4 UNIONISTS GIVE BLOOD IN
VAIN FOR TRANSFERS WIFE

Miami, Fla. (LPA)-Four fellow
teamsters gave blood in a vain eff.
fort to save the life of Mrs. Mary
Morris, "a, wife Of a member OF
the Transfers Union. She died of
burns after the oil stove on which
she was making breakfast for her
two children burst into flames.
Roy and Mary Morris had just
finished building their own home.
Mrs. Morris had put up the rock
lath herself, in addition to holding
down a job as stenographer They
had been living in rented room
while working on their home, and
had moved in just few days be
fore the tragedy. They had been
using makeshift stove because
the recent hurricane delayed in
stallation of electricity.
Roy's local is now raising fund
to help him, and Land O'Sun Dair-
les, where he works, has promised
to triple the sums raised.

Wood Refuses To
DeconfroI Rent
In Pontiac, Mich.

Pontiac, Mich. (LPA)-The land
lords lobby here has been thrown
for loss. On Sept. 25 enough peti-
tions had been received by Mrs
Ada R. Evans, city clerk, to put the
issue of rent decontrol on the Nov.
z ballot. The next day, the Pontiac
City Commission passed a resolu-
ton ending rent control Dec. 81.
But action by Housing Expediter
Tighe E. Woods is necessary, and
on Nov. 2 he refused to act, saying
that to act "after petitions from
the people had asked to consider
the question by referendum would
be contrary to the intent of Con-
gress." He added that "since the
Congress specifically provided fo1
determination of this issue by
popular referendum, it can hardly
be said that it intended to permit
such determination to be blocked
by subsequent resolution of the
local governing body prior to the
referendum"

|StaIIing Employer
Warned By NLRB

Los Angeles (LPA)-An en-
lployer cannot merely go through
the motions of bargaining while
deep in his heart he has no inten-
ton Of ever coming to an agree
ment with a union.
That in effect is the ruling OF
the NLRB against the Gay Paree
Underganment Co. here on charges
brought by the AFL Int'l Ladies
Garment Workers.
The Board upheld the contention
Of Trial Examiner G.. w. White
more who reported that while the
company met with the union anc
discussed proposals, it was all "sur,
face bargaining"
"Of COURSE" the NLRB said
"the act does not compel agree
ment, but it does require that both
parties enter into negotiations and
bargain in good faith pre-
determination not TO make any
concession TO the union is in
compatible with bonafide en-
deavor to reach an understanding
with the chosen representative of
employees, and manifests negation
of the collective bargaining en-
visaged by the act"

Ships Below
Union Standard
Referee Soys

San Francisco (LPA) - Union
seamen are eligible for unemploy-
ment insurance payments even if
they refuse jobs on the ships of the
Military Sea Transport Service.
The reason: MIST jobs are sub
standard.
Decision was handed down by a
referee for the Division of Appeals
of the San Francisco District of the
California Department of Employ
ment. The referee reversed an
earlier ruling which had gone
against the Sailors Union of the
Pacific -AFL, a number of whose
members were involved.
Jobs on the MIST ships are not
suitable for SUP members, the re-
feree said, because the SUP men
are used to better conditions and
pay than the MIST offers. The MIST
is an agency of the US govern
ment, charged with the operation
of Army and Navy transports.
Referee Donald ellison cited pay
differences between SUP contract
jobs and MIST jobs to support his
contention. On an SUP ship, an
able bodied seaman can make about
$3.50 a month, he said, while on an
MIST vessel he can make only about
$500.
SUP men didn't have to take the
MIST jobs because the wages were
Substantially less favorable to the
individual than those prevailing
for similar work in the locality"
ellison wrote. The referee also
pointed out that MIST authorities
failed to survey prevailing wages
in private industry, requirement
established by the Federal Class
ification Act of 1949 which provides
that the wages of crews on govern
ment ships be fixed and adjusted
''in accordance with the prevailing
rate and practice in the maritime
industry" as far as possible. Last
such survey was made in 1947-48,
ellison said. Charles p. Scully, at
torney for the California Fedora
ton of Labor, represented the
SUP.

The FataIi+y Of Compromise
BY RUTH TAYLOR

We are a nice people. Sometimes
we are too nice for our own good
We are so imbued with the idea OF
fair play, and consideration for the
other fellow, that we too often
especially when it does not affect
directly our own interests-bend
over backward in being lenient to-
ward shortcomings, if not actual
wrong doing.
A current illustration Of that is
the way we spring to the defense
of criminals-with sentimental pro-
tests in their behalf. Or our con-
doning the actions of those who
join subversive groups. We say
"They didn't know" Well, if they
didn't have any more sense than to
join an organization without in
vestigating, then they better see
doctor! We don't join organizations
we don't know all about!
But if we want to see the real
fatality in compromising with evil
let's look at the record of the
past thirty years.
Had Kerensky been backed by
the democracies of the world when
he attempted to establish a gen.
uine democracy in Russia, we would
not have to face the menace of
Communism today.
Had we not compromised with
Japan over the invasion of Man
churia, China would not have been
laid waste, and the forest fire of
war might have been averted in
the Far East.
Had we not compromised with
Hitler when he started to rearm
and when he began his persecu-
tions in Germany, and had we not
compromised with Mussolini over
Ethiopia, there would not have been
World War lat least not then.
And what might be said regard
ing compromise in the cases of
Finland, Austria, Czecho-S o-Slocakia,
Poland, Denmark, Norway, The
Netherlands, Belgium, Yugo-Slavia,
France? Not that we are altogeth-
er guilty in these cases-but were
we altogether guiltless
"The Soviet is the Great Exper-
iment"; Japan needs to expand;
Hitler is resurrecting Germany;
"After all, the Ethiopians are a
savage people," it was said in de-
fense of our actions.
There is scarcely crisis through
which the world has passed in re-
cent years but what one or more of
the Democracies might have saved
the situation. Is it any wonder that
the Communists have developed a
contempt for US i? They have charg
ed us with cowardice, with going
soft, with lack of heroic spirit.
If we are to help save what re-
mains of civilization, there must
be no compromise with evil. That
this attitude works has been proven
in Korea. Let's be fair to all-but
let's also be fair to ourselves-to|
our standards and our beliefs as a
Democracy. Let's have done for all
time with compromise!

Half CT Homes Bought
Without Down Payment

Washington (LPA) - Three out
of four new homes in nine large
city areas were sold to ex-GPs il
the latter part of 1949 and half the
vets paid nothing down.
A report issued by the US Labor
Departments Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics Nov. 1 also shows that near,
ly 40 percent of all new one-family
dwellings were sold without dowr
payments. Down payments of
percent or less were made by &c
percent of the vets while the same
percentage ofnon-vets put up more
than Is percent.
Veterans bought less expensive
homes than non-veterans, although
modest" ($7000-$10,000) homes
led sales to both groups. Only IL
percent of the houses were bought
without Government-aided financ-
ing. A third of the houses had both
am FHA-insured first mortgage
and a VA-guaranteed second mort
gage.
The present regulations for Gl
loans, requiring down payments OF
5 to as percent, would have made
30 percent of the purchasers sur
veyed put UP larger down pay
ments. Sixty percent of the civil
ian purchasers using FILA financ-
ing exclusively would now be re-
quired to increase their down pay
ments or buy less expensive homes
The cities surveyed, in which 2O
percent of all non-farm one-family
houses were started in 1949, are
Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, l. 5
Ang les, Miami. Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Washing
ton, ID. G..

Tax Boosts Price OF Televisien
Sets, Home Freezers

Washington (LPA) = Prices of
television sets and home freezer
units went up Nov. / when the gov
ernment started collecting a 10
percent tax OH them.
The new tax is 10 percent of the
manufacturers price to the dealer.
The 10 percent tax was not expect
ed to mean a 10 percent boost in
retail prices, however. The spread
between manufacturers and retail
prices is too great to permit such
a rise, it was believed.
CA dealer might get $3.50 for a

Michael j. Quill, TWU president
He said:
81 was wrong and you were
right. | quit the Communist party
year ago, realizing their policy
was one of disrupting the labor
movement. If they could not rule
then they would ruin. Disrupt
was the slogan. Wreck was the
goal"
MacMahon should know. A few
years back he denied exactly those
charges against the CP. He said
then that he was a member of the
party, went to their meetings, and
that no such program was ever dis
cussed.
Now his perspective has chang
ed. "The plan (of the Communists)
was to diseredit any and all gains
made and to try and make the
workers feel that they were sold
out. If the union was wrecked and
the men sold out that was too bad.
E. :. When you take good look at
the Communist policy as | have
finally done, you see that it dove
tails with that of the worst re-
dictionaries in the country"
MacMahon ended by congratulate
ing Quill on the unions good
work" and militant fight"
