Detroit (LPA)-Wage boosts of
10 and Is cents hourly and new
five-year contract have been won
by Local 155, United Chemical

provement wage increase of four
cents hourly. Wages will also be

Local Union 124 goes back to
their regular weekly meeting
schedule starting this month and
Judging by the various reports of
trade matters to be adjusted, the
switch over to meeting every Tues
day night will help materially to
clear up these problems.
While some of our problems
have not as yet reached the dang
er stage, the longer they hang fire
the more serious they become. We
must also not overlook the fact
that in far too many cases the de-
lay in adjusting these matters gen.
orally lies among our own men,
bers. They can be settled in a
peaceful manner if the local has all
the facts at hand.
Let's all band together as a unit
and meet the issues at hand. Don't
be one who will tell your troubles
to your buddy and ask him to
bring it up at local. Be big enough
to protect your own interests and
in so doing you will be protecting
the interests of your trade as a
whole. The time is at hand to bury
the hatchet and function as trade
unionists.

Washington (LPA) = Textiles,

Right To Picket
Radio Station
Upheld By Court

New York (LPA) - Unions in
the entertainment field are within
their rights when fighting against
labor-saving devices, the New York
Supreme Court has ruled.
The decision, handed down Sept
/ % by Justice Aron j. Steuer, was
major victory for the American
Federation of Musicians. Steuer
withdrew an injunction which has
restrained the AFL union from
picketing radio station WINS.
AIM Local S02 resumed picketing
Immediately.
In April, WINS discharged it's
staff orchestra and has been using
recorded music exclusively as a
substitute. Justice Steuer held that
the unions objection was within
the meaning of New York's little
Taft Hartley injunction law.
A dispute exists, the Justice said,
whenever a union in the entertain
ment field Is fighting against
labor saving devices which are in
direct competition with human
labor. He distinguished this from
other industries where labor-saving
devices are utilized.
The court also drew a distinction
between this and 1941 case where
the musicians union had picketed
to force an employer in a new in
dustry to use musicians where
none had been previously employ
ed.
In the present case, it held, the
union was seeking the maintenance
of employment and had legal
right to picket in order to protect
its membership.

Hosiery Workers
Win 25-Cent Raise

Philadelphia (LPA) = Approx
mately 10000 full-fashioned hos
iery workers in 38 mills through
out the country won an increase
averaging 25 cents an hour from
an arbitration board. The hourly
wage for production workers was
upped to $1.75. The hike is as high
as 45 cents in some departments.
When other contracts held by
the American Federation of Hos
iery Workers are amended to in
clude the increase, 10000 more en-
ployes will be affected, the board
said. The panel termed the agree
ment a "pacemaker for the entire
industry" and said it was based on
current changing economic condi-
tions" and the general nationwide
lift in union wages. The tribunal
had cut wages an average of 20
cents last April and said their pre-
sent decision took this into account.
The two-year contract, retroactive
to Sept. l, leaves the way clear for
future wage changes upward or

of living and general conditions"

Peace At Stake
In November Vote,
Truman Declares

Washington LPA)-Peace is at
stake in the November elections,
President Truman declared in a
nationwide broadcast Sept. 27 OBJ
serving Democratic Women's Day.
Although the broadcast was spon-
sored by the Democratic Party, the
President did not appeal directly
for election of Democrats.
Declaring he was addressing all
the women in the country, Truman
said: "The Congress you vote for
on Nov. 7 will have much to do
with whether we are TO achieve our
goal Of peace or be plunged into
another war. In that Congress
there should be no room for men
or women who put partisan advant-
age above their country's welfare.
"The future of your jobs and
your homes depends on the kind Of
government you have. Having the
right kind of people in public Of
flee is worth much more, in terms
of your own future welfare, than
any time or trouble involved in
getting out to vote.
"Be sure that the candidates you
vote for are not the kind of people
who will try to divide US over petty
issues or weaken our international
position for purely partisan rea-
sons.
Zone of the greatest eontribu-
tions you can make is to study the
issues of this campaign and to
vote wisely in November. Do all
you can to make sure that the can
you vote for on election day
will help to win the peace. Do all
you can to make sure that they
will keep America strong and
free"

.T-h Law Branded
Gravest Threat To
Building Trades
(By N. B. o. p. Delegates)

Houston, Tex. (LPA)-Greatest
threat to unions in the construction
industry is the Taft Hartley act
So President Richard j. Gray OF
the AFL Building & Trades De-
partment reported to the Depart
ment's annual convention, which
opened here Sept. 25.
II am far from optimistic about
the future of our organizations if
we are forced to live for long under
the Taft-Hartley act" Gray told
the delegates.
"No single group has been so
adversely affected as us. And we
have not yet felt the full impact of
the law since the continued high
level of activity in our industry
has made many anti-union con-
tractors unwilling to take action
which might interrupt their work. "
Gray cited the fact the injunc-
ton provisions of the TIL act have
hit construction unions the hardest.
Out of the 82 injunctions applied
for up to June 80 by former Gen
eral Counsel Robert N. Denham of
the National Labor r a o n S
Board, all but three were against
unions, and q of them were
against building trades unions,
Gray explained.
"Our best efforts have failed to
protect US against the destructive
effects of the worst anti-labor leg
islation this country has ever
known" he said. "Our efforts to
repeal the TIL act must be re-
doubled in the months to come"
Gray pointed out that costs of
building materials are shooting up
again and that efforts are again
being made to place much of the
blame for the increase on labor"
"That this is false is shown by
the recorded increase in hourly
wage rates and weekly earnings of
building tradesmen, Gray said.

Ewing Hits ANA
For Holding Down
Number of Doctors

New York (LPA)-Trained ply
|sicians are desperately needed, but
the American Medical Association
bars the path, according to Oscar
R. Ewing, Federal Security Admin
istrator.
He made the charge in an adj
dress, Democracy At The Cross
roads,, before the American jew
ish Congress Sept. %.
(The ANA is launching a ma
tioh-wide million-dollar advertising
campaign Oct. 8 against 'socializ-
ed medicine" Other groups, in
cluding drug houses and insurance
firms are expected to spend an ad-
ditional $19,0O0,000 in "tie-in" ad-
vertising. The ANA has made
common cause with the major re-
dictionary lobbies of the nation.
Their stated aim is to repeal all
the social welfare legislation of
the New Deal and Fair Deal, and
block any advances.)
Ewing, in his address, declared
1--WE cannot afford to turn our
backs on those social programs"
and gave the proposal for federal
aid to medical education as an ex-
ample. Pointing out that "the cost
of producing a doctor is greater
than any medical school can af-
ford", he said that situation" when
we are building an armed force of
millions of men is more than SER
ious, it is critical"
The federal proposal was to give
funds to medical schools so they
could increase the size of the stu
dent body. He pointed out that the
prospective students were for it,
the deans of medical schools for it,
liberals everywhere were for it
but the ANA was opposed, and it
was powerful enough to bottle the
plan up in a House Committee.
Shortage of medical personnel,
said Ewing, is threat to the very
safety of our country. 1--WE cannot

There has never been a strike or

courts, and conciliation has been
used only twice. The corporation
has expanded steadily, prospered,
wages have been satisfactory, work
steady, and turnover low.
Marathon operates paper plants
in Wisconsin and Michigan with
5000 workers, and 2400 more in
Ontario, Canada. Most of it's work

Interest in the pension plan
among members is running
very high. Perhaps no feature
of a wage agreement has been
SO earnestly desired as that of
a retirement plan. Many indus
tries have granted their work
ers substantial wage increases
during the last several months.
Business in the pottery indus

brisk and all indications are
for steady operations for quite
sometime in the future.
