ChrysIer Pension
Plan Turned Down
By Auto Workers

Detroit (LPA) - The United
Auto Workers has notified the
Chrysler Corp. of a nationwide
strike of 10000 workers unless a
satisfactory pension and insurance
settlement is reached. The seven
day strike notice required by
Michigan law was handed to com
pany negotiators Jan. l8.
The notice was given after the
union rejected the company's pro-
posals as Completely inadequate.
UAW Chrysler director Norman
Matthews dubbed the offer "cheap
and shoddy."
The company offered 500 pen
sim (including social security
at 65 after 25 years service. How
ever, the price tag was an exten-
sion of the contract for five years,
which would mean freezing all
working conditions to 1855. The
present contract expires August |,
and Matthews said the Chrysler
workers are unwilling to extend
the present terms "five minutes,
let alone five years"
The pension plan, said the union,
is unsound because there is no pro-
vision for commitment as to fixed
payments into a trust fund; there
is no provision for a jointly admin
istered trust fund; the eligibility
rules proposed would disqualify
thousands Of workers. The health
security proposals, said the union,
are a sham, and in effect no offer
at all. Total cost of the proposed
pension program and all other pro-
visions would come to less than 5
cents an hour, the union charged.
"Chrysler workers will not rely
on a vague promise to pay pen
sions," Matthews said. "They want
fool-proof program where money
is accumulating in trust. The
freeze is ridiculous"

Miners Turn Down
Lewis Suggestion
To Return To Pits

Pittsburgh LPA)-Upwards of
10000 coal miners turned down
John l.. Lewis suggestion" that
they go back to the pits Jan. 16
after a mo work" week. However,
others who had been out, notably
in West Virginia, returned to work
three days a week as they have
since Dec. |. The remaining 100000
miners also were working three
days.
Reports that Lewis faces wide
spread revolt and defiance were
taken with grain of salt here and
in Washington. Lewis was in
Springfield, ILL.,, attending the fun
eral of his mother who died Jan.
II at the age of 81. When the pres
ident of the United Mine Workers
returned to the unions headquar-
ters in Washington, the coal dig
gers strategy was expected to be-
come more apparent. Many believ-
ed it to be a continuation of the
"checkerboard" harassment which
the UNIV has employed recently.
However, some rank-and-file min
ers were reported to be saying
"five days or nothing"
Meanwhile, the claims by the
Chamber of Commerce of the US
and assorted Senators and Con-
gressmen that serious coal short
age loomed lost some of their force
when the Interior Dept released
figures that affirmed President
Truman's repeated contention that
there was no danger of crisis.
On Jan. /, the department said,
the stockpiles in coal dealers yards
were larger than they were last
spring. Moreover, the government
statisticians reported that during
the last four months of 1949 re-
tail consumers bought 25 per cent
more coal than they did in the same
period of 1948. The inevitable con-
clusion was that people had stock
ed in anticipation of coal strike.
The report said that dealers
have about four days supply in
their yards, smaller estimate
than the one offered by the Cham
ber of Commerce after survey of
SO cities. But the spokesman for the
Interior Dept said that dealers
had had lower stocks on many oc-
casions in the past. In addition,
more and more coal is going direct
ly from small truck mines" to
consumers.

Steel Profits Up,
Costs Down,
Inquiry Shows

Washington (LPA)-On the eve
of its investigation of the recent
steel price increase, the Joint Con-
gressional Economic Committee
published a factual survey of the
Steel industry showing many of
the latter's costs last year were
down and it's profits were up.
The report noted that during
1919 there had been "a consider
able downward trend in several of
the more important items entering
into steel costs" 1t listed reduc-
! tions in the price of scrap of "a
per cent; zinc, "a per cent; iron
ore, IA per cent; and tin, 23 per
cent.
The ten big companies, the re-
port said, had higher rate of re-
turn on investment in 1948 than
in any year since 1918. And most
of the companies showed big in
creases for the first nine months of
1949 over 1948. u. S. Steel made
81 per cent more in 1949 than in
1913, Bethlehem, So per cent more; !;
and National Steel Corporation, 80
per cent.
Simultaneously, Rep. Herter (R,
Mass.) issued statement charg-
ing Chairman O'Mahoney had spre-
judged" the case against the steel
companies and showed a bias
against "bigness" by centering his
attack on u. S. Steel.

Political Reilly
At Durham, N. G..

Durham, N. C. LPA)-More
than 700 Representatives of AFL,

United Labor Political Committee
! of North Carolina at Durham, Jan.
18. There were no free riders
either, for admission to the bar

the event as zone of the most
Frightening things in the whole

tee said cts neighbors to the south
might look to North Carolina to

Governor w. Kerr Scott, t,N 1

it a kickoff point for labor poll
tical activity in the state. In addi-
tion to the LLPE and PAC, the
Railroad yBrotherhoods, the Int'l
Association Of Machinists and the
Hosiery Workers were represented.
All expressed confidence that lib
eral Senator Frank Graham, ap-
pointed by the governor to fill a
Senate vacancy last year, can be
elected to his important post for
six-year term in November.
The 1000 cooperation" shown
at the rally is necessary, keenan,
told the group, to make such vic
tories possible. "If we don't act
now," he pointed out, with real
enterprise in the American tradi-
tion, we will find ourselves back
where we were in 1885,"

Higher European
Production Needed
To Win Cold War

Akron, o. (ILNS). - Livin G
standards for workers in Europe
must be bettered if we are to win
the cold war, Economic Coopera-
tion Administrator Hoffman told
the Akron Chamber of Commerce.
GAS. of the present, the standard
of living in Western Europe is con-
siderably higher than that of
Russia" Hoffman said. at must be
kept higher, and that means that
the rate of improvement must at
the very least equal that of Rus
sia's. Europe, with our help should
strive for something far better
than this, but we dare not take
less. In order to win against the
ideology and Godlessness of Russia,
we must first win out on the econ
omic front, and the increase in liv-
ing standards is the measure of
how well we are succeeding"
Hoffman pointed out that in
order to increase production the
Western European nations have
voluntarily maintained an auster-
ity program that has held their
standard of living to the 1898 level
they have done this in order to
divert income to capital goods; to
the undermining and rebuilding of
factories into developing better
transport facilities, and into ex-
ports to get materials with which
to accelerate such investment.
The Marshall Plan chief pointed
out the contrast in Russia, which
now has a ruthless system of in
centives and penalties. A Russian
worker must exceed the set stand
ard of production in order to get
extra rations which enable him to
eat a little better. If, however, he
falls below the set standard his
rations are reduced-and therefore
he falls to a mere subsistence level
in his eating.
Russian Output Gaining
"No manager or worker with
the slightest respect for human
dignity would approve such a sys-|
tenn but it is increasing produc
ton" Hoffman said, "The stand
ard of living in Russia is very low,
but it is improving"

Thanks Machinists
For Their Loyalty

Washington (LPA)-In special
message to the Jan. 26 issue Of the
Machinist, weekly newspaper of
the lnt'l Assn of Machinists, Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt thanks LAM
for their Continued loyalty and in
terest and devotion to my hus-
bands memory"
The Jan. 26 issue is dedicated to
the late President Roosevelt in OBJ
servance of his birthday Jan. 80.
LAM President AL Hayes urges
that every union member pause
to honor that great American
whose spirit still inspires our
struggle for freedom and justice" /"
Roosevelt would have been 50.
In an editorial reprinted from
The Machinist of Jan. 30, l948,
the paper suggests that Roosevelt's s
birthday be observed as are those
of Lincoln and Washington. A
dramatic two-page sprea of
"stills" from the movie, the Roose-
welt Story, is feature of the issue.
Mrs. Roosevelt stresses that
FDR always was particularly
happy" that his birthday was used
to raise money for the Natl Found
alton for lnfantile Paralysis. She
says much has been accomplished
toward finding the cause and cure
of the dreaded polio but adds that
"the search is going on and all of
us are able to help in what is real
ly a national undertaking."

Emphasizing that we must win
the "cold war" if we are to have
peace, Hoffman said, above all,
hope that you are persuaded that
we must win this cold war which
Russia declared against European
recovery. That may mean a total
of 5 billion dollars more before the
end of the ECA and billion dol
lars is lot of money. But that 5
billion dollars, in fact the total cost
of ECA which is Is billion dollars,
must be considered in relationship
to our detectives. We're trying to
win the cold war in Europe so
that we'll have a chance to win a
peace under which free men can

Communist affidavits go to the
NLRB's Affidavits c omp a ce
branch. Copies of the constitution
and bylaws must be sent to both
the NLRB and the Sec'y of Labor.
The details of union government
and financial statement must
also go to the Sec'y of Labor. On
top of these, the board must have
list of union officers, copy of
the compliance letter" which the
union receives from the Labor
Dept. and an outline of how the
financial statement was distribut-
ed to the union membership. All
this tedious paper work came with
the Taft-Hartley act. Silverberg
shows a picture of each document
and tells you how to file it.
Suppose your union has organ
lied a new company but the boss
won't bargain with you because he
can't believe his employees actually
want the union. You go to the
NLRB. If the board is convinced
that a majority of the workers
want to be represented by the
union it will certify the union as
bargaining agent. Then you can
compel the boss to bargain.
Obtaining certification may be
easy, but it frequently is long
drawn process. A labor organiza
tion must file a petition at the
nearest NLRB regional office and
it must prove that the petition is
supported by at least 30 per cent
of the employees. The NLRB will
then put field examiner ON the
case.
If the case "has merit, the field
examiner will try to get the par
ties to agree to consent cleo
ton, fairly informal procedure.
Otherwise, the regional director
will order a hearing, and if this
shows merit in the unions case,
the NLRB itself in Washington
will order an election. And if the
union wins it will be certified. But,
as all who have been through the
process know, a balky employer
can hold up hearings, election,
and even certification for months
or even years by motions, appeals
and other legal devices. Silverberg's
book takes the reader through the
entire maze of possibilities with de-
tailed instructions on how to take
or combat each step. Again, he
goes into detailed descriptions Of
the forms to be filed and tells you
where to send them. He also re-
produces most of them.
Other sections of the book treat
other types Of cases in the same
manner. Unfair labor
practices alone require two long
chapters. In addition, he includes
the text of the Taft Hartley act and
the involved procedural ru e S
which the NLRB has worked out
for its own guidance. Silverberg
passes no judgments on labor, man
or the wisdom of the pre-
sent act, but if ever he has occas
ion to bring out a second edition of
his book it is devoutly to be hoped
that he will have to alter it to fit
a new and better law.

NLRB Procedures Are Very Complex
But Handy New Book Is Good Guide

Washington (LPA)-If you want
to take case before the Nat
Labor Relations Board, the first
thing to do is get a lawyer who
knows his business. However, il
you know your business too you
will be able to cooperate more
easily with your attorney and pro-
ceed more confidently through the
boards machinery which the Taft
Hartley act has rendered infinitely
complex.
That's why union officials and
labor lawyers will be grateful to
Louis G. Silverberg, the NLRBS
veteran director of information
Silverberg has spent 10 years
under both the Wagner and Taft
Hartley acts explaining the boards
activities to newspapermen and
others, and he knows how easily be-
wilderment sets in. Accordingly he
has prepared book explicitly il
un-romantically entitled "How tC
Take a Case before the National
Labor Relations Board" Bureau OF
Natl Affairs, Washington, 5000
Lou Silverberg's book is not de-
signed for armchair reading. It's
a carefully thought out down to-
earth manual which tells you what
to do and when to do it. It's bound
to turn up on many a desk and get
some hard usage from labor and
management alike.
Primarily the NLRB is a court
Silverberg points out. Congress, in
framing the Taft-Hartley act, set
up the boards general counsel as
a separate unit. Although Silver
berg doesn't say SO, this separation
has caused great confusion height
ened by the antics Of the incum-
bent general counsel, Robert N
Denham.
The boards functions are five.
1t prevents and remedies unfair
practices whether committed by
employers or unions, determines
the proper representatives for col
lective bargaining, determines the
authority to ask for a union shop,
settles jurisdictional disputes be-
hind unfair charges and polls en-
ployes on an employers "final of
fer" in a case which is considered
a national emergency.
The general counsel however, de-
cides when an unfair practice
charge is to be prosecuted or dis
missed. If he dismisses one, there
is nothing the NLRB can do about
it, which is sometimes a source of
trouble under Taft-Hartley. Other
functions of the general counsel
include supervision of the NLRB's
regional offices and supervision of
all attorneys except trial examin-
ers. In addition, it's the general
counsel who goes into court for
an injunction, processes represent
alton cases (under rules laid down
by the board), keeps the non
Communist affidavits and applies
to the federal courts for enforce
ment of board orders. When you
take case to the board, then, you
have to know the right man to see.
That's where Silvelberg's book
comes in handy.
Of course, before a union can
use any of the NLRB's facilities,
its officers must file -Commun-
ist affidavits which are not re-
CURED from corporation executives.
The union must also file additional
documents to be "in compliance,
as board language has it. The non
