of overwhelming victories in two
NLRB elections (153 to 80 and 9s
to 12.) An interim agreement on
wage gains was reached March 10,
1850, but the company has been
stalling in negotiations for a set of
department working rules.
The current hearings are being
held on charges by the NLRB that
the company warned its employees
they would be fired if they joined
the union; that the company en-
gagged in labor spying; that the
company fired 100 union members
in 1949. The board seeks reinstate-
ment of the 100, payment of $780,
600 they would have earned, and an
order directing the company to bar
gain and to disestablish the CITCO
Tanker Mems Association, so-called
independent union"
Dugan testified that the COM
pany's lawyers not only wanted
labor spying but also looked into
the possibility of restricting radio
communications between union
members aboard ships and the STU
headquarters. His testimony fol-
lowed that of Joseph A. Jenkins,
representing the NLRB, who charg-
ed that a company official made it
impossible for crew members to
send or receive messages after
Feb. II, 1949, in an effort to inter
fere with an NLRB election set for
three days later. Paul Hall, a vice
president of SIU, announced that
so to 80 cases of company firings
will come up at subsequent hear
ings.

ed when Donnell sputtered.
Donnell, who is rated right be-
hind Taft on the list of labor's
Senatorial enemies, tried to prove
that labor disputes on the railroads
in 1916, 1948 and 1850 were entire
| ly due to union responsibility and
received sharp lesson in history
for his pains. In 1948, Harrison
said, workers continued to threaten
strike despite government seizure
of the roads because they felt the
seizure was not bona fide. If rail
roads are strikebound, they are
temporarily valueless commercially
he declared. Then, if the govern
ment seizes them the workers will
return to their jobs if the govern
ment keeps them valueless for the
duration by paying no profits. He
Indicated that the roads would
come to terms with the unions fast
enough under such conditions.
In his prepared testimony, Har-
rison accused the railroads of bad
faith in connection with the Dom
nell bill. He said that in accordance
with a long-standing agreement
they should have consulted with the
unions before seeking change in.
the Railway Labor Act. Under
questioning he pointed out that the
unions had asked railroad pres
idents for their views of,.the union
shop bill for rail workers before
getting behind it in Congress-and
waited five months before the pres
idents disapproved it.
The veteran AFL leader cited
statistics showing that the railroads
frequently disregarded the griev-I
ance settlements produced by the
machinery of the Railway Labor
Act while the unions accepted them.
He also said that in disputes OF
national significance the railroads
never got down to bargaining until
after the case had gone all the way
to Presidential board.
In conclusion, Harrison contend
ed that the Donnell bill would not|
stop strikes, but probably would
increase them, Further, he said, it'll
would lead to naturalization of the
railroads.

Non Red Oath Again Upheld,
Rehearing Rejected

Washington (LPA) - The Sup
RENE Court has again upheld the
constitutionality Of the Taft Hart
ley act provision requiring union
officers to sign non-Communist
oaths. The vote was 4 to 4, thus
affirming lower court decisions.
The decision was on an appeal by
Local 65, Wholesale & Warehouse
Workers, unaffiliated, New York.
Justices Vinson, Minton, Reed and
Burton upheld validity of the oath.
Justices Douglas, Jackson, Frank
furter and Black dissented.
The court had ruled similarly,
3-3, on May 8, on appeals filed by
the Steelworkers and American
Communications Association. Both
subsequently filed briefs urging a
rehearing. The court, in separate
order June 5, refused to reconsider.

bers of some public utility regulat-

The prospect that the interna-

"The present antitrust laws ap-

Celler said, adding that "this is the

Weekly Earnings
S. Over April '@

Washington (LPA) - Weekly
earnings of the 11.6 million pro-
duction workers in mid-April rose
to a record $56.S9, according to the
US Department of Labor Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The April figure
was. the fifth consecutive monthly
rise, and exceeded that of April
1949 by more than So.
Basis for the rise continued to
center in the heightened work
weeks in metal, machinery, auto
and home building supplies indus
tries, with average weekly hours
for manufacturing as whole re-
naming at 1877. Weekly hours in
durable goods rose to 40.8 and
earnings to $61.04, about Sd above
April 1949. Weekly earnings in
durable goods dropped to
1924, and hours declined to 38.5
but both figures were above April
1949.
Unprecedented de m and for
household refrigerators shot en-
ployment over the 100000 mark,
still 1000 under March 1949, but
the workweek went to 41.9 hours,
against 1877 in March 1949.
A growing backlog of untitled
orders reduced the layoff rate in
manufacturing in April to the low
est figure since October 194S. Hir-
ings at an accelerated rate were re-
ported for April.
The Census Bureau reported
nearly 100000 more women work
ers in April than a year ago, with
an increase of about 100000 be-
tween March and April 1860.

It'll Be Watching
Georgia Workers
Write Senators

Atlanta, Ga. (LPA)-When the
JUS Senate takes up social security
legislation next week the textile
workers in this state will be watch
ling their two senators. George and
Russell. They will be watching to
see il the letters they have sent
will have any effect.
Like Bill Campbell, who wrote
to George: 81 know how bad the
law we have is. My mother was a
widow woman with four kids. She
got nothing. If she had been COW
cred, she wouldn't have drawed
enough to keep them in horse meat.
We feel this law ought to be chang
ed. We want enough to live on-for
old people and those who are too
sick to work. Thank you for your
attention. I'll be watching to see
how it comes out"
Or like this worker: II am 80
years of age, have one child also an
Aunt and Uncle over 65. Uncle
worked at Goodyear at Rockmart,
Ga. He has asthma, his wife can
not feed herself. They don't have
no income at all. want you to vote
for what the unions are asking for
on HR 60O0."
Organized labor has insisted that
HR 5000, as amended by the Sen
ate Finance committee, falls far
short Of meeting the needs of the
people.
Another worker wrote 81 had to
go to work in the cotton mill when
| was IL years of age to make a
living. ! now have a daughter Of
my own. | don't want this to hap
pen to her." And another wrote:
"My grandmother has been in bed
three years. She is a widow and
draws old age benefits. Her medi-
cine is 81 week. She doesn't get
even enough for that. | don't want
my mother and father to go
through that, so Pm asking you to
vote for the union recommenda-
tions."
And another: 81 know a man
here in Aragon that is over 65 and
his old age benefits are not enough
to pay his rent"
Here are quotes from other let
ters from Georgia working people:
q. | would like to look forward
to a decent income since have put
the best part of my life into max
ing this country what it is today
in my humble way-a small part in
doing something along with mill
ions of others. l see no sense to sit
idly by watching those of old age
pass on who did not have enough
to eat, let alone to survive"
49,. In case we die and leave
loved ones who cannot make it, j
and know when we become sick or|
disabled to work and don't received
enough to live on, it is serious
thing to think about"
The debate next week will be full |
of talk about the administrative
feasibility" and .''impossibility of
at this time"
. Maybe what a worker has in
mind, when he writes with quiet
dignity 81 would expect your sup
port at this time for a better law"
IS the administrative feasibility of
both ends meet when you
have kids to support, and aged per-
sons living in your home whose
pensions are not enough to cover
what they need at. the drugstore.
Or maybe he has in mind the sim
possibility of application" at the
lime when he was kid that had
% leave school because his mother
vas widow woman with no pen
sion; or, he wonders whether apph-
,ation will be possible when he gets
20 be 65-or whether he'll have to
