Workers More Interested
In Co-ops, MednY Reveals

New York 0PA)-"The sharp
rise in living costs has brought
home to our members the need fol
some means of combating price in
creases," George Meany, AFL Sec
retary-treasurer, said last week
I"and they are turning to consum-
er cooperatives as method wholly
in keeping with the American free
enterprise system and the demo-
cratic way of life"
Meany told the Cooperative Lea
que that 1947 marked an "upsurge
of interest in consumer coopera-
tives on the part of AFL local
unions, central bodies and state fed
erations of labor" He cited the
great increase in AFL members
participation in co-ops in New Eng
land and the middle Atlantic states.
The AFL secretary singled out
the Pennsylvania Federation of La
Dor for praise. 1t set up its own
cooperative committee which has
been flooded with requests for in
formation, literature, and help in
starting co-ops and credit unions.
At a statewide AFL coop confer
ence, 33 unions and 21 cooperatives
were represented.
AFL policy is to work closely
with existing cooperative organiza-
tions and WHOLESALERS. Meany said
that requests for information
about consumer cooperation receiv-
ed at the AFL national office are
referred to the WHOLESALERS, which
have been prompt in meeting the
requests Of local unions for advice
and assistance.
In the south and southwest, AFL
unions have assisted the co-ops in
extending their own organizations.
On the Pacific coast carpenters,
railway workers, retail clerks and
building workers have shown keen
interest in the co-ops. In some cases
union people have worked with
farm representatives in general CO.
operative purchasing programs.

SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
MUST BE MODERNIZED,
ADVISERS TELL SENATE

Washington (LPA)-The widen
ing gap between the cost of liv-
ing and the benefits paid under
the US social security system were
pointed up last week by the two
groups best qualified to label the
situation a "crisis."
The Advisory Council on Social
Security, made up of prominent
businessmen, bankers, farm and la
Dor spokesmen, reported to the Sen
ate Finance Committee that "lf
the people of the US are unable to
prevent steep increases in price
levels" social security benefits will
have to be readjusted to preserve
their purchasing power. Unless this
is done, the Council unanimously
warns, "the security guaranteed by
the social insurance plan will be
illusory."
Only one day later, Federal Sc
curity Administrator Oscar Ewing
stated that "A crisis has arisen
which has reached the breaking
point" for many elderly people,
widows and their families, who are
attempting to live on the old age
and survivors insurance benefits.
The Advisory Council has two
labor representatives = Nelson
Cruikshank for the AFL and Emil
Rieve for the CIO. The full coun-
Gil has now placed before the Sen
ate Finance Committee headed by
Rep. Eugene Millikin (R., Colo.)
% recommendation for improving
the old age and survivors benefits
program under the Social Secur-
ity Act.
A majority of the Senate body is
expected to be reluctant to move on
the proposals, which include:
1-Extension Of protection of the
benefits program to the self-em-
ployed, farm workers, household
workers, employees Of non-profit in
stitutions, federal civilian employees
and railroad workers with present
retirement systems and the Rail-
road Retirement Board represented
in working out a plan at least as
good as the present programs),

President Calls
ParIey To Better
Safety Program

Washington (LPA)-One work
er is injured on the job every sec.
ond of the day. And one is perma-
nently disabled every four min
utes. There were 100000 men anC
women injured on the job last
year.
A total of 1900 were killed
Another $1,000 were permanently
disabled.
These grim reminders that al
is not well with the accident-pre-
vention programs initiated by in
dustry, government, and labor, last
week led President Truman to ask
the Labor Dept to call for "early
fall" a national conference to re-
duce work deaths and injuries.
Acting Labor Secretary David
Morse announced that planning for
the conference will be headed up
by Director William l.. Connolly
Of the Bureau Of Labor Standards.
Connolly hopes to call in the labor
and management members of the
Safety Advisory Committee "early
next month" to consult with them
on the conference.
Organized labor's spokesmen or
this committee are: James Brown
low Of the Metal Trades Dept, AFLi
Nelson Cruikshank, AFL's director
of social insurance activities; John
r. Kumpel, United Rubber Work
ers-CIO; Harry Reed, assistant to
ICIO secretary-treasurer James
Carey.
GAS a nation" President Truman
wrote to Morse, eve cannot afford
this unnecessary drain on our pro-
ductive man power Nor can we af-
ford the billions of dollars each
year which these accidents cost our
businesses and our workers
The US, because of cooperative eff
fort, was the only great industrial
nation to reduce accidents in the
midst of war. | am sure that we
can do as we'll in the years ahead" "
Morse indicated that he agreed
with President Truman that "the
primary objective, at this time,
should be a concentrated and Co
ordinated effort by everyone CON
cerned-management, labor, volun-
tary safety organizations, and state
and federal labor departments"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-05-06

members of the armed forces, and
on a voluntary basis to employees
of state and local governments. All
told, more than 100000 addition
al workers would be covered.
! 2-Nearly double the average
benefits paid under the program.
Immediate payment of benefits run
ming from $40 a month to $78.75
for retired workers, in place of the
present range of SO to $44.80. In
a few years, under the proposed
levels, retired male workers who
are single would average $50 a
month; retired workers and their
wives would average about $685.;
and widows with two children
would average about 500 a month.
3--Raise the taxes on employers
and employees to finance the pro-
gram from / per cent each to w
per cent each, with the self-em-
ployed paying 2H per cent.
MAKE it easier for older work
ers, who retire after only a few
years under the system, to quail
fly for benefits and to obtain bene-
fits that would support them with
out further public assistance.
The Advisory Councils proposals
for coverage of railroad employees
are worded very carefully: "The
Congress should direct the Social
Security Administration and the
Railroad Retirement Board to un-
dertake a study to determine the
most practicable and equitable
method of making the railroad re-
tirement system supplementary to
the basic old age and survivors in
surance program. Benefits and con
tributions of the railroad retire
ment system should be adjusted
to supplement the basic protection
afforded by old age and survivors
insurance, so that the combined
protection of the two programs
would at least equal that under
the Railroad Retirement Act.
The same safeguards are placed
in the proposal to cover civil service
employees, who now have indepen-
dent retirement systems.

Muchinisfs Back
B o oeing Strike

Seattle LPA)-The Int'l Asso-
citation of Machinistsun unaffiliated,
parent union of the Aero Mechan-
les Union, on strike against the
Boeing Airplane Co., of Seattle,
Wash, voted full support of the
Boeing strike last week, President
Harvey w. Brown announced.
lam reserved its action until
after committee of three inter-
national vice-presidents studied the
dispute and reported that the strik-
ers' position is sound-refuting the
distortions of the Seattle press.
The Aero Mechanics-14,000 of
them-make up District Lodge 75l
of the LAM walked out two weeks
ago after a years futile attempts
to arbitrate wages and all other
problems existing between them
and the Boeing concern.
All suggestions for arbitration
were rejected by the company-in-
cluding one that the Federal Media
ton q Cancellation Service or any
of Is distinguished citizens be
called in to pass on the issues. Boe-
ing flatly refused any arbitration
unless the union drop its demand
that any wage increase be retroac-
tive to the beginning of its at
tempts ut negotiation, and unless
it alone chose the arbitrator.
President Brown said that last
year the lam settled over 80 per
cent of its disputes without resort
to strike action, "but when a COM
pany insists on a test of strength
rather than peaceful decision on
the issues, the lam has no choice.
Once fight is started we are go
ing to stick to it, no matter how
long it takes"

More Jobs This
Summer Than AZ
Govt Man Soys

Washington (LPA) - The man
who handles the governments en-
ployment figures has looked at the
March reports, and come up with
some optimistic predictions. Evan
Clague, Commissioner of Labor
Statistics, last week had this to
say:
If things continue as at pres
ent, the US will top last years
peak of 60,000,0C0 job-holders this
summer.
2-Most of these workers who
will be added to the labor force be-
tween now and the summer months
will be drawn from the more than
100000 veterans who soon COM
plete their schooling, and from the
100000 women who had jobs last
March and this year are looking
for employment.
3-The west coast states continue
to show the highest proportion of
unemployed workers - seven in
every 100 persons covered by un-
employment insurance compared
with the national average of five
in 100.
4-The construction industry
reached its seasonal low in Feb
ruary. More than 100000 more
men worked for building contrac-
tors in March. This March, there
were 125,000 more construction
workers than in March 1947, "prob-
ably indicating the onset of very
active construction season"
5-All of these figures were for
the period before the coal miners
shutdown and the packinghouse
strike.
