Reuther Pursues UAW
Pension Plan For GM

Detroit - LPA) = President
Walter Reuther, of the United Auto
Workers has asked General Motors
to reopen the contract signed last
spring to discuss Incorporation of
a social security and old-age pen
sion plan.
In a letter to the company, which
employs 250,000 workers, Reuther
said, "At the time of our March
negotiations, corporation spokes-
men stated that this Ca pension
plan) was a new and complicated
subject, and that the parties were
hot equipped to deal with it intel,
ligently without careful prepara-
tion." The UAW chief proposed
the formation of a joint commit
zee to undertake a careful stuny
of the project.
Meanwhile, Ford UAW members
were voting on two proposals: a
pension plan plus 7c hourly in
crease, or 11hc across-the-board
increase plus a 31zc per hour fund
for paid holidays. Voting must be
completed by Sept. 30. Under the
plan Ford workers would pay
2H% of their wages up to $4,000
a year and So of all wages in
excess of $4,000. Cost to the COM
pany was estimated at $12,772,000
annually.

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

Supplies of salmon will be re-
latively better than they were in
1916, but prices are still high,
with the Chinook selling between
SO and SO cents for a 16 OF. can,
and the red Alaska salmon selling
at about 40 cents.
One of the factors which served
to deplete the salmon supply was
the recent sinking of the S. S. Dia-
mond Knot with a cargo of 154, 900
cases of red Alaska Salmon. The
ship was enroute to this country
from Alaska, which furnishes 80
per cent of the salmon used here.
Chinook salmon, because of its
oily flesh is especially good for
salads. It's color varies from deep
red to white. Chum, the cheaper
brand of salmon, a light pink color
and flaky texture is best for cream
ed dishes or salmon loaf. Salmon
is good source of iodine and Wit.
d. and provides the same high
quality protein found in meat. But
because it is less expensive than
meat it should be utilized freely.
An attractive salmon loaf which
will take the place of both salad
and sandwiches for a luncheon is
made by squaring an unsliced loaf
of sandwich bread, cutting in inch
slice lengthwise from the top, and
following out the center, leaving
the side walls and bottom at least
half inch thick.
With a 16 OF. can of flaked sal
mon mix u cup chopped celery, /
tblspn. lemon juice, 2 chopped hard
cooked eggs, l tblspn. chopped
green pepper, 2-3 cup mayonaise,
dash of salt. Fill the cavity in the
bread loaf with the mixture, re-
place the slice on top and ice the
whole loaf with pkg. of cream
cheese which has been worked to
a spreading consistency with
cream. Garnish the top with sliced
hard cooked eggs, sliced olives and
parsley.

Two Court Suits Hit
Telephone Services.

New York-(LPA)-Labor law.
yers declared here this week that
if two suits filed against the New
York Telephone Co., because of in
terrupted service during the ma
tionwide telephone strike last
spring are successful, a crucial la
Dor precedent will be established
The suit, brought on behalf of
two dial phone subscribers and all
other dial customers in New York,
is for refund Of charges paid dur
ing the long-drawn out strike OF
the Natl Federation of Telephone
Workers, now the Communications
Workers of America -unaffiliated.
In Washington, CWA Secretary
treasurer Carlton Werkau pointed
out that during the strike the
NFTW recommended to the gener-
al public that it refuse to pay for
the inadequate service frequently
provided by the Bell system dur
ing the walkout. Long distance calls
were impossible from New York
and other cities during some per-
iods of the strike.
Noting that the telephone COM
pany will attempt to have the suits
dismissed, attorneys for the two
subscribers commented, Needless
to say, it is matter that involves
so much to the consumers and to
the Bell System that only the high
est court in New York can finally
settle the matter"
