.N Fans May Expect
Long Wait for Color
And More Channels
BY The Asseeio.ed Press

Television fans may have a long
wait for both color broadcasts and
more TV channels.
The Federal Communications
Commission announced last year
that it proposes to expand the
present IL channels in the very
high frequencies to 54 by the addi-
ton Of a. channels in the ultra
high frequencies, away upstairs In
the sound wave spectrum.
Television hearings it opened
last September have been entirely
concerned with whether color
broadcasts are ready for CONNER
cial licensing. FEC announced
this week that the hearings will
continue to deal exclusively with
color at least through the first
week Of May.
Assuming it can get all the tes-
timony in by that time. the COM
mission will next turn to the
problem of finding some small ad-
ditional space in the spectrum for
mobile radio telephone services
without squeezing television's ex-
pansion.
This phase OF the picture may
not take long. but after 1t is heard,
FEC must take testimony on:
/. Whether it is practical to
use high frequencies for
video broadcasting.
2. What the proper mileage
space between television trans
mitters should be.
3. How the proposed AZ new
channels should be allocated over
the country.
officials estimate the ALLEGATION
phase may be reached by late
summer.

Factory Worker Gets
His Highest Check-
And Bigger Bills

WASHINGTON (LPA)-The
average factory worker received
the biggest pay check of his life
during September-but he still
wasn't having any trouble carry
ing home the things he could
buy with it at the corner store.
A food price index of 207 3
per cent dimmed the gleam in
the eyes of the nations 12,90O,-

picked average checks of $50. So

age. That gleam was due to
grow even duller this month
when Uncle Sam started putting
another bite on their take-home
pay and tagging retail prices

prices.
Wage increases won by un-
ions helped boost the average,
according to the US Bureau of
Labor Statistics, but more over
time and the hiring of 900, 900
in the higher paying metal in

the Korean war have also help

Production,
GetsUnderSkin

CHICAGO (LPA) - An irri-
tated and infected skin is the
price more and more production
workers are paying for the high
speed tempo of industry today.
DIR. Clifford H. Kalb, authority
on skin diseases, told the Ma
tional Safety Council here that
industry is using super-agents
for fabrication, mixign, cleans
ing and so on to get faster pro-
duction and these agents are
often super-irritants. He said in
dustry is paying the piper too, in
money lost through the increas-
ed number of sick leaves.
Kalb said the answer is for
industry to make tests of all
new agents to determine which
contain irritating properties.
Employer should also be equip
ped to assist workers who COM
plain of skin disturbances, he
said.
w. F. Scholtz, supervisor of
industrial hygiene for Allis-
Chalmers Manufacturing Co.,
pointed to the great reduction of
skin disease cases at Allis-Chal-
mers since it started its safety
program.

justments obtained by the
UAW-CIO aires ady covers
about three-quarters of the
membership in our union.
Much credit for this is due to
the leadership of our Inter
national Union.
1t was further pointed out
that President Gosser, di-
rector of the Auto-Lite Dept,
had for the first time gotten the
Auto-Lite Corporation to slt
down and work out a national
agreement with the Auto-Lite
locals, which are presently IN
the act of ratifying this con-
tract. This new contract en-
bodies all the basic provisions
required by the UAW-CIO con-
tract and wage policies. If this
contract is approved, it will pro-
vide the greatest impetus thus
far towards organizing the un-
organized Auto-Lite workers
This new contract indicates
what can be accomplished by
unified action of the member
ship i'm one International Union
such as the UAW-CIO. There
are now 19 Auto-Lite plants or
ganized in the UAW-CIO. Sew
eral are i'm the process of being
organized.
The next conference of the
Wage-HOur Council Division
will be October 14th, of the
Heating, Air Conditioning, Ra-
diation and Refrigeration
Council, at the Morrison Hotel
in Chicago. A good turnout
is expected. This is one of
the councils of time, and was
reactivated about a year ago.
We hope that the Local Un-
ions that have not achieved cost
of living wage adjustments will
be able to work something out
with their managements.
The profiteers are out at il
again, and every way person
turns today, he encounters
mark-up in prices. The only an
swer to this, is to adjust wages
to enable workers to meet thi!
rise in the cost of living.

Seasonal cutbacks in tobacco,

An effort will be made to or
ganize the E. w. Bliss Co., Can
ton. Ohio. This is a new plant
and will apparently employ an
estimated 1900 or more workers.
Contracts are also maintained
with the workers at the Her
cules Motors plant, at Canton,
Ohio.
Vice-President Gosser, direc-
tor of the Competitive Shop
Dept, recently announced that
this department in cooperation
with Regional Director. Startling
of Region 8, will launch an or
ganizational drive in the
Waynesboro, Pa, area. WayneS-
boro is located IL or Is miles
from Hagerstown, Md, and is a
notoriously low wage area with
several very important plants
located there. The Landis Tool
apd Lands Machine companies,
although apparently, controlled
by the same corporation, is
nevertheless, operated as two
distinct and separate units.
Regional Director. Gerber of
Region 9, reports an NLRB cleo
ton will probably be ordered
very soon at the Budd Red Lion
Plant, Philadelphia. The Com
petitive Shop Dept, has been
assisting with this drive for the
past several months, and we
hope it will result in a victory
for UAW.
The Wage-HOur Council Di-
vision of Competitive Shop
Dept, has held a number of
successful conferences. The
last one was the National
Bearing Council conference,
which was held in New York
City on Sept. 10th. This con-
ference was quite well at
tended, and a lively discussion
took place, particularly, ON
the cost of living wage in
ere S, which are being
granted by many firms under
contract to the UAW-CIO at
this time.
Many of the delegates asked
for information on how they
might proceed to obtain similar
cost of living adjustments for
their local union members
Brother Richard Reisinger, as
sistant director of the Wage
Hour Council Division, gave a
comprehensive report on wage
information as well as valuable
information regarding the war
contracts obtained by many
firms in the bearing industry.
Brother Joseph Mattson, as
sistant director of Competitive
Shop Dept, reported on the or
ganizational phases and activi-
ties in the Competitive Shop
Dept, and discussed the mean
ing of the armament program
and how it will effect workers
in our industry. the possibility
of obtaining as quickly as pos
sible cost of living wage ad-
justments before the wage freeze
is instituted. VI
He pointed out that no
other union in the country had
made the tremendous gains
that our union has made for
the membership of the UAW-
CIO. The cost of living ad-

q protest filed by the lBEW cna
ence during the election, they v
they could not win their case,
thus opening the way for the
run-off election. The Hazelton
plant is expected to eventually
employ about 1000 workers.
Some months ago we reported
than an election was held at
the Farm Tools, Inc, Mans
field, Ohio. Due to interference
by the company during the cleo
ton, the UAW failed to win.
The .UAW protested the COM
pany's action, stating that the
democratic rights of the work
ers to choose their own bargain
ing representative had been
violated, and now after several
months delay, the NLRB Re-
gional Board has recommended
that the UAW charges. be up
held. The case is now before
the National Board at Washing
ton, and if the National Board
agrees with the recommends
tions of the Regional Board, it
would pave the way for a new
election.
The workers at the Stand
ard COmmutatOr Plant, OwOs-
so, Mich, are showing con-
siderable interest i'm the Or
ganizatiOnaI drive recently in
stituted there by the UAW. AS
a result of this drive, several
other plants i'm that area are
appealing for assistance i'm or
ganizing.
OwOssO, is Gov. Dewey's
home town - but the work
ers i'm OwOSsO are demOnStrat-
ing that they are much in
terested i'm good wages and a
good union contract under the
banner of the UAW-CIO.
They are not interested in the
OwOssO Chamber of Com
merce propaganda put on in
behalf of Governor Dewey.
Negotiations are NOV n g
ahead rapidly for contracts to
protect the workers and prop
erly adjust wages in the Alum
mum & Magnesium Plant, San
dusky, Ohio, and the Bro Mfg.
Co, Marblehead, Ohio. The
workers in these two plants
voted overwhelmingly for UAW
i'm recent NLRB elections held
there recently.
The hearing on the petition of
the City Foundry, Milwau-
kee, will take place on Sept. %.
The workers have signed cards
authorizing the UAW-CIO to
represent them for the purpose
of collective bargaining. We are
confident that as soon as an
election is ordered, the workers
will choose the UAW-CIO.
The OrganizatiOnal drive at
the Maynard Steel Foundry,
Milwaukee, still continues.
Progress there is considerably
stymied because the company
granted two series of wage in
creases and in addition a pen
sion plan that is entirely paid
for by the company. The PEN
sion payments will be as high
as $4,000 a month. Another
provision of the pension set
up is that a worker upon leav-
ing the employ of the COM
pany, will have the right to
collect i'm a lump sum his ac-
cumulated credits i'm the pen
sion plan. Needless, to say,
under these circumstances, or
ganization is proving extreme
Iy difficult.
Efforts are under way to or
ganize the Port Clinton Machine
Co. Port Clinton, Ohio.

In the NOrthside Post

In the NOrthside Post
We have no hestitsncy in going
on record by declaring we believe
Dolores Grigsby of Patrick Henry
high school has one Of the most
beautiful voices we have ever
heard. We do not have this back
ground to explain technical rea-
sons why we believe Dolores will
go far in the musical world. II we
did have those qualifications there
would be no danger Of our getting
our nose poked by any of her rel
atives because of what we said
about her singing. Everything we
would say about her would be
good. There would be no criticism.
We have never heard a high
school girl who could hit the
notes as clear and hold them as
long as Dolores. It's a voice that
simply carries you out of the
drab atmosphere in this world and
brings you into a beautiful and
heavenly surrounding. In addition
to carrying on her music Dolores
is an outstanding student at Pat
rick Henry and has also won an
art scholarship.
Mark the name down. In fu-
ture years you are going to hear
a lot about Dolores Grigsby Of
Patrick Henry. She today ranks
as one Of the top sOlOIsts In
Minneapolis high school circles.
She has personality and every
thing else that goes with a
stage persons action.
We don't know who will be
responsible for Dolores Grigsbys
future musical career. We dc
hope. however. there is some way
her voice can be given to the
world to which it nghtfully be-
longs.
As much as we feel Dolores
loves music personally. we also
feel she can do much good for heI
people II she will continue singing
the way she did last Thursday al
the North Side Commercial Club
She has it in her power to carry
on the fine work that othel
singers Of her race have contribu
ted to the world. We honestly be
lieve that she Is the best higl
school singer we have ever heard
Patrick Henry. especially, and tn
North Side as a whole, can AT
ford to be proud OF her today. WI
believe they will be even proude
Of her in the future.
