.CIO Seeks
To Defend
New Wages

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26
ILPA)-In the same state
ment in which it announced
that CIO unions this spring
would fight for another round
of wage increases for its mem
bers, the CIO Executive Boarc
last week voted to press for ar
anti-inflation program which car
protect the new level of wages
from another onslaught brought
on by even further unjustifiec
price increases"
What has been happening
since the end of the war, the
CIO board reported, has been the
undermining of the living stand
ards of u. S. workers, less in
come going into channels for
spending on consumption items
and more into "the savings and
investment of relatively few in
dividuals and corporations"
This concentration in income
and wealth." the Board stated,
"has resulted in large, dangerous
concentration of power and in
fluence. These trends can and
must be reversed"
"The present.day exorbitant
profit levels of American indus
try" the statement continued,
"are sufficiently high to permit
the payment of substantial wage
increases without further in
creases in prices. No factor is
clearer today than that wages
have not been solely responsible
for rising prices. Prices would
have increased anyway.
Therefore, in order to in.
sure that increased wages are
not drained off through higher
prices, as has been the vicious
practice of most industries in the
past. a coordinated and effective
anti-inflation program through
price, rationing, ALLEGATION, inven-
tory, consumer and bank credit
controls, an excess profits tax
and elimination of margins on the
grain exchanges to stop specula-
ton must be enacted by Con-
gress."
CIO internationals, which have
traditionally followed the pat.
terms established by their largest
affiliates steel, auto and elec.
trical - are now formulating
wage demands. The Auto Work
ers have voted to demand SOC an
hour, part in across-the-board
wage gains, the rest in a retire
ment fund and a health insur-
ance plan.

Court Rules
For Veteran

WAS HIN G. TON (LPA)-
Meyer Bernstein, CIO veterans
representative, has called atten-
ton of all CIO affiliates to a
ruling of the Federal District
Court in northern Indiana which
ruled that veteran who re-
ceived a promotion on the basis
of time in service is entitled to
back date his promotion to the
time that it would have come
into effect had he not been in
uniform.
The case arose out of the suit
filed by Gilmer S. Morris, who
had been railroad telegrapher,
and a member of the Telegraph
ers Union-AFL before entering
the service. While Morris was in
service three of his juniors in the
South Bend division of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
were promoted to dispatcher.
Upon return to civilian life
Morris passed the qualifying
exam for dispatcher and was
promoted, but was listed below
the men over whom he had had
seniority as a telegrapher. He
asked the court to restore to him
the seniority he would have
earned on the new job if he
hadn't been called up.
The court agreed that he was
entitled to it. In his ruling Judge
Swygert, held that Morris had
been entitled to seniority over
the other three telegrapherS by
the terms of the railroads con-
tract with the Telegraphers I'm
ion. This seniority would have
been lost by his military service
had not the Selective Service
Act specifically protected it.
In view, however, of the pro-
vision of the Act which requires
that veterans be rehired without
loss of seniority, Swygert ruled,
it takes precedence over the
terms of the railroads contract
with the Train Dispatchers I'm
ion-AFL which state that senior
ity shall date from the time of
passing the qualifying examina-
ton.

Harry Bridges and Hugh Bryson

conference almost simultaneous
with the announcement of the
Boards action. They made it
clear that they would not go

icy. Bridges asserted that the
CIO action was a '1eft-handed
endorsement of Truman" and
said he couldn't get his members
to vote for either Truman or
Taft or Dewey or "any of those

Board Outlines Policy
Here are the five points en-
phasized in the Boards resolu-
tion:
I--At this time the CIO is in
no way committed to any presi-
Dental aspirant.
2-We should not support a
third party movement in 1948.
3-We should do everything
possible to put our domestic and
international programs into eff
feet.
Ave. should use our full
strength, undivided, in an effort
to elect a progressive Congress
that will support our programs.
5-We should urge our mem
bers and their friends to greatly
increase their political activities
this year and lend support to the
progressive policy of the CIO-
PAC.
6-By a unified fight for a
progressive program, and by the
maximum registration and vote,
the CIO believes that the great
est good can be achieved in l948
for world peace, security and
progress OF the people"
Announcement of the vote is
unprecedented in CLOS history;
and seasoned labor reporters
who kept the vigil outside the
carefully barred doors of the
CLOS Board meeting room
agreed that the debate-much of
which was audible - was more
vigorous and carried on by more
boaro members than on any pre-
Vious occasion.

the Italians pronounce Caa-pri with

like a prize gem under the Mediter-

aquamarine. Known for its Blue
Grotto, its San Michele, for its un-
usual rock, Faraglioni, for the ruins
of the homes of Augustus and
Tiberius-without all these things
it would still draw celebrities from
all over the world for one glimpse
of its incredible loveliness. Deep
hued bougainvillea pours abundant
ly over white walls that line the
cream-colored cobblestone streets,
while over head oleander trees form
an archway of pink blossoms and
fill the air with their perfume.
Growing up its steep, green-covered
sides are every kind OF foliage from
cactus to palm and pine. I was
expecting perfection, but 1t took my
