NHour Week For
Boston Building

Boston (ILNS). = Building con-
struction work will be on 5-day,
40-hour week, effective at once, the
Associated General Contractors of
Massachusetts, and the Building
Trades Employers Association of
the City of Boston have just an
nounced. Wage negotiations have
been completed with nearly all
building trades unions.
A joint statement of the con-
tractors groups said that "any
work week longer than a 40-hour
week obviously raises construction
costs. With a longer week, labor
turnover increases, and the morale,
health and efficiency of the work
ers decrease" The organizations
added that the 40-hour week had
"the enthusiastic support" of the
trade unions.

yes.
Representative Melvin Price,
Democrat, Of Illinois, author of d
bill for 65-cent floor, said that he
was urging action as an emergency
matter because Of sharply rising
living costs, and for the principal
purpose Of equalizing nonunion
workers with those who have won
higher wages by union bargaining
power.
Living Cost Increase Cited
He pointed out that the 65-cent
minimum had passed the Senate
last year and had been approved
by the House committee and said
he was willing to endorse the &C.
cent plan as being more likely to
get through this session.
Representative Price said that K
40 cents was an equitable mini
mum in 1899, 60 cents was an ulti-
mate low today in view Of the SO
percent increase in living costs re-
ported by the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics. He said that corporate
profits reports showed an all
around 305 percent increase and
that "those industries which have
most underpaid their workers are
up the most"

Trumon To Study
U. S. Foreign Aid

A survey of all affected elements
in the u. S. economy, including
those industries vulnerable to tar
iff changes, is urged by The Amer
lean Tariff League upon the nom
partisan committee being formed
by President Truman to study u.
S. foreign aid potentialities and
limits.
In letter to the 19 leaders rep
resenting business, agriculture,
labor and other interests, who
have been invited to serve on the
Presidents committee, the League
declared that the American people
want to see the war-torn nations
revive and prosper, and "will be
willing to devote some portion of
their working day to the economic
assistance of foreign countries"
Declaring that it had many
times pointed out that the U. S.
could no longer balance its "out-
size exports by imports of raw
m terials and non-competitive
commodities" the League review
ed it's fears that some domestic in
dustries were likely to be sacrificed
so as to permit an influx of foreign
goods merely for the purpose of
balancing currently "infated ex-
ports"
"The worker in an industry de-
pendent upon tariff, as well as the
worker in an export industry, are
both going to be asked to share,
by taxation, in the burden of such
economic assistance to foreign ma
tions," the League declared. "If we
ask them to make this sacrifice
equally, we should expect that they
would be treated equally in all
other respects. Specifically, it
would be unfair to ask the worker
in the industry dependent upon
tariff to devote part of his energies
to foreign aid and then take away
the industry upon which he de-
pends for his livelihood, so that
some foreign industry might re-
place it."
The League offered its services
to the newly-appointed committee
to assist it in it's studies.

Nurses Are
Not Satisfied
With Conditions

New York City 0LNS).-Low
pay, long hours and lack of secur-
ity for nurses reported recently by
the u. S. Department Of Labor
after a survey Of the profession
represent a challenge TO the public
for remedial action, Katherine j.
Densford, president of the Amer
ican Nurses Association, declared.
The challenge is directed not
only to boards of directors, she
said but to every patient, every
member of a hospital insurance
plan and every citizen.
"The fact that approximately
100000 nurses are active in prac-
tice today, in spite of serious dis
satisfactions with the conditions
under which many Of them work, is
evidence of their devotion to the
public health" Miss Densford said.
at refutes the charges OCCASION
ally heard that the profession as a
whole is unduly concerned about
economics. However, it scarcely
justifies a continued acceptance OF
such conditions as fair to nursing
or the public interest"
Many of the causes of dissatis-
faction could be corrected with no
major dislocation Of finances or ad-
ministration, she added.

Workers Are Still
Strong For Unions

Workers are still voting for un-
ion representation by a huge maj
ority, despite violent propaganda
against labor, the National Labor
Relations Board reported this
week.
1t issued a roundup for May,
which showed that unions won 73
per cent of the elections conducted
during the month and 79 per cent
of the $4,000 ballots cast. That's
about the same majority which has
been rolled up for unions every
month this year.
Billions
If proof is needed that Big Bus
mess got much bigger during the
war, it is supplied by United
Press survey.
1t reveals that there are now 45
companies with assets of more
than a billion dollars each, more
than double the number in the
boom year of 1929.
Banks and insurance companies
top the list. Metropolitan Life,
with assets of more than SO bill
ions, is first, and Bell Telephone
second, with more than 81 billions.
Several railroads are in the select
club.

Beuf LuborA Act
Sponsors At Polls,
VIM. Green Urges

Indianapolis (ILNS).-Members
of Congress who supported the
Taft Hartley labor bill are facing
all-out labor opposition at the next
congressional election, President
William Green of the American
Federation of Labor warned here.
Speaking at the national conven-
ton Of the American Flint Glass
Workers Union, President Green
urged union members to defeat
Congress supporters of the bill at
the polls and indicated that labor
might take holiday at the 1913
election.
"The humblest worker in the
land" Green said, "can go to the
ballot box and vote and his vote
will count as much as that of the
wealthiest man in the nation.
We've got the voters in the indus
trial states Of the nation. We must
vote as one man.
Perhaps, if we can arrange it,
we will call for a holiday on cleo
tion day. We can take holiday if
they don't give US one"
A burst of applause greeted this
statement. The AFL president said
he had been urged to call a nation
wide strike in protest Of the new
labor law, but he said "this would
hurt US more than it would help
u.s."

Puts Property Above Lives

In contrast, the "owner of prop
erty" damaged in a railroad acci-
dent could bring his suit anywhere
the railroad does business.
+ For instance" Feighan said,
"if an individual driving his auto
mobile were struck by train, he
could bring suit for his personal
injuries only in certain courts,
whereas he could sue the railroad
anywhere for damages to his auto
mobile"
The writing of the bill merely
enlarged the class Disseminated
against" Feighan declared. 1t did
not correct the injustices to rail-
road employees.
The other minority report was
signed by two Republicans-Devitt
of Minnesota and Reed of Illinois
and by five Democrats-Byrne
and Celler of New York, Lane of
Massachusetts, Gorski of Illinois,
and Walter of Pennsylvania.
Won't End Evils
They declared "the bill is unfair
in that it discriminates against the
railroad workers. If enacted, it
would not wipe out the evils
against which it is directed"
Unlike Feighan, who would
simply kill the Jennings bill and
leave the situation as it has been
in recent years, the minority group
proposed some Federal Employers
Liability Act amendments of its
own.
One would require railroad per-
sonal injury suits to be brought in
"a Federal court where the plain
tiff resides or where the carrier
operates trains"

when they are cable and willing to
work." and through the elimina-
tion of penalty clauses and the "no
strike" guarantee included in pre-
vious contracts. The dues check-off
is continued, but on a voluntary
basis to conform to the require
ments of the new law.
The UNIV policy committee un-
ammously ratified at Il night meet
ing the contract drafted at confer
ences between Mr.. Lewis and the
Northern coal operators during the
July a weekend. No working time
was lost between the expiration of
the unions contract with the Gov
ernment and the negotiation of the
new contract with the private en-
ployers because the miners were on
their annual vacation during the
interim.
The agreement provides wage
increase of As cents an hour for
the miners and other important
concessions.
The agreement calls for a one
year contract although the operat-
ors had asked for a two-year
agreement.
Other terms are as follows:
A six-and-a-half-hour workday
at the face of the coal. This is ar
ranged by having an eight-hour
day from portal to portal in place
of the present nine-hour day. 1t
would cover about one hour for
travel time below ground and half
an hour for lunch. The present
lunch period is Is minutes.
The union welfare fund will be
doubled. At present 5 cents a ton
is deducted for this fund. At the
1947 production rate this means
close to $3O,OOO,OOO a year. The
new agreement will provide about
$60,O00,00O year.
The operators agreed to the Fed
eral safety code.
The contract makes permanent
the welfare fund originated under
the UMW's agreement with the
Federal government. 1t will be ad-
by three-member
board of trustees composed of un-
ion and employer representatives
and a neutral party selected by
them. Mr.. Lewis was designated
the miners trustee and Ezra Van
Horn, the employers trustee.
1t was agreed that money col
lected under the previous welfare
fund agreement shall be transfer
red to the new board of trustees.

Meat Cutters
Win Increase

Chicago. - Earl w. Emerson,
president of the AFL Amalgamat-
ed Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen's Union, nounce e d
wage increases of 6 cents an hour
granted by Swift & Co. and Arm
our G. Co. About $4,000 workers
will benefit.
Mr.. Emerson said the increase
raised to $1.02 an hour the Chicago
metropolitan area rate for male
workers. Last November the union
obtained wage increases of 71A
cents an hour from the nations
packers, plus an average of 81
cents an hour in so-called fringe
issues.

Republican Press For Legislation
To SET 50-Cenf Minimum Pay Rate

Washington, D. c. IILNS) In
crease in the minimum hourly rate
of pay under the Fair Labor
Standards (wage-hour) Act APP
peared certain, as the Republican
majority marked the proposal
must for enactment at this ses-
sion and pressed for early action.
A House Labor subcommittee is
seeking to expedite reporting Of
bill and has pushed hearings on the
measure of Representative Gerald
w. Lands, Republican of Indiana,
to increase the minimum wage
from 40 to 60 cents. The American
Federation Of Labor has asked an
immediate increase to So cents an
hour, with rs cents in 2 years.
Missourian Fights Bill
Not all the Republicans are in
favor of increasing the rate to 60
cents. Representative Max Schwa-
be of Missouri opposed the in
crease as tending to hasten econ
omic collapse in an infationary
period, cause unemployment by
throwing substandard workers or
the dole, and involve the govern
ment eventually in wage-deter-
mination.
He said the ultimate increases
resulting from the move would be
4 or 5 times as great as the esti-
mated increase for the million
workers who would be brought up
to go cents an hour, because the
whole wage structure would feel
the rise.
Schwabe also argued that the
wages and hours act itself was
contrary to the American way and
Republican party policy and was
more like Communist party policy.
"Do you think the Republican
party is veering to the left ?" Rep
resentative Arthur G. Klein, Demo
crat, of New York, asked.
81 think this bill is veering to
the left" Schwabe answered.
Champions Starvation Pay
As an illustration, he said that if
a man went to a public sale and
bought an article cheaply it was
his right, and eff he hires a worker
cheap, that's the American way Of
doing it."
Pressed repeatedly to give an
answer to the question, Does
freedom mean the right to pay
starvation wages ?" he finally said,
IF you want to put it that way,

w. A. A. Blasted By
House Committee

A subcommittee of the House
Expenditures Committee used lot
of words to take the War Assets
Administration over the Goals, but
its Indictment boils down to this:
There are too many military
men in charge; they are incompet-
ent and should be dropped.
The "brass hats" were accused
of misrepresentation and decept-
ion" in their relations with Con-
gress.
The committee said that it had
turned over to the Department of
Justice and the Internal Revenue
Bureau evidence of "unconscion-
able" contracts. Details were not
revealed.

Magazine Puts
Medicos On Spot

Senator Glen H. Taylor (Dem.,
Ida.), read into the "Congression-
al Record" this week an article
from a popular magazine which
puts the medical profession "on the
spot"
1t says that medical men "have
long known the shocking fact" that
many of the nine million opera
tions performed annually in this
country are unnecessary.
"Among doctors," the article de-
clares, "it is an open secret that
in many an operating room the
cloak of surgery covers mayhem
and even manslaughter.
"There are too many unqualified
doctors literally getting away with
murder in the operating room.
There are too many operations mo-
tivated by an interest in the pat
tents pocketbook."
Fee-Splitting Doctors
"Fee-splitting" by doctors is de-
clared to be an evil. 1t is confined
to a minority of doctors, but is not
so insignificant it can be ignored.
The American Surgical Associa-
ton is quoted as saying that at
least half of the surgical opera
tions are done by physicians with
out special qualifications. Of about
10000 practicing physicians who
perform surgery, less than $4,000
are said to be certified"
This is given as a reason why
deaths following operations are
greater in the United States than
in any other civilized country.

Roll Lobby Bill Hit By
Members Of House Group

Two dissenting reports by mem
bers of the House Judiciary Com
mittee are the latest developments
in a controversy which is shaping
up in Congress on a bill of great
importance to railroad employees.
Sponsored by Congressman John
Jennings Rep., Tenn.), and back
ed by the Railroad Lobby, the bill
would make it much more difficult
for injured railmen, or the widows
of those killed, to collect compen-
sation from the carriers.
1t would do that by limiting such
suits to courts where the accident
occurred, or where the injured or
killed employe had his residence.
At present, the suit can be brought
anywhere in the territory served
by the railroad.
Majority Approved Bill
AS reported by Labor last week,
the committee majority approved
the bill. Since then, the two minor
ity reports have been issued.
One, signed by Congressman
Michael A. Feighan (Dem., Ohio),
urges Congress to reject the bill
and denounces it in no uncertain
terms.
Feighan points out that, as ori-
ginally written, the bill would Ere
strict the choice of forum" for one
group only-railroad employees in.
personal injury suits under the
Federal Employers Liability Act.
The committee majority re-
wrote the bill, so as to apply the
same restrictions to passengers
and others injured or killed in rail
road accidents. Of course, that was
even more satisfactory to the Rail
road Lobby.
