changes in this program as part of
its demands in current negotiations
with the giant motor corporation.
The NLRB, in the Inland Steel
case, ordered the company to con-
suit with the union before making
any future changes in the retire
ment plan.
With Board member J. Copeland
Gray dissenting, the four other
members of the NLRB held the
pension payments are "an integral
part of the entire wage structure,
and the character of the employe
representatives interest in it, and
the terms of its grant, is no differ
ent than in any other case where
a change in the wage structure is
effected"
Referring to Inland SteePs re-
tirement rule, the Board ruled that
"matters affecting tenure of en-
ployment lie within the statu-
tory scope Of collective BARGAINING.
Any other view would remove bar
gaining with respect to such mat
ters as seniority and union secu-
rity provisions from the confer
ence table to the picket line"
The history of the Taft-Hartley
law, the Board pointed out, shows
compelling evidence" that Con-
gress "recognized that pension and
retirement plans and other SINH
lar welfare insurance schemes fell
within the meaning of the term
wages or other conditions of en-
as written in 1885, and
that it was willing to allow that
to stand"

NLRB Rules Company Hos To
Borgoin On Welfare Proposals

Washington (IPA)-An NLRB
decision, which may play a part in
wage negotiations now in process
involving more than 100000 work
ers, was handed down this week.
1t says, in the first ruling on the
subject in NLRB's 13-year history,
that employers must bargain with
their employees on pension or retire
ment plans if the employees request
it.
In a case originating in August
1916, the United Steelworkers of
America-CIO had charged Inland
Steel Co., of Chicago with unfair
labor practices for its refusal to
discuss a proposed social insurance
plan.
The catch, as far as the USA is
concerned, is that the Boards ord
er to Inland Steel Co., is condition
ed on the unions compliance with
the filing and affidavit require
ments of the Taft Hartley law
within 80 days after April 13.
Steel union top officials are now
engaged in negotiating proposed
wage increases, and welfare fund
proposals with more than 500 steel
companies, both basic steel and
fabricators. Whether the union will
decide to comply with the TIL re-
quirements, which it has not done
up to now, will be up to the unions
Executive Board.
Also deeply interested in the pre-
cedent-setting decision is the Unit
ed Auto Workers-CIO. More than
100000 employees of General Mot
ors Corp, acting thru the union,
have obtained temporary injunc-
tion, which expires in June, hold
ing up changes in GINS insurance
program. The NAV has proposed

Fla. Labor Seeks
Relief From Bans
On Union Actions

Jacksonville, Fla. (LPA)-A bill
to allow organized labor a chance
to defend itself against injunctions
in strike situations is being draft
ed as a result of discussion at the
47th annual convention of the Flor
ida Federation of Labor last week.
Delegates voted to instruct Fed
Grafton officials to seek passage at
the 1949 session of the state legis-
lature of a law providing that in
the event of a request for an in
junction against a union, the judge
to whom such action is referred
shall provide for taking testimony
before granting a prohibitive order.

Denhanl Is Pushing
Plants For Vote I'm
Building Trades

Chicago (LPA)-Ignoring a re-
cent federal court ruling that the
construction industry is not in in
terstate commerce, NLRB General
Counsel Robert Denham revealed
here last week that he is pushing
ahead plans to conduct union shop
authorization elections thru the
building trades.
The first of the complicated polls
of building trades workers will take
place in western Pennsylvania at
the end of the month, Denham
said. Second on the list is Detroit.
Denham was making his first
speech to a trade union convention
that of the Operating Engineers
AFL. He told delegates that after
three tests NLRB hoped to be able
to train 20 to % "teams" to set
up procedures for determining
whether or not building trades
workers want to continue to enjoy
security contracts.
Prior to the passage of Taft
Hartley the construction industry
was one of the strongholds of the
closed shop. But under the 1947
law the traditional closed shop is
forbidden, and even a union shop
contract requires NLRB election
authorization.
Denham congratulated the Engi-
neers on the new voluntary arbitra-
ton machinery of building trades
workers and employers to elimi-
nate jurisdictional disputes.
In his speech the NLRB counsel
made no reference to the previous
weeks decision by federal district
court Judge j. Foster Symes, in
Denver, holding that the construc-
ton industry is not interstate COM
merce and therefore not covered
by Taft Hartley.

TN Law Weakens
Appeal OF US To
Labor In Europe

Washington (LPA)-While con
gressional labor haters were con.
sidering new anti-union measures
AFL President William Green told
a Georgetown University Foreign
Service School audience last week
that the Taft Hartley law is "the
greatest barrier" to American la
boris victory over Communism.
Labor management relations
which are conducted in an atmos-
phere of deep conflict, suspicion
and strife, subject to far-reaching
government regulation, are alien to
the purpose of labor-management
cooperation toward improving the
living standard of the people" !"
Green explained.
The AFL chieftain emphasized
that "the test of our success and
perhaps the survival of the demo-
cratic system itself is our ability
to maintain harmonious relations
constructively designed within the
framework of voluntary choice on
the part of workers and manage
ment alike.
By establishing a system of COM
pulsion, Green said, the Taft Hart
ley law lessons the ability of Am
erican labor to appeal to the work
ers of Europe to participate in US
foreign economic programs.
Taft Hartley, the AFL president
pointed out, aids employers "who
are intent upon destroying unions"
This will become clear, he said, if
a recession sets in. He scored the
laws discrimination against strik-
ers in bargaining elections, and the
tremendous powers vested in the
NLRB's general counsel.

Workers Education
Bureaus Activity
Praised By Green

Washington (LPA)-The grow.
ing complexity of a modern unions
activities require greater knowl-
edge and understanding on the
part of union members, AFL Presi-
dent William Green last week told
the biennial convention of the
Workers Education Bureau of Am
erica, AFL educational arm.
Green warmly endorsed the
WEB, and pledged his continued
efforts in securing for the agency
additional financial assistance from
AFL affiliates. He especially urg-
ed an educated, alert union mem
bership as the most effective foil
to the activities of Communist
agents in the US, and insisted that
the best way to bring the message
of democracy to the wage earners
of Europe would be thru the ac-
tivities of US unionists. ''1n Eu-
rope, the totalitarian forces are
gaining because they capitalize on
the poverty and distress of the peo-
ple," Green explained. "We must
find way to feed them and over
come that. 1t is labor who can tell
them the true story. That's why we
are urging our government to rec
ognize labor and to permit the as
signment of labor representatives
to Europe to work with the ordi-
nary men and women of these coun-
tries to show them the difference
between totalitarianism and free
dom, liberty and democracy"
After hearing a report from
WEB Director John Connors that
four international unions, four
state federations, and more than
70 city bodies and local unions
have affiliated in the first three
of the year, delegates elect
ed new president, George NJ.
president of the Railway
Clerks. He fills a vacancy created
by the death last year of E. E.

prevent a proposed $5,540,000 cut

The cut would deprive $4,000 teach

TWOC OPENS MICHIGAN DRIVE

Detroit (LPA) - A drive to
bring Michigan's telephone work
ers into the CIO was opened last
week at a national conference of
representatives of Telephone Work
ers Operating Committee affiliates.
TWOC Chairman Allan S. Hay
wood pointed out that telephone
workers certainly should get a
substantial wage increase, since
"the nine top officers of AT&T
have had an average increase in
salary since 1941 of $4,000 per
year" This, he said, contrasts with
the $30-an-hour wage increase de-
manded by the American Union Of
Telephone Workers, TWOC affili-
ate.

Comment On
World Events

Labor has had some hard things
to say about the American Medi-
cal Association and it's official
Journal, but it can endorse the
Journals recent editorial assertion
that the House of Representatives,
in shelving a bill which would make
the United States a member of
the World Health Organization,
owes an explanation of it's action
to all those interested in public
health.
Recently the Rules Committee
of the House., the Journal says,
"tabled a bill to ratify the Consti-
tuition of the World Health Organ
ization and to make the United
States a member of that body.
ALREADY % other nations have
signed the Constitution of WHO
and the three additional ratifica-
tions necessary to complete organ
ization will unquestionably become
effective within the next few
weeks. The first meeting of the
new World Health Organization has
been called in Geneva, Switzerland,
in June. This means no doubt that
the United States will not be pre-
sent as a member"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-04-22

The Journal goes on to say:
unfortunately a statement has
not appeared as to why the Rules
Committee took the action mention
ed. Unless there are reasons which
are secret and not available, the
failure of the committee to rec
ommend positive action is an en-
barrassment to American leaders
in the field of health.
"The American Medical Associa-
ton has thus far participated in the
development of the World Health
Organization and has also played a
leading role in the organization of
the World Medical Association.
"There has seemed to be every
reason why these two bodies should
cooperate for the advancement of
world health. Some Of the projects
which the Interim Commission of
the World Health Organization has
been studying include international
agreements for the control Of quar-
antine and isolation and for the
prevention of spread of infectious
diseases; establishment Of inter
national standards for biological
preparations; and the development
and circulation of scientifically col
lected vital statistics.
"The Rules Committee, which
has rejected participation by the
United States in this activity,
would do well to explain the action
taken to the American agencies in
terested in public health which
have thus far strongly supported
participation by our government in
the World Health Organization"
Thomas Mann, famous novelist
and peace advocate, wrote recent
ly to the United Nations Appeal
for Children at Lack Success, N.
Y:
81 am touched and pleased by
the idea Of the appeal. 1t is a
beautiful and highly humanitarian
project, and aside from its prac-
tical purpose, it can contribute
much to strengthen the feeling of
human solidarity. The
for Children will have to be
counted among the happiest and
most generous actions of the Unit
ed Nations, and wholeheartedly
wish the altruistic undertaking the
success it deserves"

Determination usually pays on
and you can take the word OF two
Metropolitan policemen on that.
Both Pvt. Temple j. Dykes of No
Precinct and Pvt. Paul v, Minnick
who drives the No. IL Precinct patrol
wagon, decided to join the police
force because they were tired of their
old jobs and wanted to get little
more action"
Well, they got it-a fact that was
apparent yesterday when the two
policemen were given the depart
ment's monthly award of merit for
performance of duty during August.
Took Pay Cut for job.
Pvt. Dykes, 25. took pay cut
when he left his job as lieutenant
with the Capitol police to join the
Metropolitan force. His avowed
goal was some action" and he de-
cided that pounding beat in the
city would be more likely to bring it
than nodding good morning to Sen
ators and Representatives from a
swivel chair.
He was right.
Five months after being sworn in.
he came face to face with an armed
hold-up man. The bandit tried to
steal a car at gun point, eluded
Pvt. Dykes who arrived a few min
utes later, and then was seen by
the policeman few blocks away.
Pvt. Dykes called on the man to
surrender. Instead, the suspect lev
eled his gun. The rookie policeman
dropped to the ground, took careful
aim and was ready to shoot when
he saw a woman walk directly into
his line of fire.
Precious Seconds.
Seconds were precious. Pvt. Dykes
again called on the man to surren-
der. His answer was the click OF
the bandits gun as he pulled the
trigger. But the gun was set in the
safety position. The hammer
clicked harmlesSly. $3.50 1900,
The confused bandit dropped his
gun. and was led away, murmur-
ing Its good thing for you my
gun wouldn't work.
For his extreme bravery, for his
unwillingness to risk an innocent
life even at the peril of his own,
Pvt. Dykes was recommended for
the award for the month of August
by his commanding officer, Capt.
Archie M. Winfree. and by Francis
