The above is an illustration of
the luxurious, post war theatre
chairs to be installed shortly in
Schine's new Milford theatre. They
were built by the Heywood-Wake-
field Co, known from eoast-to-coast
as a manufacturer of fine, comfort
able furniture for household use.
The new chairs are not of the rum
of-the-mill variety, according to
Harold deGraw, Schine district
manager. They were built only af-
ter extensive research whereby the
body measurements Of average in
diViduals were tabulated and used
as standard dimensions in making
the chairs. In addition, the cush-
ions have the same coil spring con-
structiOn used in better grades of
furniture. The thickly padded
backs are in perfect ratio to the
deep-seated seats, assuring restful,
relaxing comfort Approximately

 Its radio, locked on the distress signal, continued to operate for eight minutes afterWard. This in- dication that the plane did not sink immediately was the basis for hopes that a large number of the 30 passengers and crew of seven escaped into life rafts.

Mayors Urge Prompt
Action On Housing

New York City (ILNS) - The
United States Conference of May
ors, in session here, urged immedi-
ate action by Congress ITO accom-
plish the housing detectives as re-
cited in the preamble to the Taft
Ellender- Wagner BILL"
The conference also asked the
following action:
Continuance of federal planning
for a public works program which
could be launched SHOULD such ac-
tion be necessary by reason of eco
nomic conditions"
appropriations of $500,000,00O
year by the federal government
for highway construction in 1949,
1850 and 1851, similar to those this
year and the last 2 years.
Continuance of the federal school
lunch program ION an adequate
basis"
The conference president, Mayor
George w. Welch of Grand Rapids,
Michigan, and other officers were
reelected.

of this later.

.posal for outright abolition of the
Labor Dept" he said, rather than
indirect reduction of it's functions
until it is not much more signifi-
cant than a mechanical bird in a
cuckoo clock would get the basic
issue involved in this discussion
before the American people"
"The limited responsibilities for
the administration of unemploy-
ment compensation which under
our laws belong to the federal gov
ernment," Cruikshank told the Sen
ators, "are likewise labor functions
since they deal with the employ
ment relationship and since they
are of direct concern to both indus
try and labor.
"The unemployment compensa-
tion for wage losses arising from
involuntary unemployment. 1t is
not relief program administered
in relation to need and is therefore
not properly a responsibility of a
or agency whose main
functions relate to the administra-
ton of public welfare. 1t is concern
ed with bringing about a greater
measure of employment stability

Complaints Aired
By Fair Sex At
Meeting Of LU SO

Clarksburg, w. Va. = As the
month of March rolls around each
year we are reminded of the an
nual Red Cross drive and asked tC
give generously to this worthy or
ganiZation. Two Representatives OF
the Red Cross appeared before the
last meeting, Mr.. Hornor, campaign
chairman and Mr.. Bronson, field
representative of the Eastern Divi.
sion. Both gentlemen gave a brief
history of the organization and the
goal set for this years drive. We
all know the service rendered by
the Red Cross during past floods
and the aid offered in disasters
of every nature. We feel sure the
potters will come forward with
their support as they have done in
the past years and make a credit
able showing.
A very fine turnout of the fair
sex was on hand to air their COM
plants. One of the members who
took the lead in bringing up the
complaint stated, "We are like chill
dren who play in the yard until we
get hurt and then run to our moth
ers to soothe our injuries" She Of
fered apologies for not attending
meetings regularly and promised in
the future they all would be
present when the chairman raped
the gavel to open the meeting.
We are hoping the male men,
bers will not be outdone and their
presence will leave no empty chairs.
With the new machinery installed
to date and more to be installed
later, the shop committee has quite
a job on their hands trying to
keep every lady on a job of some
kind.
President Duffy has promised to
visit our next meeting on Monday,
March 8. We are sure his advice
and counsel can straighten out our
problems. We would like to see
every member of the Local on hand.
1t seems strange that labor has
so many friends when election time
rolls around. These fair weather
friends can be put in their place
by merely checking their records.
Now is the time to be on guard |
and make sure you are registered

luty and privilege of every work

REMIND TAFT HIS DAD
STARTED LABOR DEPT

Washington (LPA)- Organized
labor lined up solidly in favor OF
President Truman's Reorganization
Plan No. l of 1948, in hearings be-
fore Senate Labor Committee last
week. Unless the Senate rejects the
plan by March 19, it goes into eff
feet.
The u. S. Employment Service,
under the plan, is permanently
made a part of the Labor Dept, as
is the unemployment compensation
work now carried on by the Bureau
of Employment Security of the
Federal Security Agency.
Both Nelson Cruikshank, speak
ing for the AFL, and Paul Sifton,
speaking for the CIO, reminded La
Dor Committee Chairman Robert
A. Taft (R., Ohio) that it was his
father who as his last official act
as President signed the bill setting
up the Labor Dept.
Sifton went on to quote the 1914
COP platform which demands that
"all governmental labor activities
must be placed under the direct au-
thority and responsibility of the
Secretary of Labor"
Fear dominates all of the argu-
ments against the reorganization

7 aft & Hartley
Disagree over
Changing L ow

Washington (LPA)- No sooner
had Sen. Robert A. Taft (R., Ohio)
finished telling reporters that no
changes are contemplated in the
Taft Hartley Act this year, than
up bobbed his little pal Rep. Fred
Hartley (R., n. J.) to say that he
wanted to tighten it up"
The senior partner in the team
said he didn't think that any chan
ges would be made in the law by
the S0th Congress, although he is
willing to vote for an amendment to
permit union papers to carry poll
tical endorsements so long as the
papers go only to the regular sub
scription list.
But Hartley isn't happy. He told
a paper salesmen's luncheon that
in April he will introduce amend
mentS to the Sherman and Clayton
antitrust acts designed to remove
exemptions that have been accord
ed to labor unions. Hartley hopes
by this device to give the federal
government power to break any
strike which affects interstate COM
merce, on the grounds that it is
conspiracy in restraint Of trade.
The New Jersey union hater is
also chagrined over the failure of
Congress to include in the omnibus
anti-union bill which bears his
name a strong enough anti-picket-
ing provision ''to make it federal
offense for a union to prevent a
worker from going to his job if he
wants to work"
Both of these provisions were en-
bodied in Hartley's original sugges-
ions, he said, but they were drop
ped from the Taft Hartley bill to
make it possible to round up enough
votes in the Senate to override
President Truman's veto. Now
Hartley plans to introduce them as
separate bills. If he does they will |
lrst come before the 14-member
Tolnt Committee of Congress which

Conditions at the Mutual were
somewhat different where actually

$92 profit from candy and cigar

was reported from a very reliable
source many of the missing bottles
were carried out of the plant to
acquire the small deposit which ac-

Along this line we are very pleas

World War II Vets
Push For Housing

Washington (LAP)-Over 1900
veterans of World War ii poured
into Washington last week end to
tell their Congressman why the
Taft Ellender- Wagner housing bill
must be passed.
They came to attend the Veter-
ans Housing Conference, called to
coordinate the housing drive of all
veterans organizations. High point
on the agenda was the delegates
visit to Capitol Hill to see the
men who are supposed to represent
them in the Congress of the U. S.,
the men who while the war was on
promised that veterans would re-
turn TO homes fit for heroes, and
who have since sabotaged every
attempt to get Government aid for
housing.
Four men, representing four of
the participating organizations, is
sued the call for the conference.
They are: Franklin ID. Roosevelt
Jr., Veterans Committee; Robert
Wagner Jr., Catholics War Veter-
ans, son of the author of labor's
Magma Carta-the Wagner Labor
Relations Act; Rep. Jack Javits
(R., N. Y.), representing the Jew
ish War Veterans, one of the few
consistent Republican supporters of
housing legislation in the House,
and Rep. John Kennedy 3D.,
Mass.), a leader in the Veterans of
Foreign Wars.
Of the major veterans groups,
only the American Legion has re-
fused to participate and many of
its posts, including those affiliated

Cambridge, Ohio-The members
of Local Union 122 received very
pleasant surprise last week when
we were honored with a visit from
President James M. Duffy. His
presence in our midst enabled US
to straighten out our many COM
plex problems, and we cannot
thank him enough for the splendid
results of his visit.
Arriving at the plant at noon,
the Brotherhood chief Immediately
swung into action and met with
Local and plant officials and took
up the most prominent and press
ing problems. In the evening a
special meeting was held at the
Moose hall and from s p. m. until
near midnight he held the large at
tendance in electrified attention
with his remarks and summation
of our questions and solutions.
He opened with an interesting ac-
count of his trip to Peru as an
A. F. of l.. representative to the
conference held in Lima. The most
important thing brought out was
the contrast in working and living
conditions in that country and ours,
and the need of education in labor
and government practices to help
ourselves as we'll as other countries
maintain better labor standards. A

Younger Members
Should Show More
Interest In Local

In the absence of President Guy
Digman who is still on the sick
list, Bro. Ernie Terrence presided
at the last meeting of Local Union
No. IL. An old hand at the game
Ernie filled the bill one hundred
per cent, even though it was rather
difficult at times to visilize his
presence behind the smoke screen
laid down by his trusty pipe.
We are very glad to report Bro.
Digman is well along the road of
recovery. We understand his pro-
gress was not brought forth by
medical science but is solely due
to scanning the sport pages of the
daily press and being informed that
spring training for ball players is
now at hand. o. K. Guy, we hope it
won't be long before we are seeing
you at West End ball park in that
familiar role a la Durocher.
1t is also nice to see George
Lanning and Pearl Clutter back in
the ranks. Their presence reminds
us of by-gone days when No. IL
was real progressive unit in the
Brotherhood chain. Too bad some
of our younger members do not
pattern after the old Timers and
attend the meetings regularly and
strive to advance the interest of
their trade. Some are content to sit
back and let the other fellow do all
the work while they enjoy the bene-
fits. But just the minute that some
thing goes wrong, or decision is
made that does not suit their indiv-
idual thinking, then they are the
first ones to criticize. This is not
the spirit of real trade unionist
and certainly not one to bring ad-
vancement to the trade. Let's all
make it a point from here on in
to attend meetings regularly and
join with our fellow benchmates in
promoting the interests of all.
A resolution committee was ap-
pointed and is now ready to re-
ceive resolutions for this years
If you have a resolu-
tion to offer, get it in right away
so as the merits of your proposal
can be discussed before the Local
