for 15-cent pay boost

More than 200 shoe workers,
members of the United Shoe
Workers Union (CIO), Joint
Council No. Is, were on strike
this week against the Shoe Man
ufacturers Assn. of Chicago.
The union is demanding a Is
cent hourly wage increase and a
raise in the minimum rate to

of a 10-cent an hour cut in wages
plus lowering of the minimum
hourly rate, which is presently
20 to 80 cents.
WITH shoe prices at, record
high levels, the manufacturers
of the eight struck firms claim
that they are losing money, and
that workers will have to take
a wage cut SO that their firms
may be able to operate at a
profit.

BY STAN MACK

Steel workers in the Chicago
area tempered their jubilation
over the 13-cent average wage
boost this week with the opinion
that ''U. S. Steel got the best of
that deal"
Some even speculated over
how much of their increased
take-home would go directly
back into the Steel Trust till as
result of the inflationary $10-a-
ton increase in steel prices.
1t is estimated that the in
crease in U. S. Steel profits will
make up the cost of the wage
boost more than three times over.
AT THE same time, workers
were pleased over the increase
which many had given up for lost
when the leaders of CLIO United
Steelworkers Union showed no
signs of putting up a wage fight
at the traditional re-negotiation
period of April 80.
The increases are not retro
active to April 80. And the new
contract Gals for wage-reopening
not on April 80. 1s4s. but on
July is. In this way U. S. Steel
chiseled the workers out of six
months of the wage increase.
However, rank and-file leaders
in the Calumet area feel that it
was the fight put up by militants

FOLLOWING are some of the
provisions of the new contract:
. 1t covers 10000 workers in
80 job classifications and pro-
vides increases ranging from
91a to IS cents.
. The majority of workers will
get less than IL cents.
. The present contract is ex-
tended to April 80, 1850.
. The no-strike clause has been
amended to permit strike ac-
ton on wages and social secur-
ity when the contract is re-
opened for these two purposes
in July, 1949.
. Another change modifies the
union security clause, which
Murray explained this way:
"The maintenance of men,
bership now granted in the
present contract is preserved
to the union until the termina-
ton of the present contract in
April, 1949, and its continue
ance thereafter will depend on
the status of the (Taft-Hartley)
law as it then exists covering

anticipated that by April, 1919,
there will be a final court de-
cision on this aspect of the
