Vacation Checks
Distributed To
Garment Workers

New York (LPA)-Nearly 130,-
900 members Of the Int'l Ladies
Garment Workers Union-AFL re-
ceived S5,450,000 worth of vaca-
tion checks last week.
Union business agents went
from shop to shop distributing the
holiday pay. The money came from
the employers-who pay 311% of
their payroll expenses into the
ILGWU's health and vacation
funds.
About half the funds went to
$4,000 members Of locals belong
ing to the Dress Joint Board, and
the rest to $4,000 workers under
the jurisdiction of the Cloak Joint
Board-The ILGWU's two big bar
gaining units in New York. Vaca-
tion payments are based on wage
rates, and the prevailing wage in
the cloak and suit industry is high
er than among the dressmakers.
Central records are kept of each
workers employment, since gar
ment workers may work in as
many as half dozen shops during
a year. This system makes it pos
sible for a worker to receive credit
for all time worked in the industry.
A new phase Of the ILGWU's
social security program got under
way this week too. ILGWU Vice
President Julius Hochman, man
ager of the Dress Joint Board an
nounced that 1000 union members
over the age Of 65 have qualified
for $50 a month pensions. Their
checks are going out this week.
Dress industry employers, under
ILGWU contracts, are setting aside
III of their payrolls in the new
pension fund. 1t is administered by
a joint committee of union and en-
ployer representatives. Harry Twill
Ter, impartial arbitration chairman
of the industry is chairman of the
pension board.

NLRB Seeks Court
Order Against Sea
Union Hiring Hall

New York (LPA)-Negotiations
between Natl Maritime Union and
Atlantic & Gulf Coast ship opera
tors are taking place here under
the shadow of court action con-
cerning the maritime hiring hall.
The hiring hall, keystone of
maritime unions, was ruled illegal
by the NLRB last year when the
ship owners filed charges that it
violated the closed shop provisions
of the Taft Hartley act. Since then
the operators have dropped the
charges, but the NLRB has con-
tinued to prosecute the case.
Last week, the Board asked a
US Circuit Court to enforce its rub
ing that NMU stop operating hir-
ing halls. 1t was the first time since
passage of the Wagner act in 1885
that NLRB sought an enforcement
order against union.
A bill has been introduced into
Congress to exempt hiring halls
from the Taft-Hartley closed-shop
provisions so long as TIL remains
on the books. Meanwhile, it is ex-
pected that any new contract will
contain the present provision con-
tinuing existing hiring hall prac-
tees until there is a ruling on the
matter by the. US Supreme Court.
Other issues being negotiated in
clude wage increases and manning
scales.

Wieseiberg Heads
Luggage Workers

New York OPA)-Samuel Rein
lib, for ten years president of the
Intl Handbag = Luggage Work
ers Union-AFL was retired last
week.
Just before the unions conven-
tion convened in Atlantic City, a
caucus Of nearly all the delegates,
except Reinlib, met and agreed on
a new slate of officers. Reinlib
wasn't on the list. Instead Jack
Wieselberg, manager of large
luggage workers local in New
York was chosen for top spot.
Reinlib's opponents declared that
they don't doubt his competence,
devotion or honesty. But, they say,
he's been too "tyrannical, Dictator
ial and arbitrary"
The ex-president admitted that
he'd been arbitrary on occasion,
but said it was all due to his de-
votion to the union, 81 was some
DICTATOR" he declared. 81 wish it
had been as easy to get rid of Hit
Ter and Mussolini as it was to get
rid of me-"
Two days later AFL President
William Green appeared at the
convention, and had kind words to
say for Wieselberg and the union.
He told the convention that he
thinks a Taft-Hartley repeater ac-
ceptable to the AFL will pass this
session of Congress, and outlined
AFL plans to beat Sen. Robert A.
Taft Or, Ohio) when he comes up
for reelection next year.

manufacturers made even more by
taking cuts in profits on the distri-
button Of the materials through the
various distributing agencies such
as wholesalers and jobbers. Inclus-
ion Of these profits would swell the
total profits by many hundreds of
millions Of dollars a year, the re-
port said.
Analyzing the cause Of the big
profits, the union found they were
not the result Of increased pro-
duction alone because the total
production in 1916 and 1947 was
lower than during the war years
Even in 1913 total production was
lower than in any war year except
1914. In the case Of cotton textile
production, consumption has been
lower during the postwar years
than before the war.
High prices, the report concludes,
resulted in depriving the American
people Of many Of the textiles they
needed. The industry "seized upon
the worldwide fabric shortage
which followed the war to raise
prices so sharply that millions Of
American consumers chose to use
their incomes to greater advantage
in the purchase Of non-textile pro-
ducts. Average prices for textiles
sky-rocketed following the lifting
of price controls, so that prices by
March 1948 were IA per cent high
er than in January, 1916. at is
small wonder, the union com
ments, "that the American people
found themselves priced out Of this
market in so short time"
Public Stops Buying
AS a result Of these high prices,
and despite the accumulated de-
mand for shirts, suits, dresses and
other things of that kind, the pro-
portion Of the consumer dollar
spent for apparel dropped to 81
per cent in 1948, or the lowest
since the depression Of 1888.
"The textile industry, the re-
port concluded, ''is so determined
to reverse its pre-war experiences
Of low earnings that it is forcing
prices to exorbitant levels-a policy
which can only depress the indus
try again and eventually bring
about an economic bust"
But the union concluded that all
hope for averting a depression was
not lost because the industry was
now so well heeled in view Of its
fabulous profits that it could
weather the storm created by its
q n d lgence in unreasonable
prices" "The members Of the in
dustry have brought about the pre-
sent contraction by their pricing
policy" the report said. "The ac-
cumulated high profits permit
them confidently to weather the
temporary lull."
While this story of textile pro-
fits involved only single industry.
it is more or less representative of
industry generally. Almost all in
dustries have a comparable record
in the postwar years. All managers
of industry, all labor leaders, and
all consumers can profit by this
story of what has happened in the
textile industry which priced itself
into depression-at least tempor-
arily.
And all union economists can
profit from this scholarly report by
Barkin and his research depart
ment. Every union should prepare
similar reports on the profits of
its industry-so that the public
and union collective bargaining
representatives will have the ma
terials with which to fight selfish
industrial policies.

Auto Workers To
Meet ChrysIer
On Wage Contract

Detroit (LPA)-Ford Motor Co
of Canada, where talks have been
going on for several weeks now on
the same contract demands United
Auto Workers is seeking from
Ford here, has flatly rejected the
union demands.
Meanwhile, a three-man arbitra-
tion panel has been named to rule
on the question involved in the re-
cent speedup strike at Ford plants
in Dearborn, Mich. Union repre-
sentative on the panel is DR.. Will
lam Gomberg, engineer for Int'l
Ladies Garment Workers-AFL. The
company appointee is Carl T. Dunn
of Albert Raymond Associates.
Third man in the trio is DR.. Harry
Shulman, permanent Ford UAW
umpire.
UAW demands this year include
$100-a-month retirement pensions,
health insurance and a wage in
crease. Representatives of $4,000
Chrysler workers have announced
they will meet in Detroit, June 16
to take action on reopening their
contract. The Chrysler contract
will be open for economic adjust
ments on July Is, same day as
Ford.
Despite the Ford speedup strike,
the auto industry in this country
has produced 100000 passenger
cars this year, a number that
wasn't reached last year until late
July. Almost 10000 vehicles were
lost in the Ford strike, which
shows the high production speed
the auto industry has reached.

Austrian Unions
Pass Up Meeting

Vienna LPA) The executive
council of the Austrian Trade
Union League last week declined
to send representatives to the
Milan meeting of the World Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions. Formal
severance of all ties between the
Austrian unions and the new Com
unist-dominated WFTU is ex-
pected at the Leagues annual con-
gress.
A delegate representing the Lea
que will be present at the Geneva
meeting, late this month, of demo-
cratic trade unions to establish a
new world organization of free
labor.
Vienna, Austria's capital, and
the heart of the Austrian trade
union movement, is largely under
Russian occupation still. But the
Austrian workers have succeeded
in keeping their unions free of
Communist control.

RULE ON STEEL PRICING

Washington LPA)-Labor this
week applauded Senate passage of
a steel-pricing bill introduced by
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney Cd,
Wyo.). The bill was substituted for
a measure which would have given
steel manufacturers a years holi-
day from government prosecution
under the antitrust laws. The
O'Mahoney bill allows freight abb
sorption (basing-point prices) by
individual companies, so long as
they don't violate the trust laws.

Let's get down 10 dots on Science

Science! Hark to the advertise ments! By a scientific" process one cigarette makes us a perfect 36 and another keeps us kissable. List to the news columns! One scientist states that there is no God while taught "where Science ends, Faith begins"
 What conflict! What confusion! What are we unscientific folk to believe? Thank God for our com mon sense. Let's use a bit of it here to clarify matters.
 Theories and facts are not the same. Let's remember that. Sci entistS are mere men - some hon. est, who seek only the truth - others biased, who regard not the truth if it interferes with their pur- poses.
 The true scientist proclaims sci entific facts only when they can be proved. The pseudo-scientist, under the prestige of university degree, by wave of his hand changes mere theories and guesses into Scientific Facts teaches them to his students, and. if sen sational enough, finds a ready market for them in the modern press of Modern Thought"
 Let us laugh at the scientific" advertisements; but let us deplore and denounce the pseudo-scientist who would cast God Almighty from the heavens without the slightest semblance of knowledge, cause, or proof, and substitute for His wor- ship, a cult of self-creation, self adoration, immortality, and de-

This columniSt cannot refrain from a comment on the special election held Thursday, the results of which are published elsewhere in the Record"
 By actual count there are 332 registered voters, which cannot be more than 50 per cent of the eligi- ble voters in Seward. It is amazing the number of people who had either forgotten to register, or who believed themselves registered for this year, but were not, and the duly registered. voters who failed to cast a ballot.
 The sales tax which waS passed by the few who voted quite pos sibly would have been affected by a larger vote, because it barely reached majority. For those who opposed the tax, they can blame themselves for remaining away from the polls. The people who favored the measure should note the narrow margin by which it was passed, actually a margin of eight votes and take heed in future cleo tions.
 One often hears "Oh well, my one little vote will never be missed" or words to the same ef- feet. A close analysis of this cleo tion or any other soon proves how wrong that is. One vote, like one grain of sand or little drops of water, soon build up a volume that can change the pattern of an elec- tlon, the weight of box or the contents of can. The latter simile reminds me of the small can I put under drip in my roof last week it overflowed before morning.
 1 met a woman today who did not even know that there had been an election yesterday. She does not buy the local newspaper because 'it is not worth a dime" The fact that other papers contain no Sew ard news did not concern her, she SN'S AiAoiS PoPCI 1Ol llle IIlOIlcy, which may have more value than news.
 How many others live under Seward roofs, walk Seward streets, call upon Seward Fire and Police Departments, earn their living here, possibly do the bulk of their buy ing out of town, and are actually in Seward but not a part of it? If a statistician should compile a table of figures taken from the reg 1stration book, the census figures, and the total voting at elections, he would prove that less than two per cent of the people care a darn what happens.
 Figures, of course, can be made to prove anything. In this case such a table would be false People of Seward DO care, they ARE inter- ested in our town and civic affairs, but time catches up with us here, in fact, passes by, and we wait un- til it is too late for anything but regrets and complaining We are lazy about registering, always in tending to do it tomorrow. That tomorrow" will be a great day in Alaska if it ever arrives.

struction.
 The Catholic Church and it's re- "lation with science is widely mis- understood, probably because it re- fuses to recognize theories as facts; and perhaps too because it forbids it's children to teach mere hypotheses as facts, until they can be proved In truth the Catholic Church is the greatest advocate and sponsor of scientific research that the world has ever known. It seeks the truth unafraid because it is well aware that both the natural and supernatural laws are God made and therefore cannot possibly disproVe one another. From the earliest days Catholics have been pioneers and leaders in all branches of learning. Below are just a few deVout Catholics whose names will ever live in the history of scientific achievements:
 Albertus Magnus, Leonardo da Vinci, Mendel, Nicholas Steno, Nicholas of Cusa, Muller, Lamarck, Copernicus, MacEnery, Schwann, Fabre, Morgani, Pasteur, Galvani, Volta, La Verrier. Kircher, Dr. John B. Murphy, de Chardin, Braile, Foucault, Taricelli, Mar conf, Abbe Lemaitre, and hundreds of others in every century of the Christian era.
