Annual Convention
OF Chamber Group

Washington (LPA) = The old
slogans got their yearly working
over May / to 8 at the 38th annual
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce. The warnings against "gov-
ernment intervention" and the
dangers to "free enterprise" added
up to attacks on the Fair Deal leg
islation now before Congress.
Senator Robert Taft Or, Ohio),
keynote speaker, called for a
"moral reawakening of the indi-
vidual" to reject government aid.
He attacked the Brannan Plan be-
cause it guarantees the farmer
"what he is entitled to" and "if you
do it for the farmers, why not do
it for everybody else?" He attack
ed the administration health in
surance plan on the ground that
5000 of them (the people) are
able to get medical care and pay
for it," And he attacked the Full
Employment Bill of 1946 because
he said the fright to work" idea
"came right from the Soviet Con-
stitution."
Chamber delegates approved a.
program calling for cutting taxes

Election Ballot

Portland, Ore. (LPA)-The May
10 primary election in Oregon will
resemble similar contests through
out the country when union mem
Der Helen Parks makes her run for
a place on the ballot this fall.
Helen, "a, member of Commun-

trying for a seat in the Oregon
State Legislature.
She decided to enter the poll
.tical arena after her name had
been submitted to Democratic Party
officials by CWA officers. She was
chosen for the race because she has
definite tho1gh-out opinions on
public issues and doesn't hesitate
to express them.
Helen is member of the Young

Would Fill Cops
In JobIess Funds

Washington (LPA) = One small
step to remedy the lacks in the pre-.
sent unemployment compensation
program is suggested by the Sem
ate Finance committee as one of its
amendments to the social security
law. The federal government would
be authorized to supplement state
jobless benefit funds if they be-
come exhausted.
Chairman Walter George Cd,
Ga.), announcing the committees
approval of the proposal, said it
was very similar to the provision
in the now-expired war reconver-
sion bill.
He indicated that it is too late in
the session, in his opinion, to do
anything about President Truman's
proposals to raise benefits paid by
the states, and to extend the length
of time over which jobless workers
would be able to collect benefits.
One of the biggest problems now is
what to do about workers who have
exhausted their rights to unem-
ployment compensation, but still
can't find work.

ed Max Zaritsky, who had headed
the union since 1886, and who re-
tired on having reached the age OF
I65. Rose has been secretary-trea-
surer of the unions New York
joint board.
Rose has been a symbol of indie
pendent labor political action for
ID years. He was one of the found
ers of the American Labor party
then helped form the Liberal party,
and is its vice chairman. He is an
officer of the AFL Labor's League
for Political Education.
In his acceptance speech Rose
called for a realignment of political
forces, because the country has
been reduced to virtually one
political party, with irregulars on
leach side" The present party
Isystem, he said, has become a
myth, and called on all labor and
| liberal forces to unite in new ma
tional party as the only means of
establishing "a genuine two-party
system for the first time in gener-
ations."
Until such realignment, said
Rose, the union will work with
|LLPE "in its drive for pro-labor
candidates of both parties - the
very men we hope some day will
join with US in new party" He
warned that 1--WE will not under
write with blank check any party,
not even the Democratic party,
with which we have been cooperat-
ing. Where we must fight inde-
pendently for candidates and ideas,
we will" He indicated he regarded
the Liberal party as a potential
unit in the new party he believes
is neeQeO.
David Dubinsky, president of
the International Ladies Garment
Workers, earlier had told the con-
vention he expects the Liberal
party, the AFL Central Trades and
Labor Council, and the City CIO
Council to present united front
in the gubernatorial and congress
ional elections this fall, "to elect
liberals who will serve the cause of
labor, and stressed that deeds
must be substituted for words in
establishing who really are liberals.

Win Pension PIon
Thuf Will Raise
As Law Improves

Akron (LPA)-A pension plan
providing S100 a month for eligible
employees upon retirement, and
more if the federal social security
laws are improved, has been won
by United Rubber Workers at the
Lee Rubber & Tire Corp. in Con-
shohocken, Pa.
The agreement, described by the
union as "a marked improvement
over previous pensions plans" al
lows employees retiring at 65 with
25 years service minimum PEN
sion of 500 a month. Workers may
retire with only Is years service,
receiving a proportionate amount
of the pension. Under similar pro-
vision they may also retire at go.
Legislation now before Congress
would raise social security pay
ments SPA dollars a month. In that
event the Lee workers pensions
would go up to SIP a month. IT
further improvements are made in
the law the pensions will continue
to rise.
A completely company-financed
insurance program under the five
year agreement includes $1,000
double indemnity life insurance
policy for. each employe; S25 per
week sick and accident disability
disqualification for 70
days in a semi-private room with
all expenses paid; 5000 surgical
benefits; and payment of doctors
visits to home, office or hospital.

Rieve Denounces
Term Normal For
Unemployed | Labor

Boston (LPA)-"I am sick and
tired of reading statements that
the country is in fine shape the
way it is" declared Emil Rieve in
his keynote speech to 1000 dele.
gates at the sixth biennial conven-
ton of the Textile Workers.
The TWUA president said "the
country is not in fine shape when
workers in Lawrence, Mass, and
Wilkes Barre, Pa, New Bedford,
Mass, Cumberland, Md, and a
hundred other towns from coast to
coast can't find honest work at de-
cent wages"
Denouncing those who describe
current unemployment as normal
Rieve said 81 do not want an econ
omy where 100000 unemployed,
or any other number, is normal" )"
Private enterprise, he continued, is
not meeting its "final test" and if
it cannot, with the help of govern
ment, provide full employment and
a high standard of living, it will
disappear.
He pledged his unions continued
support for foreign aid, but warned
that higher standards could not be
established abroad at the cost of
lower standards at home. He sug-
gested it might be better to give
away surplus US goods, rather
than accept imports which create
unemployment here.

Washington (LPA)-The current
ineffectiveness of the House Select
Committee on Lobbying Activities
was we'll illustrated May 8 when
the Democratic majority let Re-
publican Rep. Clarence Brown OF
Ohio stomp all over Lee F. John
son, executive vice-president of the
Housing Conference.
Johnson's organization, founded in
1881 to promote slum clearance
and low-cost housing, is in no way
comparable to the real estate lobby
which seeks legislation that will
bring more profits to its members.
The National Housing Conference,
on the other hand, is interested in
housing for those who need it.
Yet the Democratic majority
permitted Brown to suggest, at
least, that the National Housing
Conference regularly INDUCED in
practices which are illegal if not
positively criminal. Seizing on the
fact that Johnson registered him
self as lobbyist for the Housing
Conference without registering the
itself and on the further
fact that many directors of local
housing authorities belong to the
conference, the rotund Ohioan con-
ciuded that the Conference must be
a nest of government officials
lobbying for their own jobs and
acting in violation of the lobby
act and other laws.
Finally, Rep. Frank Buchanan

| tee, pointed out that the director;
of local housing authorities are
seldom paid, that only the execu.
tive secretaries and project man
ayers are salaried officials as a
rule.
In the end Brown had only one
piece of evidence to support his
contention. That was a letter writ
ten by a Tacoma, Wash, official
in 1945. The letter, written on gov
ernment stationery, was solicita-
tion of funds. johnson pointed out
that the writer is no longer a hous-
ing official.
johnson brought some of the fire
on himself by saying that the Ma
tional Housing Conference does not
lobby in Congress ain the accept
ed sense of that term" He said the
conference considered itself "prim-
arily an educational organization"
and only lobbies in the years Con-
gress is considering housing legis-
lation. He declared that he regist-
cred himself instead of the organ
ization on advice of counsel. Brown
icountered by producing "field kits"
and other material the conference
has used in drives to get people to
contact their Congressman and
Senator's on specific legislation. In
general, Johnson was treated more
roughly that some of the spokes-
men for the real estate lobby which
fights rent control and public
housing.

Walls About 75c
Minimum Forcing
CIosings False

Pittsburgh (LPA)-During the
debate preceding passages of ths
75-cent minimum wage law, some
employers walled that the increase
would force them out of business
and then their employees would be
out of jobs.
'These predictions did not come
true then and | do not think they
will come true now.' So said Will
lam R. McComb, who administers
the wage-hour law, before the Tri-
state Industrial Assn. Industry in
general is taking the new 75-cent
minimum in its stride"
The new minimum, McComb
pointed out, ''is a measure of
simple economic justice. 1t does
little more than restore to low-paid
workers the purchasing power Con-
gress intended them to have under
the former Accent minimum. For
some million and a half workers,
it means direct wage increases,
ranging generally from 5 to Is
cents an hour"
McComb said he plans to study
the effects of the new minimum,
not only in specific industries or
localities, but for the nation as a
whole, and announced he will soon
call a public hearing to obtain
views on whether Qualification is
needed on requirements he has is
sued regarding two types of ex--
clusions from overtime pay: en-
ployer contributions to welfare
plans and payments under profit
sharing plans or trusts.
He said his department is having
some difficulty with the revision of
a previous exemption applying to
workers in retail or service estab-
lishments. He said representatives
of banks, insurance companies,
credit companies and newspapers
have come to him to argue that
they have retail or service estab-
lishments = directly contrary to
what Congress put down in it's con-
ference report.
McComb revealed that some en-
ployers recently protested the re-
quirement that they must keep
posted a notice which summarizes
the main provisions of the wage
hour act, and pointed out that this
has been in effect
since the act was first passed,
years ago.

iof us may be a bit skeptical, but
remember that Potters Picnic Day
is always bright sunny day. So
lagain precedent and the Almanac
are on our side as the time ap-
Iproaches.
Members of the committee, head
ed by Chairman George Goppert,
have visited the park recently and
ANNOUNCED things to be in fine
shape. New amusements have been
added, parking facilities have been
improved and new coat Of paint
has been spread on everything.
Reports have already come in
from various locals from Trenton
to Lincoln, ILL.,, proving that en-
thusiasm also runs high among the
trade. There is no other day in the
year like it. You meet friends you
haven't seen since the last picnic
and probably will not see again
until the 1851 picnic. You ride
high wave Of excitement as well as
the giant ferris wheel and the thrill
rides.
The pottery diamond supremacy
is always settled on picnic day. You
see the finest baby show in the
state and the best bathing beauty
parade this side of Atlantic City.
Have you ever seen four or five
hundred kids let loose on a dance
floor covered with pennies? =? If you
haven't, you'll have the laugh of
your life on June II. Watch 100 of
these same kids yell when their
tickets are called for the roller
skates, wrist watches and footballs.
And have a thrill yourself when
you hear that you are going to take
home a set of fine dishes-or may
be the big Buick touring sedan.
If your dues and assessments are
paid up to date, it means another
chance for fine prize.
You just can't beat the picnic;
there's something doing every min
ute. Start planning now and get all
set for the greatest day of 1850.

Potters' Picnic Just Five Weeks Away
Board Rules Union
Entitled To Data
For A Year Back

Rochester, N. Y. LPA)-Wher
your union representative go into
negotiations they are entitled tt
full information from the company
on the wage rates of individual
employees for a full year back, g
three-man panel of the Nationa
Labor Relations Board ruled May
z. However, the company doesn't
have to give the information fol
earlier years, a two-man majority
of the panel held.
The decision was handed down ir
a case involving the Yawman 4
Erbe Manufacturing Co. here and
Local "a of the Office Employees
International Uni o n-AFL. The
board ordered the company to fur
nish at the unions request "the
names, positions, and current
wages of the employees in the unit"
to enable the union to perform its
duties as legal bargaining agent
for the employees.
In negotiations for the 1949
agreement. Local 81 demanded data
for 1916, 1947, and l948. When the
company refused, the union went
to the board. NLRB Chairman Paul
Herzog and board member James
]. Reynolds held that the request
for the 1948 information was "a
demand" by which the
union could detect nequities. Board
Abe Murdoch said not only
was the union entitled to the 1948
data but he didn't see why the
shouldn't make the 1916
and 1947 data available too.
