THE COUNCIL, facing another sessi,

THE COUNCIL, facing another session, must strive to
take a broader and more complete look at the picture. 1t must
keep in mind that the people Of this Island want and demand
that their interests come first, and that petty chickering's be
lett out completely In going to the Legislative Assembly in
ST. Thomas, the local Councimen must be broad in their out
look to think in terms Of the Virgin Islands as a whole, yet
keeping in mind the basic interests of St. Croix. It is no more
difficult a task than faces a Congressman.
GOING TO H Council for the first time are Herbert
Haywood, Cyprian Caroline and Raymond Pedro, some Of
whom won by narrow margins over their opponents. These
men will no doubt carry new ideas to the legislature, and they
should not wait to plunge into the thick of things and make
their contribution. However, if they sit smugly by while 9TH
ers carry the ball, their election will have been an utter fail
IRE. Nor should these men find themselves in an opposing
minority merely for the sake Of being different. The idea that
the best interests Of the people of this Island come first applies
also to these newcomers. Two of the new members, Eric H.
Carroll and Aloysius James had served with credit in Council
before-Mr. Carroll for years and Mr.. James for 2-and can
be counted on to do SO again.
BETWEEN NOW and the time for the swearing in Of
the new Council much can be done, and those who will not
return should not refuse to do their best merely because their
stay is short. That is poor s~portsmanship. Then, too, these men
might again want to seek seats, and that will certainly be a
barrier.

THE ELECTION IS OVER

II ELECTION is over, and the people of St. Croix
have spoken. The election returns are known to all, but what
may be behind it all can stand looking into.
H RETURN Of a majority of the Comcilmen is clear
indication that the people of this Island think a good Job was
being done, and that the best way to show that thought was
to send back most of the men. And it is good that this was
done. The Council, looking at its work over the past two wears,
did perform a good job. No doubt other matters could have
been handled, more efficiently, but on the whole the work
stoodup.

THAT debate had many facets,
one of which has direct bearing
on today's problems. That occasion
arose with the proposed strange al
lance between the United States

and Communist Russia at the time
of Hitler's attack on Stain in June
1941. Mr.. White and / both pro

The record is clear that we both

the free world was the mutual ex-
haustion of these two dreadful de
spotisms. Russia and Germany.
eve agreed that when the day
came that they were sufficiently
exhausted to listen to the military,
economic and moral powers of the
United States-at that moment,
and at that moment only, could the
United States promote a just and
lasting peace.
"Many other Americans held
similar views. President Truman,
then a Senator, on June %, 1941,
expressed somewhat these ideas.
Confirmation of the rightness
of that position has already been
the verdict of many masters of
history. Seldom has advice in war
been so quickly justified by the
development of world events. With
that wrong turning, the United
States was to prove powerless to
bring lasting peace"

Butcher Unions Will Negotiate
Jointly With Big Meet Pockers

Chicago (LPA)-CIO and AFL
meat packing unions will cooperate
closely in their current negotiations
with the top companies in the in
dustry, it was announced July "a.
In joint statement, President
Earl w. Emerson Of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters-AFL and Pre-
sident Ralph Holstein of the Pack
inghouse Workers-CI0 said:
"Our unions will work together
in these negotiations to stop the
back-breaking speedup, raise
wages, and establish a decent pen
sion and insurance program for
the clearinghouse workers"
To reach satisfactory agreements
with the employers, the two unions
will use all their resources jointly.
Neither will conclude contract
until both have thoroughly discuss
ed the situation.
When the announcement was
made, negotiations were in pro-
gress with Armour & Co. Meetings
with other major packers were
scheduled to begin soon, however.
The two unions speak for more
than 80 percent of production and
maintenance employees in the meat
industry.
This year "more than ever be-
fore" meat workers need united
action, Helstein and Emerson said.
AT the expense of the public, sky
rocketing meat prices are sending
packers profits TO new peaks. The
packers are turning out higher
volumes of production while ruth
lessly cutting labor costs. Longer
periods Of layoff and reduced work
actually have lower
ed the annual earnings of our MEM
bers.
"In addition, heavier job loads
and inhuman speedup methods are

AFL And The Clio
Set Up Permanent
Unity Committee

Washington OPA) Movin z
further toward labor unity, the
AFL and CIO are establishing. a
permanent unity committee, de-
signed to last until it's goal is ac-
hieved."
The announcement was made
after meetings in Washington July
25 and 26 at which representatives
of the two organizations named a
two-man committee to make ar
rangements for the permanent
group, which plans to meet in Chi
cago, August a. At that time it
will elect a chairman and secretary.
Between now and the time that
complete organic unity is achieved
other steps toward the goal will be
taken, the labor leaders said. 1t is
hoped that non-raiding agreements
will soon be worked out between
major unions.
President Charles MacGowan of
the AFL Boilermakers and CIO
Vice-President Allan S. Haywood
have been selected as the drafting
committee which will make the ar
rangements for the permanent
group.

Washington UPA) - The aver
age factory workweek in mid-June
was 4015 hours, exceeding 40 for

Unions. Ship Owners Join
Forces To Bur Communists

Washington (LPA)-Represent-
,atives of CIO and AFL maritime
unions together with ship owners
and operators adopted a voluntary
plan here to keep Communists off
American merchant ships. The plan
which will be administered by the
Coast Guard, is aimed at assuring
safe transport of men and supplies
to Korea and other threatened
areas.
The Coast Guard, guided by in
formation from the FBI and Office
of Naval Intelligence, will have
authority to reject seamen believ-
ed to be subversive. All persons
affected will have the right Of ap-
peal, and it was made clear that
nobody would be allowed to class
union activity as disloyal.
The meeting here was called by
Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin
and Secretary of Commerce Charles
Sawyer with the sanction Of Pres
ident Truman. Both cabinet offic-
ers attended, as did Chairman Paul
Herzog of the National Labor Re
lations Board and officers of other
government agencies having any
connection with maritime labor
Among the union officials pre-
sent were: Joseph Curran of the
N tional Maritime Union-CIO;
Paul Hall of the Seafarers Inter
national Union-AFL; Matthew Du-
shane of the STU; V. ]. Malone of
the unaffiliated Marine Firemen
H. L. Daggett of the Marine En-
gineers-CIO; Capt. c. F. May OF
the Masters, Mates & Pilots-AFL;
and spokesmen for the SIU's Pur-
sers Division, the Radio Officers
Union-AFL, American Radio AS
sociation-CIO, independent unions
of pursers and tankermen, and the
Pacific Marine Stewards Union.
Not invited to the meeting Were
Harry Bridges International Long
h ore m e MS & Warehousemen's
Union and Hugh Bryson's Marine
Cooks & Stewards, both under fire
for following the Communist line
However, the strong non-Commm-
ist element of Bridges union was
represented by j. A. Hopkins of
Local 10, Thomas D. Kelley of
Local 81, and Philip Sandin of
Local 10, Bridges own local.
The three ILWU members join

pie Of this country as well as other
countries.
Several of the labor leaders
who participated in the unity dis
cussions are holding meetings with
National Security Resources Board
Chairman Stuart Symington to dis
cuss the problems Of industrial
mobilization. Observers believe the
unity move may help labor to get
more Of voice in the NSRB pro-
gram.
Haywood expressed "faith" that
unity would be worked out, COM
menting that there is "a healthier
atmosphere here than ever before
and keen desire to meet with sue
cess" AS to the United Mine Work
ers and the Machinists, he declared
"We will give consideration TO
bringing other unions in when we
get some of the brush cleared
away from the AFL and Go"
The first formal declaration of
AFL-CIO unity in political action
on the national level was issued by
the group. Haywood pointed out
that the organizations "have been
working together for two years
now" but had never announced that
they were. Over 30 state and city
United Labor Committees have
been functioning during 1850.
MacGowan said the declaration
"gives impetus to cooperation in
the field" The two groups will
continue also to work together in
the international Confederation Of
Free Trade Unions and in the field
of legislative action.
No guess was made as to how
long the unifying job will take.
MacGowan pointed out that it will
be "no easy job" The Chicago
meeting August 4 is just three
days prior to an AFL executive
board meeting in that city. Per-
haps, it was speculated, the execu-
tive board will make some decis-
ions based on the outcome Of the
meeting, and leading toward fur
ther moves.
Representing AFL at the Wash
ington meeting We're President
William Green, President Dan
Tobin of the Teamsters; MacGow-
an; and President Daniel Tracy of
the Electrical Workers.
Haywood led the CIO delegation
in place of President Philip Muir
ray, who was in Pittsburgh recov-
ering from an eye operation. Other
members of the CIO group were
Secretary Treasurer James B.
Carey; President Joseph Curran of
the National Maritime Union; Pre-
sident Walter Reuther of the Auto
Workers; President Emil Rieve of
the Textile Workers and Secretary
Treasurer Frank Rosenblum of the

World TeIIy Rejects
Guild Offer; Paper
Still Strikebound

New ofk lLPA)-Neg0tlaJ1O
between the New York World
Telegram & Sun and the New York
Newspaper Guild broke down July
26 when management rejected a
new union offer to settle.
The Telegram, largest evening
paper in New York, has not pub
lished since June 13 when Guilds
men walked out and the AFL
printing crafts refused to cross
the picket-lines. Job and union Sc
curity is the issue.
The union offered to settle on
the basis of the New York Herald
Tribune formula. The Herald Tri-
bune contract calls for nine out of
every 10 new employees, except for
editorial writer's and display adver-
tising statesmen, to become union
members. Earlier the Telegram
management offered to agree to
security clauses in the New York
Times contract, regarded as the
weakest in the city, and among the
weakest in the nation.
Guild spokesmen made their pro-
posal in the New York office of
the Federal Mediation & Concilia-
tion Service. Although no new
meeting was scheduled, both sides
agreed to wait for call from the
Federal mediators.
The unions willingness to ac-
cept the Herald Tribune formula
was a major concession" accord
ing to Thomas j. Murphy, the New
York Guilds executive vice-presi-
dent. The union wants arbitration
of all disputed dismissals, includ-
ing those allegedly for economy"
reasons. 1t also wants a wage in
crease.
The Telegram has said it would
accept arbitration of individual
dismissals. However, the manage
ment insists it won't let the union
have any say-so on the size of the
staff and objects to any kind Of
union security.
About 500 editorial and office
workers are on strike. In addition,
1000 AFL mechanical craftsmen
have remained out. Management
has made special efforts to induce
the mechanical trades to return,
apparently believing that execu-
tives could then get out paper
of sorts. In addition, management
tried to discredit the Guild in full
page advertisements in the Herald
Tribune and Times.
In a full page display in their
own bulletin, the Guild Telegram
and Sun, the strikers pointed out
that before walking out, they had
offered to accept the contract cur
rent with any other major New
York paper. The strikers also OBJ
served that the Telegram's objec-
ton to the union shop was inconr
sistent since another paper in the|
same Scripps-Howard chain, the|
San Francisco News, has such al
shop. They said they struck for
protection against loss Of theirj
jobs.

undermining the health of the
packinghouse workers. AT the same
time, the industry as a whole has
failed to keep pace with the trend
to give American workers the Sc
curity of pension programs and
health and welfare insurance"
