DeodIine Set For
Shop Committees
To List Personnel

The cold spell snapped the spirit
of members of Local Union 124
Tuesday evening, but not to the
extent that there were not enough
members on hand for a quorum.
Margaret Curley presided in the
absence of President Clair Arm
strong who is working on the
night shift, and welded the gavel
in the fashion of a professional
auctioneer, hurrying things along,
but overlooking nothing in the way
of official business to be disposed
of.
A complaint regarding the ap-
prentices in the color room at the
Hall China Co. was discussed and
referred to committee to take
the matter up with the firm.
Shop committees have been noti-
fled to file list of the personnel
of their respective committees with
the Local not later than our next
meeting on Feb. IL. Failure to
comply with this request will re-
suit in new committees being
named and the members duly
bound to serve until June 1st.
1t is now a part of our agree
ment to furnish all firms with the
names of all those serving on shop
committees on their respective
plants. This will tend to expedite
settlement of grievances on the
plants and eliminate work stop
pages when disputes arise.

Strikers Would Loose All Rights
Under Wagner Act, Boil ExpIoins

I employer.
S. $50, which is the number by
which the new Ball bill is known,
amends the Wagner act. Senator
w. Lee O'Daniel did quite the same
thing in his bill which consists of
just one sentence: "The National
Labor Relations Act is hereby re-
pealed."
Ball first would deny the protec-
tion of the Wagner act to work
ers who went on strike and refused
to return to the same or similar
jobs upon an offer from an en-
ployer. The employer, Ball said,
would be free to make such an
offer at any time and if the strik-
ers refuse to return, he could hire
somebody else.
"Then what you mean, Joe, is
that strikers would lose all rights
under the Wagner act?" report
er asked.
"Yes," was Balls reply.
"And that includes any strike Z"

Servicemen Paid
Honor At Party
By Local No. ST

Canonsburg, Pain one of the
most delightful entertainments
ever held in the city of Gun Town
over 400 guests assembled last Sat
urday evening in the ballroom OF
the X. S. X. J. lodge at Canons-
burg, paying honor to the exc. Is
of Local Union 81.
The party which was planned by
the social committee of l.. U. 81 in
conjunction with the management
from the w. S. George and Can
onsburg Pottery, started off with
a dinner that included everything
from soup to nuts, and wound up
with floor show presented by the
Jane Vella School of Dancing that
rivaled any of the late Flo Zieg-
field productions.
SO of the ex-doughboys were on
hand for the event, and together
with their wives, mothers, or
sweethearts, put away their cares
of the day and joined with their
fellow shopmates in celebrating
their return to the land of the
free and the home of the brave.
Adding an official touch to the
party, representatives from ma
tional headquarters, vice presi-
dents James Slaven, Josh Chad
wick, George Turner and t. j.

upon for remarks. The latter of

on the 22nd, at the Moose hall. At
tendance was small because of the
cold weather, but this did not pre-
vent some heated discussions on
division of work, ~apprenticeships.
Universal has installed some tint
ing machines and are placing jour
neynen tinters and apprentices to
operate them.
Bro. James Coffee gave talk
on the Guernsey Memorial Hospit-
al fund drive. He explained at
great length the methods of solici-
tation of funds and how everyone
could do his part by contributing
generously by cash or payroll
deduction.
Universal Potteries will in the
next year, consist of three plants,
as the owners are planning to
erect plant No. 8, adjacent to
plants l and 2 on the old tin mill
site which they purchased some
time ago. In fact, plans are drawn,
finances arranged and building
permits granted for the new addi-
tion.
Due to the rising cost of living
the recent pay boost is greatly ap-
preciated. This is worth noting be-
cause several industries are locat-
ing plants in and around Com
bridge. Our fair city should look
forward to near boom times during
this reconversion period. = o. c.

Hold the HemIine

The new long skirts, now worn
chiefly by fashion leaders, are be-
ing closely watched by stock market
spectators with purely scientific
interest in the falling hemline.
Long skirts, according to re-
searches of some economists, herald
the approach of business depression.
The question is whether the fashion
will spread to the so-called masses.
Mother has enough to do without
being business barometer, and
her decision will probably be die
tated by personal considerations.
Skirts halfway or more down the
calf may be preferred by women
whose calves are no better than they
should be, and rejected by thrifty
souls who plan to recondition one
or two little numbers hanging up
in the attic.
The important question is whether
fashion-conScious teen-agers will
start wearing long skirts. If they
do, the end of an era is in sight.
You cannot wear bobby socks with
a long skirt. 1t is reported in domes-
tic circles that teen-agers in long
skirts, after good look in full
length mirror, have demanded
nylons Immediately.
Far-reaching consequences, both
economic and sociological, would fol-
low the adoption of longer skirts by
teen-agerS. A chain reaction sets
in. Any teen-ager will tell you that
the universal loafers and moccasins
cannot be worn with stockings,
though the reason is unclear. New
and different shoes must be bought.
Stockings call for hats, opening up
an untapped market for the hat in
duStry. Here we have the textile,
shoe and hat industries involved.
Stockings, heretofore worn only
to church and parties, give the wear
er a feeling Of poise and maturity

Cancellation Service

One provision of the House and
the Senate labor bills which deserves
more careful consideration than it
seems to have received is that which
takes the Cancellation Service out
of the Department of Labor and sets
it up as an independent agency.
The reasons for this move are
obscure. One theory seems to be
that since the Department of Labor
is charged with the duty of repre-
senting labor, subordinate agency
of the department cannot function
fairly in a mediatory role. Another
argument is that the present setup
brings the Government into labor
disputes In bipartisan role.
Actually, however, no evidence has
been produced to show that the
Cancellation Service has functioned
either as prolabor or as political
agency. On the contrary, there is
much testimony on the record from
spokesmen for management and
labor that the service as currently
constituted has functioned impair
TALLY and effectively. One of the
few recommendations upon which
the Presidents labor-management
conference of 1946 could agree
called for Reorganization of the
United States Cancellation Service to
the end that it will be established as
an effective and completely impair
tial agency pithin the department"
The reorganization Of the service
within the department has taken
place, its effectiveness is attested by
the settlement of more than $4,000
disputes last year, and there is no
complaint of partiality. So why take
it out of the Labor Department?
Another proposed change which
deserves more scrutiny is the pro-
vision for sixty-day waiting period
before labor contract can be abro-
gated. At best, the usefulness of
this is dubious, and many expert
enced negotiators believe that it
actually makes more difficult the
adjustment of disputes. In any
event, it is a point which should get
more attention during the Senate
Evening star., 1947-04-25

Wednesdays New York Times, which
announced the Senates overwhelming
vote for military and reconstruction aid
to Greece and Turkey, also carried in its
letter column communication from
Miss Sarah Wambaugh of Cambridge,
Mass It contained more horse sense
than we are accustomed to find, and the
best answer have yet read to the
charges that we are "by-passing" the
United Nations.
Miss Wambaugh has been a lifelong
student of international affairs. Few
Americans know European politics more
intimately, and 1T is doubtful whether
any one is more expert in plebiscites
and elections under difficult conditions.
She participated as an expert in most
of the plebiscites held after World
War I. She was logically chosen as
adviser to the chief Of the United
States mission to observe the Greek
elections
Miss Wambaugh points out that our
proposed action is in no sense q viola
ton of the u. N. charter The charter
exists to protect nations from aggres-
sion. Every member of the United
Nations Is under obligation never to
act contrary to the charter, but there
is no requirement In the charter to
act always through the United Nations"
~ X
Miss Wambaugh confirms that Greece
and Turkey are menaced in their ter
ritorial integrity. THE distance across
Greece from the Yugoslav and Alban-
ian frontiers to the Aegean is
only rs to 100 miles. In many parts of
this line the guerrillas are entrenched
and, thanks to the neighbors are =
proceeding with their project of cutting
of Greek Macedonia. Success
would mean that Yugoslavia and Bull
garia would divide the area =
Russia would then be at the Turkish
frontier :"
It is under these conditions that
Greece and Turkey have asked us for
aid. as they have every right under the
u. N. charter to do.
Greece needs to reorganize her army
and disarm all other forces And il
we are hy-passing U. N. in this action,
why did not the opponents of "uni-,
lateral" action-including MIR. Wallace
raise voices Of protest when the Soviet
Union did the same thing?
Miss Wamhaugh recalls that during

Future of the Marines

However unfounded they may be,
the fears outspokenly expressed by
General Vandegrift, Marine Corps
commandant, regarding the fate of
the corps under proposed merger
legislation are shared by most
Marines and by many friends and
champions of that deseryedly ia
nous organization. The fears have
been aggravated by published re-
ports of Army plans for greatly
expanding its activities in the field
OF amphibious operations, an ex-
pansion which, if carried far enough,
could mean ultimate absorption of
the Marine Corps or its relegation to
a "parade-and-police" status.
War Department officials and
other strong advocates of armed
service unification repeatedly have
disavowed any such intent, however.
They have publicly conceded the
advantage of retaining as an arm
OF the Navy such a high-spirited,
specially trained, hard hitting am
phibious outfit as the Marine Corps
has proved to be during it's long and
valiant career. AS George Fielding
Eliot recently pointed out, the esprit
de corps of such an organization is
an important factor in the winning
OF victories. This is valuable asset
that should not lightly be disre-
garded in shaping our fighting ma
chine of the future.
Since Army and Navy officials
have professed to be in full agree
ment on the desirability of pre-
serving the Marine Corps as a real
1ghting force, it is hard to under
stand why there has been such evi-
dent reluctance to write into the
pending merger bill a simple pro-
vision that would eliminate any
doubt as to the intent of Congress
with regard to the Marines. The
same may be said of Naval Aviation,
too. The proposed executive order
making the merger effective con-
tains specific guarantees as to the
integrity of these naval arms. If
these guarantees are to have more
than an aspect of transitory expedi-
ency in the interest of merger har-
mony, they should be Incorporated
into the basic law.

One Way to Help Europeans
To the Editor OF The Star.
In the general hue and cry heard on
all sides about rising prices, permit me
to call to your attention one item the
cost of which still remains the same.
That item is the AWvS food parcel for
sending to the war-torn countries.
Should you not already know about this
service, which the American Women's
Voluntary Services is rendering, let me
briefly describe 1t.
For the sum of $3.50 the AWvS will
pack and mail for you six pounds of
concentrated food to any name you may
designate in any Of the devastated coun-
tries. The food is purchased in whole
sale lots, so that your money buys more
than by individual purchasing, and all
the time consuming details of packing
and mailing are done by skilled volun-
teers. Your money Is used entirely for
food and postage-there is no profit to
any one. The special needs OF each
Should you have no personal friends in
these food-short countries, you may
choose name from certified list, and
your own name sts always included In
the box before wrapping.
Because spring has come, perhaps you
think there is no further need for help
to these stricken people. but due to the
severe winter experienced In Europe,
crops will be late in planting and ma
turing, and 1t will be midsummer before
the critical food situation is even a little
lessened. The letters Of gratitude that
pour In from recipients testify to the
continuing desperate need, and these
letters are the reward for this work.
Your acknowledgment will come directly
to you because your name will be in your
box
The District of Columbia unit Of the

ment of the highest authorities. Lead

A final point, but an important
one, has to do with funds for this
agency. The Cancellation Service
has been doing a good job. But Com
gress now is considering a reduction
in its funds and a complete revamp-
ing OF its organizational structure.
With the prospects for future indus
trial harmony being none too good,
the legislators would be well advised
to look little more carefully before
they take this leap.
