Washington, D. c. QLNS) =
The need for skilled workers in
Europe and what this country can
do-and is doing-to assist industry
in some of the countries there in
the development of craftsmen
through apprenticeship were ex-
planned by William F. Patterson,
director, Bureau of Apprenticeship,
u. S. Department of Labor, at the
convention of the West Virginia
State Federation of Labor at Hunt

on information he obtained on a

INDUSTRY TRYING TO HIDE '48
PROFITS UNDER WAGE BOOSTS

washington LPA)-DlP lnduS-
try has done it again. They're try
ing to make wage increases the
"scapegoat" for a new round OF
price increases.
The charges were made this week
by the CLOS Dept Of Research and
Education, and reinforced by speci-
fic figures on the auto industry
made public by United Auto Work
ers President Walter Reuther.
In the current issue of Economic
Outlook, the researchers describe
how big industry-which early IN
1948 was betting on lower prices
because of consumer resistance, and
therefore opposed wage increases
by June had completely changed
it's tune.
Reason for the change was that
industry now saw it could make
higher profits if it found scape-
goat which could be sacrificed be-
fore the public. Consumer resis-
tance didn't matter as much, be-
cause with passage of the European
recovery program and the 70-group
air force appropriations the gov
ernment again became the main
purchaser from heavy industry.
So, industry went thru the mo-
tions of raising wages by a "token"
amount Of about 8 per cent or .
per cent. And it boosted profits,
by an even greater amount" be-
cause it linked the wage increases
with price boosts.
To prove this, President Reuther
asserted that the five major auto
companies who make figures pub
lie "will reap $5S2, 100000 in addi-
ticnal revenue as a result of their
recent price increases. The total
cost of their wage increases is
S152 100000. Therefore their price
Increases will bring them in nearly
four times the increase in labor
COSTS"
The five companies cited-GM
Chrysler, Studebaker, Nash and
Kaiser Fraser-made in the first
half of 194S an average profit on
an annual basis of 28.9 per cent
on invested capital. Says Reuther
"They could have absorbed the en-
tire cost of the wage increase out
of profits and still made a ID.
pei cent return on their stockhold-
ers' investment, three to four times
the 6 per cent to 8 per cent re-
turn which stockholders in most
companies would consider satisfac-
tory"

.NLRB Decision
Opens Way For
The Closed Shop

New York (LPA)-An NLRB de-
cision this week has officers of
Local BIB of the Building Service
Employees Union-AFL thinking
about rewriting their new contract
to substitute closed shop for union
shop provisions.
Recently, the big local building
employees has been signing union
shop contracts with most New York
property owners, and the NLRB
has conducted authorization polls
legalizing the security contracts
in over 1900 buildings.
Now the NLRB has ruled that
an office building in Kansas City,
Mo-, ''is essentially local in char
acter" and outside the Taft-H Hart
ley law. The large building involv-
ed in the case is one which houses
the offices Of number Of rail
roads, Western Union, and truck
ing company.
Since the board comedies that the
operation Of this building doesn't
"affect interstate commerce" it has
virtually assured building service
employees in office buildings as well
as residential buildings that they're
free Of Taft-Hartley.
Thomas s. Young, secretary Of
Local BIB, said that union leaders
are considering whether or not to
ask for change in their contracts
to take advantage of the ruling
"There's nothing to stop US from
asking for the closed shop" he
said. "But," he emphasized, mo
decision has been reached as to
whether or not to reopen contract
negotiations now"
NLRB Regional Director Charles
E. Douds admitted that it seemed
to him that Young's Interpretation
of the decision is correct.
This doesn't mean, Of course, that
the NLRB is retreating very far
from its willingness to apply Taft
Hartley to pretty near anything.
This week also, it handed down a
decision holding that city street
car system affects interstate COM
merce.

Unions Sacrifice
To Save The Opera

New York (LPA)- BY tempor-
arily abandoning all their major
demands, AFL entertainment
unions have won their battle to
keep the Metropolitan Opera in
business for the 1948-49 season.
This week the Nets managers an
nounced that the famous opera
house will be open this year, and
agreed to work with the unions to-
ward the establishing Of social
security system for musical artists
and other opera workers.
Even before the Associations ar
rogant announcement several weeks
ago that the Met would not per-
form this year, the AFL locals had
agreed to forego wage demands
because of the operas financial
crisis. They let loose a publicity
barrage against the high-handed
directors, brought them back to the
bargaining table, and forced a with
dyawal of the cancellation notice.
But the unions still wanted to
get some sort Of social security
guarantees for their members. The
Met is classified as charitable
institution, and so is exempt from
the compulsory features of state
and federal social security laws.
The agreement finally arrived at
provides for continued union-man-
agement efforts to work out fl
nancially sound method for getting
the Met under New York unemploy-
ment compensation laws. If the op-
era applies voluntarily, the state
law provides for its inclusion in un-
employment benefit plans. The AS
sociation also agreed to try to get
social security credits for its en-
ployes from radio and recording
companies which "pick up" their
performances.
"This agreement was made as
result of the unions sacrifice of
wage increases and social welfare
programs for the season 1948-49,"
a statement issued by heads of IL
AFL affiliates declared. "We were
motivated by the fact that we want
ed to insure the continuation of
opera at the Metropolitan"
The union leaders warned the
Association: "We wish to make it
clear that we are counting on the
Metropolitan board of directors, as
it has agreed, to start Immediately
the exploration of methods for
keeping the opera house running in
future seasons. This should be on
basis where reasonable needs, in
cluding social welfare benefits can
be met and the people Of this coun-
try assured of the continuing exist
ence of one of its greatest cultural
institutions"

New York (LPA)-Textile man.
ufacturers are operating mills on
a four-day week, and otherwise
holding down production, not from
hunger, but strictly for profit.
That's one way of describing the
analysis of what's wrong with
textile manufacturing this season,
as seen by President Emil Rieve of
the Textile Workers Union of Am
erica.
Normal consumer demand in a
full-employment economy, such as
we now enjoy, is ample to keep the
mills running on a five-day sched-
ule if prices are reasonable" Rieve
said.
"But prices are not reasonable.
On most fine cotton goods, they
more than doubled between June
1916, when effective price control
ended, and February 1948."

OF all the designers, Nettie Ros-
enstein has the vision of designing
clothes to make a woman look her
hest. She continues the shoulder
pad, but not with exaggeratlon.
She makes the waist look slim,
but not by squeezing or clamplng.
She does it with intricate cut and
adept scanning. Her skirts look
slim, but move with grace. She
uses all-over pin tucking in giant
chevron pattern or in IA flounce et-
feet of alternating vertical and
horizontal bands. She masses full
ness in back or front, in godets
and cascades on afternoon and din
ner clothes and on dressy suits.
Quaker capes and deep cuffs are
found in her designs.
The most outstanding coat IN
her collection is in fireman red
wool. with shield shaped, double
breasted front, fitted waistline,
rounded shoulders, high-up collar
and deep box pleats in the skirt.
Rosenstein colors for fall feature
taupe, smoke gray, bachelor but
ton blue, evergreen and fireman
red, besides traditional black which
she uses in her collection more than
any other designer.
You can dig into your cedar
chests and attics and bring out
those fur collars and cuffs you

them for trimming this year.
For nine years fur hasn't been
used so lavishly as trimming. Now,

guests were Governor Garvey and
Mayor Udall; that evening an in
formal party was given directly
after Sabbath services. Saturday
evening there was a huge ban

others who trudged off the bus

express my idea of this Conven-
ton is that "IT WAS JUST OUT
