go into the cage with a steplad-

The Sunday crowd was great

Mrs. Martini raised in her kitch-

Congress Return
Demanded BY 20
NationoI Groups

Washington (LPA)-Meeting a
matter of a few days after the
adjournment of Congress, represen-
tatives Of 20 national organizations
including AFL and CIO issued a
demand that Congress "be recall
ed into immediate session to act on
the Taft -Ellender- Wagner Hous-
ing Bill, including its aids to pri-
vate enterprise, federally aided
public housing, rural housing, slum
clearance and research"
Since either the Republican Con-
gressional leadership or President
Truman can call Congress back, the
20 groups first wired their demand
to six Presidential nominees at the
COP convention: Taft, Dewey,
Stassen, Warren, Vandenberg and
Martin. They also addressed wires
to House Majority Leader Halleck
and Senate Majority Whip Wherry.

Ives sponsored both the New York

Revised ILO Constitution
Comes Into Force

Montreal (ILO)-- The Interna-
tional Labor Organizations revis-
ed constitution has come into force
Amendments to the constitution
were adopted by the Hos 1916
Conference in Montreal, with the
proviso that they would come into
effect when ratified or accepted by
two-thirds of the Organization's
member countries, including five
of the eight countries which holG
non-elective seats on the Govern
ing Body as states of chief indus
trial Importance.
With the receipt on April 20 of
MeXico's ratification, these condi-
tions were fulfilled.
An earlier series of amendments,
adopted by the 1915 Conference at
Paris, came into effect in 1916.

Chicago Printers
Yield To Typos

indianapolis (LPA)--It took d
thIee-and-a-half months strike to
turn the trick, but the Int'l Typo
graphical Union has just rolled up
a smashing victory in its battle
with the big printing establish
ments Of Chicago.
An agreement negotiated by Lo-
cal 16 Of the typos with the Frank
lin Assn, representing 400 print
shops, yielded an increase Of $11.S9
a week for $500 printers. The new
scale is S92 for day work and 500
for nights. Last "final" offer Of
the printing employers had been
1926 a week.
Also, the contract carried safe
guards calculated to preserve the
ITU union shop" 1t was submitted
to the members Of Local 16 for
ratification.
Other highlights on the typo
front were these:
Cincinnati newspaper publishers
settled with Local 3 Of the ITU
for a S9-a-week raise which
brought the scale to 500 a week for
day work and S95 for nights.
A deadlock still prevailed in ne
gotiations between the ITU and
the Chicago newspaper publishers.
The last "final" contract offer OF
the publishers was rejected by the
union because it contained no ade-
ouate protection of union shop"
standards. Typos have been on
strike at these papers since Nov.
III.
Members Of Local Is of the ITU
IL Rochester, n. Y, voted to auth
orize a strike against the city's
two daily newspapers-both owned
by the Gannett chain-after a
stalemate in bargaining sessions.
Strikes were also voted in Gannett
publishing plants at Elmira, AL
bany and Binghamton.
In New York City, new Second
round" negotiations between Local
Is and the city's publishers got
jammed up in snags over wording
of a proposed contract.
Robert n. Denham, general coun-
sci Of the Natl Labor Relations
Board, threatened a new breakdown
on the ITU. He said he has launch
ed an investigation of complaints
that the typos are violating terms
OF the injunction handed by Federal
court at Indianapolis recently. He
hlnted that a contempt citation may
be sought against the union and its
officers.

IndustFialists Find
More Paid Holidays
Won By Bargaining

New oYrk (LPA)-It must have
hurt worse than case of sunburn
contracted over the July 4th week
end. But the motto of the Natl
Industrial Conference Board is:
"Let there be light"
And so, last week the NICB re-
leased the results of a study show
ing that, thru the efforts of unions,
more and more workers are win
ming paid holidays. More than
three-fourths Of 100 union contracts
recently signed contain provisions
of paid holidays. This Stands out
in sharp contract" NICB says,
with a 1912 study which found that
only Is per cent of the contracts
studied provided for paid holidays.
Most of the agreements that pay
workers for holidays mention New
Years Day, Memorial Day, July
4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas.

Cost Of Living Rose More Rapidly
After First War, ILO Study Shows

Montreal QLO)-So you think
the cost of living is high;
An analysis published by the In
ternational Labor Office at Mon
treal reveals that prices through
out most of the world rose more
gradually after the start of World
War II than after the start of the
First World War.
In Is of 21 countries studied, the
index of food, clothing and other
basic household expenses rose more
sharply from 1941 to 1921 than be-
tween the years 1889 and 1948.
In only six of the Fl countries
France, India, Brazil, Chile, Peru
and Spain-did prices climb more
rapidly during the latter period.
Using 1939-the start of World
War las one base year, and
1914-the start of World War I
as the other base year, the LILO
survey reveals the comparative
price situation approximately three
years after each war.
In the United States, the cost
of living at the end of February,
1948, was 60 per cent above the
1889 index. In 1920, a 100 per cent
rise had been registered over 1914,
but this figure dropped to 78 per
cent in the recession year 1921.
In Canada, living costs at the
end of March 1948, were 40 per
cent above those in 1889. In 1920,
prices were up 90 per cent over
the start of the First World War.
This figure fell to 81 per-c cent dur
ing the 1921 recession.

Wallace Ducks
Labor's Query In
Minnesota Election

Minneapolis (LPA)-Henry Wal
lace ducked an opportunity to clar-
ify his party's campaign plans last
week. G. ]. O'Donnell, president OF
the st. Paul Trades & Labor AS
Isembly-AFL, wrote Wallace asking
him to help unite Minnesota labor
and liberal forces behind Minneapo-
Ills Mayor Hubert Humphreys race
to unseat anti-union Sen. Joseph
Ball (R., Minn.). The third party
leader ducked the issue and left
the third party decision on Humph-
rey's election up to Minnesota Wal
laceites.
The presidential candidate told
'O'Donnell that Candidates will no.
be judged on the basis of their po-
sitlon on any single issue such as
the Marshall plan" He then distin-
guished between "some liberals who
fought against many aspects of the
bipartisan foreign policy, but VINO
were confused by the propaganda
surrounding the Marshall plan, and
ctlcr so-called liberals who have
committed themselves uncritically
to every phase of the warmakers
program"
Walalce said that "unity may re-
quire accommodation by both
sides" He assured" O'Donnell
that his estate organization will
be prepared to cooperate provided
that there is no sacrifice of basic
principle"
Thus the door is left open for
Wallaceite support of Democratic
candidates who solicit it, as some
in New York seem willing to da,
and continued third party compe-
tition to pro-labor politicos who
reject any Communist entangle-
ment.
Wallaceite assistance to Mayor
Humphreys compaign looked un-
likely in Minnesota last week. The
"ieft wing" of the Democratic
Farmer-Labor party led by Wal
lace's friend ex-Gov. Elmer Benson
filed its slate of elctors with the
state authorities ahead
of the Humphrey Americans for
Democratic Action group. The Re
publican officials ruled that the
pro-Wallace slate is the official
DFL ticket despite repeated ADA
tIiumphs within the party.
Anti Wallace DFL leaders, who
plan to support the Democratic ma
tional ticket, have instituted court
action to reverse this decision,
which would if it stands leave the
Democratic ticket the third party"
in Minnesota.

compared very favorably with the
$709, ,651, ,780 earned in the first 8
months of 1947.
The newspaper account cited the
continued heavy demand and high
er prices as the principal factors
for the good earnings reported.
Prime example Of this was seen
in the petroleum industry where
several companies reported record
profits for the first 3 months of
1913.

demned the custer of three anti

three men were dropped from the

their jobs because they opposed Lo-

the Wallace-for-P President campaign

run organizations. The RWDSE
executive board is expected to ap-

order the "rebels" reinstated.

RIGHT OF LABOR PAPERS TO
CHAMPION CANDIDATES and
ISSUES UPHELD BY COURT

Washington, d. C. QLNS) =
Union newspapers may champion
political candidates and express
political views, the u. S. Supreme
Court has ruled unanimously.
The court upheld organized la
boris contention that such activity
does not violate the Taft-Hartley
Act ban on political spending by
unions but it emphasized that it
was not ruling directly on the
constitutionality of the provision
Court Splits Sharply
At the same time the court up
held the Taft Hartley requirement
that unions must file financial
statements with the government,
but it refused, 7 to 2, to rule on
the laws requirement that union
officers must sign Communist af-
fidavits before the unions can use
the services of the National Labor
Relations Board. The opinions
were the first handed down by the
highest tribunal on the new labor
law.
Splitting sharply in their rea-
sons, the justices dismissed De-
partment of Justice case against
the CIO and its president, Philip
Murray, charged with violating the
section of the TIL law banning
political expenditures by unions.
Five of the 8 justices held that
Murray had not violated the law be-
cause it was never meant to cover
political expression in papers pub
lished with union funds and distrib-
uted to regular union members. The
case involved special issue of the
CIO News in support of a Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress from
Baltimore in a special election last
July.
-Four justices = Black, Rutledge,
Murphy and Douglas-said there
was no doubt this section was un-
constitutional in that it was too
vague and violated the free speech
guarantees of the first amendment.
Handing down the courts opin-
ion, Justive Reed said: at would
require explicit words in an act to
convince us that Congress intended
to bar trade journal, house or
gan or newspaper, published by
a corporation, from expressing
views on candidates or political
proposals in the regular course of
its publication"
The court by-passed the question
whether such papers could be dis
tributed free and whether the un-
ions money can be used in other
political activities, such as spon-
soring radio broadcasts and distrib-
uting leaflets.
Big Question Dodged
The court decided the financial
statements requirement case with
out written opinion and said that
we do not find it necessary to
reach or consider the validity" of
the anti-Communist section. Black
and Douglas voted to review the
constitutionality of both sections.
The courts action came on an
appeal by the National Maritime
Union, CIO, and its president, Jo-
seph Curran, from a ruling by
special 3-judge court which had
held both sections constitutional.
