Tobin Adopts New
Iron, Steel Rates

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secre.
tary of Labor Maurice j. Tobir
announced adoption, to take eff.
feet Aug. 27, of new minimum
wage rates under the Walsh.
Healey Public Contracts Act or
production and furnishing of ba-
sic iron and steel products in
amounts of more than $4,000
under contracts let by the Gov
ernment.
The new rates establish a
minimum wage of $1.23 an hour
in the North East, Mountain,
and Pacific Coast States; S1.19
in the seven Midwestern States
west of the Mississippi River,
plus the community of East st.
Louis, ILL.,; and $1.0812 cents an
hour in the Southern States.
The new rates replace rates
ranging from As cents to 6212
cents an hour, by localities, in
effect since Jan. 16, 1882 The
industry employs approximately
900, 900 wage earners.
Secretary Tobin's action is
based on study of the record of
public hearing conducted Feb.
% to 25 by the Wage and Hour
and Public Contracts Divisions
of the Department of Labor. The
hearing was held on the petition
of the United Steelworkers of
America (CIO),

Corporation Lawyers
Spill The Beans On
ShackIes For Labor

WASHINGTON (LPA) = A
first-hand glimpse of the kind of
strait-jacket some of America S
big employers would like to
fashion for the labor movement
was given during the past week
at hearings before Senate SUBJ
committee.
Corporation attorneys march
ed before the hearings, played
the bogey of labor monopolies"
and Tabor frankensteins" for
all it was worth, and then came
forward with their prescriptions
of what to do about it.
The Taft-Hartley Act is just a
starter, it was made clear in the
testimony of two of the witnesses
= Theodore r. Iserman, MEM
Der of a big New York law
firm, and George B. Christensen,
who halls from a large Chicago
legal mill. -
Iserman is counsel for Chrys-
Ter Motors, among other corpo-
rations, and he helped draft the
Hartley version of the TIL Act
back in 1947. Among Christen-
sons clients was George P. Nc
Near, the anti-labor operator of
the Toledo, Peoria & Western
Railroad, who was murdered as
a climax of a war against the
rail unions on his property.
Christensen's formula for
dealing with "big labor" was
the most sweeping. He proposed
outlawing of all forms of the un-
ion shop; repeal of the Norris
La Guardia Anti-Injunction Act;
extension of the Sherman anti
trust act to organized workers;
shattering of big unions into
small ones, and a ban on "com-
binations of labor in restraint of
trade" so broad as to make al
most any effective labor activity
a crime.
Christensen lamented that
private employers in big indus
tries, such as the mines and
mo longer have any
real bargaining power" because
gigantic combines of labor drive
them to the wall"
Iserman came up with a some
what different formula. He
would extend antitrust laws to
labor, forbid induStry-wide bar
gaining, prohibit national unions
from compelling local affiliates
to go along with any specific
wage policy, and place a batch
of other restrictions on union
long regarded as legi-

Union Wines Up
Case For Steel
WAGES. Insurance

NEW YORK (LPA) - The
Steel industry is going to "sweat
it OUT before President Tru-
mans three man fact-finding
board here this week, as it opens
its argument against granting
the pension, insurance and pay
demands already put forward by
the United Steelworkers-CIO.
Close to million workers in
the industry will be watching to
see how the steel industry can
try to duck the facts and figures
brought before the fact-finders
for a week by experts working
for the union.
While the fact-finders will
present their report near the end
of this smonth, the union and
the steel companies will have
another Is days to hammer out
an agreement - or to shut down
the industry thru a strike.
Here are some of the facts
that the steel barons have to
overcome:
Murray Lattimer, one of
the nations experts on pension
plans, conducted a survey of
widows of employees of four of
the biggest steel corporations.
These women, al of whose hus-
bands have died in the past two
years, received insurance av-
eraging from $1784 for Bethle-
hem Steel to $3525 for U. S.
Steel. Instead, Lattimer said,
they should have had $500 to
$6815.
The effect of thees pitifully
low funds for widows is shown,
Lattimer said, by the fact that
out of 1000 women sought. the
researchers could only find a
few more than 400. The rest had
disappeared which probably
the disintegration and
breaking-up of the family units
when the bread-winner dies.
3-Families would be in better
financial shape, Lattimer show
ed, if they had medical care
and disability insurance to keep
them from piling up debts.
4Economist Robert R. Ma
than showed that on the basis of
June, 1949 material costs and
steel prices. the industry could
make a profit equal to that of
the first three months of 1949 by
operating at 500 of capacity.
Even in the past few weeks when
production hit a low point and
started to rise, the industry has
operated at about 800 of capa-
city.

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Sec
retary of Labor Maurice j. To-
bin has announced that effective

employees engaged in the manu-
facture or supply of products

ter into a contract with the

Tobin made the announcement
in adoption of an amendment to

determination for the Flint

based on the record of a public
hearing held last February 8 to

can Flint Glass Workers Union

had requested that the Secretary
establish a new rate of at least
80 cents an hour.
In addition to increasing the
new minimum wage finding over
the 1888 level of 4212 cents an
hour, the amendment also estab-
fishes a subminimum rate of
78 p cents an hour for beginners
under prescribed conditions.
The revised determination also
changes the industry designation
from Flint Glass Industry" to
Pressed and Blown Glass and
Glassware Industry"
1t is estimated that some 36,-
700 employees are engaged in
the pressed and Blown Glass
and Glassware Industry" as de-
fined in the prevailing minimum
wage determination.

the two trustees had con-
sistently supported DR.. Fred
eric Howard, hospital super
intendent, in his "free-wheeling
suspensions of nurses and nurses
aids" He also declared that
"Howard's dynaflow anti-labor
attitude was inimical to the best
interests of the institution"
"Dr. Sloan," Cation continued,
"has already admitted to me that
Dr. Howard is a neurotic and
that his attitude is definitely
anti-labor.
Both hospital trustees now
are serving without an appoint
ment. Their terms expired sew
eral months ago.
Part of the CLU's demands
upon the County Commissioners
Mig the reinstatement of all sus-
Sz5ended employees with back pay
This, Mr.. Cation contends, is
necessary because they were
suspended without proper hear
ings or reasons being given and
in direct violation of the intent
of the State civil service laws.
Mr.. Cation referred to a recent
star chamber meeting between
90 complaining Roche Hospital
patients, nurses and employees
and the County Commissioners
Commissioner Hilty stated at
that time that the whole matter
could have been settled with
out union Intervention.
This is untrue as both the hos
pital trustees and the County
commissioners knew of condi-

tions at Roche Hospital long be-
fore we entered the picture.
How long can an appointed
board of county officials namely
the Board of Trustees refuse to
recognize the intolerable condi-
tionS that have existed in Will
liam Roche Hospital since the
arrival of DR.. Howard as super
intendent?" How long," he con-
tinued, will the public tamely
submit to the buck-passing, half
truth explanations and actual
ignoring of its demands for an
open hearing by this group?"
Public Hearing Planned
Plans for a public hearing on
the lawn of the Lucas County
courthouse already have been
approved by CLU executives.
This meeting will be held
within a few days." Mr.. Cation
says, ''if the three County Com
Hilty, Sanzenbacher
and Mohn do no act immediate
ly to clear the situation, which
has brought William Roche Hos
pital into undeserved disrepute
throughout Ohio"
DR.. w. B. Sloan, acting chair
man of the hospital board of
trustees, was quoted in Tues
days press as knowing nothing"
about any August Is deadline
set by the County Commission
ers for cleaning up the Roche
Hospital situation.
He added he had nothing to
say" about the matter.

June Strikes Decline,
IdIeness Increases

WASHINGTON, D. c. = New
strikes in June declined to 375
from the May high of 450. ac-
cording to estimates released
here by the U. S. Department of
Labor's Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics. However, the idleness re-
sulting from work stoppages
rose to 100000 man-days in
June = the largest work loss in
any one month for over a year.
The increase in idleness was
due principally to the 1-week
"stabilizing" stoppage of over
10000 workers throughout the
coal-mining industry June 1920,
as well as several other stop
pages involving up to 10000
workers eaeh.
