New Strategy Of
John l.. Lewis Nav
Split Operators

New York (LPA)-By dramatic
ally ordering a three-day week
again in the coal mines and at the
same time authorizing the unions
district officers to negotiate with
individual coal operators, John l..
Lewis and the United Mine Work
ers national policy committee may
succeed in breaking the solid front
Of the mine owners, many obser-
vers believe. Every owner will be
suspicious of every other owner,
is the theory.
The order came 1917 hours after
the three-week suspension i'm the
strike of 100000 bituminous miners
ended. The mines were idle when
the order was issued, and since it
came on the morning of Thursday,
Dec. /, they would remain idle un-
til the following Monday, for the
three-day week will be worked on
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednes-
days. The three-day order included
the 100000 anthracite miners in
Pennsylvania and far western BIZ
luminous diggers who struck with
the rest of the union in September
but were sent back to the pits two
weeks later.
The coal miners have been battl-
ing for a new contract since their
old one expired on June 80.
Through the summer they worked
a three-day week, and in mid Sep
tember instituted mo day" week,
to a strike, TO win a
pay raise, shorter work day and
a boost in the tonnage royalty the
operators pay into the miners con-
welfare fund. Early in
November, UNIV President Lewis
sent the miners back for three
weeks.

Sues IS Firms,
Seeks 100000

st. Louis (LPA)-The Amalga-
mated Lithographers of America,
and it's st. Louis local have filed
suit in Circuit court here against
the 16 firms comprising the Asso-
ciated Printers and Lithographers
of America, seeking $3,000,000
damages. The union accuses the
employer group and its member
firms of a plot to smash the union.
The union also has filed unfair
labor practice charges with the
regional NLRB, charging the en-
ployers with lockout and with re-
fusal to bargain in good faith.
More than ITO members of Local
No. have been out of work since
Nov. l, charging they were locked
out in dispute over working con-,
ditions and health plan.
The suit charges the employers
are attempting to smash the union
and accuses the employers of "an
illegal agreement to underbid and
destroy the business "of any firm
which signs a contract with the
union" The suit asks for a tenn
porary restraining order pending
a hearing On a permanent injunc-
tion.

Labor Law Meet
Asks Minimum Be
Raised To Dollar

Washington (LPA) = The new
75-cent federal minimum wage
level is a great step forward, the
10th National Conference on Labor
Legislation concluded, but the
minimum should be raised to a
dollar.
The dollar minimum was recon-
mended by the conferences COM
mittee on wages and hours, whose
report was adopted without opposi-
tion. The report also.urged a drive
70 induce more state legislatures
10 pass minimum wage measures
and to set the state levels at dol
lar.
The conference adopted commit
tee reports calling for broader
child labor laws, more adequate
unemployment insurance, state and
federal regulation of migratory
labor, and greater attention by the
states to industrial safety.
In addition, the conference pass
ed. IL resolutions, most of which
had the effect of broadening the
various committee reports. One
resolution called for outright re-
peal of the Taft-Hartley act and
the Little Taft -Hartleys" adopted
by a number of states.
The conference was attended by
delegations from more than 40
;tates, the District of Columbia,
Alaska and Puerto Rico. In the
delegations were state labor COM
nissioners and top AFL, CIO and
Independent labor leaders.
At the opening session on Nov.

for far reaching social and labor
legislation, and read a message
from President Truman.

British Labor Leaders Ask Wage
SfundsfiV To Stabilize Economy
By DAVID c. WILLIAMS

|
London (LPA)-A "wage stand
still" until Jan. /, 1851, is British
labor's answer to the crisis caused
by the devaluation of the pound
sterling. Americans would call it
wage freeze"
This was the decision reached by
the general council of the Trades
Union Congress after two months
of careful study.
However, the workers interests
are closely protected in the policy
which the TUG has adopted. For
instance, it is recognized that some
groups of the lowest paid workers
will need pay boosts to enable
them to cope with the rising cost
of living, but it is suggested that
these increases come mainly
through systems of incentive pay.
Most workers are to be asked
not to press for higher pay. Those
unions which have won wage scales
hitched to the cost-of-living index
will be asked to unhitch them, so
to speak, and hold wages constant
despite the substantial rise expect
ed in the index which now stands
at 112. Offsetting the severity of
the proposal, the TUG general
council suggests that no adjust
ments be made unless the index
goes to 118 or falls to 106.
Government analysts hope that
the cost-of-living rise will not ex-
ceed three or maybe four points be-
tween now and Jan. l, 1861. If
their hopes are realized, wages will
be stabilized for 13 months except
in the case of the lowest bracket
workers. Then Britain will have a
breathing spell while she fights
initiation at home and struggles to
stay in the dollar market abroad.
The general council of the TUG
has no power to enforce it's decis-
ion, and if it is to become national
trade union policy it must be ac-
cepted by the various unions them
selves. In other words, the council
must rely upon persuasion.
The Communists in the unions
are expected to fight the policy
tooth and nail, raising the tradi-
tional trades union cry for higher
wages and shorter hours. Never
theless, TUG leaders believe that
rank-and-file British workers are
intelligent and patriotic enough to
sense the urgent national need for
restraint through 1850 at least.
The TUG general council reach
ed its decision in complete indie |
pendence of the Labor government. |
However, council members bore in
mind the great benefits British |
workers have obtained under the
Labor government since 1916. Att
the same time, they had to allow
for the possibility of a Tory vic
tory in the coming elections.
In this latter connection, the
council shrewdly insured the trades
union movement against almost |
the Tories could do. By |
tying the wage standstill to cost
of-living index below 118, they
forestalled any Tory attempt to
lift food subsidies and let living
costs get out of hand. At the same
time, by tying it to an index above
LOG, they made it impossible for
the Tories to try to slash wages
oy inducing unemployment.

BILL OFFERED HOUSE TO BREAK
UP BIG INDUSTRIAL MONOPOLlES

Washington UPA)-The House
Monopoly Investigating Committee
closed its hearings for the year
Dec. /, after receiving the draft
of far-reaching legislation model
ed after the Public Utility Holding
Company Act to break up big and
monopolistic industries.
The legislative draft was pre-
sented by Assistant Professor Wal
ter Adams, of Michigan State Col
lege. 1t was the first specific pro-
gram spelled out in detail to the
committee for expanding n d
strengthening the present anti
trust laws.
Adams proposed that all corp
orations which control 10 per cent
or more of the production of any
product, or with assets in excess of
$25, 100000, be required to file with
the Securities & Exchange Com
mission detailed reports on their
corporate structure and operations.
The Commission would study
each industry separately to deter
mine whether it needed to be brok-
en- up into smaller units to provide
greater public service, more effic-
iency, and better competition.
Adams, explaining that his leg
islation closely followed the pro-
cedure for breaking up public util-
ity holding companies under exist
ing legislation, said at is not a
death sentence for big business as
such" but "is directed instead
against the abuses of size"
"To accomplish its objective of
maintaining or establishing effec-
tive competition" Adams told the
committee, "the bill sets up several
general-yet very cOncrete-stand-
ards which are to be applied in a
selective, case-by-case approach by
a competent administrative author
ity-subject at all times to judicial
review"
The Michigan State professor
said his legislation was based on
the belief previously presented to
the committee that "if the size and
power of many of our industrial
giants remains unchecked, if we
continue to allow the Big Three's
and Big Four's to dominate many
of our important industries, our
system of free competitive enter
prise stands in danger Of destruc-
ton"
Adams called the provision for
registration with the SEC zone of
the most crucial provisions of the
bill" because it would "at last pro-
vide Us with data necessary to as
certain the relation between size
of firm and efficiency of operation
in different industries"
Except for Chairman Celler Cd,
N. Y. }, members of the committee
greeted Adams proposal with great
coolness. Rep. Keating OR, N. "
said it would result in govern
ment control Of all industry" And
Rep. Wilson Cd, Tex said it
would make the SEC both prosecu-
tor and judge. But Celler told the
witness the proposal would be stud
led by the committee.
The constitutionality and work
ability of Adams proposal was at
tested by Howard j. Trienens, in
structor of law at Northwestern
University. He said the public util-
ity holding company law had
shown it was feasible to break
down the size of industrial giants"

hand, the military and information
al part of the budget is 80 percent
greater than it was 10 years ago.
Equally important is the fact
that only II percent of the feder-
al payroll falls under the category
of public welfare, housing, labor
relations, etc. The other 83 percent
goes to members of the armed
forces, civilian employees of the
Defense Department, postal work
ers and employees in the Veterans
Administration.
These facts need be kept in mind
if we want to understand what is
happening. Based on present fed
eral budget figures, even such an
enormous pension outlay as envis-
ioned by Senator Taft would
amount to less than double the 81
billion earmarked for aid abroad.
Of course, there is more to the
pension question than mere finan-
cial considerations. What such an
extension of government activity
would do to the American economy
is something that even hardened
deficit manipulators cannot contem-
plate without shudder. We await
congressional study and debate of
this momentous issue with under
standable interest.

Clothes That LET OUT

LONDON, June / (NANA) -
The ability Of children to out

signer has come up with the
answer.
Mrs. Kay Marris. q designer of
children's clothes. had q small
daughter who grew out Of her
prettiest frocks even more quickly
than was expected. So Mrs. Mar
ris planned clothes which grew
with her daughter-and the pat
ented designs will shortly be going
overseas as proof that. whatever
else Britain lacks, 1T Is not in
ventive brains.
These clothes are made to ex-
pand across the back. round the
middle and from shoulder to
waist. The skirt has the newt
able large tuck to let down as the
child grows. but there are other
pleats to let out and. when all
the expanding has changed the
frock from one which fits T.
year-old girl to one which she can
still wear three or fouf years later
there remains q four-inch hem
still untouched.
It is all done by clever design
ing and by carefully studying the
way O child grows. Concealed
tucks undo easily to put two
inches on the waistline and then
to lengthen the bodice by the
same amount. Back-fastening

Seven Ways To Boost
Ohio Corn Production

Seven points hold the key to
getting more bushels of corn
from fewer acres in 1949, accord
ing to E. P. Reed, extension
agronomist at Ohio State Univer-
Sity.
These points include controll-
ing water, cultivating regularly
ploWing on contour, planting
new hybrids at the proper rate
and using plenty of lime and fer
tiliZer.
Although he admits that most
Ohio farmers will not be able to
improve the drainage of their
fields at this late date, the agron-
omist says they still can reap div
idends by paying attention to the
other six points.
Corn needs organic matter"
he declares. IF you have grown
legumes regularly in the rotation
your soil will be in better shape.
Then, it is important to see that
it does not crust over. Regulate
your civilizations to preserve
good soil tilth".
Flowing on the contour helps
hold moisture and keeps the fer
tile top soil in place, he explains,
while planting of some of the
newer hybrids will result in
yield increases over the older
hybrids.
On adjusting planting rate to
the productive capacity of soil,
Mr.. Reed comments that this can
mean an increase in yield of IS
to 20 bushels to the acre on good

concludes, is equally important.
