Merchant NAVY
Plan Submitted
T o Congress

Washington (LPA) - New Con-
gressmen looking for specific
guides to sound public policy won't
have any trouble when they begin
considering plans for the merchant
marine. Waiting for them when
they arrived in Washington was
the CLOS report on the merchant
marine policy, prepared by Mari
time Committee Secretary Hoyt
Haddock.
The committee said that the
merchant marine act of 1886 must
be restored as the basis of shipping
policy. 1t is critical of more recent
congressional measures as replac-
ing incentives for better manage
ment with incentives for financial
manipulation and connivance."
Poor management by shippers
and shipbuilders, as well as public
neglect, are blamed by the Mari
time Committee for the decline of
the merchant navy from its war
time peak. High overhead costs,
lack of aggressiveness in going
after business, and stupidity in Ia
Dor relations are set forth as en-
ployers' prime errors.
Among the Legislative recon-
mendations of the body are: in
creased appropriations and guar
anteed steel ALLEGATIONS for ship
building, a requirement that sub
sidized lines build vessels necess-
ary to maintain their lines, return
of ships under military control to
private operation, guarantee the
right of seamen to strike in port,
and other improvements in mer-
chant marine personnel policy.
The committee also reiterated
the labor movements objections to
Economic Cooperation Admins
traitor Paul Hoffman's suggestion
for relaxing the requirement that
500 of Marshall plan cargo be
shipped in American bottoms.

Orgdnizdtiondl Problems
Crucial For New Conuress

The trouble springs from the
fact that while the Democrats will
control the Rules Committee eight
to four, two of the majority mem
bers are nti-Trumanites-Reps
Eugene Cox of Georgia and How.
ard Smith of Virginia-who will
surely vote with the Republicans
against pro-labor administration
measures.
BY voting with the COP, the
two Dixiecrats could prevent legis-
lation called for in the Democratic
party's platform from reaching the
floor-unless the number of sigma
lures required to get bill to a
vote over Rules Committee opposi-
tion is lowered.
The Committees veteran liberal
chairman, Rep. Adolph SABBATH ID,
ILL.,, wants the number of Demo-
Gratis on the committee increased
to assure a pro-administration maj
ority.
Biggest fight is expected to come
over these two approaches to the
Rules Committee stickler, and on
the Democratic additions to the
Ways & Means Committee. A sharp
divergence of opinion exists be-
tween conservative Democrats and
pro-labor Congressman over who
shall get two or three of the avail
able six seats.
Rep. Sam Rayburn Cd, Tex.), a
southerner who stuck with the Pre-
sident, is sure to be elected Speak
er of the House. Last week he said
that "thereIl be just one kind of
Democrat" in this Congress. The
back-stage liberal VS.. conservative
jostling for committee balances
hardly supported his hope, how
ever.
Over in the Senate ali the visit
full longings of liberal Republicans
for more voice in party policy col
lapsed when the redesignation of
Sen. Kenneth Wherry
as minority floor leader was clinch-
ed. There are too few liberal Re-
publicans in the House to even
raise the issue there.

ECONOMIC ADVISORS REPORT
SUGGESTS WAGE-PRICE PARLEY

Washington (LPA) A confer
ence of labor, management, agri.
culture and public Representatives
to set up wage and price standards
for a healthy economy, was sug-
gested by the Presidents economic
advisors last week.
"a wage structure in relation to
prices that will maintain the pro-
ducing power of industry and the
buying power of labor in sound
proportion" is essential to avoid
economic breakdowns, the Council
of Economic Advisors declared in
its Third Annual Report.
Occasional strikes, the econom-
lists pointed out, may do less long
run damage to the economy than
is done by settlements which "do
not reflect the economic require
ments for sustained general pros
perity but reflect only the relative
strength of the parties" This is
what labor has been saying for the
past two years when it went into
negotiations seeking wage raises
without disastrous price rises. 1t
is what union representatives have
been saying when they warned
that corporations cannot continue
to take exhorbitant profits without
inviting eventual economic collapse.
The Council of Economic Ad-
visors was set up under the En-
ployment Act of 1916 to study the
functions of the national economy
and report to the President on
economic problems. It's members
are Edwin G. Nourse, Leon H. Key
serling and John d. Clark
One of the policies of the Coun-
Gil is that the terms of labor con-
tracts shall be left to the voluntary
action of management and labor.
Labor and management, this res
port asserts, have both been OPP
posed to government intervention

Chemical Workers
Win Concessions

st. Louis (LPA) A II hour
stoppage of all activity won gains
for the United Chemical Workers
in strike against the Laclede Gas
Light Company at st. Louis, Mo.

The three locals involved won a
13c across-the-board raise, time
and half for Sunday and double
time-and-a-half for holidays, here
tofore unprecedented in the St.
Louis area.
All pay increases gained are re-
troactive to July 1, 1948, and there
are promises that severance pay
plans will be negotiated in the near
future.

Members of LU rs
See Long Sought
Dreams Come True

Kokomo, Ind.-Local No. 26 held
their regular meeting on Dec. IS.
The business at hand was disposed
Of, then officers were elected for
the first half of 1949. They are as
follow: r. A. McCann, president;
Kelsey Wilson, vice president; ;
Robert Bohannon, recording secre-
tary; Harold Snow, financial secre-
tary; A. S. Rutherford, defense
secretary, and James Payne, guard.
The auditing committee has con-
sented to continue their services
for the next six months.
The members Of Local 26 have
seen two Of their long sought
dreams come true in the last
month.
The first of these was Medical
and Hospital Insurance Plan" F"
that will go into effect the latter
part of this month. The older boys
around the plant knows how long
this insurance has been needed.
The second reality Of a dream
to come true was the Christmas
Bonus" That's right, we received
one last year, but this was the first
full year bonus and from some of
the smiles it was very welcome.
We are glad to hear that the
boys on the second floor, south
room of the cast shop, now have a
sink with water piped to it. When
will toilets be installed in conven-
lent locations around the shop?
We hope to see Bros. McCann
and Mccoy off the sick list and
back to work soon.
Happy New Year.-O.C. 26

Standing Committee
Hands Down Ruling

The Generalware S t a d in g
Committee meeting in session
this week handed down their
decision on the following cases
Local Union No. Hall
China Co, East Liverpool, Ohio.
Casting Pot No. 3208.
Sent back to men and the
firm.
Local Union No. 59-LimOges
China Co., Sebring, Ohio.
Kilnfremen's Dispute.
The Standing Committee feels
that the kilnfremen have no
case in their contention that
they get extra pay when firing
the circular kiln when one of
the other kilns is not being fired.
Only when the three kilns are
being fired are the fremen en-
titled to extra pay.

The clay shop has been working
only four days a week for the past
three months, but they were full
days and no serious suffering has
occurred. The shop has been ex-
tensively modernized and health
conditions will be greatly improved
in a very short time, so we say,
"That Everything Will Be Fine in
1949."
Too much credit cannot be given
our two secretaries, Elva Cough
and Lula Reed, financial and de-
fense secretaries respectively, for
the sound financial condition Of our
treasury. Both girls have done an
excellent job and deserve much
credit.
The following are the newly
elected officers for the first six
months of the new year: President,
Floyd (Tally) Lisk; vice president,
Donald Poe; recording secretary,
Martha Hines; financial secretary,
Elva Cough; defense secretary,
Lulu Reed; inspector, Mrs. Weaver;
guard, James Isner; statistician,
Eugene Flanagan; trustee, George
Dowden.
A Happy and Prosperous New
Year to all the members of the Ma
tional Brotherhood Of Operative
Potters and it's officers, and
special wish that we shall find an
early solution for our internal diff
ferences.-O.C SO

: fall on Saturday. Time and one
half pay for Saturday work to all
employees except kiln operators,
and double time pay for Sunday
work with the same exceptions.
The company also stated that on
or about February l, 1949 it will
assume full cost of a group Sick,
! A c ci d t, disqualification and
Death Insurance policy for all its
employees.
Several conferences were held
with company representatives be-
fore final agreement was reached
on the new contract, due to the diff
ficulties encountered by the firm as
result Of the disastrous fire which
practically destroyed the entire
plant in May, 1947. The pottery
has been completely rebuilt and
modernized and is now operating
three tunnel kilns. On each occas-
ion when the committee repre-
sentatives met with the firm, based
on improved production standards,
the company has granted substan-
tial wage adjustments. There are
approximately 130 employees now
on the payroll and company repre-
sentatives believe all the difficult
ties that have confronted them on
resuming operations are reduced
to a minimum and that the new
year will find full production of
high percentage of Al ware as
result of everyone's cooperation
since the plant resumed operations
last February.
The present management of the
Peerless Company is ably headed
by Mr.. H. F. Weaver, president,
who has for many years been
cognizant of the bargaining sys-
tenn practiced by the National Bro
therhood of Operative Potters, and
the Brotherhood in turn has al
ways recognized him as a fair and
understanding employer. He is ably
assisted by Mr.. Laurel Lundquist,
secretary; Charles Weaver, sales
manager and George Rhodes, plant
superintendent. The above named
gentlemen represented the COM
pany during the conferences.
Representing the Brotherhood in
negotiations with the firm were
First Vice President E. L. Wheat
ley, John Stratman, Henry E.
Radigan and Paul E. Schmitt. The
termination date was approved by
Local 72 at a special meeting and
it comedies generally with the maj
ority of the contracts now in effect
in the sanitary branch of the in
dustry.
The members of Local ~ wish
to express their appreciation for
the time, patience and efforts that
have been extended in their behalf
by the negotiating committee,
which now puts their wage earn
ings on par with the rest of the
industry and makes the Peerless
Pottery employees about the high
est earning workers in the Evans
vile area.
Local Union 72 will elect officers
for the first six months of 1949 at
their next regular meeting and all
members are urged to be pre-

Washington (LPA) - First ant
probably the most important jot
that the new Congress will have
to tackle this week is it's own or
ganization. On the solution of this
dilemma hang the hopes of much
of the liberal legislation with which
the Democratic majority was en-
trusted by the voters last Novem-
ber.
In the Senate new rules to avoid
filibusters is, of course, the most
pressing item.
On the House side there are
three problems: the Rules Commit
tees composition, and how to get
around a Rules Committee dead
lock, and the personnel of the
House Ways & Means Committee.
Not only does this latter group
screen revenue bills, but its major
ity party MEMBERSHIP Democrats
determine the majority delega-
tions on all other committees of
IIle I1OuSc. l. Ills IIlcdiiS tilC OCiiiO-
Gratis on the Ways & Means Com
mittee can, thru the assignment of
new Congressman, d erm n e
whether there is a liberal or con-
servative balance on the other
committees.
There are six Democratic vacanc-
les on the Ways & Means Commit
tee now, so the Democratic caucus
can, without disturbing seniority,
add six Truman supporters to the
Committee. whether or not its age
ing conservative chairman Rep.
Robert L. Doughton ID, ,NC) likes
it.
Democratic feeling generally, as
Congress poured into Washington
last weekend, was that the best
way to handle the Rules Commit
tee problem is to decrease. the
number of signatures required to
get a bill onto the floor over the
head of the bottleneck committee.
They said that this would hurt the
feelings of fewer ageing Congress-
men than would tampering with
the Committees membership, and
would accomplish the same net re-
suit.
