JED, by the 65th Annual Conven-
tion of the Ohio State Federation

BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that the State Federation and af-
| filiated unions appeal to the Con-
gresham and Senators to take
effective action in behalf Of the

an equal competitive basis with
those countries that import goods
at retail prices lower than the cost
of production in this country.

| 4; George Lanning, L. U. II; John

Newspaper Guild
Wins Victory In
New York Strike

New York (LPA)-Representa-
tives of the New York Newspaper
Guild and the New York World
Telegram & Sun signed a new two
year contract Aug. %. The agree
ment, which ended 10-week strike
by 400 newsmen, was complete
victory" for the union, according
to Thomas j. Murphy, the New
York Guilds executive vice-pres-
ident.
The World Telegram strike was
one Of the biggest ever won by
unit of the American Newspaper
Guild, union officers believed. The!
said the new agreement was being
hailed by labor leaders as "a great
achievement"
What made the Guild victory in
evitable was that members of AFI
and unaffiliated craft unions re-
fused to cross the newsmen's pic
ket lines, forcing the World-Tele
gram to suspend publication. Man
agement repeatedly tried to breal
the strike by persuading the crafts
to return. Guildsmen, grateful tt
the printing trades and other mec-
hanical workers, said they hopeC
this unity would set a national pat
tern.
The striking unit approved the
new contract by a whopping 270 t.

four hours earlier the agreement
had been ratified by the New Yorl
Guilds executive board. Minority
opposition was based on the lacl

New Wage Level
For French Labor
Hit By Unions

Paris (LPA)-The minimum liv-
ing wage recently set by the
French cabinet has been strongly
criticized by labor groups. They
say it will do little to help the maj
ority of French workers meet the
rising cost of living. Labor has adj
vocated an aggressive fight with
employers as a result of the new
rate.
The new minimum, 78 francs
(about 18 cents) an hour for un-
skilled workers, greatly increased
the pay of about 100000 workers
in the provincial centers but only
slightly increased it for another
100000.
The government said the rate
would set monthly earnings for un-
skilled workers in the Paris area
at 16,400 francs (about $40. This
is based on 200 hours work, in
Guiding 27 hours overtime. Unions
maintained the figures were mis-
leading because the legal work
month was only 173 hours, bringing
wages down to 13,949 francs. Labor
had sought a minimum monthly
rate of 1880 francs.
Many quarters expect political
repercussions from the action. 1t
is possible, if opposition to the new
scale develops in the Socialist
Party rank, that the Socialist min
isters who voted for the rate might
stage a walkout. They withdrew
from the government once over a
wage issue.

Railroad Strike Called Oft
AS Truman SeizeS Roads

Washington (LPA)-The Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen and
the Order of Railway Conductors
called off their nationwide strike
as soon as President Truman order
ed federal seizure of the railroads
The unions had repeatedly urged
seizure as the only way to avoid
a walkout.
Presidents w. P. Kennedy of the
Trainmen and R. o. Hughes of the
Conductors notified their genera
chairman at once Of Truman's ac-
ton. Then they told reporters that
the two unions greatly appreciate
the fact that the President has
acted favorably" on the request fol
seizure.
A spokesman for the unions SAID
Hughes and Kennedy wanted the
railroad presidents to bargain dir
ectly. The rail presidents did not
attend the White House parleys
conducted by John R. Steelman
Breakdown of the White House
conferences led to the strike. call. 1
The strike was scheduled for {
a. m. Monday, Aug. %. Truman'S
seizure order was scheduled to take
effect at five p. m. on Sunday wher
the Army would take over the
roads, with existing union con-
tracts remaining in effect. How
ever, Truman did not seize the re-
ceipts and private management
would continue actual operation
"to the maximum degree possible
The strike would have been the
greatest rail tie-up in the history
of the North American continent
since Canadian roads were already
idled by a walkout for similar union
demands. The strike call by the
Conductors and Trainmen climaxeo
a 17-month effort on the part OF
the unions to win 4O-hour week
with 48-hour pay for men in "roao
service" to correct what were term
ed "gross inequities."
After many months of negotia'
tions, President Truman named ar
emergency fact-finding board. In
June the board recommended the
4O-hour week, but at the same time
recommended what amounted to q
cut in take-home pay and reject
ed other union demands. The unions
rejected the boards recommends
tions which were not mandatory
saying they were "the worst in his
tory"

QUESTION; What can be done
TO control wilt which is killing

There are two types, F>ussarun.

somewhat resistant.
There are no commercial varie

dictate that mixing the lime into
the top Jour inches of the soil
is the best method. In his test
he applied lime by blowing down,
topdrcssing and mixing in the
top four inches of soil. The mixed

he says, top-dressing after
seeding will not save the young
seedlings.
