NLRB Extends
Jurisdiction

WASHINGTON IPA)-Two
NLRB trial examiners last week
pushed the jurisdiction of the
Taft-Hartley law about as far
as it will q. One of them held
that a non-union electrical con-
tractor in Denver is protected
by the Both Congress pet law
simply because his supplies, tho
not his own work, are in inter-
state commerce. Another ruled
that AFL teamsters mustn't let
railroad workers into their dis
putes if there is wifi of boy
colt in the air - despite the fact
that rail workers aren't under
Taft Hartley.

Actors Gain
SIS Increase
Wage Grant Up
From $50 To SIS

New York (LPA)-Altho both
parties were coy about reveal
ing exact terms of their con-
tract, it appeared last week that
Actors Equity Ass'n-AFL had
won a real victory in its nego-
tiations with the League of New
York Theaters. A pay increase
of SIS a week for actors and
musical show performers high
lights the agreement.
SIS A Week More
Base salaries for actors while
working in the metropolis will
rise from $50 to SIS a week.
When a show is on the road the
base pay will be $50. During re-
hearsals performers will get $40
under the new contract.
Arbitration of disputes will
be handled thru an impartial
panel, it is reported. Producers
were dissatisfied with Equity's S
stand for continuance of an ac-
tor councils jurisdiction over
grievance cases. Artists working
in a show retain, however, the
right to first consider the COM
plants sof their colleagues.
Minimum Wage
Stage managers are guaran-
teed a minimum wage too-$175
in New York, and 5000 on the
road. For handling the chorus
girls in musical the rates are
S25 higher. The girls are as
sured the same base pay as
actors.
A number of contract details
still have to be worked out. But
both sides seem to be satisfied
with its basic provisions.

fool you with your little cut in

other tax they and union organi-

for years, as they say it is a

you never hear anything from
the unions in regard to Payroll
Tax, which is another occupa-

state and the cities want their

der the overall policy that criticism
of the occupation is not permitted.
Gen. Macarthur has issued a
blunt verbal order against any po-
itical activity at headquarters.
His attitude was reflected in the
public information Office statement
Wednesday. This said the cam
paign was Gen. MacArthur's per-
sonal matter and would not inter-
fere with operations OF his military
headquarters solely concerned with
the conduct of the occupation of
Japan"
But news of the reaction In the
United States to Gen. MacArthur's
announcement he would serve If
called by the American people con-
tinues to pour into Japan. Some of
it Is favorable and some Is critical.
Staff officers in charge of the
Army newspaper Stars and Stripes
and the armed forces radio network
in Japan say their job is to cover
the campaign while retaining the
neutrality ordered by Gen. Mac
Arthur. There are thousands of
absentee voters here in military and
civilian service.
The staff officers are responsible
for the policies of Stars and Stripes
and the armed forces radio net
work.
United States soldiers and civil
ians depend primarily on both these
sources for world news.
Both the newspaper and the net
work were under orders to use only
actual, factual news stories" about
the presidential campaign. This is
not clearly defined, but it would
eliminate such reaction stories as
editorial comment, both favorable
and unfavorable.
I'VE want to avoid any idea we
are trying to run the campaign from
here" said one officer. If we run
any editorial comment we will be
accused OF prejudice either one way
or another. And we don't have
newspaper space or radio time to
run all this kind of news"
