Not only will the winner Of this
years grand prize own a big pow
erful car, but he will have the
ultimate in motor car luxury. The
interior from the smart "pilot-
centered" instrument panel, to the
centered arm rest in the rear seat,
it is the last word in comfort and
truly bears out the motto, when
better automobiles are built BUICK
will build them" The exterior of
the car is clean cut and as stream
lined as modern engineers can
make it. There isn't thing that
could be added to make the car
more desirable.
Other "extras" which add to the
appearance of the car are white
side wall tires, de luxe bumper
guards both front and rear, and
chrome tail pipe extension.
Set on a 121-inch wheel base,
the powerful motor develops 120
horsepower but owners continually
declare they are getting up to 20
miles to a gallon of gasoline, so
the winner will find he can take a
4C0-mile trip on one tank of gaso-
line.
Someone is going to have one of
the incest automobiles on the road
for ten cents. Let's hope it's you.
In a constant effort to make each

1858 Oakwood Ave, East liver

that the idea will be used, because
many have been tried in the past
without success, but you are as

NY Liberal Party
Backs Roosevelt
For Congress

New York (LPA)-Murray Bar
on, New York County chairman of
the Liberal Party thru which the
non-communist labor unions of
New York City have worked, has
thrown his full support behind the
candidacy of Franklin d. Roose-
velt Jr. for the New York City
congressional seat left vacant by
the recent death of Rep. Sol
Bloom (D).
At the same time a quickly
formed independent committee of
citizens to support young Roose-
velt was joined by William H.
Davis, former chairman of the War
Labor Board, Lloyd X. Garrison,
first chairman of the NLRB and
also a War Labor Board head, and
Mrs. Anna Rosenberg, former labor
adviser to the late President
Roosevelt.
Baron said his party was con-
vening his congressional district
clubs as soon as possible to act on
FDR Jr's nomination. Soon after
that meeting the county executive
committee and the Trade Union
Council of the Liberal Party will
meet to act on it.
"As for my own views" Baron
said, 81 hail his entry in this race
because it is precisely at this juno
ture of Congressional and national
history that the services of an out
standing and vigorous liberal are
needed to combat the
vicious alliance of reactionary Re-
publicans and Southern Democrats
which is threatening the enlighten-
ed and progressive program of
President Truman"
FDR Jr., the third son of his
father, is the closest of them to
his father in appearance and man
ner. He won honors in athletics
and studies at Harvard and has
quite a reputation as a speaker.
Now practicing law, he is active in
the Americans for Democratic
Action, the New York Young DEM
ocratic Club, and other liberal
groups.
In announcing his candidacy,
Roosevelt said, "If nominated
will campaign on liberal plat
form in the tradition of Sol Bloom.
It's a very great honor to be con-
sidered as his successor"

Gloves Available

Washington, D. c. (ILNS). =
The international Glove Workers
Union OF America has signed a

Eisendrath Glove Co., which op-

Finally 1t Comes
Who Really Paid
For The TN Act

Washington (LPA)-Murder be-
gan to out last week at the House
Labor Committee hearings on the
Truman Labor Bill
Gerald d. Morgan, who served
as a special legislative counsel to
the House Labor Committee last
session when the Taft Hartley act
was passed, came in to give his
ideas on the new law. Under some
pretty close questioning by Con-
gressmen, he broke down and made
these admissions:
Although serving as counsel
at the special request of Chairman
Fred Hartley, his $500 fee was
paid not by the House but by the
Republican National Committee.
2-As counsel he sought the aid
and help of two outstanding ex-
perts" in the labor law field-who
turned out to be Gerard Reilly,
now counsel for General Electric
and the Printing Industry of Am
erica, and Theodore Isserman,
counsel for the Chrysler Corp.
3-They started out on a new
labor law by taking the vicious
Case Bill, vetoed by the White
House, with the equally vicious
Smith amendments to the Wagner
act, plus some additional ideas
Mr.. Halleck Or, Ind) thought
would be appropriate" Under ques-
by Rep. Carl Perkins Cd,
Ky.) a former UNIV attorney,
Morgan admitted that it was Hal
leck who said you'll get your
money even if we have to take up
a collection"
Thus-Irom a reactionary Re-
publican congressman, turncoat
Democrat lawyer working for the
National Committee,
and two industry lawyers-was
born what the Republicans now
proclaim as "bill of rights for
the working man."

Building Service
Workers Awarded
Weekly Wage Hike

New York (LPA)-Some $4,000
elevator operators and other SER
vice employees in more than 5000
Manhattan office buildings have
been awarded a wage increase of
$3.50 a week plus a Blue Cross
hospital plan sponsored at the ex-
pense of their employers. the NY
State Mediation Board has ann
ounced.
The wage increase was given by
a mediator after dispute arose
between Local 32-B of the Build
ing Service Employes-AFL, and
the Realty Advisory Board of New
York, the employer group. The
Blue Cross plan was not included
in the arbitration case, but agreed
on some time ago.
The award raised the average
weekly earnings of the building
employees from $47.11 to $50.61, or
74R. The Blue Cross plan will
cost the employers an average of
58c per person per week.
The union is expected to insist
that this same formula be used in
settling a present dispute affecting
10000 other workers in the 5000
Manhattan apartment houses. The
union has served formal notice of
it's intent to strike in these build
ings unless a settlement is reached
by April 20.
Prof. Jerome Michael, of Colum-
bia University, who was the arbi-
traitor in the office building case,
went out of his way to reject the

Chrysler Merit Plan
Unfair, UAW Charges

Detroit (LPA) = The Chrysler
Corporations merit plan" of Civ
ing pay increases to certain indi-
vidual production workers and
denying them to others without
consulting the union is unfair
labor practices UAW complaint
filed with the NLRB here charges.
The plan as it has been put into
practice, says UAW Chrysler
Director Norman Matthews, "re-
presents a direct attempt to by
pass the union, to weaken its posi-
tion and to deny its status as sole
collective bargaining agency. The
so-called merit plan also gives rise
to an unlimited number of cases of
favoritism on one hand and dis
elimination on the other"

One of the most influential and
widely known men in the develop
ment of the American labor move
ment, Morrison saw the AFL grow

SENATE RENT BILL
'PHONEY'

New York (LPA)-A few hours
after the Senate Banking Commit
tee voted to report a rent control
bill, the Dress Joint Board of the
Int'l Ladies Garment Workers
AFL issued sharp attack urging
the members of the committee to
it as "phoney."
Speaking for thousands of gar
ment workers, General Manager
julius Hochman wired each men,
Der of the committee that the bill
twill work an undue and iniquitous
on the city workers"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-03-24

While in Chicago, he studied law
and obtained a degree in 1895 at
Lake Forest University. He was

1lllal OeDaCe, DuC flgnC now.
To pass the union n-supporteG
measure it is necessary to win over
some members of Congress who
voted for Taft-Hartley, break the
Dixiecrat- Republican coalition that
knitted the civil rights program
and woo some Republicans from in
dustrial districts away from their
party's Taft-Hartley line.
This isn't job which the union
spokesman here in Washington
can do. Only the local unions and
their friends thruout the nation,
the constituents of the wobbling
Congress, can put the heat on
strong enough to push the strad-
dlers over to our side of the fence.
kilograms, letters, visits to Wash
ington, are needed now as seldom
before in the history of organized
labor's dealing with the US Con-
greSS.
The solons must be reminded,
union Representatives declare, that
last November's elections did give
Congress a clear-cut mandate to
ditch Taft Hartley. NAM propa-
ganda that the election results
don't mean a thing has been flood
ing Congressional offices.
Altho the Senate Labor Commit
tee cast an eight to five anti-Taft-
Hartley vote, a count of Senator
ial noses reveals that unless all of
labor gets into the fight the Senate
will insert amendments into the
Wagner Act restoration bill which
will make it more Taft-Hartley
than Wagner.
The same situation prevails in
the House worsened perhaps by
the fact that the vote in the House
Labor Committee will be much
closer than in the Senate Commit
tee-probably 13 to IL in favor of
Wagner Act principles.
iIc Oclldlc SOfIiiiiittcC III lto y"
page report called on Congress to
return to Wagner act concepts of
free collective bargaining, and
abandon Taft Hartley which while
giving Zip service" to democratic
labor-management principles "in
reality did much to undermine and
destroy them"
President William Green, speak
ing for the AFL, and General
Counsel Arthur Goldberg for the
CIO told the House Committee this
week that their organizations are
ready to abide by the provision of
the administrations bill which en-
powers the President to request all
parties to a dispute effecting the
national welfare to observe a 80
day truce so that impartial investi-
cation of the issues may be made.
This is labor's answer to the
growing demand for retention in
the new labor statute of a provis-
ion similar to THIS anti-strike in
junction clause.

Jacks sparring partner will be
Sonny Boy West, talented local
lightweight. Their meeting in the
practice ring. incidentally, may be
a step toward a match between
Beau and West. Chick Wergeles,
Beau's manager, likes the way
West fights. It's unlikely that
he can get Vests contract, so the
next best thing would be to put
