TELEVISED PLAYS
ALL-UNION JOBS
TWO INTLS AGREE

New York (LPA)-A fifty-fifty
split of the jobs opened up by this
weeks first television broadcast
from a Broadway show-the top
hit "Mr. Roberts"-has been agreed
on by the Int'l Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers and the Intl
Alliance of Theatrical State EN-
ployes, both AFL affiliates.
CHS last Tuesday televised part
Of the play "Mr. Roberts" along
with backstage interviews. The
IREW and IATSE furnished equal
numbers Of cameramen, control
men and other technicians. The
two-union agreement is limited to
the first three weeks of televised
stage shows, after which it can be
extended or altered.
Origin of the potential dispute
over jurisdiction lies in the fact
that the IATSE claims that the
performances are kindred to the
entertainment of screen and stage
the IBEW claims them as kindred
to radio. IATSE President Richard
II. Walsh and lBEW President
Daniel Tracy participated in the
negotiations leading to the agree
ment.

the courts can't lend themselves
to-"
Another important feature of the
ruling was that the posting of an
"unfair list" is entirely lawful, and
protected even by the "free speech"
section of the Taft Hartley Act.
Should the decision be sustained
in higher courts, the ultimate eff
fort, union leaders said might be
to take a large part, if not all of
the building industry, completely
out of the Jurisdiction of the Taft
Hartley Act.
Meanwhile, President Richard j..
Gray of the AFL Building Trades
Dept and James d. Marshall, as
sistant managing director of the
Associated General Contractors of
America, jointly announced that
machinery for settlement of juris-
dictional disputes in the building
industry, previously agreed upon
by the unions and contractors,
would start functioning May l. 1t
will cover nearly 100000 workers.
The department, the Associated
General Contractors and seven as
sociations of speciality contractors
have signed an agreement for es-
tablishment Of national joint
board to handle jurisdiction dis
putes.
Gray and Marshall also disclosed
that John r. Dunlop has been Sc
Ilected as impartial chairman Of the
board of trustees which will admin
lister the machinery. Dunlop is an
associate professor of Harvard, and
in addition is consultant both to
the Natl Labor Relations Board
and to President Truman's Council
of Economic Advisers.
The two men declared that re-
quests for decisions will be ac-
cepted beginning May |, and that
these may be submitted either by
international unions affiliated with
the department, by contractors as
sociations signatory to the agree
ment, and by individual contractors
or other associations in the indus
try employing members of unions
affiliated with the department and
stipulating they will be bound by
the terms of the agreement.

Hannah Reports On
Activities

Displaying confidence and OPP
timism, members Of the Advisory
Committee of the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor's Educational and
Political League met at Columbus
April 2 to hear reports on the pro
gress of the various local units
throughout the state, and plan fu-
ture activities of the League.
Presiding at the meeting was
Michael j. Lyden, president of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor and
also the Leagues state chairman
Phil Hannah, secretary-treasurer OF
the League gave a detailed report
of the progress to date. He explain
ed how the League has begun tc
operate and to raise funds fol
carrying on its political activities
zone thing is certain" Mr.. Han
nah emphasized. "We will do every
thing possible to accomplish our OBJ
jective; we must keep active politi-
cally in self-defcnse."
He pointed out to the commit
teemen that in many districts
those who voted for the Taft Hart
ley bill were elected by a very mar
row margin and that little effort
on the part of labor in those dis
tricts could bring about their de-
feat.
A great deal of the meeting
was devoted to reports from in
dividual members of the committee
and the interchange of informa-
tion and ideas as to how Central
Bodies and Locals could best CO.
ordinate their activities with the
State League. They piled up evi-
dence to show that anti-labor poll
ticians will have a much harder
time in the coming elections.
Numerous questions were asked
by the members present, and ans
wered as fully as possible by the
Federation's secretary and presi-
dent. After a good deal of lively
discussion, the committeeman Piled
ged themselves to carry out the
the program of the Political League
upon their return to their respec-
tive localities.
Another meeting of the Advis-
ory Committee will be held after
the state primary elections.

Labor TO Have
Place On ERP
Advisory Boord

Washington UPA) - Labor
spokesmen were hopeful this week
that the trade union movement will
have a strong voice in the admins
tration Of the European recovery
program. Dropping the language
from the ERP bill which specified
that business, labor, agriculture
and the professions" be represent
ed on the public advisory board OF
the European recovery administra-
ton doesn't mean that labor will
be denied its say, leaders of both
Houses of Congress have made
clear.
One leading trade unionist point
ed out that it would not be possible
to describe the exact ways in which
labor representatives will function
until after the ERA and the organ
national plan is established.
But, Sen. Arthur Vandenberg
leading ERP spokesman in the Sen
ate, said: at is highly desirable
that the board represent a cross
section of the fundamental inter
ests in the life of the nation, with
particular emphasis on agriculture
and labor" He explained that IN
omitting language specifying what
groups shall be represented, the
craftsmen of the final bill did not
mean to imply that the "eXpecta-
ton and desire" Of labor to partl-
cipate in the carrying out Of the
/ Marshall plan shall not be met.
In the House, Rep. Charles Ker-
sten (R., Wis.,, another ERP pilot
on Capitol Hill, said: at is the
European trade unionist who will
fulfill the production quotas OF
ERP. The presence Of responsible
American trade union leaders OF
the board is of first Importance as
is the presence thereon of business
leaders. American management ano
labor are working shoulder tC
shoulder in this effort"
Kersten reminded Congress OF
the London conference Of pro-Mar-
shall plan unions, at which the
AFL, CIO, railroad brotherhoods
were represented. "The sound trade
union movement in each country
including the U.s. he said, "pledged
support to ERP and for that rea-
son it should have proper represen-
tation on the advisory board as a
matter Of public interest"
Nomination of Paul Hoffman
president of the Studebaker Cor
poration, to head up ERP, was an
nounced by the White House this
week. Hoffman has distinguished
himself as one industrialist consis-
tently willing to recognize the
rights of unions. While a member
of the Hartman Committee which
drew up the report ON which ERP
is based, Hoffman is reported to
have sided with labor representa-
tives against those industrialists
who wanted to tailor ERP to fit
the profit economics of their bust
nesses.

Georgia Workers
Hear Of Life In
Soviet Germany

Atlanta (LPA)-While American
readers last week read of Soviet
Russia's maneuvers to poster the
western powers to abandon Berlin,
Georgia trade unionists heard a
former leader of German workers
describe life in eastern Germany,
where Russia rules alone.
The Georgia Workers Education
Service sponsored a forum at which
the principal speaker was Miss
Toni Sender, who is AFL consul
tant at the Economic Council of the
United Nations. Miss Sender was a
leading member of the German So
cial Democratic Party, vice -presi-
dent of the German parliament be-
fore Hitler, and a representative of
the Metal Workers Union.
"There are no free unions or
political parties in the Russian
zone," Miss Sender said. "The con-
centration camps of Buchenwald
and Sachenhausen are again full of
political prisoners, not former
Nazis, but Socialists, Catholics,
unionists or anyone who objects to
the Russian system. There are 100,-
900 people, many women working
in the uranium mines of Saxony, in
slave labor camps in the most in
human conditions. Wherever, as in
Berlin, there are free elections, the
Communist party is overwhelming
ly defeated"
The former Socialist deputy eX-
planned that the Russian zone has
70 per cent of the agricultural area
of Germany, and only Is per cent
of the population. But the people
there have no better diet than do
the workers in the western zones.
While America, Britain and France
ship in food for the under-nourished
population of the industrial areas,
the Russians live off the farm lands
Of the east.
Miss Sender charged that Stain
has violated the Atlantic Charter
pledge that the allies wanted no
territorial gains out of the defeat
of Hitler. Stain has incorporated
"a 100000 people into the USSR
proper, and has an iron grip on the
0,000,000 of the satellite states.
Describing her experiences as
representative of American labor
at UN Miss Sender said that the
Russians had blocked her attempt
to incorporate an international Bill
of Human Rights into the coven-
ants of UN. "When only world
government can save u.s." she re-
marked, "the Russians insist on
their sovereignty on every ISSUE.

BoycOtts Opinion Polls


Milwaukee (LPA)-- Editor
William H. Cooper of the
Building Service Employee this
week urged all labor publica-
tions to cease quoting the re-
suits of public opinion polls
unless they are sponsored by a
university or other non-prof-
it organization. For some
time", Cooper says, labor has
been adding to the stature and
Importance of the polls by be-
lieving and quoting their find
ings. The time has come for
us to adopt a more realistic
attitude"

Clothing Workers
Win New Benefits
For Its Members

New York (LPA)- Last week
saw two successes scored by the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers.
Increased social security benefits
were announced for $4,000 cotton
garment and allied workers, and
SO to So wage increases were OBJ
tanned for 5000 workers in New
York's cleaning and dyeing indus
try.
Employer and union heads of
the Amalgamated Insurance Fund
said that it is now able to pay up
to $3.50 towards the cost Of cot
ton garment workers surgical op-
Grafton, including maternity cases.
Sick and accident benefits for wo-
men workers are being increased
from SO to SO a week for up to
Is weeks of any one illness or in
jury and from $12 to S15 for men.
Hospital bill payments will be rails
ed from S5 to Sc, and incidental
payments from $25 to $50. The $500
death benefit remains unchanged.
The wage settlement in the
cleaning industry came just in time
to avert a strike. Two employer
groups representing 100 plants
agreed to the boost, and the union
expects some 40 independent plants
to fall in line. A five-day week. is
being firmly established thruout
the industry for the first time, and
five cents has been added to the
weekly minimum wage for all cat
egories of workers. The new con-
tract also improves the paid vaca-
tion clauses. Medical care and well
fare provisions are still being dis
cussed. 4

NLRB TAKES JURISDICTION
OVER RETAIL TRUCK FIRM

Washington (LPA)- BY three
to two vote the NLRB last week
said that the labor relations of a
retail truck sales company falls
under the jurisdiction of the board
as defined in the Taft Hartley act
1t ordered the holding of the col
lective bargaining representative
election asked for by the Intl AS
sociation of Machinists over the
objections of the Liddon White
Truck Company of Nashville, Tenn
The majority held that since the
company's trucks are accessories
come from outside the state it is
in interstate commerce. This con-
tention was conceded by the min
ority, which insisted, however, that
the truck firms actual business was
loacl.
Chairman Herzog and his CO
dissenter said that under the Wag-
ner Act the board had avoided tax
ing jurisdiction i'm such cases, and
maintained that with the backlog
of $500 cases, NLRB shouldn't take
on any more new cases than it has
to,

Washington (LPA)-Two impor-
tant developments highlighted the
building trades front this week.
One was the disclosure that 8
Federal judge in Denver had issued
a far-r reaching decision, holding
that local construction projects
are not covered by the Taft-Hart-
ley Act.
Another was an announcement by
the Building Trades Dept of the
AFL that the newly-created ma
chinery for settlement Of jurisdic-
tional disputes is now ready tc
function.
The Denver decision, handed
down by Federal Judge j. Foster
Symes, was hailed by President
Dan w. Tracy Of the Int'l Brother
hood of Electrical Workers-AFL as
a victory for "the established prin-
ciples Of the United States Consti-
tution'' and as a "curb on the ex-
travagant legal interpretations OF
administrative officers Of Federal
labor agencies" :"
What happened in the case was
that the Denver Building e. Con
struction Trades Council placed 8
non-union electrical sub-contracting
firm. Gould & Preisner, on the "un-
fair list" Following that, union
craftsmen at a Denver construction
project on which Gould q Preisnel
did electrical sub-contracting re
fused to work with non-unionists
employed by that firm. The uniof
men walked off the job and picket
ed the site.
The Gould & Preisner form ther
filed an unfair labor charge
against the Building Trades Coun-
Gil and its affiliates with the re-
gional office of the Natl Labor Re
lations Board.
On instructions from Robert N
Denham, NLRB general counsel, !
complaint was issued and in addi-
ton, Denham's representatives pc
titioned the Federal court for al
Injunction against the unions, which
were accused Of violating the anti
boycott" section of the Taft Hart
ley Act.
In a precedent-making ruling
Judge Symes denied the injunction
He held that the Taft Hartley Acts
injunction provisions could not be
applied because the firm was not
engaged in interstate commerce
even though it purchased some
electrical materials from outside
the state.
"The matter is purely one of To-
cal concern and its effect on in
terstate commerce is indirect, if il
affects such commerce at ALL" he
said.
Furthermore, it seems TO me,
the decision continued, chat if the
contentious Of the government are
sustained, then the whole distinc-
tion between interstate and intra
state commerce would be wiped out
and that there would be no limit
upon the power Of the Federal gov
ernment to regulate the economy
of the country i'm the most far
reaching details-something that

Gallup Isn't In
Business For Fun;
Beware Of Polls

Milwaukee, Wis. LPA)-You'G
better remember that all except
one of the nationally touted public
opinion polls are in business to
make money.
This charge is made by a form
er researcher for one of the polls
writing in the current issue OF
Building Service Employee, month.
ly magazine of the Building Serv-
ice Employees Int'l Union-AFL
Robert C. Myers, now teacher al
Princeton University is the author
"The great majority of the ex-
listing public opinion polling agen-
lcies," Myers maintains, "are simply
business enterprises organized and
run for the purpose of making q
profit"
"You might guess, then, that
their selection of questions and
their reporting of results would be
biased or slanted toward the own
ership-management point of view
and against labor, particularly or
ganized labor. Your guess would
be absolutely correct!"
Myers refers to the findings OF
a Columbia University researcher
that only 5 per cent of questions
relating to labor asked by all ma
jor polls, from 1910 thru 1916
mentioned the positive aspects OF
labor's activities. More than half
dealt with union faults or proposed
restriction on unions.
The famous Gallup polls, Myers
reveals, are conducted by "a closed
corporation controlled lock, stock
and barrel by George Gallup and a
silent partner in Chicago named
Harold Anderson. Anderson sells
! the poll results to newspapers"
The article in the union magazine
lists six conditions under which a
poll can be considered to accurate
ly reflect public opinion-if a fail
sample Of the population is asked
/ the question, if the question means
the same thing to everyone polled,
if the people who answer give an
honest reply which is recorded cor
rectly, if the answers are added
up correctly, and are reported with
out weighing, slanting or misin-
+ terpreting.
"Very few of today's polls can
get a passing mark on even half
the above conditions" Myers in
sists. He urges some form of reg
ulation by public bodies, so that the
details of how the polls are taken
and who is polled can be checked,
as well as the method of reporting
the results.
