And what a debt we OWL to Mother.
From the day you first were Graded
i'm her arms you were Aer darling.
For it was she who gave uslstrength to
achieve success, the courage to meet
failure.
And we in the bank know something
of her struggle with slender budget,
her satisfaction when she lays some
thing by"
May sth is Her day. Don't forget
YOUR Sunday girl.

Grath Cd, RI, who is also chair

is "the only practical solution" for
the Capital City.
In the 216 to $50 vote which
saddles District residents with the
inequitable tax, trade unionists in
Congress, like Reps. Andrew J.
Biemiller (Wisc.), Tom Burke
(Ohio), and Roy Wier (Minn. -
all Democrats-lined up against
the SOAK -the-poor" bill.
Many of the votes against the
measure were secured by efforts Of
the pro-labor organization Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action at the
Of its DC chapter.
One freshman Congressman who
usually votes right voted for the
sales tax. He later explained his
vote by saying that party leaders
had told him that if the sales tax
isn't passed We'll have to close up
the District"

CONGRESSMEN FEAR SALES TAX
WILL SET NATIONAL PATTERN

Washington (LPA)-Some liber-
al Congressman last week disclos-
ed their fear that the Houses pass
age Of a 2a5 sales tax for the Dis
trict of Columbia is "the opening
wedge for a national sales tax"
The Congressman told LPA that
bipartisan" conservatives are toy
ing with the idea Of national
sales tax as a compromise" be-
tween President Truman's demand
for more federal revenues and their
own unwillingness to increase in
come taxes on "the upper brackets"
on corporate profits.
While administration leaders in
Congress are believed to be oppos-
ed to national sales tax they
compromised their position by ac-
cepting a local one as ''the easy
way out" Of the DC's revenue pro-
blem.

Mccormack (Mass.) voted for the
bill, and Democratic National Com
mittee Chairman J. Howard Nc

Rhodes Bill Would
Aid Govt Workers

Wa hing ton (LPA)-A bill
guaranteeing government workers
unions recognition by the agencies
in which they work was introduced
into Congress last week by Rep.
George Rhodes Cd, Pa.).
The bill is in the form of an
amendment to a 1912 act giving
government employees the right to
organize and petition Congress for
Legislation. 1t applies to postal and
Federal employees and insures the
right of union officers or repre-
sentatives to present grievances on
behalf of their members. Any gov
ernment official who refuses to dis
cuss such grievances can be re-
moved from his job or punished in
some other way.
Another provision of the bill is
that administrative officers must
confer with union representatives
on "matters of policy affecting
working conditions, safety, in-ser-
vice training, labor-management
cooperation, methods of adjusting
grievances, appeals, granting of
leave, promotions, demotions, rates
of pay and reduction in force, and
shall recognize the right of such
officers or representatives to solicit
membership, collect fees or dues,
or carry on any other lawful activ-
ity without intimidation, coercion,
interference, or reprisal."

Better Pay And Federal

New York OPA)-A collective

the shipbuilding industry, as well
as wage increases was drafted last
week at the convention of the In
dustrial Union of Marine & Ship
building Workers.
The nearly 400 delegates, repre-
senting over $4,000 members, also
called for Congressional action on
the unions plans for an expanded
merchant marine, and a stronger
navy.
In his keynote speech to the con-
vention, President John Green said
that the union will push "for a real
wage raise this year and every
year until our members and all
others in our nation achieve what
we believe to be a decent standard
of living"
Green pointed out that industry

The Union Industries Show has

made.

its income into wages than it did
ten years ago. He warned that only
fairly distributed purchasing power
can prevent a depression.
Union heads, in their report, dis
closed that membership and union
income has fallen off as a result Of
decreased employment in the ship
yards. They failed however, to get
the necessary two-thirds vote from
the delegates authorizing a 81
month dues increase.
Bulk Of the opposition of this
motion, which a majority of the
delegates approved, came from the
locals of metal and railroad work
ers which have affiliated with
IUMSWA. Their action prompted
many representatives of the older
shipyard locals to talk in terms of
reconverting IUMSWA into a
union made up entirely Of ship
builders.

Proposed Postal
Increase Would
Hit Union Papers

Washington (LPA) - Big pub
fishers, testifying at the hearings
on proposed postal rate increases,
are arguing that the Post Office
was not meant to be business but
exists to provide service.
Purpose of the original law rates
for publications, they say, was to
make educational material avail
able to the people. This is true,
and makes a lot of sense but it is
the opposite of the stand they take
on other issues such as federal aid
to education or a strong labor de-
partment. Many of the men testi-
flying make $4,000 to 100000 sal
aries-money saved by the low
rates.
Union publications would be hit
particularly heavy if the proposed
new rates went thru. Under the
current law religious, labor, fra
ternal and similar organizations
pay only Ire a pound. Under the
law being considered they would
pay &c to &c a pound.
In a letter to the Senate and
House post office committees News
Editor Allan l.. Swim pointed out
that "most of the national trade
union organizations have members
widely scattered thruout the United
States, and would feel the full
brunt of the increased rates in the
more distant zones"
"The purpose of the second-class
rates-and of the special non-pro-
fit exemption said Swim, lis to
provide for the widest possible dis
semination of printed material in
order that the American public
may be best informed of the issues
facing the country and its govern
ment.
"The non-p + fl organizations
listed in the exemption are pri-
mary contributors to this type of
popular education. To the extent
that their publications, printed not
for profit but for promoting ideas,
reach a large proportion of the
public, they serve a definite pur-
pose in our American democratic
form of society,""
Pointing out that the proposed
legislation would cause many small /
journals to curtail or suspend pub
ication, the executive board of /
Intl Pulp, Sulphite & Paper Mill
Workers-AFL passed a resolution
the measure.
"This bill, if inacted into law"
said the statement, "would serious
y handicap the easy exchange of
news, ideas and information, thus
adversely affecting the very foun-
lation of our democratic way of
ife."
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-04-07

rates, plus the &c increase, will
mean an average rise of 32c per
hour for the million workers. "This
makes it the largest wage settle
ment ever won by any group at
any time in American industrial
history" Leighty said.
Elsewhere on the railroads, there
were these developments:
(1) The Train Dispatchers' As
sociation negotiated a 40-hour
week at 4S hours pay and a seven
cent increase for their members
the same as in the case of the 16
Incorporating" unions.
(2) The Railway Conductors de-
ferred a scheduled strike of 1890
sleeping car conductors on the
Pullman System after the Nation
al (Railway) Mediation Board in
tervened in an effort to settle the
dispute, which involved a backlog
of grievances.
(3) Five Operating" Brother
hoods, representing $4,000 en-
ployes in train, engine and yard
service, began negotiations with
the railroads for paid vacations of
Is to 80 days annually, then re-
cessed the bargaining sessions, TO
April 10.
(4) About 1000 members of the
Railway Conductors have voted
overwhelmingly to strike on the
Chicago & North Western System
because of company stalling on
settlement of many grievances. No
strike date has yet been set, how
