2,407 Pints Of Blood
Given by Ten Persons
To Red Cross Center

Attending yesterdays sixth Red
Cross report luncheon were 10
persons who are responsible for
2,407 pints of blood in the Fed
Cross Blood Center.
Six of the donors personally
gave a total Of 95 pints, while the
other four recruited 1912 persons
who donated a pint each.
Typical of most of the donors
who started giving blood during
the last war are Mr.. and Mrs
Vincent S. Peck.
Mrs. Peck made her first dona-
ton in March. 1943, and her hus-
band began a week later.
TITS no discomfort" Mrs. Peck
said, "at first I thought it would
be as bad as a major operation
but it was so easy we both started
giving regularly"
Mr.. and Mrs. Peck have donated
one pint apiece every eight weeks
and between them have given Sc
pints-seven gallons.
They're going to keep right on
giving until they reach the age
of so. He is 81 and his wife
is 48.
Leonard Garraway, another
guest at the luncheon has given
% pints to the blood bank. He

Under Glaciers Start
Enormous Floods
By Thomos R. Henry
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (by air.
maiD Iceland is like a sputter-
ing tea kettle.
Under its interior glaciers are
active volcanoes Of whose erup-
tions there can be no warning and
which, by melting the ice, cause
enormous floods to sweep over the
habitable coastline. Some OF them
seem to have the habit Of eruptine
about every 10 years.
In addition Is the constant
menace Of smoking Mount Hekla
which pours out great rivers OF
lava about once a century. The
island Is a young land in the proc
ess Of being built-thus presenting
a fair picture Of what much Of the
earth may have been like millions
of years ago.
The various volcanic phenomena
now are being subjected to in
tensive study by experts Of the
University Of Reykjavik, using
some of the latest tools Of scient-
lists. With war-developed helmets
and gas masks, for example. they
are able to have themselves low
cred by ropes during the COM
pletely undependable three-hour
intervals between outbursts during
an eruption and collect samples of
gases.
This has been the particular job
of DR.. Sigurdur ThorarinSson, di-
rector of the departments Of geol-
ogy and geography Of Reykjavik's s
Museum of Natural History. Ad-
vances have been made also with
improved methods of photography
These latter are giving a new con-
cept of the force of a volcanic ex-
plosion. DR.. Thorarinsson says,
They show that during Hekla's s
last major eruption the winter be-
fore last ashes were thrown slight
ly more than 20 miles into the air.

"The strike against the Chicago

for 95 years produced their papers.

Chicago Typos Reject Publishers Offer;
|caII Proposed Pact Yellow Dog Contract

Chicago Members of Chicago
Typographical Union, Local 16,
voted 1886 to 90 to reject the con-
tract proposed by the Chicago
Newspaper Publishers Association
to end the historic strike at Chic
ago's 5 major dailies.
The strike has been in progress
since November "a, 1947. The pub
lishers' latest proposal, offered on
March 10, provided for a $40 week
ly wage raise. The union previous
ly had obtained a $3.50 raise from
the Hammond, Ind, Times.
Rejection of the proposal was
recommended by the unions news
paper scale committee. The execu-
tive council of the International
Typographical Union, parent af-
filate, also informed the local mem
bership that some provisions in the
contract proposal did not conform
to ITU laws.
After the referendum, by secret
ballot, John ]. Pilch, president of
Local 16, issued the following
statement:
"In upholding their local scale
committee and the executive coun-
ell of the ITU, the members of the
Chicago union gave rousing evid-
ence of their loyalty to the laws
which they have adopted by their
own votes, expressed by referen-
dunn and by annual conventions to
which they elect delegates from
among their fellow craftsmen.
''The contract rendered US by the
Chicago Newspaper Publishers As
sociation was greatly inferior, as
regards security and working con-
ditions, to the contract our local
entered into in January with the
Hammond (Ind.) Times.
Furthermore, the contract of
fered us by the Chicago news
papers would have given our Chic
ago members a wage scale consid
erably below what is being paid to
our men in Hammond.

AFL And CIO Pledge To
Work For New World
Free Labor Federation

Washington (LPA)-ln discuss
ions with visiting leaders of th'
British Trades Union Congress las
week both the AFL and CIO pledg
ed themselves to work for tbs
early establishment of new demo
cratic trade union internationa
federation.
AS representatives of the three
strongest union movements in the
world surveyed the problems OF
creating a new international or.
ganization, it was clear that al
least several more months of eX.
ploration will be necessary before
the free trade union federation vii
become a reality.
In a policy statement the AFL';
Int'l Labor Relations Committee
warned that the World Federation
of Trade Unions is now playing g
"brazen and active role" in furth-
ering Soviet aims. A democratic
counterweight to this WFTU pro
paganda is of the utmost import
ance, the AFL statement declared
But, it pointed out: ave do moi
fail to recognize that clarifcation
adjustment and agreement on &
number of important organization
problems-like multiple affiliatior
in any one country on the basis OF
their actual membership-will have
to be attained before there can be
formal launching of the new demo
cratic world body of labor"
The AFL is proposing the imme-
diate establishment of represent
ative committee of US, European
and Latin American unionists tc
iron out these problems. Unions in
all countries, regardless Of their
size, must be consulted the AFL
insists.
Speaking at a dinner given by
the AFL, CIO and Railway Labor
Executives Assn for the members
of the Anglo-American Produc-
tivity Council, President Philip
Murray stated:
"The CIO stands ready to parti-
cipate wholeheartedly with the free
and democratic trade unions of
other countries, big and small, in
a new organization which will give
inspiration and leadership to the
millions of trade unionists here
and abroad who subscribe to our
common heritage Of freedom and
democracy. We can and will create
this great body to stand as a sym
boil for and to represent real trade
union principles in the councils of
the world"
The problems of combining sep
arate union federations in various
countries into a common interna-
tional organization is not unique

Public Housing
Bills Reach
Senate Floor

Wa h ington LPA)-Public
h ousi ing legislation eargerly
awaited by nearly every industrial
city in the US-seemed a little
nearer passage this week. The
House Banking Committee opened
hearings this week on public hous-
ing proposals, and the Senate pre-
pared to debate and pass-as it has
in previous sessions-a bill auth
orizing construction of $4,000
units in six years.
Both in the Senate and House,
die-hard opponents of the measures
will fight hard, but eventually pas
sage is expected. Senate opponents
will try to cut down on the number
of houses which can be built for
low-income families by locally con-
trolled housing authorities.
Meanwhile, the Natl Association
of Real Estate Boards continued
is attacks on public housing. "The
ballyhoo by the government for
public housing" according to an
expensively-printed NAREB leaf
ct, "is an excellent example of the
confusion and double talk for
which Washington is so famous" :"
The real estate lobby claims that
the public housing program will
raise costs by putting the govern
ment into housing" in competition
with private builders. They ignore
he fact that the local housing
authorities will contract with priv
ate construction companies to do
the actual building.

Rail Managements
Stall By Avoiding
Bargaining Talks

Washington LPA) - A new
strike threat has been popping uE
on the railroads every week, par.
ticular among the operating
crafts-those in the train, engine
and yard service.
Why? Two heads of Railroad
Brotherhoods = President ID. b
Robertson of the Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen and President
H. w. Fraser of the Railway Con
ductors = gave an Illuminating
answer this week.
One of the major reasons, sale
Robertson, is refusal of many rail
road arrangements to settle long
accumulated grievances over The
bargaining table.
Instead, tn ese arrangements
Robertson said, are trying to force
the unions to take the grievanc,
cases to the National Railroad Ad
justment Board, which operates
as sort of supreme court" tt
pass OH grievances or disputes ovel
agreement interpretations which
cannot be adjusted on the individ
ual railroads.
The first division of that boarC
deals with such controversies il
the operating" crafts. However
that board is buried under a four
year jam of cases, caused largely
by stalling tactics of the manage
ment members of the first division
Robertson declared.
He warned that this logjam OF
the board and on various railroad:
must be solved if strife is to bt
averted.
"Unless a new program which
functions efficiently is adopted th'
prospect for peaceful relations OIL
the rails is going to be wrecked,
he said.
1.-THE long patience of railroad
workers is neared a frayed end
From the settlement of disputes by
labor and management across the
table, the trend for years has beer
toward technicalities and legalistit
involvement.
"This increased use of lawyer!
is dangerous. Labor relations are 6
work-a-day thing. The i'-dotter.
and comma-chasers have little tt
contribute toward our mutual un
derstanding. Rather they tangle u;
in yards of red tape. A satisfac-
tory change must be made if 4
complete breakdown is to be pre-
vented"
Fraser likewise assailed the re-
fusal of hard-boiled arrangements
to settle grievances promptly
across the conference table. Toe
many of them, he said, are trying
to shift the cases to the over-bur-
dened Adjustment Board, (which
would mean there would be no
action on our new cases for four
years or more"
"Well, our people won't stand fol
such delay" Fraser declared. "They
want these disputes disposed OF
over the negotiating table. The at
titude of the managements is fore
ing them to take strike votes"
