LABOR UNION !.

LABOR UNION :
ing everything that was needed in
the Office. For several weeks we
used wooden boxs as seats.
Since it was necessary for me
to undertake the task of organic
ing the workers the activities in
the Office were seriously handi-
capped 70 RACK Of adequate assis-.
lance. However, every effort has
been made to improve this situa-
ton. These efforts have resulted
in increased membership increas-
ed wages and better working con-
ditions. For example, the field la
borer who received $3.50 a day in
1916 received $1.84 a day in l947;
$500 a day in 1948 and $40 a day
in 1850 because of the local wage
and hour act.
In the Street Cleaning Division
Of the Department of Public
Works the individual worker re-
ceived $1.44 a day; however,
through representation Of the St.
Croix Labor Union this amount
was increased to $3.50 a day and
later to $500 a day. Today these
workers are receiving $40 a day.
The Longshoremen Division of
u Union has made remarkable
strides. This division was organiz-
ed in 1916. AT that time they were
receiving SOC an hour for a 10
hour day. In 1916 they received
35e an hour for loading sugar; to-
day they are receiving 75e anhour
for an 8-hour day with more fa-
vorable working conditions.
Now, let us pause for a moment
to pay tribute to the late Honor
able D. Hamilton Jackson, found
er and first president of The st.
Croix Labor Union. Mr.. Jackson
during his life time gave inspira-
ton and protection to the work
ing masses of this island. He was
responsible for organizing the first
Labor Union in the Virgin Islands;
he struck the first blow for a free
press and the right to peaceful as
sembly and was editor Of the st.
Croix Herald which championed
the cause of the masses. He was
known also as an educator, labor
leader and jurist.. The Labor
Union is a living monument to his
memory.

Dixiecrat Votes Or
FEPC Rankest
Political Cynicism

WASHINGTON (LPA) - Now that the
w smoke has blown away it's good time
to look at some of the significant features of
the fight in the House over Fair Employment
Practice legislation Much more important
that the fact that the toothless Mcconnell bill
was rammed through are some developments
that the reporters for the dailies with their
eyes on the immediate news breaks, have
ignored
Much has been made of the split in
liberal ranks over whether to vote for the
Mcconnell version of FEPC and thus get some
kind of FEPC bill in the Senate. The division
of opinion was over whether the Mcconnell
bill was worse than no FEPC legislation at
all The feeling was that passage OF the Nc
Connell bill might make it that much harder
to get measure with enforcement powers If
the voluntary measure became law, and then
proved a sham That was tough decision to
make, and sincere men voted their convic-
tons Labor and Negro organizations will re-
spect their judgment, no matter how they
voted on final passage.
The rankest public display of political
cynicism in many a year, though came when
the Dxiecrats first voted early the morning
of Feb % to substitute the Mcconnell bill
for the FEPC with teeth. A few strays who
didn't vote with the Republican majority
when the roll was called the first time were
whipped into line and switched their votes
before the tally was counted. With the honor
able exception of Perkins of Kentucky, and
Garmatz of Maryland, every single Congress
man from south of the Mason-Dixon line
voted to substitute the Mcconnell measure
for the Administrations bill {.
And then few hours later, 100 of the
southern Congressman voted against the
measure which they had supported.
They were not alone. A tough little core
of reactionary Republicans who are to the
right of even the present hard-shelled leader
ship, voted exactly the same as the men from
Dixie did Mark their names will
Here are the 80 northern Republicans who
voted with the 100 southern Democrats Cali
fornia - Anderson and Jackson; Idaho -
Sanborn; Illinois-Allen Arends, Chiperfield,
Church. Jenison, Reed, S impson, Vursell;
Iowa - Jensen; Kansas Smith, Maine -
Fellows III a lie; Massachusetts - Nicholson;
Michigan--Bennett,C Crawford Hoffman, Shafer;
Minnesota - Anderson Andersen, O'Hara;
Missouri - Short; Montana - DEwart; Ne
braska - Curtis; New York - Kilburn, Reed,
Taber; Ohio-Clevenger; Oregon-Stockman;
Penna.-Simpson.
The two Republicans from Tennessee voted
with the Democrats from that state, first to
substitute the Mcconnell proposal for the
FEPC with teeth and then to reject the bill
the next day.
Only four Democrats from border or
northern states voted the Dixie line-Fer-
nandez and Miles of New Mexico Magee of
Missouri and Bolton of Maryland.
The fight now shifts to the Senate, where
an FEPC bill will come up soon, to face the
inevitable southern filibuster. The maneuver-
ing will be just as tricky, and the performance
of some of the Senators will be just as shame
full. And the record made will be something to
remember in November.

Italian Fishermen Aid
September" Shooting

HOLLYWOOD - Unforeseen
shooting problems which arose
on the Italian location of Hal
Wallis September Affair" COM
PEELED cameraman Victor Miner
to improvise substitute methods
on a number of occasions.
An example of emergency
measures which were necessary
during the filming occurred
when Joan Fontaine and Joseph
Gotten played a scene in the
famed Blue Grotto of the island
of Capri. The entrance to the
grotto is barely wide enough to
permit the passage of small
boats and it was impossible to
move the company's generator
through the narrows so that the
scene could be lighted.
Learning that Capri fishermen
did must of their fishing at
night, using powerful headlights
attached to the bows of their
boats to attract their finny quar-
ry, Miner hit upon a plan,
Twelve of the fishing boats were
chartered an dplaced strategicly
about the grotto. Their lights
were switched on, providing the
illumination Miner needed to
shoot the scene.

able displaced persons law?"
Washington guessing is that
Senate will vote such law
but only after battle with SEN
ator McCarran Cd. New.
House has already passed bill
ramoving bias written by 80th
Congress into present law.
Here's way bills shape on
present Congressional Calen-
dar:
1. Oleomargarine tax: Dime
a pound tax on colored oleo,
small tax on white oleo is due
for repeal. Final passage of re-
pealer may come before you
read this.
2. Rent control: Real es-
tate lobby and Congressional
friends are out with meataxe
to kill controls. Present law
expires June 80; group of
Senators hope to kill it off
before then. They'd do it by
refusing further m oney to
u. S. rent control agency, ex-
cept to give staff employees
their terminal pay. If they
succeed, your rent is apt to
go up-plenty.
8. Natural gas: Utility lob
by is pushing hard for Sen
ate passage of Kerr Bill, which
would cost gas consumers sew
eral million a year. Bill would
loosen Federal Power Com
missions regulation of rates
for carrying natural gas across
state lines. Effect of bill would
be to raise those rates, and
cost to ultimate consumers.
House has already passed SINH
lar bill. There's real danger
here for consumers.
4. Civil rights toothless
FEPC bill now in Senate, may
not come up until April. Many
Republicans, having helped re-
move effective privisions from
bill, now will make great show
of fighting for it in Senate.
5. Middle income housing:
It's been approved by both
Senate and House Committees;
may face tough battles in de-
bate; probably has better than
even chance of passage.
6. Taft Hartley repeal: Write
your Senators and Congress

Diana Lynn's Stand-In
Given Important Role

Producer Fred Packard and
Director Gordon Douglas got one
of their leading players for the
John Derek-Diana Lynn starrer,
'Rogues of Sherwood Forest"
right on the set yesterday. She
is Fran Shore, stand-in for Miss
Lynn, who has been cast in the
important role of the milkmaid.
Miss Shore has appeared as the
daughter of Flo Ziegfeld and
Billie Burke in ''The Great Zieg-
field" and has acted many chill
dren's roles in films. In the
years since she has been Miss
Lynn's stand-in, however, she
has refused most roles offered
her, unless they came when they
wouldn't interfere with her
work with the diminutive pian-
ist-star. This role won't inter-
fere, because she will go on be-
ing Miss Lynn's stand-in while
she plays it.

Agriculture Class
Hear PdtrOlntaTl

Certain pieces of farm machinery
and other heavy equipment require a
permit if they are to be moved sew
eral miles over public roads or from
one farm to another according to
Patrolman NJ. 7. Hedleston of the
State Highway Patrol office, in Lima.
Speaking before the Bluffton Vet
erans' Agriculture Glass in the high
school Monday night, Patrolman
Hedleston stated that equipment
over II #. 6 inches high, eight feet
wide or sixty feet in length will re-
quire permit to move on highways
if that move is for hire. Permits
for moving farm equipment of the
size mentioned are issued for ninety
days and may be renewed for six
months. They may be obtained at
the nearest patrol office.
The class also saw film on high
way safety. Highway regulations af-
fecting farm operators were discussed
along with measures to be taken in
the event of accident or mishap.
Twenty local veterans were present
at the meeting.
