New Rate Scale
Creates Harmony
AT Erwin Plant

Erwin, Tenn.-Local Union 103
is rolling right along in a progress
sive fashion. Our meetings have
been very interesting lately with
plenty Of discussions on trade
matters.
We don't have full renort of
the shop committee as yet, but we
understand the long needed piece
work settlement between the jig
germen and batterouts went into
effect on April /. We feel this will
result in a real harmonious feeling
in the clayshop.
We read in the Herald about
quality workmanship as stated by
other locals. We realize the need
for this and urge our members to
take heed and do their best. 1t is
known fact that we all slipped Il
little during the war and it will be
hard to get back in the old groove,
but we can all do it. We must also
have the full cooperation of the
manufacturers in giving us quail
ity product to work with.-O.C. 103

New Farm Program
Would Give Real
Break If Passed

Washington (LPA) = The con-
sumer would get break under the
Administration sponsored f a r m
program outlined last week to Con-
gressional committees by Agricul-
ture Secretary Charles Brannan.
Labor, newspaper of the railroad
brotherhoods, and Labor's League
for Political Education, in a spec
ial agricultural supplement" to
LLPE Reporter, hailed the pro-
gram.
The new proposals are intended
to pay the farmer out of federal
funds "to go on producing to meet
genuine consumer need, rather
than restricting output short of
that need" as Brannan explains it.
It's intention, also, is to bring
farmers purchasing power to a

Scroll Given For
Anfi-Bius Work

Los Angeles OPA)-The Los
Angeles branch of the Natl Urban
League-which has long worked to
i mprov job opportunities for
Negroes and members of other
minority groups-last week ack-
nowledged the anti-discrimination
work of the Los Angeles Central
Labor Council-AFL.
Council Secretary w. j. Bassett
was presented with a scroll honor
ing his work in COMMUNICATIVE
intercultural relations programs.
Joint Council No. AZ of the lnt'l
Brotherhood of Teamsters-AFL
also received recognition for its
fight to eliminate discriminatory

panies have been charging truck

More DecontroIs,
Rent Boosts Are
Allowed By Woods

Washington QPA)-While ten
ants and landlords alike awaited
some hint as to what the ''fair re-
turn" to landlords guarantee in the
1949 rent law might mean, Hous-
ing Expediter Tighe Woods last
week cleaned up more than 100 de-
control actions affecting about
148,000 rent units.
These decontrol orders, taken by
Woods with the promise to Con-
gressmen that he will recontrol the
areas if rents skyrocket, do not
mean that the local rent advisory
boards go out of existence.
In another action last week,
Woods granted landlords in many
eastern Massachusetts commun-
tiles and in Boston the right to
petition for Hardship" rent in
creases as a result of local tax in
creases. Landlords can get as much
as an 89o rent increase in Boston,
and varying amounts ranging from
29o up to 17%6 in other cities and
towns.

Strikers Given
Wage Increases

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). =
AFL pressmen and stereotypers
employed on Washington's A daily
newspapers won wage increases
and other concessions following a
3-day strike during which the
papers were not published.
Under new contracts signed with
the publishers, the pressmen and
stereotypers get an increase of Sc
a week over the present contract,
effective on the expiration of their
contracts. The pressmen's contract
ran out Feb. 7, while the stereo-
typers expired last Dec. 1. The
pressmen also will get an addition
al 81 a week, beginning next Nov.
l, while the stereotypers will re-
ceive an additional $3.50 on the
same date.
Members of both unions who
have had more than 5 years of SER
vice on Washington newspapers
will get a 3-week vacation begin
ming this year, instead of in 1850,
as the publishers proposed. Both
unions wants adjustments in hours,
in the case of the pressmen the
work week being reduced from
3712 hours to 36H hours.

Government Pact
Minimum Set AT
S1.O5 In Woolen

Washington (LPA)-Labor Sec
retary Tobin's ruling that firms
employing workers on government
contracts in the woolen and worst
ed industry must pay minimum
wage of S1.05 an hour has beer
hailed by unionists who are fight
ing hard to persuade Congress to
pass a 75c to 81 minimum wage
law.
The S1.05 minimum was SET
after hearings at which unions
presented evidence that S1.05 is
the prevailing rate in the industry
The Public Contracts Act requires
the Labor Secretary to set mini
mum wages for government con-
tracts. The action was taken on
the petition of the Textile Workers
Union of America and after hear
ings before wage-hour officials at
which TWUA and the United
Textile Workers-AFL both argued
for the $1.05 figure.
81 hope that Congress, in con-
sidering the minimum wage bill
and the Taft-Hartley repeater, will
show the same good sense as the
Secretary of Labor" commented
TWUA President Emil Rieve on
hearing of the Tobin order.
"This is going to mean that
chiseling employers will be forced
to raise wages if they want to take
advantage of the work offered by
the government under public con
tract" President Anthony Valente
of UTW-AFL pointed out. He add
ed that it made the present 4Oc
under the Fair Labor
Standard Act look "more ridiculous
than ever"

Payroll Deduction
Plan To Eliminate
Plant Soliciting

Sebring, Ohio-A plan to elm
mate plant solicitation has beer
worked out at the Limoges China
Co. between employees Of the firm
and plant officials. Under the new
set up $500 will be deducted from
each employee, twice a year, April
and October, and placed in a gen
eral fund to cover all contributions.
Throughout the year when solicit
tations are made for the March of
Dimes, Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, Rotary Play, Cancer Fund
and American Heart Association,
the Board Of Trustees will meet
and allocate to the various organ
izations such gifts as would seem
in keeping with their needs and in
proper proportion with the funds.
The organization was composed
at a meeting on March 28 at which
time the following officers and
trustees were elected: Andreas
Zeides, president; Albert Dukem,
first vice president; Michael Daley,
second vice president; Evelyn
Flowers, treasurer, and F. G. Mills,
secretary.
A Constitution and Bylaws
committee was named with Chester
Brunt as chairman and includes
Virginia Minesinger, Albert Duke,
Guy Barcus and James Turner.

Cambridge Potters
Only Getting Part
Time Employment

Cambridge, Ohio-Production at
the three plants of Universal is
low with No. l practically shut
down and No. 3 on less than full
time. Readjustment of orders and
a large stock of ware is respon-
sible for this showdown.
Although work is not too brisk
our local meetings continue to be
fairly well attended and very in
teresting. Our Legislative commit
tee is very active and are carrying
the ball for a lot of us in contact
ing state and national representa-
tives and congressman urging
prompt action on bills favorable to
the working people Of the country.
1t has been pointed out that foreign
made articles are appearing more
and more on store counters. This
is taking wages out of the pockets
of American workers and our gov
ernment should take steps to
abolish such business.
Frank Campbell is able to be up
and hobble around after seige in
a local hospital and was back at
his chair as president of our local.
He announced that a movement
was underway by the Central Labor
body to organize a day nursery
for children of working people.
James Coffey was called upon to
appear on our local radio station
to give talk on the subject. James
is always ready, willing and able.
The general shop committee met
with the officials of the firm last
Saturday to iron out several pro-
blems.
We were saddened last week to
hear of the passing away of Har-
vey Wyland, jiggerman, who died
at his home in Coshocton. To the
family, the local members extend
their deepest sympathy.-O.C. 122

L. Greco Succeeds
Cook As President
Of Local Union 50

Beaver Falls, Pa. L eonard
Greco was elected president OF
Local Union 33, succeeding Floyd
Cook who resigned. Robert Brown
was named vice president and
Chester Fisher and Lester Smith
form the new shop committee.
The local is considering a new
location for our meetings and
many are of the opinion that we
should hold our meeting in New
Brighton as many of our members
live in that section. Further dis
cussion on the matter will be held
at our next meeting.
We read in the Herald where
some of the shops are not working
very steady and employees are
only getting two or three days a
week. This is not the case at the
Mayer China Co. who have been
rolling along in fine style on full
week schedule.
Bro. Peter Brunak is a patient
in the hospital and Bro. Ira Rhodes
is confined to his home by illness.
Our best wishes for their speedy
recovery.
Some of our members who never
find time to attend a meeting seem
to be of the opinion that the local
is not serious in assessing fines on
absentees. A motion was passed at
our last meeting that all fines must
be paid by next meeting or the
members will face suspension.
Sister Nataline Rossi who has
been confined in a Pittsburgh Hos
pital for several months, has re-
turned to her home where she is
convalescing nicely. We will be
glad to see her back in the shop
soon. -O.C. 33

Franco sympathizers in the US,
who last year advised every citizen
that "if what happened in Spain
and France happens here" he
should possess himself of one or
more guns, making sure that they
are in good condition, that he and
other members of his family know
how to use them, and that he has
a reasonable supply of ammuni-

Robert Jackson, now Supreme
Court Justice, "a modern protes-

Griffths, who has been with
NEG for more than two years, had
made a previous appearance before
a Congressional committee to OPP

Extension Service in the Labor
Dept. But this was his first chance

democratic doctrine be expounded
at length. There are two ways

Wants Stronger Wdge-Hour
Low To Protect Unorqdnized

Washington (LPA)-The Senate
subcommittee which is to draw up
1949 improvements in the Fair
Labor Standards Act was urged
last week by AFL spokesman Wal
ter Mason to make their version
considerably stronger than the one
that barely passed the House
Labor Committee earlier in this
session.
Mason emphasized that the AFL
considers the 75c minimum set in
the Administration bill introduced
by Sen. Ebert Thomas ID, Utah)
as the figure most likely to pass,
and expressed the hope "that the
statutory minimum will be raised
to 81 an hour in the very near
future by the industry committees
set up by the bill" He opposed the
provision in the bill that the indus
try committees could lower the
figure to 75c.

guilty of violating that part of the
anti-union statute which forbids a
union to conduct a boycott in sup

Another IBT Bridgeport affiliate

labor practice" by the trial exam

New Schedule For
Meetings of Local
SO In California

Richmond, Calif.-The members
of Local Union 50 have finally set
tied their meeting nights. In the
future meetings will be held on the
first and third Monday Of each
month in the large hall at the AFL
Labor Temple in Richmond.
Vice President Sal Freschi pre-
sided at our last meeting in the
absence of President Rex Morgan
A fine turnout was on hand and
many important matters were dis
cussed and steps taken to cope
with the various problems.
The shop committees are doing
swell job, being called upon con-
stantly to iron out grievances. The
loss court committee meets every
Monday after work to rule on any
piece in dispute.
The sick committee is holding its
own with Bro. Otto Baar and his
aides always on the job to aid any
unfortunate brother who happens
to have a long seige of illness OF
some other misfortune. The mem
bers of Local 80 believe and always
have in aiding one another in times
of distress.
In the sports circle, Bro. Woody
Gallagher and his committee held
one of the most successful affairs
in years when they arranged q
dinner dance for members of the
bowling league and the wives and
sweethearts of the keglers. With
plenty of good food and a union
orchestra, the affair went over in a
big way. The Four Jacks won the
league title closely paced by the
Sleepers.
Bro. Paul Cook aided by Rex
Morgan organized a baseball team
with plenty of good talent turning
out for the first practice session.
They succeeded in getting spon-
sor and have high hopes for the
team.
Br. Ray Landucci has entered his
golf team of potters in the indus
trial league and have made a
creditable showing to date.
Bro. Tony Frey found it neces-
sary to have a leg amputated quite
some time ago. Mr.. Albert Adcock,
plant manager at the time promis-
ed Tony a good job when he was
ready to return to the shop. We
feel sure our present manager,
Bill Mckinney will be of the same
opinion.
With contract time upon US once
more the feeling seems to be that
the company can well afford to in
crease our wages and provide a
decent retirement plan for the
people whose labor has made such
a prosperous company. We sincere

Workers on commercial-type
farms should certainly be protect
ed by the wage floors set under
the Fair Labor Standards Act,
Mason maintained. He expressed
the profound disappointment" Of
the AFL that neither the House
Committees bill nor Sen. Thomas
bill includes these workers and in
fact expressly exempts t h e m.
"These workers are, if anything,
more in need of legislative protec-
tion than industrial workers." he
said. "Our proposal is that farms
with over 800 man-days of hired
farm labor in any calendar quarter
of the year should be covered under
the minimum wage requirement of
the law. The effectiveness of this
proposal can be indicated by the
fact that while it would affect only
2% of all farms and only AZ Of

Fewer Home Units
Started In March

Washington (LPA)-Proof that
the Scream" has been skinned by
the home building industry, and
that medium and low-income fami-
lies just aren't able to afford homes
was seen in two sets Of figures
made public last weekend by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The number of non-farm dwell
ing units started in March was
1870 under the number started in
March a year ago, according to
BIS. Average construction cost
(not sale price and not including
land) rose 1870 between 1916 and
1949, to $7875. The 1948 total of
homes started, also just made pub
lie, was 931 300 units, a 23-year re-
cord exceeded only by the 937, 900
unit peak in 1925.
Meanwhile, BIS also reported
that the number of workers en-
ployed in the contract construction
industry showed practically no
change between February and
March.
Usually" according to BIS re-
port, "March marks an upturn in
new construction activity. The ap-
parent standstill in employment
this March may be attributed to
several factors. First, March ex-
penditure increases (reflecting
work actually done) were moder-
ate or non-existent in those types
of construction ordinarily requir-
ing the largest proportion of con-
struction workers, notably private
nonfarm housing and privately fin
anced nonresidential building"

Washington (LPA) - Scrap the
social security program, which Is
economic quackery', and substi-
tute for it reduced taxes, so that
industry can distribute higher pro-
fits, ard so that people "can save
for their old age" The full employ
ment bill is economic quackery'
and should be scrapped too.
That's the prescription spelled
out by DR.. H. M. Griffith at the
hearings before the House Ways
& Means Committee which is con-
sidering extending the whole Tru-
man program of better insurance
for all Americans against poverty
in old age, joblessness, and disabil-
ity.

viously taught church history at

from these splinter groups.
