Labor argued for 'two-package approach; we want

Union Security Proves Its Value

We hope that plenty of Congressman, plenty of radio
commentators plenty of industrial relations will read
the story about 80 of good labor relations at the
Hickey Freeman Co. in Rochester, N. Y.
The AmaIgamated Clothing Workers organized Hickey
Freeman in 1918 It's been happy relationship ever since
The union and the company both deserve lot of praise and
we're glad to that the National Planning Association has
issued fine study union encouragement relations at the
company.
We like the mutual respect the improvements for work
and management the attitude Of cooperation that the
NPA study so clearly reveals.
lot of people it to themselves to read the Hickey
Freeman story In particular hope that those politicians
who prone to blame all the ills of the world on the
closed shopor any other form of union securitywl
read it with particular attention.
For it shows that union security is the strong founda
ton of good relations at HckeytIeeman And that's what
unions have been saying for long time.

Price Outlook Better

The living cost outlook for workers is much better
than at any time since the Production is catching
with demand and competition is coming back-not in Just
few industries here and there, but in many industries
throughout the country The shortage of buying
is being elt consumers resisting high prices
Consequently prices beginning to down. wholesale
prices weakening declining in such basic items as
foods cotton and rayon textiles and clothing lumber heavy
fuel oil, chemicals, paper, soap, and rubber.
Many price declines already being passed on to con-
sumers. Workers beginning to find lower prices for
foods made from grains Cereals bread etc., milk butter
dairy products house furnishings mems and womens cot
and rayon clothing, second hand automobiles We may
expect better quality in furniture if prices do not de-
cline at once Shoes still high because Argentina ask

but better quality shoes coming on the market

Planning And Control

In his breezy and "of-the-cu chat with the National
Planning Association President Truman must have given
comfort to many of citizens by showing his familiarity
with the great depreSSons which have from time to time
laid low productive system 1t is fine thing for the
occupant of the White House to have these tragedies in
mind and to be set against any return engagements He is
correct in saying that prevention be accomplished only
by such national planning contemplated in the Employ
ment Act of 1916
The President objects to using the term control in
this connection How plan without degree of
government control is little difficult to figure out But the
problem after ALL is not of semantcs If President Iu
is able to orestal, evade prevent, get without
depression the people of this country will not be inclined
to worry over-much either about the the words
which he employs.

Film Version or
Anna lucasia"
Drops Negro Theme

HOLLYWOOD. March &c. CA
NP) Gamma Lucasta", the
Broadway hit show about a Ne
gro prostitute, has undergone some
alterations for its Forthcoming
Greer version by Columbia pic
lures, it was disclosed here last
week. Instead of the drama be-
ing about Negroes, it is now
about whites.
Originally, the play was about
Polish-Americans. 1t was written
in 1886 BY Philip JORDAN, out of
his experiences and people he
knew when he was in law prac-
tice. When he failed to get the
play produced on Broadway, an
amateur group in Harlem put it
on. The production Immediately
drew prais from top critics and
was taken to Broadway in 1914
by John Wildberg.
The drama was never a Negro
in the usual razor-toting, dice
shooting stereotype. The charac-
tiers were depicted as real people.
As a matter of fact, Yordan did
not change a word of dialogue or
the names of the characters for
the Negro cast.
In the film version, Miss Paul
cite. Goddard plays the leading
role, under the guise of a wait
ress. Broderick Crawford, Oscar
Homolka and other actors make
up the supporting cast.
Yordan revealed also that his
next Hollywood assignment will
be writing the screen version of
mo Way Out" for Goth Century
Fox. 1t is a picture about Ne
groes.

BY the A.soeioisd Press

HONOLULU. June ga fact
finding board seeking to end
Hawaii's 60-day longshore strike

A spokesman for the 1000
stevedores of the International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union (CIO) indicated re-
lection. Operators Of the islands
seven stevedoring firms haven't
said whether they do or not.
Neither Is bound to accept the
recommendations. The board said
1t must rely on public opinion to
convince the parties. II they are
not inclined to accept the recon-
nfendations. that it offers a basis
for settlement which under all the
circumstances can be accepted by
them as a service to the COM
munity."
Employers Offered IL Cents.
The ILWU wants raise of 80
cents. The present scale is $1.40
an hour. That would shove the
pay up to where 1t used to be
10 cents under the Pacific Coast
scale.
Employers at first offered IL
cents. They withdrew the offer
when Gov. Ingram M. Stainback
set up the five-man board.
Late yesterday the board recon-
mended:
A 14-cent increase in the basic
hourly wage, with cents to be
retroactive to March /. That was
the wage reopening date under the
contract.
A vote by the union member
ship-under supervision of the
territorial Department of Labor

Negotiation of other issues "in
the light Of the agreement reached
on the basic rates" This would
include dock work when ships are
not in port and outside depart
ment rates.

basis" The board suggested this
could be either an "all public body
or tripartite committee" repre-
senting labor, management and
the public.
Acting Gov. Oren E. Long gave
both sides until 8 am. Friday to
reply to the boards recommen-
dations.
Fred Low. jr., ILWU Strike

vited the board to explain its
findings to a union meeting at 3
