Organizational work at the
New Departure plant of GIN in
Sandusky is proceeding at a
steady pace. There is a shift in
sentiment on the part of the
workers away from the craft
union idea. There is still plenty
of work to be done and any help
that can be given will be
appreciated.
Members of Local IL can also
help in the Sandusky organiza-
tional drive. Those who may
wish to do so should contact
either myself or Charles Ballard
at the Regional Office, AIS
Winthrop st.

Help in organizing the New
Departure plant will be given
by the S a n d u sky Industrial
Union Council which has created
a special organizing committee
for the purpose.
Better progress is expected at
the Farrell Cheek Steel Foundry
Sandusky from now on. A few
live wire union men are work
ing in the plant and there should
be a decided change in our
progress in this plant from here
on out.

Miami Outlaws Sians

MIAMI BEACH (LPA)-
After June z, it's against the
law in this resort community to
display in hotels, apartment
houses, and other public places,
signs which indicate the practice
of religious discrimination by
these establishments. Result of
long community campaign, the
law will remove, it is hoped, the
last vestiges of anti-Jewish re-
strictions by a few local estab-
lishments.

NEW YORK (LPA)-The as
sets of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers (CIO) on Dec. 81,
1946, stood at SIS, ,824,852-an in
crease of $488, ,069 in II months.
The Amalgamated financial
statement, made public in ac-
cordance with the unions long
established custom of informing
the public of its financial prac-
tices, showed that charitable
and relief contributions from the
general office of the union came
to more than 81 100000 during
the year.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1947-06-20

to $1,000. Previously, the
more than 200 delegates
from 80 chartered CWA di-
vision, voted down a proposal to
amend the CWA constitution to
make possible affiliation with
the AFL or CIO easier. Action
of the delegates on this was con-
elusive, 96,111 per capita votes
being cast against lowering the
requirements and 1855 in
favor.
Representatives of both the
CIO and AFL were at the con-
vention to persuade delegates to
vote for affiliation. The CIO
men buttonholed the CWA dele
gates on behalf OF the newly
organized Telephone Workers
Organizing Committee VIII C h
formed by a number of unions
formerly affiliated with the Ma
tional Federation of Telephone
Workers, the CWA's prede-
cessor.
AFL Bids Too
The AFL also made strong
bid for CWA affiliation by send
ing President Dan Tracy, of the
international Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers. Tracy
carried a new proposal to coun-
teract the first IBEW offer last
year which would have given
the NFTW "Class B" member
ship.
Despite these pressures, how
ever, the convention decided
that the important thing now is
to build up and strengthen the
newly-born CWA. A CWA Of
ficial declared that "there was
considerable feeling among some
delegates who, while opposing
immediate affiliation, were will
ing to see the issue go to the
membership in referendum, feel
ing sure of its outcome. This
feeling, he said, accounts for
closeness of the vote which is
therefore not a real indication
of the sentiments of those who
favor AFL or CIO affiliations
now"

Congress Kills;
Landlords Cheer

WASHINGTON, June 1S
(LPA)-The real estate lobby
has won its years-long battle to
virtually destroy federal plan
ming and encouragement to
BODYBUILDING for the people
who need homes at prices they
can afford.
Here is what happened in
Congress last week, all of it
highly cheering and acceptable
to the landlords and builders
pressure groups:
RENT CONTROL: At least a
is per cent voluntary" rent in
crease and an end to federal
eviction controls with all con-
trolls removed next Dec. 81,
agreed to by the Senate House
conferees, with passage certain.
If President Truman vetoes
this, there will be no controls of
any sort after June 80, when the
present law expires.
Said former Rent and OPA
Administrator Paul Porter to a
Town Meeting of the Air Audi
.ence in Illinois last week: Dear,
dead, departed rent control!
Alas, ! knew him well. Now the
Congress has condemned to a
slow and tedious death the only
remaining protection of our liv-
ing costs. Congress has served
as an undertaken and I'm glad
that l don't have to serve as pail
bearer as I did with the rest of
price control last fall.
Veterans Housing
The same Senate House con.
ference committee voted an end
to all veterans housing controls,
and all restrictions on construc-
ton except for amusement, or
recreation purposes.
Said conferee Glen Taylor ID.
Idaho): I'm the face of the most
desperate housing shortage in
American history, especially for
