UPWA signs
new contract
at Swift & Co.

The Unite d clearinghouse
Workers (CIO) has negotiated a
new 1-year master contract with
Swift & Co., one of the nations
four major packers.
Although the pact, effective
Aug. II, provides for no pay
raise, it permits one wage re-
opening on 80 days notice by
either party.
Another feature is an auto
matte, irrevocable checkoff of
union dues. UPW Pres. Ralph
Helstein said the new contract is
better than the present one,
which expires Aug. IL.
Contract meetings are sched-
uled with Armour & Co. but no
talks have been arranged with
Wilson & Co.. Helstein said.
A long and at times bloody
strike against the Big Four pack
ers was settled by the union in
May for &c hourly wage in
crease.

|Chuo. Screw workers
win 11-cent wage increase

Strike sentiment among work.
ers at Chicago Screw Co., this
week forced management to
grant pay raises which were ac-
ceptable to the union-Local SO,
United Auto Workers (CIO).
Increases won by the union
will add ll-cents TO the hourly
day rate and s.s-cents per hour
TO the basic machine rate.
Settlement took place only
after the workers, through their
union, had rejected two previous
company offers.
THE cOMPANY'S first offer,
following opening of wage nego-
tiations, was for hourly increases
of five cents for day rate, four
cents for machine rate.
It was then that the union
conducted a strike vote. Over
95eo of the s44 workers who
voted demanded a strike to en-
force their demand for a l5-cenf
hourly increase.
Sobered by the overwhelming
strike vote, Chicago Screw boost
ed its offer to 10-cents and s.
cents.
THIS OFFER was likewise re-
jected, and a conference was ar
ranged with w. D. Corlett, Presi-
dent, Standard Screw Co., of
which Chicago Screw is an affili-
ate.
Cor1eft made what he termed
a final offer"-1l cents and 8.8-
cents. Ironically. he said that the
company really couldn't afford
the increase-but. in anticipation
of increased orders resulting from
the Marshall Plan. he was will
ing TO take chance.

proposed rejection, strongly urg-
ing that strike action be taken
to win the Unions full demand
of 15-cents per hour.
Internat1. Rep. Harvey Pierson
then helped to turn the hide of
strike sentiment to that of ac-
ceptance. by pointing TO the diff
ficulties and hardships involved
in strike action and recommend
ing consideration of the offer in
the light of recent wage settle
ments in other plants.
The vote to accept was finally
agreed to by a large majority.

cd should serve: Cut into the
crack with a cold chisel to make
It deeper lat least one inch) and
wider, so that a patch can be
forced all the way through. Brush
out all loose bits of cement and
sand. Soak the edges with water
and then pack the crack with a
stiff mixture Of one part portland
cement and three parts of clean,
sharp sand, using only enough
water to make a workable mix

hood, he, the younger of twins, he
had even told her about Peter. He
wasn't afraid of Peter then, with
two thousand miles between them.
They'd probably be married before
Peter would meet her.
Paul was afraid of Peter now.
Breezy, garrulous Peter. Back
home, Paul had always been re-
ferred to as the quiet one, when
the twins were the subject of con-
versation.
The trouble with himself, Paul
thought, was that he had always
given up too easily to Peter, from
childhood up. Peter always did get
the best toys, the best bike. the
best clothes, the best of everything.
Ann was something Paul wanted
more than anything else in his life.
She represented the best of every
thing to him. Determination filled
his lean, square-jawed face. He
WAS the quiet one, up until to-
night. Long live the new Paul!
1t would not be easy, Paul re-
minded himself. Peter had years of
experience along these lines. He
regarded life about him with hard
ened Indifference, and when Paul
sought to reason with him, Peters
face would turn quite blank, his
eyes evasive. He never argued,
never changed. He'd find love, Gull
tivate it to crop, taste of it, and
leave it.
Now, with the thought of losing
Ann racing through his nervous
system, Paul vowed his scruples
were to undergo change.
Earlier in the evening Peter was
in Paul's apartment talking on the
phone. "Peter!" Paul said. what
are you doing in New York :?

with your teeth? Well, one of our
Hi-Style scouts reports that she is
now opening her bobby pins on a
wire which she nailed faulty from
one side of a wooden box to the
other. She keeps her bobby pins in
the box and opens them on the wire
as she lifts them out. She says it's
much easier to get a new piece of
wire than it is to get new set of
teeth. She has something there!
ALL OVER THE MAP-Because
so many of you collect pen pals just
as you collect photos of Robert
Mitchum and telephone calls-you'll
be interested in an entirely new
system of keeping your correspond
ence in order. Pin up large map of
the United States and stick pins in
each city where you have a pen pal.
Red topped pins means that your
pen pal owes you letter; black
means vice-versa. It's a good re-
minder and it looks so official!
LIVELY DECORATIONS-Do you
want a really different table CENTER
piece for your next party? Well, fill
a bowl with quart of water, drop
in one teaspoon full of citric acid
and one teaspoon full of baking soda.
Now-drop in 10 moth balls and,
within a few moments, the balls will
start jumping up and down and will
continue to perform for about an
hour. When they show signs of tir-
ing, just revive them with another
dose of the acid. Let us know how
it works.
ANKLE TURNS-A trick for your
old ballet slippers is to sew ribbon
loops at the backs to hold any rib
bons or bracelets you might wear
as anklets. For evening, try rhine
stone or gold ribbons. We've already
warned you that the ankle strap shoe
is the smartest thing on two feet for
summer, haven't we?
BEAUTY AND THE BIB-You
wind the chains round and round
your necks to fall in bib effect
over your sweater ard blouses. II
you're wearing a dickey, Just wear
the Peter Pan collar over the chain.

WHAT puzzled Paul most was
w what made girls vulnerable
and moon-eyed whenever his twin
brother, Peter, was about. There
was no denying it, girls usually
fell for Peters line. He was smooth.
Paul had seen it happen too many
times. Fear gripped his heart as
he thought it was about to happen
again-tonight-this time to too
nice a girl"
Pensively, Paul tugged at the
chair under him and moved closer
to the table in the Ell Zebra club.
He passed his hand fondly and
carressingly over the beaver jacket
on the chair beside him. This was

How did you get in the apartment"
Quiet, young un," Peter had
said. He placed his hand over the
mouthpiece of the phone. Cant
you see I'm busy?"
Sorry"
"Say. who's ANN" Peter whis-
pered.
"ANN!" Paul had almost shouted.
"Give me that phone. Quick. Be-
fore you wreck my ife!"

In the apartment Paul wasn't so
sure he was doing the right thing
taking Peter out on this date, he
felt uneasy-remembering Peters
technique. He had executed
feeler: "How about making it stag
tonight"
Nothing doing" Peter had said.
Besides, you've already made tie
date"
True, the date was made and
Ann did want to meet Peter. Would
she be less susceptible to Peters
soft impeachment?
Thank goodness this was the last
dance. Paul feared the worst. He
tried to put the fear from his mind.
They were coming back to the table
now, both of them laughing, hand
finland. Paul tried to tell himself
he was being foolish and torturing
the depths of his heart with pain
that never really should be there.
The obsession stayed with him as
they reached the street and there
took on more agitation. Peter said:
well, I'll leave you two alone now.
The night is still young for me. See
you later in the apartment, Paul.
Good night, Ann"
Good night, Peter" Ann said.
Call me before you 60 away"
Is THIS 1T? Paul wondered. Is
this the beginning to another brok-
en- heart? They watched Peter vanish
down the dim lit street. He turned
at the next corner and waved. In
the next instant he was gone and
with him a still, hushed silence
came over the empty street. The
laughter, the gayety, the radiance
left AIMS face.
Paul prepared himself bravely
for what was to come.
Ann was talking: Peter is fun"
Fun? Was that how lasting love
was defined? Had fun taken the
place of love built on solid, deep
rooted admiration? The love, the
deepest affection that normally
leads to marriage? Peter was not
ready for that. Someone was bound
to be hurt, cruelty; he'd not allow
it to happen to Ann. He turned to
her, words of protest rushing to his
lips-then suddenly heard her say:

best, Paul"

Ann had said: You don't mind, do
you, Paul." OF course he did! But
he couldn't let Ann know, just then.
'This is some brother you have"
She smiled into Peters face as they
glided away.
Some brother, is right! Paul
thought. Probably laying it on
again. Ann seemed to enjoy it.
Paul didn't! Ann was his girl!
Ann fitted into Paul's plans for
that part of life he desired. A

He resolved, after tonight, to ape
