Better Attendance
At Meetings Of
Local Union No. II

The attendance At the last meet
ings of Local Union No. IL has
improved and part of the credit is
due President Guy Digman who
does not permit our weekly sessions
to be long drawn-out affairs. The
time is passed when members can
use this as an excuse for not at
tending meetings.
Bro. Ernest Terrence has been
named chairman of a committee
to revise our bylaws. This has
been needed for sometime and the
committee faces a big job.
Chairman George Lanning of the
resolution committee urges all
members who have resolutions to
hand them over to the committee
as soon as possible. Remember all
resolutions have to be drawn up in
the proper manner and presented
before the local for discussion be-
fore they are forwarded to head
equarters.
There have been several trade
questions brought before the local
lately, namely, new shapes, new
articles, percentage rates, etc.
There has also been quite a few
discussions regarding the activities
of the Brotherhood in regards to a
retirement pension plan. Not only
are the members of No. IL inter-
ested in pension plan, but the
trade as a whole is of the opinion
that some plan could be worked out
with the manufacturers.
We noticed in recent issue of
the Herald where the picnic COM
mittee has been appointed to ar
range for the annual outing of the
Brotherhood, and they are planning
for the biggest and best picnic of
all time. From all reports they are
certainly on their way to do just
that. The selection of Meyers Lake
Park for the 1850 outing is a well
come change after so many years
at Idora Park in Youngstown.
The writer would also like to see
an East Liverpool team as one of
the participants i'm the annual ball
game. They proved last year they
have the class and in the writer's
opinion can beat any other ball club
throughout the trade, bar none.

The situation in the coal indus

like conditions and difficulties ex-

ence in the coal industry between
the workers and the operators who
are now engaged in economic strife
over a fair share of the product of
their joint efforts"
Senator Robertson, the Natl
Coal Association, and other pro-
ponents of the bill overlook "the
vital distinctions between commod-
tiles and articles of commerce, and
the labor of a human being" Green
insisted. "The basic fallacy of the
Robertson bill, as well as of all at
tempts to include the labor of hu-
man beings within the provisions
of state or federal antitrust laws,
is an unwillingness to recognize
the great moral truth once clear
ly recognized by Congress in the
CLAYTON act and recognized bv all
civilized societies anywhere-that
the labor of human being is not
an article or commodity of COM

not be sold apart from the work

HOME BUILDERS PLAN $4,000
FUND TO FIGHT COOP HOUSING

Chicago uPA) "A haif-miillon
dollar "public relations" fund will
be raised and spent by the Matt
Association of Home Builders to
fight those menaces to "free enter
prise'-public housing and coop
erative housing. This was ann
ounced by newly-installed Presi-
dent Thomas p. Coogan at the
NAHB's annual convention here.
This would make NAHB, espec-
tally in combination with the Natl
Association of Real Estate Boards,
which reported lobbying expendi-
lures of $138,600 last year, one of
the biggest national pressure
groups.
Major targets of the Home
Builders in the year ahead, as dis
cussed at the convention, will be:
Ito block local public housing.
"The best bat" to stop authoriza-
tion of local public housing, Cen
eral Counsel Herbert Cotton told
the builders, sis by compelling a
public VOTE" In Grand Rapids,
Mich. delegate reported that 1--WE
weren't afraid to tell the voters of
our town that we were selfiah
about this question of public hous-
ing. We were against it because it
was hurting our pocketbooks, and
we said so. You can't be wishy-
washy about it."
2-To slow down the cooperative
housing bill, already approved by
Senate and House Banking COM
mittees, and soon to reach the
floor of Congress. Early in the
week, outgoing President Rodney
Lockwood called for an "investi-
cation of present housing co-ops..
Later, the delegates decided to
use the 100000 fund to counter
act this and other measures that
might make it a little tougher for
them to coin big profits.
3-To oppose any extension of
federal rent control beyond June,
when the present law expires.
However, Housing Expediter Tighe
Woods, who runs the federal rent
control agency, told a reporter dur
ing a visit to the convention that
ne will propose to Congress anoth-
er one-year extension, with new
provision that areas which have
voluntarily moved to decontrol |

Union AssaiIs GIN
For Cutting Pay
After Big Profits

Detroit (LPA)-GeneraI Motors
Corp. cut wages 2 cents an hour
under the wage formula in its con-
tract, and at the same time an
nounced price cuts of $40 to $40.
The UAW Immediately assailed the
action.
T. A. tombstone, director of the
UAW General Motors department,
said the union had anticipated the
drop in the BIS cost of living
index, and had asked GIN to waive
the reduction, contending the pro-
fit position of GIN made such
cut morally indefensible." He
pointed out that when the contract
was signed "it was hardly antici-
pated that GIN would set a world
record of 5000 million profits after
taxes"
He called the price cuts
token, and asserted that in pre-
vious cuts in one model the cut was
made by removing certain acces-
sories from standard equipment
and charging separately for them,
so that the 1850 price with those
accessories was above the 1949
price.
GIN declared 100000 hourly rate
employees will be cut cents an
hour, and 72,000 salary employees
will be cut $40 for the next quar-
ter-March, April and May. Under
the contract, wages and salaries
are adjusted quarterly in line with
the increase or drop in the Con-
sumner Price Index. The Index Jan.
Is was 1863, and Oct. 15, 1949 it
was 1855. fo

Pres. Green Scores Bill To
Restore Injunction Weapon

Washington (LPA) = The AFL
"is unalterably opposed to the Rob-
ertson bill with it's restoration OF
the injunction weapon" AFL Pres
,ident William Green told the Sen
)hte Banking subcommittee. The
bill, sponsored by Sen. Willis Rob
ertson Cd, Va.), is aimed ostensibly
at the United Mine Workers. 1t
would in effect subject all unions
to the anti-trust laws.
Green warned that "almost any
strike in any large industry OF
trade could be enjoined regardless
of whether a critical or national
emergency stage had been reached.
The bill would open large new
field for the expansion of govern
ment'. 1t would add further to the
mischievous effects of government
by injunction already partially re-
stored by the Taft-Hartley law"
1t would be possible for each and
\every federal court, if the Robert
json bill was made law, said Green,
to determine for itself whether
any particular strike should be en-
joined. The courts determination
might be ever SO erroneous, biased
or arbitrary, still the only remedy"
Green warned, would be the time
consuming appeal to the Court of
Appeals and then to the US Sup
RENE Court, ''by which time, of
course, the strike would have been
irreparably lost" Under the Taft
Hartley injunctions obtained by
NLRB General Counsel Robert
Denham, Green pointed out, it has
taken IL or 18 months in some
cases from the time Denham OBJ
tanned the injunction until the
Board over-ruled him.

President Duffy
Present At Last
Meeting Of No. S6

Local Union sc has made much
progress during the past month,
thanks to recent visit from our
national president, James M. Duffy.
His advice and counsel on issues at
hand and the proper procedure to
follow in meeting any new pro-
blems that might arise, is bound to
benefit our members. We thank
President Duffy for his visit and
hope he can find time to drop in
on US again real soon.
President Gus Sharkey continues
to WELD a wicked .gavel, but not to
the extent of curbing discussions
on any trade problems. Gus be-
lieves in sticking to the point and
letting everyone have his say, but
he does not allow our meetings to
be lengthy affairs. This, | believe,
hes been instrumental in increas-
ing our attendance at meetings.
Quite discussion was held re-
garding foremen doing warehouse
work. 1t seems when some of our
former members become supervis-
ors, they take an entirely different
attitude on trade matters than
when they were working at the
trade. Perhaps the old saying,
"they must learn the hard way"
will be the answer.
After quite discussion in re-
CARDS to helping the miners who
are on strike, the general opinion
seemed to be that the national
union should, in some way, help the
miners. --O.C. Sc

Tibet sAppeaI toU. n.
Heads for PigeonhoIe
For Lack Of Sponsor
by the Assoeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. IA
Tibet's appeal for United Nations
assistance to repel Chinese Com
munist invaders appeared headed
for the "file and forget" cabinet
today.
No U. N. member appeared will
ing to shoulder the responsibility
of sponsoring Tibet's plea in the
Security Council. Since the remote
Himalayan theocracy is not a U. N.
member, 1t cannot present the plea
directly.
The two governments most di-
rectly concerned-India and Ma
tionalist China-both take the at
titude that Tibet is a part of
China and, therefore, the conflict
is a civil war not subject to U. N.
jurisdiction.
Although both countries are
highly opposed to the Red use of
force against the 3 million people
IN the mountain land, they feel
that the legal niceties prevent
interference.
The United States has not yet
studied the 1,200-word communi-
cation from Tibetan Finance Min
lister Tsepon Shakabpa to Secre-
tary General Trygve Lie, but its
representatives gave the impres-
sion that 1t was much too en-
crossed in the Korean campaign
to take On the main burden of q
new war.
Ernest A. Gross, American dep
uty delegate. told newsmen last
night that the United States was
consulting Informally on Tibet
but would not take a definite stand
until the correspondence was
thoroughly studied.
In the meantime. he said, the
United States was concentrating
its efforts on an attempt to get
Red China out of Korea.
He denied accusations in some
newspapers that the invitation to
the Communist Peiping govern
ment to send representatives here
constituted appeasement.
It was, he said, part of the
Councils aim of limiting the war
The American delegate asserted
however. that the tone of Peiping's
reply to the U. N. invitation has
swung a majority of the Council
behind the United States position
that it might as well go ahead i'm
mediately with discussion of q
resolution ordering Chinese troops
out Of Korea. The same resolu.
ton promises to respect the borde,
between China and Korea ane
assures Peiping that U. N. forces
have no aggressive aims.

that is now complicated by the
