"Last year the same amount of
travel resulted in 8 deaths, and this
year about 7 deaths.

"The actual decline in July
deaths is especially gratifying be-
cause an intensive nationwide effort
was made to hold traffic tragedy to
a minimum over the Fourth of July
and throughout the month of heavy
vacation travel. Government Of
ficials and enforcement officers,

Three regions of the country are
carrying the burden for the bright
er traffic picture, according to the

Atlantic and Pacific states had
sharp death reductions for the z
months. The North Central and
South Central states had little
change from last year, and the
Mountain states had a sizeable in
crease in fatalities.

Ruling Of NLRB
DERIVES Strikers
OF Right To Vote

Washington (LPA)-A unanim-
Gus NLRB last week ruled that men
on strike for higher pay, or over
other economic issues, who have
been replaced on the job, may not
vote in NLRB conducted union re-
presentation ballots.
The decision was the boards
first ruling under section 9 (c) (3)
of the Taft Hartley law which says
Employees on strike who are not
entitled to reinstatement shall not
be eligible to vote"
According to the board this
means anyone who is on strike for
economic reasons whose job has
been filled during the strike. The
board pointed out that if the strike
is over unfair labor practices by
the employer all strikers retain
their voting rights, as do economic
strikers who have not been replac-
ed.
The result of the boards ruling
was to confirm the Retail Clerks
Protective Ass'n-AFL as the union
in the Times Square Stores in New
York City. Local $50 of the Retail,
Wholesale & Dept Store Employees
CIO, which had represented the
Times Square workers was on
strike, and didn't appear on the bal
lot since it is not in compliance
with the Taft Hartley law. The
AFL union organized non-striking
workers and requirements.
The RWDSE local charged that
unfair labor practices
were responsible for the strike. But
NLRB General Counsel Denham's
office ruled that this was not the
case and the strike was for higher
wages. The fve-man NLRB said
that it cannot override the General
Counsel's dismissal of the CIO|
charges and so viewed the strike
as a purely economic one.
CIO General Counsel Arthur
Goldberg bitterly attacked the de-
cision as stretching the law even
beyond it's stated terms" He de-
clared that it means "strikebreak-
ers are permitted to vote and tip
the scales in an NLRB election
against the actual employees who
by their ballots have demonstrated
their confidence in their union."

Twenty-Three New
Members Initiated
By Local Union 45

Trenton, N. Local 45 is still
in existence, even if it does not
seem very lively judging by o. c.
ass stories or lack of them recent
ly.
There are very few complaints.
This speaks we'll for management
and the local, therefore it is pro-
badly the reason for lack of news.
The question of the officers sal
aries did not cause much of a rip
pie Judging by the vote and consid-
ering four meetings were held in
stead Of the proposed two and the
last one on a refreshment night.
The local owes an apology to
those who came to vote between
the hours of 3 and 5 p. m. August
27 and found no preparations made.
This was probably due to the fact
that our secretary who usually ar
ranges such things was on vaca-
ton.
This local has welcomed % new
members since the first of August.
Frequently we have to hold more
than one initiation at each meeting.
Applicants should be present by
8:15 p. m.
Many of our members, including
some who seldom attend the meet
ings, feel that something should
be done to stir up more interest.
The following resolution was given
its first reading September 3.
Monthly dues paid at the meeting
shall be so cents, but if paid to the
assessment collector it shall be one
dollar. Note one month in the hall
at time" This will only be done
to insure greater attendance and
the local hopes it will have that
effect.
Other suggestions will be gladly
received and the resolution will be
up for discussion September IL.
Should this resolution be adopted,
we hope it will be taken in good
spirit by everyone, as it is not too
much to expect members to attend
once a month, unless for sickness
or some such valid reason. If they
would rather not attend so cents
is not too much for the privilege
of staying away.
Brother John Cooper, Jr. was re-
ported sick. Our sympathy is ex-
tended to Brother Frank Nowicki
whose mother died August 29. Bro
ther John Simpson was sick, but
we are glad to report he is back

Byrd Machine
Lays Gravel!

Front Royal, Va. (LPA)-The
Byrd machine, controlling force II
the Democratic Party in Virginia
leaves no stones unturned to make
II inconvenient for those who fight
their hold on the state. That's clear
to residents in Stonewall Heights
the union-sponsored housing pro-
iect overlooking this textile city.
It seems that when Textile
workers Union of America plan
ned the housing development, they
spent over $1,000 on the purchase
of rights of way, grading and put
ting down solid stone foundation
of the 1900 feet of road between
the main highway and the homes.
Last fall, Virginia officials notl-
fed the housing corporation that
the state had taken over the road.
Then, a couple of weeks before the
recent primaries, word got around
that Local 371, TWUA might sup
port the Byrd candidate for Senate,
instead of the insurgent candidate,
Colonel Hart.
Just as fast as the rumor reach
ed the state highway department,
they started laying gravel over the
unfinished roadbed.
Then, two days before the cleo
ton, Business Agent Charles Lead
man of Local 371 formally ann
ounced he was supporting the
labor-sponsored, anti-Byrd slate.
The next day, the highway men
ran short of gravel
and left about 200 feet of the road
unfinished. And to this day they
still don't know when it'll be fin
ished.

Labor Smokes Out
Plan To Eliminate
Labor Department

Washington (LPA)-The week
lily newspaper Labor, official pub
lication of the railway unions, in
an exclusive story last week reveal
ed that the Hoover Commission on
Government Organization has been
working on a proposal for out
right abolition of the Department
of Labor" The story brought fiat
denial from ex-President Herbert
Hoover.
A check by LPA of government
and union officials who have been
involved in discussions with mem
bers of the Hoover Commission's
staff amply confirms L a r 5
charges. Beyond doubt members OF
the Commission and its crew of
"experts" have been toying with
the idea of scrapping the Labor
Dept.
No formal recommendation has
yet been made to the committee
that the agency set up to serve the
working men and women of the
nation be abolished, but some of
its members are believed to favor
the scheme. One member said that
Hoover himself had considered the
idea.
Labor's report, however, brought
from Hoover an indignant denial.
"The Commission has never enter
tanned anything of the sort. All of
its discussions have included main
tenance of the Labor Department" !"
the depression President declared.
Corporation vice presidents, in
dustrial engineers, and Wall Street
dominate the Hoover
Commission and its professional
staff, which includes not one trade
union representative, Labor points
out.
Several months ago the Bureau
of Labor Statistics called in its ad-
visory committee, which does in
clude union people, to meet with
staff member of the Hoover Com
mission. Altho they couldn't pin
him down, the labor representatives
got the distinct impression that
further emasculation of the Labor
Dept was being considered.
Consensus in Washington is that
the expose by the influential rail
road labor paper nipped in the bud
a proposal which the Hoover Com
might otherwise have
come up with. The scheme called
for putting BIS in the business
dominated Dept of Commerce, and
the rest of the Labor Dept
branches into the Federal Security
Agency.

price increases, the National Association of Purchasing
Agents charges in effect in port made by its business

The association, which hardly be called radical

have not been justified by the latest wage And
that the upsurge of prices threatens economic

PRESIDENTIAL RACE

Chicago (LPA)-The general ex-

hood of Teamsters-AFL voted this
week to limit its political activities
this year to the "local level" Re-
framing from endorsing any presi-
Dental aspirant, the board called

Tered more materials and had effect
'on more business than in any per-
iod since prices were decontrolled,
the business survey committee
found. Issued by Chairman Robert
C.. Swanton, director of purchases
of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Corp. division Of Olin Industries,
Inc, New Haven, Conn, the COM
posite opinion of purchasing agents
comprising the committee disclos-
ed that they look on "this last up
surge Of prices as creating an un-
stable and top-heavy price struc-
ture."
"Some prices advanced beyond
the amount justified by the immed-
late wage increase, indicating a
passing along of accumulated cost
increases from freight-rate and
price adjustments" they said.
Buyers point to growing public
price resistance = products being
priced out Of the markets."
Purchasing agents report that
the general industrial business this
summer has maintained the gains
made from March to June but has
leveled off on that high plateau
and now shows some indications of
a downward trend. Production is
slightly off from June, largely re-
flecting the vacation shutdowns
which are more widespread than in
past years.
Backlogs Of orders, which start
ed to grow in April, have shown no
increase since June, although sup
ported by more intensive and ag-
gressive sales efforts. Commenting
on the reasons for this situation,
purchasing executives mention a
factors: (1) prices being too high,
(2) greater availability of many
noncritical items, (3) agricultural
market weaknesses, and t4} the
lack of any incentive for forward
buying beyond known require
ments.
The overall business picture is
still good, the purchasing commit
tee added, but future developments
seem less certain.
In inventories, they reported that
the tendency is to olive off the fat"
where any fat exists. The trend to
build up stocks, reported in May
and June, has been reversed as
more purchasing agents report in
ventory reductions.
The longest list of price increases
ever reported in one survey period
followed the price raises in basic
commodities, the report continued.
1t said the entire list is too long
for publication, and listed only
items in most general use. These
were abrasives, automotive, alum
inum, bearings, copper and brass,
cellophane, cement, Gig
arettes, coal, coke, electrical equip
ment, irebrick, graphite, iron,
steel, lead, machinery and repair
parts, office furniture, opticals,
phenol, printing, pumps, refractor-
les, rubber products, sulphuric acid,
tin, tools, valves, wire, wood pulp,
zinc and zinc products.
Reported down in price were
alcohol, air hose, poorer grades of
coal, vegetable oils, grains, sugar,
hides, leather, southern pine, Doug
las fir, mercury, synthetic resins,
screw machine products, shellac,
silver, soap, stearates.

Full Year Term
Now For Officers
Of Local Union AZ

Salem, Ohio-At the last meet
ing of Local No. AZ many import
ant questions were up for debate
and were settled i'm a matter sat
isfactory to the majority of those
present.
President Robert Morrow was
elected conferee to the wage con-
ference now in session. He is quite
capable of handling this task for
the members of No. AZ, and we are
back of him in his efforts.
Another important resolution had
its third reading and was adopted
by good majority. Beginning in
December officers will be elected
for term of one year rather than
six months. This should prove bene-
fetal as our officers will have the
time to really get their thoughts
and ideas to working and it should
improve our strength as body.
The motion to have five decal
girls on each machine also carried,
after lengthy discussion, both pro
and con. This will provide an op-
portunity for those girls who have
busted and back stamped for sew
eral years to learn the decal trade.
Perhaps in time this will. serve to
unite the decal girls into one group
10 hot do he nj
the organization. At the present it
appears the decal shop is divided,
which can be a dangerous situation
if it is allowed to continue. Remem-
ber girls, by working together you
have the strength to better your
trade, but when you are divided,
not only your trade but our union
has to suffer. So let us try to get
some harmony in the decal shop
and really secure those working
conditions that you surely need.
AS this was our last meeting to
vote on the referendum and also to
elect a conferee, a good crowd was
on hand. Still with two extra large
crowds at our last two meetings
there were still more than half of
our members who did not vote.
Many will say that their one vote
would not have made any differ
ence. Let us think that one over for
a moment. If you were to take
spark plug from your car it would
probably stil1 run but not with the
efficiency that you expect. That al
so holds true of any organization
where only a very. small minority
constitutes its operating force. 1t
too runs along, but not as well as
it could if everyone would take an
active part in its workings. And by
putting their shoulders to the wheel
things would move more smoothly
and there wouldn't be the dissen-
sion in our ranks that we now have.
At conference time we cannot
afford to have divided group re-
presenting US at such a crucial
meeting. With living costs at an all
time high everyone should be pull
ing together to help the trade Sc
cure much needed raise in our
earnings. Another thing that we
hope comes out of the conference
is a pension plan. This is very
much needed and will provide for
our future.
Is it true that one of our decal
girls is crying her heart out since
a guy by the name of Bob left for
other parts? Only time can heal
broken heart, so don't despair and
perhaps there will be another to
take his place real soon. -O.C. AZ
