DAH Musicians S
Bon RECORDINGS
Sterling Jan. 7sf

Chicago (LPA) - A showdown
fight between recording companies
and the American Federation OF
Musicians-AFL was definitely ir
the making last week following the
decision of the AIM to halt all
recordings and transcriptions on
Jan. l.
Top bandleaders and symphony
musicians who may lose millions of
dollars a year in record royalties,
were solidly behind the ban an
nounced by AIM President James
Petrillo. The decision means that
none of the AIMS 225,0OO men,
bers in the U. S. and Canada will
make any records or transcriptions
for commercial sale or radio use
after Dec. 81.
Announcing the AIM boards de-
cision, Petrillo said, "We're quit
ting. Members of the AIM in the
United States and Canada are de-
termined for once and for all that
they will not make the instrument
that will eventually destroy them.
They realize that in making record
ings and transcriptions they're
making their own competition,
which would destroy them."
The public will feel the effect

Sc AFL, Six CIO
Unions File tn
Finance Reports

Washington (LPA) - Fifty-six
AFL international unions and six
CIO affiliates have filed Taft Hart
ley organizational and financial re-
ports, the Labor Dept announced
last week.
Failure to file, like failure to
sign the Taft-Hartley anti-Com-
munist affidavits, bars a union
from using the facilities Of the MI
RIB.
A listing released by the Labor
Dept showed that a total of 1895
unions had filed. Of these 2034
were affiliated AFL unions and
130 affiliated CIO unions. There
were 769 independent unions in
cluding both parent organizations
and affiliated locals.
The first collective bargaining
elections under the new law were
ordered by the NLRB last week.
The first will be held among 300
workers employed by Citiess Serv-
ice Oil Co. and will determine
whether the Seafarers Int'l Union
AFL will be the bargaining repre-
sentative. The second, involving 25
factory clerical employees and time
keepers in a jamestown, N. Y,
plant will decide whether the en-
ployes wish to be represented by
the Int'l Association of Machinists-
unaffiliated.
In both cases the issue arose
when the employer refused to rec
ognize the union after it had been
certified as the exclusive bargain
ing agent.
Meanwhile NLRB Chairman Paul

bearing on the American workman.
More than so percent of the dis
placed persons are women and chill

on our employment problems. There
are among them domestics, nurses,
doctors and farm hands-excellent
material to fill our manpower
shortages and many who could add
industrial and scientific skills in
service to the United States"
In another action, the convention
voted to endorse the report prepar-
ed by a special committee of the
United Nations on the Palestine
question which calls for the estab-
lishment of a separate Jewish state
and proposes that during the next
two years 10000 Jews be admitted
into Palestine. The convention said:

Green said the meeting Of union

for the league concerning its or

Halloween
Peace Valley Park
Scene OF Fun FrOlic

East Palestine, Ohio-After dis
pensing with business matters per-
tanning to the affairs of Local
Union 1856 at our last session, the
remainder of the evening was de-
voted to discussing the Halloween
party to be held at Peace Valley
Park on Friday evening, Oct. 31th.
The party, from all indications
will be humdinger and in keeping
with the spirit of Halloween.
Masquerade costumes will be in
order, but the committee wishes it
understood that it is not compul-
sorry. If you don't feel like
dressing up in robes Of Old Mother
Goose or Witch Hunters, all well
and good, come to the party any
way and join with your fellow
members in an evening of fun.
There will be roller skating early
in the evening, followed by "A
dance with music being furnished
by a top-notch orchestra. Oh yes,
let me remind you, lunch will be
served. We hear via the grapevine
the delicacy will consist of hot
dogs and doughnuts with plenty of
cider on tap.
The committee has gone all out
in their efforts to make this party
a success, and the decision rests
with the members if they are to
be rewarded for their efforts. Let's
all make it a point to show our
appreciation and be on hand at
Peace Valley Park on Oct. 81.
The $64 question in the holy city
at this writing, "How long are we
going to be laid off 2" With the
ever increasing price of the cost of
living mounting daily, two or three
days from our weekly toll makes
a big dent in the pocketbook.
Congratulations to Mr.. and Mrs.
Larry Parada. Reports from the
proud papa indicate that's quite
nice girl they have.
Congratulations also to Dale and
Tillie on their recent marriage.
Our sincere wishes that the acci-
dent they had the last week while
to the shop did not result
in serious injury.-O. c.. 156.

Sfrikebreoking
By Eviction Is
Threat To AFL

bakersfield, Calf. (LPA)- The
DiGiorgio Farms Corp, is attempt
ing to use eviction notices to break
the strike of 1900 farm workers,
members of the Natl Farm Labor
Union-AFL, on its giant ranch
near here.
Last week, $50 families living
on the ranch received 30-day evic-
ton notices, and 16 single men
were evicted from the bunkhouses.
With strong support from organ
ized labor in California, backed up
by action taken at the AFL's ma
tional convention here, strikers are
still holding firm.
Otherwise 100% effective, the
only violators of the picket lines
are 130 Mexican nationals who
have been threatened with depor-
tation if they do not continue to
work. Protests have been directed
to the States Dept by AFL Presi-

Mexicans to continue working or
face deportation.

Cleveland (LPA)-A dispute ov.
er disposition of a 100000 public
relations fund last week led to the
removal of two of the three mem
bers of a board of trustees of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
Dismissed by the BRT's execu-
tive board were P. j. Baumberger,
secretary of the board, and E. c.
Bassett. The two were found guilty
of interfering and obstructing eff
forts of the president of the Broth
erhood CA. F. Whitney, in the mat
ter of public relations and with the
efforts of the president to cooper
ate with bona fide labor organiza-
tions and other organizations on
matters of mutual interest" Whit
ney also contended that the two
interfered with the BRT's newly
established political action pro-
gram.
Bassett contended that the
charges were "rigged" and said
that he had opposed $1,000 contri-
buttons to the Progressive Citizens
of America and the Southern Con-
ference Of Human Welfare. In addi-
tion, Whitney "put a couple of peo-
pie on the payroll who were not
members of the Brotherhood and
were not suitable" Bassett declar-

Housing Hearings
Can't Hide Need
For T-E-W Bill

Cleveland (LPA) = Sen. Joseph
Mccarthy (R., Wis., and his spec
ial committee now holding hear
ings on the housing shortage in
various cities in the eastern half
of the United States, had his ears
pinned back a couple of times dur
mig the first week "on the road"
In Pittsburgh, the first stop, Nc
Carthy tried to limit each witness
to 10 minutes, including time for
questions. When City Solicitor Ann
Alpern tried to complete her state
ment favoring the Taft-Ellender-
Wagner bill, Mccarthy interrupted
he so frequently that she ran over
her allotted time. When she insisted
on finishing, Mccarthy threatened
to have her evicted by a. guard.
Every montreal estate witness, in
cluding Mayor David Lawrence,
AFL, CIO, Catholic and Protestant
officials, supported the city's pub
lie housing program. In opposition
were the local spokesman for the
home. builders, mortgage bankers,
and real estate interests.
In Cleveland, Mccarthy was more
on the defensive, and was quick to
admit that some public assistance
to local communities would be
needed to provide decent housing
for low-income families. Here
again, labor and civic groups pre-
sented united front in support of
the Taft -Ellender- Wagner bill.

Of the total amount needed has al

Of going over the top are excellent.
Our last meeting of the local
was one Of the finest we have had
for long time but the attendance
was not up to par. Pres. Joe Robin
son handled the gavel in orderly
fashion and all business was taken
care Of in record time. We are

a secret nature will be offered

be saddened to learn of their pass
iIg here in Wheeling. Mr.. Frabel,
a caster, died a few weeks ago and
Brother Wagner, also a caster by
trade, was called this past week.
Both men had a host of friends

San Francisco.-DelegateS to the
AFL convention approved unani-
mously resolutions designed to
place the American Federation of
Labor on record in favor of action
to assist the less fortunate peoples
of the world who have suffered
the ravages and misery of war.
The convention voted to reaffirm
the AFL's position over the plight
of Europe's displaced persons when
it voted to endorse the Stratton
Bill under which measure 100000
Europeans would be permitted en-
try into this country over 4-year
period. The convention declaration
on this matter said:
"The bill in no way modifies,
changes or alters the existing i'm
migration quota laws. 1t just calls
for the humane act of admitting
100000 displaced persons during
the 4-year period. This is less
than half the number of persons
who could have legally entered our
ports, but did not do so because of
the war.
"The American Federation of
Labor is always concerned about
