National Labor Relations Board Report
Reveals How tn Gummed up Works
Washington GPA)-During the

Washington LPA)-During the
debate preceding passage OF the
aft-Hartley act, labor predicted
that instead of bringing labor
peace, TIL would gum up the
works. The annual report OF the
I National Labor Relations Board
just released, proves the point,
The report is for the fiscal year
ending June 80, l949, the first full
year of operation under TIL. II
was the busiest year in the l4-year
history of the NLRB, with 81, ,79d
cases closed, compared with l4,-
456 cases in fiscal 1947, the last
and busiest year under the Wagner
act.
The five-member board ISSUED
formal decisions in 1866 cases
against 2054 in fiscal l948, a jump
of ga per cent. Complaints on un-
fair practices issued by the office
of the General Counsel (Denham)
totalled GIT, against 305 in fiscal
l948. Denham petitioned for 81 in
functions (21 in 1948)--all against
labor organizations. He got l6
four were withdrawn or dismissed
six remained pending.
/ The NLRB field staff conducted
20,720 elections, involving 2,34 ,45G
employees. Of these 1904, involv-
ing 1,733,922 employees, were union
shop authorization elections. The
unions won 1851 of these, or 96.7
per cent. CAT the estimated cost of
40 cents per vote, these elections
cost Uncle Sam $694, ,568. The cleo
tions disproved the anti-labor
thesis that union workers, if only
given a chance, would reject the
idea of union security. Even Sen.
Taft is now willing to drop this
costly and fruitless provision of
the law. And the biggest and cost
liest union shop elections are yet
to come, for 235,000 General
Motors employees are now voting on
a union shop, and the Steelworkers
plan to seek similar elections SOON }
During fiscal 1949 the NLRB
conducted 5646 elections, involving
607,534 employees on representa-
tion in collective bargaining. OF
these the unions won 1899, or II
per cent. But of the 1872 elections
held as result of petitions to de-
certify, the unions won only so.
Of the 157 representation elections
held as a result of petitions filed
by employers, the unions won 100.
That the TIL act gummed up the
works is evident again in the fig
ures on hearings held by trial
examiners in unfair labor practice
cases. They held hearings in Ala
of such eases, an increase of 1872
per cent over fiscal 1948. They is
sued intermediate reports in 1928
cases, an increase of 154 per cent
over fiscal 1948.
The Board had to force 228 cases
of resumption of collective bar
gaining, where the employer had
refused to bargain; the board had
to disestablish unions dominated by

Home For Spdstic Children
In Chicago Aided By Unions

Chicago (LPA) - A group OF
handicapped children has begun
life anew here because the Amerl7
can Federation of Labor took a
hand in their future. The nine
children are the first pupils in a
new boarding school for spastlc
paralysis victims established in a
four story brick mansion by the
AFL, the Ruth Lodge for Crippled
Children, and the Parents Associa-
tion for Spastic Children's Aid.
Main push was provided by the
AFL and its Midwest Director of
Organization, l.. j. Wadsworth,
himself the father Of 12-year-old
spastic son.
Wadsworth says he discovered
the Parents Association by accid-
ent and Immediately decided to do
what he could to promote it. "Par-
ents of Chicago's 5000 spastic chill
dren, faced with the failure of the
Board of Education to educate their
children to the point where they
could be useful citizens, found they
had to devise their own means to
help the children" he points out.
"A spastic child often cannot learn
as rapidly as ordinary children, but
he can learn slowly, and so the
school will be set up to keep pace
with the child's learning ability and
give him a chance in life"
The school is in the 18-room resi-
dence that in the past housed Chi
cago political boss John Powers
and other bigwigs. The Ruth Lodge
put up $4,000 to buy it, and then
the AFL building trades went to
work to renovate it.
Plumbers Local 100 did the
plumbing which included raising
the bathtubs so skilled attendants
can bathe the children properly.
Lathers Local "a and Plasterers
Local repaired walls and ceilings.
Electricians Local 1874 did the wir-
ing and made all necessary install
lations. The Upholsterers restored
secondhand furniture for h e
school and provided other furniture
especially designed for the handi-
capped youngsters. Carpenters are
putting in ramps for wheel chairs
and have done all the rest of the
carpentry. The Painters redecorat-
ed the mansion from top to bot

deadlocked because of manage

|ITF ToFight
Red Plot Against
Arms Shipments

London (LPA) - The executive
board of the International Trans
portworkers Federation has voted
to oppose at every turn Commun-
ist campaign to block the unload
ing in western EuroDeap norts of
arms cargoes from the US under
the Atlantic Pact.
The Communist plot was report
ed to the executives by the Vigil
ance Committee of ITF dock work
ers and seamen headed by Tom
Yates of the National Union of
Seamen of Great Britain. "Com-
munist instructions are to achieve
this object by all possible means,
, and to use, if necessary, violence
and sabotage, in order to intimi-
date workers." the report revealed.
The HF will counter through sub
committees of the Vigilance Com
mittee in the ports concerned
whose members will root out the
Communists and expose their acti-
vities.
The ITF officers adopted the
Viligance Committees report which
declared the ITF was satisfied that
the Atlantic Pact "is an instru-
ment of democratic countries" and
called upon 1TF affiliates unions
ito oppose by all means at their
disposal the political campaign
which has been launched against
western Europe by the Cominform.
They said that the Communists
pretend to be anti-militaristic but
| "have glorified their own brand of
militarism in a way which has
never been known before" They
denounced Soviet treatment of the
satellite states" as an example of
Communist military techniques.
The executive committee named
Omer Becu of Belgium as acting
general secretary of the ITF to re-
place j. H. Oldenbroek who in Dec
ember was elected general secre-
tary of the new international Con-
federation of Free Trade Unions.
Becu formerly was ITF president.
New president is Robert Bratschi,
president of the Swiss Federation
of Labor and of the Swiss railroad
workers. Representing American
ITF affiliates at the meeting was
A. E. Lyon, secretary of the Rail-
way Labor Executives Association.

employers in 3S cases; the board
had to force employers in IT'S cases
to post notices promising to stop
illegal practices.
OF the 1914 unfair labor practice
cases filed during fiscal 1949, those
against employers numbered 4l54,
or 78 per cent, with charges of dis
elimination against union members
the basis of 1868 cases; in 1910
cases, the charge was refusal to
bargain; in 534 cases the charge
was interfering in formation of a
union, or dominating such an or
ganization.

lOHl. w WduSNOIlIi, 1ii PVhsSh 800
self, put in storm windows. The
Chicago Window Washers Local of
the Building Service Employees Init
Union gave the school final going
over before it opened.
All work was contributed, much
of it by apprentices. Contractors
associations and individual contrac-
tors supplied most of the materials.
The project was off to fast start
last year when Vic Barnes, the
AFL's Chicago radio commentator,
plugged it over the air, making 1T
known to thousands of union MEM
berS.
The school, which has the most
modern equipment available, is
staffed by a resident superintend-
ent, a registered nurse and trained
instructors. The first nine students
will be joined soon by IL more,
bringing the student body to its
capacity of 20. All students will be
of grade school age. They will get
at least a minimum grade school
education even though some of
them may take two or three years
in a grade. They will also receive
complete medical treatment.
With 5000 spastic children in
Chicago alone, Wadsworth and his
colleagues don't want to stop just
because they have a boarding
school for 20. They've formed a
promotion committee on which the
AFL's top national officers are
serving. Joseph keenan,, director
of Labor's League for Political
Education, and until recently top
executive officer of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, is a member,
as is William McFetridge, president
of the Building Service Employees
who was recently elected to the
AFL Executive Council.
The AFL Committee in Behalf
of Parents Association for Spastic
Children's Aid has a three-fold.
First off, it will raise funds to keep
the new school going in a first-rate
manner. Second, it will press for
state and national legislation to
expand and improve institutional
care for spastic youngsters. Third,
it will seek additional legislation
supporting medical research on
spastic paralysis. Success will mean
new lives for thousands.
Committee members i'm addition
to those named include Wadsworth;
Steve Bailey, business manager of
Plumbers Local 1870; James Blake
ly, vice-president of the Hotel &
Restaurant Employees; Byron Dal-
ton, business manager Of Plaster
ers Local 5; Thomas Haggerty,
secretary of Milk Drivers Local
1853; James +. Hastings, business
manager of Lathers Local ID; Pete
regional director of the
Retail Clerks; Stanley Johnson,
secretary of the Chicago Carpen-
ters District Council; William A. |

rotary of Painters District Council

themselves to a big job for human
ty, the saving of thousands of
children for normal, useful lives.

BY MARY HEATON WORSE
For Labor Press Association

Hamtramck, Mich. (LPA) = It
was almost blizzard when ! went
to Local Dodge here with Mildred
Jeffrey, UAW radio director. We
know each other from the old days
when we both were organizing for
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers, the shirt makers i'm the coal
region around Pottsville and Sham
okin, Pa.-the days when i'm the
little shirt factories widows and
orphans were getting 10 cents and
Is cents an hour.
Dodge 8 is one of the locals
where anti-administration elements
are strong, but the JAW is a
young turbulent, disputatious and
independent union, and as someone
said, there would be a loud and po-
tent opposition even if they had
Abraham Lincoln for president.
The last time | was here was in
1897, in the sit-down era. The wind
had been bowling and the snow
blowing then too, only it was 2 A.
M. and we'd just heard there had
been a settlement of the Chrysler
strike in Lansing. Final negotia-
tions depended on whether the sit
down strikers would agree to move
out of the factory and let the
guards in. The pickets warmed
themselves around great fire in
an iron barrel, and from time to
time they came i'm for coffee, to the
cafe where we reporters were
waiting for the union leaders to
come from Lansing. When they got
there at last they literally talked
themselves hoarse before the strik-
ers were persuaded they weren't
being double-crossed.
1t was the Chrysler strike that
led to the epidemic Of sit-downs in
Detroit in 1887. Everyone sat
down; the girls in the Five and
Ten, the department stores, small
factories even the walters and bell
hops in the Cafe Rouge of the Stat
Ter, while Lily Pons was marooned
on the 18th floor. New Chrysler
was on strike again, with industry
putting up just as mean a fight as
ever, though in a different way.
We went in through the kitchen
door. They eat well i'm the strike
Kitchens here, maybe because there
are so many women in the indus
try. The women from the wire de-
partment We're helping in the
kitchen. The day shift of cooks was
donated by the AFL. Contrary to
the propaganda floating around
Detroit that strike helpers are
lot of pork choppers, the facts
are that people doing strike work
and picket duty get food, but are
not paid.
Big Ed Barttlebort, Dodge local
president, was away on negotia-
tions, so the first person | met was
William Stachiw, publicity director
and editor of Main Dodge News.
lie told me Dodge 3 has 10000
members, next to Ford the biggest
JAW local. About half the mem
bers are Polish or Of Polish decent.
but thousands, especially t h e
younger ones who have come in
since the war, are from the South.
There are 5000 Negroes, and 25OO
women, many more than before the
war. In a shop where she is the
only woman, Martha Telinda is the
shop steward.

Labor Song Book
Sponsored By lam

New YORK (LPA)-"Let's shed a
tear for the bosses, It's really
tough what they are goi 6
through; In this modern day and
age They must pay a living wage,
So, Let's all shed tear, boo hoe"
So runs the chorus Of Lets All
Shed A Tear" one of the eight
songs in "Sing A Labor Song, a
book just published, sponsored by
the International Association OF
Machinists. Gerald Marks, writer
of many hit tunes, and Milton Pas
cal wrote the words and music.
"We in the Machinists union
have long felt that the American
working men and women needed
new songs through which to ex-
press their hopes and determine
tion," said AL Hayes, lam pres
ident. "We believe this collection
will help meet that need. These
songs tell labor's story better, per-
haps, than all the speeches we
could make. | know they will be
enjoyed by Americans in all walks
of life. believe that they will help
us as Americans to understand one
another better"
How did Marks, whose hits in
clude "Is 1t True What They Say
About Dixie" and who has been
used to working with "moon and
June" stuff, get to write labor
songs? Well, "he married into the
labor movement" he explained.
That is, he married Edna Berger
former Philadelphia newspaper
woman who has been for some
years an international representa-
tive Of the American Newspaper
Guild. Edna's interest is the labor
movement. Marks interest is Edna.
That's how.
The songs are Lets Shed A
Tear; "A Pin For Your Lapel" Ia
pension song); Fifty Years Ago.
(reviewing labor's gains); "Elec-
tion Day" (for use in the register
and-vote campaign); "The Guy |
Send To Congress-; "An A Picket
Line" Ga chant for use by pickets) !;
ut Can Only Happen In the USA"
Ga patriotic song). Hayes favorite
is the Congress song. declaring that
the guy he sends to Congress "bet-
ter give me a good square deal,
cause Pm not casting my vote for
him just because of his sex appeal"
! The song book is 25 cents, with
big discounts for quantity orders.
For example, a union ordering
$500 would get the books at 1919
cents each. Any union ordering
$500 copies or more can use its own
foreword. The original edition car
ries foreword by Hayes.
Record albums of the eight songs
(two records) will be ready about
March l and will cost S2.45, all
charges included, with lower prices
on bulk orders. Both the books and
the records are sold by Gerald
