Musicians Move
To Lift Bon On
Making Records

New York (LPA)-The Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians-AFL,
thru President James c. Petrillo,
has begun another effort to reach
an agreement which will make pos
sible the lifting of the unions ban
on making phonograph records, it
was learned last week.
In place of the union-administ-
cred welfare fund which was made
illegal by the Taft Hartley law,
AIM is suggesting the creation of
a trustee-administered fund. The
union would retain veto over the
i m p artia | trustees expenditure
from the fund, which would be fin
anced by royalties from the sale Of
records, and used for the relief of
unemployed musicians.
Record company heads are re-
ported studying the unions pro-
posals but they still are non-com-
initial.

TIL Act, Wage -hour law AssaiIed As
Electrical Workers Open Convention

Atlantic City, N. ]. QLNS).-
Bitter denunciation of the Taft
Hartley Act and criticism of the
Wage-Hour Act as obsolete be-
cause of its inadequate minimum
pay provisions featured opening
sessions of the biggest convention
ever held by the international Bro
therhood of Electrical Workers in
its 57-year history.
About $500 delegates and as
many more relatives and nondele-
gate union members attended and
hailed the progress of the organ
ization, which today has a MEM
bership of over 450,000 covering
all branches of the electrical indus
try in nearly 1,450 local unions in
the United States, its possessions
and Canada.
Daniel w. Tracy, president of
the brotherhood and former Assist
ant Secretary of Labor, vigorously
assailed the Taft Hartley Act, de-
claring the law was intended to
decimate the strength of organized
labor through restriction of united
effort"
The union leader charged that
the law was drafted so that it does
not penalize union officers who re-
fuse to file anticommunist affidav-
its, but penalties the union men,
bership by depriving it of proceed
ures originally provided by the
Wagner Act. He said that trade
unions resented being singled out
to take oaths of anticommunism
and branded "unfounded and un-
just" the suspicion cast upon their
leaders.
In Tracy's opinion, no communist
should be allowed to hold office in
any organization, trade union or

DEWEY URGES FIGHT
ON WORK ACCIDENTS

New York City (LNS).-Wise
cooperation of government, man
agement and labor in a sound pro-
gram of accident prevention was
urged by Gov. Thomas +. Dewey in
a letter to Miss Mary Donlon, pre-
sident of the International Asso-
citation of Industrial Accident
Boards and Commissions. The mes
sage was read before 1,1O0 dele
gates from some 40 states, Puerto
Rico and 8 Canadian provinces, at
tending the associations annual
convention.
Dewey declared that "now more
than ever there is urgent need for
cooperative action to check the ris-
ing curve Of work accidents"
There are too many, far too
many, avoidable accidents" Dewey
said. Although he noted that New
York State Workmen's Compensa-
ton Board statistics showed that
"as a result of adequate industrial
codes and effective code enforce
ment, the ration of accidents dir
ectly attributable to dangerous,
unguarded machines has been re-
duced," he declared that accidents
continue, nearly everywhere, to
climb to new highs"
