wal
ter p. Reuther, United Auto Work
ers-CIO; President Hugo Ernest,
Hotel & Restaurant Workers-AFL;
President Harvey Brown, Int'l
Association of Machinists-unaf-
filiated; President John Green, In

Congress Hit In
Catholic Press

New York LPA)-The labor po-
licies Of the Republican-con-
trolled 80th Congress were indicted
last week by the influential nation
al Catholic weekly, America, which
found that the COPS program
"will not foster social justice, and
neither will it bring us industrial
peace"
The Taft bill, declared the writ
er, Benjamin l.. Masse, reflects
more the class-conscious outlook of
anti-labor employers than it does
a concern with successful collective
bargaining" He emphasized:
"In no instance has the 80th
Congress approved Legislation aim
ed at helping American workers to
meet their personal and family OBJ
legations. The minimum wage re-
mains at 40c an hour; the Wag-
ner- Ellender-T Taft housing bill is
moribund; nothing is being done
about health insurance or necessary
changes in the Social Security Act.
The Labor Dept has been starved
for appropriations with the result
that child labor is on the increase
and the NLRB has backlog of
more than 5000 cases. And so the
dismal story goes"

10000 Members
Under Pension

New York City (ILNS).-A re-
port on the successful working OF
the pension plan of Local 3, Inter-
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, was made here to 800
members of the union, all OF them
more than so years of age.
After a reunion luncheon at the
Hotel Astor they learned from A.
Lincoln Bush, chairman of the
Joint Board of the Electrical In
dustry, that $559,0O0 in benefits
had been paid out. They were told
also that the plan will soon include
their families.
At the present time, Bush said,
10000 men in the union over 81
are receiving or are eligible to re-
ceive benefits. More than $780,
600 has been set aside to secure the
plan. 1t is administered by joint
board of 10 union officials and 10
heads of contractors associations.
The plan was put into operation
just years ago.

Four States Raise
Pay OF Employees

Chicago (ILNS) - -Four states
have recently raised pay of state
employees or extended wartime
salary boosts to cover continued
high living costs, the Civil Service
Assembly notes.
Minnesota state civil servants
were granted substantial raises eff
fective July /. New York legislat-
ors Incorporated wartime increases
into the permanent state pay
schedule. Wisconsin extended war
time raises for one year.
Oregon's Legislature authorized
pay increases for go top state adj
ministrators including the COVER
nor, secretary of state, state trea-
surer, and attorney general. The
governors salary was boosted
from $500 to $4,000 a year. In
other states, governors salaries
range from $4,000 in South Dakota
to $25, 900 in New York.
State salaries i'm Minnesota were
raised by legislative action elimin-
ating the lowest pay range in the
civil service pay plan, and adding
A new ranges at the top. Pay rates
will be adjusted to the next higher
range and employees also will re-
ceive three-step cost-of- living in
crease. With increases, pay for
Minnesota employees now ranges
from $3.50 to $700 per month.

Dismisses Officer
For Communism

Philadelphia.-The Upholsterers
International Union (AFL) dis
missed Peter j. Warhol, Mime
apolis local officer, from union
membership on charges he violated
union-by-law forbidding adher-
ence to Communist principles.
The executive board Of the union
affirmed unanimously the findings
of a three-man trial board which
heard WarhoPs case in Mime
apolis last April Is, 16 and II.
The union bylaw states that no
Communist, Fascist or Nazi, or a
believer in their principles, prac-
tees or theories may hold office.
At the Minneapolis trial, Inter-
national President Sal b. Hoff-
mann, who acted as prosecutor,
declared the union bylaw barred
Communists from office because
we know that American Commun-
lists are agents of the Soviet gov
ernment."

Workers Inferdependence In
Our Economy
BY ARTHUR A. ELDER
for the
Workers Education Bureau of America

| directors and prop men, to the
maintenance crews who may be
skilled workers on the one hand OF
/ sweepers on the othher.
While columnists pounced on
items of temperament, scandal and
/ romance, stars and manual work
ers alike faced a common need for
the security and self-respect which
can be obtained only through
unionism. Gradually the unions
within the industry grew. Today,
unions of entertainment artists
and the many workers in these
fields are an integral part of the
labor movement. They have done
a good job of establishing decent
working conditions, getting wages
into line with those paid in other
skilled employment-and in doing
so they have also promoted the
welfare of their brothers in the
ranks of labor generally. AS these
artists play a peculiarly public
role they have become "heroes" to
the public in the same sense that
any celebrity is "herO." When
celebrities proudly announce their
union membership they set a pat
tern for acceptance of unionism by
/, young and old alike.
Organized artists have helped
in gaining publicity for hard
pressed strikers and in dramatic
ing the needs of workers. Just as
they are especially suited to ap-
peal for funds with which to fight
infantile paralysis, so too is their
appeal effective in behalf of fellow
unionists.
The unions of employees in the
entertainment fields have helped
to stabilize the industries involved.
Collective bargaining has helped
to eliminate much waste time,
effort, and money. At the same
time, by establishing greatly i'm
proved standards of wages and
working conditions, the artists
unions have helped pave the way
for a more prosperous America in
the future.
The trend in American industry
and farming of using fewer work
efs and farmers to produce in
creasing quantities of goods is not
likely to be reversed. The persons
displaced by this trend will have
to find useful work or become part
Of an army of unemployed which
would, more seriously than ever
before, affect our whole economy
adversely. The alternative to
deepest depression is to enrich the
life Of the nation through expan-
sion of such fields as health SER
vices, education, recreation, and
the arts. The personnel needed for
this work is largely present in
latent talent and skill now employ
ed in industry and agriculture.
Today, artists are an integral
part of the labor movement. Their
unions have made a tremendous
contribution toward a be ter
future. The proof of the fact that
they are willing and anxious to
stand shoulder to shoulder with
their brother unionists is evident
in the effective manner in which
they rallied their support and their
talents in labor's fight to ward off
n i-union legislation-not as
stars paid for a performance but
as unionists speaking their own
language i'm "a cause which is the
common cause of American work

Taft's Charity
Health Bill Set
For Union Attack

Washington, (LPA)-Organized
labor will have it's say about Sem
ator Taft's charity health pro-
gram, and the Wagner-Murray-
Dingell national health insurance
beginning this week.
Representatives of the Oregon
Federation of Labor, the New
York Federation Of Labor, and the
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1947-07-03

Both inside and outside the
house of labor, unionism is too
often assumed to be the exclusive
property of the "horny-handed son
of toll" Persons connected with
the motion pictures, radio, litera-
ture, and all the work we know as
."the arts" are presumed to be
wealthy and living apart from the
struggles, problems, and worries
of our daily lives.
In considering the industries
which have developed around the
arts we have surrounded them
with such an aura Of glamour that
we are inclined to forget the mill
ions of wage earners involved in
those industries. We are rather
over-impressed by stories of fabu-
lous salaries, estates with swimm-
ing-pools, vacations in Mexico, and
divorces in Reno, that are the ex-
ceptions rather than the rule.
Consequently, even the most
alert trade unionist found it hard
to reconcile his deeply-imbedded
impressions with the reality of the
appearance of delegation of
these very highly-paid, well-known
movie stars at the recent AFL
convention in Chicago-not as en-
tertainers but as fellow AFL MEM
bers. But more-the stars had
come to the AFL convention to
discuss union problems, as leaders
Of important and effective unions
in the movie field and as repre-
sentatives Of tremendous number
of workers in their industry.
An examination of the lists of
international unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
would show a surprising number
of union members, covered by con-
tracts, involved in collective bar
gaining-all part and parcel of the
industries commonly known as the
arts.
Even the "stars" in these indus
tries have benefited by collective
bargaining. But contrary TO our
generally accepted picture, of the
millions employed in such fields as
the movie industry only few re-
ceive high salaries. The over
whelming majority, all of whose
effort makes possible the final pro-
duct, work and live under condi-
tions comparable to those in indus
try-and achieve security only
through their unions, just as other
workers do.
Before their organization, work
ers in the entertainment fields
were at the mercy of the fy-by-
night employers. Low wages or no
wages were too often their lot. De-
spite the expansion of the movie
industry during the past fifteen
years, when the bottom dropped
outnfor the rest of us during the
depression that preceded the re-
cent war, entertainers and pro-
duction workers in the music,
theatre and movie worlds were all
forced to join us on the bread-lines
and relief rolls.
The motion picture industry is
the best possible example of what
after the depression, be-
cause the situation there reflects
the circumstances of every possible
of worker in the
"arts"-from writer's, actors who
star, actors who play bit parts, to
the hungry extra; mus c ians,
painters, cameramen, office en-
ployes, designers and dressmakers,
