Weekly Earnings
Remain Stable

Washington, d, c. ULNS). -
Weekly earnings of the more than
IL million production workers in
manufacturing pl AM s averaged
$5425 in mid-February. This figure
was virtually unchanged from the
levels reached in the fall of last
year. These preliminary estimates
were made available by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor.
In February gross hourly earn
ings advanced slightly from the
last September figure to little
over $1.37.
A moderate decline in the length
of the workweek, reflecting some
slackening in number of producer
and consumer goods industries,
has served to offset the hourly
earnings gain.
The current average factory
workweek is almost one hour short
er than a year ago. Average hour
ly earnings have increased about
8 cents over the year, primarily as
a result of wage rate gains.

Highlights of her varied career,
as she recalled them on her birth
day, include these:
She helped organize her own
branch of the hatters' union in
1905, and took an active part in the
fight on the open shop in the in
dustry.
In 1910, she was one Of the
active workers for the 10000 shirt
waist makers, most of them young
immigrant girls, who struck for
living wages and humane working
conditions in New York factories.
She divided her time between the
picket lines and greeting girls as
they came out of Jail, and beseig-
ing wealthy women with social
consciences for help. New York re-
porters and cops still remember

Senators Endorse
Union Protest
TO Bar cover-Up

Washington (LPA)-Several Us
Senators last week wrote the Fed
eral Communication Commission
supporting g the Communication
Workers of Americas protest
against AT&Ts attempt to cover
up the amount it pays Bell System
executives.
FEC has been requiring AT&T
to report salaries of $4,000 and
over. Until last year the rule was
that AT&T must report everything
over $4,000 - and that's what
CWA thinks the rule ought to be
now.
But not so AT&T, which last
month asked FEC to suspend the
rule altogether. The so billion
monopoly says filing this report is
"burdensome."
CWA President Joseph Beirne
has reminded FEC that: We've
been using this information in bar
gaining with telephone companies,
pointing out the substantial diff
ferences between these amounts
and the average gross earnings OF
s49.95 a week for non-supervisory
employees. That may be the reason
the companies have suddenly decid-
ed that reporting them has become
'unduly burdensome.'"
Sen. Hubert Humphrey 3D.
Mimi last week wrote FEC urg-
ing that the salary reporting rule
be retained. 1t acts as a deterrent
"to overpaying executives Of the
Bell SYSTEM" Humphrey said.
Sen Wayne Morse Or, Ore }
told FEC he's interested in the
question too, and thinks the reports
nave served useful purpose.
