Boom In South Credited
To 75-Cent Minimum

New York (LPA)-During hear
ings on increasing the federal wage
minimum from 40 cents to rs cents
many employers testified they
would be forced out of business
When the law was passed, they
rushed to get exemptions, and ap-
piled for sub-minimum and learn
er" rates.
The Daily News Record of New
York City, a business mems paper,
reports in its June 6 issue that
statesmen returning from the south
report the 75-cent minimum and
favorable weather shave enabled
much of the southeast and south
west to forge ahead of other sec
tions in the matter of sustained
business and new merchandise re-
quirements." They quoted one
salesman as saying that section
"looks more prosperous than any
other in the country" Another said
income had almost doubled, and
"this in turn has found its way
back into the retail market"

New York Labor
Board OK's Danes
As Burfenders

New York (LPA)-If it's okay
for waitress to bring slug Of
Old Hotstuff to your table, it's
okay for a lady to pour 1t out Of
the dark brown bottle behind the
bar. That was the effect, at least,
of decision by the New York
State Labor Relations Board invol-
wing Larry's Cafe on Eighth Ave-
nue. and its employees.
Technically, all the board did
was deny petition by the company
for an election among its employees
including three barmaids, on the
grounds that none of them belong
ed to union anyway. However, in
a supplemental opinion, board
chairman Keith Lorenz indicated
there was no law against women
bartenders.
Case arose when Local Is Of the
Hotel & Restaurant Workers-AFL
objected to the three barmaids,
holding they were non-union work
ers keeping good union men out of
jobs. Local Is also contended that
back of the bar was no place for a
lady anyway.
Lorenz pointed out that the union
had not objected to lady mixolog-
lists until unemployment among its
male members became acute. He
said Local is, the old meanie, was
just trying to protect jobs for men.
The union once had contract at
Barry's, but refused to admit the
barmaids to membership. Then it
picketed the place as unfair.
There's nothing to prevent the girls
from organizing, however, Lorenz
pointed out. Nothing to prevent
Local 16 from taking the ladies in,
either.

Booklet Traces
Apprenticeship
Since Old Days

Washington, ID. G. ILNS). =
A new booklet on the development
of apprenticeship since Colonial
days makes it clear that a lot car
happen in a few hundred years
Compiled by the U. S. Labor De-
partment's Bureau Of Apprentice
ship, the publication is now on sale
at the Government Printing Office
The booklet contrasts early ap-
prentice indentures with today's
apprentice agreements. Apprentice.
ship methods have changed greatly
since Colonial times. A study OF
what was good enough for great
great-great grandpa underscores
present-day benefits and opportun-
tiles afforded the apprentices.
For example, the booklet, quot
ing an old indenture, shows that in
l640 one apprentice received, as
total compensation for years OF
seryice-living with his master and
working in menial capacity for
so or more hours a week-"meat,
drinke & clothing fitting such an
apprentice e. at the end Of his time
one new suite of apparel & forty
|shillings in money" Presumably,
ne also acquired some knowledge
of his trade but training proceed
|ures were not outlined in the Col
onial contract.
In addition to the 1910 indenture,
the booklet, entitled Apprentice
ship-Past and Present." also cites
indentures dated 1892, 1869, and
1893. 1t describes how apprentices
are trained today, comparing to-
days methods with the experiences
Of Benjamin Franklin as an ap-
prentice in 1718; Of Paul Revere,
whose prowess as an artisan was
as extraordinary as his equestrial
activities; and of apprentices in
subsequent years.
Copies Of the booklet may be
purchased, at Is cents each, by
writing to the Superintendent of
Documents, U. S. Government
Printing Office, Washington 25,

Building Trades
Within tn
Union Shop Rules

Washington (LPA) = The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board will
not go along with General Counsel
Robert nj. Denham's policy exempt
ing the building trades unions from
the union-shop provisions of the
Taft Hartley act.
In a statement Of policy issued
June 6, the NLRB members declar-
ed that if the law is unworkable in
the building trades (as everyone
agrees) it is up to them to report
the fact to Congress, rather than
to change the law themselves by
administrative exemption of a
single industry. This is the first
time that the Board has declared
its stand on the matter.
Both the Taft and the Admins
tration bills to amend the TIL act,
voted down by Congress last year,
would have eliminated all union
shop elections, which have turned
out to be a costly proof of the fact
that workers really want their
unions.
Last December, Denham said he
would waive union-shop elections
in the construction industry be-
cause the nature of the industry in
some areas would make such cleo
tions impossible. He would be the
sole judge of where a. union-shop
election is feasible. The Maehinists
opposed Denham's proposal. The
building trades unions, in effect,
were for it.
Denham has not been sending the
board any unfair labor practice
cases involving the construction in
dustry. The last case the board
handled involving the industry was
in June, 1949.
$50 long as the General Counsel
thinks it fairest and best to exer-
else his exclusive discretion by de-
clining to issue complaints of un-
fair labor practice if employees are
discharged pursuant to an unauth-
orized union-shop contract" the
NLRB statement declared, "the
Board could not, if it would, con-
duet a hearing or find a violation
of law. If and when, however, any
such case reaches the Board Mem
bers for decision, we will have no
choice but to enforce the law as
written"

ILGWU MAPS PLANS FOR
WINNING COLD WAR

Atlantic City (LPA)-A broad
program for winning the "cold
war" was adopted at the Golden
Jubilee Convention of the AFL Int'l
Ladies Garment Workers. The plan
embodied continued support of the
Marshall Plan, aid to western Eu-
rope and Asia, support of the UN,
support of President Truman's
Point ~ plan, and continued op-
position to Franco in Spain. The
program also called for an end of
the veto power in the United Ma
tions.
The Communist movement, said
the declaration, Should be consid-
cred as a criminal conspiracy of
espionage, sabotage and subversion,
working for and serving the inter-
ests of a foreign power which seeks
to rob US of our liberties and con-
quer and enslave US as a nation"

Plumbing Group Sued By US
On Antitrust Charge

Carson City, New. IPA)-The
US Department of Justice has filed
civil antitrust suit here against
the Reno Merchant Plumbing and
Heating Contractors, Inc, its Sec
retary, and 1S members. The US
charges the group has submitted
identical bids and has induced
other plumbers to join the associa-
tion by trying to prevent sales of
supplies to non-members. Net re-
suit, said the suit, was to boost the
price of plumbing supplies.

High Court KOS
Texas Claims To
Underwater Oil

| Washington (LPA) - 1t was
"Black Monday" for Texas wher
the Supreme Court ruled that the
Lone Star state, along with Louis
lana and California, does not have
sovereign right to the rich oil re-
sources of the underwater lands
along the states borders.
The powerful Texas delegation
in Congress Immediately moved in
as the last step in battle which
has been going on ever since thu
oil was discovered under the "tide'
lands" and even further out to sea
They will press bill, already ap
proved by a majority of the House
Judiciary committee, giving the
states clear right to the minera
wealth of the coastal shelf adjoin-
ing the states borders.
The Supreme Court had ruled
three years ago, in a California
case, that the United States gov
ernment's interests in the coasta
resources took precedence over the
states claims. In the June decis-
ions, the court decided the same
applied to both Texas and Louis
lana. Texas claimed that since il
was an Independent republic before
it came into the union, it still own.
ed the lands extending out under
the Gulf of Mexico. The state OF
Louisiana had passed law declar.
ing it's boundaries went 27 miles
out from the shore line.
At stake now-and the decisions
will be up to Congress--are the
way the federal government and
the states will divide the royalties
from leases to private corporations
to exploit the oil resources.
Billions of dollars of revenue are
at stake, since it's estimated that
more than 100 billion barrels, OF
more than four times the proved
resources now available in the
whole United States, are under the
coastal shelf.
Sen. Joseph c. O'Mahoney, 3D.
Wyo.), chairman of the Insular Af-
fairs committee, announced imme-
diately he'll go ahead with hearings
on how to carry out the Supreme
Courts ruling, although the at
torneys general of the two states
will ask for a rehearing before the
court. O'Mahoney proposes that the
revenue be shared with the states,
but that large part go to pay the
national debt. The Texans in Con-
gress support the House commit
tees bill turning revenue over to
the states.
Justice William Douglas in the
ma jority decision in the Texas case
argued that "today the controversy
is over oil. Tomorrow it may be
over some other substance or min
eral or perhaps the bed of the ocean
itself. If the property, whatever it
may be, lies seaward of low-water
mark, it's use, disposition, manage
ment and control involve national
interests and national responsible
tiles. That is the source of national
rights in it."

CcG Big Lobby No
Publishing House,
Says BiemiIIer

Washington (LPA) - The Com
mittee for Constitutional Govern
ment, top lobby for those who hate
organized labor and the Fair Deal,
got rough going-over from Rep.
Andrew Biemiller Cd, Wis., June
5. His attack came the day before
the CCGs executive secretary, Ed
ward Rumely, defied the House
Select Committee on Lobbying Ac-
tivities after being subpoenaed to
identify his financial hackers.
Biemiller told the House the Cog
was the creation of Frank Gannett,
reaetionary publisher of upstate
New York who once coveted Re-
publican nomination for the pres
idency. In great detail, the Wiscon-
sin liberal brought out that the or
ganization is not only anti-labor
in general, but also actually op-
poses collective bargaining and the
right to strike, according to its
published literature.
Biemiller made mincemeat of the
CCG's claim to be a publishing
house, not a lobby. He said the or
gainization was exercising "colos-
sal gall" in denying it was a lobby,
and in complaining to Congress
and the courts that the House COM
mittee on lobbying was violating
freedom of speech by investigating
its activities. Pointing out that it
published nothing but books and
pamphlets on the Taft-Hartley act,
national health insurance and other
legislative matters, he said the
CCG as a publishing house, was
"about as non-political as the Re-
publican National Committee" 1t
is true, Biemiller admitted, that
the cog does not endorse political
candidates, but "in its lexicon of
hate, no administration supporter
is any good"
Biemiller traced the CCG back
to it's formation in 1897 by Gan
nett, who put Edward Rumely in
charge. He reminded the House
that after World War |, Rumely
was indicted and convicted for CO.
operating with the Germans. He
said the organizations first fight
was against FDR's attempt to lib
eralize the Supreme Court, but that
it soon found other liberal pro-
grams to oppose.
The Cog is linked with anti
Semitic and prof. Fascist individuals
and groups. Biemiller declared, but
saved his most whitening fire for
the organization current pet pro-
ject, John t. Flynn's book "The
Road Ahead" The Flynn book is
an attack on Franklin Roosevelt,
Harry Truman and the British
Labor party, in which disaster for
America is predicted if the govern
ment is allowed to control or regu-
late anything at all. Biemiller said
