union head branded Migas a 1iar"
and denounced Communist inter
ference in union affairs.
Murray told the convention that
US Steel, Bethlehem, Republic, In
land, Wheeling and Allegheny had
flatly refused to negotiate with the
union unless it complies with the
non Communist affidavit provisions
of the Taft Hartley law.
There was considerable delegate
sentiment for instructing the
unions officers to sign, but the
question was referred to the execu-
tive board for solution this week.
Murray himself, who has frequent
ly asserted his principaled unwill-
ingness to file, described to the con-
vention the disadvantages of non
compliance, citing raids of comply
ing unions against non-compliers
and the tactical advantages of en-
ployers.
If the executive board votes con-
tinued noncompliance a clear-cut
test case will be inaugurated on the
constitutionality of the Taft Hart
ley requirement. This was made
clear by General Counsel Arthur
Goldberg, who said that the union
will file the financial statements

Union Head Warns
OF Squeeze Play

Newark (LPA)-A one-year con-
tract-the first signed by a Bell
phone system company in 1913
was agreed to last week by the
Communications Workers of Am
erica -unaffiliated in the New Jer-
sey Bell Telephone Co. Four key
issues were submitted to arbitra-
tion machinery set up by the state
law banning public utilities strikes.
NJ Bell and the union agreed to
battle out before arbitrators ques-
tions involving basic wages, re-
classification of pay scales on the
size of the town, shortening of ap-
prentice periods, sick pay, length
and amount of evening and night
differentials.
About 10000 phone traffic work
ers are involved. Negotiations were
carried on for 60 days.
Meanwhile, CWA contracts with
Bell companies in Wisconsin, Illi-
nois, Cincinnati, Washington, d. c.,
and Bell Laboratories have expired.
The union in each case rejected
proposals for renewal of
the old contracts for two-year
period with what CWA terms a
useless wage reopening clause"
"The company is trying to use a
squeeze play on the union," CWA
President Joseph Beirne declared.

SfeeIworkers Denounce Industry
Borons And Communist DISRUPTION

Boston (LPA) - In one of the
most heated, yet one of the most
unanimous conventions in the his
tory/of organized labor, the United
Steelworkers reaffirmed it's con-
fidence in the leadership of Presi-
dent Philip Murray. The 5000 dele
gates representing 928,000 union
members put the recalcitrant indus
try barons and Communist politicos
on notice that neither will be al
lowed to disrupt the union or pre-
vent it from continuing to "deliv-
er the goods" to its members.
Only once did the smoldering
wrath of the delegates at the re-
fusal of "big steel to bargain over
wage adjustments boil over-when
Nick Migas, an admitted Commun-
ist from Indiana tried to put the
blame on President Murray's poll
cies for the industry's refusal to
bargain.
Migas quoted the Daily Worker,
official Communist organ, which
has been viciously attacking Muir
ray ever since the chieftain de-
nounced the third party of the
Communists and Henry Wallace.
President Murray insisted upon
Migas' right to speak, and restrain
ed delegates who wished to throw
him out of the convention hall. The

In New Contract

Warrington, w. Va. - Negotia-

now under way and we are look
ing forward to a substantial wage
increase. We feel we are justified
in this respect as other industries
throughout the country have grant

they are in operation for it will

Washington (LPA) = The foot
dragging operation by Rep. Jesse
Wolcott (R., Mich.), intended to
slow down the progress of the
Taft Ellender- Wagner bill toward
passage by the House, continued
last week.
The general housing bill, aimed
to encourage building of 100000
houses each year for 10 years, still
has only a slight chance of Con-
gressional approval in this session.
The Senate has approved the meas
ure. 1t is now in the House Bank
ing Committee, cheired by Wolcott,
and hearings are scheduled thru
May %. The House-with a stiff
schedule already facing it-plans
to quit for keeps on June 10.
Defiance of Wolcott's blocking
action is seen by TEW bill sup
porters in the fact that names are
being added daily to Discharge
Petition No. 6, sponsored by Rep.
Helen Gahagan Douglas 3D.,
Calif.), which would take the bill
out of the hands of the Banking
Committee and bring it to the
floor.
TEW supporters report that in
the Banking Committee the vote
is now 13 to IL in favor of the bill,

4 Delegates
Named By
L. Il. No. 45

Trenton, N. J.-Local Union a.
will send the following delegates
to the convention: Joseph Abrams
John Cooper Jr., John Krecicki and
George Smith. Lance Ansell was
named alternate.
Judges were Tom Krecicki and
James Solon. Albert Marzluft and
Steve Migliacci were tellers.
Despite the fact the polls were
open from 8 p. m. affording every
one an opportunity to vote, going
to or from work, many Of our mem
bers did not avail themselves of
this privilege. We hope the same
situation does not exist in Novem-
Der when the time rolls around for
electing those we wish to represent
US in Washington. Trenton potters
especially should keep this in mind
for we all have had enough of Mr..
Hartley and his anti-labor gang.
We failed to report in our last
letter the passing of Frederick
Foster who was foreman at the
Elite Pottery before it closed down.
He is the father of Arnold Foster,
foreman on the Lavatory Conveyor.
Our belated sympathy is extended
Bro. Arnold and all the family.
We note with pleasure the OPP
portunity given President Duffy
to appear before the American Ger
annie Society. 1t was nice ges-
ture on their part as most people
do not want to hear the other side
of the story. Incidentally we were
glad to hear the other side of the
story regarding Mr.. Reese and his
wonder plant" at Scio, Ohio.
Our Conference Committee was
to have met with the firm on May
IL to draw up an extended con-
tract. By request of the latter par
ty the meeting was postponed until
May 19. We hope to have good
news to report in our next letter.

In addition, mayors of two

De Mile Dumns Courts
And Unions To Hartley

Washington (LPA)- Smarting
under a recent Supreme Court rul-
ing which threw out his suit against
the American Federation of Radio
Artists-AFL, Cecil B. DeMille, di-
rector of Hollywood's blood and
thunder classics, cut loose on AM
erican labor and law courts with
equal venom this week. With the
hearty encouragement of Rep. Fred
Hartley (R., n. J), DeMille told
the House Labor Committee that
Congress shout enact a law pro-
tecting "the right to work"
Just what DeMille means by "the
right to work" became clear when
Rep Charles Kerston (R., Wis., be-
gan cross-examining the maestro.
"In time of depression DO the un-
employed have a right to work 2"
Kersten asked.
"The right to work doesn't mean
that every man has to be provided
with job" DeMille replied.
When Kersten asked what hap
pened to workers in a community
when their employer decided to
move his plant to another part of
the country, the movie maker an
swered this too has nothing to do
with "the right to work"

Rex Morgan and Sal Freschi when
they returned from the wage con-
ference held in Pittsburgh with Of
ficials of the American Radiator
and Standard Sanitary Corpora
tion.
Second Vice President Frank
Hull who also was present at the
Pittsburgh parley, came up from
southern California to attend the
meeting.
There was a great deal of argu-
ment about changing certain
clauses in the contract, but the ma
jority were of the opinion that the
company had negotiated the con-
tract in good faith and had no in
tentions Of working any hardships
on the members of the union

such a thing should happen we
certainly would see that such
clauses would never be carried over
into another contract.

reached the heated stage at times,
bue we were indeed fortunate in
having a man of Bro. Frank Hull's
caliber on the job.

Jiggermen Call
Special Meeting
Tuesday, May Is

Local Union No. II held their
regular weekly session on Tues
day evening with Bro. William
Duke pressing. The attendance
was poor and the results of what
occurs when members become lax
in attending their union meetings
was brought to light.
1t seems the new Jubilee shape
at the Laughlin plant is still being
made under protest. Efforts to
reach an understanding with the
firm on a fair price for these arti-
cles seems to be at a standstill. AS
is always the case, the longer it
rides, the harder it is to reach
settlement.
In an effort to bring about a
settlement, special meeting has
been called for next Tuesday eve
ming, May %, at which time every
member who is making the Jubilee
shape is urged to be present, sub
ject to a $500 fine. The Local in
tends to carry out the penalty for
so let word to the
wise be sufficient.
There are still number of ap-
prentices whose time seems to be
SO occupied that they cannot attend
the meetings. The trade as a whole
will suffer later when the time
comes for these young fellows to
take over. Lack of experience will
result in financial loss to all jig
german. Think it over fellows!
Turn over a new leaf and be ready
and willing to do your share to
promote the interest of your trade. |

in maintaining standards |

years to obtain.-O. c. II.

well as full and sincere support of
the worker.
European labor will, therefore,
have a strategic position in saving
or wrecking of the program"
Morse pointed out.
The Undersecretary stressed that
the American labor movement is
doing an outstanding job to offset
the disruptive effects of Commu-
mist activity, as shown in France
and Italy, and explain our motives
and intentions to European labor.
He added that he would appreciate
it if public recognition could be
given American labor for the part
it has played.

labor in the European Recovery
Program will prevent us from max
