Metuchen, N. J.-At our last
meeting on Jan. 9, the following
officers were installed: Michael
Smalley, president; John Sommers,
vice president; Andrew Lesko, fin
ancial secretary and George Band
lis, recording secretary.
We were very glad to see SO
many members present to welcome
our national president James M.

a very inspiring talk and came
right to the point on matters per-
tanning to the trade. Following his
address, the Brotherhood chief was
asked many questions on trade
problems.
We take this means of express
ing our sincere thanks to him for
his visit and our earnest wish for
the new year is that he can find
time from his busy schedule, to
drop in on US again in the near
future.
Brothers Smalley and Sommers

sanitary conference in New York
and will make their report at our
next meeting. We feel sure they
will have much to report and we
would like to see a good turnout on

LABOR TELLS u. s. 1T
DEMANDS REAL PRICE CONTROLS

Washington (LPA) - Organized
labor wants real price controls, and
a Wage Sterilization Board with
the power and machinery adequate
for its job.
Members of the United Labor
Policy Committee, representing all
major unions except the United
Mine Workers, told the Wage
Board Jan. II that unless the De-
fense Production Act is changed so
that effective price controls can be
established, and unless the Board
is given the authority to make de-
cisions, they will not bring any
cases before it, and may even with
draw their representatives.
In two-hour session with mobil-
ization chief Charles E. Wilson
later the same day, the labor rep
resentatives again made their stand
clear. They also urged Wilson to
create a public board to advise his
top-drawer Office of Defense Mo-
bilization. 1t would consist of rep
resentatives from labor, manage
ment, agriculture and the public.
The union leaders took their firm
position or the price and wage sit-
uation just one day after Economic
Sterilization Administrator Alan
Valentine announced that there
would be no 30-day freeze on

Chicago Policemen
Guard Labor Chief
Against HoodIums

Chicago (LPA)-Chicago police
have been keeping a close guard on
one of the nations top labor lead
ers since early December because
racketeers are trying to muscle
into the uflioHs here.
William A. Lee, president of the
45O, ,O00-member Chicago Fedora
tion of Labor, president of AFL
Bakery Drivers Local 734, and
trustee of the international Bro
therhood of Teamsters, disclosed
that after threats from hoodlums
he had gone to the police. The story
was confirmed by the union officer
in an interview with radio COM
mentator Vic Barnes over station
VIGIL which is owned by the city's
central AFL body.
Lee said that in November after
union meeting, three racketeers
came up to him in the street and
"made it quite clear to me in very
few words that they wanted to
move into the Bakery Drivers
Union" He'd never seen any Of
them before.
"We want in," said the hoodlums.
Lee gathered they wanted at least
to go on the union payroll and pro-
badly more. When he told them
there wasn't chance, they made it
clear that unless | went along
with what they suggested that
something might happen" Lee
didn't elaborate.
After that, the racket men con-
fined themselves to telephoning,
but their calls weren't friendly.
"We'd like to make a date with
you," they said once. Lee hung up.
Another time they suggested a
get-together at hotel on Chicago's
west side.

Keen Interest Is
Shown In Vote To
Increase Benefits

Great interest is being shown ir
the voting now in progress among
members insured under the Ma.
tional Brotherhood of Operative
Potters Group Insurance plan
Quite a few female members have
inquired whether the benefits pay
able under the present plan woul(
be payable if they were also cover.
ed by family group plan through
the mill or factory where their hus.
band may be employed.
The answer to the above question
is definitely yes. All benefits pay.
able under the NBOP group insur.
ance plan are payable as stated in
the policy, regardless of whether
or not the member is insured under
another plan of insurance.
All benefits are paid directly to
the member unless the benefits are
assigned by the member to a doctor
or hospital. The new plan will pro-
vide benefits up to $3.50 for mis-
cellaneous hospital expense in add
ition to $3.50 per day for room and
board as now provided. The sur
gical benefits will pay up to $150.0C
depending on the nature of the
operation. For example: Appended
tony is listed at $4,000; Tonsil-
lectomy is listed at $25.00; Re-
moval of Kidney is listed at
$4,000. A specified amount is pay
able for every type of surgical op-
Grafton.
Members will keep the policies
they now have. A rider will be sent
to all members listing the new
benefits. The new plan will not go
into effect unless approved by q
majority of the insured members
returning the questionnaires. All
insured members who have as yet
not returned their questionnaire
are urged to do so Immediately in
order that the insuring companies
may know the sentiment of the
members.

The Chamber opposed continu.
alton of t-of-living escalatol
clauses in union contracts and auto
matte productivity pay increases
if wage controls come. In that case
said the Chamber, Jan. l, 1851
would be a good cutoff date for
adjusting wage inequities.
The CED offered a five-point
program as a substitute for wage
and price controls. 1t called for in
creased taxes, savings program,
credit control, curtailment of non
defense spending, and direct con-
trolls including ALLEGATION and ra-
tioning of goods. Marion B. Folsom,
.CED chief, said price freezing
"takes away the dynamic function
ing of our economy and cuts into
incentive.
The NAM said direct controls
should not be invoked until all in
direct controls, such as credit and
proper taxation" have been found
inadequate. If wage controls do
come, they should be on an area
wide basis, said Ira Mosher, NAM
president. He also spoke for the
National Industrial Council and
the Associated General Contrac-
tors.
The National Council of Farmer
Cooperatives, Meeting in Chicago,
came out against price controls on

the same enthusiasm prevails wher
election time rolls around and
those best qualified to represent

1t was also nice to see so many
new faces throughout the room
We hope they will make it a point
to be present every meeting and
not merely put in an appearance
when you have a grievance. The
local at all times strives for the
betterment Of all, and if everything
is running along smoothly in your
particular branch of the trade,
don't feel your presence at meet
ings is not essential. When we be-
come lax in our attendance at
meetings that is the time trouble
creeps up and if you are not will

brothers in their troubles, how can
you expect their support when your
time comes.
