Pay Hike And Other Gairs Won BY
Signalmen In Arbitration Decision

Chicago (LPA)-Wage boosts
Of two to three cents an hour were
won by 1900 members of the Rail
road Signalmen May 10 in an ar
bitration award by the Natl Medi-
alton Board.
The signalmen, construction men,
maintenance men and mechanics
are employed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad. In 1948, the Pennsy tried
to take 70 provisions from the
union contract. After bargaining
broke down, 28 Of these demands
were submitted to the arbitration
board headed by David l.. Cole.
Other board members were union
President Jesse Clark and w. G..
Salmonson, assistant chief engine
er of the company's signal and tele-
phone division.
Rulings improving grievance pro-
cedure and correcting working con
dtions on tours of duty also were
handed down.

UphoIsterers Hear
Sen. Humphrey,
BiemiIIer, Rhodes

Philadelphia (LPA) = Sen. HUI
bert Humphrey of Minnesota, Rep.
Andrew j. Biemiller of Wisconsin,
and Rep. George Rhodes Of Pennsy-
lvania were among the speakers
May 6 at the eight-day 26th bien-
NAL convention of the Upholsterers
international Union-AFL.
Biemiller was UIU political edu-
cation director in 1947-48; Rhodes
is former UIU business agent;
Humphrey is former national
chairman of Americans For Demo
cratic Action, UIU President Sal
B. Hoffman is on the national board
of ADA.
Harold Stassen, Guy Gabrielson
and "their fellow Republican blues
shouters", said Biemiller, don't
really believe democracy works. He
said farmers are agreed that "Tru-
man and the Brannan plan offer
the best solution to their problems.
AS for business, it managed to
shake sufficiently loose from its
shackles to pile up record profits
in almost every year of the Tru-
man administration. The trouble
with the Republicans is that they
don't think that what we have in
America really works. They think
it is doomed to break down every
few years and they want to give up,
sit back and wait for the newt
able"
individual freedom and basic
civil rights is one of the most
fundamental issues of our time,
said Humphrey. "The oppressed
people of this world will believe
our words only as they witness our
deeds. We can strike no greater
blow for freedom than to demon
strate our belief in freedom and
human equality by eliminating
from our national scene the last
remnants of privilege, discrimina-
tion and inequality"
Philip M. Kaiser, assistant Sec
retary of Labor, told the delegates
that American labor may well
have saved us from losing the cold
war" He said American labor has
gone wholeheartedly into interna
tional labor activities because they
know that poverty anywhere con-
stitutes a danger to prosperity
everywhere, and because they know
that the cold war is a deadly SER
ious fight for democracy.
Founded in 1892, the UIU is the
largest union in the country in the
field of home, office and institu-
tional furniture and furnishings.
UIU locals represent workers in
upholstered furniture, wood furni-
ture, mattress and bedding, casket,
and canvas and awning industries.

GIN Profits Set New High;
Union Files Strike Notice

Detroit (LPA)-General Motors
Corp, bargaining with United Auto
Workers on new contract for its
285,000 production workers, was
put in the embarrassing position
May 7 of having to release an earn
ings report for the first quarter of
1850 showing the highest profits in
the history Of American business:
$212,3S7, ,765.
This amount, topping even the
company's headline-making profits
in 1949, was pure gravy-with all
expenses and taxes already deduct
ed. 1t reflected record auto and
truck sales of considerably more
than $11a billion.
At the same time, $50 delegates
to the Unions General Motors Con-
ference authorized UAW leaders to
cancel the existing GIN contract
whenever they see fit. The agree
ment can be cancelled on thirty
days notice by either party. A
strike notice has already been filed
by the union under the provisions
of the Taft Hartley act.
Suggestions that some of the
huge pot ($13 million more than a
three-month profit peak reached
last year, be used to either raise
wages or cut car prices have been
quietly ignored by GIN. A letter
from the National City Bank, how
ever, provided the strange argu-
ment that GIN can't cut its prices
below that of other auto manufac-
turers because it would then sell
too many cars and become too big
a monopoly. They can't raise
wages, said the same letter, be-
cause it would "tend to set a patti
ern for the industry generally
UAW wants a $125 retirement
pension from General Motors, $25
higher than similar pensions won
by Ford and Chrysler workers. This
is the amount the union has set for
its 1850 pattern. GIN workers are
also seeking a innocent pay hike
and other benefits.
Last year GM argued that the

City Consumers,
Farmers Watch
Two Farm Bills

Washington (LPA)-Two sets of
hearings on farm bills important to
city consumers have been scheduled
by Chairman Harold Cooley Cd,
NC) of the House Agriculture COM
mittee.
Beginning June 6, his committee
will hear discussion on bill to
"shorten the distance between the
producer and the consumer" by
providing federal assistance in de-
velopment of modern wholesale
markets for perishable food COM
modities in the large consuming
areas. According to Rep. Cooley, as
much as so cents of every dollar
city consumers spend for perish
able foods goes for distribution
costs in the city where the food is
bought. Much of this could be saw
ed by using modern wholesale mar
ket facilities.
A proposal to divorce" the AM
erican Farm Bureau Federation,
most reactionary and anti-labor of
the farm groups, from its connec-
tions with the Extension Service of
the Agriculture Dept will be con-
sidered at hearings. Much of the

ents maintain, grows out of the

claim that operations are "at a re-
cord high" and can be expected to

Rail Conductors
Elect Officers;
Plan Union Shop

Chicago (LPA) - Overwhelming
approval of legislation to authorize
the union shop in the railroad in
dustry was voiced by delegates to
the 44th Convention of the Order
of Railway Conductors this week.
ores retiring president, H. W.
Frazer, made a fighting speech in
favor of such a law, now being con-
sidered in Congress. The basic
principle involved, Frazer declared,
is the question of whether man
has ''the right to take the benefits
of union agreements and at the
same time disclaim any financial
responsibility in maintaining the
union machinery" The union lead
er bitterly attacked the Donnell
bill, also before a Congressional
Committee, which would outlaw
strikes on the nations railroads
and allow long expensive court
cases on matters now settled by the
National lroad Adjustment
Board.
Later in the convention, Frazer
was suddenly stricken by a heart
ailment and rushed to the Illinois
Central hospital. Along with the
unions other top officers, Senior
Vice President F. H. Nemitz and
Secretary Treasurer George H.
Dram, the labor veteran had ann
ounced his retirement on July 81.
R. o. Hughes, for 10 years a vices
president of ORC, was elected to
take his place. John F. Case a vice
president since 1916, was elected
senior vice president, and j. H.
Rodgers, who has also served as a
viee-president for several years,
was elected secretary-treasurer.
The convention went on record
against a plan that Congress is
considering for revamping the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Opposed by all rail unions, the plan
would give the President the right
to appoint commission chairman,
instead of having him chosen by
the commission members.

About Campaign
By SteeIworkers
For Union Shop

Atlantic City (LPA)-lntensifle
political action and an all-out cam
paign for the union shop were
stressed in speeches on the second
day of the fifth annual convention
of the United Steelworkers.
Walter Reuther, president of the
United Auto Workers, and Secre-
tary Of Labor Maurice Tobin stress
ed the need for greater political
activity to increase the pro-Admin-
istration forces in Congress.
Said Reuther: "If our two power
full unions stand together in the
front-line trenches in the struggle
for a fuller measure of economic
and social justice, ! am confident
that there is no power in America
that can stop us in our forward
march to a better life for our peo-
pie"
Steelworkers' president Philip
Murray assured Reuther of his
unions full support if the UAW is
forced to strike General Motors
where the contract expires May 20
and both gave pledges for a joint
fight for the guaranteed annual
wage, union shop, higher pensions
and other gains.
Praising the achievement Of the
Steelworkers in pioneering for pen
sions and social insurance, Reuthei
said it would take 10 to 20 years tC
appreciate the full effects of those
gains. His union is "just opening
the door" as regards pensions, salo
Reuther, and $500 is not enough
He added: 1--WE don't ask for what
the executives get, but we can builc
bit by bit so that in 10 years we
can get the type of pension we are
entitled to and the industry car
afford"
The 2200 delegates cheered wher
Reuther announced GIN 'woulC
have to take care of lot of fac
tory Joes" by providing pensions
and wage guarantees.
He took issue with those who
said this country could not afforo
increased social security, housing
and other items in labor's legisla'
tive program, and said the cost was
nothing compared to the cost of de
preston and war. He called on
labor to prove that "bread anc
freedom can live together in demo
cracy's house"
Tobin said he was confident the
Steelworkers will do their duty
again in helping elect to Congress
those "who will preserve the gains
we have made and will contribute
toward building a more prosperous
economy than America has even
known before" He called last falls
steel strike "a model of restraint.
USA Secretary David j. Melon
aid, discussing the union shop plan
told the convention that although
the Steelworkers had won liz
union shop elections involving 90
0C0 workers by a margin, of 20 to /
the task of pushing through similar
elections for the thousands OF
workers in basic steel will be "a
tremendous problem" Mcdonald
urged the local union representa-
tives and their fellow-members to
"get along with the work of or
ganizing the unorganized in every
single plant" to button up the or
ganization to insure a great maj
ority vote.

A&P Comes Through With
That Ad Promised LONG AGO

uncomfortable three-month silence,
the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Company on May 12 finally print
ed an advertisement it had been
promising the public for many
moons.
The full-page spread in papers
throughout the country blared:
"This Time The Antitrust Law
yers Won A Case Against APP"
"In previous ads" it said, 1--WE told
you about the cases against APP
which the antitrust lawyers lost.
We promised to tell you about this
case they won. Here is the story
of the Danville case"
Why did APP, which had been
printing ads regularly, wait so long
when it came time to tell the Dan
vile story? Why did they wait un-
til they were heckled into it by
their opponents ? Maybe it was be-
cause the story, as told by their ad
man Carl Byoir, had so many holes
in it that it could double for piece
of swiss cheese.
~ The antitrust lawyers in Wash
ington have based their civil suit
against APP "on the fact that they
won a suit against us at Danville,
Illinois, in 1896" the advertisement
declares. "They did. In that case,
Federal Judge Walter C. Lindley
made decision against APP. I'm
mediately thereafter, in a letter
explaining his decision, Judge
Lindley wrote: 81 have not con-
demened the APP system. | have
not made finding which could be
the basis for a suit of dissolution" !"
Why then, the ad asks, do the big
bad antitrust lawyers down in
Washington want to dissolve the
A&P giant? The answer they say,
can only be that the government
wants to destroy" A&P.
The whole ad is based on the
argument that Judge Lindley did
not make any finding that A&P
should be dissolved. What it keeps
from the readers is that Judge
Lindley couldn't possibly have made
any such finding under the law. 1t
wasn't his job to talk about dis
solving the company in the Dan
vile case-which has criminal
case. 1t was the Judges job there
to decide whether A&P was violat
ing the Sherman antitrust Act by
engaging in certain illegal prac-
tices. He found APP was and i'm
posed fines totalling $l75,000
In the civil suit, now brought by
the Justice Dept dissolution Of the
APP octopus can and is being
sought. It's a simple legal differ
ence, matter of law that any law
yer would notice but that most
readers are tricked by.
The other trick on which the ad
hinges is Judge Lindley's state
ment: ~ have not condemned the
APP system" The implication
there is that the Justice Dept has
condemned the system. 1t has not.
The antitrust lawyers are quick
TO admit that A&P has done a mag
nificant job of distribution. Their
attack is not on the system but on
misuse and abuse of the system.
Byoir, A&P public relations adj
visor who has been handling much
of their publicity, was one of the
individuals convicted in the Dan
vile criminal case. He was fined
$4,000. He appealed and his con
viction was re-affirmed. Said the
judge in the higher court: "The
evidence shows that Byoir was
thoroughly understanding of the
practices of A&P. Byoir is no babe
in the woods"
