Two-Months Meat
Strike Is Over

Chicago UPA) - After two
months of bitter industrial war
fare the strike of 100000 members
Of the United Packinghouse Work
ers is over. Workers are returning
to their jobs in plants of all the
"big four" and several score of in
dependent packinghouses except
those of Wilson & Co.
Settlement was finally agreed to
on the basis of a &c an hour pay
boost, retroactive to March 16,
when the strike began, retention
of ali seniority rights by strikers,
and arbitration on the rehiring Of
strikers accused of unlawful action
during the heated dispute.
Wilson & Co., refused to agree
to the third stipulation reserving
to itself the right to judge the
cases of all it thinks fought too
hard, and the strike against Wilson
continues.
The companies offered &c prior
to the outbreak of the strike and
have uniformly refused to bargain
in good faith on the basis of the
unions brief explaining its 29c an
hour demand. A Presidential fact
finding board set up when the
strike began conceded the reason
ableness of the unions case, but
even this did not bulge the profit
swollen packing industry in its de-
termination to hold wage raises
to a minimum.
Repeated efforts by the Federal
Mediation & Cancellation Service to
reach a settlement broke down on
the basis of corporation resistance.
From the start the "big four"
and their satellites were resolved
to use the strike to weaken if not
brake the union. Strike breakers
were recruited. No genuine bar
gaining was forthcoming. Friendly
local magistrates were successful
ly appealed to for anti-picketing in
functions.
Thruout the country local gov
ernment officials allied themselves
with the packers against UPW.
Literally scores of injunctions were
issued. In Kansas City police beat
up 10 strikers, and for weeks the
US Justice Dept ignored CIO.
President Philip Murray's demand
for an investigation.
But as the strike was ending q
subcommittee of the House Labor
Committee, headed by the insanely
anti-union Rep. Clare Hoffman (R.,
Mich.) arrived in Chicago to in
vestigate strike violence. The sub
committee was created in the midst
of the public outcry against the
Kansas City police brutality. But
by the time Hoffman got moving
he had turned it into an investiga
ton of picket line incidents.
In two states-Iowa and Mime
Guard units, complete
with tanks and local brasshats were
called out against the packing
house workers. 1t is the first case
of national guard interference since
before World War III.
The justice of the strikers case
was attested to by both Catholic
and Protestant religious leaders.
But the combined weight of meat
combine and subservient local au-
thorities was too much for the
strikers whose families have to
eat. ~

aver, they beat the company''s at

Washington (LPA) ~ Governor
Earl Warren of California has or

the shooting which injured Presi-
dent James Price of Local 2lS,

dence of one Of the union mem
bers. Suddenly five shots were fired
thru a window President James
Price was shot thru the head, and
is in Kern County Hospital. The
other men and women escaped in
jury as four bullets went wild.
at was obviously an attempt at
assassination" Gov. Warren assert
ed. "Such diabolical acts call for
the full force Of the law being
brought to bear against those who
are responsible for them. | have
therefore requested the attorney
general to make complete inves-
tigation Of the crime and to assist
the sheriff and district attorney in
every way possible, and report the
results Of the investigation to me-"
The Natl Farm Labor Union has
offered a $1,000 reward for infor-
nation leading TO arrest and con-
viction Of the would-be murderer.
NFLU President H. L. Mitchell as
serts at was a planned job done

groups quite capable Of an at
tempt to assassinate leaders Of our
organization. The three he named
are: management Of the Di Giorgio
Corp, the Associated Farmers of
California, Inc, and Communist
agents Of the CP controlled Food,

Earlier, AFL President Will
liam Green had wired Warren: I'm

urge you to order an immediate
into the shooting"
81 am informed that Price was
presiding at a peaceful meeting of
the strike committee inside the pri-
vate cottage Of one Of the union
members in Arvin," the AFL presi-
dent reported, "when five shots
were fired into the room. One bull
let struck the local union leader in
the head.
"This brutal assault climaxing
the cruel and fascist methods used
to break the Di Giorgio strike is
too grave a matter for local police
to handle. earnestly call upon you
to supersede them with an investi-
cation by state law enforcement
agencies. This investigation should
not only the shooting
but all the oppressive and intimi-
dating efforts to break this strike
which have flouted justice and the
law"

milton. The giant corporation =

Atomic Pldnt
Strike Looms
For June 9TH

Washington (LPA)-In the face
Of a June z strike date, there is q
deadlock between the Carbide &
Carbon Chemical, Corp, and the
Atomic Trades & Labor Council.
AFL over contract at the OAK
Ridge National Laboratory. A
Presidential fact-finding board re-
ported last week that no progress
had been made during so day
cooling off period"
The AFL unions involved charge
that the Atomic Energy Commits
sion has full power to avert a cri-
sis at the Laboratory but has fail
ed to take action. Acc head David
+. Lilienthal takes the position that
Carbide Corp, has full power to
handle its own labor disputes.
The situation has shaped up this
way:
On March /, Carbide & Carbon
took over the management Of the
Oak Ridge laboratory from Mon
santo Chemical Co. When it came
to signing contract, Carbide
wanted to lower the standards un-
der which 500 production workers
and 200 research people had been
working.
When bargaining had failed COM
.pletely, the Atomic Trades & Labor
Council announced that they would
strike, if necessary, to prevent the
lowering of working conditions at
the laboratory.
At that point, President Truman,
for the first time, used his powers
under the Taft Hartley Act to set
up a fact-finding board to investi-
gate the situation. The board re-
ported that a strike was pending
that endangered the national safe
ty, so a Federal Court issued an in
junction preventing the union from
striking.
The injunction has been in force
for sixty days now, during which
time the Federal Mediation & Con-
ciliation Service has ATTEMPTED to
settle the dispute but without sue
cess.
The next step under Taft-Hart-
ley is for the NLRB to hold vote
asking the employees of the labora-
tory whether they are willing to
accept Carbide's offer. If they are
not willing to accept the offer they
will be free to strike on June 7.
The AFL unions, while trying to
negotiate, also asked the Acc to
set up a uniform program of labor
conditions for the atomic plants.
Lilienthal has refused, saying that
contractors must make their own
decisions in operating atomic
plants.
Kenneth Scott, representing the
Atomic Trades & Labor Council,
said that he was amazed at Lilien-
thals statement to the fact-find-
ing board. 'In effect" said Scott,
she backed the company in its eff
fort to blackjack the 900 workers
into accepting conditions worse
than they have now. Here was the
government, instead of exercising
authority over its own plants, Civ
ing carte blanche to the private
contractors"
"Our members are aroused" he
added, "and / know they won't ac-
cept any distinctions of the gains
they have made. They don't want to
strike, but unless a solution is
worked out they may have no al
tentative"

Roll Tdlks Are Suspended
In dustrY Refuses Good
Fdith Bargaining Offers

washington (LHA) - AS CnelF
lawyers prepared to fight long
term anti-strike, injunction, last
week the chiefs of three embattled
railway unions terminated anoth-
er round n their fight to make rail
management bargaining in good
faith.
Following the nominal seizure of
the railroads by the Army, a fed
eral court issued ii temporary anti
strike order against the Engineers 4,
the Firemen's and the Switchmen's
Unions. The brotherhoods immedi-
ately stated that they would obey
the court order, altho they doubt
it's legality.
Then they settled down to anoth-
er long drawn out series of meet
ings with railroad managers.
But again the industry refused to
bargain in good faith. Concession
after concession was offered by the
union leaders - combinations of
downward revisions of demands.
Not single counter offer was
Forthcoming from the employers.
Finally their reply was: "You
know the emergency board report;
take it or leave it."
This is the report that the unions
rejected before issuing their strike
notices. AS the three presidents,
Alvanley Johnston of the Engi-
neers, David Robertson of the Fire
men, and A. j. Glover of the
Switchmen, remarked in their press
conference after the phoney nego-
tiations were over: "That is not
bargaining, and it is obvious that at
no time during the four days did
management have any intention of
bargaining either in spirit or in
fact.'s
This week Judge T. Allan Colds
borough, the man the miners know
so well, will hear the unions and
the government contest the legality
of the governments request for a
long-term injunction against a rail
strike.
1t is the hope of this injunction,
the rail labor chiefs believe, that
stiffens management in it's refusal
to bargain. They charge that the
employers "are determined that the
voluntary spirit of the Railway La
Dor Act shall be converted into
compulsion."
Management recalcitrance has
not been limited to the wage issue.
1t has stood just as firm against
union demands for changes in
working rules.
The emergency board report call
cd for a 15Hc wage increase, and
denied most of the working rules
changes the unions have, asked for.
4eThese rules may mean the diff
ference between equal pay for men
doing similar work, and inequitable
differences between groups of en-
ployes. Sometimes they mean the
difference between an engineman's
sleeping in a decent bed, or work
ing a schedule which forces him to
spend his sleeping hours in
freight engine.
1t was men who don't under
stand these rules who wrote the
government report the union lead
ers point out.

East Slider
Wins Success
By Haskell Cohen
(Copyright, 1s4S, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)

Sitting in his office on the
eightieth floor of the Empire State
Building, Maurice Podoloff, prexy
of the Basketball Association of
America loop and the American
Hockey League, sometimes looks
down on the peaceful East River
which flows practically outside his
door and muses. of the day, many
many years ago, when he landed
on these shores and settled not
too far away from his present Of
flee site. Of course, Podoloff
doesn't exactly remember that day
since he was only a babe of six
months.
Pere Podoloff and brood settled
on the East Side that day, many
many years ago, and Podoloff
smiles when he tells how his father
was down to his last dime. The
family reached the East with but
dime. Mrs. Podoloff bought a
bread, soaked it in water and put
it out to dry on the window sill.
Maurice Podoloff has come long
way since that day and has never
wanted for piece of bread albeit
he has had to work, and work
hard at times to earn his keep.
Podoloff is a short stocky man
with rapid manner of speech.
He talks in bursts but very lucidly
and often, in talking to Jewish
people, reverts into the idiom of
his parents and landsleit. He turns
a neat Yiddish phrase and really
has a flair for putting across a
point with a Yiddish remark.
Pride in His Father
Unfortunately his business deal
ings, today, are with men attuned
to sports, and who have long for
gotten or never heard the "Mama
Loschen" spoken. Evidently Mr..
Podoloff was at ease when we in
terviewed him recently and there
fore let loose with several choice
phrases which we, too, have not
heard uttered in years. 1t always
surprises this corner to meet with
a prominent Jewish personality
who spouts Yiddish quite fluently.
The B.A.A. prexy is quite proud
of his fathers achievement in be-
coming a large realty dealer in
New Haven, Conn. Now there is
nothing uncommon about real
estate people of Jewish extraction.
We all know several successful
realtors who turn over large
estates every day in almost every
large city in the country. But
Pere Podoloff was quite different
from most realtors.
After finally settling in New
Haven he was appointed to buy
up land for Yale University. Hir-
ing Jew for that purpose created
considerable talk in Connecticut
and no doubt made many envious
of the Jewish immigrant who had
been selected for the job.
