Sure. Says Migrdnt Worker

the stigma of charity. He could
take out insurance against illness
and the doctors bill. To this day,
the Workmen's Circle cooperative
health plan is considered a model.
If a worker was stricken with tub
erculosis as too many were in that
era of sunless tenements, cruelty
long working hours, and poor food,
he could be assured of sanitarium
bed. If he died, the cemetery COM
mittee spared his widow the choice
between a pauper's grave or cost
ly funeral.
The Workmen's Circle has pro-
vided benefits and insurance. 1t has
also provided educational and cul-
tural opportunities for its members
and their children-schools, Choir
uses, recreation, publications.
And while the Workmen's Circle
has been building hospitals and
homes for the aged, it has kept
alive, through Collidge prosperity
and Hoover depression, the tradi-
ton which gave the nation such
labor leaders as David Dubinsky
Max Zaritsky, and the late Sidney
Hillman.
Dubinsky, president of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers, will get a plaque at the jubilee
dinner for his labor and humanit-
arian services. He said recently
that the ILGWU and the Work
mems Circle "are both members OF
one family brought into being SIM
ultaneously and united through a
half f-century of striving for COM
mon goals"
Similar messages came frou1
AFL President William Greer
President Jacob Potofsky of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
and Zaritsky, who has just retired
as president of the Hatters union.
Present at the jubilee banquet
will be not only leaders of labor,
veterans, and civil workers, but also
a delegation from the Workmen's
Circle in France.
Unlike many mid-centennial or
ganizations which today are nc
more than quaint ineffective relics
of a colorful past, the Workmen's
Circle continues its vigorous role
in Jewish and labor circles. From
it's office at It's East Broadway, in
New York City, its president, Eph-
in H. Jeshurin and its general sec
retary, Joseph Baskin, supervise a
program that brings help to total
itarian victims abroad, and aid and
encouragement to workers like the
California migrant farm hand at
home.

11-Cent Increase For
New York Transit
Workers Recommended

New York (LPA)-A fact-find-
ing committee named by Mayor
O'Dwyer has recommended an IL
cent increase for the city's trans
portation workers. The board was
named Jan. 9 to study and report
on the dispute between the Board
of Transportation and its 42,OCO
operating employees over wages
hours and working conditions. The
fact finders declared the city's
transit workers are underpaid in
comparison with scales in private
transit companies, and in other
major cities.
The board recommended the IL
cent increase for $4,000 hourly paid
workers; a general increase of $500
year for 3400 annually paid work
ers; increases to transit policemen
three weeks paid vacations after
10 years; Armistice Day as an add
ed holiday; increase in accumulat-
ed sick leave to 96 days; ultimate
establishment of a 40-hour 5-day
week for all transit workers. The
fact-finders forecast improvement
in relations with the transit work
ers if the board improves it's griev-
ance machinery and signs a con-
tract with the unions.

others as you would have them

Texas Labor Wins Ruling
On Minimum Wages

Austin, Texas (LPA) - Texas
labor has won a court victory in its
fight with the state highway de-
partment for realistic determina-
ton of prevailing wages.
In a suit brought by the Ell Paso
Building and Construction Trades
Council, a Court of Civil Appeals
has reversed a lower court, and
ruled that unions have a right to
go into court to defend their wage
scales. The court decreed that the
Substantial evidence" rule applies.
That means the highway depart
ment and other government agen-
cies must be prepared to show sub
stantial evidence supporting any
wage determinations they make.
The lower court had held that the
agencies had almost unlimited dis
cretion in the matter.

Phone Workers
Increase Held Up
BY Court Ruling

Newark, N. J. HPA)-A New
Jersey appellate court granted a
stay May 20 against three key pro-
visions of an arbitration award
given recently to Division So Of the
Communication Workers Of Amer
jca.
Held up pending another court
ruling were $3.50 week pay in
crease for telephone operators, a
reclassification of operators in
seven counties and union-shop
clause requiring new employees to
join the union within 30 days. Stay
was granted at the request of the
New Jersey Bell Telephone Co.
over union protest. The union also
opposed appeal action.
The arbitration award was hand
ed down by five-man panel
named by Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll in
compliance with the state law
against public utility strikes. 1t
affects 12,000 CWA members.
Company attorneys said the wage
increase and other disputed bene-
fits were not justified by the evid-
ence presented to the arbitration
panel, that the award was not in
line with standards set by the
anti-strike law and that the law
was unconstitutional anyway
What's more, they contended, the
award was sure to cost New Jersey
Bell money. A final court decision
is expected in about two months
after appeal arguments are heard.
Meanwhile, it was announced at
CWA headquarters in Washington
that the union has approved four
more contracts with Bell System
companies. These agreements, COW
ering Divisions 49, 16, 81 and so,
bring CWA's 1850 contract total to
l10.
The Division 49 agreement with
Southern Bell covers $4,000 work
ers, congresses the eight-year
wage schedules to 612; increases
starting rates, and reclassifies 80
towns. Compression of schedules
resulted in wage gains.
The Division 81 contract with G
& P of Baltimore also congresses
schedules to 612 years and reclass-
flies II towns. Similar gains were
won in the contract with C & P for
Division 16, and for Division so,
representing Washington, D. c.,
telephone operators.
Increases in top rates for plant
workers running to so monthly
were won in an agreement with
the Saskatchewan G vernm n t

|AFL Calls For
Unified Approach
Fight On Reds

Philadelphia (LPA)-A "unifieC
world approach" to the problem Of
fighting the advances Of commun-
ism was called for by the AF'L Ex-
ecutive Council in a series of re-
solutions on the international sit
uation.
Prepared by the AFL's commit

of the declarations charged there
has been a complete transforma-
tion of the Cominform parties and
fronts into outright quisling agen-
cies and fifth columns" to prepare
for aggressive war" against the
democracies.
] "Moscow's drive for world dom
ination is being stepped up at q
furious pace in ASIA" the state
ment pointed out.
1t urged the United States take
the lead in assuring all peoples not
under the Russian yoke that "they
can count on full American coop
Grafton and assistance in their eff
forts to preserve national freedom
raise their standards of life and
labor, and promote and protect
world peace" These specific steps
were proposed:
() The democratic powers
should together assure the free
peoples of Asia that diplomatic re
cognition will not be given to any
regime "set up by foreign intri-
que and imposed on any country
(2) People of French Indo-China
"should be assured their national
independence as a full standing
member of French commonwealth
of free nations" Military aid
should be provided to "smash Mos
cow-controlled armed bands fight
ing to force Indo-China into the
slave orbit of Russian imperialism
(3) Immediate economic and
military assistance should be pro-
vided to safeguard Formosa against
being overrun by Chinese Com
munist usurpers.
(4) Give adequate food and other
material aid to India.
(5) Effectively carry out Pres
ident Truman's "Point Four"
Another declaration welcomed
Tito's struggle for independence of
Yugoslavia, but at the same time
condemned dictatorial policies pur-
sued by Tito and expressed hope
democratic rights and liberties will
be restored there.
A third declaration urged the
democratic powers to revise their
policies toward Germany. 1t called
for an end to dismantling opera
tions; integration of the German
economy into Western Europe; ad-
mission of the German Republic
into "the community of free ma
tions," and strengthening of the
democratic forces, particularly
labor, within Germany.

Cites State Taxes
As Favoring The
Big Corporations

Lansing, Mich. (ILNS)-Princi-
pal speaker at the May meeting of
the UAW-AFL Western Michigan
District Council was Gov. G. Men
men Williams, who was enthusias-
tically greeted by more than $50
AFL Auto Worker delegates rep
resenting over 20 local unions in
the Wolverine State.
Gov. Williams lashed out at the
gross inequality Of state taxation
in Michigan, pointing out that the
corporations are carrying only 8
percent of the load while the small
consumer is shouldering a stagger-
ing so percent. He declared that
this burden on the consumer was
far in excess Of what it is in other
states and that an immediate rem
edy was imperative to bring about
more equitable balance.
The governor was particularly
critical Of those 26 corporations
which, he declared, had made a
mockery Of the Lincoln principle Of
government by the people, for the
people, and of the people. He said,
that instead, the situation now was
government by the corporations,
for the corporations, and of the
corporations" Correction of this
dangerous condition, he declared,
was possible in only .one way, and
that was for the voters to turn out
and elect representatives who had
the welfare of the people in mind
rather than the interests Of the
big corporations.

ovation and was warmly congratu-

Basing Point Bill
Called Monopoly,
Sent 10 Truman

Washington (LPA) - Despite g
last-ditch fight by Senators Long
Cd, La.), Kefauver Cd, Tenn.), and
Douglas Cd, Ill.,, the bill which
they charged would seriously harm
the antitrust laws was approved
by the Senate, 43 to II. The basing-
point price-fixing bill now goes to
President Truman, and only a veto
can prevent its becoming law.
Spokesman for the National
Farmers Union and the many as
sociations of small businessmen
who have been fighting the bill in
dicated they'll urge Truman to veto
the measure. AFL radio commenta-
tor Frank Edwards pointed out i'm
mediately after the vote that the
bill eliminates competition, hurts
the small businessman, and ulti-
mately hurts the consumer. "While
the real danger of the thing is not
readily apparent" he said, sit will
cost the American public millions
of dollars"
Voting for the bill were 81 Re
publicans and IL Democrats; %
Democrats and two Republicans
voted against it. The Democrats
bolting to the COP side were: Byrd
(Va.), Chapman (Ky), Hoey (NC),
johnson (Colo.), Kerr (Okla)
Maybank (SC), McCarran New,
Myers (PaD, O'Conor (Md.), O'Ma-
honey (Wyo), Robertson (VaD,
Tydings (Md). The two Republi-
cans against the bill were McCar-
thy and Wiley, both of Wisconsin.
"The question:" Douglas said in
the debate preceding passage, rs
whether we are going to let US
Steel dictate to the Congress of the
U.s." US Steel Corp, he charged,
has seized on Supreme Court rul-
ing referring to basing-point to kill
two birds with one stone-to "in-
crease prices during a period of
steel shortage, and blame the high
er prices upon the Supreme Court
decision. On the other hand, they
were able to put squeeze on steel
customers, create confusion, and
get business generally to put the
heat on Congress to legalize the
basing-point system"
The bill would allow big business
to destroy competition in two ways,
Douglas warned: at would legalize
the basing- point system, a method
of price-fixing which has been used
by the members of certain highly
concentrated industries to suppress
competition among themselves. 1t
would virtually repeal the Robin
son-Patman act by legalizing the
discriminatory practices by which
big business destroys it's small
business competitors"
Opponents of the bill, including
Senators Estes Kefauver o.,
Tenn.) and Russell Long Cd. La.)
have tried to get Senatorial atten-
ton to their charges that the bill
would seriously hurt small busi-
neSses.
Proponents of the basing- point
measure took only two hours to
make their case in the Senate, APP
parently confident they h v e
enough votes lined up to pass it on
to President Truman.

TEXAS TOWN BARS UNION
MAN FROM CITY BOARD

Fort Worth, Texas (LPA)-The
city council, 5 to A, rejected the
nomination of Fred Otto to the
city's civil service board because
he is a union leader. Otto is bust
ness manager of the electricians
union. r. E. Cowan, who led the
opposition to Otto, beat down an
organizing drive in his Purina mill
here a few years ago. Bob Mckin-
ley, another Otto foe, baked union
organizing in his iron works not
long ago. Otto's foes admitted they
felt no union leader should have the
civil service post.

POTATO VOTE
CALLED FOR
County Potato Asso. Urges
Farmers to Vote Against
ID. of A. Agreement
VOTE IN MAY

The Kent County Potato Grow
ers Association today urged all
Delaware farmers who raise pota-
toes to vote against Delaware
Maryland Potato Marketing Agree
ment which the U. S. Department
of Agriculture has called for a ref
erendum vote early in May.
The association charged that the
marketing agreement would result
in heavy losses to Delaware farm
ers who raise potatoes, because
such crops in Delaware are not
supported by any noteworthy gov
ernment acreage allotment pro-
gram. The proposed agreement
would compel every farmer who
raises potatoes and sells them, re-
gardless of the amount, to have
their crops federally inspected,
subjected to a handlers fee, and
delivered to market in quantities

With our thermometers, therma-

Humidity effects have not had

We know that a cool, dark and dry

toes, to prevent the appearance of
those long sprouts. eve all know
that these sprouts absorb most of
the potato. May we make a fore
cast-that someday you'll eat

Then, regarding temperatures,
do you know your moulded fruit
salad tastes best if allowed to
stand at room temperature several
minutes before it is served? The
flavor and texture are much i'm
proved during this period of stand
ing.
All fruits served above refriger-
ator temperature have more flavor
than those thoroughly chilled. !"
Citrus fruits and melons are excel
lent examples of this. We still
recommend refrigerator tempera-
lures for storage, but not for serv-
ing.
The garden fresh tomato eaten
at room temperature or at least
above the refrigerator's 40 degrees,
has much more taste than its twin
from the vine served ice cold.
May we assume that everyone
recognizes that refrigerator tenn
peratures are sudden and sure
