Government Starts
|Last-Lap Drive 10
Block Phone Strike

The Government today began it's
last-lap drive to head off a threat
ened national telephone strike by
calling together key company and
union representatives here.
Strategy of the Federal Media
ton and Cancellation Service ap-
parently was to concentrate peace
efforts in the two union divisions
representing Western Electric in
stallation and sales employees.
These groups and other Com
munications Workers of America
divisions, totaling about 100000
workers. have scheduled strike
for am. Friday unless an agree
ment is reached before then.
Ching Calls Meeting.
Chief Conciliator Cyrus S.
Ching called a meeting this morn
ing of CWA's Division 6, repre-
senting 10000 WE installation
workers in 43 states, and Division
18, speaking for $3.50 WE sales
personnel. Western Electric was
to be represented by Joseph r..
Bransford, WE financial vice
president.
Both of the union divisions
presidents were here for the meet
ings, Ernest Weaver for division
6, and Louis H. Junker for di-
vision 18.
Following procedure in other
telephone disputes, the Govern
ment apparently was hoping to
crack the nationwide problem by
intensifying efforts on the wide
spread installation and sales
groups.
Formula Might Result.
From an agreement involving
these divisions might evolve a
formula which could apply to some
20 others bargaining with Ameri-
can Telephone & Telegraph Co.
afnliates.
Mr.. Ching received reports from
conciliators throughout the coun-
try yesterday. indicating little or
no progress. CWA last week de-
manded specific 15-cent an hour
increase for all the employees 1t
bargains for.
In Washington, Divisions so and
80 were scheduled to meet again

Toft's Security Plan Would Do AwdY
With Stake Of Workers

Do trade unioniss oppose Sen Robert Taft R, Ohio)
merely because of the TaftHartey Act? OF course not
There plenty of other things with Taft Take his
stand on social security.
Taft wants to throw out the present social security pro-
gram and set up a pay-aS-y you-go system.
Taft knows it's to get social security benefits to
everyone Just expand the present law Trade unlonlss
have been pointing that out for years Taft is of the
guys who have been standing the way of social security
program for all.
Under the payas you-go plan you would get raw deal
Right worker whom social security covers has
equity in the $12 billion pension trust fund
Under Tafts plan that fund would be abolished. In
stead each year two Congress would decide how much
pensions should be- The figure might be set at 5000 month
$50.
Then almost everyone would get about the pen
sons But would have equity in pension fund
Nearly all of the cost of payasyougo pensions would be
financed through general taxation.
So you see how your pensions would go up and
down The only who would profit under such system
the private insurance companies Almost who
could afford it would need of his insurance to sup
plement the uncertain Taft pay-as you-go program.
Yes there many things wrong with Taft. That's
why Ohio State Auditor Joe Ferguson the Democratic Sen
atorial nominee, is going to beat Taft in November.

An Example Of Unity

For time the CIO has been beating the drums
for closer cooperation and greater unity among all branches
of organized labor Because of this event which took
place last week in New York City of particular interest
to
The CIO Newspaper Guild went strike at the New
York WordIeegram and Sun, of the largest Scrpps
Howard newspapers. q
The paper, unlike which the Guild and other
unions have struck, ceased publication 1t had tobecause
members of the AF and independent craft unions refused
individuals, to go through the Guilds picket lines
The IaftHartey Act we've been told, makes it
illegal for unions to stage sympathy strikes and this could
easily have been used for crossing the Guilds
picket line.
But the printers, pressmen and other mechanical work.
ers decided to show how they felt about the situation by
refusing individually to help break the Guild strike
began.
AS this is written we don't know what kind of legal
maneuvers will be attempted by the Scripps-Howard
ganzaton to break the cooperation that existed the
strike began.
Regardless of what may happen however, the and
women who put out the Telegram and Sun have pro-
vded good example that labor unity really mean some
thing
What is needed is more unity on a much wider scale
It's goal really worth working for.

Industry Wide Hypocrisy

Employers and General Counsel Robert Denham of the
National Labor Relations Board (NIRB long have
ed that ndustywde bargaining is something akin to the
work of Satan Labor unions they protest loudly have
much power when they deal with whole industries.
But along comes milk strike in Washington ID. c.. The
milkdrverS strike three dairies Six other dares pull
sympathy lockout and won't allow the drivers to work at
their plants.
The workers protest to the NLRB And what does Den
ham do?
He rules that the workers locked out that they
struck all six dares.
Regardless of the legality of Denham's decision, the
case proves that the employers hug ndusrywde bargain
ing Just as warmly as unions did.
It's remndfu of the last coal strike when Governor
Schcker of Indiana asked the miners and mine operators of
Indiana to bargain apart from the rest of the industry The
miners were willing The operators weren't

that don't about the health and welfare of the public?
