Decisive Round

Chicago (LPA)-Battle lines ar
tightly drawn this week as tn,

that 16 of the boards 25 members
show consistent tendencies" to
follow the CP line.
After calmly reading several
chapters of Robert E. Sherwood's
Roosevelt and Hopkins" during a
board meeting, Quill revealed a
new plan for improving service on
the New York subway system.
He proposes that a conductor be
assigned to each car instead of
only one for each short train, two
for longer trains. Furthermore, the
TWU chief, who is also a member
Of the NY city council, wants the
city to build a new "belt line" con-
Meeting the various rotes that feed
people into the Manhattan busi-
ness district. This is needed be-
cause Of the congestion of surface
transport, Quill said.
The MacMahon-H og an forces
deny Quilts claim that $3.50 of
the convention delegates will back
his move to purge all pro-CPers
from TWU office. Substance is
given to the assertion however by
Quill and Faber's hold on the over

from big Local 100.
Anxious to install new admin

Quill will press for election of Of

left-wing group holds out for a
vote.

Maritime Strike
On West Coast
Comes To An End

San Francisco (LPA)-The long
west coast maritime strike finally
came to an end last week after the
three unions still out reached
agreement with the shipowners.
Two unions, Marine Cooks &
Stewards and American Radio
Assn, and one unaffiliated union,
Marine Firemen, Oilers, Water
tenders & Wipers, joined the long
shoremen and Marine Engineers
who had already settled on new
contract with the operators.
The cooks won a three-year con-
tract with $20-a-month raise,
more overtime pay, improved
grievance machinery and will keep
the present hiring hall unless it
becomes illegal. The firemen got a
$21-a-month raise for offshore
workers and $15 for coastwise
workers. The radio operators have
a three year contract with annual
wage reopenings, and a 1919 pay
raise.
Pacific ports, however, have a
long way to go before they're op-
Grating at full speed again. Presi-
dent Harry Lundeberg of Sailors
Union Of the Pacific-AFL has ac
cused CIO longshoremen of invad
ing his jurisdiction and refuses to
man any ships until this matter is
settled with the operators.

we'll to their associates and start
ed homeward to report on one OF
the most successful, profitable con-
ventions in the AFL's history.
AFL President William Green
told newsmen at a press conference
which followed the council meeting
that one of the tasks on which he
will act Immediately is to carry
out the wish of the convention and
seek to bring about the reaffiliation
of the International Association of
Machinists with the AFL.
Mr.. Green expressed hope that
a settlement of the 2-year dispute
over jurisdictional problems could
be arranged in order that the 700,-
0O0 machinists could return to the
AFL fold.
Negotiations will be started, Mr..
Green said, between committees
representing the AFL and the
lam. Serving on the AFL commit
tee for this purpose are the mem
bers of the Executive Council
whose Offices and residences are
in Washington. The LAM commit
tee is expected to be headed by
Eric Peterson, general secretary of
the union.
In response to questions from re-
porters, Mr.. Green reiterated the
AFL's position, as adopted at the
convention, on repeal of the Taft
Hartley law. He said the fedora
tion would work vigorously through
its newly organized national legis-
lative council for the complete re-
peal of the law and the reenact-
ment of the Wagner Act.
Following this action, Mr.. Green
declared, the AFL would be will
ing to discuss possible amendments
to the old Wagner Act which would
guarantee a national policy on la
Dor which would be in the interests
of the public.
Mr.. Green said the council post
poned action on a request from a
delegation representing the Can
adian Trades and Labor Congress
for AFL assistance in ridding
Communists from the Canadian la
Dor movement. He said the matter
would be discussed at the regular
midwinter meeting Of the council
which was set to begin on January
81 in Miami, Fla.

Boss Praised Who
Learned To Work
With His Workers

Chicago (LPA)-In one of hi
first post-election speeches, Sen
Paul Douglass 3D., IlL) praised ;
boss, at birthday party given fol
aim by the Int'l Chemical Workers
Union-AFL. The once anti-uniol
employer has learned, Douglas
said, that trade unions are nee
essary to our economic welfare anC
to sound industrial relations.
The boss being honored was
Herbert Buchsbaum, president OF
S. Buchsbaum & CO., a plastic pro
ducts manufacturing firm. Presi-
dent Samuel Laderman, of Local
241 ICWU, praised Buchsbaum's
role in the creation of harmonious
union-management relations.
Illinois new labor-supported Sen
ator pointed out that the boss had
learned that labor and manage
ment both have an interest in fair,
peaceful Industrial relations. Both
want "a bigger pie to cut" Doug
las said.
Peace has not always reigned at
the Buchsbaum firm. When the
ICWU first organized his workers,
Herbert Buchsbaum was an out
spoken foe of unionism. SO hectic
were the firms labor relations that
Douglas, then an economics pro
fessor, was called in to serve as
contract arbitrator. But over the
years the boss and the union have
gained respect for each other, and
the Senator said that his arbitrat-
ors' job has become very light
one.
Union President Laderman an
nounced that a group bonus plan
has been instituted in the firm, in
which all employees will share
equally.
The same night that it presented
the birthday greeting to the boss,
Local 241 gave checks totaling
$2700 to the Chicago Community
Fund, the Jewish Welfare Fund,
the American Civil Liberties I'M
ion, and the Urban League, and
the Chicago Council Against Racial
& Religious Discrimination.

.Celdnese Investigation
Ordered By Sen. Murray

Washington (LPA)-In response
to a request from President Emi
Rieve of the Textile Workers Un.
ion, Sen. James Murray Cd, Mont. J
has asked the staff of the Joint
COMMITTEE on Labor Management
Relations to investigate the anti
union activities of the Celanese
Corp. at Rome, Ga.
This is the first job which the
committee, created by the Taft
Hartley law will undertake at the
request of labor. Up till now, under
the reactionary leadership of ere
tired" Sen. Joseph Ball OR. MINI.
it has been a spokesman for anti
labor employers and legislators.
But pro-union Murray will take
over the leadership of the commit
tee from Ball and Sen. Robert A.
Taft (R. Ohio) when the 81st Con-
gress meets.
Rieve pointed out in his telegram
that, in Georgia, Celanese is re-
fusing to grant the same raise that
it has given employees in it's north
ern plants, and which all other
major textile firms have conceded.
He also called the Senator's atten-
tion to the sweeping state anti
picketing injunction under which
numerous strikers have been ar
rested, and the company's plan to
break the union under NLRB rul-
ings which permit scabs but not
strikers to vote in NLRB elections.

Labor Ranks In
Peru Unbroken

Washington (LPA)-The ranks
of the democratic labor movement
in Peru are holding fast, it was
reported here last week. Solidarity
of the workers behind the unions
/ is now evident and there is nc
stampede away from the unions as
there was in Argentina after the
revolution.
APRA, the political party of the
liberal unions, was accused by the
government of leading a naval re-
bellion in early October and was
Immediately outlawed. Apris t a
leader Raoal Haya De La Tore,
who is also a vice-president of the
Inter-American Confederation of
Workers (ClT), was hunted by the
police.
The AFL, at it's recent conven-
tion in Cincinnati, protested this
vicious anti-labor frameup. De La
Tore is reported to be alive and
active somewhere in Peru.

BRITISH NEW STEEL BILL
READIED FOR PASSAGE

London OPA)-A special com
mittee of Parliament is putting
the finishing touches this week OF
the Labor governments bill to ma
tionalize the iron and steel induus
try. The Labor measure, bitterly
opposed by the Tories, passed the
vital test vote, the Second read
ing" by 373 to 211 in the House OF
Commons.
Specialization of this basic indus
try signalizes the completion OF
one of the most unusual perform
ances in the political history of any
people. Britain's Labor govern
ment has enacted into law every
single measure it pledged in its
election platform.
The government proposes ia
take over about $3.50 of the plants
Iengaged in basic steel production,
and from 1586 to 1870 of the fac
tories in the more important pro-
cessing and fabricating branches
Of the industry.
Firms whose names are known
the world over--like Richard Tho
mas & Baldwins, Stewards d
Lloyds, and Dorman Long-will be-
come public property. They will
retain their names and separate
organizations, but the government,
thru a public corporation, will be
the only stakeholder. It will set
basic policy to which the 'compan-
les directors will have to conform.
Labor-management relations in
the steel industry have been good,
but the iron and steel unions are
whoeheartedly in favor of the ma
tionalization program. They feel
that under public ownership the
industry can look forward to steady
progress, rather than a succession
of booms and busts which has char
acterized it's history.
At the time the bill was intro
duced public opinion polls showed
popular sentiment against the
measure. But Labor supporters
have pointed out that for months
the Tories have been making pro-
paganda against the policy while
Labor has been busy working out
details of the plan. When debate
closed in the House this week De-
putty Prime Minister Herbert Nor
rison said that he is confident the
government has made an irrefut-
able case for its program.
Conservative spokesmen Winston
Churchill and Anthony Eden have
threatened to make the steel bill
"the issue" of the 1850 elections.
Laborites, on the other hand, eX-
pect to win again on the basis of
their social welfare program.
Public administration of the steel
industry is scheduled to begin in
May 1850, while the elections must
take place by July of that year 1t
is believed, however, that the gov
ernment is willing to advance the
polling date, so that the voters
may decide whether or not the
measure shall actu-
ally go into operation.
