Six Chicago Papers
Find Taft-hartley
Law Inconvenient

Chicago (LPA)-A deadlock in
negotiations for a contract renewal
between the Intl Typographical
Union-AFL and the Chicago News
paper Publishers Assn resulted last
week in slowdowns for most of Chi
cago's six daily papers.
The wage scale committee of
TITUS Local 16, representing 1900
printers, presented a list of "con-
ditions of employment" to the pub
fishers under which union members
would agree to work for one year
without a contract. The publishers
have demanded one-year contract
made within the terms of the Taft
Hartley law. On October 28, when
the slowdowns had been in effect
for five days, the Chicago publish
ers sent a telegram to ITU Presi-
dent Woodruff Randolph threaten
ing recourse to the Natl Labor Re-
lations Board "if normal production
is not restored Immediately"
In a statement posted in the
newspapers composing rooms, To-
cal President John Pilch made the
charge that: "The publishers are
deliberately batting our members
with the ultimate intent of using
non-union members to take our
places unless we accede without
variation to their analysis of the
Taft Hartley Act"
A representative Of the publish
ers' association said the union
committee had refused to consider
any contract proposal limiting the
closed-shop guarantee. Newspapers
affected are: The Chicago Sun, The
Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Jour
nal of Commerce, The Daily Times,
The Chicago Daily News and The
Herald & American.

CONSUMERS LEAGUE HEAD FIGHTS
TO MAINTAIN LABOR STANDARDS

Washington (LPA)-Miss Eliza
beth S. Magee is a comfortable
looking, grey-haired lady who looks
like that aunt of yours who bakes
the best apple pie you've ever
eaten.
Maybe she does. But more inn
portant than that, she's a woman
to whom the American labor move
ment owes a real debt. Along with
former Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins, Miss Magee was singled
out for mention as one of the
strongest supporters of the Fair
Labor Standards Act when former
Wages & Hours Administrator
Philip Fleming outlined the history
of the law before a House sub
committee last week.
In addition, she pioneered in
1882 and 1888 as director of the
Ohio Commission on Unemploy-
ment Insurance, appointed by the
governor of that state, in develop
ing a program to end the terrors of
joblessness for industrial workers.
The Ohio experience was drawn
on heavily when the federal Social
Security Act was debated and pass
ed five years later in 1888.
When you talk with Miss Magee,
it's pretty hard to find out much
about her-instead, you find your
self enveloped in her overwhelm-
ing, energeic interest in the cause
of fair labor standards, which
means, to her, eliminating child la
Dor, getting adequate wages and
humane working conditions, and
erecting bulwarks against exploita-
tion of women workers.
The Natl Consumers League
for Fair Labor Standards, which
she has served as general secretary
since 1943, got its start in the eff
forts to end exploitation of work
ers by such pioneering women as
Mrs. Florence Kelley, secretary of
the NCL from 1899 to 1882, Joseph
Inc Roche, first coal mine opera
tor to meet the health and welfare
demands of the United Mine Work
ers, and DIR. Alice Hamilton, who
this year received the Lasker
Award of the Natl Public Health
Association for her fight to estab-
lish and enforce health and safe
ty standards for American indus
try.
Never "mass" movement, the
NCL now has about 10000 mem
bers, in addition to semi-autono-
nous state organizations. In New
Jersey, the Consumers League has
been instrumental in obtaining inn
provements in the worllmen's com
pensation law; Michigan Consum-
ers' League members worked ac-
lively for an improved child labor
law i'm the state legislature; in Mas
sachusetts and Ohio they fought de-
fensive battles to prevent watering
down of labor laws in the legisla-
lures; in New York, the League
has led the fight for state enforce
ment of laws protecting children
of migrant agricultural workers.
Miss Magee came to the Ohio
Consumers League after IA years
spent as a school teacher, in AL
toona, Pa, and as an Industrial
secretary of the Y. w. c. A. in
Denver, Detroit, and with the Natl
Board Of the Y. w. c. A. in New
York.

came into close contact with i'm

Convention Urged Friends Support.
Oppose Irrespective Porfy Enemies

San Francisco-Delegates to the
AFL convention heard strong plea
for reaffirmation Of the Gompers
policy of supporting or opposing
political candidates on the basis of
their attitude toward labor ire
spective of their party affiliation.
Harry Stevenson, president of the
Moulders and Foundry Workers
Union of North America, in an ad-
dress to the convention, urged every
AFL international officer "to go
back to the local unions and see
that they take part" in an active
campaign to get out the vote and
to pick candidates on the basis of
their friendliness toward labor's
cause. He related the experience of
Local 146 of the Moulders' Union
in San Francisco.
81 find that our local union right
here in San Francisco, Lacol l46,.
some time ago appointed a special
committee to interview all of the
members to make sure that they
were registered. They came across
some who had not voted for eight
or nine years, but l am happy to
say that through the work of the
local union here, every member of
Local 146 is registered 100 per-
cent"
Mr.. Stevenson called upon the
delegates to forget whether 1--WE
are Republicans or Democrats" and
unite their efforts in the campaign
to fight the aft-Hartley law. He
related an experience he had in
connection with the political cam
paign in eastern Pennsylvania. He
said:
81 was down in the eastern Penn
sylvania district just two weeks be-
fore the election in the eighth dis
trict, where they reported so much
about defeating the Democratic
candidate in that district.
"While l was there, l found that
a letter had been given out to the
workers in different factories sign
ed by the Bucks County Republi-
can Committee of Doyleston, Pa:
Mr.. Harry A. Clayton, chairman;
Mrs. Clarence j. Buckman, vice
chairman; and they gave out this
letter, which states that 85 per
cent of labor does not know what
is in the Taft-Hartley bill.
"Then they handed out this long
letter that they gave to the work
ers. They sneaked into the shop at
noon time, because / know in the
particular foundry | got this in,
the company had no knowledge it
was given out. Some of the things
that are said in this letter are as
follows:
'To the Workers: You can't be
fired by your union under the Taft
Hartley Act so long as you pay
your initiation fee, pay your dues"
"Listen to this: The union can't
have you laid off because they don't
like your race or your religion"
"That is put out by the Republi-
can Party. Then they say again:
When you join a movement to
smash the Taft-Hartley Act before
it has had fair trial and to steer /
the government out of trying to !
enforce it, you are putting another ]
mans handouts on your wrist
"That is the propaganda that is
being put out by the Republican
Party"

YOUR DOLLAR
Portable Clothes Washers

The drawbacks of portable wash
ers are many, their advantages few,
Gu found in testing five models.
For the single girl whose washing
needs are limited, a portable wash
er may be a good buy; for the
apartment dweller with no room
for full size washer, a portable
may be better than no machine at
all. But only one of those tested
got clothes as clean as an accept
able full size machine land this
at the expense of excessive ware
and tear); none could wash more
than two pounds of clothes at a
time; all but one had to be lifted
to be emptied; and only one was
adequately rust-proofed.
The three washers found "Ac-
ceptable" by Gu were: Handyhot
Model I-XL-O5, Type XLUDO5A,
$29.95; Sterling Cat. No.-2260L,
$28.95; and Electromite Model d,
$33.75.

The PilOtuner

The Pilotuner, first reasonably
priced FM receiving instrument
on the market has been rated "Ac-
ceptable" by Consumers Union af-
ter laboratory tests. The Pilotuner,
which costs $29.95, makes it pos
sible to get FM reception through
your present standard AM radio
set. 1t can be attached by the own
er, or by a radio repairman at
small cost. The Pilotuner will give
good FIN reception with most STAN
dard consol sets, but not with all,
even if you are in the reception
area of an FM station. The only
way you can tell whether the Pi-
lotuner will give you good recep-
tion with your radio and in your
locality is actually to try it. Gu
suggests therefore, that you buy
it with money-back guarantee.
Gu reports that other low-priced
FM tuners and receivers will soon
be on the market, some of them
probably ut lower price than the
Pilotuner. Consumers Union will
test and report on these as they
appear.

Rise OF Fire Loss

The National Board of Fire Underwriters
recently analysed the causes of the dis
graceful and mcnacing increase in fire
loss in the United States-a loss that came
near the $600000,000 figure last wear. The
following principal reasons were cited:
L. The Increased value Of property. mcr-
chandise and large inventories.
?. The use Of substandard housing.
3. OvcrcroWding Of buildings, with a
resulting strain on electrical circuits and
heating plants already in disrepair be-
cause Of wartime shortages.
4. A tendency to build factories and
other high-VaIue properties in outlying
areas where water supply for fire fighting
purposes may be inadequate.
. Shortage of fire department equip
ment.
e. A great increase in carelessness at
the end of the war.
Most of the causes of fire are correct
able. Substandard housing must be pre-
vented by local building and safety ordin-
ances Communities will soon be able to
obtain needed fire equipment. Adequate
repair and maintenance of electrical and
heating facilities can be obtained now. The
last cause, human carelessness, is probably
the most lmportant-and it is likewise the
most indefensible. So long as we take
chances with this great destroyer, lives
and property will continue to be needless
ly sacrificed. That is the message which
must be brought home to all the American
people.
