ChrysIer Workers
Get Pay Boost
Outside JAW Contract

DETROIT (LPA) - For the
first time in auto history, a pay
increase has been granted out
side a union contract. +.
Chrysler Corp. has announced
a ten to Is cent hourly pay boost
for 100000 workers. SO 900
hourly paid employees will get
10 cents an hour more, 1000
skilled workers will get Is cents
and 10000 salaried employees
will get comparable boosts.
United Auto w o k r s-CIO
signed a contract with Chrysler
last May after a bitter To-day
strike. There were no pay boosts
in the contract, and raises have
been granted in the auto indus
try since that time. Wildcat
strikes have been taking place
in the company's various de-
partments, and it was expected
that the pay boost would end
them.
,UAW Chrysler. Director Nor
man Matthews said the union
sis very proud of the agree
ment." Chrysler Labor Relations
Director Robert Condor said the
company felt this was the thing
to do because conditions have
changed since the contract was
signed.

Effective Unity Being Achieved On Political Front
By Jacob Pot0fsky r
President, Amalgamated Clothing Workers-CIO

Effective working unity is
being achieved on the political
front through joint efforts of the
AFL, CLIO and Railway Brother
hoods.
This was demonstrated in the
local, Congressional and Sen
atorial elections of 1949, and
will be demonstrated again in
1850.
The proposals for labor unity
have stirred the imagination OF
all labor and progressive ele.
ments in the country. Such unity
already established on the In
ternational front through the
International Confederation Of
Free Trade Unions, becomes all
the more imperative at home be.
cause of the desperate need fol
peace and security.
The Amalgamated has Ions
sought the unity of American
labor. Sidney Hillman participa'
ted in many conferences to thai
end. AS far back as 1910, the
25th anniversary convention o.
the Amalgamated adopted {;
statement on Labor unity which
may very well stand today. Ir
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-09-01

that statement, our late Presi-
dent declared:
1.-THE problem of trade union
unity is not new for the Anal
gamated. 1t is a problem which
has confronted us from the very
moment of our birth as a labor
organization. We have always
approached it in this way: we
conceive it to be the first duty
of a labor organization to or
ganize the workers of the ma
ton. That task can be most eff
fectively performed by a single
united labor m ovemen t. A
united labor movement commit
ted to a policy of vigorous and
effective organization will enjoy
the strength and power for con-
structive action which can never
be achieved by a movement

which is split in rival camps"
This statement is as true to-
day as it was in 1910 when Sid
ney Hillman uttered it. There
is, however, one important diff
ference. Today there is an in
creasing disposition on the part
of various elements in labor's
family to accept this position.
I am convinced that men OF
good will, concerned with the
common welfare of all Ameri-
cans, not only of labor, will be
able to enlarge the area OF
agreement and achieve unity.

the name of the Mohawk Valley
formula, outlined a campaign to
mobilize local support, espec-
tally in the small towns against
unions. Slowly large segments
of the community were being
turned against labor"
1t took another war, says Bell,
to fully "legitimatize" labor's
place in the society. World War
II finally gave labor a defined
role in American society, and
the trade-union leadership a
more than token place in the es-
tablishment of war policy and
the execution of orders. The de-
gree to which that recognition
went beyond the assignments
given labor in World War I is a
significant measure of its new
status. When the National De:
tense Advisory Commission was
set up in 1910, the CLOS Sidney
Hillman shared an equal vote
with Edward Stettinius of U. S.
Steel and William Knudsen OF
General Motors" Labor was
represented in all the chief war
agencies and trade union Of
ficers served on price and ra-
tioning boards, draft boards,
civilian defense committees and
other war work right down the
line.
Labor also combined with in
dustry representatives to do a
Embarrassing job for war relief
abroad. SIN this effort" declares
Bell, "the work of the AFL's
Labor League for Human Rights
and the CLOS War Relief Com
mittee struck new and deep
roots in the local community
structure.
After the war labor was rep
resented in the Marshall Plan,
Important ECA jobs are held by
labor men both here and abroad.
Labor representatives, it is ar
gued, can do more than anyone
else to break Communist propa-
ganda abroad.
perhaps the most startling
aspect of labor's new status"
Bell concludes, sis the silent
revolution in the last 10 years
within the Nations commune
ties, whereby the trade union
movement has become increas-
ingly an integral part of the
community service program"
Labor is participating in more
than 1000 community service
programs across the country.
This includes service on Com
munity Chests, Boy Scouts
family service agencies, and
public assistance programs.
Labor is now accepted as "a
legitimate functional group in
the social structure" The effect
of this change can be seen best
in small towns when labor goes
in strike. In steel strikes of 1919
and 1887 the police beat pickets
and local businessmen were
against the strikers.
In 1949 the towns all backed
the steel strike. Storekeepers
cooperated. The mayors and
city officials marched in union
parades. And the police cooper
ated with pickets so that things
could be accomplished in an
orderly way.

. Tracing the history of labor
participation in community at
fairs since the turn of the CEN
tury when labor decided Ito
seek a secure place within the
social structure Of capitalist So
ciety rather than stand outside
and fight it," Bell shows how
the relations of labor to the
community have changed.
During the half-century," he
writes, 'labor's single ambition
has been to win acceptance with
in the society as a legitimate
social group, on par with bust
ness and the church as an estab-
lished institution of American
life"
To Samuel Gompers, first
~seresident of the AFL, sit be-
s,me almost a personal crusade
20 win recognition of labor's
voice in all civil aspects OF
American life; viz, an entry and
a hearing at the White House;
an official voice in government
(e. g., the Department of Labor;
respectful contractural relations
with employers; representation
m community associations and
affairs, etc."
Labor as early as 1905 was ac-
tive in national elections. 1t
wasn't until 1886, however, that
Labor's Non-P Partisan L e a 6 e
was formed, and the American
Labor Party created in New
York. In 1914, the Clio Political
Action Committee was set up. In
1913, the AFL entered f~ull-scale
POLITICAL action with formation
S7f Labor's League for Political
Education.
"Labor's full-scale entry in
politics has marked a subtle
change in the operations of trade
unionism," writes Bell. "In var
ious cities, the AFL and CLIO
have banded together behind a
pro-labor man and have, in var
wing measure, become allied
with local political bosses or
have become competitors for
control of party machinery"
SIT was in World War l." he
points OUT "that labor gained an
official status. The social i'm
plications of a war for democ-
racy made it difficult for en-
ployers to ignore a national la
Dor, policy which stressed union
cooperation. Labor was repre-
e. ented on all government agen-
= lies and commissions concerned
with labor matters"
In the postwar years there
was an upsurge of anti-labor
feeling and in the late 1905, or
ganizing drives in the mass in
dustries again brought into
sharp question the role of labor's
place in the community. San
anxious middle-clas public
opinion began to intrude and
play decisive roles in crucial
strike situations" Bell writes.
=Sit-down strikes, mass walk
outs, flying squadrons, and SINH
lar spectacular tactics had given
the country a whiff of class war
fare, he relates. "a new tech

 From there Anderson went tC Washington where he attended the Alaska Science Conference and pre- sented a paper on Alaska fisheries
 The keynote of the meeting there he said, was the need for more Alaska research and correlation o1 the work being done.
 While in Washington he was re- ouested to testify at the Cowlitz Dam hearing.

This means us Naturally the placards are Communist inspired, but one- third of the people of Italy are Communist. Aside from the Con- munists, Italian resentment was so strong against us when we passed the McCarran Act holding up Ital- ian passport visas, the Italian Parl- lament seriously debated the ban ming of all Amercians from Italy Even Marshall Plan officials though the tourist trade is major source of Italian revenue. . This is not a pleasant picture, but there is no use keeping our heads in the sand regarding the facts.
 In southern Italy land is being seized every day, and the local priest sometimes accompanies bands of Communist peasants when they march into the big landed es- tates. This is something the Vat ican does not condone, but local sentiment regarding the big estates is so intense that frequently the crucifix and the Red flag march side by side. Elsewhere in Italy about 100000 are unemployed, and the extremes of poverty and wealth are so great, with land reforms so long delayed and so bidding, that Communism thrives here as in no country outside Russia. In fact, the Italian Communist Party is the se- cond largest in the world with most of the cities in northern Italy now governed by Communist mayors.
 In case Of war, Italian defenses would burst like a bubble. This < not pleasant news. Yet we must re member this is nation we are de- pending on to resist the Red Army
