WoII Urges Clio
To Leave WF1U

New York (LPA) = Matthew
Woll, AFL vice president and
chairman of it's international re-
lations committee, has been con-
tinuing his efforts to persuade ClO
President Philip Murray to with
draw the CIO from the World Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions, it was
revealed last week. He has repeat
edly charged that the WFU is
Communist dominated.
The AFL leader first wrote the
CIO chief on this subject May A.
and suggested that the CIO join
the AFL in setting up a new world
labor free of the 'pernicious fifth
column of the Kremlin dictators.
On May IS Murray replied that
he regretted the AFL's absence
from the WFTU, and said that "it
the AFL had joined with the CIC
in the WFTU the position of the
free unoins espousing a democratic
position within that organization
would have been strengthened"
This elected from VOL the com
ment that it would be unthinkable
for the AFL to enter an organiza-
ton in which Communicated unions
are active.
"When free trade unions like the
CIO enter into pacts or partner
ships or international alliances
with unions which are actually
departments of the totalitarian
Communist party, they only para
lie their own freedom and capac-
ity for action in behalf of the
cause of democracy and trade
unionism the world over," VOL
said.
The AFL leader concluded: "By
disassociating from the would-be
wreckers of the Marshall plan and
the Kremlin's Communist brigades
dominating the WFTU, the ClO
would render a great service not
only to the early attainment of the
unity of American labor but to the
cause of democracy and peace
everywhere" !"

Security Plan In
k-F Settlement

Detroit UPA)-The first social
security plan Of it's kind in the auto
industry was included in a settle
ment reached last week by the
Kaiser-Frazer Corp, and the Unit
ed Auto Workers. The corporation
will pay SC an hour per worker in
to a fund for sick, accident and
hospital benefits and life insurance
to be administered by a joint board
of company and union representa-
tives.
The settlement also includes a
13c wage increase on the Chrysler
pattern, covering 10000 hourly
rated workers. UAW also won 13c
pay raises last week from the
Studebaker Corp. and the Packard
Motor Car Co.
The K-F agreement also gave
1900 salaried workers a 9 per cent
raise with guarantee Of $22.5C
monthly. The Packard agreement
covering 10000 workers, extends
thru August /, 1850. Packard is
raising its car prices from $75 to
5000. Studebaker and Kaiser-Fra-
zer have not announced any price
increases.
Elsewhere in the auto industry

Unions Wins lie
Wage Increase

New York (LPA5-The United
Electrical Workers last week ac-
cepted an 8 per cent wage boost
for 125,OCO employees Of the Gen
eral Electric Co., and rejected a
6 per cent boost offered to West
inghouse workers.
The GE settlement ranges from
&c TO 15c an hour, with an average
of slightly over lie. The union had
asked either an lie settlement with
a cost-of-living escalator clause like
that in the General Motors contract
or a flat 13c raise as was granted
the Chrysler workers. The COM
pany. which for "a weeks had re-
fused to offer any raise at all, ex-
planned that it had changed its
policy because there was "an air Of
expectancy among the employees
after the auto wage settlements.
The GE contract runs for two
years with one wage reopening.
The Westinghouse offer was also
made to two other unions, the Init
Brotherhood Of Electrical Work
ers-AFL and the Federation of
Westinghouse Independent Salaried
Unions. Neither of these have re-
piled to the offer as yet.
UE also accepted a &c pay hike
last week for 700 employees of the
General Instrument Corp. in Eliza

ment-operated Children's Bureau.
DR.. Peraza tells us that Cuban
women differ much from women of
Latin-American countries. Their en-
ergy and initiative is probably due
to the fact that their Cuban ances-
tors mainly came from Andalusia,
Spain.
Although at the present time
only a small percentage of women
is engaged in business in Cuba,
the number is steadily increasing.
In the professions the proportion
of women to men is three to four
times higher than in the U. S.
It was not until 1884, under the
leadership of DR.. Grau San Martin,
the present president of Cuba, that
Cuban women acquired the right to
vote. Today 65 per cent of the vot-
ers in Cuban national elections are
women. In Cuba, voting is consid-
cred not only a right but duty,
and to skip voting is punishable
with a fine.
The great majority of Cuban wo-
men voters belong to the Cuban
Revolutionary party, founded at the
end of Machado's regime, and said
to be the most liberal political par
ty in the country.

Union Endorses
Truman After
Convention Talk

Spokane, Wash. (LPA) - The
Communications Workers of Am
rica-unaffiliated last week became
the first large international union
to endorse President Truman's
campaign for nomination and re-
election. The unions. second an
nual convention acted within "a
hours after Truman made a sur
prise appearance before the dele
gates.
81 understand that you are not
very happy about the Labor Act Of
1913 as it is now in effect" Tru-
man told the delegates, "but you

is November 1948."
He added that "if you continue
that law in effect, that is your
fault and not mine because | didn't
want it."
Delegates voted to alter CWA's
constitution to make it simpler to
vote to affiliate with either AFL
or CIO. They acted after President
Joseph Beirne in his opening re-
port had urged unity of all unions
within a single US federation. 81

time has arrived for US to submit
the question to our members"
The convention received tive
messages from the CIO. One, from
Secretary-Treasurer James b
Carey. was a wire reading: al

William Green wasn't Impress
SVast week by the Joint Labor
Management Committees attempts
to limit its hearings on the Taft
Hartley law to those phases Chair
man Joseph Ball (R., Mimi wants
to discuss. "This is not sound legis-
lative practice" he told Ball and
his colleagues. Then Green gave the
Committee one of the most COM
plete analyses of the Act it has
heard to date.
The Taft Hartley law "is so
thoroughly malignant that it is
wholly beyond remedy or cure,
short of repeal of the entire enact
ment placed on the law books in
August 1947," the AFL leader said.
He attacked the TIL requirement
of special NLRB polls prior to the
signing of union shop contract,
and the anti-laborites' claim that
union members don't agree with
their unions policies. Citing the
huge margins by which unions have
won the authorization ballots,
Green said: "This vote was vote
of confidence of union members in
their leadership"
1t demonstrates too, President
Green pointed out, the injustice OF
Taft Hartley's ban against the
closed shop. That the closed shop
is conductive to good industrial rela-
tions is proved by the history OF
the garment, construction, and pot
&y industries, Green said. All OF
0,se industries in which labor
nanagement cooperation has beer
outstanding have traditionally beer
closed-shops.
To the proposal from Committed
members to set up a series of la
Dor courts, or putting labor cases
into the regular courts, Green re
piled: "Surely the Committe mus
realize that the federal courts, al
ready overburdened, are ill-equip

ly complex and specialized field
The AFL leader had nothing bu

cause of strikes, he explained, an
neither the Taft Hartley law no
anything like it can help this sit
uation.
He called attention to the indus

ing trades to refute the claim tha

On the problem" of welfar
~nds, Green was brief and to tn
point: "The answer is simple: col
lective bargaining"
Of particular value was the az
pendix to President Green's test
mony which analyses the effect G
Taft Hartley, as it now stands
upon collective bargaining.

GLAMOR

This is the time of year to have
your winter things cleaned and
stored and to start filling your
clothes closets with nice fresh
washables and summer silks, but
before you do, make sure your clos
cts are clean and insect proof.
Remove everything and spray the
walls, woodwork, baseboards and
shelves with DDT. An oil spray is
best because it does not leave q
white deposit as water spray
does. A residual spray, one that
leaves a lasting film, is better than
the aeresol bomb type of spray be-
cause it is effective over the
months in killing insects which
come in contact with closet sur
faces. the aeresol sprays kill fly
ing insects or those which happen
to be exposed at the time, but they
are without lasting effect be-
cause they leave little or no resi-
due.
DDT solutions may be sprayed
lightly on wool clothes without in
juring the fabric. Too much of the
solution may show up in whitisE
traces on dark clothes but these can
be removed by brushing.
DDT is recommended for protect
ing clothes hanging in closets while
crystals or moth flakes are advised
for clothes stored in tight bags
trunks or other containers where
a fumigating effect is desired.
Sneak previews of fall clothes
collections indicate that the new
look will be old-fashioned by au-

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

Summer is picnic season and
salad season and a great many
eggs are hard-boiled for both. The
fastest and easiest way of shelling
a hardcooked egg is to cool it inn
mediately under running water,
crack shell by tapping against firm
object, and begin peeling under
water at large end where air space
is under the shell.
The cold water helps ease off the
shell land washes away shell parti-
cles. Prompt cooling after cook
ing helps prevent the dark ring
which sometimes appears around
the yolk of a hard cooked egg. The
dark ring can be prevented entire
ly by cooking egg at very low tenn
perature and chilling thoroughly
afterwards.
When making jelly or preserves
pour into glasses without skim
ming. By the time the last glass
has been poured the first will be
cool enough to skim. This is much
easier than trying to skim the jel-
ly or preserves in the cooking ket-
tie.
An excellent way to use up that
stale bread is to make a cheese
loaf. 1t is good tasting and nutri-
tious and the use of milk and
cheese supplies good share Of the
recommended daily allowance Of
protein, vitamins and minerals. To
make you'll need: 2 eggs, 2 cups
evaporated milk, l cup water, l
tblspn. melted butter, dash of salt,
~ cups grated cheese, 2 cups
bread crumbs.
Beat the eggs, and add remain
ing ingredients. Pour into CREASED
baking dish. Set in pan of hot water
and bake in a slow oven until set,
about one hour.
Chocolate Graham Bars are de
Iicious and so simple to make: Roll
about 20 graham crackers until
they are very fine. Combine them
with 2-3 cup chopped nuts, / 1-3
cup condensed milk, dash salt, and
one package of chocolate bits. MiX
thoroughly and pour mixture into

serole and bake in a moderate oven

and cut in rectangular shaped
pieces. You'll make them again and

Comment On
World Events

The United Nations Appeal for
Children presents an opportunity
to invest in the worlds most pre-
cious and promising asset - its
children" Secretary Of State
George Marshall said in a recent
nationwide broadcast.
Speaking from Madison Square
Garden, New York, at Command
Performance" held as part Of the
amusement industry's contribution
to American Overseas Aid-UN
appeal for Children, Secretary
Marshall emphasized that the ap-
peal is a worldwide drive to bene-
fit the international community"
81 am sure" he said, chat there
is no one listening tonight who
does not recognize that children
whose bodies have been starved and
warped are likely to develop, II
they survive, into a generation OF
embittered adults. Our national
interest, as well as our humanitar-
ian instinct, demands that we do
not permit this to happen. If we
fail to do our part for the nour-
ishment and care and normal de-
velopment Of today Of the children
with whom our children will have
to live tomorrow, we shall have
failed in craftsmanship as well as
in humanity"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-06-17

Secretary Marshall went on to
explain that the money from gov
ernments was inadequate for the
great need and that voluntary con-
tributions from Americans and 9TH
ers was an imperative necessity.
Remember" he said in conclu-
sion, "other people are giving too
some Of them more than we are,
much more perhaps, considering
their limited means. The American
goal in this campaign IS 60 mil
lion dollars, or about 40 cents per
CAPITA. Canada's goal is 10 million
dollars-almost one dollar per cap
ita.
Iceland has already raised 43O
thousand dollars-more than dol
lars per capita. In Greece, one
child in every 10 has lost one or
both parents, yet the 100000 chill
dren of school age have given ~
cents apiece to help others. In Ma
Mia. the appeal for children was
launched by a shoeshine boy who
gave a days earnings.
"Such self sacrifice as this puts
Americas reputation of generosity
to the test. Surely if these others
with so little can give so much, we
Americans will share our plenty
by responding generously to the
American Overseas Aid and the
United Nations Appeal for Chill
dren."

HAVE YOU HEARD?

The students of Pratt Institute

for women's house and garden

Since the majority of dresses to

or pockets that catch on things
as you work or are a safety haz-
ard in some way, the students are
competing to design work clothes
pretty enough for women to buy
with such safety factors as free

"The need is great" Secretary
Marshall continued. "The need is
urgent. During the past winter at
least 30 million children and moth
ers with infants were in dire need
in Europe. This has been confirmed
by competent authorities in child
welfare, many Of them Americans,
who have made close personal in
vestigations in Europe and the Far
East. 1t is difficult to determine
exact needs in China and other
Eastern countries, but they are
known to be immense.
investigators in Europe found
that undernourishment and nutri-
tional and social diseases were
widespread among children and
abolescents. The death rate among
infants doubled and tripled in some
areas. Millions Of orphans are be-
ing cared for under deplorable con-
ditions. Uncounted thousands Of
crippled children have been left to
shift for themselves.
