Also at stake in the case is a
new NLRB ruling buttressing the
Taft Hartley requirement that un-
ions must file the affdavits before
they can legally negotiate union
shop contracts.
This week NLRB threw out a un-
ion shop agreement between United
Steelworkers of America and c..
Hager & Sons Manufacturing Co.
of st Louis, because the anti Com
munist leadership of USA has, on
principled basis, refused to sign
the Communist disclaimers.
Inferentially, the board thereby
termed illegal the union shop
agreement between the United
Mine Workers and the coal opera
tors which contains a union shop
clause subject to the approval of
the "court of last resort" UNIV

COOP MARKET
OPEN EVENINGS

Greenbelt, Md. (LPA)-A COM
plete food supermarket, owned CO.
operatively by the residents of this
community, is pioneering with a
merchandising idea that is expect
ed to spread rapidly. The new mar
ket, opened at gala ceremonies last
week, is so completely self-service
that it will be possible to keep it
open Sundays and weekday even
ings by using a skeleton staff of
about three persons, instead of the
normal complement of 25.
Greenbelt Consumer Services op-
crates the shopping center in this
town, which was one of the New
Deal experiments in public housing
and community development. Since
the coop was organized in 1910, it
has returned more than 1000 to
its patrons in patronage dividends.
GCS operates, besides the food
market, a theatre, filing station,
and other retail establishments.
Employees of the supermarket are
members of AFL union.

Supreme Court Will Rule
On Tdft-Hdrtley Measure

Washington (LPA) - The Sup
RENE Court decided this week to
consider a test case on the consti-
tutionality of the non-Communist
affidavit section of the Taft-Hart-
ley law. This may not only reverse
a number of NLRB rulings, but al
so rid the 81st Congress of the nee
essity of doing anything about the
affidavit problem when it rewrites
federal labor legislation.
Bringing the test case into the
highest court is the American Com
munication Assn, which claims
that the affidavit requirement is
unconstitutional. The union is ap-
pealing the decree of special
three judge federal court which
upheld the "no-reds" provision.
Whether or not to rewrite the
affidavit section for inclusion in a
federal labor statute to replace
Taft Hartley is one of the most de-
bated questions among government
officials currently at work on the
problem of post-T-H legislation. If
the court finds the current provis-
ion unconstitutional the problem is

a creditable showing, the tellers
after summing up the totals re-
ported that Leta Jackson, Mary

Brown were chosen as delegates.
Work is picking up a little at

not far off, many will find it rather
difficult to do much gift buying un-

Sisters Virginia Minesinger and

made their report and were given
a vote of thanks for their services.
We hope they ironed out their
troubles satisfactorily and will re-

We were very glad to see the
male members present and hope
they will continue to be present at
each session. We do not have many

In the shop committee report the
case of Jerome Kawalerski, who
was discharged, was brought up
and the local is asking the firm fer
a hearing on his case.
Overtime was discussed at some
length and the local feels that any
one required to work overtime,
should if possible be notified "a
hours in advance. This will be
brought to the firms attention, AS
the firm does not want overtime
and it is not favored by most of our
members, it should be easy to come
to some agreement on this question.
The slip makers have agreed, to

New York (LPA)-Faced with
loss of contract status with both
the Metropolitan and Prudential
Life Insurance Companies, the ma
tional leadership of the United Of

Last August, at the request of

The ware and the grit gravitate
to the lower end of the tumbler,
where both fall upon another con-
veyor belt, with a mesh large
enough for the grit to fall through
to another conveyor belt which
takes it back to the high end of the
tumbler to start the same process
all over again. The sand that comes
! through with the grit falls into a
pit below the tumbler. The ware
goes along the belt where it is
stamped and stored for use.
The tumbling operation takes
place in an enclosed room and it
is in this room that the dust is TAX
en- care of. On the second floor is a
large box like affair, where a large
suction fan is mounted which con-
tinuously draws the dust laden air
from the tumbling room, cleans it,
and sends it outside.
The fine dust is caught in a trap
in the collector and is emptied at
the end of each day. The amount
collected varies from u to l bushel
of very fine dust per day.
The old method Of using the box
tumbler and exhausting the dust
from it by means of pipes which
carried some but not all of the dust
outside, and which if the wind was
in the right direction, blew it back
in the shop again, was very unsat-
isfactory both from a health and
economic view point.
This new tumbler with the dust
collector system keeps the ware
room absolutely free from dust
from this source, and in regards to
economy, the ware is cleaned as
fast as it can be fed into the ma
chine.
We here. at Buffalo Pottery be-
lieve this is a big step toward a
dust free shop, and we congratulate
the management, who by hard work
and over two years of experiment.
ing, have been able to make this
department free from this source
of dust.
We understand that this machine
is available to other potteries, and
we are sending this article along
to the Herald, with the hope that
if your plant is in need of some
thing of this type you are invited
to come and see the machine in
operation or drop a line to Buffalo
Pottery.

|ITU Complies
with Decree

indianapolis (LPA)-Int'l Typo
graphical Union-AFL Genera
Counsel Clarence Martin this week
filed sworn statements from the
union and four of its officers, say
ing that they are in compliance
with Judge Luther Swygert's de-
cree ordering the ITU to conform
to his Interpretation of the Taft
Hartley law.
The documents, drafted by other
union lawyers in Washington, were
signed by ITU President Woodruff
Randolph and other typo leaders in
Cincinnati, where they are attend
ing the AFL convention.
ITU has also instructed all of its
locals to comply with Swygert's
ruling. Martin said that last week
they were sent full text of the
court order, and instructions to fol-
low it in all negotiations.
Earlier in the week the federal
circuit court in Chicago withdrew
its ''stay order," which delayed en-
forcement of Judge Swygert's rul
ing that the ITU had violated his
original Taft-H a ri ley decision.
Swygert then gave the union four
days in which "to purge itself of
contempt"
The ITU had already notified its
locals that if the circuit court de-
cided to permit Swygert to enforce
his ruling they should Immediately

said, but he added "I'm not at all
sure that the present anti-strike
injunction approach is the right
one"
The Labor Secretary is confident
that the administration will be able
to get Congressional cooperation
in it's drive to fireplace the Taft
Hartley law with an entirely new
and just law"
He cited the fact that Sen. Ken
meth Mcclellan Cd. Tenn.), one of
the Democratic senators who sup
ported the anti-union law in the
80th Congress, has admitted that
the people have given Congress a
mandate" to repeal the statute.
Some Democrats who voted with
the COP for Taft Hartley had
reached that conclusion on the
basis of the laws operation even
before the election, Tobin asserted.
The Federal Mediation & Concil-
iation Service and the US Employ
ment Service should be returned to
the Labor Dept, Tobin insisted. He
remarked also that the admins
tration will ask the 81st Congress
for more funds for Bureau of La
Dor Statistics, which was one of the
prime targets for the COP 8Oth

Tobin's statement to his press
conference is the first authorita-
tive indication of how the Admin
istration proposes to replace Taft
Hartley.
The closed shop should be legal
lied again, the Secretary declared.
Even employers won't object to
eliminating the NLRB union shop
authorization polls," he added.
Tobin denied rumors that the
Labor Dept plans to call labor
management conference between
now and the time when Congress
tackles the Taft Hartley question.
When asked what he thought
about re-enacting the TIL provis-
ion that union heads must sign nom
Communist affidavits if their or
ganizations are to have access to
the NLRB, Tobin replied, "Its all
right by me if employers have to
file too."
The Presidents labor adviser
was unwilling to comment at length
on whether or not any unfair la
Dor practice" stipulations against
unions should be incorporated in
the "new and just" labor law which
he contemplates. He did say, how
ever, that the mandatory unfair
labor practice injunctions against
unions provided for in Taft Hartley
are entirely unfair.

TaftSaiIing For
Europe, Says TIL
Law Here To Stay

Washington. - Two days after
the election which resulted in the
crushing defeat of the Republican
Party, Senator Robert A. Taft, its
staunch defender of the repudiated
.80th Congress, sailed for Europe.
Interviewed aboard the Italian
liner Vulcania before he departed
for a 25-day vacation trip on which
he hopes to forget, the Senator had
several words of wisdom for report
ers who talked to him.
Despite the mandate from the
people for repeal of his obnoxious
"baby," the Hartley law, Mr..
Taft declared he doubted that the
law would be wiped off the statute
books. He predicted that at least
so Senator'S would vote against re-
peal of the law.
Asked about the possibility of
amendments to the law, he threw
back the usual COP party-line COM
ment.
"We are quite ready to consider
amendments" he said.
On politics, the senator played it
coy. Questioned on the Republican
picture for 1862, he replied:
"1'll first have to get reoriented." I"
Perhaps, from the dizzy heights
of the Swiss alps, Senator Taft may
be able to look back, as is his Gus
tom, and finally get the right per-
spective on the political scene in
the United States.

PRICES STILL RISING
FASTER THAN PAY

Washington (LPA)-Wage earn
ers are still on the short end of the
inflation-borne "wage-price spiral" /"
That's the report of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics on wages in
manufacturing industries and the
cost of living index.
In the three years since VI day,
total weekly pay of manufacturing
workers has risen 800. In the
same time, the consumers price
index has risen $50. Straight-time
hourly pay has risen 1870, but re-
ductions in the hours worked and
the larger numbers of workers en-
ployed in the lower-wage industries
have held down the weekly pay
average.

Millions Still
Hungry Despite
Record Crops

Washington (LPA)-The 1947-48
crop year was the best since the
war but millions are still hungry.
This is the picture which is pre-
sented in a survey of food condi-
tions and prospects presented to
the Good and Agricultural Organ
ization meeting here.
Why? Because world population
is increasing more rapidly than
production; because soil erosion inn
poverishes many lands; because
forest resources are being depict
ed; because low income countries
lack money for investment projects;
and because there is growing con-
cern in technically advanced coun-
tries as to whether markets can be
found for the surplus goods which
they are able to produce.
The hope seems to lie, according
to the survey, in the fact that the
world possesses enough technical
knowledge to reverse the trend,
thus bringing about substantial
increase in production. According
to FAC Director-General N. E.
Dodd, in his forward to the sur
vey, "The difficulties which stand
in the way of really rapid expan-
sion of production should be exam
ined more energetically by govern
ments, and decisions should be
taken which will enlarge the pro-
grams and facilitate their speedier
execution" What is now needed he
said, sis practical action"
