Central Bodies
Big Factor In
Labor Conditions

Champaign, Ill. (ILNS).-Good
community relations-carried out
by central labor union-have a
lot to do with improving the liv-
ing standards of union members, it
was emphasized by delegates to a
conference on Central Labor Union
Activities held recently at the Uni
versity of Illinois.
"If we can get members of the
chamber of commerce and other
employers to know and work with
US on other things" one delegate
pointed out, at will be lot easier
to get better wages and working
conditions in negotiations with
them"
This was one Of the main topics
discussed at the conference on
Making Central Labor Union Pro-
grams Work. The conference was
sponsored by the Illinois State Fed
Grafton Of Labor and conducted by
the university's Institute of Labor
and Industrial Relations and Divis-
ion Of University Extension. For
two days representatives from the
.ISFL and CLU's in Illinois discuss
ed the CLU program-what it
should be and how to make it work.
National and state AFL leaders,
CLU officials in the state, and uni
versity faculty spoke to the group
and served as panel members.
Community Relations Important
Delegates agreed that the main
purpose Of the central labor union
is still the traditional one of pro-
viding services to affiliated unions
and Of carrying on AFL legislative
and political activities in their
communities. These programs are
being carried out effectively, a poll
Of selected central labor unions
showed.
However, community relations is
a new and important part of the
Gu program the delegates point
ed out. Services to unions and re-
lations with government will not
be effective" one delegate pointed
out, unless we participate in COM
munity affairs. Labor should get
civic minded"
The CLU poll showed that few
central labor unions are carrying
on many community activities.
James A. Brownlow, president of
the AFL Metal Trades Department,
spoke on What Will National De-
fense Controls Means for the Labor
Movement" He said the nation is
a period of long-run crisis.
'1n the long pull" he said, "labor
will have to bear the brunt of sac
rifice" He pointed out that the
AFL is insisting on full participa-
tion in policy decisions, and it re-
fuses to be an errand boy, carry
ing out policy in which it has no
representation.
Gu Activities Broadening
In a welcoming address, Reuben
G. Soderstrom, president Of the III
inois State Federation Of Labor,
that the most import
ant function of a central labor
union is in drawing all of the
unions in the municipality togeth-
er. In most Illinois communities"
he said, "the CLU's have not only
succeeded in representing wage
earners, but have also gained and
retained the respect of all the other
elements in the community"
In a talk on the historical de-
of the CLU, Phillips L.
Garman of the u. of |. Institute,
pointed out that in recent years
political activities have been in
creased "as it becomes clear that
many of labor's goals cannot be
achieved by collective bargaining
alone"

Medics Send A Boy
To Do A Mans Job

Cleveland (LPA) - The Ameri-
can Medical Association has "solv-
ed" the problem of keeping the
nasty old governments nose out of
medical affairs. 1t has appropriate
ed $500,000 for unrestricted aid to
the nations 70 accredited medical
schools.
That comes to $6329.11 per
school.
The bill introduced in Congress
for aid to medical education calls
for $250,000,000. The ANA wants
no part of it. 1t says federal sub
sidy has come to be a burden, not
a bounty, for it is bringing intol-
cradle increases in taxation and it
is dangerously increasing federal
controls over our institutions and
the lives of people
The ANA wants no federal aid
for medical schools "unless all
other means of financing have been
exhausted" That's the reason for
the $5O0,000 gift, which the ANA
hopes will stimulate other organ
izations, businesses and individuals
to give.
The $5OO,OOO came from the
funds of the National Education
Campaign, the ANA branch set up
to fight the Administration COM
pulsory health program. The money
was tabled "a realistic blow at
federal subsidies" and the hope
was voiced that "the financial Sc
curity of our medical schools will
be assured and their freedom pro-
tected."
DR.. Louis H. Bauer, chairman of
the ANA House of Delegates, ad-
mitted the schools are overcroWd-
ed now, that financing is zone OF
the most pressing problems" fac
ing the profession, and said he
hoped the ANA donation would
'start a chain reaction"
DR.. Dean Sherwood Luce, "a, of
Mass, elected family
doctor of the year," told the medi-l
COS that there is a tendency for|
700 many doctors to look on medi- |
cine as a means of gaining influ-
ence. There is more to practicingl
medicine than just making money!
or applying the proper techniques."

Joseph N. Weber
Musicians Past
Executive Dies

Los Angeles.-AFL Vice Pres
ident Joseph N. Weber, president
emeritus of the American Fedora
tion of Musicians which he helped
to found, died at his home in Bev-
erly Hills, Calf.
Mr.. Weber was bQrn in Austria
Hungary and came to the United
States when Ia years old. He began
a musical career in this country
playing at the Tabor Opera House
lin Denver, Colo. There with other
musicians he organized the Denver
Musical Union.
At the invitation of AFL Pres
ident Samuel Gompers, this Denver
local joined with other musicians
locals around the country to form
the American Federation Of Music
ians at indianapolis, Ind, in 1896
Mr.. Weber became president OF
the musicians international union
in 1900 and held the position for
40 years until his retirement in
1910 at the Indianapolis conven-
| tion.
At the AFL Goth convention in
Houston last September, he was
congratulated by President William
Green on the 59th anniversary of
his marriage, Sept. %, 1891, at
Denver, Colo, to Gisela Liebhold.
Mr.. Weber was called to the con-
vention platform and given an ova-
tion by delegates.
He responded by recalling the
early days and difficulties of or
ganizing musicians, through all of
which Mrs. Weber helped him.
"When | became president of
that organization we had scarcely
5000 members" he said. Because
of a heart attack | was forced to
refuse the nomination for the pre-
sidency in the 10th year of my SER
vice and at that time | turned over
100000 members and 600 local
unions and one of the best organ
lied unions in the American Feder-
alton of Labor or anywhere else.
81 had become a fanatic in doing
something for the musicians. Our
economic conditions were very bad.
We had no respect, either socially
or economically from anybody. And
so | became a fantic in this work,
but without the help of my good
wife it would have been impossible
for me to have done the work
which | did do.
"The first desk that the president
of the American Federation of
Musicians had was bought by Mrs.
Weber and paid for at a dollar a
week.
81 joined the American Fedora
tion of Labor in 1887 and | pre-
sided over 40 conventions of the
American Federation of Musicians,
was a delegate to the American
Federation of Labor SO times, and
a member of the executive council
25 years.
at was a happy life for both of
US, although a short period. Fifty
nine years is a long time to look
forward to but when | consider myI
life it was only a short
dream"
During the Houston conventionI
Mr.. and Mrs. Weber were honored
at a dinner given by the Musicians
local in that city and attended byl
AIM President James C. Petrillo,
who succeeded Mr.. Weber.

ICFTU STRIKES
HARD AT REDS

Brussels, Belgium, (LPA)-The
international Confederation Of Free
Trade Unions can point to some
important achievements in the II
months since it was born last Dec
.ember in London, according to j.
H. Oldenbroek, ICFTU general sec
retary. Among the achievements
he lists the following mot necess-
arily in order of importance):
Establishment Of an internation-
al headquarters in Brussels where
there now is staff of 40, includ-
ing persons of II nationalities
speaking IA languages. Establish
ment of offices in New York last
July and, more recently, in Singa-
pore. Another office will soon be
opened in Geneva, Switzerland.
Enlargement of the number Of
workers represented by a million
through the addition of six coun-
tries-Colombia, Falkland Islands,
Malaga, New Zealand, Pakistan and
Thailand, plus the Swiss Trade
Union Federation which joined only
Professionally in the beginning.
Establishment Of a European
secretariat to coordinate the work
of the ICFTU's 21-million strong
European affiIiates, to discharge
the duties formerly the responsible
ity of the Trade Union Advisory
Committee to the Marshall Plan
and to coordinate the ICFTU's|
activities in connection with the
Schuman Plan for steel integration.
Sharp blows against the Com
munists in Asia by bringing more
A s i a tic workers into ICFTU.
Burma is expected to join the
Asiatic list noted above.)
Sharp blows to the Communists
in Central and South America
where the Red-led World Fedora
tion Of Trade Unions is reported
Sin steady decline"
More heavy blows to the Com
munists in Africa where the Gen
eral Workers Union of Tunis al
ready has left the WFTU and may
join the ICFTU as may otherl
African labor groups.
Steps toward European integra-
ton through participation in such
programs as that offered by thel
Schuman Plan. ("In spite of GER
tain reservations, on which we still
have to be satisfied, we are, for in
stance, supporting the SchumanI
Plan," says Oldenbroek. MANY of
-he recommendations we have made
for improving it in the interest of
,he workers concerned have beenl
accepted, and we are being asked
% nominate candidates for the
High Authority and other bodies
which will be administering the un-
lertaking.")
Steps toward the improvement
If the lot of workers everywhere
through activity in the Economic
Social Council of the United Ma
ions in which the ICFTU has con-
ultative status, and through activ-
ty in the International Labor Of
ice.
"We believe, however, that the
otalitarion menace can best bel
.verted by the implementation of
,ur demands for social progress,
specially in the under-developed
reas of the world" Oidenbroek
ays. "The executive board at it,
