Notice Served On
Ford Motor Go. OF
Strike Next Week

i Detroit (LPA)-After 80 day:
of supposed bargaining" with nc
progress whatever, United Auto
/ Workers has threatened to strike
next week unless Ford Motor Co
quits stalling on negotiations.
In letter to Ford Vice-pres
iident John Bugas on Sept. l, UAW
President Walter Reuther charged
that "Ford Motor Co. has to date
failed to meet the needs of the
Ford workers with respect to pen
sion plan, health program, a wage
increase, and a number of highly
important contract issues"
These issues include production
standards (speedup), farming out
of work to other companies, pro-
motion clauses, and loans and
transfers of workers from one de-
partment to another.
"The union negotiating commit
tee, said Reuther, "has shown ex-
treme patience" Ninety days, the
lUAW leader maintained, is more
than. adequate time in which to
settle the issues.
"The needs of the Ford workers" "
he declared, ''are simple and COM
|pelling. They cannot be ignored
nor can they be denied through the
device of prolonged negotiations"
Reuther went on to warn Ford
"that unless the company demon
|strates willingness to accept its
responsibilities and get on with the
practical job of negotiating fair
solution to the issues still in dis
pute, the union will be compelled
to serve its notice terminating the
contract"
Under Michigan laws, JAW has
to file a five day notice with the
State Mediation Board before it
can call a strike. In a board-con-
Quoted election last month, Mich
igan Ford workers voted 65,001 to
9045 to strike if necessary. The
Ford production workers
throughout the country, who are
covered by the present negotia-
tions, voted similarly in a union
election.
The UAW head reminded Bugas
of these vote figures, warning him
that Ford should not rely much
longer on the patience of its en-
ployes.
Leading the union demands are
$780, month company-fnanced re-
tirement pension for workers 60
or over, a cost-of living pay boost,
and health and welfare fund.
A settlement by Ford would
De likely to set the pattern for the
entire auto industry and possibly |
for other unions. UAW, however,
has held a strike election among
Chrysler workers and is seeking
he same demands from the Chry-
'ler Corp.

Chadwick UndergOes
Gladstone Operation

Eighth Vice President, Joshua
Chadwick is convalescing at his
home, 929 Grant street, Newell
following a gladstone operation in
the East Liverpool City Hospital
on August 81.
"Josh" as he is familiarly known
to his many friends throughout the
trade has been in i'll health for the
past several months but despite
this handicap had continued to
carry on his work at national head
quarters.
His physician reports the opera
tion successful and the popular
board member will soon be back on
the job. A letter or card from his
friends to the above address would
be appreciated.

more than 5000 since it was estab-
lished in 1913, Wylie explained.
The institution receives, from all
sources, approximately 90 cents a
day for each boy. Most of the food
must come from the crops and live
stock on the 70 acres Of farm land.
Labor union leaders have pledg-
ed all the labor that can possibly
be used in remaking the farm.
They estimate that the days pro-
ject-will call for around 300 carp
enters, 200 laborers, 40 operating
engineers, so electricians, so to 100
plumbers, so to go plasterers and
several bricklayers.
Its not a question of how many
workers we can get to donate their
labor, but only as to how many we
can use," Wylie explains.
The use of all equipment needed,
probably more than 100 pieces,
already has been pledged. Mean
while, many of the materials need
ed have been donated by Albu-
querque firms and individuals.
Among the materials needed are
l 300 steel and wooden fence posts,
65 rolls of woven wire fencing, Sc
rolls of barbed-wire, 10 gates, TO-
0C0 lineal feet of lumber, $50 cubic
yards of cement, and so gallons of
paint.
"This is certainly the greatest
effort in the history of
Albuquerque, and it promises to
be the biggest event in New Mex
ico's history" declares Wylie.

RAILWAY CARMEN
NOW IN NEW HOME

Kansas City, Mo. (LPA)-The
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen,
representing 100000 car-builders
and repairers on the nations rail-
roads, has moved into new head
quarters here--a two-story, mod
ern, streamlined building. BY con-
trast, the unions first ''home" was
an old baggage car. Seven car
builders met secretly in such a
coach 81 years ago on siding
near Cedar Rapids, Ia, and launch-
ed the Brotherhood.

Washington LPA)-The Senate
finally approved bill raising the
statutory federal minimum wage
from 40 cents to 75 cents by a
voice vote on Aug. 81.
However, liberal and labor mind
ed Senators were forced to accept
a reduction in the number of work
ers covered by the Fair Labor
Standards Act, as their colleagues
in the House had before them, in
order to overcome opposition spear
headed by the bourbon senators
from the south. But the Senate bill
is far superior to the one the
House passed.
Nevertheless, A d m i n tration
Senators who fought for both the
! higher wage and broader coverage
had to hail the bills passage as a
halfway victory because by it's pro-
visions possible maximum of
100000 workers would lose the
protection of the Fair Labor Stan
dards Act compared to the 1885,
900 estimated to be Topped off by
the House bill.
The whole question of the min
imum wage and the extent of COW
erage under the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act now goes to House-Sen-
ate conference committee whose
members will iron out a compro-
mise which can be pushed through
both bodies. The 75c wage will not
be an issue, however, and commit
tee deliberations will be centered
on eoverage in the Senate conferees

Local Union 724
To Meet Weekly

Local Union 124 seems to have
taken on a new life Judging by the
fine turnout at our meeting Tues
day evening. We hope this will
continue for there are several i'm
portant matters to be taken care
of and full attendance is neces-
sary to expedite these problems.
Propositions of the manufactur-
ers and our own proposals to be
taken up at the coming wage con-
ference were discussed and many
took the floor to voice their opin-
ions.
Beginning with our next meet
ing which has been called for Tues
day evening, Sept. 13, the local

Railroads ATTEMPT
To Curb Workers
Use OF Free Pass

Chicago (LPA) - Leaders OF
Railroad Brotherhoods are up il
arms over an attemtt by some rail
roads TO deprive rail workers OF
the use Of free passes for train
travel weekends.
The Pennsylvania, A m r c a. :
largest railroad, led the way with
a circular to all its workers call
ing upon them to stay off the trains
Saturdays and Sundays, except in
emergencies" or for special rea-
sons.
The "Pennsy" timed the decree
with the inauguration Of the 40
hour week for incorporating
workers. Out Of nearly a million
such employees who went on the
shorter week, the great majority
now have Saturdays and Sundays
off-and for perhaps the first time
in their lives they're able to go on
two-day weekend trips to beaches,
fishing sites, or to other amuse-
ments.
If they're stripped of pass priv
ileges on those days, that would
take the Joy out of the hard-won
fve-day week, union leaders said.
eff the railroads really go
through with a attempt to take
away the right of railmen to travel
on passes during weekends, we'll
fight back" declared President G..
E. Leighty of the Railroad Tele-
who is chairman of the
joint bargaining committee of the
unions representing the "non-oper-
ating" workers.

-level would be maintained at
normal. This plant employs ap-
proximately one hundred en-
ployees and manufactures rainbow
semi-porcelain dinnerware.
The Garden City Pottery Co. at
San Jose, is operating on a basis
considerably less than capacity
production. At the present time
they are manufacturing mostly
flower pots and stoneware.
Mr.. Rossi, plant manager, in
formed me he recently received an
extremely large order for eight
and ten gallon covered stoneware
jars. The order was placed by
Chinese fraternity in San Francisco
and strange as it may seem, the
jars are used to transport the
bones of deceased Chinese back to
China for burial.
This is a solemn and sacred
ritual Mr.. Rossi stated and in the
embattled areas, Chinese national
lists and Communists recognize the
sacredness of the burial process
and hositilities cease while cere-
mony is performed.
Local Union 16S has come to life
with bang and we are quite sure
the live wire officers Of this local
will do a fine job.
In conclusion | again wish to in
form members of the trade there
are no job opportunities available
on the west coast at this time.

Labor Joins In Community Effort In
Rebuilding Boys SO-Acre Farm Home

Albuquerque, n. M. (ILNS). -
Operation Brotherhood" has be-
come the keynote of the most in
tensive community effort in the
history of Albuquerque to culmin-
ate in the complete rebuilding OF
the 80-acre farm of the st. Anth-
ony's Boys Home Sept. 10, with
the local labor unions donating the
services of the more than 500
craftsmen needed to do the job on
the land and on the buildings, ac-
cording to w. T. Wylie, president
of the Albuquerque Trades Council
and chairman of the "Farm-in-a-
Day" labor committee.
Originally conceived by R. L.
Strong of the Soil Conservation
Service, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, as a plain field demonstra-
tion of soil and water conservation
the idea took hold with
practically all groups and organ
izations in Albuquerque. The result
was the decision to not only put
the farm land into the, best pos
sible condition for maximum pro-
but also to replace several
of the dilapidated buildings, paint
and repair others, and renovate
the recreational facilities.
Unions Pledge All Labor
The motivating appeal behind
this great one-day project is the
fact that st. Anthony's Boys
Home provides a home and educa-
ton for $50 or more unwanted and
neglected boys of all races and
creeds annually, and has cared for

IheSe Tories" he SAID, profess
to hate Communism, but conscious
ly or unconsciously, they are
through legislative action drawing
working people into the ranks of
the Communist Party.
"The Tories profess to love free
dom, but only for themselves, not
for labor"
eff we allow the Tafts and the
. Byrds to run our country" Green
warned, "and to run it on a policy
of doing nothing-we will get no
where. We believe in doing some
thing and getting somewhere. And
we invite the progressive farmers,
the small businessman, the mer-
chants and the professional work
ers to join with labor in the truly
American pioneering spirit in that
noble adventure"
Discussing the hateful, corrod-
ing and inhuman" influence of
world Communism, the veteran
AFL head extended great credit
to President Truman and the lead
ers of our country for their foreign
policy. First the European Recov-
cry Program and now the Atlantic
Pact have demonstrated to the
people and to the free govern
ments of Europe that America
means what it says" Green stated.
"While extending full credit to
the leaders of our government and
to those of the nations of Europe
who have collaborated faithfully
with u.s." he added, 81 feel that in
all fairness the trade union move
ment of America should also be
accorded recognition for the re-
markable success of its efforts to
win the cold war"
Without the support of labor"
he maintained, "The European Re-
covery Program could never have
succeeded"
"The free trade unions of so ma
tions," Green pointed out, "are
banding together and will form a
new international organization in
defense of peace and democracy
next November at a conference in
London"

Senate's 75c Pay Bill Far Superior To

conferees will not be named before

Commenting on the bill, Sen.
Pepper described it as a forward
step but made no bones of his re-
gret that the fight to extend pro-
lection of the minimum wage and
other provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act to greater number
of workers had to be temporarily
abandoned in order to get the rs
cent level approved at all.
Even in its somewhat mangled
form, the Senate version of the rs
cent law would bring pay increases
to approximately 1,250,000, in
creasing their annual purchasing
power by seme $3O0,000,00O, Pep
per estimated. The remaining 22,-
100000 people now covered by the

or more; many of them as the re-
suit of union activity, but Pepper

The adopted report said, how
