The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-11-29

" HERE was nothing spec
tacular on the docket the
day I visited the Juvenile
Court, but / came away wish
ing that angels instead of Judge
Bicek could sit on his bench.
For instance, there was a
nice-looking 13-year-old boy
who'd done some experimental
ton with sex. What he'd done
was too nasty to print, and yet
it was only an exaggeration or
perhaps an acting out of things
thousands of thirteen-year-old
boys talk about in our school
yards every day.
The Judge fixed his black,
scary eye on the boy and said
sharply, We'll, why did you
do it? What have you got to
say?"
IHE BOY was struck oump.
His trembling mother chung to
his arm. "Well?" insisted the
Judge.
Finally he turned to the

father made $40 a week. He
found out that the mother

The tables were turned, however
and Du Bots and his hackers found
themselves under attack time and
time again, while the CHA received
strong support from many quar-
tiers.
ROBERT r. Taylor, CHA chair
man, took the offensive by charg-
ing that the attacks on the au-

The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-11-29

This week their three top local
officers-Pat Amato, Irving Krane
and Lee Lundgren = were given
sentences of 80 days in the County
Jail.
Twenty-three other union MEM
bers were also declared guilty of
contempt Of court but were given
suspended sentences.
FOR MORE than three weeks
the workers at Cory have been
on strike.
It's been a bitter strike.
The company has used scabs and
strike-breakers, injunctions and
court orders, and now, Jail SEN
fences, in order to try to break
the strike and crush the union
in the plant.
All this shas been done within
the structure of the infamous Taft
Hartley 1aw-to set an example for
other Chicago companies to fol-
low.
THE management of the Cory
Corp" Irving Krane, business
manager of local 1850 declared,
would never have dared to re-
sort to union-smashing tactics,
after six years of peaceful collec-
tive bargaining, if it had not been
encouraged to do so by the ex-
istence of the Taft-Hartley law.
'Under the Wagner Act and
the Roosevelt Administration, the
company would have been forced
to negotiate with the union," he
continued, "but today, the Law
stimulates and gives rise to the
anti-labor actions of the manage
ment Of the Cory plant"
FRIDAY morning, Nov. 81, some
1900 CIC members from shops
and factories throughout Chicago,
paraded outside the Cory plant
at 210O S. Marshall blvd, in
demonstration sponsored by the
Joint Labor Committee to Fight
the Taft-Hartley Law.
They succeeded IN letting the
company owners, the scabs and
trike-breakers, and the public
know that all the workers of Chi
cago were solidly against the at
tempts of Cory to smash the un-
ion with Taft-Hartley.
EVIDENCE of the Taft-Hartley
attack against the union was pro-
duced in court, following the ar
rest OF Amato, Krane and 100
other demonstrators, when STAN
ford Clinton, company attorney
asked the court for stiff fines and
Jail sentences against the union
and its leaders.
Equally as interesting was the
obvious prejudice against the I'M
ion of Judge Robert E. Grove of
Superior Court as he heard the
case of 26 UE people on charges
of contempt of court.
From the very beginning of the
dispute between local 1850 and
Cory, Judge Grove indicated his
willingness to throw the weight
of the law against the union.
ONLY two days after the start
of the strike, Grove issued an
injunction, at the request Of the
company, limiting picketing to 10.
Later, he further limited pickets
to four, although the company had
requested that he forbid picketing
altogether.
Then, as the company owners
complained that the union had
violated this injunction by holding
the mass parade and demonstra-
ton against the Taft-Hartley law
in front of the plant, the judge
completely forgot himself and is

Hope Seen In
Pure Oil Case

Hope was expressed BY
members of the Toledo LMC
that the caes of the Pure Oil
Co. and Local 346, Oil Work
ers Union-CIO could be set
tied following two days of con
versations last week between
company officials and the LMC.
The discussion of the settle,
ment of the nine months strike
of the Pure Oil employees which
began on Friday and continued
throughout Saturday of last week
came about as L. S. Wescoat,
Pure Oil president and j. Porter
Langfitt, vice president in charge
of refining met with the LMC
according to their agreement.
Participating in the discussion
for the LMC in which the union
did not take part were five labor,
five public and seven industrial
members of LMC. Labor mem
bers were in contact with the Oil
Workers under Clyde Shamblen
during Friday noon to discuss
several points of dispute in the
contract.

Union officials were quick
to point out that the new
budget-drawn up partly on the
basis of what families bought
partly on figures which do not
entirely meet either qualifica-
tions - could not be compared
with wage figures unless COM

what the same size family group
received in income over the
identical period of time. There
is now no way of relating
changes in take-home pay with
changes in the costs of the
budget.
