Teachers Union In Minneapolis
 Wins Increase

Minneapolis LPA)-Over 75,OOO school children had their extra vaca- tion cut off at the end of 27 days last week, as their teachers, victorious over the Board of Education, return ed to the class rooms. The American Federation of Teachers-AFL members won pay increases of $40 a month for the rest of the school year, and a chance to make up half of the time they lost on strike.
 For Minneapolis children, even though many of them may not ap. preciate it right now, the teachers won victory too. The Board of Education agreed to abandon its "ecOnOmy plan" to shorten the regular school year by four weeks.
 In a mass meeting the two AFL locals, whose total membership num- berS over HOO, overwhelmingly ac- cepted the new agreement. Had the Board of Education scheme of cut ting the school year been accepted, their wages would have been cut l0%

Weakened Rent Control Law Before Truman

WASHINGTON -FP)- Here are the chief provisions of the new trent control' law. The measure, worked out in hectic 1ast-minute con- ference between House and Senate members, puts final authority for area percentage rent ceiling boosts or total decontrol of a rent area in the hands of special federal court. Called an emergency court of appeals, the body would be named by the Chief Justice of the U.S., and would review deci- sions of the federal rent administrator and recommendations of rent advisory boards.
 Under the 1947 rent law, the ad- ministrator had the power to deny recommendations of local boards when he found them inconsistent with the stated purpose of the law, namely to protect tenants from rent gOuging. Housing Expediter Tighe k. Woods, who doubled as rent ad- ministrator, aroused the anger of real estate and landlord interests by turning down many calls for area CCAAlS HAACS duU uCCOHtFOAe
 The House bill knocked out the ad- ministrators power to overrule the area boards, but the Senate insisted the federal administrator retain this power. The special court idea was adopted as nasty compromise.
 Other provisions of the conference version of the bill
 1. Continuation of federal control through March 1949.
 2. Renewal of the so-called volun- tary blackjack clause, under which landlords are allowed to charge 15% over the current rent ceiling if they persuade tenants to sign leases run ming into 1850 or longer.
 5. Lifting all restrictions on con- struction of amusement buildings.
 4. Ending rent control on rooms in private houses.
 5. Providing several grounds on which landlords may evict tenants on 60-day notice.

Yale
 Unity Brought On By Union

NEW YORK-(FP)-Society an- nuals will record 1948 as the year when the common people-union mem 6ers at caused Harvard and Yale men to abandon their sacred tra- dltlon ot patronizing separate clubs.
 The earth-shaking development was brought about by members of Local 6, Hotel & Restaurant Elm. ployes Intl. Union (AFL) who made the revolutionary proposal that Harvard Club employees be granted 4O-hour, 5-day week.
 Harvard Club managers were SO ap- palled at the suggestion that they re- fused even to discuss it. With their contract having expired and negotia- tions stalemated, club members held a stop-Work meeting to consider their next move. Meanwhile, club managers locked out the 146 workers.
 Club employees immediately es. tablished picketline, leaving many of the Harvard alumni with no choice but to make their own beds or go home to the wife. Others, apparently sensing the foundations of society had already been shaken, abandoned their scruples and started eating at the Yale Club.
 The union bargains with an ap- pointed club manager but must also reckon with the big business heads of the club. President is George Whitney of J. P. Morgan & Co.
 With 146 members locked out, the union has staged several mass picket lines around the club. The 40-hour week is the key demand. Only kitchen workers now have a 40-hour week, with others working 45 or AS hours. The union is seeking a 10%o increase for the kitchen workers and group in- surance for all Local 6 has had a contract with the club since 1o4O and has contracts with 39 other clubs here.

Ball Wage-Hour Bill Rides Off In 2 Directions

WASHINGTON-(FP)-A long expected Republican move to make a token increase in the federal minimum wage while weakening other provl- sions of the wage-hour law was started last week by Sen. Joseph Ball (R., Minn.).
 The Minnesotan, one of the key men in the framing of the Taft Hartley law, introduced an amend ment bill, S. 2386. Hearings on this measure and others affecting the wage-hour act will begin April 9 before the Senate labor commit tee.
 The Ball bill would raise the legal minimum from 40c to 60c, after or ganized labor has been demanding a boost to at least 75c. It would re- establish industry committees which would be empowered to raise the wage floor as high as 70c in some fields and to lower 1t to Soc. It also permits hir- ing of learners at the rate of soc for the first 160 hours (four weeks) on the job.
 s. 2386 would prevent federal wage-hOur protection to any em- ployes in agricultural and agricul- tural processing plants, increases the exemption of retail trade work CTS, and exempts all workers earn ing more than $IOO weekly. It makes no change in exemptions now applying to executive, admin istrative and professional jobs.
 The measure also amends the Walsh-Healey public contracts act tc provide limit of two years beyond which back pay claims may not be pressed.
