The contracts were between To-
Gals of the CLIO United Shoe Work
ers of America and nine shoe
companies affiliated with the Chi
cago Shoe Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
Unique in one of the first major
agreements since passage of the
anti-labor act was the clause by
passing a section of the act pro-
viding for suits in case of strike
action. The Shoe union agreed to
a no-strike clause. Employers
agreed to post $4,000 bond each
to guarantee their pledge not to
sue the union under the no-strike,
breach-of- sections of the
new act.
ALMOST all unions have al
ready agreed to remove mo
strike" clauses in all future con-
tracts because Of the dangerous
penalties and treacherous loop
holes contained in that section of
the Taft-Hartley Act.
The Chicago Shoe Workers
agreement is believed to have set
a precedent in the field of labor
management contractual relations
under the act.
Other clauses in the new con-
tracts, according to national Vice
President Julius Crane of the USW
include the following benefits.
EIGHTY CENTS per hour mini
mum pay after four months work.
WELFARE FUND Of two cents
per employee per hour, providing
disqualification of union members
and their families; $1,000 group
insurance, sick benefits of SIS

VACATION programs provid-
ing one week paid vacation for
employees of one years seniority
and two weeks for those with five
years or more.
The vacation provisions include
guarantees that an employee who
works 40 weeks in a year will get
so hours pay at average hourly
earnings and those who have

the view of influencing the cleo

In urging greater independent

that, "the enactment of the Taft

bent on destroying the rights Of
labor, is ignoring the real needs
of the people and is moving
toward unemployment and an

ANALYzES LIVESTOCK
VALUES, NEAR MARKET

Grass is one of Montana's abun-
dant natural that is being
converted into cash each year through
the growth and sale of livestock and
is destined for greater development
in future as marketing facilities are
developed, said Clyde Howard,
branch manager of Central Live
stock association at Billings, in an
address here Tuesday before the
Rotary club.
Cattle and sheep are basics in
Montana, with hogs as a f|luctuating
companion. When ranchers switch
from cattle to sheep, the cattle de-
crease in number and the sheep in
crease. When the change is in the
other direction the same ratios fol-
low. The nations number of cattle
increased from 1889 to 1914 and has
since been tapering off slightly.
Montana began increasing in 1888
and is still going up, having reached
100000 head in '46. With cattle
the state has not followed the ma
TONS trend, but it has in regard to
sheep and hogs. Hogs went to a
peak, 445,000 in IA and have since
slipped to 214,000 head. The break
here as elsewhere is attributed to
price controls of meat and feed;
many growers went out of the hog
business. 1t was the same with
sheep in the nation and in Montana.
The number of head here went to g.
100000 in '42 has since declined to
2,490,000. AS sheep and hogs fell
off the number of cattle gained.
Decentralization has been work
ing in livestock selling and buying
as we'll as in other industries, How
ard said. There was a time when
Chicago was the only important
market for Montana stock. Since
then marketing centers have been
established at st. Paul, Sioux City,
Omaha and Denver. To the west
there are Spokane, Seattle and Port
land. Off to the southwest are
San Franisco and Los Angeles.
Since Montana's first livestock
market was established at Billings
in 1884 and a terminal market in
1910 the eastern packers have set
up buying headquarters in Billings.
accompanied by a government re-
port service and federal inspection
system. Billings also has the only
sheep market between Fargo and
Spokane. Howard emphasized the
Importance of buying centers being
close to sources of production and
urged that herds and bands small
in numbers be established on farms
as a continuous program for cash
to farmers who utilize the
feeds produced OF their places and
large amount feed available
growing sugar beets.
Montana and Wyoming cattle to
number of 1928 were handled
at Billings last year. Of this
168,48O were from Montana
and 1878 from Wyoming. Out of
sales were: Chicago, 27,135;

For Negro Migrants

CHICAGO, Nov. 10. (ANP)-
That Chicago as a mecca for
Negro migrants is a snare and a
delusion," as a result of racial
restrictions supported by the
courts and violence-bent mobs, was
the way in which Joseph Semper
described the housing plight of
Chicago's Negro families in testi-
mony before the joint congress
sional committee last week in a
U. S. district court room.
Semper, a former report anal
yst for the Office of the Housing

worded testimony in behalf of the
Chicago branch of the NAACP, Of
whose housing committee he is a
member. He reiterate dthe Chi
cago branch support of the Taft

ing legislation, including it's pub
lie housing provisions, but called
for amendments to protect the
rights of Negroes to enjoy fed
orally financed or influenced
housing.
The witness pointed out that
employment and educational op-
portunities in the city cause Ne
groes to "aspire for real homes
in decent neighborhoods" which
are then denied to them. He re-

Published by DR.. Carter G..

in Mr.. T~rotter's career and CLASH

Trotter "defied President Will

Word has been received from
James Mosely, formerly employed
at Wright Field, who has been at
tending the University Of Stock
holm in Sweden, since last Feb
ruary.
Mr.. Mosely has passed on some
interesting comments and impress
sions of his nine months in north
ern Europe. The thing that has inn
pressed him the most is the hos
tile attitude Of the Swedish peo-
pie against any suggestion of a
mass influx of laborers (who are
urgently needed) from countries
whose racial stock is non-nordic.
They whole-heartedly welcome a

other racial groups, concluding,
no doubt, that with only a few

racial purity will not be seriously
tainted by the blood Of "lesser"

Ban On Negroes

COLUMBIA, b., Nov. Is. CA
NP)-In protest against the ex-

membership in the intercollegiate
United Nations assembly, which
closed it's sessions here last week,
the Missouri delegation voted to
form it's own state UN group
which would include Negro
schools.
The new organization, which
Immediately secured support from
10 schools, proposes to enlighten
students on world affairs. Named
temporary head of the group was
Walter Reed, University of Mis-

will act as chairman of the assem-
bly's council, which is to be made
up of representatives from the
various schools.
The first official meeting of the

shortly after Christmas. To sup
port it's proposal to include Negro
students, who were unable to at
tend the sessions, Harry Mayo OF

that the body send a copy of the

that the next meeting be held
