Atomic Workers
Win Pay Raise

Oak Ridge (LPA) = Atomic
workers, members of the AEL
Atomic Trades & Labor Council,
triumphed last week over Carbide
& Carbon Chemical Corp. The
union, after much stalling by the
contracting firm at Oak Ridge,
won 1519c hourly pay boost.
Federal Mediation and Concila-
tion Director Cyrus Ching congrat-
ulated the union upon "its desire
to avoid injuring the public well
fare" Settlement was reached in
Ching's office when Carbide final
ly abandoned its nearly four
months refusal to grant more than
10c wage raise.
The threat of a strike by the
atomic workers resulted in an so
day Taft Hartley anti-strike in
junction. On it's termination the
Oak Ridge workers voted by an
overwhelming majority to reject
the 10c an hour offer, which Car
bide stuck to so long as the Taft
Hartley "cooling-off period" last
ed.
The Atomic Energy Commission,
which controls Oak Ridge, refused
to intervene in the dispute, claim
ing that the private contractors
who actually operate the plants
have right to set their own labor
policy.

ITU Hit By
|NLRB Again

Washington (LPA)-In a trial
examiners ruling last week the
NLRB again struck at the Int'l
Typographical Union-AFL. The
ruling was made against the union
despite the examiners admission
that the union could easily have
made refusal to bargain case
against the Long Island, n. Y.
daily paper involved.
Local 915 agreed with the paper
on a closed shop contract in July
1947, before Taft Hartley went
into effect. But the employer re-
fused to sign the agreement when
he realized the weapons the new
law would give him.
In August the local reopened ne
gotiations with him, missing its
opportunity to file a complaint
with the NLRB. Local 915 insisted
upon reinstatement of the closed
shop, and ITU working rules.
This, Trial Examiner Peter F.
Ward says, makes it guilty of re-
fusing to bargain. He holds too that
the ITU is requiring" it's locals
to decline Taft-Hartleyized con-
tracts, and orders both the ITU
and the local to start toeing the
mark.

LABOR DEMANDS CONGRESS
keep Faith With ALLIES

Washington (LPA)- Organized
labor was the most powerful force
last week supporting Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg's (R., Mich.) fight
against the attempt of the isola'
tionists to undercut the Marshal
plan for European recovery.
Both AFL and CIO, thru the be-
hind the scenes action of their leg
islative representatives, as well as
in public statements, warned that
Senate acceptance of the House
Appropriations Committees cut in
ERP funds would discredit Ameri-
ca in the eyes of Europe's demo
Gratis.
Both federations warned that a
cut in funds would reduce the eff
fectiveness of the recovery pro
gram. They pointed out that failure
to vote the full funds promised by
congress when it okayed the Mar
shall plan would dishonor the US's
word thruout the world. This can
only result in increasing the posi-
tion of totalitarian forces, AF'L
and CIO spokesmen asserted.
Joining Vandenberg in his APP
peal to the Senate Appropriations
Committee was Sen. Alben Barkley
3D., KyD, administration leader
in the Senate. While Vandenberg
appealed to his Republican collea-
CUES to disregard the schemes of
reactionary isolationists within
their ranks. Barlley called on
Democrats TO stick by the Presi-
dents program. Some southern
Democrats, in their anti-Truman
heat, have joined traditionally isola-
ZIONIST Republicans in the attempt
to sabotage the Marshall plan.
Of the COP presidential hope
fuls, Thomas Dewey and Harold
Stassen have lined up with Van
denberg, while Sen. Robert Taft
and Speaker of the House Joseph
Martin have quietly encouraged
the saboteurs. Martins name is
heard with increasing frequency
among old-guard Republicans as
their real preference for the nomi-
nation.

Maritime Unions
(CoHtinued From Page OHe)

"real and sincere collective bar
gaining may finally avoid the dis
ruption.
tissues Of union security, pref
erential employment and hiring
halls have been the subject of con-
troversy in many industries at
various times" it states. "But the
crucial issue which threatens now
to stop the entire American mer-
chant marine and foreign shipping
on the west coast, does not relate
to the desirability, operation, or
consequences Of the employment
practices in this industry. The en-
ployers' refusal to renew the cur
rent contractual provisions is
made wholly on the stated belief of
their 'illegality' under the Taft
Hartley Act. The impression quite
clearly conveyed is that, but for
this belief, the current provisions
would be renewed.
"The unions contend not so much
that the current provisions are
valid under the Taft Hartley Act
as that they should not be deemed
invalid until so declared by com
petent judicial authority"
The shipowners are trying to
get just such a declaration during
the s0-day cooling off period which
they expect the courts to order.
Atlantic and Gulf Coast operators
this week filed charges Of unfair
labor practices against the Natl
Maritime Union and the American
Radio ASSN. They are charging
the unions with attempting to Co
cree employers to violate sections
of the Taft-HartIey law which pro-
hibit employers from discriminat-
ing against nonunion men in hir-
ing.

Public Servants
Week Initiated

Madison, Wis. (LPA)-The first
observance of "Public Servants
Week" to point out the impor-
tance of the services the public
takes for granted, is termed a real
success by the national officials of
the American Federation of State,
County & Municipal Employees
AFL. The union initiated the idea
of such an observance June 7 to
IL this year.
"The simple operation of turning
on a faucet to get an unlimited sup
ply Of water contains a miracle Of
efficient service performed by pub
lie employees. The public takes this
for granted; it comes just like the
air you BREATHE" AFL President
William Green asserted in a state
ment read to observances all over
the country.
In Milwaukee, newly elected
Mayor Frank Zeidler, himself a
union member, was the guest of
honor at gala dinner. In Atlanta,
Georgia, county and city officials
are cooperating in holding open
house to acquaint citizens with the
'insides" Of their local government
machinery. And in Connection, Gov.
James Shannon opened the week
with luncheon sponsored by
SCME in Hartford. Banquets We're
held in Baton Rouge and in upstate
New York, and radio time obtained
in Cincinnati and Ell Paso. In the
Texas city, the broadcasts were in
both English and Spanish.

arbitration"
All three declared that the 151ac-
an-hour wage increase proposed by
the board may have been adequate
"A year ago as second round
raise, but was entirely unacceptable
now, since it would still leave the
employees 16c an hour behind the
cost of living.
All three also cited many abuses
in working conditions which the
boards recommendations failed to
correct-and which the unions are
determined to clean up by changes
in working rules.
President Glover also insisted
that when the government seized
the railroads and enjoined strike,
it "owed an obligation" to give
the workers a fair deal.
"But not one thing has been done
to protect the welfare of these men
who, we are told, are so important
that they can paralyze the coun-
try" Glover said.
Meanwhile, two other "operat-
ing" Brotherhoods- the Railroad
Trainmen and Railway Conductors
which last November reached a
settlement with the managements
for 1870 increase and several
changes in working rules announc-
ed that new demands will shortly
be served on the railroads.
President A. f. Whitney of the
Trainmen and President II. w,
Fraser of the Conductors explain
ed the two unions would seek a 25c
wage boost-the minimum increase
to be $3.50 a day-plus a large
of rules revisions.

NLRB's Fuce
(ConiiHned From Page One)

Augustine Kelley 3D., Pa to
probe the matter further, Herzog
did not explain why, presuming
the local hadn't filed the Taft t-Hart-
ley affidavits, NLRB jumped on this
point to dismiss the case when the
union had made the legitimate
point that the particular workers
didn't fall easily within the juris-
diction of any one local. Nor did
he justify the boards treating a
case the facts of which it had not
properly investigated as a "prece-
dent making decision" complete
with a special press release accus-
ing OWIU of not petitioning the
board in good faith.

Comment On
World Events

The American Federation of La
Dor Free Trade Union Committed
does some plain speaking in dis
cussing the apparent Russian eff
forts to squeeze the Western pow
ers out of Berlin. In view of the
Russians latest activities-part of
a "series of deliberate and sys-
tematic provocations"-the words
of the committe, its comments are
especially timely and pertinent.
Berlin "has become a crucial
point in the worldwide conflict be-
tween democracy and totalitarian-
ism," the committe says in its In
ternational Free Trade Union News
The Russians provocations direct
ed against the representatives of
the Western powers in Berlin "can-
not be explained in terms of per-
sonal recklessness and ambition on
the part of the Soviet military COM
manders; these acts constitute the
latest well-planned manifestation
of the Kremlin's policy of expan-
sionisb and aggression"
Stalin's policy, the committee de-
clares, has now reached the same
stage as that of Hitler after the
subjection of Austria. Like the
Nazi policies at that stage, the
aggressive acts of the Russian die
tatorship now succeed one another
without respite"

The committee continues:
"The situation in Berlin is a re-
minder to world democracy that,
despite the setbacks Stain has suf-
fered in France. and in Italy and
despite his failure to prevent adop-
tion of the Marshall Plan, he has
not in the least abandoned his in
tention to wreck the European re-
covery program and, eventually,
to bring Western Europe under
his totalitarian rule.
"The AFL has consistently en-
phasized that the success Of the
Marshall Plan and the defense of
democracy in Europe will be de-
cisively determined by the econo-
mic and political evolution of Ger
many. Although many in demo-
cratic countries unfortunately still
fail to realize the Importance Of
economic reconstruction and of an
unhampered development of demo-
cratic institutions in Germany,
Stain is fully conscious of this.
"For this reason he is sparing
no effort to fortify his position in
Germany. To wreck the prospects
of German democracy and to block
the recovery Of German economy
would shatter the whole structure
of the Marshall Plan which is
based on the integration of Ger
many's productive capacities in a
continental plan of European re-
construction"

The committee goes on to say
that the Russians seek to obtain
full control of Berlin and set up
a puppet Communist government to
pose as a government" for all
Germany.
"0nce in full possession of Ber-
lin" it is pointed out, "Stalin would
be in a position to paralyze any at
tempts in Western Germany aimed
toward economic reconstruction
within the framework of the Mar
shall Plan.
"That is why the fate of Berlin
is today of crucial Importance to
the entire world that is why the
Western powers must continue to
remain resolute and calm in con
fronting Russian attempts to dis
lodge them from the city by pin
pricks, insults and other acts.
Such a firm attitude is made all
the more necessary by the fact that
the Russians are playing with fire
and are not only quite probably
aware of it but are consciously
specializing on the effects of this
dangerous game.
"The only way to stop Soviet ag-
gression and preserve the peace
of the world is to make the Rus
sian dictators understand that they
would be thoroughly mistaken if
