Union Proves Gum Not Too Big !

k SEATTLE (FP) - The ambitions of George Gum, president of the Kir- sten smoking pipe company and na- tional director of the Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers. Nto set wage-busting pattern were spiked here by Lodge 7o, Int. Assn. of Machinists. Wher the union went in for a pay increase some months ago, Gum demanded a cut of 15c to 22c an hour.
 But three-months strike and a na- tionwide boycott put an end to that Gum agreed to pay l21ac an hour more and halt attacks, on job classi- hcations.

Stevedores Sue For Half Million

NEW YORK (LPA)-In an ac- tion to recover over time wages, 5000 workers of the Int'l Longshoremen' Association-AFL brought suit in Fed eral Court last week against 60 steve doring companies for claims amount ing to almost $500,000. Two test cases on similar suits will be up be- fore the U. s. Supreme Court this fall but it has become necessary to file the rank and file claims early because when the amended Fair Labor Stand ards Act goes into effect on Sept. l2, as voted by Congress, unified claims antedating Sept F, 1945, will be worthless.

ent laws do not prevent wild and false claims in advertising.
 Such claims shouted over the ra- diO and plastered all over the magazines should be even more carefully controlled than the small print on a drug package which few people read. The peoples health is more important than the profits of the drug companies.

(Continued from Page One) unsparing, too, in his criticism of what he regards as bad practices and shortcomings of some trade unions and their leaders.
 But, unlike many a critic, he be- lieves genuine uniOn-management cooperation can overcome many Of the faults--and, in fact, in his own plants, he has established what many regard as unusually good union management relations.
 While emphasizing organized labor's s shortcomings, he argues that "the basic ills of >the business system stem from business itself" not from labor.
 Furthermore, he pays an unusual tribute to the leaders of interna- tional unions. Many of them, he declares, ''are more enlightened than high-ranking businessmen" " However, local unions, he contends, are too often in the hands of less able or "secOnd rate" men.
 He suggests cure of his own for this-namely, that local unions raise salaries so as to attract more capable business agents and executives.
 WORKERS FOR UNIONISM
 Very strongly he cautions employers against trying to crush unions on the pretext that they have bad leader ship.
 s'Unions will not be knocked out by anything less than revolution that will first destroy all em- ployers," he maintains.
 Workers may be bitterly disap- pointed with this or that union but they have not lost faith in unionism. On the contrary, they are more con vinced of the necessity of unionism than ever before"
 URGES $S5 MINIMUM
 Another highlight of his program Is that industry assume the obligation of paying every worker a living wage" He proposes a rock-bottom minimum of $35 a week, or 871z cents an hour-thus going far beyond the advocates of legislation to establish a 65-cent floor" No family in America, he argues, can subsist on less than $35 weekly.
 Such minimum, he says, will bene- fit industry and the nation as much as the low-paid workers.
 ssCHEAP'' LABOR COSTLY
 "Cheap labor is inefficient and ex- pensive, while well-paid workers yield superior performance, at less than standard unit cost" he emphases.
 'The employer who willfully under pays his workers is a parasite upon his neighbors who meet their labor bills in full"
 Moreover, private enterprises de pends for its continued existencel on the ability of workers to buy the products of farms and factories" he asserts,
 Another major point he makes is that business must give the worker

Seattle Loses 10 PorilaHd- Rainiers Loaded Bases
 in Eighth Inning
tBy The Associated Pres)

Cliff Chambers. otherwise identi- tied last night as the Los Angeles Angels, beat the San Francisco Seals. 9-1. to drop the Seals two games off the Pacific Coast League pace.
 The leading Angels could just about have sent the other eight guys home and let Chambers play the game alone and they still would have trimmed San Francisco. The ace southpaw who halls from Bel lingham. Wash, gave the Seals only five hits. He struck out six men in- cluding his league rival, Bob Ches- nes. who pinch tatted in the eighth.
 Chambers also got three hits, be- ing robbed of a fourth by a spec tacular running catch by Neil Sher- idan; scored two runs and stole base. It was Chambers seventh win in eight starts against the Seals, including five straight last year.
 San Francisco's only tally was cn Dino Restelli's hcmer with two gone in the ninth.

 You simply had to see it tu believe it.
 It was a case of mayi.-Tg1 on the diamond. New York fans, even those with long memories, will tell YOU that there never was another Ma tional League team that packed the punch these Giants of 1947 do.
 If you hapDened to be a spectator at last nights teeing off party at the Polo Grounds against the Bos- ton Braves, you would be inclined to agree with them. Training their siege guns at four Boston pitchers, the relentless Giants blasted away for Is hits including five home runs, triple and a double to vanquish the Braves 15-3.
 Bobby Thomson slammed a home run Buddy Kerr hit one And of course, the thumoing trio of Johnny Mize. Willard Marshall and Walker Cooper hit one apiece. Thomson also connected for a three -bagger
 Ire only solace for Boston was Tommy Holmes, two homers and triple off winning pitcher Larry Jansen.
 Despite the victory, the Giants remained in third place, but they cut the Braves first place margin to a mere half game. Boston re- tained it's first place hold over the Brooklyn Dodgers by two percentage points The Brooks lost an oppor- tunity to take over the league lead when they. blew a 5-3 game to the Phillies in Philadelphia earlier in the day.
 In the only other National League game. the steadily rising St. Louis Cardinals moved within three and half games of the top by winning a close 2-1 game from the Pirates at night in Pittsburgh The Cards increased their fourth place lead of the idle Chicago Cubs to a full game
 Detroit took sole possession of third place in the American League by nipping the White Sox in Chi cago 2-1 The Tigers now are a half game in front of Philadelphia and Cleveland who are tied Tor fourth. The Indians moved in on the As when they defeated the Browns in a night game at St. Louis 9-3
 The Indians victory over the Browns was beclouded by an injury to their great pitching star, Bobby Teller. The fireball ace was forced to withdraw in the second inning with severe back pains. After leav- ing the game in which he famed three in one and one third innings, Teller said he felt aches in the right side of his back while warm ing up, but decided to start.
 Teller expressed belief that a strain was caused by favoring his left knee, which was injured in a fall off the mound in Philadelphia, June 13.

states to seek employment. They
need officials in Ashe county to
work for these things instead
of working for themselves as
