SENATE PASSES TWO MEASURES
 THIS MORNING

Tn a short forenoon session to- day, the Senate received one bill and two memorials, passed a bill and one of the new memorials. heard several committee reports and adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday morning. Although this is a Territorial holiday, several Sen ate committees were holding meet ings.
 A Transportation c om m t e e memorial seeking a survey for a road from Fairbanks to Nenana was introduced and passed unanimously this morning. Senator Frank Barr. chairman of the Transportation Committee, told his colleagues that this would be one more valuable link in the highway system of the Interior.
 Also passed this morning was S.B. 19 which will permit the Board of Education to authorize the trans fer of monies from one fund to another within the overall appro- priation for the support of schools.
 This will allow the Education Department to adjust it's funds so that there will be fewer deficits and unexpended balances at the end of the bienn.um, senator John Butroyich pointed out. One fund presently has deficit of s40,000 while another has a surplus of $60,000, he said, and provision of the bill would o5yiate the necessity of a deficiency appropriation for the fund that is short.
 HOLLIS-KLAWOCK ROAD
 A memorial introduced by sena- tors Pcratrovich and Mackenzie seeks the construction of road from Hollis to Klawock on Prince of Wales Island to eliminate the necessity for a long coat trip around the island to reach the west coast and to help develop the area.
 Senator Steve McCutcheon in- troduced a b,ll to levy a tax of three cents each on the standard package of cigarettes Other forms of tobacco are not taxed under the provisions of this bill.
 An exchange of letters between Senator Butroyich. chairman of the Finance Committee, and Gov. Gruening was read and ordered spread upon the Senate Journal. Senator Butrovich, acting for his committee, inquired why an audit of Territorial books had not been made in conformity with an Act passed by the l947 Legislature
 Lack of funds was the reason given by the Governor, who said that the financial condition of the Territory is now such that it is hoped an audit can be started within the near future.

FitzgeraId's Local
To File tn Non
Communist 0aths

Boston (LPA)-After a heated
debate last week, the executive
committee of Local POI of the
United Electrical, Radio and Ma
chine Workers in Lynn, Mass.
voted to urge all officers to sign
the Taft-Hartley non-Communisf
affidavits.
Victor in the tussle was Local
201's business agent Fred Kelley,
and the yanquished was UE Pres
ident Albert Fitzgerald, a member
of the Lynn local.
Fitzgerald, who was present at
the meeting declared that he would
never sign the affidavit.
Kelley, who led the fight for the
anti Communist resolution, charged
that the CP is trying to split the
union. He cited attacks that have
been made on him and other non
OP UE leaders in the Communist
publication the Lynn Worker.

its Macon plant too, Bibb fired pro-
union workers, and instructed its
foremen to supplement "The Trum-
pets" barrage with direct intim-
idation of workers - threatening
them with the loss of their jobs,
land promising higher wages if
unions was kept out of the south.
Both in "The Trumpet" and in
Bibb's own outpourings attempts
were made to create ill-will be-
tween white and colored employees.
White workers were fed the old
line that unions encourage "inter-
marriage"
In his report of the case NLRB
Trial Examiner Thomas Wilson
characterized "The Trumpet" as
"illiterate, often unintelligible, i'll
informed, if not deliberately disin-
formed and dishonest"
The NLRB has ordered Bibb to
stop interfering with the organiza-
ttion of its workers, rehire the vic
tins of discriminatory firings, and
to stop circulating "The Trumpet"
and improperly using the Porter
dale police.

AFL Makes Stand
For Best Possible
Rent Control Law

Washington (LPA)-AFL Pres
ident William Green has written to
Senate and House Banking Com
mittee chairmen, expressing the
deep disappointment" of the Fed
Grafton with the rent control bills
which the two houses of Congress
have produced.
He urged the two-Sen. Burnet
Maybank Cd, Sc and Rep. Brent
Spence CD, Ky.)-to "work for a
bill in conference which will assure
the people of this country the most
effective rent control program pos
sible."
Here are the preferences of the
AFL between the House and Sen
ate versions:
Local Option-the Senate bill,
because it requires the approval of
the governor for decontrol of local
areas.
2-Duration of control = the
House bill for a straight 15-month
period.
3-Automatic Rent Increases
compared with Reasonable Rate of
Return-"as a choice between
evils, the Senate bill with auto
matte increases is preferable to the
House bill with guaranteed return
to landlords"
4-Right of tenants to appeal
Every important that this provis-
ion in the Senate bill be included
in law.
5-New definition of rent-the
Senate provision is Essential to
stop understandable leasing ar
rangements."
6-Trailers and units vacant for
24-month period-"House provis-
ions, which recontrol these units
without qualification, are prefer
able"
Apartment hotels - Senate
provision recontrolling permanent
units in cities of over 100000
population is essential"
8-Recontrol of permanent ac-
commodations in tourist homes
Senate provision should be includ
ed.
9-Permissive recontrol of per-
manent accommodations in motor
courts" Senate provision inadequ-
ate, but preferable to complete
neglect of this problem"
10-Decontrol of luxury apart
ments-"Scnate provision unneces-
sary and dangerous"

lam Nearer Goal
Of Airline Pact

Washington (LPA) - Important
new strides were made by the IntSl
Association of Machinists during
the past week toward the unions
goal of a uniform master contract
on the major airlines.
In negotiations completed with
three big lines-Eastern, United,
and Transcontinental & Western
the lam secured approximately
identical pay rates for the same
job classifcations and d common
wage reopening date of Jan. 1,
1850. A similar agreement was pre-
viously signed with Northwest Air
lines.
Under the agreements, the 5000
employees involved win gains in
wages and fringe issues of from
5 to 15c an hour in all classified
tions.
Typical rates now are: $1S8 an
hour for mechanics; $2.03 and $2.04
for inspectors and lead mechanics;
$1.60 to $1.64 for lead stock clerks
and $1.15 and $1.16 for ship clean
ers.
Among "fringe" onditions
established by the contracts are:
seven annual paid holidays, two
weeks vacation after one years
service, paid sick leave, and longe-
witty pay.

1949 :Sofe+y PIuns
(Continned From Page One)

of the United Auto Workers-CIO
and President Joseph Moreschi o.
the Hod Carriers-AFL.
President Truman and Labol
Secretary Tobin both appeared t.
assure the delegates that they
would have complete cooperation
of the federal government in then
effort to improve current safety
measures.
Keynoting the discussion Of what
the states can do, Gov. John Past
ore of Rhode Island urged that
state regulatory agencies be given
the power to set up new safety
regulations. New industrial pro
cesses are developed too quickly to
leave this power to state legisla-
lures, he pointed out, since they
often meet only every other year.
"The best answer to reaching the
small employer is found in state
safety inspection services on per-
sonalized basis" Pastore added, al
though "the chief drawbacks are
inadequate personnel, complacency
with standards of professional
competency, and lack of accident
data to show where the services
are most needed"
The committee on research,
whose vice-chairman was Sol Bark
in of the Textile Workers, gave
special attention to "human fac
tors" in industrial accidents. 1t
presented thoro summary of the
work already done in this field,
ranging from what is known about
the effects of vibration from sur
rounding machinery to the ques-
tion of whether older workers are
more prone to have accidents. The
committee asked for time and
funds to continue its work.
If what is already known-and
often hidden away in scientific and
technical papers was applied,
much could be done right now to
prevent accidents, the committee
said. They urged that more re-
search be done "on man, and how
to integrate his physical and men
tai qualities and performance with
the design of the machine, process,
and environment with
which he is associated.
