Meat Cutters
Seek Pay Boost

Chicago (LPA)-The Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters & Butcher
Workmen-AFL twill definitely seek
a wage increase in the next few
months" said Secretary-Treasurer
Patrick German, following a meet
ing last week of representatives of
local unions.
The Meat Cutters negotiating
committee met in secret session,
studying the industry's financial
statements, and mapping th e
unions campaign.
German pointed out that altho
the Meat Cutters contracts with
the packers run until August, 1949,
they can be opened for wage dis
cussions prior to expiration. He
said that the union will ask for ne
gotiations in June.

"Great stress will be laid upon
the AFL's activities in improving
the labor and living standards for
all Americans at the present time"
Ornburn added, "and with its huge
pictorial features it will tell the
story of how the AFL is trying to
extend the benefits of our demo-
cratic way of life to the peoples of
the entire world"
In connection with Director Orn-
burns remarks, AFL President
William Green said: "As we marvel
at the beauty and precision and
usefulness of the products of our
machine age, we must pay tribute
to the inventive genius and re-
markable skill which went into
their manufacture.

Washington (LPA)-The power
full AFL Building Trades Depart
ment, representing unions with
several million members, threw its
support this week behind a move
ment to transfer the civilian func-
tions of the Army Engineers to the
Department of the Interior.
A recommendation for sue h
transfer has been made by the
Hoover Commission though the
Army Engineers lobbied in an eff
fort to stop such shift. The AFL
department declared, however, ii
emphatically favors that recon-
mendation and hopes President
Truman will be given full reorgan-
ization power by Congress so that
it can be carried out.
The transfer should be made be-
cause of the anti-labor policies of
the Army Engineers, as well as to
improve government efficiency, the
AFL union declared.
AS an example of the attitude of
the Army corps, the Building
Trades unions cited their trouble
with Brown & Root Company of
Texas, one of the few big "open
shop" contractors in the nation.
Brown & Root received big
contract from the Engineers for
construction of large dam project
in Arkansas. The AFL unions
sought recognition for workers on
the project, but were rebuffed.
Whereupon, they petitioned for an
NLRB election and won the vote.
Still Brown & Root stalled on bar

Local Union sc cleared the
docket for resolutions to come be-
fore this years convention at their

General Election To Be Held First Meeting In MAJ
Social Held After
Regular Meeting
Of Local Union As

Trenton, N. Local Union as
held a brief meeting on April 22,
quickly dispensing with routine
business matters to make way for
a social which followed, sponsored
by the Contingent Comm tt e e.
Needless to say the refreshments
were very well received.
Ignoring previo statements
made through these columns Of the
necessity for members when leav-
ing the trade to secure withdrawal
cards to insure future membership.
several have failed to heed the
warning and the local was forced
to take action by suspending said
members.
We are sorry to report Herman
Wilkie, better known as (Lefty),
died suddenly April 20. Although
he had not worked at the trade for
several years, flowers were sent
and our deepest sympathy extend
ed his sister and brothers.
Our attention was also called to
the passing of Bro. Charles Chal-
land, retired, who died recently. We
deeply regret that flowers were not
sent from the local and extend our
apologies and sincere sympathy to
his family.
Bro. William (Billy) Lloyd died
on April 20. He was employed by
the city most of his life and lately
as custodian of the City Hall. He
was at one time a caster at the
Elite sanitary pottery on Enter
prise Avenue and one of the first
casters to be taken into Local
Union As some thirty-ive years
ago.
There has been some confusion
in ordering flowers for deceased
members and motion was adopt
ed that Bro. John Simpson who has
had a wide experience along this
line, to take over this assignment
in the future.
In our last letter we were incor-
rectly quoted as welcoming
trouble which we think would be
going too far. 1t should have read
"overcome all handicaps as far as
humanity possible"
Election of national officers and
delegates to our own convention
will be held on the first Friday in
May, May 6. Polls will open at 2:3O
D. m. and we hope everyone will
take advantage of the opportunity
to cast their vote.
Those elegible for delegates to
the convention are Joseph Abrams,
Lance Ansell, Albert D a vie s,
George Pearson, John Richards,
Edgar Shuman, George Smith,
Russell Southland and Elijah Wat
son.
Our best wishes for speedy re-
covery for Bros. Abrams and
James Moran who were reported
on the sick list.
Fares on Trenton busses have
been raised recently and rumor has
it telephone rates will soon follow
suit 1t looks to us as though any
ieflation is being greatly over
rated. Since most working people
are on a part time work schedule
It looks like we are going to take
It in the neck again.
We don't know what we can do
about it but we could at least make
sure we are eligible to vote next
for those we believe to
,e our friends. Don't forget those
who lined their pockets very nicely
IT the public's expense recently.
Other suggestions are welcome but

we evidence the stipulation offered
jointly by attorneys for plaintiffs

is a complete refutation of their
latest attempts to besmirch the

By admission of Tobin and

the Canvassing Committee, Duffy
and Jordan were completely exon
Grated of any knowledge of the
vote fixing or any participation
therein. Following is the stipula-

That the Discrepancy was not

SconduIous Permit Loxity

President Truman was justified In using
strong language to condemn the "pitifully
weak" licensing systems for automobile
drivers In some Of the States. In this
motorized age, with its rising toll Of trafhc
deaths and injuries, it is, as he told the
Highway safeway Conference here, "scan-
dalous" that so little attention Is paid
to drivers qualifications in half dozen
States.
This neglect is of Nationwide concern
because the motorists of those backward
jurisdictions are free to drive their cars
In any part OF the country. washington
gets major share Of such untested drivers
during the touring season. The local Traf-
fic Bureau has q black list Of offending
States. While drivers from these States
are permitted to operate their cars while
visiting this city, they are not eligible for
the reciprocal permit courtesies extended
to drivers from States requiring road tests
for permit qualification. Under the recip-
rocal policy the District will grant permit
without examination to . driver who has
been tested in another jurisdiction.
South Dakota is the most notoriously
Indifferent State with respect TO permits.
It is so Indifferent that it does not require
a drivers permit at all. All that Is needed
to drive q South Dakota automobile Is q
registration card. The Presidents home
State, Missouri. Is one of four that issue
permits without requiring driving test Of
any kind. The three others are Louisiana,
Idaho and Kansas. Florida tests It's own
drivers, but issues Florida permits without
question to drivers from States that do not
test drivers.
Mr.. Truman declared that state and local
governments "have duty to deny the priv
ilege of using public highways to the ire
sponsible, the UNIT and the chronic law
violators" The time to detect irrespon-
sibility and unfitness is before driver has
demonstrated his shortcomings on the open

The New DIP Bill

Inc dlSplaced persons Dill just aoOpteo
by the House goes far to meet the objec-
tions raised against the DIP Act Of 194S.
The latter has been subjected to consider
able denunciation, including that voiced
by President Truman and Governor Dewey
in the last presidential campaign. The
new measure, however, is designed to over
come such criticism and satisfy all who
favor liberalization Of the present provi-
sions governing the admittance into this
country of people victimized by Nazi or
Communist oppression.
Thus, although falling short of the Presi-
dents request for a total Of 100000, the
House bill would permit the entry Of $780,
600 DPS before June /, 1951-an increase
Of more than 30,000 over the number that
can be let in under the legislation enacted
last year. Moreover, the new measure
would eliminate from the existing law such
restrictive provisions as the following:
% That DIP, to be eligible for admission,
must have arrived in one Of the Western
occupied zones before December %, 1945;
(2) that 80 per cent of all those admitted
must be agricultural workers, and 90 that
40 per cent of them must be of Baltic
origin.
These latter restrictions have been at
tackled as discriminatory, particularly
against Jewish refugees. Although the
validity of that argument has always been
open to doubt, the House has found 1t suf-
ficiently impressive to act accordingly. But
1t has retained most of the less contro-
versial provisions of last years legislation,
including the provision that all DPS, before
entering must be guaranteed housing and
employment without displacing residents
of this country. In addition, to tighten up
the screening process against possible SUBJ
versive elements, the House has enacted a
new requirement under which each arriv-
ing DIP must take an oath that he is not
and never has been member of the Com
munist Party or any organization desig-
mated as communistic by the Attorney
General.
Although there appears to be some un-
certainty about how the Senate will deal
with the measure, there can be no doubt
that the House has acted in conformity
with the position taken by the heads OF
both major parties during the presidential
campaign. The action, moreover, is In line
with American tradition and American
self-interest. The sorely tried DPS are
fugitives from tyranny. With their skills
and their deep understanding of freedom,
they can contribute much to this country.
There is plenty Of room here for $4,000
of them.
