LABOR VIEWS

weekly maximum equalled $50 OF
the average wage. Today it equals
only 4O%6 of the average wage. The
average worker today takes 500
cut in his standard of living when
he loses his job. This is unfair
mo one gets paid for not work
ing. Ohio law requires that a re-
cipient must be ACTIVELY SEEK

Local 497 held its regular month
ly membership meeting last Sun
day, with several important items
of business being discussed and
acted upon. Immediately after the
meeting Fred and Ann Hansen
showed films of our 1865 union
picnic which they had taken with
their movie camera. The films are
a real-life moving record of the
Picnic event, with scenes of chill
dren at play, grown-ups taking
part in games and dancing. Several
close-upS of Local 497 personalities
were in view, including picnic com
mittee workers busily operating
booths and games.
Rose Faber was not slighted in
the films. We caught a glimpse of
Bob Calm. Ann explained that she
told Bob it was a MOVING camera.
so he MOVED fast - right out Of
range Many members seemed com
pletely unaware of the camera. If
you remember how dark the day
of our picnic was, you will even
more appreciate the clearness of
the film. We wish to thank Fred

these fine films.
The Hansens also showed moving
pictures which they had taken on
their trip to Germany.

STEVE J. NovAK. PRES.
LOCAL. 4S7, UAW-cIo

During the next few weeks, you
are going to hear lot and read
a lot about the CLOS initiated pc
tition bill to increase the amount
of benefits allowed an unemployed
worker and his family.
Ohio law requires that the Sec
retary distribute arguments for
and against the bill to the states
registered voters when an issue is
put on the ballot by petition. Both
sides are limited to 800 words.
Here is the text of the statement
which we believe will help con
vince the voters of Ohio to approve
our proposal:
IF you vote YES it would mean;
81. A more humane law to allow
the unemployed (and their fam
ilies) to live in greater dignity and
decency while they search for
work.
.2. No NEW TAXES FOR YOU.
"3. A more stable economy dur
ing periods of layoffs because the
unemployed would be able to af-
ford the necessities of life. 1T
WOULD BE GOOD FOR BUSI-
NESS.
"a. Ohio would meet the recon-
mendation of President Eisenhower
in the economic message to Con-
gress this year when he said:
From the standpoint of the un-
employed worker, weekly bene-
fits should be sufficiently high to
provide the basic necessities
From the standpoint of the econ
omy, benefits should be suffi-
cient TO enable The unemployed
to maintain substantial part of
their customary expenditures,
thereby minimizing the spread of
unemployment.
THE GENEAL LEVEL OF
BENEFITS IS NOW TOO Low
FOR EITHER OF THESE PUR-
POSES.
TT is HIGHLY DESIRABLE
THAT THE STATES CHANGE
THEIR LAWS so that the great
majority of covered workers will
be eligible for payments that AT
LEAST EQUAL HALF THEIR
REGULAR EARNINGS
f'The State Legislature failed tc
meet the Presidents recommends
ton although Ohio EMPLOYERS car
afford higher benefits. Ohio EN-
powers paw onlv one-half the rate

PARTY BOAT MEN MUST
TAKE OUT LICENSE TOO
Is Fish Are Taken For Sale. Tax Must
Be Paid Same as Commercial
Fishermen

Morehead City.-Warning was
issued here recently by c. G. Hol-
land, Commissioner of Fisheries,
that party" boats and others
which are engaged in taking fish
for sale are subject to prosecu-
ton if they do not obtain CONNER
cial fishing licenses.
Commissioner Holland said that
boats using hand lines and rods
and reels are not normally subjec
to the commercial fishing regula-
tons. However, he added, when
their catch is sold in the open mar
kct in competition with properly
licensed comm 2rcial fishermen,
they must pay the boat tax or be
subject to prosecution. He cited
Chapter 1134 of the Public Laws
of. 1858, passed by the GeneI al
Assembly, which exempted citizens
who take products of the sea for
person or family use from taxation.
However, the same section which
contains the exemption provides:
eff any person shall sell or offer
for sale any such products without
having first procured license, he
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
and shall be fined not less than
$500 or imprisoned not exceeding
thirty days"
Holland said that the tax is SOC
per foot on boats 26 feet and under
and 75c per foot on boats over
that length, and licenses may be
procured from any of the Inspec-
tors of the Commercial Fisheries
Division.
Attention was called to the law
al this time, said Holland, because
of the large number of king mack
erel, red snapper, and trout which
are being landed by non-commer-
cial vessels and party" boats and
sold to various fish houses. The.
Attorney General of North Caro-
lima has ruled, said Holland, that
where fish are being sold, it is the
duty of the Commissioner of Com
mercial Fisheries to require pay
ment or to prosecute those who are
selling fish commercially. He en-
phasized that this does not effect
citizens who take these fish for
their own Or fanily's use.

BIG INCREASE IN
RETAIL TRADE IN
STATE is SHOWN
Dare Shown Far Ahead Of Neigh.
Dor Counties in Volume
of Sales.

Raleigh-Retail trade in North
Carolina in 1854 increased by al
most a billion dollars over what it
was in 1913, Director Ben E. Doug
las of the Department of Conser-
walton and Development reported
today.
The information, Douglas said,
came from the 1854 Census OF
Business, U. S. Department of
Commerce, and is contained in a
preliminary report on retail trade
in the counties of North Carolina,
1t is the first such study since the
1913 retail business census.
The total number of retail estab-
lishments in this State in 1854 was
3S,056 compared to 40,848 in 1913,
but total sales for concerns doing
more than $500 in retail business
annually was $3,230,610,000 in
1854 against $2,241, 100000 in
1913.
Preliminary figures for the num-
Der of establishments and total re-
tail sales in 1854 in the various
counties of the State follows
Beaufort: 432 and $28,332, 900;
Camden % and 100000; Curri-
tuck: 60 and $3,274,000; Dare: 12S
and $5,171,OOO; Hyde: 81 anc
S1,550,OO0; Martin: 214 and $751;
$4,000; Tyrrell: 46 and $1,920,000
Washington: 143 and $7,902, 900;
Editors Note: Apparently these
lists lack lot OF being complete
for most of us know that there are
more places of business in oul
county than is shown in the list
Returns are apparently not com
plete, and when given are ,appar
emily incomplete.
