Nelligan was traced by laundry

ANPA, Pressmen Agree
To Arbitrate All Disputes
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 49, The
American Newspaper Publishers
Association announced today it has
signed an agreement with the AFL
International Printing Pressmen
and Assistants Union of North
America for five-year contract
providing arbitration of all disputes.
The arbitration pact will be sub
mitted to union members for final
approval in an October referendum,
the ANPA said. The renewed agree
ment, which has been in force since
1902, requires publishers and local
unions sig ,ng the document to
agree to ar a:tration as the sole de-
termination of civil liability.
The ANPA said the new contract
requires arbitration to begin within
30 days after notice of dispute.
Also offered arbitration on the
same basis by the ANPA, a spokes-
man said, are the AFL Interna-
tional Photoengravers' Union and
the AFL International Stereotypers
and Electrotypers' Union. The
ANPA spokesman said the same
offer might be made to the AFL In
ternational Typographical Union at
a conference to be held September

Z Padway said the lawyers also
will advise their unions that they
should "affirmatively violate" the
Taft-Hartley law ban on union pol
itical expenditures, to bring about
a constitutional test of the law.
Clause Seen Invalid
eve will advise the unions that
the clause prohibiting political ex-
penditures is unconstitutional and
not to be recognized" Padway
said. "If we are prosecuted, we are
ready and we will spare no money
and lose no time contesting it to
the limit"
Padway said the unions also will
work to defeat the legislators who
supported the Hartley Act.
The unions will not refrain from
publishing that Senator Robert A.
Taft of Ohio and Representative
Fred A. Hartley of New Jersey
"are avowed enemies of the prin-
ciples of organized labor" Padway
told reporters.
"We will request AFL members
to defeat them when they are up
for election, and to spend money
publicizing the records of Taft and
Hartley and those persons who
acted in concert with them in our
own publications, over the radio
and in newspapers"
Closed Shop Ban Test Coming
In explanation of the recommen-
dation against signing contracts
with no-strike clauses, Padway
pointed out that these clauses are
usually given by unions in return
for the closed shop and added:
"Since now unions cannot have
the closed shop and cannot eject or
discipline members for any reason
except for nonpayment of dues, we
will advise the international unions
to give no more no-strike clauses
to employers"
The federation also hopes for
test of the closed shop prohibition,
Padway said. However, cases pend
ing in several states, including
Florida, Nebraska, South Dakota
and Arizona, may reach the Sup
RENE Court this fall and make it
unnecessary to start new suit on
the Taft Hartley bill.
Affidavits Branded Insulting
With regard to the requirement
for affdavits to the National
Labor Relations Board denying
Communist affiliations, Padway
said:
"We feel that these affidavits
are unconstitutional and insulting.

deny thousands of workers their
access to the sole tribunal because
one officer may not be able to file

'ornia Shipbuilding Corporation.
The union contended that the
workers were entitled to pay for
time spent awaiting assignment of
duties, and if they were required to
Ion special uniforms, the time con-
sumed became a part of the job.
The corporation argued that the
recently enacted portal-to-portal

sdiction.

Miners Union
Wins Record
Pay Increase
Cut In Hours,
Welfare Hike

Washington, d. C. The United
Mine Workers Union signed a new
contract, described as the "most
beneficial" in the unions history,
and voted to return to work inn
mediately in the Northern coal
mines.
At the same time it was report
ed that the Southern operators,
who formed the hard core of die
hard opposition to the UMWA's
terms, would be forced to surrend-
er by economic pressure and ac-
cept the same contract within a
few days.
Thus the threat of a nationwide
soft coal strike vanished and the
coal miners gained the greatest
collective bargaining advances in
years.
Pay increases provided for in
the new pact are As cents an hour
or $305 day. A new basic daily
wage of $13.05 is established and
working hours are reduced from 9
to 8 with the lunch period increas-
ed from Is minutes to a half hour.
In addition, UNIV President John
L. Lewis gained a 100 percent in

health and welfare fund.

n. Samuel M. Noyes, Director OF
fozih Rent Office at Wheeling, West
Virginia, announced today that
there seems to be widespread i'm
preston that the new rent control
legislation provides for automatic
rent increases of 1870. This is not
true.
During the heat of debate, while
legislation was under considera-
tion, proponents Of continuing rent
controls without change attacked
proposals they felt would weaken
the law. Their condemnation Of
which were modified or removed
from the final bill-has left the
impression that the new law is a
shotgun at the head of renters, and
that there is no alternative except
E3mediate submission. This is not
Va, de.
Rent controls are still in effect.
The new law still provides protec-
tion for tenants. And since this law
affects the families who are living
in more than sixteen million dwell
ling units throughout the nation, it
is essential that they have the
facts. Both landlords and tenants
should be informed about their
rights and obligations under the
new legislation.
Here are the major provisions
of the law.
l. Rent controls are still in af-
feet. You pay the same rent on
July 1, 1947, that you did in June

met if we follow the simple pat
tern of the Golden Rule. Let us
realize and resolve that in spite OF
achievements, there still re-
THains an extensive field for activ-
ity in regard to continued enlarge
ment of our membership. The pow
er developed along these lines re-
mains the determined factor as to
freedom or slavedom of the pot
terry workers.
Let US fortify our position in
the eyes of our employers to such
an extent that we will be suffici-
emily prepared to meet all require
ments for further progres S
throughout the year.
The convention was in session
six days, opening on June 20 and
winding up on July Z with the
delegates handling some 13O odd
resolutions over that period. This
showed the serious manner in
which the various committees and
subcommittee as well as the con-
vention as a whole went about the
task confronting them. President
Duffy in his closing remarks prais-
ed the various committees for their
splendid work.
Atlantic City was again chosen
as the site for the 1913 convention.
The seaside resort has proven a
popular choice over the years as
the ideal spot for the potters con-
vention. Only two other cities were
named, Cincinnati and Cleveland,
and neither was able to muster the
required twenty-five hackers to
IRlace it on the ballot.

tions, which will appear in next

The New Rent Control;
Old Controls Still Effective

ant have voluntarily signed writ
ten lease which runs at least
through December 81, 1948. The
increase in rent allowed in such a
lease can run up to 1870. Leases
for smaller increases are perfectly
legal. The lease must also provide
the same services, furniture and
equipment which the tenant had
before the new law went into eff
feet. And a copy of it must be filed
with the local rent control office
within Is days after execution.
Local rent Offices will examine
these leases carefully, and no trick
termination or penalty clauses will
be approved.
2. A tenant who has been over
charged may sue in any Federal or
State court within one year after
violation for three times the over
charge plus costs.
3. Protection against eviction is
provided in the law. A tenant can
not be evicted for refusing to sign
a lease. In general, the tenant who
continues to pay his rent should
have no fear Of eviction. The maj
or difference is this: Before the
passage of the new law there was
a waiting period of three to six
months before tenants could be
evicted when a house was sold.
Now the time of eviction after sale
is determined by local laws. Form

ing for big game.
1t charged that Competition has
been suppressed and the antitrust
laws violated by price-fxing prac-
tices in the corn products industry,
which is among the biggest bus
inesses in the country.
Its total capital runs into hund-
reds of millions of dollars, and its
products are used by other import
ant industries and by every Amer
lean man, woman and child.
Among these products are
starches, food oils, syrups and
sugars made from corn.
"Thumbing Their Noses"
Nineteen companies and four
"trade associations" according to
the F. T. c., have been thumbing
their noses at the commission, at
laws passed by Congress, and even
at the Supreme Court.
That top tribunal, about year
ago, ordered the Corn Products Re-
fning Company and the Staley
Company to stop fixing prices.
Those are two of the biggest con-
Germs in the corn products indus
