Duffy, SIaven And
Dales Present Al
L. u. 124 Meeting

The attendance at the meeting
Of Local Union 124 Tuesday even
ing left little doubt but what fu-
ture meetings will have to be held
in the auditorium at headquarters
to accommodate the crowd.
AS President Ed. Curry called
the meeting to order, every chair
in the spacious hall was occupied
and the few late comers were
forced to stand. This is as it should
be for when members show a keen
interest in the affairs Of their local
union then forward progress will
be made and benefits derived by all.
An appeal from the National
Farm Labor Union for financial
assistance in their fight to main
tain decent wages in the California
cotton fields, met with favorable
response and the Local ordered a
$1,000 contribution be made to this
worthy cause. President Green of
the AFL has endorsed the stand
taken by the strikers.
Shop committee reports indicat-
ed all committees are on their toes
and ready to meet any emergency
that may arise. President Curry
called attention to the Importance
Of all settlements made by shop
committees be filed with the sec
retary of the local.
President Duffy and vice pres
idents James Slaven and Frank
Dales attended the meeting and
made short talks. An invitation
had been extended the Brotherhood
chief by action at previous
meeting and although we know he
is busy man we were glad he
could arrange his schedule to be
present. His talk was very inter-
esting and cleared up many false
rumors reported pertaining to con-
troversial issues at hand.
Brothers Dales and Slaven also
made short talks. -O.C. 124

Cotton Pickers' Strike On The West
Coast Menaced By imported Workers

! Washington (LPA)-What may
become the biggest walkout OF
agricui- -ural workers this country
ever has seen is mushrooming
thru the otton fields of Cali
fornia's central valley, H. L. Nit
chell, president of the Natl Farm
Labor Union-AFL, announced from
the unions office here.
Upwards of $4,000 cotton pick
ers, some so to 90 percent of the
total work force, already have
joined the strike under union lead
ership, Mitchell said, and the num-
Der is still growing.
The strike began on Sept. II in
protest against the proposal by the
San Joaquin Valley Labor Bureau
late in August to set the pay for
picking cotton at $3.50 hundred
pounds, so cents to a dollar under
the 1948 rate. The San Joaquin
Valley Labor Bureau, an arm of
California's notorious Associated
Farmers, refused to take seriously
a petition presented by a workers
delegation demanding $500 a hun
dred pounds. The petition was
signed by 10000 field laborers.
Despite the threat that cheap
Mexican labor may be brought in
under a recently concluded Mexi-
can-US agreement, the union is
pushing the strike resolutely, Nit
chell said. A number of small
farmers, badly pinched by the
strike, have already agreed to the
unions pay demand.

Cunudu's Labor
Congress ExpeIs
Connie Sailors

Calgary, Alberta (LPA)-By q
smashing 702 to II vote delegates
to the convention of Canada'S
Trades & Labor Congress vote to
expel the Communicated Canadian
Seamen's Union, as expected.
Before the expulsion vote, the
convention approved the action OF
the TICS executive committee
which suspended the CSU last
summer.
The CSU's expulsion is a direct
result of the messy worldwide
strike the CSU attempted last
spring after turning down an
agreement with shipowners of
eastern Canada which was approx
ed by the CSU member of a gov
ernment-sponsored m dia t o n
board. The attempted strike was
generally viewed as a disruptive
Communist maneuver.
Frank Hall, Canadian vice-pres-
ident of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Clerks-AFL, told the conven-
tion "The CSU is under the COM
plete domination of the Communist
party of Canada, and the Commun-
ist party Of Canada is under the
complete domination of Russian
Imperialism" Hall has long been
vigorous foe of Communists who
have infiltrated Canadian unions.
A spokesman for the Seafarers
Intl Union-AFL, which obtained
the ships formerly sailed by the
CSU, said his organization would
not seek membership in the TIC
at this time.
The convention passed resolu-
tions calling for a minimum wage
of rs cents an hour and for 40
hour week with no reduction in
take-home pay.

DevuIuufion of The British Pound
Serious Blow To American Poffers

for many years, with consequent
losses of sales and jobs for Ameri-
can potters.
"Devaluation simply means to
our industry" he continued, "that
there will be more British and less
American dinnerware sold in this
country, despite the leadership in
quality, design and patterns achiev-
ed by this important American in
dustry in recent years"
Mr.. Wells said that the indus
try cannot even think about price
cuts to meet the flood of more
made foreign ware, be-
cause the wages of the American
potters now are ap-
proximately 65 per cent of total
manufacturing costs.

Steady Work For
Employees At
ScammeII China

Trenton, n. 1.-THE members of
Local Union 80 are glad to report
to the trade that we are now get
ting steady employment and some
department are working overtime.
We have every reason to believe
the present trend will continue.
We had a very fine attendance
at both meetings in September. At
our last meeting President Joseph
Brown and one other delegate to
the wage parley gave a very sat
isfactory and comprehensive re-
port of the wage conference which
was accepted with a rising vote of
thanks.
While the writer does not intend
to know the answer for settling all
the labor disputes in the country
today, the thought comes in mind
of the peaceful relationship which
exists in our industry between the
employees and their employers,
contrast to the strike threat in
other industries while bargaining
for a new contract.
We should be thankful for this
relationship and sing the praises
of the collective bargaining rela-
tionship between the U.S.P.A. and
the n. B. of o. P.
President Joseph Brown left this
week to attend the AT. of L. con-
vention in st. Paul. We hope he
gets a great deal out of it besides
having a good time as we know he
has worked hard and long this past
summer for the benefit Of Local
35. -O.C. 35

Tips For Mattresses
Gifts And Not Wages

Duluth, MINI. (LPA)-Tips left
for the waitress are not wages
Minnesota restaurant employees
say.
Representatives of restaurant
unions pointed out that tips are
not included in computing social
security or unemployment benefits
Tips are gifts, they argued, and as
such are exempt from federal in
come taxes if they total less than
$4,000 year.
The union took the stand after
they heard that federal treasury
agents were asking back income
taxes from mattresses for unre-
ported income from tips. In the
case of a waitress in Duluth tap
room, the government claimed $500
back taxes plus 6 percent interest.

Chicago Landlords
Get The Bad News

Chicago (LPA) - This will be
one of the last cities in the nation
in which rented dwellings will be
decontrolled, Housing Expeditor
Tighe Woods told the Illinois
Assn Of Real Estate Boards here,
unless you drastically step up
your rate of new construction.
Woods noted that the federal
law allows him to decontrol areas
where the demand for rental hous-
ing has been reasonably met. "To
get specific and talk about Chic
ago." he added, "if you had 1000
one-bedroom apartments vacant
for rentals at $75 and up, we would
not consider Chicago as being
ready for decontrol If you had the
same number of vacancies and the
rents ranged from $50 to $50 per
for the same size unit, we
would consider it very seriously"
eff a case is doubtful" Woods
told the realtors, sit is my policy
to resolve the matter in favor of
decontrol. | don't mind admit
ing | think it is a shame that rent
control is still necessary four years
after the end of the war, but it is
necessary today and will be neces-
sary until you in private industry
and we in government do some
thing for the great bulk of Ameri-
can people who can afford to pay
no more than $40 to $50 per month
for shelter"

fense rental area" The one mo"
vote was cast by a vice-president
of Denver's largest real estate
firm. Heading the Denver Tenants
Association, united labor group op-
posing decontrol, is Frank G. Van
Portfliet, secretary-treasurer of the

 Discovery
 In Areiit
Stone Tools found = May Indicate Indians ArTiv-
 ed by Way of Boring

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept! l.--' Pl-Discovery of stonetools in an earth stratum pre-dating any known Eskimo culture is reported by Prof. J. L. Giddings, Jr., Uni versity of Alaska .ncnropologist.
 Giddings would hazard no esti- mate of the age of his discovery, but said it bolstered the story that the American Indian came to this continent by way of the Boring Sea region
 The professor disclosed the dis covery to pr. Ferris Moore, Uni versity president, upon his return from this seasons excavations in the Cape Denbigh area on Norton Sound along the Boring Strait.
 He said he found Folsom point and Yuma point along with microlithic stone tools. (A Folsom point is a stone or blade charac- terized by deep grooves or fluting On both sides; a Yuma point is similar blade about an inch and a half long).
 Some of the microliths (stone tools) found," Professor Giddings said, "are in forms of finished blades or points of unique work manship with more than 20 flaking scars to the inch.
 "A number of flake knives of a type hitherto unknown in America, but common in early European and Asiatic sites, were also discovered" :"
 Folsom points, according to au- thorities, have been discovered over most parts of the United States, in some cases associated with skeletal remains of now extinct animals. Their age has been estimated to range from COCO to more than 15,0OO years
 pr. Giddings said neither the Yuma point, nor the Folsom, have been found in the old world.
 The stratum containing the pre- historic tools was covered with two more Eskimo culture phases, Gid- dings said, but separated from them by layer of sterile clay.
 The Cape Denbigh investigations have been carried out for the last two years under the joint sponsor ship of the University, the Arctic Institute of North America and the Office of Naval Research. Cid dings has been assisted by univer- sity students and Eskimos from the village of Shaktoolik on Norton Sound.
