Hutters' Unions Celebrate
100 Years of Progress

Newark, N. j. QLNS)-Promin-
ent leaders of labor, industry and
government helped celebrate the
\hundredth anniversary of the New
: ark Locals, 13 and IA, of the Unit
ed Hatters, Cap and Millinery
Workers international Union Sat
urday evening, Nov. II, at the
Essex House here.
Joining President Max Zaritslly
General Secretary Marx Lewis and
the members of the general execu-
tive board of the United Hatters,
were William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
Ralph Valina, Mayor of Newark,
Vincent Murphy, secretary-treasur-
er of the New Jersey State Feder-
alton of Labor and other outstand-
ing labor and civic leaders.
Union Gains Hailed
In saluting Locals 13 and IA on
their more than 100 years of con-
tinuous existence, President Zarit-
sky of the international union, de-
clared, Through the 100 years that
have elapsed since your locals were
founded, the Hatters of Newark
have seen their wages and condi-
tions of work immeasurably i'm
proved. But that is by no means all
that Locals 13 and Ia have accom-
plished on behalf of their members.
The Hatters of Newark have not
merely bettered their material con-
dition but they have achieved a
status of human dignity, of equal
ity with every other part of our
population. They have won for
themselves, through their unions,
aall the rights of free citizens of a
'free country, including the right to
deal with their employers on terms
of equality and dignity.
"For 100 years the Hatters of
Newark have been union. For 100
years Newark has been a union
market and today Newark con-
tinues to flourish as a union mar
ket. But during all this period
there have come and gone dozens
of non-union hating centers. Hard
ly a decade passed that some hat
manufacturers did not decide to
run away from the union; they be-
lieved they could do better if they
did not have to deal with their
workers collectively. The history of
Locals 13 and ID proves that they
were wrong; proves that a sound
union, intelligently led, is good for
industry, and that while non-union
shops perish, those manufacturers
who deal with the union on fair
and proper terms flourish"
Week of Celebration
The dinner and dance at the Es-
sex House was the climax of
week of labor union celebrating.
Delegations from scores of local
unions all along the Eastern sea-
board and the Middle West came
to Newark to help celebrate the
anniversary.
The Newark locals have dis
tinguished history. Born in the

Garment Workers
Labor College To
Train Organizers

Washington (LPA) - The Int'l
Ladies Garment Workers Union
AFL will pioneer on a new level of
labor education this winter when
it establishes the first college"
operated by a labor union in New
York this winter.
David Dubinsky, the ILGWU's
colorful president, announced plans
for the college after a meeting of
the unions executive board at the
Shoreham Hotel here. He said the
union will put up 100000 for the
institution and that if more money
I is necessary it will be available.
The college will be organized
and run by Arthur Elder, vice
president of the American Fedora
tion of Teachers-AFL, and direc-
tor of the University of Michigan's
Workers Education Service until
it was abolished under pressure
from group of corporations head
ed by General Motors. Elder is
midwest director Of the AFL's
Workers Education Bureau and was
once consultant on education for
the Labor Department.
Dubinsky said that the main aim
Of the college will be to produce
trained leaders for the ILGWU.
Forty students will be enrolled at
a time. They will study four
months, spend four months in the
field, then return to school for
final fourmonth period. Graduates
will get jobs as organizers and
business agents at $1,000 to $4,000
a year.
Speaking Of the ILGWU's pre-
sent leaders, Dubinsky said: "We
are getting old. Some of US are
dying Who will succeed US? 1t is
our hope that from our school new
leadership will be found"
The carefully selected students
must be at least 18 years old and
must have at least high school
but need not be union
members. They will study labor
law, labor economies, and related
subjects. The ILGWU will pay
their tuition but the students will
pay for their own board and room
during the eight months Of aca-
demic work unless they qualify for
scholarships. In the field they will
draw salaries.
Dubinsky told reporters that the
ILGWU supported the idea of a
labor college subsidized by a num-
Der of unions a dozen years ago,
but that other unions had not been
ready for the move. He said he
thought the idea would catch on
his time, however, especially if
he ILGWU's experiment turned
out successfully.
The ILGWU is no stranger in
he field Of education where it al
ready has a long history. In New
York, Julius Hochman, vice-pres-
dent and chairman of the ILG-
WU's Education Committee, com
on the Garment Workers
present extensive education acti-
titles, recently said that they
demonstrate that unions are more

SEC Aide Replies
TO Eaton Charges,
Points To Probe

| Washington (LPA) - Cyrus
Eaton, who testified against the
Securities & Exchange Commits
! sion before the CelIer Committee
last week, was described by a
spokesman for the SEC Nov. 16 as
witness with an axe to grind be-
cause Of the current SEC proceed
ings against him.
Lewis Loss, associate general
counsel of the SEC. accused Eaton
of presenting "highly misleading
testimony" in his charges against
the SEC and Henry Kaiser, which
the daily press played in big way.
Loss noted that Eaton did not men
tion that SEC was currently inves-
tigating whether he should be dis
barred from the investment bank
ing business because Of his refus-
al to carry out a $12,000,000 under
writing deal with Kaiser two years
ago.
Eaton has accused the SEC of
playing cozy with the big invest
ment bankers in New York, with
unnecessarily handicapping small
business by its registration regu-
lations, and other vices. Loss point
ed out that Eaton never criticized
the SEC until after his conflict
with Kaiser led to investigation by
the SEC, and that therefore it was
"fair to assume that may color his
attitude toward the SEC"
Challenging Eaton's testimony,
Loss said no issue of less than
100000 has to be formally regis
tered with the SEC except for sub
mission of routine application
that can be filled out in half an
hour. Even bigger issues do not re-
quire very complicated registration
procedures and registration costs
only $100 per $1,0O0,000 of secur-
tiles issued.
The great cost of SEC registra-
tion which has been so often charg-
ed, Loss said, is chiefly the cost of
underwriting, for which the SEC is
not responsible.
He cited a study by the. SEC
showing that so per cent of these
costs were underwriting fees, and
that even the remaining 20 per
cent chiefly went for printing, ac-
counting and engineering expenses
which would be incurred whether
the issues were registered or not.
The total fees, including under
writing, vary from an average of
1.15 per cent on big issues to %
per cent on small issues, Loss said
But of this the underwater fees
count for rs per cent on the big
issues and IT. per cent on the
smaller ones. He said it was the
underwriters fees, rather than the
cost of SEC registration, that
handicapped small companies.
Replying to charges that SEC
difficulties are driving
more and more security issues into
private deals with the insurance
companies, Loss said that trend
was caused by the fact that the in
surance companies have such trem-
endous sums to invest every day
that they are easier to sell. Chair
man Celler noted that the big in
surance companies in New York
have to invest an average of $10,-
C00,000 a day.
Answering Eaton's charge that
the SEC is tied into the big invest
ment bankers through their lawy- !
ers, Loss noted that all of Eaton's
lawyers in the current proceedings
with the SEC are former SEC en-
ployes. He was referring to men,
Ders of the law firm Of Arnold,
Fortas and Porter.

The cause for the delay in

ment Of schools and construction
Of one new one is that the legal
angles of the issue will have to

be validated by Circuit Court
Judge Aquilino Lopez. Jr. II IS

Then the bonds must be apz
proved by a national firm of
bond attorneys. such as Chapman
and Cutler Of Chicago Every
thing must be checked by the
firm, which must then state that
the bonds may be properly sold.
Bids may be sought by the
School Board after the bonds
have been sold and the money is
on deposit in the bank here.
