Scribe Writes
(Confinued From Page One)

why not every local union at their
last meeting in December have the
oath of obligation read and strive
for a better harmonious relation
ship in the coming year.
We held our usual Christmas
party at the local hall on Dec. 13,
but due to night shifts, some of our
members could not attend. The
Eljer Company issued bonus checks
which also included retired en-
ployees as we'll as those on the
active list.
We have our grievances here the
same as other plants, but it is
pretty nice to sit down and iron
out the differences over the con-
ference table. We know the day is
not far off when competition will
be keen, so we must strike to have
a better product so as to have
steady employment.
Our next meeting will be held on
Dec. 27 at which time nomination
and election of officers will take
place. Let us all be present and
vote for those we feel best qualified
for office.
The members of Local 102 wish
the national officials, Heralds en-
ployees, members throughout the
trade and officials of the Eljer
Company, a very Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.-O.C. 102

LLPE Scorecard
Lists Vote On
Ten Key Issues

Washington (LPA) - Labor's
League For Political Action-AFL
has just issued 16-page pamphlet
revealing the votes in the first ses-
sion of the 81st Congress on 10
key issues. The pamphlet, entitled
"Your Congressional Scorecard," is
ammunition for LLPE workers
throughout the country, showing
who are for labor, and who are
against.
The ten issues listed are: Lucas
anti-injunction amendment to the
Taft-Hartley Act; Taft ft-Smith-Don-
nell omnibus amendment to TIL;
Civil Rights Filibuster; rent con-
troll; public power (motion against
iva steam plant); housing; At
lantic pact ratification; public pow
er transmission lines amend
ments); minimum wages; John
Carson appointment to ETC.
The booklet declares "This vot-
ing record is only half the story.
Congress has one more session and
many more votes to go before the
people back home vote their APP
proval or disapproval Of the record
their congressman stand on in the
1850 election"

Public Graduate

Foley maintained. "a high and
stable volume of new home produc-
tion would be a powerful factor in
helping to stabilize the general
economy"
Warning that home ownership
may be either "a boon" or "mill-
stone round the necks" of families
who can't manage the costs, Foley
urged continuing appraisal of hous-
ing needs. He urged consideration
of such legislation as that proposed
by subcommittee chairman John
Sparkman Cd, Ala.) to aid middle
income families to form coopera-
tives and mutual building associa-
tions to construct homes on non
profit basis. Private builders, he
indicated, still aren't meeting this
need.
About 20R Of the Baltimore
families who moved out of the pub
lie housing projects voluntarily
during the first nine months of
1949 moved into homes they are
buying, Egan reported. Even Rep.
Robert Rich Or, Pa rockribbed
of "socialized housing,
expressed his approval of the re-
cord of families who graduated"
from public housing.
Sparkman expressed satisfaction
with the steps already taken since
Congress passed the 1949 public
housing bill. The federal govern
ment has authorized loan contracts
for 134 900 dwelling units over the
next two years in 108 localities. OF
these, at least $4,000 will probably
be under construction by the middle
of the summer of 1850. Altogether,
have been received for
402 projects which would provide
BIS ,252 units of new low-rent hous-
ing, Sparkman was told.

In

gap problem. "We want to know
whether we (the miscellaneous
group of industries) are being ped
died off by our diplomats to satisfy
an untested theory or to satisfy
the export interests, and whether
there is some other way of meet
ing the problem. If further tariff
reduction is no solution, consider
ing its boomerang aspect we want
to know why we should be offered
up as the sacrificial goats, simply
as disastrous experiment or a
grand but empty gesture to inn
press Western Europe.
"Mr. Paul Hoffman, ECA Ad-
ministrator, who comes from the
automobile industry, has so far
offered no suggestion to show how
the vast domestic automobile mar
ket might best be shared with
European producers. His eagerness
for imports falters at this point, I"
Strackbein commented.
Import Balance Held Dangerous
"As long as our exports continue
at the postwar pace" he contin-
ued, there is no hope Of striking
an import balance without bring
ing many of our industries to the
brink of destruction. The state
ment that proposed increased i'm
ports of 2 billion dollars a year
from Europe would amount to less
than l percent of the gross nation
al product is true but must be
known to be wholly meaningless by
those who give it currency. This is
like saying that a disastrous flood
would represent only small
amount of rainfall if it were
spread over the whole United
States.
Actually, 2 billion dollar in
crease in imports would not nearly
bridge the present gap between ex-
ports and imports. To do that we
would have to increase our imports
by another 2 or 3 billion dollars,
presumably from Asiatic coun-
tries
The meeting will consider beside
the tariff and import program, the
charter of the International Trade
Organization, and the escape clause
in the trade agreements. at will
be the first joint meeting of its
between management
and labor where both will be talk
ing the same language and seeing
eye to eye, that know Of" Strack-
being remarked. perhaps the idea
will catch on in other directions"

Sen. Taft BIames
Labor Newspapers
For TIL Prejudice

Washington LPA)-Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft (R., Ohio), fresh from
his voyage to re-discover the voters
of his state, is a disappointed man.
81 have talked to many work
men about the Taft Hartley law,
"he reported in his newspaper
column Dec. ID, and found "a sub
stantial number of union members,
and a much higher per cent of
non-union workmen" like the law.
But, alas, he added "The rest
have prejudice against it grow
ing out of labor newspaper propa-
ganda, but are unable to state what
their objections are. | believe most
of them are open to persuasion
whenever they can be reached by
argument. Nor do | think that
workmen are by any means per-
suaded in favor of the socialistic,
planned economy, 'Handout State
principles, supported today by the
CIO and AFL leadership. This is
no grassroots movement but one
imposed by the intellectual left
wingers employed by. Mr.. Green
and Mr.. Murray"

do. their part. / have found actual
ly heavy losses in certain plants
where, due not to any carelessness
on the part of employees, but to
management's failure to provide
proper materials and facilities to
do the job in way assuring pro-
duction of quality wares. One thing
we cannot understand is some firms
by-passing men with long years of
potting experience when vacancy
in a foremanship occurs and en-
ploying people with practically no
pottery experience or background
whatsoever. Who, in their sup
ervisory capacities, undertake to
tell skilled and experienced trades
men how to perform their jobs. |
have actually known such inexper-
fenced supervisor to impose i'm
practical instructions on their en-
ployees, resulting in appreciably
decreased production and in
creased defective ware, but they
had to obey orders. Men and women
working in the potteries, members
of the Brotherhood, are above the
average in intelligence and can be
depended upon to give a fair days
work for wages received. We do
not believe workers in any other
industry in the land have any more
interest in our mutual industrial
problems sthan is at all times in
evidence among pottery workers.
As to, Mr.. Wells statement re-
garding pensions, we do realize the
great responsibility of providing
the monies enabling immediate
payment Of pensions. However, it
was agreed in Conference that a
joint committee was to be appoint.
ed to investigate the possibility of
establishing pension plan for
employees working under our col
lective wage agreement. This mat
teie9ests with this joint committee.
They must carry out the task. SO
far as the Brotherhood is concern
ed, we intend to do this.
Pending this, we do not think it
fair for anyone to rush to the
newspapers regarding any of the
difficulties of the problem. 1t is too
bad the newspapers, as usual,
manage to bring out headlines
causing reactions and misunder-
standings as to what person may
have said. In this instance of mis-
representation of what Mr.. Wells
said as to the possibility OF pen
sion in the pottery industry was
most grotesquely twisted. Mr..
Wells did not say pensions were
impossible. He said it was impos-
sible to acquire the 20 million
which he estimates would be nee
essary for the establishment of a
fund from which to begin immedi-
ate payments to men and women
age sixty-fve, but the establish
ment of pension plan is some
thing different, We believe a pen
sion plan jointly contributory by
employers and employees on an in
dustry-wide basis is practical and
can be set up.

New York. = President William
Green said that organization of the
international Confederation of Free
Trade Unions in London will event
ually mean "the lifting of stand
ards of wages and working condi-
tions in all democratic countries
and therefore will be of great bene-
fit to American workers"
He made his statement in ship
board press conference on the
Queen Mary which brought back
the AFL president as well as
George Meany, secretary-treasurer;
Charles j. MCGOWAN, president of
the Boilermakers Union; w. C.
Doherty, president of the National
Association of Letter-Carriers, and
George Harrison, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, all
AFL vice presidents.
1t was a triumphant return for
the AFL leaders whose negotia-
tions with other national trade
union movements had averted any
calamitous riffs and had led to the
establishment of democratic
world labor federation with repre-
sentation in SO nations and able to
speak in the name of 40, 100000
workers.
Working in close harmony with
the AFL officials were the spokes-
men for the Congress of Industrial
Organizations Two of their dele
gates, CIO Vice President Allan
Haywood and David Macdonald,
secretary-treasurer of the United
Steelworkers of America, returned
on the same boat and participated
in the joint press conference with
the AFL spokesmen.
''The two delegations acted uni
tedly," said President Green. 81
can truthfully say that there is
real international unity between
both groups because we agreed so
thoroughly on all proposals. We
are both satisfied with the work
done, and the sound actions taken"
Secretary Meany stated that
"the kind of unity we have achiev-
ed on the international front should
help achieve unity between the
AFL and CIO on the domestic
front"
Secretary Meany said that the
international confederation would
make possible "a real fight against
communist influence the world
over" He said:
"The fight against communism
will go on, through the interna-
tional confederation of free trade
unions, right inside the iron cur
tain countries. There were many
delegates at the London conference
from Soviet-occupied lands and we
intend to maintain liaison with the
democratic elements that remain
in those iron curtain countries"
Secretary Meany also declared
that one of the most important
steps taken by the conference was
"the action against dictator Franco
which should be of great encour-
agement to Spanish workers who
are fighting fascism."
The delegation agreed that the
biggest job would be to initiate
real support for the point FOUR
bold new program, to aid foreign
countries raise their living stand
ards with U. S. help and know-how,
