Vets Allowance
To Be Roised

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA -
(LPA) - Chat Paterson, chair.
man of the labor.supported
American Veterans Committee,
has been assured by Speaker of
the House Joseph Martin (R.,
Mass.) that subsistence allow.
anceS for married veterans going
to school under the CT Bill will
be upped by SIS, and $40 will
be added to the monthly income
OF single student-vets.
An AVG survey shows that the
most rigorous budgeting can't
get a married student by for
less than $3.50 month, or a
single man for less than $105.
AVG members visited their Con.
gressmen during the Christmas
holidays and got promises of a
floor fight to amend the Repub.
lican bill to provide the flat $35
a month increase which the or.
ganization's study says is needed.
The AVG spokesman also pre-.
djcted that the House would ap.
prove increased ceilings for on
the-job trainees and $1,000 auto
for amputees and
blind veterans. The bills could
have been passed last session
PateI son said, had it not been
for the obstinacy of the House
Rules Committee.

Strikes Lowered
Says I947 Report

WASHINGTON, Jan IA -
There were only $500 work
stoppages due to labor-manage-
ment disputes in 1947, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ports. This is about one-thiri
fewer than 1946's nearly 5000.
Number of workers affected de-
clined even more sharply-from
4,600,000 to 100000.
Nor were 1947's strikes as
long as those of 1916. Last year
only 35,000,O0O man-days were
lost from work as contrasted
with 100000 the previous
year. Heaviest losses were in
the months of April and May,
which saw the long telephone
workers strike, a small, but
lengthier shipyard strike and
the brief bituminous coal stop
page which brought out a large
number of miners. Between
them these three strikes ac-
counted for nearly half of the
time lost. Only II other stop
pages involved as many as 10,-
900 workers.

 It was the worst beating ever inflicted on a West team-and that goes back to the start of the an- nual spectacle in 1925.

 Lujack, handling the slippery kall with nary a tumble or wild throw, lashed out with deadly accurate pass from the Vests IT to Bill Swiacki, gluey-fingered Columbia end. Veteran Yablonski Of Columbia muffed the try for point, although he kicked four good ones during the day.
