Redlands Scribe Makes
Belated Report To Trade
Of Conditions On Coast
Redlands, Calif.—No doubt the sanitary locals all over the trade
are wandering just what happened out here on Feb. 21st, pertaining to
statements made at the New York Conference.
It is most unfortunate that this scribe cannot give the trade a full
and complete picture of the entire situation which brought about the
position we now occupy. In doing so, I would in my opinion, do a great
injustice to one of the finest, honorable, and most capable men ever to
be connected with the pottery industry. This he exemplified while here
in his across-the-board dealings with this local.
As such you realize my position in giving you the full details. Let’s
’sum it up this way: “When a dog
:bites a man, it’s
when a man bites
that’s news.”
not news, but
a dog, brother
of course was
wages existing
The main issue
the differential in
between our plant and the New
Castle plant. By every comparison
conceiveable we felt and still feel
that these inequities should be cor
rected.
The company proposed job evalu
ation as a means of determining
the differentials, with the union
having nothing to do with the
evaluating of jobs.
After waiting many months the
evaluation was finally completed
and presented to the union. After
a thorough examination by the
Standing Committee, Second Vice
President Frank Hull and Organiz
er George Pace, it was presented
to the union with a recommenda
tion of rejection by the committee
due to the fact, that instead of cor
recting the inequities it cut the job
rate in the shipping department
and all new men coming in.
The committee and the members
voted the job evaluation ‘out the
window’, because we felt this was
not the time to consent to the
cutting of any wage or department
rate. 7'
At the same meeting which was
we countered with a proposal of a
piece rate or the New Castle wage
rates. Otherwise, as of that date
we were serving sixty-days notice
of intention to cease work. The
above action was by a unanimous
vote.
With approximately a week to
go prior to the dead line of Febru
ary 21, we were called in meeting
with the Commissioner of Labor
and company representatives.
There it was ruled that according
to appendix “A” and “B” which
was attached to and made a part
of our agreement on the 17th day
of June, 1948, calling for the job
evaluation and certain increases in
wages, subject to adjustment at
the completion of the evaluation,
we would be in violation according
to the Taft-Hartley law if we
stopped work.
We as a body have no complaint
to make for we feel as many
others do we are not able to in
terpet the Taft-Hartley law. And
let me assure the trade our na
tional officers done a grand job.
And one thing we are proud of
—our members as a whole were
willing and ready to hit the grass.

In a strong editorial the AMA
Journal came to the support of
NPC last week without a word of
apology for the way that organiza
tion has used racial hatred and at
tempted bribery of the press in
fighting national health insurance.
In fact, the AMA editorial charged
the NPC had been “subjected to
vilification and abuse” mid indicat
ed it had been without justification.
There has always been a close
link between the AMA and the
NPC, although in the past the
AMA has not bragged about it
publicly. But the NPC has served
as the lobby front for the AMA,
and its policies have been fixed by
a board of directors dominated by
AMA leaders.
Early this year, however, when
the NPC aroused a storm of critic
ism by playing up racial prejudice
Kennecott Copper
Wants To Rat On
Square Deal Rule
Phoenix (LPA)—The Kennecott
Copper Corp, is trying to get out
of its no racial discrimination con
tract with A FL locals in its Ray
Hayden-Sonora mines near Phoe
nix, Ariz., the unions revealed last
week.
All too familiar with Kennecott’s
discrimination against workers of
Mexican origin, the two AFL metal
locals which represent Kennecott’s
Arizona miners wrote a non-dis
crimination clause into their cur
rent contract with the company.
When Kennecott violated its the
locals carried the case to arbitra
tion, and scored. Now the company
is proposing to change the rules,
and wipe out the no discrimination
clause.
The unions have answered with
a firm “no.”
The no discrimination clause
provides for seniority within each
.oeeupation group in the mines,
thereby preventing the company

Week/y Earnings
Remain Stable1
Washington, D, C. (ILNS).
Weekly earnings of the more than
12 million production workers in
manufacturing plants averaged
$54.25 in mid-February. This figure
was virtually unchanged from the
levels reached in the fall of last
year. These preliminary estimates
were made available by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor.
In February gross hourly earn
ings advanced slightly from the
last September figure to a little
over $1.37.
A moderate decline in the length
of the workweek, reflecting some
slackening in a number of producer
and consumer
has served to
earnings gain.

American Medical Association Back At
Old Stand With Caveman-Mind Allies
Washington (LPA)—The Amer
ican Medical Ass’n. is once more
holding hands with the organiza
tion that’s been proven anti-Sem
itic and which has consistently re
presented the moist backward soc
ial views in the medical profession
in this country—the Nat’l Physic
ians Committee. They’ve again
joined hands to fight the labor-sup
ported national health insurance
legislation.
in its campaign against the Pres
ident’s health program the AMA
was forced to take cover. It con
tended it had nothing to do with
the issuance by the NPC of a letter
to ministers addressed “Dear
Christian American’’ and signed by
a notorious character known as
“Dan Gilbert”.
This temporary maneuver was
obviously just a cover-up, however,
to save the AMA’s fund raising
drive. The Dan Gilbert letter had
aroused such resentment among
AMA members that they were re
fusing to pay their $25 assessments
into the AMA’s $3,500,000 lobby
fund. By mildly disassociating it
self from the Gilbert letter and by
putting on pressure against its
members, the AMA has apparently
succeeded in collecting most of its
assessments.
In fact, in its current editorial
coming to the rescue of the NPC,
the AMA reports that “the medical
profession has responded whole
heartedly” to the assessment drive,
and “already enough funds are in
hand to meet the budget of the
first year.”
Out of danger itself, the AMA
thus has decided it is time to help
the NPC, which has been having

Rose Schneiderman
Long Active Labot
Leader To Retire
New York (LPA)—Rose Schne
iderman, whose name is almost
synonymous with the New York
Women’s Trade Union League, an
nounced last week that she is re
tiring, after 46 years devoted tc
organized labor, to read a lot of
books, see a lot of plays, and to let
the younger women carry on.
The diminutive, fiery red-head,
who was known by every cop who
watched the picket lines of the
historic 1910 and 1916 garmet
trades strikes in New York, was
just as familiar a figure in the
homes of the wealthy women from
whom she extracted the money for
milk and clothes for strikers’
children.
Miss Schneiderman, 65 years old
last week, announced that her suc
cessor in the WTUL will be Mrs.
Gerel Rubien, educational director
of Local 62 of the Int’l Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union.
Highlights of her varied career,
as she recalled them on her birth
day, include these:
She helped organize her own
branch of the hatters’ union in
1905, and took an active part in the
fight on the open shop in the in
dustry.
In 1910, she was one of the
active workers for the 30,000 shirt
waist makers, most of them young
immigrant girls, who struck for
living wages and humane working
conditions in New York factories.
She divided her time between the
picket lines and greeting girls as
they came out of jail, and beseig
ing wealthy women with social
consciences for help. New York re
porters and cops $till remember
the “mink coat picket line” she or
ganized, including Miss Ann Morg
an, Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, and
Mrs. J. Borden Harrimai ^._
In 1917, she headed the indus
trial section of the New York City
campaign for woman’s suffrage,
making her share of soapbox
speeches.
The next year, she became pres
ident of the New York Women’s
Trade Union League, holding the
post continuously until this year.
In the post-World War I years,
she twice visited Europe, once as
a member of the US mission to the
Paris peace conference, $nd again
as a delegate to the International
Congress of Working Women, held
in Vienna.

Packinghouse Local Union No. 186
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen of North
America has signed a union label
agreement with the North Coast
Chemical and Soap Works, Seattle,
Wash. This firm does business in
the 11 Western States.
Charles J. Mentrin, vice pres
ident of the Washington State Fed
eration of Butchers, and business
representative of the local union,
issued an announcement to union
men and women who use these pro
ducts in their work. In part, he
said:
“For upward of two decades this
corporation, which sells its pro
ducts for industrial and institution
al use, has maintained a friendly
union plant. This firm deserves
your patronage. Look for the Am

Hartford, Conn. (ILNS). For

an 11-year peak in Connecticut un
employment.
The State Labor Department re
ported that new claims stood at a
7,888 total, as compared with 6,919
for the previous week. Such claims
have averaged about 7,000 a week
since the first of the year, the de

An appropriate letter was writ
ten explaining in detail our reyon
■for protesting. The seal of thd^BUa!
was put on it and it was sent to
our congressman in Washington.
This plant located in the town
of Vega Bega in Puerto Rico is
modem in every respect, being
equipped with all the latest mech
anical devices known to the pottery
industry.
The type of ware being made is
hotel china and the rate of pay for
employees is about 30-cents per
hour. Compare these wages to
those being paid the American
potter. The clay used is shipped
from England and is much cheap
er than clays coming from Amer
ica.
As far as can be learned, most
of the money for building this
plant comes from the Puerto Rican
Development Co. which is financed
from taxes paid by the citizens of
the United States. The man in
charge of operating the plant
comes from Syracuse, N. Y. Dur
ing the war natives of Puerto Rico
were brought to Syracuse to work
at the Iroquois China and they
proved very capable workers. They
are probably being used now as
key men in the new plant.
The situation that now confronts
the American potter differs from
ware coming from foreign coun
tries who have to pay a certain
amount of tariff to bring ware into
this country. Puerto Rico is an
American possession, and as such,
can ship their product to our
shores duty free, and undersell our
American product by about fifty
per cent. If they can do this with
one pottery making china there is
nothing to stop them as yet, from
starting up other plants that could
make dinner ware, sanitary or any
other clay product.
Therefore, the help of all
branches of the American pottery
industry is needed in striking out
this menace to our American way
of living. We have used the peti
tion form in sending in our protest,
because we believe it the surest
way of having the name and ad
dress of every worker in the plant.
The pottery industry in this
country is not in a very healthy
condition just now and we believe
it the duty of every member of
the National Brotherhood of Oper
ative Patters to register a vigor
ous protest by the only method
available at present, by sending a
petition to your congressman.
George Garner, caster, who has
been with Buffalo Pottery over 40
years has been compelled to retire
because of ill health.
Joe Sapp, packer from Grafton,
W. Va. has gone back home. This
local is very anxious that he get in
touch with No. 76 for reasons that
he knows best.

tell
A lot of people are trying to
us that the Taft-Hartley Act isn’t
really as bad as we have been led
to believe. They say it won’t really
do workihg people much harm.*?
Well, let’s take the boycott and
the unfair list, for example. Any
old timer will tell you those are
two of the most useful weapons
working people have had in their
fight for justice and dignity. Now
start thinking about where unions
will be in a few years if the Taft
Hartley Act stays on the book.
Under the Taft-Hartley Act all
secondary boycotts are illegal and
so are many unfair lists.
The Taft-Hartley Act allows any
employer to farm out his work to a
neighboring firm the moment a
strike begins. The employer is
absolutely free to seek economic
aid and assistance from a fellow
employer. But the Taft-Hartley
Act makes it illegal for the em
ployees in that neighboring firm to
refush to accept struck work.
It doesn’t matter if both shops
are organized in the same inter
national union or the same local
union, refusal to accept struck
work is still a secondary boycott
and as such it is illegal under the
Taft-Hartley Act.
In Grand Rapids, Mich., the
Building Trades Council has been
ordered to take the name of one
contractor off its unfair list even
though that contractor still refuses
to negotiate a standard contract.
The Labor Board has decided
three recent cases on this import
ant issue, and in all three the
unions have lost out under the
Taft-Hartley Act. In one of these
decisions, Paul Herzog, chairman
of the Labor Board summed up
the situation this way:
“It seems clear to me that the
80th Congress (through the Taft
Hartley Act) was attempting to
deal a death blow to secondary boy
cotts, whether for economic or for
other objectives, and desired to use
all the power at its command to
eliminate them for the American
industrial scene. Picketing and

POWER PROGRAM
HAILED BY LLPE
Washington (LPA)—Passage by
the House of Representatives of a
comprehensive public power pro
gram was “the most important
single act of the 81st Congress so
far,” League Reporter, publication
of AFL’s political arm, declared
this week.
The program, recommended by
President Truman, provides for the
construction of dams, transmission
lines, waterway and reclamation
projects in Wyoming, Colorado,
South Dakota, North Dakota, Mon
tana, Nebraska, Kansas, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon. It is one
of the measures squashed last year
by the 80th Congress.
“This bill when passed by the
Senate,” said the Reporter, “will
enrich the lives of millions of Am
ericans yet unborn. It is as import
ant as the Thomas Jefferson Louis
iana Purchase.”

FCC has been requiring AT&T

Urges House And Senate Agree On Bill
Protecting Workers From Rent Boosts
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).
As Senate and House conferees
met to work out a rent control bill
on which both houses could agree,
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor
urged passage of an effective bill
which has “a chance of protecting
the workers against arbitrary rent
increases and premature decon
trol.”
“The American Federation of
Labor is deeply disappointed with
the character of the rent control
bill” passed by the Senate March
23, Green wrote Chairmen May
bank and Spence of the Senate and
House Banking and Currency Com
mittees.
“Although in several respects
the Senate bill represents an im
provement over the existing law,
its overall effect, particularly the
so-called ‘local option’ decontrol
and automatic increase provisions,
will be to bring higher rents and
accelerated decontrol,” Green
charged. He added that he felt
strongly “that while the housing
shortage continues, this nation can
ill afford to take chances with a
weak rent control law.”.
Green urged the conference com
mittee to back a bill “which will
assure the people the most effec
tive rent control program possible.”
He transmitted a brief comparison i
of the House and Senate bills and
said AFL preferences regarding
the differences between the two
bills could be summarized as fol
lows: 7
1. Local Option.—The Senate
bill, because it requires the ap
proval of the governor for decon
trol of local areas. 1
2. Duration of o n o 1.—The
House bill for a straight 15-month
period.
