Clothing Workers
Demand 15c Hourly
Raise For 10000

New York UPA)-The Anal
gamated Clothing Workers last
week served formal demands on
the Clothing Manufacturers Assn
of the U. S. for 15c-an-hour wage
increase, a second weeks paid va
cation and election day as an addi-
tional paid holiday. The demands
were made on behalf of 100000
clothing workers.
The constant rise in living costs
compels the wage increase, ACW
President Jacob Potofsky told the
employers. Although the ACW OBJ
tanned a 12Hc raise a year ago,
that increase has been whitfield
away by mounting prices with the
result that 1--WE are worse off than
BEFORE" he said.
Potofsky quoted President Tru-
mans statement that food costs
have risen 40 per cent and that the
overall cost of living rose % per
cent since midyear 1916. He point
ed out that the proposed hike in
wage scales would be substan-
TALLY less than the price rise dur
ing the past year.

MONOPOLY STRANCLES
COUNTRY,S ECONOMY
AFL TRANSFERS SAY

indianapolis (LPA)-The Ameri-
can economy is dominated by a few
hundred corporations that "extort
a monopoly toll every time you buy
an electric light, a pack of ciga-
rettes, bottle of milk, a pound of
meat or almost anything else you
purchase" the Int'l Brotherhood
of Teamsters-AFL declared this
week.
In an editorial published in the
unions monthly magazine, the IBT
charged that thru their monopoly
control the few hundred corpora
tions "exercise an effective veto
power on the law of supply and
demand and charge what they
please. At present they are throw
ing the country into another in
flationary spiral.
"Forty years ago the 200 largest
corporations controlled about one
third of total corporate assets" the
editorial emphasized. To-day these
200 super-giants control more than
GO per cent of all corporate assets.
1.-TWO thirds of the total manu-
featuring facilities of the country
are owned by $50 industrial cor
porations. These same corporations
now control manufacturing facili-
ties equal to those of all corpora
tions before the war. The 63 larg
est manufacturing corporations
have enough cash and other liquid
assets to buy out the 7l,0O0 small
er manufacturing concerns. One
tenth Of one per cent of Ameri-
can corporations own 81 per cent of
total corporate assets.
Unless the power of the monopo-
lies is curbed," the editorial CON
cluded, "the country will be forced
into another period of idle men
and idle machines. Full employ
ment and capacity production re-
quire lower prices and increased
output and capacity. But the mo-
nopolies are opposed to expansion,
since they can make their largest
profits in high price, scarcity

UNION BATTLES PLOT
BY WHOLESALERS To.
STOP GROCERY PLAN

Minneapolis (LPA)-Union mem
bers here will continue to get gro
ceries at a maximum s per cent
markup over wholesale prices--de-
spite efforts of both the Minnea-
polls Retail Grocers Assn and
wholesale houses to prevent it.
Four locals of the United Elec-
trical Workers sought to stem the
initiation spiral by an arrangement
with a large grocer here to sell his
goods at the per cent markup; in
return, they promised him suffi-
cient volume of business to make
that type of mark-up profitable.
The grocer's two-day supply of
merchandise vanished quickly as
union families crowded the store
for bargains. However, when he
sought to replace his stock, he was
told by wholesale dealers that the
grocers' association had threatened
a boycott unless the UE store was
cut off the wholesalers list.
The UE then obtained an injunc-
tion from district court here which
forbade both the wholesalers and
retail grocers to conspire in this
manner. A further hearing on the
will be held later this

CATTLE RAISERS POCKET
20 CENTS OF MEAT DOLLAR

Washington, ID. C.-Cattle grow
ers who raise beef cattle are getting
about 10 cents Of every dollar the
consumer spends now for meat
compared with 81 cents in 1889, ac-
cording to figures released by the
Department Of Agriculture.
The department said, however,
that it had little definite informa-
tion as to how the other 80 cents
was divided among others who
share in the dollar, such as the
commission agents who handle live
stock sales, the packer, the whole
saler and the retailer.

NLRB THROWS UNIONS
Of BALLOT EVEN IF THEY
HAVE THEIR CONTRACT

Washington (LPA) - In it's
strongest attempt to date to bludg-
con non-filing unions into compli-
ance with the Taft Hartley law,
the NLRB last week ruled that a
union which has not filed anti
Communist affidavits may not ap-
pear on the ballot in a collective
bargaining election even though
the union may currently have a
contract with the employer.
How the ruling will work was
illustrated in the case which evok-
ed the decision. For more than
three years the Retail, Wholesale
& Dept Store Workers have rep
resented employees of a New York
jewelry manufacturer. Several
months ago, the Int'l Association
of s-unaffiliated, which
has complied with the anti Com
munist affldavits and union regis
tration requirements, petitioned for
a representation electionn.
The Boards decision means that
the name of the union may not ap-
pear on the ballot and the jewelry
firms employees will vote only
eyes" or "no" on whether they
wish to be represented by the LAM.
A second case involving the Sea-
farer's Intl Union-AFL and the
Natl Maritime Union-CIO was dis
posed of similarly. After the STU,
a complying union, had asked for
Of the Wilson Transit Co.,
a representation election among
operators of Great Lakes cargo
ships, the NMU intervened for a
place on the ballot. The CIO organ
ization was ruled off because it's
officers had not filed the affidavits.
In ihort order the Board dis
missed nearly a dozen other cases
involving the Int'l Typographical
Union-AFL, United Furniture
and Fur & Leather
Workers-CIO.
Still to be decided by the Board
is the question of whether a nom
union may appear on
the ballot in an election request
ed by an employer. A decision may
also be forthcoming on whether
non-complying unions may appear
On decertification election ballots.
This, however, may already have
'een settled by the fact that several
elections have been held in which
lon-complying unions have partici-
,ated. NLRB General Counsel Rob-
,rt Denham is said to be opposed |
o giving even this right to unions
which have not filed the affidavits. |

FIRST TYPOS STRIKE
UNDER TIL REPORTED.

New York (LPA) - The first
strike resulaing from the "no-
contract" policy of the Int'l Typo
graphical Union-AFL was report
ed last week in Wisconsin Rapids,
Wis, while the union continued it's
fight in Chicago, Boston, Dayton
and other cities.
Nine typos struck on the Wis
consin Rapids Tribune because of
the employment of a non-union
foreman. The company was forced
to suspend publication for one day
but resumed the next day with
scab help. The situation was stale
mated in Chicago where daily pap
ers complained that the ITU was
engaged i'm a deliberate showdown
which resulted in the papers reach
ing the streets more than an hour
late.
In Dayton negotiations between
the ITU and three daily papers
We're stymied awaiting arrival of
a federal conciliator. The union
said there would be no strike but
authorized its scale committee to
call a walkout. ITU President
Woodruff Randolph made an en-
trip to Boston where news
papers continued to operate with
out contracts. Meanwhile an NLRB
trial examiner in Baltimore was

tion's first Taft Hartley unfair la

Congress Will Act
On Hollywood Probe

Washington LPA)-The high
ly controversial Hollywood probe
by the House Un-American Activi-
ties Committee will boil over into
the House floor when Congress re-
convenes, it was predicted here
last week.
At issue will be the validity of
10 contempt citations against Hol-
lywood figures who refused to an
swer whether or not they were
Communists. The citations, recon-
mended by a subcommittee, will be
laid before the full House of Rep
resentatives for a record vote, but
it was considered possible that the
committee would not ask for House
action until further hearings are
held.

program-blamed by many insola-
zionist and anti-labor Congress-
men for the price spiral-and "spec-
ulation, prices determined by con-
scious business decisions, and the
unrestrained operations of the law
of supply and Demand" the Coun-
Gil concludes.
Two commodities-food and steel
will be in short supply, and will
be needed urgently both in the u.
S. and in western Europe, the
Council has found. To meet the
problem of holding down prices of
food and steel, at the same time
seeing that they are used strate-
gically to establish world stability,
the Council proposes these general
measures: expert controls, alloca-
tions for domestic use, discourage
ment of misuse or excessive use,
efficient transportation and distri-
button, and the curbing of specula-
tion and boarding Of goods"
Continuing its proposals, the
Council recommends that 'the gen
eral inflationary threat resulting
from the combined impact of for
eign and domestic demand requires
the continuance of tax revenues at
present levels, maximum economy
in government expenditures, stim-
ulation of saving, and the enlarge
ment and aggressive use Of meas
ures to control dangerous expan-
sion of credit"
How these recommendations can
be put into effect will be spelled
out by President Truman in his
message to the reconvened Con-
gress on Nov. II, the Council in
dicates.

WANTS LAW TO
PROTECT ScABS

Chicago (LPA) - Rep. Fred
Hartley (R., N. j. said here last
week that he would not seek any
further anti-labor legislation in the
special session of Congress start
ing Nov. II but that by mid-Jan-
uary his committee would start
hearings on bill aimed specifical-
ly at President James c. Petrillo,
of the American Federation of Mu-
sicians.
Referring to mass picketing of
plants in Michigan and Ohio, Hart
ley said he would also advocate a
"right-to-work" amendment which
would make it IL federal offense to
interfere with strikebreakers or
scabs.
Hartley said he would seek the
Taft Hartley law two days after
anti-Petrillo amendment to the
Sen. Robert Taft (R., Ohio) and
Sen. Joe Ball (R., Minn.) declared
that the law would remain "as is"
until the 194S elections. Announc-
ing that his first witness would be
Cecil b. deMille, Undertaking Hol-
lywood producer, Hartley said that
Petrillo's ban on the making of re-
cordings and transcriptions after
Jan. could be dealt with summar-
lily if unions were subject to the
antitrust laws. He recalled that he
had such a proposal in his original
bill but the plan was killed off i'm
joint House Senate conference.

Carbide Plant Saved

Louisville LPA)-A joint ap-
peal by labor and industry last
week saved 1000 jobs of union
at the Natl Carbide plant
in Louisville, Ky. The Louisville
Central Labor Union and the Ken
lucky State Federation of Labor
joined five other groups to pro-
test closing of the company follow
ing complaints of dust from citi-
zens of the West End. The Carbide
Co., had built a 250-foot smoke
stack to correct the situation. Fol-
lowing the joint resolution, the
Kentucky State Board of Health
investigated and found that mo
hazardous to public health
come from the National Carbide
smokestack.
