Officers of New
Electrical Union
Files Affidavits

Washington (LPA)-Members of
the administrative committee of
the new IntI Union of Electrical,
Radio & Machine Workers have
filed non-Communist affdavits with
the Natl Labor Relations Board,
NLRB General Counsel Robert
Denham announce here Nov. 8.
This routine move give IUE the
right to participate in board cleo
tions under the Taft-Hartley act.
United Electrical Workers, from
which the locals broke away, filed
with the board some time ago. The
suspect UE affidavits were for
warded by Denham to the Justice
Dept for investigation.
Meanwhile, IUE, headed by
James B. Carey until its founding
convention November %, announc-
ed that locals with more than 100,-
coo members had sought charters
during it's first week of existence.
The union was set up at the con-
vention in Cleveland, which expell-
ed the UE.
A survey by Associated Press
reported that 100000 former UE
members seek affiliation with IUE.
The survey, counting UE member
ship before the break at 100000 to
100000, said $4,000 have decided
to stick with UE.
UE President Albert Fitzgerald
declared the reports are "wishful
thinking rather than fact" He adj
ded that his union is stronger by
$4,000 members now that Farm
Equipment Workers has merged
with it.
The new IUE signed it's first
contract this week with an en-
ployer in Yonkers, N. Y.

Negro Firemen
Backed By
Supreme Court

Washington (LPA)-The Negro
locomotive firemen, who charge
they are being displaced on south.
eastern railroads without being
protected by the union-which re-
presents them though barring then
from membership-now have the
Supreme Courts backing.
The Court, in a TO decision pre-
pared by Justice William Jackson
ordered reinstated an injunction
obtained by attorneys for Il Negro
firemen in federal district court
here in December 1947. The fire.
men claimed they We're being dis
placed because they could not be
promoted to locomotive enginemen
because of racial discrimination
practiced by the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen & Enginemen.
With the increasing use of diesel
engines, no firemen are needed.
The union, the Negro workers
charge, refused to allow the ex-
perienced Negro firemen to move
into locomotive engineers jobs, the
promotion practice followed with
white workers.
The union has offered to nego-
tiate on behalf of the Negro fire
men an agreement with the rail
roads providing that the "distinc-
tion between promotable and non
promotable men be abolished, and
that opportunity for promotion be
accorded to all firemen in service
in the order of their seniority"
However, the Negro workers have
obtained an injunction against such
bargaining, on the grounds they're
entitled to union membership, and
that the union would set up pro-
motion standards that the Negro
workers couldn't meet.
Justice Jackson, on behalf of the
Court, charged the Brotherhood
with "a continuing and willful dis
regard" of the Negro workers
rights, as defined in an earlier
court decision.

T. Disabled persons in need OF

Remedy-expansion of the existing
program for rehabilitation.
In addition, the report noted
that most Of the low-income fam
lilies are headed by persons with
little education. Sixty-four pei
cent of the non-farm families were
headed by persons between 25 and
Ga who had not gone beyond the
eighth grade. Only six per cent had
gone beyond high school, so "lack
of education for a better-paying
occupation thus appears as an inn
portant cause of low income"
AS remedy, the committee staff
recommended broader educational
opportunities, both academic and
vocational, for all qualified stud
ents regardless of income status
This, it is said, ais not only most
promising long-range attack on the
low-income problem, but is abso-
lutely necessary to preserve the
American tradition of equal oppor-
tunity for ALL"

TOBIN-BACKED MAN BEATS
CURLEY FOR BOSTON MAYOR

Boston (LPA) - Boss James
Michael Curley, "a, r-time
mayor of Boston, was beaten for a
fifth term by John B. Hynes, 81
who was backed by Secretary OF
Labor Maurice Tobin, former may
or and former governor. Hynes, in
the municipal service since 1929,
was Permanent City Clerk. He was
acting mayor in 1947 while Curley
was serving Jail term on mail
fraud charges. Tobin, who defeat
ed Curley for mayor in 1887 and
1941, made public his endorsement
of Hynes on the morning of cleo
tion day, after newspaper ad-
vertisement appeared, asserting he
was backing another candidate.
Defeat of Curley meant the
eclipse of one of the last of the ma
tion's political bosses.

Bars Refusal Of
ISub-Contract Jobs
For Struck Plants

Indianapolis (LPA)-The Taft
Hartley act keeps coming at the
unions from all sides. The other
day, the Metal Polishers Int'l
Union-AFL and its Local I'll here
learned that key strike tactics
sometimes can be called secondary
boycotts.
The Natl Labor Relations Board
ruled that the union was engaging
in secondary boycott when its
members in the Climax Machinery
Co. here refused last March to do
a chrome painting job ordered by
the Adams Plating Co., against
which Metal Polishers were strik-
ing.
Both Local I'll and the interna-
tional union were ordered to cease
inducing employees of Climax or
any other firm to engage in such a
boycott against Adams. The board,
in so acting, adopted in full the
conclusions of trial examiner.
Before the examiner, the Metal
Polishers argued the refusal to
work on the Adams order was part
of their primary strike activity
and was thus not barred by the
Taft-Hartley act. They said that
although employed by Climax,
they actually were working for
Adams on the sub-contracted job.
The examiner rejected this line of
reasoning.
Robert N. Denham, general coun-
sci of the board, obtained an in
junction against the union last
July, forcing it to cease the boy
colt activity.

New Electrical
Union Works Fast
To Meet Demands
BY BETSY BILANOW

Washington (LPA)-Things are
moving so fast in the race of cleo
trical workers locals to affiliate
with the new Int'l Union of Elec-
trical, Radio & Machine Workers
that not even the organizers at the
center of IUE are managing to
keep a count of the membership
in the new union.
IUE headquarters in Washing
ton was a scene of intense activity
this week with furniture just
brought in, workmen hammering
away at wiring and partitions, and
telephones screaming to be answ-
cred in steady stream of calls.
In the midst of the clatter the staff
of the new union were working like
mad to give out information, char
ter locals, and map organizing
campaigns among members of
tightly-controlled left-wing locals.
Under the air of feverish activity
office workers pounded away at the
mound of routine work that is
needed to oil the machinery for
any organization.
On November Z, any estimate of
the membership in IUE had to be
extremely conservative. l. o C a 5
were pouring in so rapidly that
even daily count would be mac
curate. Twenty-eight of them in
Springfield, Mass; Sharon, Pa;
Chicago; Pittsfeld, Mass; st.
Louis; Lake Success, N. Y; Phila-
delphia; and Dayton, had brought
in 74,400 members. At least 15
others in Cleveland; Salem, Mass;
and throughout New Jersey and
New York states had brought in
thousands more.
At the end of the CIO conven-
ton, President Philip Murray had
estimated that 48ed of the mem
bers of the Communist-dominated
UE, which the convention had ex-'
PEELED, would come back quickly
repudiating the "unholy trinity of
the Communist party, the old UE
and the employers"
The 1917 talked about would be
between 10000 and 155, 900. The
Monday after convention it looked
as though it was just a matter of
how quickly the locals could hold
membership meetings and vote, to
make his guess correct. For exam
pie, of the 10000 members in the
giant local at Lynn, Mass, at least
1900 were expected to pull out
and join IUE. The 14,000-member
Westinghouse local in Pittsburgh
was destined to Ego right-wing."
The old UE-CP leaders, taking
a beating at the polls, turned their
attention to the courts in an effort
to put legal red-tape between the
union members and their treasur-
les. In Lynn, Schenectady, Bridge
port and Pittsburgh the left-wing-
ers obtained temporary injunctions
halting transfer of union funds.
In Philadelphia, District Judge
Guy X. Bark restrained the new
union from using the name "Int'l
Union of Electrical Radio & Ma
chine Workers" before trial. In
Syracuse, Supreme Court Justice
Jesse f. Kingsley issued an in
junction preventing the members
of Local 320 at the General Elec-
trio Co. from holding a meeting at
which they were to vote on affilia-
ton. Secretary-Treasurer James
b. Carey, administrator of the new
union, attacked Judge Kingsley's
action as giving judicial aid to
those who are plotting to tear
down our judicial system" Pres
ident Philip Murray had said in
"injunctions never set
tie fights of this kind"

Policy Statement
From Senator Frear


First, may say that appreci-
ate the many written comments
which received following my
statement of last week. It is re-
assuring to know that so many
people are following closely the ac-
uylties of Congress. l hope to have
the continued benefit of your opin-
ions In the weeks ahead.
This past week more work was
accomplished on the question of
reorganization within the Post Of
nee Department and the Govern
ment Personnel System. The sub
committee, of which / am chair
man, met on Wednesday to discuss
bills that we hope to introduce in
Congress shortly to carry out this
reorganization. The plan, as so
many of you already know, follows
along the lines of the Hoover Com
mission recommendations Reor-
ganization of our Executive Branch
Of Government is intended to pro-
mote greater efficiency. / am conf
dent we shall succeed in this eff
fert.
On Friday of last week, a Post
once and Civil Service Subcom-
mittee, of which / am a member,
approved two bills relative to the
employment of veterans. One of
these, Senate Bill $50, as amended
would give qualified veterans pref
erence over Federal employees
with less than Is years service
when reduction in civilian per-
sonnel is made. Another Senate
Bill, 1887, as amended, which this
subcommittee approved would
amend the Veterans Preference Act
of 1944sso that when personnel re-
ductions occur it would still retain
in Federal Service qualified en-
ployees, who have disability of so
per cent or over.
Another measure which has been
under committee consideration for
several months is one to readjust
postal rates in order to provide
additional revenue for the Post
Office Department, now operating
with a Five Hundred Million Dol.
lar deficit. The subcommittee con.
sidering this bill met again on
Thursday to discuss the measure
and to receive additional sugges
tions from interested persons as
to it's contents. We are striving Il
reach the fairest possible solution
to this question. I feel that some
increase in postal rates is botl
necessary and warranted. Length!
public hearings have already beer
held on the bill during which We
heard the views of many business
men and those of the Postmaster
General, Jesse Donaldson and hi
staff.
Incidentally, I should like t
point out that the legislative pro
cess by which bills are acted upor
is often a lengthy procedure. Mucl
of the study and discussion take
place within the particular com
