College court coaches are COM

ball a 38-minute game, instead
of 40. Staff Cassell at American
U. can go his cohorts one better

basketball is only a 35-minute
game for him. At least he enjoys
it for only IS minutes.

Eagles Blow Margin.
The Eagles appeared safely past
their No. l rivals several times last
night, leading by 1928 at one time,
but the battling Greyhounds, Ma
son-Dixon Conference champions
the last three years, never gave up.
The hosts were not ahead until
Herb Meinert scored a field goal
and foul shot that went with it
for a 43-42 margin. Sherwood
Webster swished a side-court shot
to make it 44-43 for A. u, but the
Greyhounds scored the last seven
points of the game, with set shots
by Vince Gallagher winning for
Loyola.
American us zone defense
slowed the Greyhounds in the first
half and the Eagles led 22-17 in
a slow game to that point. Leroy
Ishman, high scorer for the night
with four field goals and eight
out OF nine foul shots for Is
points, scored II points in the first
half. Ishman was out with flve
fouls when Loyola finally went
ahead, although on the play on
which Ishman fouled out, he was
about 10 feet from the action. Even
the highly partisan Loyola crowd,
biggest to see game there this
season. hooted Ishman's custer,
as it was obvious the officials
called the wrong player.

Mike zedalis, whose play for
Loyola for three previous years
was overshadowed by Jim Lacy,

It's eighth triumph with IA points.
Webster and Bob Lamon scored

IKEA Has $6OOO Deficit For First Half Of Year

The Kodiak Electric As sociation finished the first six months of 1850 in the red to the tune of $6OOO, Marshall Crutcher, member of the board, told the Chamber of Commerce. recently.
 However, the monthly loss is now declining and there is no immediate raise in rates being considered at this time, Crutcher said.
 An increase on the insur- ance for the larger building, interest on the original invest ment and heavy payments for labor, other than the regular staff, were contributing fac tors to the deficit.
 January showed the heavi- est loss of any month with a $2OOO deficit.

JAW Wins
Shop Election
Win Jurisdiction
Over Red Controlled
Mine & SmeIfer Union

After a most intensive cam
paign the UAW-CIO won juris-
diction at the Aluminium & Mag
nesium plant in Sandusky, O.
The election held on Aug. IL
gave the JAW 106 as against
81 for the Mine, Mill & Smelt-
er. Seven workers did not vote
for either union. This is another
victory C halked up for the
UAW-CIO Competitive Shop De-
partment of which International
Vice President Richard Gosser
is director.
This plant has for several
years has been dominated by the
Communist controlled M e,
Mill & Smelter Union. BY virtue
of the JAW winning jurisdic-
tional rights it removes from the
Sandusky area the last vestige
of any labor organization con-
trolled by the Reds.
Vice President Gosser's Com
petitive Dept. added another
shop to its victory lists when
workers at the Bro Mfg. Co.,
in Marblehead, O., voted for the
JAW 43 to II. This plant has
been a serious competitor for
many years of some of the or
ganized plants. The election was
won after a whirlwind organiza-

JAW Protest
Failure On
Dependency

The UAW-CIO has protested
the failure of Congress to pro-
vide dependency allowances for
servicemen now being called up
for active duty.
In a letter to Representative
Carl Vinson Cd, Ga.), Emil
Macy, UAw-CIO Secretary
Treasurer and Director of the
Unions Veterans Department,
asked the House Armed Ser
vices Committee, of which Vim
son is chairman, to make every
effort to bring out of Com
mittee Immediately a bill which
will grant an allowance to de-
pendents permitting them the
necessities of life"
Macy said it would be "a
disgrace and a reflection on the
members of Congress if this leg
islation is not given top priority
on their agenda."
While dependency allowances
are presently granted non-com-
missioned ranks of higher grade
there are none allowed for the
lowest non-commissioned ranks,
privates and recruits. Draft de-
ferments are now being granted
those with large numbers of de-
pendents; but no provisions is
made for members of reserve
forces now being called up for
active duty.

This contract clause is the
same as the one in the General
Motors contract, also with the
UAW-CIO. The GIN. workers,
it has been announced, will also
receive the five cents per hour
wage increase.
The "cost-of living" clause in
the contract fluctuates with the
rise or fall of the cost of living
as indicated by figures of the
Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics. Some months
age there was a downward trend
in the cost of living and at that
time the Doehler and G.. M.

hour cut"
we would much rather see
a drastic cut in prices than this
so-called wage increase" was
the comment of Edward Roman,

Bingham
Approve
Dues Increase
Move Will Discontinue
Exfro Unit Assessments;
To Benefit Members


Walter Murphy, Local II FL
n ancial Secretary-Treasurer
was notified officially this week
by officers of WHY'S Overland
Unit and Bingham Herbrand
Unit that the membership voted
approval of dues increase of 81
a month. The additional dollar
will be split between each Unit
and the Local.
Under this proposal which
was proposed by stewards, COM
mitteemen and Unit leaders and
adopted unanimously at the Lo-
cal IL meeting and recommend
ed to each Unit for ratification,
none of the new dollar will go
outside the Local. Of the Units
half, 10 cents will go into a spe-
cial strike fund, and the rest into
the Units general fund to be
spent as the membership deems
it necessary.
The same principle would ap-
ply to the Locals half, with 20
cents earmarked for the Locals
emergency fund.
MI. Murphy said that other
Units of Local IL indicated that
the proposal will be brought up
for a vote as soon as possible.
Ratification of the proposal
must be acted on by Sept. 80
and if passed will be in effect
on Oct. l he said.
These are the factors entered
into the proposal:
3 A concerted attack on Local
IL and its administration
lasting nearly a year was
beaten back only after con-
siderable expense in time
and money.
Q Stubborn resistance to pen
sions on the part of some
Toledo management, a part
of the anti-union campaign,
caused some units to strike.
The financial drain was SUBJ
stantial.
o Custom, habit and emergen-
cies have all conspired to es-
tablish a fabric of "volun-
tary'' unit assessments for
a number of causes. The end
result has been that union
minded units and members
have steadily contributed
while others have steadily
avoided contribution, put
ting an unequal burden on
the few, to the advantage
of the many.
Q The resulting system has
created chaos within the
units, with fund raising
drives overlapping in many
shops. The new proposal
would consolidate these,
eliminate the needless
drives, finance the impor-
tant ones, and reduce to or
der and a moderate cost the
whole operation.
