Benjamin Fine declares in Feb
ruary Negro Digest that school
facilities for Negroes in most
dual states is a disgrace TO U. S.
democracy.
Frequently in dual states,
Fine says, "the Negro Child does
not have an equal opportunity
with whites, His teachers are far
less competent, receive substan-
TALLY lower salaries, The equip
ment and supplies are meager
and obsolete, the school
plants are inadequate. And no
matter how bad it is in cities, the
set-up for Negroes in rural areas
is far worse.
Very often" the Negro article
continues, THE Negro student
cannot 90 farther than the seven
tn grade, And out of 100000 Ne
groes in 18 states there are only
10000 colored candidates for grad
uatlon each year
North Carolina is pointed out
by Fine as an exception to the
general practise by Southern
states of RELOCATING Negro educa-
ton to a degenerate back seat,
and has gone far toward elimin-
ating discriminatory distribution
Of funds. Most other states in the
South allow far more for white
than for colored. In Mississippi
6066 per cent more is spent on
each white student than on Ne
gro.
In many instances, Fine asserts,
Negroes are given condemned
buildings for school houses. Rain
pours through the roofs u sweeps
into the doors, heat is bad or nom
existant, there are no light, and
in some even blackboards, desks
and school books are not provid-
ed.

Eagles Not
In Favor Of
Open Shop

BOSTON (LPA) - The state
convention of the Fraternal Or
der of Eagles went on record
last week against the compul-
sorry open shop law that is being
submitted to the people of the
Bay State for a referendum vote
in November.
The fraternity, of which many
trade unionistS are members,
said that the purpose of the at
tack upon union security con-
tracts is nothing less than the
absolute destruction of the or
ganized labor movement" 49,.
"The Fraternal Order of Ea-
giles, composed of all classes of
citizens interested in and working
for the welfare and continued
prosperity of the citizenry as a
whole, believes that this legisla-
ton is a step backward in indus
trial relations, and is against the
best interest of the people of the
state," the resolution said.

Divide NLRB
Three To One
For Trapping Outfit
Refuses To Bargain

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
Taft-Hartleyized NLRB has some
tough problems to handle. One
stickler the board solved last
week resolved around whether
or not muskrats are wild animals.
Three of the boards members
said they are, while j. Copeland
Gray maintained the furry beasts
must be classed with domestic
livestock.
A KnOtty Problem
This knotty problem was posed
by the refusal of Steinberg & Co.,
a fur trapping outfit in Louisiana
to bargain with the Int'l Fur
Workers-CIO, and its attempts
to discourage the organization OF
its employees.
The trappers whom Steinberg
employs not only have to catch
the willy beasts, but have to keep
up the muskrats' bree d i n
grounds. Gray thought tn
makes muskrats legally compar-
able to ordinary arm animals.
Principal Job
But the majority of the board
held that the trappers' principal
job is ito trap and onsnare musk
rats which roam wild in the
marshlands." Therefore, the trap
pers are not agricultural work
ers - a category whose right to
organize is not recognized by
federal law.
The NLRB majority noted that
while muskrats are sort of look
ed out for by the industry which
wants to make fur coats out o1
them, it doesn't raise" them as
farm animals are raised" So
the board has ordered Steinberg
to stop trying to prevent the or
ganization of its employees.
Incidentally, the boards stury
of the muskrat runs to 102 pages

Output Per
Man Greater
Auto. Steel. PaPer
Mark Increases

NEW YORK (LPA)-Output
per man of work is greater than
is was a year ago. In heavy in
dustrieS the increased produc-
ton of labor is particularly
noticeable. Good labor relations
and union cooperation" were
cited as necessary to better pro-
duction rates by some of the
corporations which furnished
data for the National Industrial
Conference Board study released
last week.
Over two-thirds of the cor
porations reported said that out
put had increased over ,1947
while only 1919 noted decline
Among the industries in which
the increase has been marked
are auto, steel, industrial ma
chinery and machine tools, Of
flee equipment and paper. Nc
change in productivity was re-
ported by the leather and textile
industries.
Compared with pre-war years
however, the increased output
is not so notable. About 61%
reported increases over the
1939-41 averages, while 2o%
observed declines.
A few corporations said thai
good relations with unions were
an important factor in improV'
ing their efficiency. Many more
implied that sound labor rela'
tions were necessary to indus
trial progress.
Most often cited factor in the
improvement, however, was new
and improved tools and equip
ment. Some companies said tha
adoption of incentive wage plan:
had helped, and a number men
toned the low rate of labor
turnover this year as important
A number of instances are re-
ported where a reduced wort
week was accompanied by a rise

when the 200-member Ford
council of the UAW voted to
reject the company's final
offer, and authorized Ford dl-
rector Kenneth Bannon to set a
strike date.
The union was & r e a 1y
strengthened last week by two
developments: First: UAW Pres
ident Walter Reuther, bed-rid-
den for months after an attempt
was made to kill him, took part
in the negotiations. However,
Reuther left in disgust, charging
Ford management with fight
ing theoretical windmills."
In addition, the landslide vote
in an NLRB union shop election
"a $50 majority of the valid
votes cast were for the UAW-
was seen as an indication of the
unions p a k strength in the
giant Ford establishment. The
nationwide poll, in which 3d.
989 were eligible to vote, result
ed in 98,943 for UAW union
shop, only 1914 in the whole
country against the union shop,
421 void ballots, and 924 ballots
challenged by the company.
Bannon and Chairman Gene
Prato of the unions Ford nego-
tiating committee charged that
Focd's last offer is made
quate to meet the needs of the
Ford workers and leaves Ford
economic labor standards still
below those of its competitors.
After presenting its proposal to
the union, the company broke
off negotiations by refusing to
consi d er union counter-pro-
posals.
The UAW men point out that
Ford's 13c offer "does not take

is no doubt that candlQdLe
Dewey will be embarrassed
by its meeting.
Out For Labor Vote
The COP candidate had hoped
to campaign, particularly in
states with large labor vote, on
his own spotty record as govern
or of New York rather than on
the all black record of his parti-
sans in the 80th Congress. Now
it'll be impossible for the Repub-
lican chief to separate himself
from his primitive, reactionary
supporters.
Last week, before Truman
called the legislators back from
home, Dewey met with Mr.. Re-
publican - Sen. Robert Taft -
his principal rival at the COP
convention, and still the most
important Republican leader in
the Senate.
Against Price Control
Taft told Dewey that he was
still opposed to any form of ra-
tioning or price control. These
issues are sure to be posed when
the special session conveneS.
On only one issue which Tru-
man wants considered is there
any chance that the titular lead
er of the Republican party will
give him any help. Dewey too
thinks the 80th Congress legis-
lation for displaced persons is
"too restrictive.

into account recent and continu-
ing increases in the cost of liv-
ing since earlier settlements by
other m a jor automobile COM
panies; nor does it take into
count the competitive ad-
vantage enjoyed by the Ford
Motor Co. because of the lag
of two months or more behind
its competitors in granting wage
increases.
There are major "Shortcom-
ings" to the Ford offer on social
security, including the fact that
nearly all the cost is borne by
the workers themselves, the in
creased benefits aren't in pro-
portion to the cost of living, the
plan would be administered en-
tirely by the company, and the
company refuses to say how
much 1T would pay under the
plan as its contribution.
The union also finds fault
with vacation pay for veterans
provisions, which are still way
below those provided by Ford's
competitors, and says that the
company seeks to shut off until
1850 any discussion of the con-
tract other than job wage rates.
