ON THE LAST day of the con-
vention when it became appar-
ent that the right-wing had been
defeated straight down the line,
the Weightman caucus tried a
desperate last moment attempt
to disrupt the convention. This
came in the form of a speech by
Tilford Dudley, lawyer, vice
chairman of the CIO-PAC, and
personal representative of CLIO
president Philip Murray.

will derive no comfort from the
fact that the union will again be
led by Ralph Helstein, as presi-
dent. On balloting for this and
other offices at the unions 9Th
constitutional convention which
ended June 80, a smashing defeat
was administered the right wing.
Shortly after the convention
opened, delegates undertook dis
cussion of the recent strike in
closed session. Right-wing lead
ers utilized this discussion for an
attack on the unions leadership.
This took the form of absolv-
ing the ALL Amalgamated Meat
Cutters of all blame for selling
out the strike by accepting the
innocent increase offered by the
packers. Instead, right-wingers
attacked Helstein and other Of
ficers for mistaken" strike poll
cies.
This week. disgruntled right
wingers set up a permanent
factional group called the "CIO
Policy Caucus" headed by the
Philip Weightman. who was de-
feated by the delegates in his eff
fort TO win reelection as vice
president.
WEIGHTMAN attempted to
blitz the convention with a
motion that all officers. resign.
This would have been tacit ac-
acknowledgement of mistaken poll
cies, and would have left the way
wide open for possible election
as president of Svend Godfred-
sen, editor of the union paper,
another member of the Weight
man caucus.
But the Weightman motion
never came to a vote. Instead, all
officers elected are pledged to
Helstein policies. These include:
Lewis J. Clark, secretary-treas-
urer, who succeeds himself; Fred
w. Bowling, Canadian district di-
rector who also succeeds himself
as ice-president, and Frank FL
lis, also reelected as vice-presi-
dent.
In the balloting for the third
vice-presidency, Weightman him
self was defeated by Russell Las
ley. Lasley is a member of the
Rath Packing Co. local, and a
militant leader of the Negro
community in Waterloo, Ia.
FOUR of the unions district
directors are also pledged to fol-
low Helstein policies on the in
ternational ecutive board.
Their election gives Helstein nine
of the boards IA votes.
These directors include Harold
Nielsen, from the Cudahy local in
Milwaukee. Nielsen succeeded
Arthur Kampfert, a member of
the Weightman caucus, who
stepped in as acting director of
District l when Herbert March
resigned that post in disagree
ment with the unions compli-
ance with the Taft-Hartley Act.
Other Helstein supporters on
the executive include A. T.
Stephens, reelected as District
3 director, and Bowling. Also
Meyer Stern, who resigned as
director of the eastern district
at the same time and for the
same cause as March, and was re-
turned to that post on agreeing to
sign the Taft-Hartley affidavits.
He succeeded Lenuel Ward, who

Business Section Was Decorated Last Time

Yuletide Shopping Grows In Volume

For the first time in six years
five blocks of Laurel's business
section glow with Christmas lights
and evergreen trees. The install
lation was completed this week,
reminding local people and visi-
tors of the nea approach of the
Yuletide season and that shopping
days ire diminishing rapidly.
Nature has cooperated with the
decorating scheme by giving the
landscape a heavy coat of fleecy
white snow.
The colored lights and trees
at the intersection of Third
avenue with West Main street
and continue east to Montana
avenue. The first block of First
avenue is also decorated.
There are 300 light globes, red
and green, and 10 evergreens in
sand-filled tubs in each of the
five blocks. Another % lights
are used in a loop arching the
First avenue intersection with
Main street.
The last time the lights and
were seen was the Christ
mas season of 1871. The Pearl
Iarbor attack was Sunday, Dec.
7, of that year. The lights were
in place when the Japs
truck the blow that plunged the
United States into a two-hemis-
here war with people who claim
d they were superior races and
which ended some bloody years
ater after the worlds first
tonic bombs were exploded.
When Christmas was over in

oiled up and stored. No n was
lterested in bringing it out, and
here was no manpower or sur

INFORMATION GIVEN
ON INCOME RETURNS

Everyone, adult or minor, re-
CARELESS of age, who had 5000 or
more income in 1913, must file
a federal income tax on form
1040 or form 1040-A.
Final returns for the calendar
year must be filed not later than
March Is, 1949, but may be filed
any time after the end of the
year, Dec. 81, 1913.
Jan. Is, 1949, is also an i'm
portant date for many taxpayers.
1t does not concern most wage
earners whose tax is withheld,
but all others who are required
by law to file a declaration of
estimated tax must pay the final
installment of the 1913 estimated
tax by Jan. Is, 1949. This date
is especially important to farmers
or those who receive at least
two-thirds of their income from
farming operations. While other
business and professional men are
required to file a declaration of
estimated tax by March Is of the
current year, and to pay their es-
timated tax in quarterly install
ments, farmers may postpone fill
ing a declaration of estimated tax
until not later than Jan. Is, 1949.
However, they must then pay the
total amount of their estimated
tax.
Two birds may be killed with
n stone if the final return on
form 1040 is filed and the balance
of tax shown to be due is paid
on or before Jan. Is, 1949. A
