AFL Council Favors Control Of Prices
Iron Workers Of Conn. Secure New Agreement

All AFL iron workers in Connec- ticut received an increase of 25c an hour this week, as the result of me- gotiations between James O'Kane, business manager of Local 424, New Haven, and Frank COnnor, business manager of Local Is, Hartford, acting for organized la- bOr; and C. L. Nelson, Bridgeport, and R. C. Taylor, representing the Connecticut Steel Fabricators & Erectors Assn. The 25c increase covers all classifcatiOns of work. brings the rate to $2.5O per hour, and under the new contract, con- tinues until June 30, 1850.
 Due to the fact that this is long range program to stabilize the indus try, an effective date on all work as of February 1, l948, was agreed upon for the increase.
 The new agreement is the result of four months of negotiations, and contains clause which permits an automatic increase on or after July l, l949, if the cost of living in. creases more than l596. This is the clause:
 Should the cost of living index for the area as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the month of April, l94o, be more than fifteen per- cent above the cost of living index for the area as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the month of January, l948, then an adjustment in wages shall be made for the period from July 1, l94o to June 30, 1850.
 This adjustment in wages shall be made on the basis of one-half of the amount of the percentage in excess of l5% multiplied by a $2.5O hourly rate and then corrected to nearest multiple of O5. The resulting amount shall then apply uniformly to all trades and be added to the hourly wage rate for the period from 7-1-49 to 6-3O-5O.
 sslf the cost of living index as stated above is less than 15%o above the cost of living index of January l, l948, then there shall be no change in the wage rates of any of the individual Unions during the period of this Agreement

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

Every member of the Conn. Re- publican delegation in the House of Representatives voted for the Knut- son ''tax reduction" bill Monday. And, in case John Bailey, Demo- cratic state chairman, hasn't heard, 63 Democrats voted with the Repub- licans, giving the COP. enough votes to override possible veto by President Truman.
 Here are important figures for all building tradesmen to know and remember:
 l. Building trades wage rates increased 5l% between June 1889 and January l948. In the same period, the average wholesale price of building materials advanced lO9 per cent. Also, in the same period that the building trades wage rates advanced 519o, the cost of living increased 696. In other words, the real wages of building tradesmen today is l89o less than it was in 1859. True, the building tradesman now he is working longer hours but the American way is to work full time, and pay extra for overtime. The above figures are based on off, cial reports of the US. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
 That some federal courts, at least, are shy about issuing injunc- tiOns under the Taft-HartIey Act, was made clear in two decisions handed down in New York last week.
 Judge s. J. Ryan refused to grant an injunction against Local l of the Wine & Distillery Workers Un. iOn-AFL when the NLRB alleged that the union had set up a second ary boycott against Schenley Dis tillers Corp. products.
 The board charged that the re- fusal of workers in two firms in the New York area to handle SchenIev liquor was secondary boycott in support of a strike in distiIIery in Frankfort, Ky. But the court denied that this was the case as the Frank. fort distillers had gone back to work in November.
 In another case involving a tech. nicians' union affiliated with the United Office & Professional Work ers-ClO, Judge s. H. Rifkind in throwing out an NLRB injunction request held that the boycotting of firm that is in effect a subsid. iary of company being struck does not constitute secondary boycott within the meaning of the law. The New Haven Board of Alder men Monday unanimously voted to request Congress to extend rent control without any additional crip- bling amendments. Central labor bodies in other cities of the state should ask their legislative bodies to take similar action.

Building Trades
 Wage Scales Lag WayBehindCosts

Wage rates of union workers in building trades in New England ad- vanced one percent during the last half of 1947, compared to rise of Is percent between July 1946 and July 1947, it was announced today by Wen dell D. Macdonald, Regional Director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, US. Department of Labor. A quarterly sur vey of seven major crafts in seven representative New England cities re- vealed that the average hourly wage scale of SLY for union workers ln January 1948 has risen Is cents an hour since July 1947 and PA cents since July 1o46.
 The increase of 51 percent in New England union wage rates between June 1889 and January 1948 has kept pace with the national rise of 52 per cent in 75 large cities.
 The hourly rate increases, how ever, have been OvershadOwed by increases which have occurred in the prices of living essentials and building materials. From June l939 to December l947 the Bureaus con- sumers' price index rose 69 percent and the average wholesale price of building materials advanced lO9 percent.
 Of the 21,OOO workers surveyed in the seven New England cities, 24OO received increases during the last half of 1947 while 10000 benefited from pay rises between July 1946 and July 1947. The amounts of increases varied from five to 27.5 cents an hour during the former period and from 10 to 37.5 cents during the latter period. Average hourly rates on January ?, 1948 for the seven cities combined ranged from $126 for building laborers to $2.18 for plasterers.

Repeal T-H Law,
 Prof. Pope Tells R & L Council

At fellowship supper of the Re ligion and Labor Council of New Haven held at the YWCA last Mon day some 60 representatives of labor and religion groups met for dis cussion of the Taft-Hartley Law under the leadership of Prof. Liston Pope, of the Yale Divinity School.
 Prof. Pope gave careful descrip- tion of the provisions of the Law, and concluded that while some of the laws provisions might be good, the total results, taken altogether, would be bad. In particular, it throws collective bar gaining back into the realm of sheer power. The sixty day cooling off" period, Prof. Pope commented, is more likely to be period of re-armament for both sides in a dispute. His sug- gestion was that the law should be repealed, with certain good pro- visions reenacted later" As a\result Of the law there has been greater in- terest in political action from all branches of labor; the law has actually served to rejuvenate some unions and leaders in labor.
 Prior to the program a brief busi- ness session was held in which the following officers for this year were elected: Chairman, Prof. Robert C. Dentan, Berkeley Divinity School Vice-Chairman, Harold V. Feinmark, Local 47, of Typos; and Treasurer, Mrs. Rose Hess, Local 125, Shirt Makers Union.
 The new executive secretary, Miss Ruth Hester, Yale Divinity School student, was introduced and she pre- sented a suggested program for the year.
 Dr, Willard Uphaus, executive secre- tary of the National Religion and Labor Foundation, gave brief report about the National RLF Conference held i'll Pittsburgh this month.
 The February meeting will be on "Peacetime Military Conscription," and will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 17, 5:3O, at the YWCA. Visitors, as we'll as Council members. are invited.

A Sure Way Of Getting Action

Chicago LPA) - Recourse to la bor's only real weapon, the decision to strike, last week brought Chicago's 14,OO0 school teachers their pay checks which had been held up for five weeks by the City Council.
 The checks, first on the new 1948 pay schedule, were held up because the City Council had not taken action on a record-breaking $103,0OO,0OO school board budget with an accom- panying $97,OOO,OOO tax levy. The near ly 5000 Chicago members of the Teachers Union-AFL authorized their executive board to call strike if the checks were not released or if the Council refused to approve the new budget with its increased salary scale.

Some Lawyers Just Won't Like This Decision

Washington (LPA) = The Natl Labor Relations Board last week over ruled an Illinois insurance company'S plea that the lawyers in its New York office are professional advisors, not just plain professional employees, en- titled to organize for collective bar gaining.
 In a decision involving the Illinois Lumbermen's Casualty Co.,, in which it was pointed out that the lawyers in volved are paid flat salaries of from $500 to $3000 per year, and have no choice as to the cases they handle, the NLRB denied that the anti-union code of the American Bar Association has any relevance to the mems right to organize.
 The board followed the same req soning in its further ruling that insur- ance adjustors also are entitled to or ganize. It pointed out that they work within fixed adjustment limit, sub ject to detailed rules, and are not rep resentatives of management within the meaning of the act.

 forces in our country who are com mitting economic atrocities in the name of free enterprise. We call upon Congress now to disavow the reactiOnary influence of the NAM and take up its duty of arresting the price spiral from the point of view of the great mass of American consumers
 IMMEDIATE ACTION''
 As a ''minimum program of i'm. mediate action" the AFL called upon Congress to:
 1-Investigate ''the vast and un-
 justified spread'' between the
 prices received by farmers and
 the prices paid by urban con-
 sumers for food;
 2-Enact an excess profits tax to
 discourage prOfiteering; S-Empower the President to im-
 pose ratiOning and selective
 price controls on vital cOmmOdi-
 AOS HI SAOAt SuPPAys 4-Extend rent control.
 Admitting that there are "too many complicated and inter-related factors to make any pat solution feasible" the council said that it is sure that adop- ton of this program would tend to discourage further imitation and might begin to lease prices gradually back to their proper level"
 At an early session of the councils mid-winter meeting it reiterated its support of the Marshall plan for European recovery.
 GULL BEFORE STORM"
 In another important statement the top leaders of nearly 100000 or ganized workers warned that the present industrial peace in the US. is "a Hull before the storm" It believes that "when present collective bargain ing contracts expire, the most difficult period in the history of labor relations in this country" will enSue.
 The council called attention to the fact that even employer testi- mOny in NLRB hearings bears out labOr's contention that Taft-HartIey is detrimental to constructive labor management relations. It charged that government prosecution of legitimate activities of unions now threatens to break out in a rash" of injunction suits and other assists to employers attempting to take ad- vantage of the unfair provisions of the law.
 The AFL spokesmen pointed to the publishers drive against the Int1 Typographical Union as prime ex- ample of the developing anti-union campaign.
 POLITICAL ACTION
 After the first meeting of the coun- Gil, President William Green said that support of the Hartley Act would be the principal yardstick on which labor would determine its opposition to reelection of members of the 80th Con- gress. He asserted that the AFL's 'very life depends upon the elimination of this law"
 Joseph Keenan, secretary of the Chicago Federation of Labor, and a vice-president of the War Production Board, was suggested by the subcom- mittee as assistant director of Labor's League for Political Education.

$500 Negroes Pay
Poll Tax I'm
Arkansas County

Pine Bluff, Ark. July 10
The Jefferson County Tax Col
lectors' office here today report
ed that $500 Negroes had been
issued deceipts for their payment
Of Poll Tax.
The recent number of Poll Tax
paid by Negroes was believed due
to the work of Negro Organiza-
lions, which has grown in streng-
tn, and which are working
throughout the city and county
for memberships and advocating
payment of the poll tax. Slightly
more than one-third of the en-
tire number of poll tax receipts
were issued to Negroes.
However, it is believed that
poll tax payments in Jefferson
County may not reach the all
time high of more than $4,000
last year. This was indicated by
the figures issued here Saturday.
Only 9,0S5 had been issued at
the tax collectors office accord
ing to the report which ended at
noon Saturday.
