Under the new law, unem-
ployed will receive twenty

six weeks, or thirty dollars II
the worker has two other de-
pendents.
:, In a conversation with State
Representative Frank w. King,
: t was found out that there are
- everal technical points which
may affect the amount of com
pensation which the applicant
will get if he files at this time.
The attorney general of Ohio
will make some important de-
cisions in the next few days. One
decision which will be made is
the all-important one of de-
> noting which shall be the first
rday of the week.
This decision is one which
may mean the difference be-
tween the applicant receiving a
total of $4,000, or the sum OF
$4,000 which is an increase OF
SO per cent.
The new law comes into effect
on August %, but due to the
mixup of the first day of the
week, B a Ii a d is urging the
UAW- -CIO members to wait until
August 29 to file their claims.
This will eliminate any chance
of the applicant being placed in
the old bracket and smaller
unemployment check.

JOE LOUIS BOUT
is CANCELLED

Admirers of Joe Louis who have
looked forward to seeing the
Brown Bomber" imam exhibition
bout, are in for a big disappoint-
mSnt.
Billy Colbert, st. Paul match
maker, was forced to cancel the
champions scheduled exhibition
appearance at the st. Paul Audi
forum, Jan. 20. According to him,
the cancellation had to be made
because of a date conflict with
the st. Paul Golden Gloves Anna
teur event.
Colbert said, however, he
would try to book Louis a later
date. He said he had never had
such an advance demand for
tickets.

Handling of Meat Animals

Care in handling meat animals
on their way to market Is canny

quantity which the ordinary con-
sumner or producer does not realize,

culture.
In l947, according to figures
compiled by the National Livestock
Loss Prevention board, the bruising
Of animals in transit-by rail and
In truck-caused a loss Of just short
Of so million pounds Of meat. This
was meat that had to be trimmed
from slaughtered carcasses and
discarded-pure waste. The net
money loss, the board estimates,
was slightly less than 10 million
dollars. Including stock dead, or
crippled on arrival at market, the
loss and waste figures mount to
almost 70 million pounds Of meat
and just short Of IS million dollars.
directly or indirectly. the farmers
bear most OF this loss.
Not all the waste can be prevent

can be reduced greatly by intelli-

about half the bruising occurs on
farms and In loading for shipment.
Nails, sharp corners. inadequate

HiII-CIImbinK Errors

One Of the most common faults
in hill climbing is to stay in high
gear too long. Cars frequently
labor up hills. going slower and
slower until both car and engine
have almost stopped. This Is bad
practice and sometimes dangerous.
It is a common cause Of overhead
ing and "vaporlock." There is no
point In straining to see how steep
a hill can be climbed in high gear.
When the car begins to labor on
the hill, shift to second when the
speed drops to around 20 miles an
hour.

MANY ARMOUR
WORKERS WIN
PAY INCREASES

Chicago UPA) = The United
Packinghouse Workers of America
and Armour & Co., one of the Big
Four meat packers, have agreed
on a contract giving most workers
pay raises ranging from one-halt
cent to Is cents an hour.
An UPWA official estimated
that about $4,000 of the 25,O0C
workers covered will get larger
paychecks starting Oct. 81, the
date to which the contract was re-
troactive.
The Amalgamated Meat Cutters,
is expected to sign a similar con-
tract for the 12,0C0 Armour work
ers which it represents.
UPWA's pact includes across
the-board raises for Armour work
ers in Birmingham, Ala. (2k
cents), Fargo, N. D. (212 cents),
Oklahoma City q cents), Fort
Worth, Texas q cents), and Tif-
ton, Ga. az cents.)
The Armour contract does not
have the long retroactivity to Sept.
IL as the Swift contract did, but
Ralph Helstein, UPWA president,
hailed a new feature in which
Armour is pioneering; 36-hour-
work week guarantee in five days,
instead of the six which the old
contract provided. Thus, if man
works one eight-hour day, he is
guaranteed 28 hours more work
within the next four days.)
Other features of the contract:
three weeks vacation after 10
years service Cnstead of 20
years.; elimination of multiple
rates" (now a worker gets the rate
of the highest job he works on);
and improvements in severance
pay and in the seniority plan.
The UPWA-Armour pact runs to
Aug. IL, 1850, but may be reopened
for wages by either side after next
Feb. Is. Of the Il plants covered,
the larger ones are in Chicago,
Omaha, East st. Louis, Kansas
City, st. Joseph, Mo-, Fort Worth,
Tex, Oklahoma City, and st. Paul.

3 Maritime Unions Used Coercion In
Oregon Port, Natl Labor Board Finds

Coos Bay, Ore. (LPA) - Three
west coast maritime unions were
guilty of coercing employees of the
Irwin-Lyons Lumber Co. here, but
were not guilty of conducting a
secondary boycott against a second
company because it was principal
ly owned by the same people who
owned Irwin-Lyons, the Natl
Labor Relations Board ruled.
Two of the unions affected were
the Marine Cooks & Stewards and
Local II of the Int'l Longshoremen
and Warehousemen's Union, both
under fire for their insistence on
following the Communist line. The
third union was the Independent
Marine Firemen's Assn.
The case grew from a dispute
over the manning, loading and un-
loading of the motor vessel, Rolan-
do, whose owners signed contract
with the Sailors Union of the Pac-
ific-AFL, west coast division of the
Seafarers Int'l Union. The crew
had signed cards naming the SUP
as bargaining agent, after Irwin
Lyons commissioned the ship in the
Of 1948 to operate in the
west coast lumber trade.
When the Rolando arrived in San
l.
August, 1948, the Longshoremen
demanded that dock workers, not
seamen, be employed in a number
of deck jobs connected with unload
ing. The company refused and the
Longshoremen picketed the ship.

unions joined the picket line when
the company refused to hire any

Connie Tactics
Often Flip-flops

Cambridge, Mass. (LPA)-Com-
munist bargaining tactics are as
shifty as the comrades themselves,
scholarly document read here at
Harvard seminar this week re-
vealed.
Tracing Communist policies in
industrial relations from the
Party's beginnings to the present
day, the paper, careful study by
Nat Goldfnger of United Paper
workers and Albert Epstein of Int'l
Association of Machinists, showed
that in the 30 years of the CPS
existence, it has used almost every
conceivable collective bargaining
tactic-from advocating class war
fare to opposing all strikes.
Their tactics are determined dir
ectly by Soviet foreign policy and
brought into trade unions by party
cells, the researchers found. They
used numerous cases to back up
their conclusions, among then the
New York Cloakmakers strike of
1926, the Gastonia textile strike of
1929, the North American aviation
strike of 1941 and recent flip-flops
on strikes, incentive wage plans
and labor-management coopera-
ton.

Boost Is Ordered
In Hospital Fees

The Budget Bureau this weel
ordered Army and Navy hospitals
to charge top government officials
and members of Congress $11.75 &
day after next January l, II pei
cent increase over the present
$10.50 a day.
What that means is: When q
senator, congressman or one of the
highest civilian government chiefs
is sick, $11.75 a day in a military
hospital will buy him not only
room and board, but also medical
care, surgical operations, labora-
tory tests, X-rays, and anything
else he needs.
The ordinary citizen pays that
much for hospital room and board
alone, plus hundreds or thousands
of dollars for doctors and surg
cons fees and other services.
Any member of Congress who
takes advantage of this bargain,
but opposes proposals to bring
medical and hospital care down
within reach of the ordinary citi-
zen, is certainly inconsistent.

MonopoIists Use
Sanitary Codes To
Hush Competition

Washington (LPA) - Many city
sanitary codes covering milk dis.
tribution are simply "trade bar.
riers to prevent any possible inter
play of competition" between milk
companies in the immediate vicin.
ity, and other dairy outfits further
away.
That was the contention of Paul
Hadlick, counsel for a Senate sub
committee investigating the spread
between the prices farmers receive
for their products, and the prices
the city consumers pay. Hadlick
and Sen. Guy Gillette Cd, Iowa.,
committee chairman, expressed i'm
patience at the slowness of the
Agriculture Dept in preparing a
model sanitary code which might
be recommended as a national, uni
form standard. Congress authoriz-
ed preparation of the code in 1916.
The committee officials question
ed dairy marketing experts of
Agriculture Dept about the pos
sibility of preparing a "model law"
for the District Of Columbia which
would protect consumers, but not
keep competition out of the milk
shed. An antitrust suit is pending
against the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association, charg-
ing them with conspiracy to keep
rival producers out of the nations
capital.
