Too Mony
Pupils Quit

ALBANY, NY. UPA)-Con-
cerned because nearly half the
pupils who enter high school
quit before graduating, the NY
State Education Dept. has ap-
pointed a citizens council of 10
to advise on readjusting the pro-
gram to the needs of the stu
dents. Representing labor on the
council are Harold c. Hanover,
secretary-treasurer of the State
Federation of labor, and Louis
Hollander, president, State CIO
Council.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1949-12-02

by CIO S ere y-Treasurer
James B. Carey. administrative
chairman of the organization.
Carey said the union will seek
contracts including $100 retire
ment pensions not tied to feder-
al social security. He also stress
ed the fact that wages in the
electrical industry are lower
than the average hourly produc-
ton wage of 81 .481 and the new
union in bargaining will seek to
wipe out that inequity.
New Charter
-IUE was chartered at the CIO
convention in Cleveland last
month, after the old UE was ex-
PEELED for following the Com
munist Party line and letting its
politics interfere with its effect
iiveneSs as a trade union.
Addressing the IUE conven-
tion at its opening session, CIO
President Philip Murray pinned
down the issue as purely and
tunadulteratedIy Comnunisms. ]"
Referring to the old UE leaders
as trade union parasites" Muir
ray gave his wholehearted sup
port to the new group.
Reminding his listeners of the
days when Communists ruled
IUE as a "police state" the CIO
leader declared: THAT day is
gone, not only for the UE but
for many other unions presently
affiliated with the CIO (but not
for too long,. So far as I'm con-
cerned those boys are through"
Going To Win
Murray told the delegates that
they are going to win" and
much sooner than you original
ly thought" The 100000 men,
bers represented at the conven-
tion make up more than half the
membership of the old UE.
President Truman, in a mes
sage to the convention, wished
the new organization every sue
cess. "The policies adopted at
this convention" he said, "can
afford workers in the industry
full and free opportunity to
build for themselves bargain
ing agency representative of
their hopes and aspirations as
American citizens" A good luck
message was also received from
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
Praise for Carey, as Temporal
ry head of the organization, was
offered by both Murray and Sen.
Francis j. Meyers, anot h er
speaker at the opening session.
Said Murray: Jimmy Carey is
possessed of all the qualifica-
tions essential to the perform
ance of this organizational task
which you have assumed"
Permanent officers for the
new union will not be elected at
this convention. They will prob
ably be chosen in referendum
or special convention this spring,
Probable candidate for the top
post are Carey and Frederick B.
Kelley, union business agent
who ran against UE President
Albert Fitzgerald at the last UE
convention.

JAW Wins In
Harvester
Ieetion

In a -CIO invention r
drive to unite all agricultural

CIO last week won an NLRE
election in the Louisville, Ken
lucky plant of the Internationa.
Harvester Corporation. The vote
was UAW 554, AFL 383. There
were 36 void or challenged bal.
lots. The Farm Equipment anc

by the CIO conventi I, had rur

A collapse of the former FF
organization was predicted by
the UAW-CIO leaders as work.
ers in plants represented by for
mer FE local unions all over the
country were taking action tc
affiliate with the UAW.
In Chicago, the Tractor Works
of International Harvester Cor
poration, formerly represented
by FE Local 101, voted by 20 to
/ to affiliate with the UAW. The
Tractor employs more than 1000
people
At the West Pullman Works
of international Harvester Cor
poration, membership meeting
voted to direct its xe ecutiv c
board to seek an NLRB election
NLRB hearings were held this
week at both Chicago plants
The UAW and the company
agreed TO hold consent elections
but the FE refused.
The center of FE's strength
was in the International Har-
veSter chain, where it had more
than rs per cent of its total
membership. The UAW already
represented 10000 of IHC's EN-,
ployees. FE had represented ap.
proximately $4,000.
So far, reports received by
UAW Vice President John w
Livingston, director of the Agri,
cultural Implement Workers de
partment show what about 81
per cent of the FEs estimated
$4,000 members have already
acted to leave FE and affiliate
with the UAW.

ii Vets
Can Further
Education

Nearly half a million World
War II veterans who did not
complete grade school before the
war have been given the chance
to further their e d uc n
through the CT Bill, Veterans
Administration said today.
The figure is based on a VA
sampling which disclosed that
eight per cent of the 100000
veterans who so far have taken
CT Bill training did not have an
eighth grade education at the
time they started their Gl
courses.
Sampling in June
The sampling was made as OF
June l, 1949.
The 100000 total includes
100000 veterans who were in
training on June !, and 100000
who had previously been enroll.
ed but who we're not taking
training on that date.
OF the veterans enrolled under
the CT Bill at that time, 1913 pei
cent, or 100000, had not fin
ished elementary school wher
they started.
OF those not then in training
6,6 per. cent, or 254,0 veterans
had had seven years or less oi
schooling,
Not Past 9Th Grade
Nearly one-third of the 254,.
900 veterans taking institutional
on-farm training on June l, OF
800 per cent, had not completed
the eighth grade when they en-.
tered their courses.
On the same date, 1873 pei
cent of the 447, 900 on-the- jok
trainees and TT per cent of the
1,371,000 veterans in educational
institutions had gone no further
than the seventh grade at the
time they began CT Bill training
Attend School
ThousanGs of veterans are at
tending grade school under the
further education and training
CT Bill as a stepping stone tc
VA said. Some of these plan tC
go on to high school, while Others
hope to take training on-the
farm, on-the-job or in trade anc
vocational schools.
A number of States have es
tablished programs Of adult ele
mentary education for veterans
under the CT Bill.
The programs-generally &C
celebrated to permit veteran Il
complete an entire grade schoo
education In a matter of months
- age conducted through State
public school systems.
f Courses are open TO all eligible
veterans without an eighth grade
education-even those who never
have been TO school one day ir
/ their lives.

CHICAGO LPA)-The Taft
Hartley law has had at least one
effect that its sponsors didn't
foresee, some 500 topflight ex-
ecutives were told at the Nation
al Industrial Relations Confer
ence here. Sponsor was the US
Chamber of Commerce.
This most profound and far
reaching effect was pointed out
by Merlyn S. Pitzele, labor edi-
tor of Business Week" and a
member of the New York State
Board of Mediation. He said
Taft Hartley "has committed the
unions to political activity on
a scale and at pace never be-
fo1e apr ached" TIL, he said,
"has taken the place of Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt as a catalyst af-
fecting labor's political solidari-
ty."
Political Strength
Because of labor's neW-found
political strength, Pitzele de-
clared, "the Democratic Party
already considers it unthinkable
to nominate a candidate for
President, or for governorships
or senatorships in the Northern
industrial states, without first
determining the acceptability of
that candidate to the unions"
"To all practical purposes the
AFL and the CIO have achieved
unity on the political front, and
1850 has been marked by them
as their year of decision" He
said labor would concentrate on
trying to defeat Taft (Ohio),
Capehart (Ind), Wiley (Wis)
and Donnell (Mo).
Herman w. Steinkraus, presi-
dent of the US Chamber of
Commerce warned of the danger
in the breakdown of collective
bargaining. I'VE would not have
some of the sour spots in indus
trial relations today" he said,
had management consistently
been as diligent as IL should
have been in understanding the
desires, the needs, and the think
ing of the workers" II collective
bargaining breaks down, the al
tentative, forced by an impa-
tient public, may be compulsory
arbitration, leading to wage fix
ing and price fixing, he said,
adding THAT would be sorry
day" IF we want to retain our
liberties, both management and
labor must do a better job of
collective bargaining" he con-
tinued. Both sides must abandon
what is left of the name-calling

Symphony
Orchestra
|Progra1nsVariied

A large musical menu prepared
by skilled musicians is the recipe
for highly successful tours of the
North Carolina Symphony under
the direction of Benjamin Swain.
Symphony Society members
often travel from town to town to
hear the Orchestra's concerts, 50
varied programs and large re-
pertoire are essential. When the Or
chestra played 130 concerts last
season, the music librarian had a
sizeable job keeping three trunks
of music in readiness for the Or
chestra's different programs.
To aid him in planning the re-
pertoire each season, DR.. Swalin
welcomes suggestions from mem
bers Of the Symphony Society. One
request last season was for "Stars
and Stripes Forever" Other mem
bers have expressed preferences TO,
symphonies and concerto.
In the past season and in 1919
so, another problem Of music Sc.
lection and programming has aris.
en- in connection with the "pope'
concerts, instituted by the Sym.
phony during it fourth annual tour
For these programs, music of q
lighter type is necessary, for which
the Orchestra rehearses an entirely
new program.
The repertoire for the season a
head will be more varied than ever
before. This will again prove the
right recipe for great concert en-.
joyment for Symphony members al
over the state.
The Symphony Society drive fol
members in Marion is now in pro
gress. Memberships may be pur
chased from various committee
