HIGH COMPRESSION?

HV7HEN the talk turns to cars and car
w engines these days, that's topic you
hear much about.
So it's fairly interesting to note that, even
back before the war, Buick engines like this
one were touring the testing grounds with
compressions as high as 10 to 1.
Even later than that this same big Buick
power plant has been filling our engineers
notebooks with data on to l compression
ratios.
What has come out of this? Two or three
interesting points.
First of all, that this big Buick Fireball valve

sion ratio that gets as much out of present
fuels as any engine on the market.
Next, that these ratios can readily be stepped
up to fit higher octane gasolines as they be.

Labor United To
Fight Anti-Union
Law In Arkansas

Little Rock, Ark. (LPA) = All
branches of organized labor IN
Arkansas have united in cam
paign to repeal the states Free
dom To Work" law, which is con-
sidered even worse than the Taft
Hartley law. Petitions to place the
issue on the ballot in the 1850 cleo
tion are now being circulated.
Clarence R. Thornbrough, pres
ident of the International Typo
graphical Union here, said many
manufacturers and business men
have signed, and some have even
volunteered to circulate petitions.
The present law was passed in
1914, through the efforts of the
Christian American Assn. of Texas.
and the Arkansas Free Enterprise
Assn. As the Fort Smith Union
News explains, the law was put
over "by outside interests to the
detriment of the manufacturers
and labor here in the state. The
only purpose the law serves is to
encourage the sweatshoppers of
the state to exploit their workers"

Houston, Tex. (LPA) - The
school board has voted to drop a
high school civics textbook because
one paragraph on capitalism
"might have a bad effect on a
child's mind" The e paragraph
reads:
"The United States is called a
capitalistic country, but it does not
have pure capitalism. 1t has capi-
talism subject to increasing gov
ernmental control as our manner
of living becomes more complex.
The country is capitalistic with
strong socialistic and even COM
munistic trends. The postal system,
power projects and progressive
taxes are bits of socialism,; and
public free education and old age
assistance are examples of COM
munism-to each according to his
need"

Health Congress
Condemns Taxes

New York City (ILNS).-In a
resolution "condemning specific
taxes on oleomargarine," the Am
erican Public Health Association
urged Congress and the various
state legislatures to repeal these
taxes in the interest of public
health.
Scientific evidence has shown"
the association declared at its an
nual meeting here, "that fortified
oleomargarine supplies the food
factors usually expected of butter.
Present federal and state taxes on
oleomargarine seriously raise the
retail price of this commodity, thus
violating the principle that govern
ment should facilitate rather than
hinder the provision of a satisfac-
tory diet for the people. There is
need for immediate consideration
of this question by the next Con-
gress.

Drive Planned To
Limit Train Size

Cleveland, 0. (ILNS).-To pro-
mote safety, the Brotherhood of
Trainmen will soon begin nation
al campaign to limit freight trains
to 70 cars and caboose and pass
enger trains to IA cars.
Announcing the campaign, Train
men News, the union official week
ly said
can intensive campaign against
the unreasonably long and unsafe
trains, which are killing and maim-
ing brotherhood members will be
launched shortly on two fronts
legislative and economic"
The drive was planned at re-
cent meeting here of the brother
hoods general chairmen and state
legislative representatives. 7 h e
conference approved a resolution
recommending that "if all other
efforts fail to accomplish train
length reduction, the brotherhood's s
economic weapon-the strike-he
used to enforce its safety demands
on the carriers"
Martin H. Miller, BRIT legisla-
tive department director, said that
any strike action might be either
a general walkout by the trainmen
or, more probably, a refusal to op-
crate trains exceeding the maxi
mum lengths the union considers
safe. Freight trains now frequent
ly run twice the 70-car length, he
said.
Miller charged that injuries and
deaths of trainmen because of slack
action in long trains were mount
ing. When slack varying from 6 to
IA inches car is taken up in a
mile-long Q16-car) freight train
by braking, he explained, trainmen
in the caboose are thrown about
inside it. On the long trains, he
said the slack action works faster
than the brakes and there may be
as much as l50 feet of slack action
at the trains end.

Seripps-Howard
Change Their Tune
On Steel Dispute

Washington (LPA) - The
Scripps-H Howard newspapers last
week in an editorial headed "This
Nightmare is Real" called on Pre-
sident Truman to crack down on
the coal and steel strikers under
the Taft-Hartley law
The editorial was written in in
flammatory terms, warning that
strikes could "bring on a depres-
sion" and disrupt the whole free
world" All the blame was placed
on the unions--which the editorial
said were monopolies. No blame
was assessed against the indus
tries.
Yet, when the fact finding report
in the steel dispute first came out
little more than a month ago the
Scripps-Howard papers hailed it
as "a statesmanlike and intelligent
document" which they said "seems
to clear the way for industrial
peace"
And when Murray accepted the
fact finding report, the Scripps-
Howard papers said:
"If his decision helps to insure
industrial peace, as it should, he
will deserve the country's graft
tude."

Milk Drivers Win
Employer Paid
Retirement Plan

New York UPA) - Fifteen
thousand milk drivers and inside
dairy workers, members of five
AFL Teamster locals, won 10
cents-an-hour, employer-paid re-
tirement and welfare plan which
averted strike at the last NOM
ent.
Sixty hours of continuous nego-
tiations, with the Federal Media
tion & Cancellation Service partici-
pating, produced the final agree
ment, in which the welfare plan
was the sole point at issue. A milk
drivers strike would have cut milk
supplies to an estimated 11,000,-
900 people in the New York met
ropolitan area.
The contract, subject to ratifica-
ton by the local unions, will run
for two years. Agreeing to the
union demands were 210 milk pro-
cessing and distributing firms.
The five unions were IBT Locals
584, COZ, and GOT in New York

Display, a 30-minute, full-color,
sound motion picture of the fourth
all-out AFL exhibition held this
year in Cleveland and shown to top
officials and employees of the U. S.
government and the American
Federation of Labor.
The motion picture was shown in
the Departmental A d tori u m.
Special invitations had been issued
by Secretary of Labor Maurice j..

have the members of his staff see
the outstanding results of labor
management teamwork in action at
a Union Industries Show.

of its kind in the world. 1t is an in
innate presentation of the indus
trial progress of our nation and "A
splendid example Of good relations
between employers and employees.
1t will be eventually shown to mill
ions at union meetings and public
gatherings throughout the coun-
try. When it was projected on the
screen the audience thrilled at see

ing union label goods and demon
strating union services.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Michael j. Calvin, representing the
u. S. Department of Labor, said:
"The Union Industries Show is a
joint effort of labor and manage
ment in its highest note and it is
always good to have labor and
management join in mutual eff
fort"
AFL President William Green
warmly welcomed the guests and
expressed the feeling and senti-
ment of the entire crowd when he
said that he was confident that
they would enjoy an evening to-
gether which would be pleasing,
educational and inspiring" He fur
ther said that the record of the
AFL proves that it has made
tremendous effort to bring about
successful labor-management CO.
operation and that the aims, pur-
poses and detectives of the fedora
tion are dramatically set forth in
the Union Industries Shows so
ably guided by Ornburn.
Another movie entitled Power
Behind the Nation" was shown by
the Savings Bond Division of the
United States Treasury. Excellent
music for the evening was furnish
ed by a u. S. Navy orchestra.
