Wage Boost. Paid
Holidays Won BY
Textile Workers

Boston (LPA)-President Emil
Rieve Of the Textile Workers IN
ion of America last week announc-
ed that the union had won a wage
increase of &c an hour, five paid
holidays, and improvements in the
vacation and insurance programs
now in effect, as result Of nego-
tiations with cotton manufacturers
in this area.
Affected are 10000 TWUA mem
bers in 80 mills in New Bedford,
Fall River, and nearby communit-
les. The contract takes effect Aug.
1 and runs for one year, with wage
reopening possible on Jan. /, 1948
and allows the union to strike if no
agreement on wages can be reach
ed after that date.
One clause protects the union
from suits under the Taft Hartley
law, except in cases Of strikes in
violation of the contract which are
specifically authorized by the gen
eral president Of the union. The un-
ion shop and checkoff are contin-
ued.
Rieve said that the 10000 work
ers concerned would receive an ad-
ditional 100000 annually in
their pay envelopes. A new min
imum wage Of 88c an hour is set
and plant average earnings are ex-
pected to reach SLOT an hour.
Rieve said that negotiations are
now continuing with other cotton
rayon weaving mills in New Eng
land, New York, New Jersey and
Pema. for contracts to replace
those which will expire on August
l. These mills employ an addition
al 10000 workers. The union ex-
poets that the same pattern will be
followed in these mills.
"The mills can easily pay this
wage increase without raising
prices" Rieve said. "The prices of
cotton and rayon cloth are already
too high. Since May there have
been price boosts for almost every
type of cloth, even though it is
agreed in the market that there is
no real justification for such act
ion. At the same time the rate of
cotton textile profits is almost 50%
greater than the inflated 1916 fig
ure."

Massachusetts
Cities Finance
Veteran Housing

Boston (ILNS). = Forming the
only statewide housing program
of its kind, at least 20 Massachus-
etts cities are helping build perma-
nent dwellings for veterans. Nun
icipal appropriations so far total
an estimated SIS million.
The National Association OF
Housing Officials reports that nc
other state has set going a perma-
nent housing program of similar
scope in which cities put up money
on their own to build and rent
dwellings. The program is aimed
at medium rather than low income
families. The program is going for
ward under Massachusetts housing
statutes enacted last year. The
laws permit cities to sell land for
housing to veterans or corpora
tions, and to construct dwellings
with municipal funds for rental
and ultimate sale to ex-GIs. Il,
So far 8 cities have started to
construct rental housing for vet
Grams. Boston's program is the
largest, involving SO million
bond issue to finance l $50 permen-
ent homes. Cities are allowed to
borrow up to percent of their as
sessed valuations beyond legal debt
limits to finance such projects.
Among other cities using NUM-
cipal funds to build homes are Can
ton, Salem, Concord, Methuen,
Gloucester, Holyoke and Lawrence.
The law provides that these dwell
ings may be held by the city and
rented to veterans for years or
for duration of the housing en-
ergency." Then cities are obliged
to sell these residences as rapidly
as is consistent with sound bus.
mess judgment"
Ten Massachusetts, cities are
selling land to veterans for home
construction. Some of these NUM-
provide veterans the
extra service of home planning and
building supervision. Another city,
Springfield, is selling land i. to a
which plans to build
l 900 permanent homes for veter-
ans.

"The act, in my opinion, contains

Building Materials Coop
Formed By Danish Labor

Copenhagen, Denmark-Discrim-

cartel against housing co-ops led
the Danish workers coop council
to form a coop to handle building
materials and home furnishings.
In the production of cement, one
cooperative is the only independ-

faces. Lime quarries and brick
works are also tied together, many

Last Sunday night the football
team gave a birthday party in
honor of Piggy Gore at Green
field Lake. The weiner roast
had been planned for Saturday
night, but due to the dance. they
postponed it until Sunday. All of
the boys took their dates and
had fine time together.
l received a letter the other
day asking me to say some
thing about the majorettes uni
forms. AS you all know, there
has already been a lot of talk
about them. I believe that if
they had one good looking out
fit instead of three or four, then
they would be more noticeable
above other ones in other cities.
Our majorettes are good and
are nice looking, but they could
be improved by having just one
good looking uniform. This is
my opinion and I do not mean
to conflict with anyones ideas.
Yesterday and today the Glee
club gave their first concert IN
front of the student body at the
school assemblies. Thanks
giving was their theme and
they really sounded fine. Miss
Helen Messick has charge of the
Glee club this year and has
worked hard to bring them to
perfection. This years Glee club
is the largest ever to be at New
Hanover high school. (There
are 102 members). Along with
these there are choir groups,
which are keeping right up with
the club. There are ten to
twelve boys making up the boys
chorus, which is really neat.
Miss Messick has done a great
job so far and I take my hat
off to you.
"Who is the lucky one?" I
know you have all heard this
many times lately around tn e
high school because it's almost
time for the ROTC ball. 1t will
be Saturday night in the high
school gym and the officers
club has charge of decorations.
Bobby Haas and his band will
play for the occasion. Promi-
nent Army personnel will be
present and it is sure to be
great.

Friday night the Wildcats will
battle Petersburg, Virginia. We
have already encountered a
Virginia team this season when
we played Norfolk. This is ex-
pected to be an exciting game;
first because Petersburg has a
good team and second because
it is the last game of this sea-
son. There are hopes for a
Thanksgiving game, but nothing
has been said about it.
Also Friday night is sponsor
night. During the half of the
football game, the ROTC Bat
talon will march onto the foot
ball field and the five ROTC
sponsors will be presented. Mr.
r. T. Hamilton will present
them. Don't forget Friday night
you will have a double feature
and for no extra price.
After the game at the Teen
Age club there will be the week
ly dance. This is expected to be
a big one because it is the last
game. The officers of the Teen
Age club are busy now getting
ready for the big talent show
to be held Friday, November
%, at 8 pm. at the Community
center. The show is under the
direction of Mrs. c. M. Kester.
Preliminary tryouts will be held
tonight and only those trying
out will be allowed to watch.
The first eliminations will be
made by the judges. The judges
are Ed Allard, president of the
club, Beth Maynard, Morley
Schlesinger, Randolyn Grant,
David Smith, Clyde Neal a nd
Jere Lewis. Adult Judges are
Mrs. C. M. Kester, Mrs. Eliza
beth Maye, Miss Atha Josey,
Mrs. Carl Powers and Mr.. Will
liam G. Robertson. Pete Acree
is chairman of the arrange
ments committee and is as
sisted by Dot Hardison and
Bobby Haas. Mrs. Kester stated
that talent included dancing,
singing, instrument playing, pl-
ano playing, limitations, or any
thing else that could be classl-
fled as talent This is expected
to be city-wide program and
the officers are working hard to
make it a big success. Without
you they cannot carry on. Go
to the club and tryout. Who
knows, you might have some
hidden talent that others would
enjoy.
Setting aside all other actlvl-
ties Saturday night, the high
school football team headed for
the high school for an enjoy
able dance, sponsored by the
cheerleaders, in their honor.
The school colors of orange and
black covered the ceiling of the
