Labor Dissatisfied With
Plans For Repeal Of TIL

Senate till late in the session, with
labor subject to Taft-Hartley pro-
secutions in the meantime, and
lot of politicing about the exact
provisions of a new labor relations
statute.
Meanwhile Rep. Lesinski, while
agreeing that Wagner act reen-
actment should have priority in
the House committee, announced
that his group will consider amend
ments TO the act now, so that re-
peal of TIL, reinstatement of the
Wagner act, and its amendment
can all be achieved in zone pack
age"
Labor opposes this plan, on the
grounds that sound amendments to
the Wagner act are more likely to
emerge after it has been restored,
than in the course of political man.
uevering by pro and anti-union
legislators about a zone package"
deal. Furthermore, the unio
spokesman want showdown vote
on Taft Hartley repeal. 1t was one
of the hot issues of the election
campaign, they point out, and labor
has right to a clearcut vote from
the Congress on such a vital ques-
tion.
Most union leaders, however, re-
iterated last week their willingness
to help work out amendments to
the Wagner act, to insure protec-
ton of the public interest in indus
trial disputes, along the general
lines suggested by President Tru-
man in his state of the union mess

WheatIey Installs
New Officers AT
Local Union No. 45

Trenton, N. J.-Local Union 45
got off to a fine start in the new
year with record attendance on
hand for our first session in 1919.
With several serious problems to
be taken up on the evenings
agenda, the members in the true
spirit of unionism, sensed the nee
essity of meeting the issues at
hand and joined with their fellow
benchmates in discussing the pro
blems in the proper manner and
place-union meeting.
First Vice President Wheatley
attended the meeting and was call
ed upon to install the officers for
the new term. President George
Pearson Jr. in taking over the
gavel cited the many problems con-
fronting US and urged the support
of the entire membership in aiding
the new officers to carry out the
duties of their respective Offices.
Bros. AL Martzluft, Ed. Barrett,
Reno Fausti, Walter Wasielewski,
Ed. Baker, Ralph Conte, Joseph
Snyder, Tom Dennis, Jr., James
Cartledge, Mike Soloy, Frank Civ
inski, and James Birch Jr. were
named on the shop committee.
Mould shop problems were
thoroughly aired and turned over
to the Conference Committee along
with closet conveyor headaches
which were left in the hands of a
committee from that department.
Another matter of very serious
nature was given consideration and
it was decided to reverse a motion
which was passed a few weeks ago.
The local was in sympathy with
the original motion and feel very
keenly the reason behind it, but de-
cided to go along patiently until
it can be remedied.
We were delighted to read in
the Herald the splendid reports
from Evansville, Warrington, Bay
Ridge, Federated Metals and other
locals and shops. Especially so as
we know from very practical ex-
perience that what is good for one
is good for all and that very few
employers want to be behind the
national trend.
We hope that our Brotherhood
will heal its internal troubles in
1949 and our Executive Board and
all factions will consider and re-
their actions and decis-
ions of the past few years and do
all in their power to build up a
healthier and stronger body.
Again may we stress the local is
each individual member and when
we criticize it we are criticizing
ourselves. Also let us remember we
may be wrong and the majority
right.
Yours for unity, strength and

Local Union No. 4
List Officers For
Next Six Months

Local Union No. a had another
fine turnout at their meeting OF
January 10. Some say the increase
in attendance is due to the recen
trouble within the organization.
Bro. Shell Johnson installed the
following officers for the next 81,
months: President, Fletcher Will
Jams; vice president, George Brunt
financial secretary, Glenn Mccall
recording secretary, John Arnold
inspector, Jack Harris; guard
Floyd Buxton; trustee, Roy Mask
erS.
President Williams in accepting
the gavel, asked for the coopera-
tion of all members and stated that
to the best of his ability Local I'm
ion No. 4 will function in strict
accordance with the constitution
He hoped the next six months will
see unity among the casters and
also better working conditions and
more work.
Quite a few heart warming let
ters were received from disabled
casters, showing their gratitude
for the Christmas checks which
the local sends out every year, to
try and make the Yuletide season
a little more pleasant for our un-
fortunate brothers.
One of the cold timers" Dennis
Denny McCurran has finally de-
cided to lay up his tools and retire.
His request for honorary mem
bership was granted. We wish Bro.
McCurran the best of luck and
health.
Due to new furnace being in
stalled at headquarters, the men,
bers have had to sit with their
overcoats on at our last two meet
ings. However, we have had some
heated discussions that have help
ed to keep us warm.
Following a lively discussion, a
motion was passed instructing
President Williams to appoint an
O.C. Some members voiced the
opinion that we did not need an
O.C. as letters sent into the
Herald were not published if they
did not coincide with the views of
President Duffy and the Executive
Board.
Bro. Frank Dales stated that to
the best of his knowledge, no let
ters sent by the O.C. from No. A
had been refused space in the

voted by this Congress, the recon-
mendations of the majority do not
contain sufficiently far-going inn
provements in the present state
federal system. Employees are be-
ing asked to share half the costs
of employment insurance with NO
assured gain in return. No federal
benefits standards are established,
altho the recommendation on dis
qualifications would mean improve
ment. Extension of coverage is
certainly desirable, tho not to fed
eral employees on a state basis.
Certain minor advances in admin
istration are more than offset by
the proposal that funds be given
the states for administrative pur-
poses over and above congression-
al appropriations, thus confusing
budgetary problems and weaken
ing the federal agency in its efforts
to improve state programs"

FILIBUSTER SEEN
ON THE WAY OUT

w a h hington (LPA)-The
Senate filibuster, a technique
used in moments of serious dis
pute to prevent consideration or
vote on important matters, will
soon be a thing of the past.
Now before the Senate Rules
Committee are nearly a dozen
proposals intended to change
Senate rules so that members
of that body can't hold up all
business by talking indefinitely.
Sen. Wayne Morse Or, Ore. J
is proposing three changes in
the rules, and another measure
has been given jointly to the
committee by its chairman, Carl
Hayden Cd, Ariz.) and Sen.
Kenneth Wherry OR, Nebr.), the

Norwegian Union Leaders
Hdil Marshall Plun Aid

Washington (LPA) Stopping
over in Washington on their way
to visit American factories in the
east coast and middle western
regions, seven leading Norwegian
trade unionists last week acknow
lodged the part that Marshall plar
aid is playing in rebuilding Nor.
ways economy. American aid il
vital too in maintaining full en-
ployment in the labor-governeo
d e ocracy, the Scandinavian'
pointed out.
Chairman of the delegation is
Haakon Lie, former secretary OF
the Norwegian Federation of La
Dor, and currently general secre-
tary of the Labor party, which has
majority in parliament. Lie who
also speaks English fluently, acts
as spokesman for his colleagues
They include the presidents of the
paper workers union, and the Oslo
Federation of Labor, an engineer
on the staff of the Norwegian Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, and representa-
tives of the aluminium workers un-
ion, the confectionery workers un-
ion and the sheetmetal workers un-
ion.
"When the Marshall plan was
first proposed a number of Nor
wegian workers were suspicious of
it," Lie revealed. They had been
subjected to a barrage of Commun-
its propaganda which declared that
America would not really deliver
the goods, but would interfere in
Norway's domestic affairs.
"But now," he said, "the plan is
in operation. The workers can see
that American equipment is being
sent to them, and that no attempt
is being made to interfere in our
internal affairs. The Marshall plan
has become a powerful weapon in
our hands with which to counteract
Communist maneuvers," Lie assert
ed.
Recently trade unionists, most
of whom are members of the La
Dor party, have driven the Com
out of the trades councils,
Lie disclosed, and have deprived
them of influence in all but one
union-the traditionally
conservative bricklayers.
When the Nazis invaded Norway
the resistance forces managed to
save the country's gold reserves,
Lie said. Then during the war the
merchant fleet, which
sailed for the allies, accumulated
credits for the nation abroad. These
reserves were used when Norway
was liberated to commence the re-
construction job, and permitted the
early establishment of full employ
ment.
But, towards the end of 1947
these assets were exhausted, the
labor leader explain
ed, and serious threats to recovery
and employment standards loomed.
But then in mid-1948 Marshall plan
assistance began to arrive, and
altho living standards have not ad-
the Labor government has
been enabled to go ahead with its
economic programs and social re-
form.
Without the Marshall plan, Lie
there would be serious
in Norway's shoe
and textile industries and in the
trades.
Norway's political and industrial
abor movement is doing all it can,
Lie disclosed, to show that the
Communist charge that the Mar
shall plan is "a Wall Street plot"
S "the biggest lie of the century"
Altho surprised at President
rruman's reelection, Norwa
workers cheered when they heard
he news, Lie said. He remarked
hat the one person he knew who
predicted a Democratic victory was
/ union man who'd worked in the
Us in the early '30s. "After that

0oU persons IN It's New Castle
plant, $50 at Camden and 270 at
Redlands, is the country's third
largest producer of vitreous china
lavatories and closet combinations.
The Rumble Manufacturing Com
pany, employing 500 persons in it's
Milwaukee plant and $50 at Cam
den, produces enameled cast iron
kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
In announcing the merger, Mr..
McAfee stated, "The merger serves
to complement the production of
each of the two companies, and
makes them part of a five-plant,
coast-to-coast organization. The
new company will produce a full
line of bathroom equipment, includ-
ing lavatories, bathtubs, closet
combinations, kitchen sinks and re-
lated items. No change in sales
policy or distribution is contem-
plated. Universal Rundle has de-
veloped merchandising plans in
keeping with this new full line
through established trade chan
nels."
The Universal Sanitary Manu-
featuring Company was founded in
1901 by C. j. Kirk and a group of
associates, and was one of the first
plants to make vitreous china ware
West of the Alleghenies. Six years
after its founding, the company
perfected and patented the unit
cast" method of making vitreous
fixtures, thus eliminat-
ing the many-piece units previous
ly pressed by hand in the typical
closet bowl fixture. In 1915 it in
troduced the continuous tunnel
liln for firing sanitary fixtures,
and was first to develop to full
scale production the modern high
fired process.
Other "firsts" for the company
are the use of colored vitreous
china for bathroom fixtures, and
the rim-jet principle of quieter and
more positive flushing.
In 1889 Universal introduced
into the industry modern
straight-line production system of
which greatly speed
ed up the output of fixtures. In
l941 it put the vitreous china
kitchen sink on the market. In
l943, when iron was in short sup
ply, the company was the first to
produce a bathtub of non-critical
yitreous china.
Since the war Universal has ex-
banded, changed many of its pro-
iuction methods, and increased it's
output. New straight-away con-
yeyors were installed with mechan-
cal aids to eliminate manual labor
necessary in the manu-
'acture of bowls. Sink and tank
were heightened and
.hain dryer introduced which made
possible the complete drying of the
,ulk of production in 80 hours in
stead of the 72 to 100 previously

Congress in the coming year.
'In this society we are conserv
which We cherish; but we are +
values and principles and in ex.
tending their benefits" the Pres
ident told Congress. "We have re-
jected the discredited theory that
the fortunes of the nation should
be in the hands Of privileged few
We have abandoned the 'trickle-
down concept of national prosper
ity."
His specific proposals, as made
in the address and in his economic
report sent up later in the week,
; are:
Ito Combat Initiation and Pro-
mote Production:
Continue controls over in
stallment buying, and enlarge bank
credit controls.
2-Authorize regulation of spec
ulation on commodity exchanges.
3-Continue export controls with
adequate enforcement machinery.
4-Continue transportation pior-
tiles and ALLEGATIONS.
5-Authorize priorities and al
locations for key materials in short
supply.
6-Extend and strengthen rent
control.
7L"Provide standby authority to
impose price ceilings for scarce
commodities which basically affect
essential industrial production or
the cost of living, and to limit un-
justified wage adjustments which
would force a break in an estab-
lished price ceiling"
8-"AuthOrize an i m m d G
study of the adequacy of produc-
tion facilities for materials in
critically short supply, such as
steel; and, if found necessary, to
authorize government loans for
the expansion Of production facil-
tiles to relieve such shortages and
to authorize the construction of
such facilities directly if action by
private industry fails to meet our
needs"
9-Maintain a budget surplus
thru 81 billion additional taxes in
1949, mainly obtained from corpor-
ate profits, higher social security
contributions, and perhaps higher
income taxes for middle and upper
income families.
Ito Protect the Victims of
Inflation: ..
Increase. the minimum wage
to 75c an hour, and higher on an
industry basis.
2-Raise benefits under social
security program to meet cost of
living. -
3-lmprove public assistance for
relief. -,
IlI-To Promote Balance Econ
omic Growth:
develop n atural resources,
protect tidelands oil, expand public
power facilities, start St. Lawrence
waterway and power project, be-
gin river valley development plan
ming.
2-Map out a long range farm
program, geared to a full-employ-
ment economy, with farm living
standards as high as those of city
people.
3-Housing legislation aimed at
obtaining 100000 units of low
rent housing in seven years, plus
the rest of the housing bill discard
!, ed in the last session, and use of
)allocation authorities if necessary
to get building materials.
4-Strengthen antitrust laws.

DETERMINATION of Tires

When a tire is underinf1ated. the
cars weight distorts the normal
contour of the tire body. The tire
bulges, or "bellies out" with an
extreme f1exing action. This gen.
crates excessive internal heat,
weakening the cord and resulting
in bruises or broken cords. Too,
underinlation leads to rim bruises.
insufficient resistance is provided
to prevent the tire from being
damned against the rim and
crushed OF cut when the tire strikes
a curb, rock, or rut.
