Fact-Fiinders Hear
lMeat Strike Story

Chicago (LPA)- AS last week
ended, leaders of the United Pack
inghouse Workers were telling a
Presidential fact-finding commits
sion why the union had to strike to
get a cost-of-living wage increase
from the "big four" meat packers
and number of Independents.
The committee will meet daily
with labor and industry spokesmen
until Wednesday, after which it
will have a week to submit its re-
port to President Truman.
AS the strike which began last
Tuesday became felt throughout
the nation, prices of meat and hides
started upwards.
While UPW strengthened it's
picket lines thruout the nation, AFL
teamsters' union locals in New
York agreed not to deliver meat
to struck plants. Farmers are cut
ting their deliveries to slaughter
houses.
UPW President Ralph Helstein,
in keeping with the previous policy
of the union which attempted to
avoid strike situation, offered to
recognize the three-man fact-find-
ing commission, headed by Wiscon-
sin law professor Nathan Feinsing

the rights of strikers. If lam wins
boards attitude will be toward
the long g-drawn-out contest it will
again commence collective bargain
ing with a company whose anti
unionism is well established. Should
the board so rule on the eligibility
of those it permitted to vote in the
elections as to put the union in
the minority it will have lost all
right to continue picketing and the
strikers all rights to their jobs.
In another case, lam is asking
NLRB to take jurisdiction away
from the Penn State Labor Board
which dismissed an lam case
against the Red Star Bus Lines,
and then called a bargaining rep
resentation election at the request
of a union not registered under
the Taft Hartley law.
lam contends that since the bus
line derives all the equipment
which lam members service from
out of the state it is in inter-
state commerce and therefore un-
der federal rather than state regu-
lations.

crease IN pay
The Brotherhood as well as the
company are all very proud Of the
added conveniences this new addi-
tion will afford. Our crowded mould
shop will now expand. The finish
ers in the casting department will
have an individual, air conditioned
room. A conveyor system is being
set up from green ware inspection
to the spray booth, eliminating the
pushing Of loaded ware trucks.
It has also been rumored that a
similar conveyor is to be installed
to carry the finished production
from the kiln cars to shipping or
final inspection.
All this, including many more
this expansion will pro-
vide, makes US feel we have done a
good job, although we are in our
in the pottery game. The
effort put forth has not been in
vain. We have made a good pro-
duct. We have served management
well. Otherwise, this eventful day,
the lighting of kiln No. 2, could
never have been.
The cherished satisfaction of the
proof of all of this, was clearly
made plain in the congratulatory
speeches made by both manage
ment and official dignataries pres
ent. The plant shut down for an
hour that all might enjoy the mo-
mentous occasion.
This chalks up as another step
forward for the Pacific Coast divi-
sion of Universal Pottery and Lo-
cal 214. We are proud of the COM
pany for which we are employed.
We are proud we have enabled
them to advance. And last, but by
no means least, we are proud we
are members of the National Bro
therhood Of Operative Potters.-

lerage factory of construction wage
now is, it is above the average in
the service trades and many others.
"The bill makes further upward
revisions. 1t makes proportionate
changes in the benefits payable to
partially disabled workers. In cases
where the worker dies, it provides
higher statutory maximum than
for disabilities, namely, $35 per
week.
"The bill also for the first time in
80 years, changes the distribut-
tions to the widow and dependent
children of workers who died as the
result of an occupational disease or
as the result of an industrial ac-
cident.
"Under these latter revisions the
bill permits the dependents to
reach their maximum of two
thirds of the workers wage where
there is widow and 2 surviving
children. This maximum was not
reached under existing law unless
there was widow and 4 surviving
children.
"Other appropriate changes were
made with regard to benefits pay
able to other dependent relatives.
In all of these revisions the prin-
ciple of calculating benefits at two
thirds of the weekly wage base is
continued unchanged.

Article From 0. C. Minority Report
Draws Criticism On tn Prepared
From Membership By Congressman

Washington UPA)-This week
two Senators and two Representa-
tives, all Democrats, will issue a
minority report differing sharply
with the report of the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Labor
Management Relations which laud-
ed the Taft Hartley Act.
The four dissenting members of
the committee are Senators James
<. Murray (Mont.), Claude Pepper
(Fla.). Rep. John Lesinski Mich }
and Rep. Augustine Kelley (Pa.).
Congressman Lesnski revealed
last week that the reactionary ma
jority of the committee kept the
text of the report secret from its
pro-union members until a day be-
fore the vote for or against the
200 page document was to be taken
in the Committee. 1t was the same
tactic as the one used in the pas
sage of Taft-Hartley, Lesinski
pointed out.
A statement issued by the four
man minority said that the job of
the committee is to effectively
study labor-management relations,
and the effect of legislation upon
them-not to serve "merely as a
device for justifying the action of
Congress in passing the Taft-Hart-
ley Act"
Altho the minority has not yet
completed its study Of the first six
months of Taft Hartley, and of the
majority "white-wash" report, the
four Legislators have already reach
ed several conclusions:
l. Taft-Hartley cannot be cred
tied with reducing strikes.
2. In saying that Taft-Hartley
has proved workable the major
ity Of the Committee ignores the
large number of bootleg con-
tracts" in which employers tacitly
admit that the law, if rigidly OBJ
served, would disturb good rela-
tions with unions.
8. The Committee ignored the
positive harm done to labor in some
industies by the prohibition against
the closed shop.
4. Taft-Hartley's administration
by NLRB has been inept and cost
ly.

Railroad Workers
Push Pension Bill

Washington (LPA)-A 20 per
cent increase in pensions and an
nuities to railroad workers was pro-
posed in a bill introduced in Con-
gress this week by Congressman
Robert Crosser d., Ohio).
+ The bill, which would amend the
Railroad Retirement Act, was back
ed by the Railway Labor Execu-
tives Association, which represents
20 unions with over 100000 MEM
hers on the railroads.
The unions are also pushing for
acton on another Crosser measure
which would increase unemplOy-
ment and sickness benefits under
the Railroad Unemployment Insur-
aLce Act by 25 per cent.
At the same time, they are bat
tlii.g against a bill introduced by
Rep. Richard M. Simpson (R., Pa.)
on behalf of the railroad manage
melIts, which would slash the pay
roll tax on the rail carriers for un-
insurance from 3 per
cent to u of l per cent.

Strong Pleas. For Repeal
At final congressional hearings
all branches of organized labor
united in strong pleas for repeal.
Lewis G. Hines, AFL national leg
islative representative, declared
prompt action would ease initiation
ary pressures and stimulate great
er production of fats in meeting
the food needs of democratic ma
tions throughout the world.
"If this Congress feels true con-
cern for hte pocketbooks and health
of millions of little people in Am
erica, if you really want to pre-
serve free competitive enterprise,
then here is a good place to start.
Laws such as this anti-margarine
act fetter free competition, impose
a hardship upon the low-income
family, bolster initiation and are
no longer even of significance to
the selfish monopoly minded pres
sure group they were originally de-
signed to protect"
Congress rarely has such an op-
portunity as this to advance the
welfare of so many consumers and

Albany, n. Y. ILNS)-The Con-
din Wadlin bill increasing benefits
payable under the Workmen's Com
pensation Act in disability and
death cases has become law with
signing by Gov. Dewey. The bill
had the support of both the New
York State Federation of Labor
and the State Congress of Indus
trial Organizations.
In a memorandum filed with his
approval, Dewey hailed the legisla-
tion as continuing New York's po-
sition as a leader in the field of
workmen's compensation. He noted
that the last revision of the law
was based upon 1914 wage scales
and said:
"Under the existing law the
benefits provided a disabled work
er equaled two-thirds of the work
er's wage in cases of total disabil-
ity, but in any event limited to $2o
per week. Consequently wages in
excess of SAP per week do not en-
ter into the computation of the
workers benefits.
Maximum Increased
This bill, without disturbing the
two-thirds formula, increases the
statutory maximum from $28 to
$32 per week. 1t accordingly gives
recognition in the computation to
wages up to $48 per week. While
the latter is not as high as the av-

Any doubts the writer may have
been harboring in his mind as to
whether or not the members of Lo-
cal Union sc read the Potters Her
aid, were cast aside following our
last meeting.
This bit of information was re-
vealed when your o. C.'s last letter
turned out to the subject of dis
cussion at the meeting. 1t seems
my report on shop committee work
and the compensation derived for
such service, was a little to severe.
In fact, many who have not attend
ed meeting for some time were
on hand to join in the verbal blast
hurled at the writer. Some even
went so far as to try and make
personal issue of my remarks. To
these individuals, and the member
ship as a whole, the writer's shoul-
ders are broad and will take the
criticism directed at him with this
one thought in mind, my sole in
tent was to cdri attention. 10 the
harmful effects such practices will
have on our treasury, if not curbed
in time.
As to the criticism leveled about
the piece-work proposition, the
seems to favor such a plan
and regardless of what may be
written about it, we are still a
democratic organization where ma
jority rules.
The meeting was we'll attended
and was the best disciplined meet
ing since our new president took the
gavel. 1t don't take long to begin to
operate in a systematic procedure
" ith the help of the membership.
Since our last increase, the trade
has no set rate for the graduating
pay of apprentices and this has
caused quite a bit of discussion
lately. This matter may have been
overlooked by our conference COM
mittee but we would like some en-
lightment on it from headquarters.
Our next meeting will be held on
April 5. 1t would be nice if the
same enthusiasm could be shown
at this meeting as at our last ses-
,ion.-O. c. sc.
