Joe Ball Has A
New Job: As
Lobbyist. Nofeh

Washington (LPA) - Ex-Sen
Joseph Ball of Mimi, a strict Taft
Hartley man before he was upset
by Sen. Hubert Humphrey, is now
a full-fledged, journeyman lobby
ist.
| Ball has been named vice-pres-
ident of the Assn of American
Shipowners and manager of the
groups Washington office.
The one-time senator served his
apprenticeship last spring when he
helped veteran lobbyist Gerard
Reilly fight Taft Hartley repeal.
Reilly, while toiling in behalf of
General Motors and General Elec-
tric,. turned some hack work over
to Ball and paid him rather hand
somely-some $500.
In making public Balls new job
George w. Morgan, president OF
the Assn of American shipowners
said the shipping industry was
glad to have the Counsel and ad'
vice of a distinguished and exper-
fenced public figure who will bring
a fresh point of view and new
vigor."

Woodworkers Ok's
Action In Pulling
Away From WFTU

Vancouver, B. C. (LPA)-The
International Woodworkers of AM
erica approved the action of the
CIO Executive Board in disaffiliat-
ing from the World Federation of
Trades Unions.
Approval was one of the first
actions taken at the 18th annual
convention which opened here Sept.
26, with GOO delegates and visitors
attending.
The WFTU was assailed for
failing to serve the purpose for
which it was created, and for be-
ing used Gas an instrument of viii
LITIGATION and abuse against free
and democratic governments and
free and democratic trade unions"
Discussing trade relations be-
tween the US and Canada, union
president j. E. Fading said 1--WE
cannot have reciprocal trade be-
tween countries if we start exclud-
ing commodities at the request of
Ievery industry which would like
world trade to be a one-way street
for their particular product"
Regarding unemployment in the
lumber industry, Fading said the
real reason was not importation of
logs and lumber from Canada, but
rather "the squeeze the large COM
panies in the states are putting on
the gyppo logger to force down log
prices or force them out of busi-
ness altogether"
William Mahoney, western dir
ector of the Canadian Congress of
Labor, told the delegates they had
set the pattern for dealing with
disruption within the union. "You
have made it clear that workers in
the United States and Canada will
not go along with the sort of
treacherous leadership displayed
by Pritchett and Dalskog in their
secessionist movement in British
Columbia last year," Mahoney said.

THE LESSON OF COLUMBUS
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind, the Gates Of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost of shores,
Before him only shoreless seas" "
So begins Joaquin Miller's great
poem on Columbus poem for all
/ those who are facing a time of
danger. Columbus had only a be-
lief by which to sail. He set out
into an unknown ocean, which the
fears of more timid men had peo-
pied with fabulous monsters and
half-hinted perils. His ships were
small his crew mutinous, his sec
onds in command envious that this
foreigner" should be placed over
them.
All he had was an idea-a plan
which was new, and which wise
men swore could never be carried
out. But he did it. He set his course
straight ahead and stuck to it. The
monsters did not appear-but un-
forseen hardship did. The ships
were becalmed for days in the
Doldrums-that patch of ocean
where the wind seldom blows. The
provisions and water ran low, and
the ocean was wider than his wild
est calculations. But still he went
on.
What he faced, we face today.
We face the difficulties of unem-
ployment, aid to Europe, the de-
tense program. We will need the
extra energies of men to pull us
through the inaction of the Dol
drums. We will have to meet with
and handle mutinous subyersive
forces and envious, self-seeking
leaders. But where Columbus had
the idea Of a new road to the
Indies, we have the proven ideal of
The New World, where democracy
has an opportunity to progress,
and where all men are free. II we
steer straight ahead, along the
course we know to be right, with
our faith in the sanctity of the IN
dividual and in the inborn right of
all men to be free and equal, as
our guiding star, we will reach
our goal of a better world for all
men. But we must persevere-or to
take the original meaning of the
word-we must follow through!
"The good mate said: "Now must
we pray
For 10! the very stars are gone,
Brave Admiral speak; what shall
| Say?"
"Why say: Sail on! Sail ON! And
onw
Then pale and worn, he paced his
deck,
And peered through darkness.
All, that night
OF all dark nights! And then a
speck-
A light A light! At last a light!
1t grew, a starlit flag hnfurled!
1t grew to be Times burst of
dawn.
He gained a world, he gave that
world
It's grandest lesson; "On! Sail
onl"

cause they knew of a coop that
had failed; and "co-ops can't COM
pete" they said Prolonged negoti-
ations with another, And so it
went.
Things looked dark Members
might tire of waiting and want
their money back, they feared.
Meetings still held but not much
to report except that the deter
mined three were exploring every
lead for location. Things were
dead-and by now it was spring
again. A year and a half and no
store. 1--WE might have to forget
it," They said it at Dillonvale. But
not at East Liverpool-the store
search continued; not one member
lost faith and withdrew.
And then suddenly a supplier
wrote Dillonvale of a store in a
residential neighborhood -. we'll
established, neat and clean-whose
partners wanted to sell out. 1t was
done-quickly; and on May 2 this
year the coop members of East
Liverpool and vicinity had the
long awaited opportunity of buy
ing food needs in their own store.
Now the coop serves an increas-
ing number Of members. Over 200
families have shares or are partly
paid up. At the organization ban
quet, New Co-op's credit manager,
Azallion, congratulated the mem
bers on "your continued faith in
the project and your strenuous eff
forts to see the thing through" :"
He had seen it through from the
other end too-since that first visit
of inquisitive potters.
And with whom have the people
entrusted responsibility for the
first crucial year? "Dales, Garner
& Cubberly"-eager still to help it
grow. And County Auditor Worm
dram, one of the former owners.
He's caught the spark and is tell
ing his neighbors about it. And
Kountz-also a former grocer.
So, coop is born. Aided in this
instance by old hands in the game.

A Coop Open House is to be
held at the newly-remodeled self
service Coop store here the even
ings of October 6 & 7 from 7 to 10

UAW Wins S1OO
Pension For Ford
Workers AT 65

VEV1 NCs y H6 w
Detroit (LPA)-In a settlement
that may become milestone in
the mass production industries,
United Auto Workers has won a
month retirement pension
for 10000 employees of the Ford
Motor Co. The settlement was
reached just before strike dead
line.
Workers 65 and over are eligible
for the pension, with retirement
compulsory at 68, except in cases
where the worker has not yet ac-
crued 30 years and would like to.
The 500 is based on an 8A cent
per-hour contribution by Ford plus
the amount received by workers
under the present social security
laws. If government social security
payments go up, the Ford pay
ments automatically go down,
keeping the total pension at 500.
The pension plan was arrived at
in bargaining centering around the
recommendation of the President
ial fact-fnding board in the steel
industry. The contract, effective
Oct. 1 also includes a health insur-
ance plan already in effect. Ford
pays ID cents into the health plan.
The contract runs 2H years, with
a reopening on all economic issues
except pensions in Is months (Jan.
/, 195D. The pension plan runs
beyond the other contract prosis-
ions to April, 1865. The fund starts
March l, with payments to work
ers beginning April /. A union
spokesman pointed out that this
gives General Motors time to start
a similar plan on the same date,
UAW President Walter p. Reut-
her hailed the agreement as "a
historical step forward in labor's
drive to destroy the double econ
omic and moral standards in Amer
lean industry" The auto union
leader declared the Ford settle
ment twill be used as a basis for a
similar agreement with Chrysler.' y
Reuther said the formula Should
point the way in the steel indus
try" Big steel, however, showed
no signs of giving in to similar
union demands.
Henry Ford III, sailing for Bri-
tain the morning after the 35-hour
final negotiating session ended,
told newsmen the plan is good for
the company and good for the
men,"
John S. Bugas, Ford vice-pres-
ident who negotiated for the com
pany, said he believed the new con
tract "opens the door on a long
period of sustained labor peace and
productivity"
The plan will be administered
by a joint company-union board of
trustees which will pass on quail
iications of employees. The company
retains the right to appoint bank
or trust company to handle the
fund.
Original JAW demands sought
the complete pension for workers
at 60, as well as an hourly wage
boost. A survey of production
workers in the auto plants showed
that the men preferred pensions
and other security provisions to a
wage raise.

Dairy Profits
Too High, Senator
Gillette Says

w doIlliS IVii III n - ICSlllllOlly y
showing that the National Dairy
Products Corporation is making 10
per cent profit on its investment,
after all taxes, drew from Chair
man Gillette Cd, Iowa) the COM
ment that such profits were "al-
together too high" at a Senate in
vestigation of food prices this
week
First witnesses, as the Senate
Agricultural Subcommittee opened
an Investigation of the spread be-
tween farmers prices and retail
prices were l.. A. Van Bomel, pre-
sident of National Dairy Products
and Theodore G. Montague, pres
ident Of the Borden Co.
Both presented their profits in
terms of the percentage of dollar
sales, which made them look as
small as possible-National Dairy
Products 2.6 per cent, Borden's
2.95 per cent. ~ ~
But under committee question
ing, these small percentages turn
ed out to be $26,000,000 and $19,-
100000, respectively, which the
committee disclosed were far high
er than under price control prior
to 1916. Gillette also converted the
figures into profits as related to
invested capital and came out with
percentages of 10 and per cent,
instead Of less than 3.
Paul Hadlick, Committee counsel,
pointed out that ,Borden's profits
were twice as high as they had
been under price control and were
reported to have risen another IL
per cent this year. He said the
story for National Dairy Products
was similar.
The Committee wanted to know
why prices to consumers had not
dropped as farm prices went down.
Both Senators Gillette and Young
Or, N. d. indicated they felt the
companies were making too much,
although the witnesses strongly
dissented.
After the hearing, Gillette told
Labor Press Association he felt
the profits were altogether too
high" considering the little risk
involved in such operations and the
quick turnover of products. Had
lick at the hearing drew from Van
Bomel an estimate that his COM
pany turned over its investment
six times each year, and that for
that reason the 2.6 per cent pro-
fit on volume did not mean much
in relation to real profits. Gillette
noted that farmer turns over his
Investment only once each year.
Here is the way the profits of
Borden have zoomed since price
control was removed:
1914 (price control fully effec-
tive) profits $9,9S7,0O0
1945 (prices controlled)-
$12,093,972
1916 (price control killed)-pro-
fits $19,5S1 600
1947-profits S19,793,000
194S-profits $40, ,l79,0G0
In an opening statement, Gil
lette said commodity prices had
dropped 20 per cent; Wholesale
prices only 10 per cent, and retail
prices only three percent. He said
this lag in the price of retail pro-
ducts was not healthy and repre-
sented either inefficient operations
or "inordinate profits" for distri-
butors.
Gillette read a letter from
friend complaining about the high
price of milk, as compared with the
price the farmer gets, and blaming
the difference in part on high labor
costs. Van Bomel'S testimony re-
futed this. He showed that labor
costs for his company take only 16
cents out of each dollar paid by
consumers as compared with more
than 20 cents only 10 years ago,
despite many wage increases.
