has ga housing shortage worse than
at any time in World War H."
Knox said workers flocking to
aircraft plants were sleeping in
cars, that landlords wouldn't rent
apartments to people with children
under 800 a month, and that many
workers were leaving their jobs
because of the shortage.
There has been talk of lifting
on private construction
in such areas as San Diego in an
effort to supply housing. This ac-
tion may be necessary because the
national credit curbs set up by the
Federal Reserve Board last sum-
mer with the aim of cutting new
to S50,000 units in
1851 may be backfiring.
When the goal was set it did not
take into account action by the
n a tt ional Production Authority
which clamped down on copper, tin,
and zinc. Combined eff
feet apparently will cut new units
below the $4,000 total. Another
question: does the $780,
lC0 units include defense housing?

PROPOSAL MADE TO HELP
MIGRANT FARM WORKERS

San Francisco (LPA)-The long,
bitter fight to better conditions for
California's migrant farm workers
has advanced another step with
the publication of recommendations
of the Governors Committee to
Survey the Agricultural Labor Re-
sources of the San Joaquin Valley.
Labor members of the 15-man
group were c. j. Haggerty, secre-
tary of the California State FEEDER
alton of Labor, and Chet Cary, Sec
retary, Fresno Federated Trades
and Labor Council-AFL.
They joined in recommending
control of the notorious labor con-
tractor system, increased supervis-
ion of labor camps, special state
aid to children, stricter enforce
ment of child labor laws, and a
planned system of medical care for
the workers on a statewide basis.

Meat Workers Play Roles In Film
TELLING Unions CoIorfuI History

Chicago lLNS).-The Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen has released one of the
longest and most carefully planned
motion pictures ever produced by a
labor union. The film, 16mm size
is in technicolor and runs for 81
minutes.
President Earl w. Emerson and
Secretary Treasurer Patrick E.
German of the Amalgamated, in
announcing the movie" said that
it took "a years work of writing,
photography and editing to com
plete the picture"
Describing the film, they said:
Scenes were taken from Cali
fornia to New York. There are no
professional actors in the picture.
Members of the union are shown at
work, in union meetings, in con-
tract negotiations, on strike and at
play"
Narration accompanying the pic
ture gives an account Of the work,
union activities, home life and rec
reation hours of "Bill Smith," who
represents meat cutters, workers
in packing houses, poultry plants
and canneries, oyster shuckers,
sheep shearers and other workers
in the complex industry over which
the organization has jurisdiction.
The Amalgamated has a color
full history, and this is told from
its founding by handful Of men in
1897 through several bitter strikes,
until its growth into its present
strength of 100000 members.
The "movie" reviews gains in
wages and other improved working
and presents scenes to
SHOW the more recent advances in
securing health and welfare bene-
fits for members and their fam
lies" the announcement by Jimer-
son and German pointed cut.

eral, is in no way related to Sen
ator Taft
4. A serious problem" has beer
the exclusion and expulsion Of
communists and their sympathizer:
from membership and officership il
many trade unions. Professor Taft
held that expelling persons from
union membership merely for hold.
ing communist views or sympathies
or mere membership is going toe
far, although "the denial to com
munists and sympathizers of the
right to hold office in unions poses
a more difficult issue"
5. On the question of closed
unions, Professor Taft indicated
that the TIL law had had some eff
feet although "it must be recogniz-
ed, of course, that some closed
unions are the result of economic
necessity rather than the product
of racketeering or the desire to
enrich the union treasury.
6. "a limited inspection of the
problems arising out of disciplinary
actions taken by trade unions re-
veals that there are fewer instances
of abuse than might be imagined
from the wide publicity given those
instances where due process has
apparently. been Denied" the re-
port asserted.
This is not to say that
abuses and violations of due pro-
cess have not occurred. Such an as
sumption is unwarranted in the
light of our knowledge of people in
general and union officers in par
ticular. But there would appear to
be no evidence that abuses are so
common or widespread as to war
rant an extensive investigation.
at might be added here that the
rights of members in a labor union
cannot be as broad as the rights of
citizens in the community at large.
Not only does trade union member
ship involve limited groups of wage
earners addressing themselves to
particular problems and for speci-
fic purposes but, because of the ma
ture of the conflict between en-
ployers and trade unions, the latter
must often require stricter dis
cipline than the community as a
whole may ordinarily apply to
citizens in general"
6. Examination of union consti-
tutions to evaluate the rights of
union members today would be un-
profitable since such documents
seldom express the realities of
political life within labor organ
cation"

This meeting was August 3. The
company refused union proposals,
said it would have some Of its own
by December 6, four months later.
Actually it submitted the counter
proposals in March 1850. There
was a two-week strike by the IUE
at the plant during this period and
Levin claimed the strike, plus the
Korean war, put him in a bad fin
ancial position and there were Eek
tenuating circumstances" W h c h
kept him from dealing with the
AFL Office Employees Union.
In July 1850, 13 months after
the court order, a mutual agree
ment was reached, but Levin kept
refusing a meeting to sign, al
though the NLRB's attorney said
it was "just a question Of taking
out a pen and signing a paper"
The contract was finally signed in
December 1850, less than a month
before the two officers were hauled
before the court and fined, and al
most 212 years after the union was
certified.
Circuit Judges Albert B. Maris,
William H. Hastie and Chief Judge
John Biggs, Jr. Of the US Court
of Appeals for the Third Circuit
heard the case. In handing down
the decision, Judge Biggs told
Heilwell he was being let off light
ly because he "was under the dom
ination of his father-in-law."
The judges said they considered
the actions of Levin and Heilwell
deliberate flouting of the law"
told the two men that "they were
extremely fortunate" that they
were merely being fined and warn
ed that if they come before the
court again punishment will not
be a fine"

First Criminal Contempt For
NLRB Violation Brings Big Fine

Philadelphia (LPA)-Two corp
oration officers here have beer
fined a total Of $l1OO in the first
case Of criminal contempt Of &
court order enforcing a ruling Of
the National Labor r Relations
Board.
A. S. Levin, president of the Star
Metal Mfg. Co., was fined $1,000
and his son-in-law, Jerome P. He'll
well, yice-president, 800. The COM
pany must pay court costs.
The officers admitted being
guilty Of both criminal and civil
contempt and asked for leniency, a
far different attitude than they
took toward the organizing efforts
of Local IA, AFL Office Employees
Union. They never pleaded with the
union; most Of the time they
wouldn't even meet.
After an organizing drive, Local
IA was certified as bargaining
agent for Stars clerical employees
by the NLRB in July 1948. After
two fruitleSs months, the union
filed refusal-to-bargain c h arg e 5
against the company, under the
Taft Hartley act. An NLRB trial
examiner found the company guilty
in January 1949, and the full
NLRB confirmed his opinion in
February and directed the company
to bargain with the union.
Four months later NLRB got a
court order to enforce its stand.
In August the company still refus-
ed to meet the union until NLRB
stepped in and said it would in
Itiate contempt proceedings unless
4 meeting was held.
AT the meeting the company
spent its time (1) saying the union
didn't represent its employees; ~.
asking who were union members; ;;
(3) stating it was 'fed up with
Inions; (4) threatening to move it's
