an equitable relationship of wages
to prices would be a static one,
based on that prevailing in some,
period in the past. The tradition OF
progress, with ever-rising living
standards, has always been one OF
the fruits, and outstanding char
acteristics, of the American free
enterprise system, to the defense
of which both of our organizations
are committed.
Cites Fat Corporate Profits
"In this connection it would not
be inappropriate to note. that corp
orate profits after taxes increased
by about 165 percent from 1910
to 1949, and by about 81 percent
from 1914 to 1949-a considerably
grea ter proportionate increase
than that shown by hourly earn
ings. All reports indicate that 1850
will also prove to be an unusually
profitable year for manufacturing
corporations. Surely the members
of the National Association of
Manufacturers do not challenge
the right of other segments of our
economic system to share in the
fruits of that system, which they
themselves have enjoyed in such
liberal measure.
"In view of these considerations,
/ can only reiterate my previous
statements, and the statement of
the American Federation of Labor
executive council, to the effect that
any attempt to freeze wages at
present rates would do an irrepar-
able injury to the economy and deal
unfairly and unjustly with tho
wage earners of our land. Wages,
must be permitted to rise through
the process of collective bargain
ing and otherwise to establish a
proper basis of parity before wage
controls are considered"

Textile Workers
To Get A Third
Of Firms Profits

Whitehall, N. Y. (LPA)-Work-
ers in the mill here of Champlain
Spinners, Inc, will get third of
the firms 1850 profits. The ar
rangement is part of a new con-
tract with the AFL Textile Work
ers, who have held bargaining
rights for five years.
The net profits at the years end
will be set aside. A third, less the
5 cents an hour won under the new
agreement, will be distributed
among employees on the basis of
hours worked. (The 5-cent increase
is retroactive to August Z; the pro-
fit-sharing, to Jan. l, l950). Union
estimates are that the workers
total increase for 1850 will be 10
cents an hour.
Elmer Shovah, local union pres
ident, has been named to the COM
pany's board of directors, will par
ticipate in policy making and ad-
ministration, and the local union
and international have the privilege
of auditing the company's entire
financial transactions for 1850.

Asks 1879 To
Meet Price Rise
Caused By War

Asbury Park, N. j. (LPA)-A
subcommittee of the general ex-
ecutive board of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers, meeting here,
disclosed Sept. Ia that the union
would seek an industry-wide wage
increase of approximately Is per-
cent. The full board was expected
to approve the subcommittee's pro-
posal without delay.
Amalgamated members have not
received a wage boost since 1947
when they won a five-dollar hike.
In recent years, the union has felt
that unstable conditions in the
clothing industry rendered wage
demands unwise. However, the up
ward surge of prices resulting
from the Korean conflict has
changed the outlook of the Anal
gamated leaders. The subcommit-
tee headed by union President
Jacob Potofsky said the Is per-
cent asked would raise the price of
a mans suit less than dollar.
The Amalgamated, has 100000
members of whom about $4,000 are
in New York City. 1t has jurisdic-
tion in the mems apparel industry.
Present wages for workers MAX
ing mems clothing ranges from
$3.50 to $1.62H an hour. The in
crease demanded would amount to
221a to 241a cents an hour. Work
ers making mems cotton garments
are now paid from $1.02 to $1.10.
The raise would give them 15 to
'16H cents more.
The same day that Amalgamat-
ed revealed its wage demands, the
International Ladies Garm e n t
Workers Union-AFL announced
that it also was seeking 15 per-
cent increase. The ILGWU ann
ouncement came after a special
meeting of the unions executive
board.
Meanwhile, the Amalgamated
leaders, who bargain nationally
with employer associations, said
the US Clothing Manufacturers
Association had agreed to negoti-
ate but had set no date. However,
talks between the union bargaining
committee and shirt manufacturers
would begin Immediately in a num-
ber of shirt centers, they ann
ounced.

French Crock
Down on Reds

Paris (LPA)-The French gov
ernment cracked down hard on the
Communists Sept. z, arresting 268
foreign reds in raids throughout
the country. Before the raids were
over, it was expected that at least
800 arrests would be made.
Most Of those grabbed were Rus
sian, Spanish, Yugoslav, Czech and
Polish. The Spaniards had been in
France since the days of the Span
ish Civil War when they were
granted asylum. Stated aim was "to
decapitate the foreign Communist
fifth column in France"
The government said the eaptur-
ed Comnies would have to leave
France within AS hours. Few want
ed to go to any address behind the
Iron Curtain. The Spaniards were
to be given choice between east
ern Europe and any French pos
session.
Meanwhile, in Ottawa, Canada,
guards had to intervene to keep 200
members of the Communist domin-
ated Canadian Peace Congress
from spreading through the hall
ways of Parliament. The Peace"
proponents were demanding Canada
stay out Of the conflict in Korea.
In Panama, the Supreme Court
upheld cabinet resolution outlaw
ing Communism. The court handed
down a three to two decision.
(On the other side of the Cur
tain, the Communist government
of Hungary had demanded that a
number Of Roman Catholic orders
suspend activities at once, the of
fieial gazette reported. Members
of the orders were to leave their
monasteries within three months.) }

AH Executive Board Report
Year of Wholesome Progress
tBy n. B. o. P. Delegates)

fBy n. Is. ". Il. UelegateS)
Houston, Tex. (LPA)-The past
IL months have been a year "of
wholesome progress in our trade
union movement" the Executive
Council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor concluded in its re-
port of the AFL's 69th Conven-
ton. The convention opened Sept.
1S.
The progress has been register
ed despite the international men
ace, of Communism and despite
domestic tensions induced by the
"repressive provisions" of the
Taft Hartley act, the AFL leaders
agreed.
The year was marked, the Coun-
Gil said, by the launching of a
vast organizing drive aimed at OBJ
tanning a million new AFL MEM
bers as part of the Samuel Comp
ers Centennial Celebration. Comp
ers, first president of the AFL,
was born 100 years ago. His cen
tennial year has been celebrated
by hundreds of events throughout
the nation, the Council reported.
Outstanding was the issuance of a
Gompers stamp by the Post Office
Department last January.
In that section of the report
dealing with AFL experience under
the Taft-Hartley act, the Council
considered the National Labor Re-
lations Boards sweeping rulings
against the International Typo
graphical union at some length.
Most dangerous ruling was the one
holding international union Co
bargainer" with it's locals, the
Council decided.
The AFL leaders also reported
on the AFL-CI0 deliberations on
labor unity, instituted at the sug-
gestion of the CIO. Latest develop
ment, they reminded convention
delegates, was the decision to en-
large the AFL committee which is
participating in the talks to give
the talks a broader basis. The
Council also reported that top Of
ficers of the international Asso-I
citation of Machinists were recon-
mending that lam members vote
for reaffiliation with the AFL I'M
a forthcoming referendum.
Meanwhile, on the world front,
Council reported on the Formations
in London last November of the
new International Confederation of
Free Trade Unions in which the
AFL, and CIO and unaffiliatedI
American unions took part. The
AFL takes pride" in being part
of ICFTU, the Council said. The
AFL leaders also expressed prideI
in the Federation's participation I'M
United Nations activities, notably
in the investigation Of slave laborI
in the Soviet Union.
Legislative work has become one
of the AFL's most important in
terests, the Council said, becauseI
To-day, practically everything hap
pening in Congress has some rela-
tionship to Labor" High among
current legislative issues is the
need of an excess profits tax to-
curb profiteers trying to take ad-
vantage OF the Korean war and the
defense program, the Council told
the convention.
Meanwhile, repeal Of the Taft
Hartley act remains labor's top
legislative goal, the Council indi-
Gated by repeating resolution
adopted at the st. Paul convention
last year demanding that the law
be scratched from the books. How
ever, the Federation dropped eff
forts 20 get the act repealed this
year when it became evident that

Wage Freeze Now Unjust TO Lubor.
Injurious To Nufion'S Economy

Washington, d. c. (ILNS). =
Any attempt to freeze wages a
present rates would cause 'irrepar
able injury" to the economic sys
TEN and be unjust to the workers
AFL President William Green de-
clared.
Green set forth in convincing de-
tail the argument against wage
ceilings now in a letter to Ear
Bunting, managing director of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers. 1t was in reply to letter
from Bunting Aug. %, challenging
Green's earliest statements on price
increases since the beginning OF
the Korean war.
Since stating Aug. IA that prices
had risen Is percent since June 23
the general index for 28 basic com
modities kept by the U. S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics had shown an
other sharp advance, Green wrote
Bunting. He cited the time lag be-
tween primary market price move
ments and retail prices but declar-
ed it would be dangerous and un-
realistic to assume that retail
prices will escape the full effect OF
the general inflationary trend"
Holds Price Trends Plain
: "I trust" the AFL chief contin-
ued, "that the National Association
of Manufacturers is not taking any
such complacent view of the situa-
tion. Primary market price de-
velopments are indicative of both
cost trends and the state of gener-
al demand, which is likely to be a
governing factor as long as prices
are set on the basis of what the
market will bear. For our part, we
must assume that these develop
ments provide a reliable Indication
of the degree to which the real
value of existing wage rates is in
the process of being undermined by
price initiation. We must also con-
slider the present absence of re-
straints on prices, the time that
will elapse before such restraints
can be made really effective, and
the further fact that our contrac-
tural agreements stabilize wage
rates for a period of at least one
year, while prices remain free to
rise"
Wage Gains Nullified
Green declared that figures quot
ed by Bunting do not tell the full
story but make clear that infla-
tionary increases in the cost of liv-
ing have wiped out most of the
wage gains made by labor since
1914.
"And now," he said, 1--WE are
confronted with the genuine
threat that even this small
gain will be more than wiped
out by further price increases"
Summing up AFL views on wage
freezing at the present time,
Green told Bunting:
81 am frankly at a loss to under
stand the view, which appears to
be implicit in your remarks, that
every man that can contribute to
jerking down the veil so that he
can be seen in his true light, is
rendering a service to his country

Pump -Prin1ing' Blood Tronfusion Saves GI Life|

Pressure in the TRANSMISSION appa-
ratus is maintained either by a
pump or by elevating the blood
bottle about six feet above the
heart
Gen. Seeley recommends arterial
TRANSMISSION only in case of shock.
In other cases, intravenous trans
fusion is sufficient, he said.
Tells of Earlier Case.
The Army surgeon told of an
other man whose life was saved by
the technique. He was an officer
who suffered a severe hemorrhage
from a stomach ulcer. He was
rushed to Walter Reed. Doctors
could detect no pulse or blood
pressure. They began arterial
TRANSMISSION. The mans blood
pressure returned to normal and
his heart beat picked up. His
strength returned to the point
where surgery could be used to
stop the hemorrhage.
More than % pints of blood
Evening star., 1950-11-01
By Ted Mcdowell

A 'pump-priming" type of blood
TRANSMISSION, different from the
usual method. saved the life of a
GI at Walter Reed Hospital when
a blood vessel burst and he nearly
bled to death.
A large artery near the young
soldiers shoulder wound ruptured
for no apparent reason as he was
recovering after a 7,000-mile evac-
uation trip from the battlefront.
He was saved by TRANSMISSION
method now becoming accepted
widely by both civilian and mill
tary hospitals for the treatment of
acute shock, a condition caused
by loss of large amounts of blood
and body fluids.
Fed Through Artery.
The method is different in that
blood is fed through an artery in
stead of a vein. This enables a
faster flow under greater pressure
because an artery carries blood
away from the heart. A vein
carries blood to the heart and
necessitates a comparatively slow
TRANSMISSION to avoid heart strain.
A pioneer in the development
of the technique was Brig. Gen.
S. F. Seeley, Walter Reed chief
surgeon. Luckily, Gen. Seeley was
nearby when the soldiers blood
vessel burst.
Gen. Seeley reported on the
TRANSMISSION method yesterday at a
meeting of the annual Congress of
Anesthetists at Miami Beach.
The soldier, who had been re-
covering from his battle wounds,
went into shock. But Gen. Seeley
had the answer.
He tapped an artery. and in a
matter of seconds, quarts of life
saving blood were passing under
pressure into the soldiers body.
The bleeding was stopped by sur
gerry, and the soldier is on his feet
now.
The soldier is just one of nu-
merous Korean casualties and
other shock victims who have
been saved by the TRANSMISSION
method.
Pumped in Four Minutes.
A pint of blood can be admin
istered in as little as four min
utes. TRANSMISSION of a pint by
the usual method takes from half
an hour to three hours, Gen.
Seeley said. The new method
maintains the patients normal
blood pressure, regardless of how
much is being lost. AS many as
90 pints have been given patient.
The body holds about II pints.
Gen. Seeley said he has no def
mite reports at this time on wheth-
er his technique is being used in
Korea, but it has saved a number
lof Korean wounded in hospitals
in this country.
In evacuation areas. Gen. Seeley
said, group of shock victims
could be given arterial transfu-
sions simultaneously. Since the
amount of blood administered by
this method is a direct measure
of blood being lost, a doctor would
know the relative seriousness of
| the shock.
When blood is given through an
artery, it gives the heart some
thing to pump on and build up
pressure, Gen. Seeley explained.

were poured into thc 60 s body
over a seven-hour period as he
lay on the operating table. He
was virtually brought back from
death while his blood was changed
twice.
Gen. Seeley sums up the new
technique this way: "The princi-
pie is SO simple it's amazing some
one didn't think of it years ago."
