'Canada's Steel
Men Act Just
Like Those In US

Ottawa (LPA) = Canada's steel
situation is grim, because the ins,
dustry has refused to expand
There was a shortage after World
War II, and the steelmakers have
done nothing about it.
In December 1947, C. D. Howe,
then Minister of Reconstruction,
said Canada was producing 3,0OO,-
900 tons year, and needed 4,00O,-
900. In January 1949 Babson's
Canadian Reports said "steel is
still the main bottleneck of nation
al productivity" In May 1949 the
government shelved plants for ex-
panding the industry, on assurance
by producers they were improving
methods and increasing capacity.
Between 1899 and 1949 the gov
eminent subsidized the industry to
the tune of $51, ,776, ,438.65. In addi-
ton, the government permitted ac-
celebrated depreciation to three
firms of $14,128,44740 between
1889 and 1916. In the same period
steel profits totalled $58,981, ,586.
Thus, the steelmakers got $51 mill
ion of taxpayers money, made $58
million in profits-and there's a
steel shortage.

V Performers Win First
Pucts After Strike Threut

New York (LPA)-Television
actors, singers, dancers and ann
ouncers won their first contracts
with the TV networks Nov. 10, just
a half hour before a strike dead
line.
The walkout would have tied up
network video programs on Colum-
bia Broadcasting System, Ameri-
can Broadcasting Co. and Dumont.
The chains were bargaining joint
ly along with station WOR-TV.
National Broadcasting Company,
which had been negotiating with
the others, went into separate ne
gotiations the night before, and
reached an agreement several hours
earlier than the others.
Since the American Federation
of Radio Artists had agreed to re-
spect picket lines, radio shows on
the networks would also have been
halted.
Higher minimum pay scales were
won by the performers, as well as
the right to limit film reshowings
of programs. These replays, called
kinescopes, are widely used in tele-
vision industry. From now on the
Television Authority, representing
the five AFL unions involved, must
give it's consent before a show can
be repeated on any station.
The kinescope ruling covers live
shows. The question of movies on
television is now being considered
in a complicated case before the
National Labor Relations Board.
Unions combined in the Televis-
ion Authority are the American
Guild of Variety Artists, American
Guild of Musical Artists, American
Federation of Radio Artists, Actors
Equity and Chorus Equity. One of
the clauses in their new contract
protects members with personal
contracts from any penalty if they
participate in a strike authorized
by the authority.
This means they are free to back
up demands of other unions about
to negotiate with the video net

poses. Massachusetts defeated a
proposal for state lottery, but
voted old-age pensions, which the
lottery would have supported
Arizona defeated a plan to legalize
gambling. Montana turned down a

Steel Shortage
PeriIs Defense,
Says Chapman

Los Angeles (LPA)-Steel-mak-
ing capacity is inadequate, Secre-
tary of the Interior Oscar l.. Chap
man told the American Petroleum
Institute. The shortage, he said, is
threatening both the national de-
fense program and the civilian
economy" Chapman urged n e
steelmakers to "raise their sights"
The shortage Of specialized steel
products for the oil industry is
reaching alarming proportions,
said Chapman, who heads the Pet
roleum Administration for Defense.
He pointed out that oil men have
always feared they would not have
enough, whereas the steel men
"have too often seemed to fear that
they would have too much"
Thus Chapman joined those who
have criticized the steel industry
for years, for its shortsightedness
and for its belief in an economy of
scarcity. Inadequate capacity to
make steel puts the brakes on our
whole industrial machine" Chap
man declared. He said the short
age in materials, equipment, and
facilities required by the gas and
oil industry is growing.
Frank M. Porter, API president,
reported he has been "deluged with
complaints" from producers all
over the country about their diff
ficulty in getting enough steel to
maintain current drilling programs.
A gray market in steel pipes is be-
ing probed by a Senate committee.
Ford has already laid off work
ers because of steel shortages.
Nash -Kelvinator announced Nov.
13 it is stopping production of ref
rigerators and electric ranges at
Grand Rapids and Detroit, because
of steel shortages.
Last week the magazine Steel
forecast "acute steel supply condi-
tions" next year.
The steel industry is now operat-
ing at more than 100 percent rated
capacity, and will expand-in 1852.

Revive yellow Dog Pact
To Bredk Telephone Strike

Washington (LP) A variation
of the "yellow dog" contract has
been revived to try and break the
telephone strike.
Joseph A. Beirne, president OF
the Communications Workers OF
America charged that long-lines de-
partments of telephone companies
from coast to coast have "locked
out" more than 10000 operators
who refused to cross picket lines OF
striking telephone equipment in
stallers.
Beirne charged the companies
with using "yellow dog" contracts
in an effort to break the strike
which began Nov. 8 when 10000
Western Electric Co. equipment in
stallers walked out. He said he will
file charges against the companies
with the Federal Communications
Commission.
A total of $4,000 workers have
walked off their jobs as the result
of contract disputes; another 120,-
900 have refused to cross picket
lines.
In addition to the 10000 equip
ment installers, there are 5000
warehousemen striking against WE
and 1000 production workers out
at YVES Haverhill, Mass. manu-
featuring plant. There are 10000
operators on strike in Michigan.
Chief issues are wages and
hours. The union turned down a
company offer of 91ac an hour, is
holding out for at least 15c. 1t also
wants one-year contract or a
longer contract with reopening
clauses. The company wants to ban
any wage increase for 18 months.
The strike has been effective in
all 43 states it has affected except
in isolated instances. In Alabama
CWA was hindered by statewide
injunction against picketing. In
functions were also issued in six
Indiana cities and in Des Moines
and Cincinnati. A move for an in
junction in New Jersey was to be
heard Nov. 16.
Flying squads of pickets, roam
ing from one exchange to another,
have proved effective in disrupt
ing company plans to make strike
breaking schedules. There has been
little violence. In Brinkley, Ark,
however, Mayor Jack Cox took it
upon himself to arrest two strikers
without warrants because they
"were disturbing the peace in my
presence"
Further meetings were planned
both here and in New York be-
tween union and company officials
and Federal mediators.
Since 1916 the Bell Telephone
Co. has been granted rate increases
amounting to $405,0OO,OO0 a year.
Business Week in its Nov. IL,
1850 issue says, MANY Wall Street
ers think that 1850 earnings will
run above $12 a share, compared
with 1922 in 1949. If they're right,
it will be AT&T's highest earning
rate in many years"
Same publication also says Bell
earnings have jumped about 80 per-
cent.

RAILROAD SHOP
JOB PROSPECTS
CUT BY Diesel

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). -
The trend in railroading from
steam to diesel-electric locomotives
has resulted in reduced job pros
poets for boilermakers, sheet meta
workers, machinists and persons
employed in number of other rail
road shop trades.
This conclusion is carried in q
report, prepared by the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics of the U. S. De-
partment of Labor, for the use ot
Veterans Administration officials
who counsel veterans planning to
train under federal veterans train
ing programs.
One reason for declining employ
ment in the shop trades, the report
said, is that diesels requires less
maintenance than steam locomo-
tives. Another reason is that the
huge diesels require different types
of skill.
BoiIermakers Hardest Hit
Boilermakers have been hardest
hit by the shift to diesel locomo-
tives, the report said, explaining
that from 1916 to 1850 the number
employed by railroads dropped
from 1880 to 9,759-a 25 percent
decline.
Over the same period, the rail
roads employment of machinists
decreased from 45,707 to 40,978
While machinists also maintain
equipment other than locomotives,
a good portion of the decline is at
tributed to the fact that fewer ma
chinists are needed to keep diesel
electric locomotives in working
order.
The bright side of the employ
ment picture, according to the BIS
report, is that the trend to diesels
has created more work for cleo
tricians. In 1916, railroad shops
employed 9,789 electrical workers.
By 1850, the number had increased
by one-third, jumping to 1908.
Traffic Decline Also Factor
Increased use of diesels doesn't
account for the entire drop in en-
ployment of boilermakers, machin-
lists and others, the report caution
ed. Because of a falling off of
traffic, total railroad employment
declined by about 7 percent from
June 1916 to June 1850, so there
would have been some decline-but
not as much-even without disel-
ization.
at is significant" the report
adds, chat employment of electric
Jams increased sharply while total
railroad employment was declin-
ing"
The report pointed out that since
1916, the number of steam locomo-
tives on the roads decreased by 30
percent, while. the number of die
sells tripled over the same period
of time. The steam locomotives
dropped in number from $4,000 to
10000, while the diesel-electrics
rose from 5000 to 5000.

wagging its tail again. During the
telephone strike operators who re-
fused to promise to cross picket
lines of striking equipment Install
ment workers were told not to re-
port to work at other times,
That's the modern version. The
older version goes back to before
the turn of the century, when a
man could not get a job in many
shops unless he signed a card pied
ging not to join a union. If he
didn't sign, he didn't get job; if
he signed later, he was fired. He
was free to quit his job, but he was
not free to join a union and keep
his job.
Things came to a head in 1906
when the United Mine Workers
called a general strike in the soft
coal industry. The UNIV was
pretty stable in Ohio, Illinois, In
diana and Pennsylvania, but it had
made small progress in the south,
particularly West Virginia, and
southern competition was throwing
northern miners out of work.
Miners at Hitchman Coal and
Coke Co. in the West Virginia pan
handle between Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania went out with the rest of
the UNIV, but after six weeks they
asked the company for a separate
settlement.
The firm formed a company
union and took back only those
miners who verbally promised not
to rejoin the UNIV. The UNIV ask
ed for renewal of relations, was
turned down, and then sent Thomas
Hughes, an organizer, to Brentwood,
w. Va.
The company went to the Fed
eral circuit court for an injunction
against Hughes and the officers Of
the UNIV. 1t claimed it had indi-
vidual contracts with the workers
saying they would not join UNIV
and that the mine union was try
ing to make the men break these
contracts. Hitchman presented 28
affidavits and claimed the union
was trying to drive it out of busi-
ness. A preliminary injunction was
issued which barred UNIV from
communicating with the miners in
any manner until a hearing was
held.
Three months later some legal
mind in the company got to think
ing that the verbal promises forced
from the miners might not hold up
in court--so workers were required
to sign printed pledge card. 1T
said the worker was not member
Of the UNIV, had no intention of
joining, was satisfied with the non
union shop, that the company
agrees with me that it will run
non-union while | am in its en-
ploy." The signar also promised not
to try to organize for the UNIV
and to quit his job if he joined the
union.
The preliminary injunction was
granted in October 1907, and the
hearing came the following May.
This time the court granted a tenn
porary injunction, which barred the
union from trying to organize the
men until trial could be held.
This injunction went a little fur
ther than the first one. 1t said the
union organizers could not use
argument, reason, and persuasion"
and could not talk to" HitchmanI
employees cor persons about to en-
ter its employ"
The UNIV moved to strike out
the parts which prohibited peace

ers. 1t took four months to get the
motion heard and five more months
for Judge Allston G. Dayton to de
eide on it. He not only denied the
