M Mochinisfs Will
Mop Rent Fights

Washington (LPA)-Every local
and district lodge of the Int'l AS
sociation of Machinists has been
urged by Vice-president Al Hayes
to set up a rent control committee
ITO make sure that Machinist union
members are effectively represent
ed in any public hearings that may
be called by the local government
to discuss decontrol" under terms
of the new rent control law.
Analysis of the new rent law"
Hayes reported, "shows that it will
permit more effective and stricter
controls over rents than the rickety
rent controls adopted by the S0th
Congress. Our problem will be to
make sure that under local pres
sure from real estate boards and
landlords the local city, town and
county councils are not stampeded
into killing these controls before
the housing shortage ends"

Washington (LPA)-The long
planned tabloid weekly newspaper
of Labor's League for Political
Education is slated to start publi-
cation in May. AFL leaders so re-
ported to delegates at the Leagues
two-day national conference here.
The new paper will replace the

letter, and to begin with will be
sent to every local union and to
key people in AFL and League af-
filiates.
Extensive use of radio is also
planned. Under. the program, ac-
cording to the League Reporter;
"the National League will trans
cribe radio programs and inter-
views featuring pro-labor congress
men and AFL leaders, which will
be sent direct to the home districts
and states for re-broadcast over
local stations"
"Thus, labor's progressive legis-
lative program, and the record Of
action of labor's friends on Capitol
Hill will be kept constantly before
the voters back home"

Union 1R
Goes On Record
For conveyor Belt

Local Union 172 had a very fine
turnout at their meeting on March
IL when the proposed new amend
ments to the constitution were dis
cussed pro and con. 1t was the
consensus of opinion that these
amendments would be of great
value to the trade in years to come.
Since Local 172 took a leading
role in offering amendments to the
we would like to take
this means of expressing our
thanks to all locals for considering
these proposals.
The local also went on record in
favor of the proposed conveyor belt
from East Liverpool to Lorain. In
the endorsement the MEM
bers feel more construction means
more jobs and more jobs means
more money. This would tend to
bring more job opportunities for
the people of the tri-state area and
certainly the time is at hand to
bring new industries into this
valley. -O.C. 172

Local ia Will
Vote On Penalty
For Absentees

Pinch-hitting for our regular
scribe, the writer will endeavor to
pass along to the trade, a partial
report of the activities from Local
Union 1874.
We are still going strong and
holding very interesting meetings.
The discussions at these sessions
are right to the point and bring
forth many suggestions to improve
conditions throughout the trade.
We are very sorry to report
Allan Rose, vice president, has en-
tered the Veterans Hospital at
Aspinall, for treatment. How about
cheering Allan up bit during his
confinement by dropping card or
letter to him at the above address.
President Armstrong made a
very good report of a meeting he
attended in Chester, w. Va, con-
cerning unemployment compensa-
tion.
Attention has been called to all
members of the various shop COM
to be present at our next
when a vote will be taken
to sustain or repeal the fine for
non-attendance.
Transfer cards were granted to
Clarence Bowers. Pete Shaw and
Keith Scott. Sister Martha Beatty
was granted a withdrawal card.
In these days of rent control,
evictions and what have you, it is
nice to know we are still on good
turns with our landlord, as
evidenced by check being sent to
national headquarters for the per
capita tax. -O.C. 124

AFL Cdnvdssers Hopeful
Of Tdft-HdrtleY Repeal

Washington (LPA) = Over 25C
delegates from AFL state fedora
tions, local central bodies and poll
tical leagues descended on Wash
ington this week and let the men,
bers of Congress from their states
know that the people back home
want to see action on repeal of the
Taft Hartley act.
They interviewed representatives
and senator's by the hundreds, and
then summed up their impressions
at a rally later. On the basis OF
what the "grass roots" delegates
found, AFL leaders came up with
this appraisal:
The fight for repeal of Taft
Hartley is going to be close one,
but it looks like majority in both
chambers will back repeal when
the showdown vote comes. How
ever, it's going to take a lot of
plugging, and trade unionists all
over the country can help by writz
ing to their congressman.
Several rough box scores on the
outlook in each House were drawn
up by AFL officials on the basis of
the interviews of Capitol Hill. The
most optimistic one showed clear
majority in the House in favor of
enactment of the Administrations
repeal bill, and this lineup in the
Senate: Al for repeal, al against,
and IL undecided or unheard from,
Prior to tanning out on Capitol
Hill, the delegates attended rally
at which President William Green
of the AFL, Director Joseph Kee-
nan of the AFL Political League
and others explained the legisla-
tive situation in Washington and
the need for mobilizing support
from back home.
Later, the delegates returned for
another conference at which they
the results Of the calls on
home state congressman. Many of
the delegates also told of the Leg
islative picture in their own states
and the prospects of defeating re-
dictionary candidates at the next
Federal elections.
Summing up the fruits of the
two-day conclave, the League Re-
porter" organ of the Labor's Lea
que for Political Education, de-
.lared that many of the state AFL
and LLPE leaders "were encour-
aged by the fact that it now ap-
pears many congressman who voted
'or Taft Hartley in r947 have not
,nly become disgusted with the
act in operation but have wisely
the Nov. 2 election as
mandate for repeal"
"On the second day." the Gre
porter" added, concrete plans
we're made for LLPE action in the

What Happened To
News From Local
Unions In Herald

The members of Local Union sc
have noticed in the last two issues
of the Herald, only one carried
any news from the various local
unions throughout the trade, and
incidentally, the lone report came
from this local in the March oath
issue.
Our members would like to know
if there is some reason for locals
not taking advantage of their priv
ilege to use the Herald, to ex-
press their views on subjects as
they have done in the past.
The attendance at our last meet
ing fell way below the usual stan
dard, but despite the poor turnout,
the meeting was very interesting
and brought forth many interest
ing discussions on trade matters.

Annual Digest Of
Labor Legislation

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). =
Workmen's compensation and child
labor legislation held the limelight
in 1948 when 10 states and Puerto
Rico met in regular legislative ses-
sions, according to the annual
Digest of state and federal labor
legislation" just issued by the Bur-
eau of Labor Standards, U. S. De-
partment of Labor, as its Bulletin
No. 101. Several states held special
sessions, but no labor legislation
was enacted.
Most significant was the passage
of a workmen's compensation law
in Mississippi, with the result that
every state in the Union now has
such a law. Existing workmen's
compensation laws were amended
in 6 other states. The child-labor
law of Kentucky and Virginia were
revised and standards for the en-
ployment of children were raised.
Other laws included a disability
compensation act in New Jersey
and changes in the industrial home
work statute in Rhode Island. AL
though introduced in several states,
no legislation restricting activities
of trade unions was enacted. The

Govt Union Wants
Better Break For
Federal Workers

Washing ton (LPA)-An all
around better deal for federal en-
ployes is being asked by the Gov
ernment Workers Union, a part of
the Industrial Union of Marine &
Shipbuilding Workers, in its legis-
lative program released last week.
In line with 81 an hour minimum
wage policy, GWU is demanding a
$2080 annual minimum for govern
ment employees. You may be sur
prised to know that some federal
workers get less for a full years
work. 1t has also drafted a COM
plete bill giving pay raises and
more equitable job classifications
to all federal employees.
A permanent fair employment
practices commission to rid the
government of the disgrace Of rae
ial discrimination in its hiring and
promotion policies is high on
GWU's list of "musts."
Improved retirement pay, and
in regular social security
legislation is being asked of Con-
gress, along with time -and-a-half
for overtime work.
GWU also wants the Hatch act
to permit federal workers
to take part in political activities
on the same basis as other citizens.

Union !! \ !! Chief Says
Need For Steel
Far From Filled

Washington (LPA)-The Amer
lean people believes that depres-
sions are man-made and that we
have the democratic right to ex-
pect our government to act to avoid
depressions with their mass unem-
ployment and their tragic human
and economic waste, Walter P.
Reuther, president of United Auto
Workers, wrote in a letter to the
Washington Post last week.
The letter was in answer to a
March Fl full page McGraw-Hill
advertisement in the Post, calling
President Truman's proposal to in
crease steel capacity Socialism"
"The idea that Government lend
money to assist private industry to
expand productive capacity is liter
ally soaked in American tradition"
Reuther stated. "Nor is it novel
proposal that the Government build
additional steel capacity if no pri-
vate enterprise can be found to do
it. Industry generally, and the steel
industry in particular, refused to
provide the new plants required for
winning the war"
The government built plants
then, he pointed out, which indus
try has since been glad to take off
their hands at fraction of their
cost. Now, he added, "the steel in
dustry is not keeping pace with
our. peacetime needs"
Meanwhile, steel plants thruout
the country have been closing down
open hearths, claiming that there
is an leasing demand" Union lead
ers point out that the need for
steel is far from filled. A housing
a shipping program, de-
fense needs for the North Atlantic
pact, and many other badly needed
projects could use more steel than
the present plants could possibly
make.
