that federal aid to medical educa-

Officers Elected
At Last Meeting
OF Local No. ia

AS the year 1850 slowly comes

this objective.

next six months was elected at our
last meeting and are as follows:
President, Alan Rose; Walter Fin
ley, vice president; Fred Mount

These Workers Get
Time And A Half
For Free Lunch

Houston, Texas (LPA)-E. NJ
Wise not only gives his workers a
good lunch free, but pays them
time and half while they eat. He
runs a butcher shop for his EN-
ployes at rs percent below the
market price. And those who wish
can go hunting deer for a week
during the season, while their pay
goes on.
Wise heads the Southwest Fabri-
eating and Welding Co. here, and
of his 375 employees, $50 are men,
bers of United Association Local
Union No. 211, Journeymen and
Apprentices of the Plumbing and
Pipe Fitting Industry, AFL. Wise
is an ex-member of the union and
his personnel director was the
unions business agent for 10 years.
The meals usually consist of two
meats, four vegetables, coffee, tea,
milk, and dessert, served family
style, with no limits on quantity.
All meat and fowl sold in the
butcher shop on a non-profit basis
come from Wise's own ranch. The
livestock is slaughtered at a local
packing house and sent to food
lockers at the plant
The employees do their deer hunt
ing on Wise's hunting lease. AL
though the contract calls for one
weeks vacation, the employees get
a week for hunting, a week at
Christmas, and the week of July a..
In addition on several days during
the year the plant shuts two to
four hours early, but the workers
get paid for full day.
Why does Wise do it? Simple.
He says it pays in the excellent
employer-employe relationship.
The firm specializes in fabricat-
ing, bending and welding of car
bon steel and alloy steel pipe for
nations. Formed in 1943, it has be-
come the nations largest volume
producer for pipe fabricating pro-
ducts.

Production Cut
After New Year
On video Sets

Washington (LPA) = Production
of television sets declined last
month and manufacturers predict
ed they would have to cut output
anywhere from 80 to 70 percent
starting Jan. l. Shortages of alum
inum, copper, cobalt, and other
metals are responsible. Set makers
may be able to stretch supplies a
little by simplifying circuits and
cutting quality.
This situation makes the dispute
raging about color TV sets point
less. RCA recently scored public
triumph by demonstrating a new
tricolor picture tube much better
than anything they had previously
produced. Most observers thought,
though, that it was still not as good
as the CHS color.
The advantage of the RCA sys-
TEN is that it can be received over
present TV sets with no adjust
ment. CHS programs can't be re-
ceived without converters being
added to the sets now in use.
Officials. of the Federal Com
munications Commission were not
3 invited to the RCA demonstration.
David Sarnoff, RCA president, said
the reason was that their color de-
cision is now being tested in the
courts. FEC had approved the CHS
system, and authorized it to start
Nov. 20. The court proceedings
have held it up. .
First union to enter the fray is
the Int'l Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers in Chicago. The AFL
union protested in behalf of $4,000
members working on television sets
that the CHS color system would
create unemployment and retard
the entire television industry"

Supreme Court Ia
Rule On Boyeotts
Under TIL Law

Washington UPA) - The Sup.
RENE Court has agreed to say what
is and what isn't a secondary boy
colt under the Taft-Hartley act.
The court accepted four cases
bearing on the point Dec. IL and
will hear arguments by all parties
before handing down a decision.
The National Labor Relations
Board has narrowed the question
in a series of rulings but a high
court opinion is expected to settle
the issue for as long as the act is
on the books.
The court said it would review
the following four disputes:
An appeal by the AFL Carpent-
ers of a case arising in Chat
tanooga, Tenn. in 1947. The union
struck the residence of George D.
Stanley, who had hired a non-union
concern to install floor covering.
A lower court ordered the strike
halted.
An appeal by the AFL Electrical
Workers of case arising in Green
wich, Conn. The union picketed a
housing project being built by the
Giorgi Construction Co. because
the electrical subcontractor was
using non-union labor. The picket
ing was halted by court order.
An appeal by the government of
a case arising in Denver. The gov
ernment ordered the Denver Build
ing & Construction Trades Council
and two member unions to stop
picketing a project being built by
Doose & Lintner, who also had a
non-union electrical subcontractor.
The NLRB said the picketing was
an illegal secondary boycott, but
the courts ruled for the unions.
An appeal by the government OF
a case involving six rice mills IN
Louisiana. AFL Teamsters were
ordered to refrain from picketing
a rice mill where they had barred
a truck owned by a third party
from entering. The courts refused
to enforce the order.

Civilian Use
Of Steel To
Be Cut Soon

Washington (LPA)-"We are at
war;" said Sen. Lyndon johnson
ID, Tex.), Dec. 6, "and we must
mobilize militarily and economical
ly as rapidly and efficiently as we
can" Johnson is chairman of the
Senate's Preparedness Subcommit-
tee, whose duty is to ride herd on
the whole defense program.
But once again, the capital and
the nation were learning as they
learned a decade ago that it takes
more than angry talk to bring mo-
bilization about. They also were
learning that in an economy still
inadequately developed in some
particulars guns can be had only
at the cost of butter. In short more
"cutbacks" were due which would
mean increasing shortages Of con-
sumner goods.
With civilian consumption of
aluminium, steel and a number of
other key materials already order
ed cut, the National Production
Authority announced civilian use
of steel might be curtailed soon.
This one would hurt, everyone
knew. For steel means automobiles,
refrigerators, stoves, vital build
ing materials and a hundred other
things basic to the American stand
ard of living.
NPA spokesmen revealed that
after a closed-door meeting steel
companies generally agreed" with
NPA Administrator William H..
Harrison on the necessity Of cut
back-and on the necessity Of ex-
panding production rapidly. But,
nobody would say exactly when the
cutback would come. Labor econ
omists have long pointed out that
the reluctance of the steel indus
try to expand swiftly in the post
World War ii years meant serious
shortages eventually-come war or
peace.)

Food Chemicals
May Cause Cancer
Expert Testifies

Washington (LPA) "A cancer
expert has urged revision of the
Pure Food & Drug Act "to protect
the public from insidious cancer
producing chemicals"
DR.. Francis E. Ray, director OF
the University of Florida's Cancer
Research Laboratory, told the spec
ial House Committee on Chemicals
investigating the act, that any new
chemical which is to be added to
food should be tested for at least
Is months on large numbers of
animals. There is no such protec-
tion for consumers in the present
law.
Ray said the government should
ban the use of arsenic sprays on
tobacco and food crops, and the use
of sex hormones in cosmetics.
The "high incidence of lung can
Ger among heavy smokers" he said
may be due to a residue from in
secticides containing arsenic which
some farmers spray on their grow
ing tobacco crops.
Female sex hormones, used in
some cosmetics now, have been
"shown to induce cancer in female
animals when administered for a
long period" he told them.
Evidence showing the need for
changes in the law continues to
pile up before the committee. Only
a few manufacturers and trade
associations have opposed the pre-
cautionary measures suggested.

Research debunked the "vastly

Miami CTS Gypped
On Homes, Senate
Survey DiscIoses

Washington (LPA)-The GI's il
Miami, Fla, were gypped on th'
homes they bought. That is reveal
ed in report by the staff of the
Senate Banking committee which
investigated the damage caused BY
the hurricane there Oct. II and Is
Says the report: Actually, in
sofar as we could observe in oul
inspections throughout the city
the damage inflicted on VA-guar,
anteed homes and FHA-insurec
homes appeared to be greater than
upon other homes.o ~
The words appeared to be" is ar
understatement, for the body of the
report shows that in the Bay Point
project, for example, where the
homes cost $25, 900 to $4,000, there
was virtually no damage. But in
the $4,000 to $4,000 group, damage
was extensive. In most cases the
roofs were blown off. And they
were blown off, the investigation
showed, because they were poorly
constructed, inferior material was
used, common laborers were used
instead of skilled craftsmen, the
building code was ignored, and in
spection was inadequate.
The Senate committee staff, a
Florida architect, and qualified
roofing contractor made the invest
igation.
Says the report: "The extensive
damage would have been far less
if the building codes, FILA min
imum standards and contractors
specifications had been consistent
ly adhered to; if the level of work.
manship had been up to standard
through the employment of quail
fled workmen; if more adequate
and careful inspections had been
made and if good building practices
had been more closely followed"
The committee stairs findings
and conclusions, it reported, were
verified by the results of much
more comprehensive engineering
survey by a private firm by dam
age to homes in North Miami, and
by confidential opinions from pro-
fessional sources.#
