Retail Clerks Win
Substantial Raise
In NEGOTIATIONS

After negotiating for more than
month, the Phoenix Retail Clerks
Union, Local No. SO, SUCCESSFULLY
won wage increases of from $500
to $500 per week on their current
wage structure, time and one-half
on overtime with double pay for
Sundays, with the new contract
extended to August 1, 1948.
At the outset the management.
through the Industrial Council, had
offered the Union &c per hour
across the board for all four clas-
sifications. This offer was promptly
rejected by the membership. Later,
negotiations were resumed.
A stalemate was reached on
July %, and special meeting was
called for August 5. After all facts
had been put before the member
ship, a motion to strike the in
dustry was approved almost un-
anamously.
The Employers Association was
notified and joint meeting was
arranged to explore the possibilities
OF getting together. This gesture
resulted in calling in U. S. Con-
ciliator, S. Llye Johnson, who con-
Quoted the groups negotiations to
final conclusion late Saturday
night.
Through the efforts of Mr.. John
SON and with a "give and take"
from management and the union
combined, settlement was reached
and another serious work stoppage
was averted.
Paul w. Hansen, of Los Angeles,
international Representative of the
Clerks Union, did a creditable Job
in assisting in the final outcome.
The Union is very gratified at
the cooperation extended by other
Locals that would have been af-
fected had a walk-out occurred.
Mary Pond, Local Secretary, and
c. c. Beddome, Business Agent.
prepared the data and furnished
the necessary information that
supported the Union in it's demands
for additional wages so vitally
needed to offset the rising costs
of living. Ross Goodwin, Pres.
P. c. L. c., assisted with earlier
negotiations.
The management is to be COM
plimented on the fair manner in
which all arguments were present.

truth On Boulder
Dam Confr0VerseY
(Long Beach Labor News


Hoover Dam, that's the new
name for Americas world-fam-
Gus Boulder Dam. When Congress
recently okayed this change the
L. A. Times and other newspapers
applauded and said it was about
time. They claimed that Boulder
Dam should have been rightfuIly
named Hoover Dam all along.
Here's the Real Truth. The bill
for Boulder Dam was proposed by
California'S Senator Hiram John
son in 1926. It was signed and
shephered through Congress by
Coolidge-and was called Boulder
Dam. A movement under Pres.
Hoover to change the name to
Hoover Dam never got any place.
The project was built by the
Interior Dept, and completed by
the Roosevelt administration
Furthermore, Hoover has been a
lifelong opponent of this type
of public power project.

Lime and Fertilizer
Use At Ali Time High

That the use of fertilizer and lime
reached an all time high in Maryland
dining 1916 has bene revealed by the
annual report Of l.. f. Bopst. State
Chemist At the University of Mary
land
Mr.. Bopst. who has recently been
appointed by the Secretary of Agri-
culture as a member Of the nation
wide Feed Advisory Committee,
stated that the lime used in Maryland
amounted to 274,2OO tons in 1916, as
compared to only 59,72l tons in 1875.
His report also shows that 244,743
tons of fertilizer were used as com
pared to only 1G4,842 tons in 1885.
The most popular type of fertilizer
was 3-12-G (3 parts nitrogen to -
parts phosphorus and 6 of potash in
each 100 pounds). which was also the
largest seller in 1911 and !945. Back
in 1913, Isl was the popular ferti-
lizer, according 20 the report This
was replaced after World War I by
2-S-2 and then by 2-2-5 during most
Of the 1920's and part Of the l930's
During 1885 2-9-5 became popular
These changes show that there has
been gradual increase in the nitro
gen and potash content Of The felti-
l,Zers being used on Maryland farms

'Kickback' 10 British
On Greek Turkish Aid
Denied by Acheson
. BY the Assoeioisd Press

The State Department says
Great Britain may get some
American dollars out Of the
$4,000 900 Greek Turkish aid
program, but only by selling the
Greeks military equipment.
Undersecretary of State Acheson
denied fatty at news conference
late yesterday that there will be
any "kickback" of funds to cover
British expenses In supporting the
Greek armed forces since March 81.
The British may obtain several
millions in badly needed dollar ex-
change, he added, by delivering
munitions of a type which could not
be obtained elsewhere. This Is be-
cause the Greek Army now uses
British equipment.
Reporter Raises Question.
Similarly, MIR. Acheson said, Italy,
France and other countries which
need American dollars to buy goods
In this country may be able to
supply some of the things which
the United States will send into
Greece.
The question was raised by a re-
porter who told Mr.. Acheson there
had been reports Britain would ask
$2o,000,0O0 reimbursement OF
money spent since the March 81
date when the United States was
asked to take over the job Of
bolstering Greece against Com
munist inroads.
Mr.. Acheson replied that no such
issue has been raised.
Asked whether the United States
program is being delayed by fail
ure of President Truman to fin6
an administrator for the aid to
Greece, Mr.. Acheson said he knew OF
no delay yet. but that the man must
be named soon.
Experts to Submit Draft Soon.
He said the Americans who will
handle the aid should start for
Greece in the next week or so.
Mr.. Acheson added that the draft
of an agreement with Greece for
carrying out the program Will be
submitted soon to Secretary Mar
shall and President Truman by
State Department experts.
He said the civilian directors In
both Greece and Turkey will have
authority over the military ele-
ments of their missions and that
the State Department does not in
tend to do any back-seat driving.
The directors will have broad powers
to make decisions on the ground.
Secretary Marshall, Mr.. Acheson
added, will have a co-ordinator and
expediter whose job will be to see
that the Greek and Turkish ad-
ministrators get prompt action on
their recommendations to Washing
ton.
