Millions To Protect Gains

referendum, for the purpose of de-
fraying expenses in contesting
strikes brought upon the union un-
der the auspices by the 'Taft-H Hart
ley law.
Columbia Typographical Union,

recommendation. AS one member

"Your money or your union" Prin-
ters, O'Connor says, have never
hesitated to preserve and protect
their union.
Employers are taking advantage
of the provisions of the law, says
O'Connor, with appeals to the MI
RIB, and are either trying to bust
the union or its treasury, both of
which, he says, add up to the same
thing.

First Series Match

Richmond, Calf. - The regular
meeting Of Local Union SO was
held over until January 19, in ord
er to obtain a larger hall which
was necessary to accommodate the
large turnout anxious to hear the
report of the delegates to the sani-
tary conference in New York.
An excellent report of the pro-
ceedings was made, and the men,
bers were well pleased at the re-
suits. The opinion seemed to be
that the propositions drawn up
were of a fair nature, and that the
heads of the Standard Sanitary
would not turn a deaf ear on any
reasonable proposition, so much
hope is held for our next contract.
The officers for the new term
were elected and include Rex Nor
gan, president, who has held the
presiding post since 1913; Sal Fres-
chi, vice president; ]. Sargent, fl
nancial secretary; c. Andrus, re-
cording secretary; Martin Glass,
guard, and Fred (Red) Hayes and

The International Typographical
Union will raise as much as $50
million to protect gains secured in
the past 1872 years, if necessary,
declared James j. O'Connor, presi-
dent of Columbia Typographical
Union.
O'Connor points out that the ITU
spent Sc million to win the 8-hour
day in 1906 and SIT million for
the 44-hour week in 1921-1922, and
that members will raise twice that
amount if it is needed to continue
the existence of the union with all
the gains accumulated through the
years.
James J. O'Connor, president of
the local Typographical Union, in
his monthly report to members,
which is distributed to all mem
bers, urged them to vote for the

WHITNEY-TRUMAN
END THEIR FIGHT

that the railway leader was not
welded to peas policy. He en-
dorsed the Marshall Plan, which
they loudly oppose.
Whitney's visit to the White
House followed the reading to the
Pea convention in Chicago of his
letter of resignation as one Of it's
vice-chairmen. The formal recon-
ciliation was arranged by Sen. j.
Howard McGrath Democratic Par
ty chairman.
McGrath, who sat beaming be-
side Whitney during the BRIT
heads press conference following
the White House visit, was asked
if he planned to contact BARLEY
Crum, Frank Kingdom and other
ex-PCAers. "I'm mending every
fence | possibly can," he replied.
Whitney told reporters that in
flation and Taft Hartley would be
the two big issues in the election,
and that he is confident that Tru-
man can win over the Republicans.
In Congressional elections the
Trainmen's chief will support the
most liberal of the major party
candidates in the field-even
man who voted for Taft-Hartley
if his opponent is even worse, he
said.
81 have never been out of the
Democratic Party" Whitney said.
He added that he hopes the Repub-
licans nominate Senator Taft, as
"He'd be the softest to beat"

Washington (LPA)-"We are liv-
ing only for the present and the
future" President A. F. Whitney,
of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, said as he left the White
House last week after pledging his
support to Harry Truman, the man
he once swore to use the Brother
hoods treasury to defeat.
President Truman was equally
ready to let by-gones be by-gones.
"Al, it never should have happen
ed," he was quoted as saying.
In May 1916, when the BRIT was
one of two railway brotherhoods
to reject the Presidents proposals
for a strike settlement. Whitney
had called Truman "a political acci-
dent and a one-termer." Truman
replied, then, that Whitney was
guilty of obstinate arrogance"
Truman's threat to call out
troops to break the railway strike
led Whitney to join Progressive
Citizens of America, now Henry
Wallace's sponsoring organization.
He even persuaded the Brotherhood
to vote Pea $4,000.
In December 1947, Whitney re-
he had tried to dissuade
Henry Wallace from running on
third party ticket which in his
opinion can only serve to "divide
the liberals" Even prior to the open
break between Whitney and the

to be issued. The AFL is expected
to stress the Importance Of labor
participation in the administration
Of the program.
Green's endorsement Of the so
cial welfare provisions of Presi-
dent Truman's state of the union
message to Congress is sure to
be echoed by the 15-man top board.
Crucial issues about which there
is still much speculation are price
controls and UNIT.
To date the ALF has refrained
from endorsing a full program Of
government administered controls,
but fear of still more inflationary
price spurts may result in the Fed
eration's endorsing Truman's pro-
gram or something very similar to
it.
Traditionally the AFL has op-
posed peace-time compulsory mill
tary training. Recently some AFL
leaders, however, have privately
voiced support for the pending uni
versal military training legislation.

Address Delivered By President Duffy
At Conclusion Of Hemisphere Meeting

Speaking for the United States
delegation at the conclusion of the
hemisphere meeting for the forma-
ton of an Inter-American Confer
ence of Labor, the following adj
dress verbatim was delivered by
President James NJ. Duffy.
"After four days of hard work
in plenary sessions and in commits
sions we can truly say that this
has been an historic conference IN
the annals of world labor. The
epoch-making character of our Con-
ference was dramatized by the COM
plete failure of the enemies of la
Dor to disrupt our meeting.
"The accomplishments of this
can hardly be exagger-
ated. The international conferences
of governments can well learn from
democratic labor how to conduct
a successful conference.
despite differences in countries
of origin, and even in language we
have learned how to work together
for common goals and objectives.
Despite every attempt to dis
rupt our conference by malicious
and lying propaganda, we have sue
ceeded in establishing a Latin
American organization of demo-
cratic labor.

road Unions have been the target

Dowden, President
Of Local Union 90
At Grafton, W. Va.

Grafton, w. Va.-The following
officers have been installed by Lo-
cal Union SO for the new term:
President, George Dowden; vice
president, E. V. Cough; financial
secretary-tfeasurer, Ella Cough; re-
cording secretary, Martha Hines;
inspector, Helen Bysiek; guard,
Virginia Haller; defense secretary,
Lula Reed; statistician, William
Glover; trustees, Robert Baylen,
Dorothy Lake and Teddy Heddick;
shop committee, Ed. Thinner, Mil
dred, Irwin A. Singleton.
Due to a switch over from gas
to oil for firing the gloss kiln, pro-
duction has slowed up somewhat.
However, there is nothing to be
alarmed about regarding steady
work as we hear the firm has a
large log of back orders on hand.
The plant in the near future will
be as modern as any throughout
the industry. Modern equipment is
being installed rapidly including a
new tunnel kiln, sand vibrator,
spraying machine, automatic jig
ger and new lining machine. Also
new driers for jiggermen which we
understand will do away with one
boy.
With all the above improvements,
there still remains a further step
to be taken by the firm before they
are classified with other plants
throughout the trade, and that is
the necessary equipment to ad-
minister aluminium therapy treat
ments. We hope this will be done
in the near future.
The attendance at our last few
meetings has been very good and
we sincerely hope this will continue.
The benefits gained through this
medium are far too numerous to
mention here, but | am sure from
recent experiences, every member
of the Local can see the necessity
of attending meetings regularly.
Although it is only the beginning
of the new year, the boys in the
shop are beginning to talk about
outboard motors and how many
fish they will catch this year. Bro.

the close of the season. Finding it
buried under a heavy snow Tally
began digging for his cabana. He
finally succeeded in raising a

More Affidavits Filed
Under Taft-Hartley Law

Washington, D. C.-The num-
Der of non-Communist affidavits
filed by unions under the Taft
Hartley law has doubled since No
vember, it was reported.
Representative Gerald Lands
disclosed that the NLRB has re-
ceived a total of 29,418 affidavits
from officers of AFL, CIO and in
dependent unions. The most recent
tabulation announced by the board
dated Nov. 5, listed a total of H.
098.
Mr.. Lands said affidavits had
been received from 20,934 local and
international officers of AFL

Attendance Jumps
so AT Meeting Of
Local Union No. 81

! Trenton, N. 1.-THE sliding scale
used by our statistician, Frank
Locket, showed the attendance had
jumped 5 per cent over the previous
month. We greatly appreciate this
new interest and hope it will con-
tinue to rise in the months to come.
Vice President Wheatley was a
recent visitor in our midst and was
present at our last meeting. His
visits are always appreciated and
tend to instill a new spirit within
our ranks. He urged the members
to cooperate in the plant and the
Local meetings in order to accom-
plish whatever they set out to do.
He also mentioned action taken at
the recent conference in New York,
formulating plans for progress
sive steps in our branch of the
trade.
Complaints were made by the
sprayers regarding the charge-back
system as still being very unfav-
orable to everyone. We hope some
relief along this line can be found
very soon.
Following the meeting lunch was
served including the necessary bev-
erage to wash down the crumbs.
These little socials are very much
enjoyed and should be held after
each meeting.
Since this is the first endeavor
of the writer to keep the trade
informed of the activities of Local
Union 81, l will promise from here
on in to be on the job and con-
tribute articles regularly to our
journal. We have the means
through the Herald to advance the
interests of all, so how about every
Local in the Brotherhood chain,
seeing to it that the o. C.'s from
their respective Local do likewise.

In spite of the delay in the de-

the ball diamond is ready to go and
the Farmers Union will go along
with the Midland Empire schedule
by playing all home games during
the twilight until the lights are

the longest of the year there will
be little difficulty in completing the
full nine innings of play before
dark. There is still work to be
done on the grandstand, but it is
far enough along to permit the first
thousand to sit comfortably and
with good view, but since there is
no screen as yet, one had better

Tuesday of next week at $50 the
Farmers Union meets Fromberg,

So that is a typical week of base
ball that will continue throughout
the summer, and with one consola-
ton: you don't have to drive to

Bill also suffered a badly twisted
ankle in the fifth inning while slid

to be taking it's toll of ball players
in this area this year.

since Red Lodge was tied with them
by percentage points before the
game, having Won it's only game
against Fromberg a week earlier.
