WASHINGTON, March 10 -
(LPA)-A federal district court
last week found Harold Christof-
fel, one-time president of the
is-Chalmers local of the
United Auto Workers (CIO)
guilty on six charges of perjury
and sentenced him to two to SIX
year in Jail. All of the counts
against Christoffel arose out of
his denials of Communist Party
affiliation.
In addition to furnishing evil
dence against Christoffel, gov
ernmen. witnesses during the
trial said that the strike which
he led in 1941, before Hitler's In
vasion of Russia, was part of a

NLRB DefIofeS
Edi+orioIiSfS

WASHINGTON, March 10 -
LPA)-City editors and such
dignitaritaries are no more pro-
fessional than plain reporters, the
NLRB ruled last week. This blow
to the dignity of the editorial
staff of daily papers was more
than compensated for by the fact
that the ruling protects their
right to be union members.
The company which publishes
the Jersey Observer asked the
NLRB to exclude its county edl'
tors, special editors, rewrite men
and other editorial writer's from
the bargaining unit which the
A erican Newspaper Guild
(CIO) wants established. But the
board found that these men are
usually reporters who have work
ed their way up, not men win
special training in the sense nee,
essary to qualify as professional
employees" under the Taft-Hartley
Act.
Noting that all reporters are
required to exercise judgment In
their work, the board held that
the difference in duties between
reporters on the one hand and
rewrite men and special editors
on the other is lone of degree
not kind" Therefore, the NLRB
decided that all employees in the
editorial department of the Jer-
sey Observer except the few In
supervisory positions, may vote
together as to whether or mol
they will be represented by the

Let Them All
Work Says NAM

NEW YORK, March 10 (LPA)
The Bureau of Labor Stats
tics estimate of what it costs a
city family to live halfway de-
Gently is no basis for wage de,
mands, the National Association
of Manufacturers asserted last
week. Industrial ownership's
most powerful propagan a
agency pointed out that the gap
can be filled by putting the whole
family to work.
BIS found that in June 1947
a family of four, which kept up
it's tax and insurance payments
and had only $50 worth of medi
cal care a year, could just barely
squeeze by on $3458 a year.
Average family income fol
1946 was $3806, another govern
ment economic report, cited by
NAM, revealed. This means thai
over a third of Americas family
units were making less than what
the BIS says is needed for ar
adequate standard of living
Even NAM comedies the lowest
fifth of our families got less
than $685., and adds that "tht
average family income varie:
enormously among the different
strata of family population"
The gist of the MANS attack
upon pending union wage de,
mands is that in many familie:
more than one member of the
household is working and that ir
many instances this extra wage,
Garner brings the family income
up to the BIS minimum. There
fore, 1t is o. k. for business. tC
keep each workers wage below
the level necessary for the sup
port of a family.

Urges Free Colleges

MILWAUKEE, (LPA)-Lester
w S h burn, president of the
United Auto Workers (AFL)
said last week that publicly sup
ported college educations should
be available to all young people
who want them. He pointed out
that the present training given
vets under the CT bill, because
of its limitation to the number OF
months spent in the army, is in
adequate even for ex.servicemen
Four-year college courses should
be added to the regular high
school schedule, the union head
advocated.

.UPW Prepares
For A Strike

CHICAGO, March 10 UPA)
- President Ralph Helstein of
the United Packinghouse Work.
.ers (CIO) warned last week that
100000 workers in the meat
packing industry will walk out
on March l6 unless the big,four
packers and 10 Independents
meet union pay-raise demands.
The union is seeking a 29-cent
an-hour raise for all production
and maintenance workers in the
industry. II points out that while
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
has computed that a ,$1,39-an.
hour wage Is necessary for the
support of family of three, most
packlnghouse workers are max.
ing less than S1.l0 an hour.
On the other hand, Helstein
said, the big packers had net
profit before taxes of $144, ,000,-
900 last year, and are able Ia
! pay better wages without In
creasing meat prices.
In preliminary negotiations
with Swift & Co. the union has
shown a willingness TO reduce
its demand TO 10 cents, but the
company branded this compro
mise figure still exorbitant and
unrealistic. F"
Should industry stubbornnesS
force the strike, the nations
available meat supply will drop
/ SO per cent within few days
with east coast cities suffering
most. Federal conciliators have
been endeavoring to settle the
dispute Requirements of filing
strike notices with the govern
ment and Yhe companies have
been compliai with.

Left Holds It's
UOPWA Control

NEW YORK, March 10 (LPA)
Over the dissent of fright
wing" bloc, which supported ma
tional ClO political action policy,
administration forces in the
United Office and Professional
Workers (CIO) carried a resolu'
ton recommending support OF
Henry A. Wallace to the unions
10000 members.
The 'left-wing" administration
followed up its 687 to 131 vic
tory for Wallace by being re-
elected to office by the unions
convention last week with no
contest. ..
"Right.wing" delegates failed
to hold their own supporters on
a motion to require union Off
GERS to sign the Taft-Hartley non
Communist affidavits. They lost
this vote 720 to 68.
UOPWA's pro-Wallace resolu-
ton differs from those of most
other "left.wing" CIO interna'
tionals in that it refrains from
officially endorsing the third
party. The resolution states that
the convention delegates favor
Wallace's candidacy and call upon
the locals and individual members
to examine the political picture

Democratic candidate. Therefore,
1 put my ambitions in storage for
a more opportune time.
In 1946 the question was:
should the Democratic candidate
be Mike Disable or myself. After
several conferences we decided
that Mike should be the one. AS
far as liberal legislation goes,
our stand was about equal. We
Judged however that Mike had
the better chance of winning.
Therefore, l stepped aside and
supported Mike.
In preparing for the 1948 deci-
sion, I had many conferences
with friends. Some were of the
opinion I should run, others
thought the going would be
tough.
One of the conversations /
had on this matter was with Bill
Sturm early this year. He urged
me to run and said that he would
support me. Of course, since that
time Mr.. Sturm has himself be-
come a candidate. Naturally, ]
am putting all the energy l can
into the campaign for the prim-
ary election. However, if am
not successful and Mr.. Sturm
is, he can count on my support
in the general election cam

my own decision to run. In this
great America of ours 1t is still
possible for any citizen to run
for office. This is a heartening
fact ano I am happy that live
in a land where l can have op.

! can contribute my share In
keeping it that way. Democracy
lives, not perfectly, because it
has it's ailments, but in a free
land where we are free to ap-
ply correctives to our ills.

gressive political party"
"Labor's participation in
such a premature and ILL
advised adventure such as this
third party and Wallace's presi-
dental candidacy" said the
resolution, would be disastrous
and would set back for years
to come the development of a
genuine Independent progressive
political party composed of trade
unions, farmers, professional,
and libeEal and progressive
groups. -.
"This announced third party
can in no way assist or hasten
the repeal of the Taft-Hartley
Act, but of the contrary in
creases the likelihood of its con-
tinuing on the statute books by
aiding and abetting the re-elec-
ton of those Congressman who
voted for that vicious law as
well as the election of candidates
to support it.
Called CP Maneuver
The resolution declares that
whereas the lack of a genuine
independent political party ZEN
courage such 'fly-by-night' mis-
leading political movements as
this (Wallace) manipulation,
which is a Communist Party
maneuver designed to advance
the foreign policy interests OF
the Soviet Union" and exposes
labor to the self-defeating course
of supporting false friends in
order to prevent the election OF
declared enemies" the only hope
for the future lies in an indepen-
dent movement.
"The labor movement 1t de-
clares, "has the leadership and
organizational resources to give
impetus and direction to such a
genuine independent political
movement" The UAW intends
to persist in seeking a practical,
day-to- day, working unity of the

Civil Rights
Fight Goes On

WASHINGTON, March 10
OPA)-The fight for and
against the program of civil
rights legislation proposed by
President Truman-who got
them from a bipartisan COM
mission which included AFL and
CIO spokesmen in its members
was still heavily peppered
wit h pre-November election
activities last week.
In Virgiana, a water-downed
version of Governor Tuck's elec-
ton bill, which would have kept
President Truman and any new
parties from the ballot, was or
the way to passage. 1t would
still keep Truman'S name off
the ballot unless the Democratic
state convention chose him, or
independent Truman petitions
were circulated and filed. Tru-
man could not appear under the
Democrat label unless the Byrd
machine which controls the state
changes its views on the Presi-
dent.
Governors To Meet
The southern governors con-
ference meets March 13 in Wash.
