By NFLU Pickets

Bakersfield, Cal. UPA)- The

the Italian Swiss Colony winery at
Clovis, Cal. last week when the

American Wage Farmers To Fight
Hiqh Taxes On Low Priced Foods

New York City.-A campaign
among American wage earners
against high living costs and pro-
hibitive taxation on low-priced
food products was announced by
Dr. Alexander S. Lipsett, labor
publicist and a specialist on post
war economics and relief problems.
Formerly executive director of the
Labor Chest of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, DR.. Lipsett is
head of the Public and Labor Rela-
Mons Bureau and the International
Labor News Service New York Of
flee.
Singing out anti-margarine
taxes as "the worst type of dis
elimination against medium and
low income groups" DR.. Lipsett
said: "The time has come to re-
move these barnacles and put our
food economy on an even keel. So
far, the dairy interests have been
able to protect their privileged po-
sitions. Now with food prices so
high as to threaten the very basis
of American home life, the last
shreds of protectionism must go.
Congress ought to recognize the
facts"
The American trade union move

ment has repeatedly condemned
these discriminatory practices, DR..
Lipsett said, pointing to recent
statements by AFL, CIO and in
dependent labor leaders. However,
all important is action by the mem
bers themselves and their fami-
lies. This is of vital concern to
their stomachs and pocketbooks.
1t affects consumers, workers and
small business people alike. 1t is
an issue no amount of high-pow-
cred dairy propaganda can sup
press, an issue which cannot be ap-
peased with halfway measures.
All restrictions that keep the peo-
ple's food bill artificially high must
CO."
Campaign spokesmen said that
organized labor supported repeal
bill now pending in Congress, but
warned against attempts to pigeon
hole it, "as the dairy lobby and their
friends hope and work for" Labor
editors and local union officials are
expected to take a leading part in
the campaign.

.NLRB Won't Question
On-COmmunist Filing

Washington (LPA)-The NLRB
explained last week that it is not
required to study the non-Commu-
mist affidavits filed by unions
seeking board certification.
1t denied motion Of a Lynch
burg, Va, shoe firm that the Board
examine the case of the United
Shoe Workers which deprived its
executive board members of the
officer status and then had its two
remaining officers file Communist
disclaimers.
Agreeing with the company that
this action might have been de-
signed to circumvent the law, the
NLRB said, nonetheless, that the
Taft Hartley Act does not obli-
gate it to look beyond the fact that
the statutory requirements have
been met.
Last week the Board released
figures showing that 4,307 local
unions and 41,348 local officers
have signed the Communist dis
Chalmers, as against 1,497 locals
and 25,365 officers at the end of
January.

Security d
Outside Workers

Washington (LPA)- Rep. Her
man Eberharter d., Pa has char
acterized bill passed by the House
last week as "a joint resolution to
exempt from the payment of social
security taxes a certain favored
group of employers"
The measure, passed by vote of
274 to SO, would wipe out a Su-
preme Court ruling which says the
term "employe" covers ''outside
workers"-those who are statesmen
and others working on a commits
sion basis or under contract.
Following the Supreme Court rul-
ing, the Treasury Dept has ruled
that such workers should be en-
titled to protection of the Social
Security Act-including old age
pensions and jobless benefits-and
the employers should have been
paying taxes to cover these bene-
fits.
Between 100000 and 100000 en-
ployes are involved in the dispute,

workers, insurance company en-

commented on the "almost phenom-

the critical shortage of skilled
workers in many of the trades and
industries.
Complete abolition of the Bureau
of Veterans Unemployment Rights
is proposed by the Appropriations

Adds New Members
As Plant 3 HUNS

Cambridge, Ohio-The results Of
President Duffy's visit to our Lo-
cal are becoming more evident
every day. Many problems
throughout the shop are settled
while others are pending further
investigation.
President James Coffey has ap-
pointed a resolution committee and
this group is now ready to receive
resolutions for this years con-
vention. Members are urged to
hand in their proposals as soon as
possible in order that the commit
tee may draw them up in the prop
er manner to be presented before
the Local not later than April 1st.
1t is important that you keep the
dead line in mind in order that all
resolutions may be forwarded to
headquarters not later than May
/ to insure publication in the print
ed program.
Albert Van Camp and Violet
Green head the social committee.
There is no doubt but through this
leadership we can look forward to
many enjoyable affairs. Following
our last meeting we enjoyed dane
ing to juke box music, but bigger
and better things are in store for
US according to the committee.
Local 122 continues to add new
names to the roll as new members
and withdrawal cards are accepted.
This is the result from added en-
ployment in plant where things
are beginning to hum toward full
production.
Labor leaders are urging us to
check our registration with cleo
tion officials that we may cast our
vote in this vital election year The
aim is to amass vote that will de-
feat enemies of labor and install
those who are friendly to our
cause. Let's fight with our only
weapons-a small cash contribu-
tion and a wise vote.
The latest bit of humor around
the shop is that Bob Bowman is
now the new tall story champ. He
told one about plowing all day with
a saddle horse without bride or
reins. He received the prize of a
pocket knife from Frank McCulley,
the former holder.

of this years outing. Although it
is little early to predict how many
potters from Cambridge will attend
the annual outing, you can bet your
last bottom dollar that Local Union
122 will be well represented. Who
knows, perhaps the large delegation
might be on hand to root for a
ball team from here. How about it

Local 124 Pleased
With Appointment
OF Rose Stewart

The members of Local Union
124 were very glad to read where
Sister Rose Stewart, decal girl,
has been named member of the
Decorators Standing Committee.
This is a very important assign
ment and one in which we feel
Sister Stewart has all the qualifi-
cations for rendering valuable SER
vice to the trade. Our best wishes
in her new duties.
Third vice President James Sla-
ven made a report of conditions at
plant No. s of the Homer Laugh
lin China Company, regarding the
gas fumes. We have had numerous
complaints from the No. shop
about gas fumes and for a while
the issue threatened to become
a serious matter. We were inform
ed every effort is being put forth
to correct the situation and we hope
recent changes may bring forth
the answer.
A report was made of some
members working their 40 hours
in the shop and going to some of
these small art ware shops and
working on Saturday. We hope the
guilty parties can be made to see
the light and of the injustice be-
ing done the trade by such practice.
Surely in this day and age when
we are striving as a unit for the
betterment of all, what solace is
there for certain individuals to
break the link and endanger the
earnings of many just to satisfy
their greed.
Although we are adding many
new members to the roll each week,
the attendance at our weekly ses-
sion hovers around the same
mark. We hope these new comers
can find time to drop in on us
once in a while and learn the bene-
fits to be gained by attending
regularly-O. C. 124.

National Officers

Trenton, N. 1.-THE final de-
tails of the 10th anniversary ban
quet are about completed. This
afafir, which will be held at Roman
Hall on March 18th is eagerly
awaited by members and their
many friends. President James
Duffy, and one other national Of
ficer, has promised to attend, as
suring US that we will hear the
latest in national trade news. Those
who have heard President Duffy
speak in the past know that he
calls a spade a spade where it
concerns the working man.
From the inquiries received by
new employees concerning the
time when they will be allowed to
join our union, the Taft-Hartley
Act has at least awakened the
worker to the fact that in union
there is strength. The motto, form
erly the motto of our republic, was
dropped many years ago because
of it's suggestive nature to the
working class of people by the
powers that be.
The approaching marriage of our
Sister, Katherine Wisneski, is the
talk of all the boys and girls and
they all wish them a happy and
long life together.

Factfiinders Named
In Labor Dispute

Washington LPA)- Using his
powers under the national emer-
gencies section of the Taft-Hartley
Act for the first time last week,
President Truman created fact
finding board to investigate the la
Dor dispute between the Atomic
Trades & Labor Council of the AFL
and the Carbide & Carbon Chem
ical Co.
The AFL group represents about
800 production workers and 200 re-
search workers at the Oak Ridge
Laboratory which until March /
had been managed by the Monsan-
to Chemical Co. When the Atomic
Energy Commission transferred
the Oak Ridge plant to Carbide,
new contract provisions were pro-
posed which the union found un-
acceptable.

wages and sick-leave- vacation pro-
visions, so the President, by execu-
tive order, created the board to
report back to him on or about
March 19.
The Labor Council has agreed to
refrain from any strike action until
that time, and meanwhile negotia-
tions will continue. The company
and the Atomic Energy Commission
have been asked by Truman to
guarantee that the present wage
scale will be continued until the
fact board reports its findings.
Under the provisions of TIL the
President may, when he gets the
report, direct the Attorney Gen
eral to apply to a federal court for
an injunction restraining the union
from striking. Such an injunction

Senate May Transfer
USES To Labor Dept

Washington (LPA) - President
Truman's plan to place the U. S.
Employment Service and adminis-
tration of unemployment compen-
sation permanently in the hands of
Labor Dept was one step nearer
realization this week.
The Senate Labor Comittee, by a
vote of eight to four, approved the
plan. Unless the Senate disapproves
by March 10, under the Govern
ment Reorganization Act passed
in the 10th Congress, the Truman
proposal takes affect.
Organized labor has approved the

Workers Income
Need Not Equal
ExpenSes'--NAM

New York (LPA) THE Bureau
of Labor Statistics estimate of
what it costs a city family to live
halfway decently is no basis for
wage demands, the National Assn
Of Manufacturers asserted last
week. Industrial ownership's most
powerful propaganda agency point
ed out that the gap can be filled
by putting the whole family to
work.
BIS found that in June 1947 a
family of four, which kept up its
tax and insurance payments, and
had only $50 worth of medical care
a year, could just barely squeeze
by on S3458 a year.
Average family income for 1916
was $3806, another government eco
nomic report, cited by NAM, re-
vealed. This means that over a
third of Americas family units
were making less than what the
BIS says is needed for an "ade-
quate standard of living" Even
NAM comedies the lowest fifth of
our families got less than 1886,
and adds that "the average family
income varies enormously among
the different strata of family pop
ulation."
The gist of the MANS attack
upon pending union wage demands
is that in many families more than
one member Of the household is
working, and that in many instances
this extra wage-earner brings the
family income up to the BIS mini
mum. Therefore, it is 0. k. for
business to keep each workers
wage below the level necessary
for the support of a family.
That more than one wage is
necessary these days is obvious
from BIS wage figures for jan
uary 1948 = which NAM doesn't
quote. The weekly average of $52.27
comes to S271S.04 a year, presum-
ing year-round employment.
A somewhat smoother assault
upon labor's third round drive came
last week from the Natl City Bank.
The savings and investment insti-
tuition warned workers that pay
raises won't help them so long as
the increase in costs "can be" pass
ed back to them thru higher prices.
The price control solution was not
in the banks caution
against further initiation.

Waging Fight For
Therapy Treatment

Grafton, w. Va. - Although to
date it seems we have been waging
losing fight in our efforts to Sc
cure silicosis treatments for en-
ployees Of the Carr China CO., we
will not relax our efforts one iota
until it becomes a reality. Other
plants throughout the trade have
it and there is no reason why we
cannot have the same.
The clayshop resumed operations
after a three-week shutdown, due
to cold weather causing a gas
shortage. Needless to say the rest
period was costly as we all have
to eat.
The cold weather did not seem
to mar the attendance at Local
meetings which has been very good.
In fact, the younger members
seem to be more faithful along
this line than the old timers.
Our deepest sympathies to the
families of Mrs. Mae Smith and
Art Weaver in their hour of sor-
row. Bro. Weaver passed away in a
Government hospital in the South.
The condition of Bro. Earl Snay
who has been on the sick list since
early December remains unchang-
ed. A visit or card from his shop
mates would do a lot to cheer
him UP.
Bros. Donald Poe and Bud Flan-
nigan put in some useful hours
during the loaf. The boys treked to
the woods during the cold spell
and heavy snow, distributing food
for the wild game.
Two new members were initiated
at the meeting and their names
added to the roll.
The auditing committe will make
their report at our next meeting.
