You know Ollie?" Norway

OLLIE'S pleasure at his friends

by an unrestrained shout. After
clasping the giant around the

heaping a plate with stew and
spatzels. His good humor was in

antics and soon the long wooden
room was vibrating with their
good-natured gibes. 1t was as
though the sight of Norway,
enormous and complacent. was
all the measurement they needed.
Surely nothing too bad could
happen in the outfit as long as
Norway was around.
Doug watched the big man
consume a startling amount OF
food then nodded to him. Norway
took his empty plate into the
kitchen. "You do the dishes your

Doug followed him through
the camp to the woods. A trail
led from there and soon forked.

The defeat was a heart breaker
for the Key Westers who took
20 lead in the early innings.
Dewitt (Buster) Roberts pitched
his heart out but the nine-inn-
ing grind was longer than he is
accustomed to and may have
been cause of his weakening
in the final frame.
At the end of the customary
seven-inning stretch the score
was %. Pan American tied the
score on a ground rule, according
to word reaching The Citizen
from spectators. when an over
throw to Catcher Esmond Albury
hit the backstop. Under tourna-

allowed if a throw hits the back
stop and a man was allowed to
score from second.

NEW YORK-Aug. l6--The
Brooklyn Dodgers continued their
staunch defense of their National

at Philadelphia. The st. Louis
Cards thus failed to narrow the
Dodgers four-and-one-half game
margin despite IA nocturnal
conquest of the Pittsburgh Pr
stes.
Bob Edwards homer with the
bases full in the ninth inning
was merely an anticlimax to the
Brooklyn victory as Ray Hatten
had the Phillies well-shackled by
that time, scattering nine hits
effectively. Schoolboy Rowe was
the victim of the Dodger 14-hit
attack.
Del Rice homered for the
Cards in the fourth to spark the
offensive against the Pirates. Ray
Munger allowed 10 hits and need
ed help from Reliefer Wicks but
the Cards combined three pitch
ers for 10 bingles.
The New York Yankees took
care OF the second-place Boston
Red Sox by beating them, 10 to
9. in a night game at Yankee
Stadium to maintain their liz
League lead. Each team col

connected for a home run in the
third for the Yanks. The Red
Sox used four pitchers and the
Yanks three.
The Detroit Tigers climbed to
two games from second place
with 90 win over the Chicago
White Sox in a night game. Vir-
gil Trucks allowed but six hits.
Bob Coleman shut out the

Trumon Charges
Food Gambling
Boosts Costs

Westinghouse LPA)- President
Truman last week charged that
much of the increase in food prices
was attributable to gambling on
commodity exchanges, particularly
ingram and fibers.
Truman said that the wheat crop
had been traded eight or nine time
on the Chicago Board of Trade
alone. Asked by reporters whether
some high prices are not being
caused by government purchases
for overseas relief, the President
said that while these purchases had
some effect it has not been con-
siderable. Atty. Gen. Clark, he said,
is investigating gambling on the
commodity exchanges.
There is still a possibility that
he might call a special session of
Congress to accelerate aid to stric-
ken Europe, Truman said, but add
ed that no decision has been made.

The increase in AFL income per
year from the greater per capita
tax was estimated at 81 100000 by
George Meany, secretary-treasu
of the AFL.
No figure can be set for the
amount of the increase resulting
under the liberalized assessment
procedure since there is an emer-
gency situation requiring no assess
ment and the amount needed to
meet the specific condition.
The per capita tax boost was orig
inally recommended by the Execu-
tive Council, which set forth no
specific purpose for the use Of the
fuhds. 1t is expected, however, that
part of the money will be utilized
to expand the public relations pro-

by the Committee on Constitution
and unanimously adopted by the
delegates present, amends the sec
tion of the Constitution covering
Membership and Dues to read as
follows:
Section THE revenue of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor
shall be derived from local unions
who shall pay $500 as an affilia-
tion fee, and per capita tax of
four cents per member per month
to be paid quarterly and from Cen
trail Labor Unions which shall pay
$1,000 per year to be paid quart
erly. The affiliation fee and the
per capita tax shall include the
subscription price of the official
publication of the Federation. Affi-
liation fees and per capita tax Of
local unions may be paid through
their state or district organizations.
Several resolutions offered urged
repeal of the Taft Hartley law.
Others urged repeal of Ohio's Fer
guson act, applying to strikes of
public employees.
Many of the approved resolu-
tions dealt with pay, working con-
ditions and organizational rights
of post office employees.
A medical plan was urged "that
will cover the medical care of all
the family, from childhood con-
tinuously until DEATH"
The delegates indorsed adoption
of a Federal anti-lynching law, and
"a state veterans bonus.

Local Unions and Central Bodies
affiliated with the Ohio State Fed

The convention was hailed as an

The convention was called to

who then introduced Jack Hurst,
President of the Cincinnati Labor

The first session was opened by
an Invocation by Rev. Francis

AVCBdcks Food Drive: Asks
Restoration Of Controls

Washington, D. C. - (ILNS) -
Chat Paterson, national chairman
of the American Veterans Commit
tee (AVC), pledged full support
of the World War II veterans or
ganization to the drive to eliminate
food waste and to the Presidential
food saving committee under the
Craftsmanship of Charles Luckman.
Paterson said that AVG chapters
were being called on to take the
lead in setting up community food
saving drives to reinforce the ma
tional effort.
Can't Escape Sacrifices
"The community food saving
drives will be devoted to the elimi-
nation of food wastage by CONNER
cial establishments and housewives
and will urge less consumption of
important grain-using luxury pro-
ducts such as pastries and alco-
holic beverages" he said.
America cannot afford Marie
Antoinette attitude about starving
people in other portions Of the
world" Paterson declared. "We
cannot escape making our share of
effort and sacrifices. Hungry peo-
Pile are suckers for totalitarianism.
If we would see democracy thrive
we must exert self-control and COM
mon sense"
Paterson made it clear that while
the AVG was giving complete
backing to voluntary food saving
plans, the veterans group regard
ed Reinstatement of the Second
War Powers Act and a vigorous
campaign by decent groups in ag-
riculture, labor and industry to
expose profiteering wherever it ex-
lists" as a necessary approach to
the problem of high prices and
adequate distribution.
Though we oppose wartime con-
trolls in peacetime, the economic
impact of the war is still with u.s."
he said. "The restoration of the
Second War Powers Act would
give this country chance to hus-
band supplies of scarce commodi-
ties and channel them where they
will do the world and us the most
good"

one or more members of the steam
ship associations who are parties
to the contract. This is, in effect,
a closed shop contract, although
the accent is on former employ
ment with the employer rather than
membership in the union. However,
since all employees involved are
union members, employment is vir-
tually closed to nonunion members.
This is also the first closed shop
contract signed after Aug. 22, the
date on which the Taft Hartley law
became effective. Harry Lundeberg
stated, in. an exclusive interview
with a representative of Interna-
tional Labor News Service, that he
had refused to take advantage of
the cover provided by the law it.
self to make a closed shop con-
tract before Aug. %, which would
be legal for one year. He said he
wanted his contract to stand up
indefinitely.
Sees Lesson in Victory -. -.
Rather than give up the right to
the closed shop and the union hir-
ing hall, Lundeberg said he would
strike the entire West Coast and
rather than wait for Congress to
correct the economic mistakes made
in the Taft Hartley law, he would
fight the issue out on the economic
plane. His victory, he felt, was
proof that labor and management
would do better to work together
for the solution of economic prob
lens than to have politicians at
tempt to regulate industry.

Union spokesman state that the
postal service is having difficulty
to meet the personal requirements
as mail volume increases. Substi-
tute employees, paid on an hourly
basis with no premium for overtime
work, have their earnings cut con-
siderably when appointed to regu-
lar jobs. With 5 percent deduc-
ton for retirement, the take-home
pay of the post office employe is
considered inadequate to encourage
young men to enter this vital gov
ernment agency.
Chicago Local No. / will be host
to the November conference. Dele

organization also heads the Govern
