Washing+on Women
Topic For East
High Street Club

Mrs. E. A. Wall, First Vice
President, presided over the busi-
ness session of the East High
Street Club on Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Ray Andrews presented an
interesting paper on Women in
Washington" choosing four wom-
en- currently prominent in public
life; Mrs. India Moffet Edwards,
Mrs. Robert Mccoy, Mrs. Perle
Mesta, and Miss Margaret Tru-
man.
Mrs. Edwards left a successful
career as newspaper woman when
she became irked at statements
made by Clare Booth Luce. She
went to her Democratic head
quarters and asked for job. To-
day she is Assistant Chairman of
the Democratic National Com
mittee.
Mrs. Mccoy came naturally in
to the political field Altho her
entire family had been active as
Democrats she decided on her
nineteenth birthday to become
Republican. The next year She
had her first assignment at twenty
dollars a week. Ten years later
she was Assistant Chairman of the
Republican National Committee
with salary of twelve thousand
dollars. She resigned in 1949.
Both Mrs. Edwards and Mrs.
Mccoy have proven themselves
sincere and ardent advocates of
the principle that the people must
be aroused to think and act poll
tically.
Mrs. Perle Mesta represents
both political and social circles in
Washington. AS an active worker
in the Wilke campaign she became
dissatisfied and turned to the
Democratic fold. With back
ground of education, travel, busi-
ness acumen, wealth, and unusual
flare for personal and social con-
facts she has become the greatest
single money raiser for her party
campaigns and the most publicized
hostess in Washington. She is
now our first Ambassador to the
Duchy of Luxembourg.
Miss Margaret Truman was the
last person discussed, with a SYM
pathetic portrayal of her whole
some personality and attempt to
live a normal life under tremen-
dous pressures.
Mrs. Norman Jones with her
violin and her three daughters,
Chere, Norma, and Sue, and Mrs.
Harold Welsh as accompanist, de-
lighted everyone with an arrange
ment of songs related to our ma
tional history, written and popul-
arly sung in times of military
crises. They were Onward to
Victory" and yankee Doodle of
the American Revolutionary per-
iod: "Star Spangled Banner" from
the War 1872; Tramp, Tramp,
Tramp, The Boys are Marching
and THE Battle Hymn of the Re-

There" Yankee Doodle Boy
and Grand Old Flag" from World
War One; MY Buddy" THE
Army Air Corps" and "A Wing
and a Prayer" from World War
II and God Bless America"

Hundreds of Contracts
Only 10 Strikes For
Paper Makers In 1850

Albany, N. Y. (LPA)-The In
ternational Brotherhood of Paper
Makers-AFL had to call only 10
strikes in 1850 although it signed
333 contracts in regular negotia-
tions and re-opened most of them
for secon d-round cost-of living
raises.
Union research director Bart
Tidland said the combined wage
increases amounted to $18 million
for $4,000 paper makers. In addi-
ton, every agreement provided for
paid vacations and all but two call
ed for paid holidays.
Tidland noted that the union has
been cited twice by the National
Planning Association in case stud
les of industrial peace. One was the
record of relations with Pacific
Coast mills which haven't had a
strike or lockout in II years. The
other was the record with the
Marathon Corp. of Wisconsin,
which hasn't had labor trouble for
13 years.

|Armour Profits
Increase 3OOOoo

Chicago (LPA)-Armour & Co.
increased profits 5000 percent over
1949. For the fiscal year ended Oct.
%, 1850, its profits were $19,03S,-
787. For the same period in 1949
the profits were $558,189.
And the tremendous leap in pro-
fits came on a relatively small in
crease in sales. Sales in 1949 were
$1,848,2 ,280,443; in 1850 they were
$1,859, ,827,683. The increase was
only $11,547,240.
Armour made more on non-food
operations than on food operations,
although the general public thinks
of Armour chiefly as a maker and
seller of meat and meat products.
Food operations accounted for ST.
911, ,349 of the earnings. But the
non-food operations accounted for
$11, 1,127,438. The non-food opera
tions include chemicals, soaps, alb
rasives, curled hair, adhesives
pharmaceuticals, fertilizer, leather,
and wool.

well as retail prices.
Representatives of the women's

all price freeze at once, despite the
fact that a 30-day price freeze,
urged by Price Stabilizer Michael
V. Disable, had been turned down
by Alan Valentine, Economic Sta
bilization Agency head. Disable

Meanwhile the Fedora Reserve
Board extended restrictions on real
estate credit, rubber, and some

Maker of Excuses
And Textiles
Raped By NLRB

Morristown, Tenn. (LPA) - A
National Labor Relations Boar
examiner has directed the Belding
Hemingway Co. here to open it!
books to the Textile Workers anC
to stop stalling negotiations.
The company, New York out
fit with factories in Connecticut
Virginia, and Tennessee, is a man
ufacturer and jobber Of thread anc
fabric. Its executive vice-president
H. A. Johnston, is also manufac
turer Of excuses when it come
time to sit down and bargain col
lectively.
At one Of the first company
union meetings two years ago, ht
snorted that the contract proposed
by TWUA was "the most ridiculous
document ! have ever seen" John.
ston also said that workloads were
"entirely a matter for the com.
pany to determine"
After months of haphazard meet
ings he broke one off in New York
after TWUA representative flew
there TO meet him because he chad
only 20 minutes to make train.
When meeting was suggested
for the following day Johnston de-
clined because be chad an appoint
ment to play golf with a friend"
Grant Williams, TWUA repre-
sentative, complained he had made
a special trip for the meetings, and
was told Johnston might meet with
him in the next two weeks if he
could get his work cleaned up be-
fore sailing for Europe.
Trial Examiner David London
characterized all this as alag
rant violation of the Taft Hartley
act" He said it wasn't necessary
to bargain day after day without
interruption, but the "stalling and
dilatory manner" used by Johnston
was certainly not acting in good
faith.
London noted that "there is no
more subtle, yet effective manner
by which an employer can engend-
er distrust and foment dissatis-
faction among employees" than by
making their bargaining repre-
sentatives ineffective.
The examiner said the company
failed in its duty and also "recom-
mended" the company furnish the
union with information as to the
hourly rates of pay in all classifi-
cations within the bargaining unit"
in order to help TWUA in bargain
ing sessions.

Anti-Red Journalists To
Discuss World Federation

Brussels (LPA) = An explora-
tory conference looking to forma-
tion of new anti-Communist in
ternational organization of the
worlds journalist unions will be
held here Jan. 26-27. Harry Mar
tin, president Of the American
Newspaper Guild, will represent
the Guild. He has been working for
year to have such a conference
held in Europe.
At the request of the 1949 ANG
convention, the International Con-
federation of Free Trade Unions,
with headquarters here, asked its
constituent national labor organ
izations to invite member unions of
journalists to this exploratory ses-
sion. Internal problems in several
of the leading national groups
caused delay in accepting, and only
now has j. H. Oldenbroek, ICFTU
general secretary, been able to set
a date for the meeting.
Journalists unions of Britain.
France, Austria, Belgium, Ger
many, and Italy have accepted the
invitation, along with the American
Newspaper Guild. Among other
groups expected in the Nordic
Journalists Union Cd e m k,
Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland)
The invitation explains the ses-
sions will be exploratory, and that
participation will not commit any
organization.
All but representatives of COM
muniSt and satellite nations have
withdrawn from the International
Organization of Journalists, leav-
ing the IOJ merely the creature of
a handful of connie groups where
the press is state controlled.
The need for international CO.
operation to promote the cause of
free press, speech and association
through the United Nations and
subsidiary bodies helped stimulate
plans for the exploratory meeting.

Green Halls Role
In Fight Against
Discrimination

Detroit (LPA) - Only whel
labor's own conscience is clear, cal
it do full justice to it's role in th'
fight against discrimination. All
President William Green so declar
ed on Jan. 13 before the institute
on Civil Rights & Race Relations
of the Detroit & Wayne Count!
Federation of Labor.
"To the extent that it winks a
discrimination, or other types o.
social injustice, labor acts in viola
ton of its own moral principles anC
ethical Standards" Green said
owe cannot hope to succeed in oul
effort to educate the rest of the
people of America as to the evils
and fallacies of prejudice and dis.
elimination until our own members
are adequately educated on that
score. Institutes such as this per.
form a truly fundamental task in
that campaign.
Gone of the quickest ways to
split a group of workers down the
middle, and to set one worker
against another, is to permit a diff
ferential in wages for the same
job the basis of race. Another is to
allow race discrimination to be the
basis of job selection and promo
tion.
"The eradication of intolerance
in America is essential to our ma
tional safety and to the defense of
our free Institutions" Green de-
clared. "We cannot take for grant
ed the loyalty of all citizens to the
American heritage of freedom and
justice when freedom and justice
are denied and restricted to so
many millions of our citizens, sole
ly because of their color or their
religion"

"The present position of the Am

command and its lavishly paid
propaganda ministers is utterly in
defensible. The ANA is extremely
vulnerable as the defender of mon

"The time has come to smash the
monopoly stranglehold on the Am

ANA group now has. The time has
come for the American people to
launch a powerful counter-offensive
against the ANA bosses whose real
motive, which they desperately seek
to conceal, is opportunity for colos-
sal enrichment of doctors at the
expense of the public"

Business Profits
Finance US Reds
Magazine Declares

New York (LPA)-It seems that
not Moscow gold, but profits from
good old-fashioned capitalistic en-
terprises in the US finance the
underground operations of the
Communist Party.
So declares an article in the Jan.
% issue Of the magazine The Re-
porter, written by Claire Neikind,
on data supplied by former high
CP official. She says that bust
|nesses now or formerly run for the
benefit Of the party are: A doll
factory, sponge company, a
shoulder-pad company, paint fac
tory, tool and die plant, string
Of export-import houses, real estate
agencies, stationary and supply
stores, photographers, steel process
ing plant, printers, record COM
pany, a national string of book
shops and night clubs. She says
that 81 summer camps are financed
either directly by the party or
guaranteed a full house in ex-
change for cut of the profits"
The man behind the set-up, ac-
cording to the article, is Robert
William Weiner, born in Russia as
Welwel Warsower, who entered the
US from France in 1914. He was
convicted with Earl Browdor in
1910 Of passport frauds and order
ed deported, has never been inter-
ned, has not served his two-year
jail term because he has a bad
heart, and now cannot be deported.
Russia won't take him, and neither
will France.
Wiener replied that the article
was very flattering but is not true,
and that he has had nothing to do
with Communist Party finances
since 1910.

US Workers Seek
Pay Increase And
True Overtime

Washington UPA)-The Gov
eminent Employees Council-AFL
with half a million members in "a
participating AFL unions, has
opened drive for a six point legis-
lative program including a II per-
cent pay raise on the first $4,000 in
salary and time and half for over
time.
The National Federation Of Fed
eral Employees, an Independent or
ganization with $4,000 members,
has also endorsed the establishment
Of "true overtime" for government
Iemployes. At present, overtime
payments are limited by various
gimmicks, including one which al
lows overtime on only a portion of
regular wages.
The program Of the AFL Gov
ernment Employees Council got off
to fast start Jan. II when Sen.
Olin d. Johnston Cd, S. c. intro
duced bills in the Senate covering
both overtime and pay increases.
Additional legislation will be
sought to increase retirement bene-
fits for dependents Of workers who
have been employed by the US for
only short term. As it now stands,
Civil Service collects percent,
compared to the 112 percent taken
by Social Security, yet survivors of
"short term" employees get much
more under SIS.
The AFL group also wants pass
age Of a Little Wagner act so that
union agents can talk to Federal
supervisors and department heads.
1t is also asking repeal Of two
Postmaster General orders-one
makes lower-paid mail handlers do
the work Of postal clerks, the other
is the familiar order cutting home
deliveries to one-a-day.
The final piece Of legislation
sought would give postal employees
the same leave privileges as other
government workers-26 days Of
annual leave and Is days of sick
leave. They now get only 10 days
annual leave.
The following officers of the
Gee were reelected: Leo f.
