Look for the Union Label
AFL's Union Industries Show Opens;
 Labor Management Teamwork Hailed

Milwaukee.-ThOusands of people jammed the Civic Auditorium here for the gala opening of the l948 UniOn-Industries Show sponsored by the AFL's Union Label Trades Department as the highlight of the observance of Union Label Week throughout the nation.
 The gala event was officially opened by AFL President William Green and members of the AFL Executive Coun- Gil in colorful ceremonies broadcast over the nationwide network of the Mutual Broadcasting Company.
 Visitors from all over the United States which have taxed the hospi- tality and facilities of this city milled about in the auditorium talk ing in the countless exhibits of the nations industrial firms which, in cooperation with the AFL, are dis playing a host of union-made pro- ducts.
 GIANT SPECTACLE
 The attractiveness and appeal of the giant spectacle was enhanced by row upon row of gaily decorated booths where people clustered to witness a demonstration of a product or manu- featuring process. Band music and other entertainment contributed to the carnival spirit which prevailed.
 In his opening address, MT. Green hailed the show as Ca living monument to the advantages of labor-management cooperation in our American way of life.''
 The AFL leader paid tribute to the skills and abilities of both labor and management which, when pooled, are capable of turning out the high est quality merchandise in the world.
 He said:

FIRST OF SEVERAL

These elections are first of sev- eral ''test" elections to be conduct ed in various sections of the cOun- try in order to develop a pattern which can be followed throughout the nation. The immensity of the task may be judged on the basis of the NLRB's estimates that about 100000 workers are engaged in the building and construction in- dustry.
 Since the outcome of the election is not in doubt by virtue of the fact that the construction industry has operated traditionally on closed shop basis, the cost of the elections will represent complete waste of federal funds. Reliable sources place the cost to the taxpayers at from $1,000,000 to $l ,500,0OO, tidy sum in these days of mounting government expenditures for more worthwhile purposes.
 The Pennsylvania election pro- ceeding was initiated by petition filed by five AFL construction unions and will be conducted on the complete agreement of these unions with the Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania. The unions are CD Operating Engi- neers, CD Teamsters, (3) Carpen- ters, (4) Pile Drivers. and (5) LabOrers.
 The elections will be conducted on the sites of the various construction jobs. Approximately 98 jobs. involv- ing as many contractors, will be voted in the course of the day by 50 agents of the NLRB.
 LABORATORY
 MT. Denham stated: We hope to conduct two or more pilot elections in the very near future, as something in the nature of laboratory tests for the perfection of techniqueS. When they have been proved, we can pro- ceed to apply them to the national pattern On the basis of these lab oratory tests we can then go forward with the formulation of our plans of conducting union-shop polls in vari- ouS areas of the United States. In effect, the conduct of such elections in recognizable areas will become practically the same as holding a na- tional election on a piecemeal basis.

Mrs. Elizabeth Marland was re- elected business manager of Local 4O4, Hotel X Restaurant Employees Union, New Haven, by an over- whelming vote. The union made a fine choice. Congrats to the union.
 ANOTHER housing shortage con- tribution, this one from the SpO- Kane (Wash.) Spokesman ReUie,0:
 Two young working ladies

 This, incidentally, was ''Too
 Late to Classify"
 Employment by construction contractors rose by l63.OOO work CTS during April to 1,79O.OOO, the highest level for any April since l942, the Bureau of Labor Statis- tics, U. 5. Department of Labor an- nounces. Compared with April l947, employment in the industry was higher by l7l,OOO (ll per- cenD. Privately financed new con- struction claimed four out of every five workers employed by cOntrac- tors in April, and about two work CTS in five were employed on new nonfarm housing.
 The recent US. Supreme Court decision declaring illegal the ce- ment industry's multiple passing point price-setting system may not hamper monopoly too much in set- ting non-cOmpetitive prices.
 That is the view of the New Coun- cil of American Business, anti monopoly business group.
 NCAB said the high court has given the cement kings and other industries with similar pricing prac- tices some headaches. ''They will have to search for ... new pric- ing and perhaps distribution sys- tem," it said. Potentially, the change can cause disIocatiOns; it can also lead to new monopolies in particular geographic areas or new mOnOpolistic devices nationally to circumvent the latest restrictions"
 The Outlawed system. which the supreme court held to violate both the Clayton antitrust act and the Federal Trade Commission act. re- suited in all companies quoting the same price to the fraction of penny for cement delivered to one city. Each firm would charge the same for transportation. no matter what the distance involved.
 A can of Coop beans smashed against the front steps opened the Motor City Coop in Detroit. Coop prices were 8 per cent below chain competition. Some 800 shoppers bought $3,2OO of goods opening day. Motor City, like Pontiac, has warehOuse-type distribution plan. selling a little over POO selected items only. With current member ship of l4OO, additional store to serve each group of 1000 families planned.
 While Auto Workers contributed money and personnel to organiza- tional drive, control is held by mem- bership, open to entire community. A Rural-Urban Cooperative Assn has been organized to handle dis tributiOn of farm produce between Michigan farms and the coop.

 Is Denham Doubtful?

WashingtOn.-The National Labor Relations Board has begun the vast and useless job of holding union shop author izatiOn elections among work. CTS in the construction indus try.
 Robert N. Denham, general counsel for the NLRB,- acting under the requirement of the Taft-Hartley law which makes such elections mandatory before a union shop contract can be ex- ecuted legally, announced plans for 2 "pilot elections" among 5 classifcations of employees work ing in the heavy construction in dustry in B counties of western Pennsylvania.

NY. Plumbers Sign TwO-Year StabilizatiOn

NEW YORK-(FP)-A 2-year pact with contractors to stabilize wages, hours and working conditions was signed here by Local 2, United Assn. of Plumbers & Steam Filters.
 Running to June 30, 1850, the agree ment grants a 14-2/7S hourly wage boost, retroactive to May 1. This raises the hourly rate to $3 and day rate to $21 for seven hours work The new scale eliminates compulsory over time.
 The union agreed to unrestricted use of power-driven machines for cutting and threading pipe on the job as part of the contract. Plumbing industry SpokeSmen hailed it as taking the in dustry out of the ''horse and buggy era. Local 2 Pres. William Dodd said this provision was accepted on the grounds that it would raise employ meft and cut costs.
 CINCINNATI = Plumbers and steamhtters won 2215e hourly wage boost here, bringing the new hourly scale to $2.35.
 Negotiated by the Cincinnati Plumb CTS Dist. Council, the Swear contract provides for reopening in May of each year for wage adjustments in accord with rising living costs.

CAMP LBJUNE, N. c., Sept. s.
Qualified approval of the two-week
training period ending here today
was expressed by John Politana, 10,
of 1910 G street NV, of the Fifth
Marine Reserves.
AS he packed his duffel bag for
the train trip to Washington to-
night, he said he had found the
dventure and excitement"
promised by Marine recruiting post
ers. But as for the "two-week va
cation" part of it, John isn't so
sure.
With several of his buddies from
Company A of the 5th Marines, he
characterized the life in this camp
of nearly 200 square miles as "ad-
venture"
Excitement in Maneuvers.
And as for the excitement, he
said, the group has explored the
wild areas here, tramped through
the marshes and jungle-like growth
and fired weapons new to them.
The men also have handled TINT
and observed devastating tank fire.
They had practice in amphibious
warfare, when they participated in
dry run" landing operation from
. the side of huge mock ship built
here.
Clambering down cargo nets,
the ttle-equipped Marines
jumped into jacked-up landing
crafts at the bottom.
Even though this was no vaca-
ton. it wasn't bad" said John, as
Sergts William Cook, $50 Lebaum
street Sc, and Robert Tibbetts,
1893 Blaine street NE, strolled up
to the group. We've had lots of
good food"
IF you have any gripes, tell the
reporter" said Sergt. Cook. Moth
ing will happen to you"
John said he really had no COM
plants.

Shades of Huey Long

The job which the Louisiana Democrats
have done on the Truman-Barkley ticket
has all the earmarks of political larceny.
That may or may not be an offense under
the election laws. The Democratic Party
bosses in Washington say that 1t Is and
they are threatening to take legal action,
although they are vague as to the form OF
their appeal to the courts But the lay
man, unversed in the intricacies OF the
laws governing our elections, will have
little doubt that an exceedingly raw deal
has been pulled.
What has happened is that handful
of politicians constituting the Louisiana
State Central Committee have voted to put
the States Rights ticket headed by Gov
ernor Thurmond on the ballot under the
official Democratic designation. The effect
is to oust the Truman -Barkley ticket from
the ballot, with the result that Truman
supporters desiring to vote for him in
Louisiana will have to write in his name
and the full slate of his electors. Not many
people will take the trouble or will know
enough to do this, so it looks as though the
President has lost Louisiana unless some
thing comes of the threatened court action.
The chances are that the loss of Louisi-
ana will not have any important effect on
the outcome of the national election. And
1t may be that this kind Of shyster politics
Is not unpalatable to the bulk of LouiSi-
ana's voters. But the recrudescence of the
tactics OF the late Huey Long. whose politi-
cal heirs have regained control In the
Pelican State, fully merits the condemna-
tion with which it has been received
throupholIt the country
