state apprenticeship councils and
the Bureau of Apprenticeship for
the development of skilled workers,
not only in the trowel trades but
in all the building crafts"
Stressing the necessity of the
best possible training for appren-
tices, Patterson said:
"Only high quality apprentice
ship will produce the all-around
skilled workers industry needs and
will enable apprentices to become
fully qualified jouneymen. The
quality of apprenticeship can be
raised by more careful selection of
applicants for training, thus reduc-
ing the turnover among appren-
tees; by improving the job train
ing and the related classroom in
struction. This is being accomplish
ed in a number Of cities in the var
ious building trades by the en-
ployment of a full-time supervisor
of apprentices whose salary is paid
by a union, contractors or both
groups" Patterson said.

PENSlON-BARGAINlNG, NON-RED
AFFlDAvITS, UPHELD BY COURT

Chicago LPA) = The labor
movement applauded last week a
unanimous decision by a US. Cir
cult Court of Appeals that pension
and welfare plans are as much a
collective bargaining question as
are wages and other conditions of
employment. Unions regretted,
however, another ruling in the
same case, brought by the United
Steelworkers of America, that the
non-Communist affidavit provision
of the Taft Hartley law is consti-
tutional.
That the appellate courts ruling
on the pension issue foreshadows
the ultimate decision of the Sup
rene Court was not doubted. The
fact that the three-man court di-
vided two to one on the constitu-
tionality of the affdavits clause of
the anti-union statute left open the
question of what the highest court
will have to say about the point.
Ernest r. Ballard, counsel for
the Inland Steel Co., which doesn't
want to sit down with USA and
discuss adequate retirement and
welfare clauses for its workers,
said that he'll carry the case to the
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-09-30

Supreme Court. The case reached
the Circuit Court when USA ap'
pealed the NLRB's ruling that il
must discuss pensions with the un-
ion of its employees. The court de-
cision amounts to complete accept
ance of the NLRB position.
Union lawyers analyzing the de-
cision declare that the courts find
ings require all unionized compan-
les, in interstate commerce, wheth-
er or not they now have pension
plans, to consult the organization
of their workers on all aspects of
the question.
On the affdavits provision of
Taft Hartley, two judges said that
Congress was rational to conclude
that members of the Communist
Party are much more likely than
others to misuse the powers which
inhere in union office"
Dissenting Judge j. Earl Major,
however, commented: "The facts
REQUIRED in the affidavits are of
such an uncertain and indefinite ma
ture as to afford little more than
a fertile field for speculation and
guess"

NJ. c. Workers Vote To Keep TWUA
In First tn Decerfific cfion Poll

Greensboro, n. G. (LPA)-De-
spite a propaganda drive that ran
the gamut, from appeals to keep
the plant one happy family, to a
play on racial prejudice, the Tex
tile Workers Union Of America last
week won the first NLRB election
in the south in which an employer
tried to get the union "decertifed"
as bargaining agent.
At the key unit in the Cone chain
of cotton bills, the Proximity Mill
here, workers voted GIL to 484 to
keep TWUA as their representa-
tive. The victory is expected to
slow down the agitation by employ
ers for liberalization elections,
which are one Of the new wrinkles
introduced by the Taft Hartley law.
Herman Cone, head of the chain
which has other members Of the
Cone family as officers, made an
emotional speech to all hands on
each shift at the mill the day be-
fore the election. Almost tearfully,
he told the workers that if they
voted for TWUA they'd be voting

TroweI Trades Lead Building Groups
In Increasing Number OF Apprentices

Montreal.-The percentage in
crease during the past year in the
number of apprentices employed
was greater in the trowel trades
than in any other of the building
trades, William +. Patterson, dir
ector, Bureau Of Apprenticeship, I.
S. Department of Labor said.
In an address at the convention
of the Operative Plasterers' and
Cement Finishers' international
Association of the United States
and Canada Patterson stated.
"On August l, 1947, there were
1854 and on August l of this year
there were 1868 apprentices work
ing in the trowel trades. This rep
resents a gain of SO percent dur
ing the 12-months period.
The large increase is of special
significance as there has been q
shortage of craftsmen in the trowel
trades in some areas. This expan-
sion is greatly due to the good CO
operation which exists between the
unions, contractor associations
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-09-30

against "friendly" relations be-
tween boss and mill hand. Union
officials at the mill say that super
intendents and foremen had used
all sorts Of pressure on individual
workers to get them to quit the
union.
In addition, TWUA organizers
point out, the "Stoogies" have cir
culated their propaganda in the
plant without being stopped by the
Cones. This outfit, which moves in
whenever the union starts to or
ganize a Greensboro plant, is we'll
financed and circulates elaborate
anti-union propaganda including
the indictments to racial and reli-
gious prejudice that are the stock
in-trade Of anti-union employers.
TWUA officials charge that "the
Cones, an orthodox Jewish family,
have never protested or taken steps
to prohibit circulation among their
employees Of literature containing
anti-semitic smears directed at
TWUA and officials"

PAc OPPOSES DEWEY SCHEME TO
IN ATOMIC POWER

Washington (LPA)-PAC Dir
ector Jack Kroll last week lashed
out at the suggestion of Republi-
can presidential candidate Thomas
f. Dewey that the US make plans
to turn atomic energy development
over to private capitalists. "Atomic
power belongs to the American
people and the American people
alone" Kroll said.
COP aspirant Dewey had said
that once the immediate war dang

turn over to private industry the

Negotiations Fail;
Rail Workers To
Take Strike Vote

Chicago (ILNS) S).-Following col
lapse of negotiations over wages
and hours, officials Of 16 unions of
incorporating railroad workers
authorized the distribution Of q
strike ballot among the unions L.
100000 members. The talks began
Sept. 8 and ended Sept. II.
End of the talks did not affect
negotiations between 5 operating
unions and the arrangements, which
were continued.
The incorporating unions asked
the following:
A 5-day, 40-hour week with 4S
hours pay.
A wage increase of 25 cents an
hour. Pay at time and onehalf for
Saturday work. Double time pay
for Sundays and holidays.
A minimum of hours pay on
Sundays and holidays regardless OF
how few hours worked.
G. E. Leighty, president of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers and
chairman of the employees national
conference committee, said the
walkout vote was ordered because
"there was no use continuing nego-
tiations since the carriers answer
ed US a flat No to our demands
for increased pay and a 40-hour
week." He said it would take ap-
proximately 80 days to distribute
and count the ballots.
| Leighty said the average straight
time hourly wage of the men now
was $1.176 or $56.45 for a 48-hour
week.
Next Step Mediation
Under the Railway Labor Act
the next step in the dispute will be
mediation by the National Media
tion Board.
If mediation fails, the law pro-
vides that the next step may be
arbitration or reference of the dis
pute to an emergency or so-callec
fact-fnding board.
If the incorporating union mem
bers vote to call a strike in sup
port of their demands, then thC
dispute will be referred to an EN-.
ergency board provided.

Harrison Predicts
Truman Win With
Biggest Vote Ever

Washington (LPA) = President
George Harrison Of the Brother
hood Of Railway Clerks-AFL is as
deep in this election as any man
can be. He knows what's going on.
$50 Washington reporters last week
sat up and took notice when George
Harrison said: "There is a ground
swell for Truman. He'll be reelected
in November, and the Democratic
party will pick up six Senate seats
and 80 Congressional districts"
Basis of Harrison's prediction is
the enormous increase in registra-
tion particularly among the mem
bers and families of organized la
bor." The railway labor chief ex-
planned that this will result in "a
bigger vote than in any previous
| Ielection."
Harrison, who is a leader in the
AFL's LLPE, as we'll as Railway
LaboPs Political League, was re-
Gently appointed chairman of the
Labor Division of the Democratic
Natl Committee. A month ago he
organized AFL and railroad broth
erhood chiefs into Labor's Commit
tee for Truman and Barkley.
The effective work Of LLPEi
RLPL and CIO-PAC was credited
by Harrison for the sharp increase
in registration, which he is conf
dent will result in the defeat of
Republican candidate Dewey, whom
Harrison calls "the front man for
the NAM, and responsible, as lead
er of the Republican party, for the
Taft-Hartley law"
Sky-rocketing living costs, fail
ure of the 80th Congress to tackle
the housing problem, and the Taft
Hartley law, in that order, are the
issues which are swinging the vot-
ers into the Democratic column,
Harrison declared.
Over 40 AFL and railroad union
leaders had joined Labor's Com
mittee for Truman when its letter
head was printed. President Har-
vey Brown of the Int'l Association
of Machinists-unaffiliated wired
Harrison last week that he's ac-
cepting an invite. The lam con-
vention, after unanimously turning
down a resolution asking support
for Henry Wallace's Progressive
Party, enthusiastically approved
Truman. Even the local that had
sponsored the Wallace resolution
decided against sticking with the
third party.
Harrison told reporters that the
vast majority Of organized workers
are for Truman. "The job isn't con-
vincing them" he said. "Our job is
simply to get the vote into the bal
lot box"
Altho applauding the working
unity of labor political groups be
hind the Truman-Barkley cam
paign. Harrison said that he does

ing to all thoughtful citizens"
Kroll then pointed to the state
ment in a scientific magazine that
a bill has already been drafted to
turn atomic power over to big bus
mess. Republican dignitaries such
as House Speaker Joseph Martin
and Sen. John W. Bricker, Dewey's
running mate in 1914 are involved
in the move, it is reported.
"PAC believes in private profit, "
Kroll explained, "but not in profits
that are made on the peoples pro-
perty. We say Dewey might better
give his big business friends the
key to the Treasury than the key
to atomic energy"

MUST THE CONSUMER PAY?

Joe Worker is commonly pictured
as an honest, fortnight citizen
ready at all times to assume the
initiative in securing decent work
ing conditions and adequate wages
He opposes exploitation in all
forms. In short, Joe Worker is an
average American with an over
flowing abundance of initiative
energy, courage, and good inten-
tions, deficient primarily in the
subtlety that enables him to pro-
tect his own long-term interests
adequately.
Yet the modern Joe Worker must
be alert to much more than is go
ing on at the collective bargaining
table, in the picket line or on the
production line. He must realize
that in these inflationary times
every gain through the union may
be nullifed by price increases, taN
and monetary policy, and the grow
ing power of monopolies.
Effects of Tax Policy
The problem Of taxation, for ex-
ample, becomes much more than {
matter of individual opinion wher
we realize the effect one tax policy
as against another will have OF
prices, purchasing power, rea
wages, and profits.
A look at the 1910 record shows
total federal tax collections of al.
most Sc billion. Over 51.4% OF
these total collections come from
excise, customs, and employment
taxes. Excise taxes on liquor, to-
bacco, and other commodities II
1910 amounted to double the taz
revenue on individual income, about
5000 million more than the tota
tax revenue in corporate income II
that year. Well over 500 of thu
total tax collections within the
states also came from taxes on con-
sumption. 1t is clear, therefore
that the Joe Workers of our ma
ton earning below $4,000 were pay
ING most of the taxes.
Then in 1941 defense expendi
lures boosted federal appropria-
tions six billion dollars, pusheo
them up Al billion dollars in 194z
to total of 60 billion dollars, ther
skyrocketed in 1913 to $50 billion
dollars before the decline begar
which leveled off at Al billion dol
lars in 1947.
Even during the war days OF
high employment and relatively
high income, however, representa-
tives of certain groups in Congress
continued to press for financing the
war out of sales taxes. They were
silenced only when it was pointed
out in 1912 that at a national year
ly income of $3.50 billion a sales
tax at an 11f6 rate, including fooC
in its base, would raise only SIS bill
lion.
Lessons of World War III
The income tax, which totaleC
$2.6 billion in 1910, and was "A %
of the total federal tax collection
