60OO Wallpaper
Workers Strike
For Wage Raise

New York (LPA)-The US wall
paper industry came to a virtual
standstill Sept. when 5000 men,
bers of the United Wall Paper
Craftsmen & Workers-AFL struck
40 of 43 plants in the east and
midwest.
Walkout was called when the old
contract expired the night before
while negotiations being conducted
in Washington We're deadlocked.
The union was demanding a 20
cent increase, plus pensions, well
fare benefits and 25 other improve
ments. Best offer from the COM
panies was a dime, Joseph M.
Jacobs, union attorney, reported.
The strike shut down 96 percent of
the industry, Jacob added.
Wallpaper plants in % cities
We're hit by the stoppage. Among
them were plants in Chicago,
Cleveland, Philadelphia, Kansas
City, Stamford, Conn; Chelsea,
Mass; Crystal Lake, Coal City, and
Decatur, H.; Plattsburg, Niagara
Falls, Glens Falls, Cortlandt, North
Towanda, and Ronkonkoma, N. Y.
Normally, the union signs a
standard contract with the entire
industry. Agreement reached with
Wall Paper Institute of New York,
which represents 25 firms, usually
sets the pattern.
Before the strike, wallpaper
workers received $1.26 an hour.
Skilled color print mixers were
paid 1882 after four years.

TUG Drops Restraint On Wages;
FoiIs Reds On koreu Atom Bomb

| Brighton, England (LPA)-By 9
narrow margin, delegates to the
82nd annual conference of the
Trades Union Congress voted Sept
IL to abandon the "wage restraint
policy they followed for two years
at the Labor government request
The TUG is the Labor Party's main
support.
A day earlier, the delegates by
a 10 to l vote gave their all-out
support to United Nations action
in Korea and to the government re-
armament program. Thus, although
the wage action was proposed by a
Communist and backed by Com
munists, it was not viewed as a
Red maneuver. Apparently British
workers just don't care to deny
their pocketbooks any longer.
The wage vote came two days
after the delegates heard Prime
| Minister Attlee solemnly warn that
new economic hardships probably
were in store for Britons because
of the necessity of rearming to
meet Communist aggressions. Att
lee did not rule out wage increases,
but he did say that the unions
should continue to practice re-
straint. The conference vote was
against the advice of top TUG lead
erS.
The fact that the delegates aban-
doned the restraint policy did not
mean an immediate wave of major
strikes, observers pointed out, be-
cause attempts to oppose war
time arbitration policy were gde-
feated decisively. Under this policy,
promulgated in 1912, a union must
give 21 days notice of a strike.
Then the union can be compelled to
accept arbitration.
When the British pound was de-
valued a year ago, the TUG agreed
to let the unions seek wage boosts
if the cost of living index rose to
118. The index hasn't reached that
level, but prices have gone up and
British workers are restless. In
June, the council proposed policy
of "flexibility." About 100000 of
the TUGS 100000 members al
ready have claims for higher wages
pending and more claims are sure
to follow. Coupled with abandon
ment of wage restraint" was a
demand for control of profits. The
general council will be bound by
the conference vote, although gov
ernment and employers won't be.
On Sept. 6, the sprinkling of
Communist delegates tried to block
approval of support for the UN in|
Korea and to put over resolu-
tion outlawing the atom bomb. ALL
though they did a little better on
the second proposition than on the
first, their only concrete result was
to throw the conference into AMI

effort by TUG President Herbert
L. Bullock to limit debate on atomic
energy.
Sir Vincent Tewson, TUG secre-
tary, was roundly applauded when
he expressed gratitude toward the
United States for acting swiftly in
Korea in behalf of the United Ma
tions. Tewson said he spoke for 80
percent of the TUG membership
and blasted the Communists as
traitors and saboteurs." Tewson
also urged the delegates not tol
throw wage restraint" entirely to
the winds.
On the opening day of the con-
ference, Bullock warned delegates
against Communist "stooges and

DANISH LABOR PAPER
BLASTS RED SABOTAGE

Copenhagen, Denmark (LPA)-
Communist leaders of the Union
of Dock Laborers tried to halt the
unloading at Danish port of 30C
tons of American ammunition des-
tined for the Technical Corps OF
the Danish Army. This was the
story told by the Social-Demokrat-
en-, official publication of the Dan
ish Labor Party, which strongly
denounced the action.
1t termed the strike attempt a
."Cominform maneuver" and said
that Cominform agents "are try
ing to make trade unions carry
resolutions against unloading of
ammunition and arms for Danish
defense" The union informed the
government that the strike was IL
legal and that the unloading would
go on, the publication reported.

Marines VS.. Trumon Fight Best
FORGOTTEN; Get Record Straight

Washington (LPA)--The Repub
licans are trying to win the Con
gressional elections by making tht
unfortunate tiff between Presiden
Truman and the Marine Corps {
campaign issue. But for everybody.
good the whole business had bes
be forgotten, most observers here
agree.
Truman himself, game guy il
ever there was one, repaired 9
great deal of the harm when he ap.
peared Unexpectedly before the
Marine Corps League, meeting
here, the morning of Sept. 7. The
delegates, who had wanted hin
tarred and feathered the day be-
fore, ended cheering him to the
rafterS.
The President walked in with
Marine Corps Commandant Gener-
al Clifton Gates. Said Gates: "We
in the Marine Corps admire cour-
age, especially personal courage. .
Said Truman to the delegates:
"You succeeded in enticing me
over here"
Certain incidents, the President
said, seem "almost the end of the
world when they happen but they
turn out in the end to be good for
all concerned" That was that.
When North Korea attacked
South Korea, the President said,
he had to pick between backing
out or surrendering. You know
what the decision was because |
don't think any other way" 1t was
the kind of talk Marines .under-
stand. 81 hope from now on" the
President added, "there will be no
misunderstanding between u.s."
: Nevertheless, before the incident
dies, the record should be set
straight. Here's what happened:
: Rep. Gordon McDonough Or,
Calif.) wrote the President urging
him to give the Marines represent
! alton on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In his reply, the President cast
no aspersions at all on the Mar
ines history, honor, or fighting
ability. "Nobody desires to belittle
the efforts of the Marine Corps"
he wrote.
However, the President said the
Marines had no claim to direct rep
resentation on the Joint Chiefs of
Staff because "the Chief of Naval
Operations is the Chief of Staff
of the Navy of which the Marines
are a part"
The President also stuck his
foot squarely in his mouth. He said,
"The Marine Corps is the Navy'sl
police force and as long as | ami
President that is what it will re-
main" The words "police force"
were technically inaccurate and ILL
chosen.
To make matters worse, the Pre-
sident said the Marines shave a.
propaganda machine that is almost
equal to Stalin's." Although it is
no secret that the Marines keep up |
a running campaign for representa-
tion on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, |
the Presidents reference to Stain
was an unvarnished boner. Nc
Donough put the Presidents reply
in the Congressional Record Sept, |

To make matters still worse, the
Marine Corps League assembled in
Washington right after the news
broke. Finally, following a few
days of Republican mud-slinging

|VFW 10 Press Drive
For Early Enactment
OF Universal Traininq

Early enactment of a universal
military training program will be
pressed by the Veterans of For
eign Wars during the coming ses-
sions of Congress.
The National Legislative Com
mittee of this organization, at a
weekend session here, canvassed
more than 400 resolutions adopted
by the last convention, and de-
cided on those which will be
pressed by its legislative force
here.
In addition to the training pro-
gram it placed high on it's list
immediate construction and main
tenance of a 70-group Air Force;
placing of the minimum peace
time strength of the Marine Corps
at four divisions with supporting
air units, and opposition to all
forms of world government.
The committee decided to urge
President Truman to issue instruc-
tions to the Administrator of the
Veterans Administration to amend
Regulation x provisions so that
veterans may obtain homes cost
ing $4,000 or less without down
payment.
The VFW committee will take
steps against any efforts to reduce
veterans preference in Federal
employment.
The committee urged that all
nations share in food aid for
YugoSlavia. While it asked that
Congress sympathetically consider
the Presidents request for a $1OO
aid program, the commit
tee suggested some good old
fashioned American trading in
stinct so that the United States
does not become Santa Claus to|
every foreign nation without a
oroportionate effort by other
members of the United Nations
whose security is involved in this

How much money has the Virgin
