Maritime Union
Taking Case To
Supreme Court

New York UPA) = Herman
Cooper, attorney for the Natl
Maritime Union said last week
that the union will carry its de-
fense of the hiring hall to the
Supreme Court when the body
meets again this fall.
Recent NMU contracts with At
lantic and Gulf Coast shippers pre-
serve the hiring hall, and provide
that the union security measure
shall remain in effect unless veto
ed by the Supreme Court itself.
The Great Lakes case before a
Us circuit court last week which
held that the hiring hall is illegal
under the Taft-Hartley would de-
termine the pattern for all mari
time jurisdictions. What the cir
cult court did was to order the en-
forcement of an NLRB decision
outlawing the hiring hall.
NMU President Joseph Curran
has asserted that the order cannot
be implemented until after the
Supreme Court has acted on the
issue.
Attempting to take advantage of
the seamens' opposition to the cir
cult courts action, the Daily Work
er, official Communist party paper,
last week began a campaign for
wildcat" strikes.

Green Asks House
Group Not To
Alter Insurance

Washington (LPA)-AFL Pres
ident William Green has personal
ly wired all members of the House
Ways & Means Committee, urging
them to stop moves that may re-
suit in unequal. benefits and un-
equal payroll taxes for wage-earn-
ers of different pay levels under
the federal social security system.
The Committee, which is expect
ed to report to the House major
revisions in the current social
security law late this week, has so
far rejected proposals to maintain
the insurance principle" by seal
ing the amount of benefits paid to
match the amount of money contri-
buted to the system by the wage
Garner.
Green has warned the Congress-
men that, if they tamper with the
insurance principle, they'll be NOV
ing a long way in the direction of
the European systems of social
benefits, which operate on a COM
pletely different principle.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-07-14

He declared that the combine is
willing to discuss health insurance,
but only if workers contribute to
the fund equally with the employ
ers. Murray characterized Fairless'
insurance offer as "niggardly,"
revealing that it involved a COM
pany contribution of only 2Hc an
hour.
Despite a Supreme Court ruling
that pensions are part of wages,
Fairless said that US Steel is not
obligated to discuss them at this
time, but offered to have the ques-
tion of whether or not to consider
pensions settled by an industry
Board of Cancellation and Arbitra-
tion.
President Murray Immediately
pointed out that this "is not bona
fide arbitration proposal" 1t isn't
an offer to arbitrate on the issue
itself, he said, and then added that
the board to which Fairless refer
red is no longer in existence.
Despite the wailing of the steel
industry about it's lessened de-
mand, estimates published last
week show that both ingot pro-
duction and shipments the first six
months of 1949 exceed 1948 figures
by tidy margins. Altho the indus
try has shut down a number of
blast furnaces, it has kept up pro-
duction-at lower cost than last
year, thereby increasing its pro-
fits.
A normal seasonal falling off in
demand is expected during the
summer months, but as the conser-
vative New York Times stated last
week "demand from the automo-
tive, construction and pipeline in
dustries is furnishing strong
buttress for the market"
These conclusions, arrived at by
pro-industry sources, substantiate
what is reported to be the key
point in the Nathan reports: that
big business is trying to repeat the
1880 depression pattern-cut pro-
duction, freeze or decrease wages,
and keep profits high.

Steelworkers Demands
Spotlight Wage News

Pittsburgh (LPA)-Tbe United
Steelworkers of America demands
for wage, pension and health in
surance gains totalling 30c an hour
grabbed the spotlight of the ma
tion's economic news last week.
And it looks like the steelworkers
are in the headlines to stay.
Altho incensed at the blunt re-
lection of all of USA's proposals
by US Steel President Benjamin
Fairless last week, USA President
Philip Murray has accepted an in
vitation to meet US Steel spokes-
men in the Washington office of
Federal Cancellation Director Cyrus
Ching this week.
Just before going to the meet
ing in Ching's office Murray will
preside at the "unveiling" of a
report on the state of the nations
economy, particularly industry's
ability to pay higher wagts, pre-
pared by economist Robert Nathan.
The Nathan report, it has been
learned, will explain that heavy
industry can grant substantial
wage and social welfare benefits
out of profits made last year and
the first six months of 1949.
After the disclosure of the Nath-
an report on the general economy,
and his meeting with Ching, Pres
ident Murray will return to Pitts
burg for a meeting of USA's wage
policy committee. There a second
economic study, also by Nathan,
will be presented to the Steelwork-
ers' leaders.
This report is expected to COM
pletely bear out USA's insistence
that the steel industry can increase
the real wages of its workers by
30c an hour.
If US Steel, which broke off con-
tract talks last week, has not
given some indication that it is
prepared to bargain in good faith
ny IIIdC IlllC, CIlG y oA SpOhCoiilcli
are believed ready to give the
signal for a nationwide strike in
the big steel combine-a strike
that might begin this weekend.
The strike would begin with the
10000 USA members employed
by US Steel and about 100000
more workers in the plants of other
companies whose contracts with
USA also expire on July Is. There
is a possibility that it will extend
to as many as 100000 during the
summer as other contracts expire.
USA District 10 Director Will
lam ]. Hart has announced, how
ever, that 10000 employees of about
72 small steel firms will remain at
work even if the US Steel workers
strike. He has agreed to extend
the contracts of these outfits pend
ing a settlement with "big STEEL"
Citing "slackening business acti-
witty" Ben Fairless of US Steel
told the union last week that "no
sound reasons justify a wage in
crease at this time"

.Anti-MonopoIy
Basing Point Bill
0kayed By House

Washington OPA) = After g
confusing three hours of debate
during which ordinarily set-in-
their-views Congressman switched
back and forth, the House finally
approved last week a bill intended
to clear up a Supreme Court de-
cision on "basing point" pricing.
The confusion was compounded
because the antitrust officials OF
Justice Dept and of the Federal
Trade Commission, and especially
the lawyers who have tried to un-
derstand the Supreme Court basing
point rulings, are at loggerheads
over what Congress should do.
Several Congressman had warn
ed that the bill as originally draft
ed would enable big outfits like
A & P which control whole factor
les and food distribution systems
and drug chains to kill off small
retailer competition by selling their
goods at lower prices to their own
subsidiaries.
Led by Rep. John A. Carroll Cd,
Colo.), a House majority finally
approved a bill which will allow
manufacturers to "absorb" the
freight or shipping costs of getting
commodity to the purchaser, in
the price the manufacturers sales
man quotes. Carroll added to the
bill several stipulations that such
price absorption could not be used
in unfair competition.
Another gimmick in the bill
which Carroll had removed before
passage was a section which would
have allowed manufacturers charg-
ed with unfair pricing practices to
claim they had not intended will
fully to use unfair competitive
methods to get business away
from others.
The bill now goes to conference
between House and Senate, and is
expected to emerge in substantial
ly the House version, which is be-
lieved by most liberal and union
economists to be the best possible
version at the moment.

Court Rules On
yellow Dog Pact

Carson City, New. (LPA)-Can
a law which outlaws "yellow dog
contracts be twisted into barring
"union shop" agreements, as we'll?
No, said the Nevada Supreme
Court in a decision which has elat-
ed the labor movement in this
area.
The issue arose when locals of
the Hotel & Restaurant Employees
and Retail Clerks picketed two
Las Vegas drug stores to protest
against employment of non-union
help, and to fight for a union shop
agreement.
Employers dragged up a 1907
law forbidding "yellow dog" agree
ments and used that to get an in
junction from a lower court against
the picketing.
However, by two to one major
ity, the high tribunal threw out
the Injunction. Justice Edgar Esth-
er, who wrote the courts opinion,
declared the 1907 law "was enacted
to prohibit the yellow dog type of
contract and to protect workers
from compulsion to join company
dominated unions; but it does not
by its terms outlaw union security
agreements obtained through col
ective bargaining"
Also, the court stressed the
right of the unions to engage in
peaceful picketing," without be
ng enjoined. Such picketing, the
,ourt said, "must be given the
greatest possible scope and have
he least possible restrictions inn
posed upon it, because it is basic |
% representative democracy"
