Scribe Informs

Trenton, n. News from Local
Union 49 still continues to be a
scarce item in the columns Of the
Herald. Although nothing of SER
ious nature has developed to report
at this time, we wish to inform the
trade we are still doing business at
Castlermina hall on the first and
third Thursday Of every menth.
At the present time we are in
the midst of a boom, admitting
many new members into the fold
while losing a few via transfer to
our brother Local No. As.
The new Conference Committee
elected at our second meeting in
September and composed of Ches-
ter Wisneskie, Leslie Sheck, Charles
Mcclure, Harry Chumar, Michael
Pindar and William Delahanty is
beginning to click under the lead
ership of President Dolan. Cooper
alton from the entire membership
in aiding these brothers carry out
their duties pays off in big divi-
dends.
We were all glad to see our fel-
low member Bro. Walter (Jake)
Blum picked as one of the dele
gates to represent the n. B. of o.
P. at the A. F. of L. convention in
San Francisco. We cannot help but
feel the knowledge and experience
gained through his representation
at the big labor convention will be
passed down the line and instilled
into the ranks of the members of
Local Union 40, enabling US to
carry out progressive measures for
the betterment of all. He will make
his report at our next meeting
and every member should make it
a point to be present.
We read in the Herald where
steps are being taken to open a
cooperative store in East Liver
pool. We wish the brothers all the
success in the world in their new
venture and feel it is the only sure
way to protect the working man
from profiteering and inflated costs

Unions Urged To
Affiliate With
Sfufe Labor Body

Columbus, Ohio Stressing the
need for a solidified Labor Move
ment, Phil Hannah, Secretary
Treasurer of the Ohio State FEEDER
alton of Labor, appealed to all
American Federation of Labor
Unions to affiliate with the state
organization.
Calling attention to the fact that
many A. F. of l.. unions are not
affiliated with the State Federation
of Labor, Secretary Hannah said
that "the lack of participation on
the part of some locals places a
tremendous burden on the State
Federation and affiliated bodies.
"With Labor being attacked on
all sides by legislative restrictions
through State Legislatures and the
National Congress, the future of
the movement depends on a solid
front as a requirement to the de-
velopment and cooperation and
united action in the legislative,
economic and industrial fields"
The recent A. F. of l.. convention
pointed out that the major defen-
sive resources of our movement
must be handled by state organiza-
tions. The A. F. of l.. must depend,
to great extent, upon the state
organizations to carry the burden
of its public relations and legisla-
tive policies.
Hannah said that there has been
an increased interest in affiliation.
There has been a net gain of forty
seven affiliates this year. This does
rot include the 127 United Mine
Workers locals that have re-affili-
ated.

in the face of "high prices at home
and hunger and cold abroad"
"We could choose the course of
inaction," the President said. "We
could wait until depression caught
up with US, until our living stand
ards sank, and our people tramped
the streets looking for jobs. Other
democratic nations would lose hope,
and become easy victims of totali-
tartan aggression. That would be
the course of defeatism anl COW :
ardice.
"Our other course is to take time
ly and fortnight action. If we do
this, we can halt the spiral of in
flation at home, relieve hunger and
cold abroad and help our friendly
neighbors become self-supporting
once again."
Turning to the domestic price sit
uation, Truman reported that he
would ask the Congress to pass
comprehensive legislation "for put
ting an end to excessive prices and
the hardships and dangers which
accompany them."

|HU To Refroin
Fro m Signing
| Anv Contracts S

Baltimore (LPA) - President
Woodruff Randolph, of the Int'l
Typographical Union-AFL, declar-
ed in an interview here last week
that "it will continue to be the pol
icy Of the ITU to refrain from
signing any contracts"
Randolph contended that the
Taft Hartley law will not work and
the proof Of it could be found in the
unfair labor practices charges
brought by NLRB General Counsel
Robert Denham against the Bal
timore ITU local and the national
ITU. For three days Randolph was
in the witness chair while NLRB
and employers attorneys combined
in attempts to prove that the Balti-
more typos refused to sign a new
contract because Of instructions
from ITU national headquarters in
Indianapolis.
The Taft Hartley law, said Ran
dolph, has resulted in attempts to
transfer collective bargaining to
Denham's office and to the new
Mediation & Cancellation Service.
In both of these agencies the at
mosphere is hostile to collective
bargaining.
Employers in commercial print
ing across the country are attempt
ing by every means possible under
the Taft Hartley law to establish
non-union conditions in the indus
try" said Randolph. Permitting
non-union men in organized shops
would eventually result in the "ab-
solute destruction of our union,"
Randolph declared.
The ITU chief admitted on the
witness stand that there had been
a change in strategy since Den
ham filed charges that the Balti-
more local had refused to bargain
in good faith. The local here, said
Randolph, could have entered into

Bases in Greenland

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Feb. 7
(CDN) THUS far it's none of their
business. but U. n. experts on geo.
graphical disputes are quietly watch
ing Greenland.
More precisely, they're awaiting
the outcome Of prospective talks be-
tween Denmark and Norway about
the sovereignty of Greenland.
That ice-capped island of 827 300
square miles between the North At
lantic and the Polar Sea is Den
marks only colony. Norway, under
a treaty of 1924, has restricted
rights to Greenland territory.
The Norwegian government now
seeks clarification Of those privi-
leges granted by Denmark.
This step toward an amicable set
tlement of an old dispute has deeper
implications than appear on the
surface.
The big powers are casting eager
eyes toward Arctic bases. Washing
ton, standing first by virtue of war
time privileges, seeks to negotiate
with Denmark for permanent mill
tary installations in Greenland.
But the Danes, it is apparent,
will not commit themselves until an
understanding has been reached
with Norway.
lis interesting to note that the
Danish government is backing an
expedition into Peary Land, in
northernmost Greenland. Two vet
eran Danish explorers, Ebhe Munich
and Eigel Knuth, will soon leave for
a three-year trip to the area which
Robert Peary once mistook for an
island set apart from the Green
land mainland.
In other words, the Danes are re-
stalking their claim in the Arctic.

Mother Of ; Here Pleads
Need in S675 Gem Theft

The probation Office at Municipal
Court today is studying the case Of
a mother of three children who
pleaded guilty to charges of stealing
a $675 diamond ring because she
needed money to pay rent and fur
niture bills.
Judge Nathan Margold yesterday
deferred sentence to next Thursday
until the probation officer could
make a report to him.
The mother, Mrs. Catherine Irene
Shull, Is, of Baltimore was arrested
Wednesday in a jewelry store in the
TOO block of Seventh street NV.
Policeman James M. Killingbeck
of the first precinct said she entered
the store and asked to see a tray of
rings. When the clerk turned away
for a moment, Mrs. Shull wrapped
a ring in her handkerchief and left
the store, the policeman said. The
clerk followed her, brought her back
to the store and then called the
police, according to Pvt. Killingbeck.
He said the woman admitted the
theft and told him she needed
money since her husband earned
only $50 a week. Her youngest child
is 3 weeks old, the policeman said.
Judge Margold set bond at $500.
