Steel Workers’ Delegates
Organize Council for
Drive in East.
By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, December 21.—A
new organization of steel workers—
the Committee for Industrial Organi
sation’s Representatives Council
sounded the rallying cry "The com
pany union must be put out of busi
ness” in the mills of the East today.
Cheering and whistling, 244 men,
claiming to represent 290,000 work
men in 42 mills east of Cleveland,
organized the new group and de
clared:
"The company union Is a farce, a
■ham, an insult to the Intelligence of
steel workers and a Rip Van Winkle
form of collective bargaining where
the company union representatives
try to bargain and the management
actually does the collecting."
Pledge Full Support to Drive.
All delegates to the organization
meeting identified themselves as em
ploye representatives and pledged full
support to the drive to enlist the Na
tion’s 500,000 steel workers In one big
union—the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers.
They heard Phillip Murray, chair
man of the Committee for Industrial
Organization, sound the keynote of
their meeting—attacking company
unions—and declare that “almost
128,000 steel plant employes have
joined the union.”
Murray added that over 50 per
cent of the 3,000 company repre
sentatives in the Nation’s mills “not
only are members of the union, but
are co-operating In the unionization
drive. * * • ” ’
Delegates to the meeting yesterday
also laid the framework for a national
convention of steel men in Pittsburgh
next Spring "to formulate a wage
policy and make demands upon the
•teel industry for recognition of the
Amalgamated.”
They called for $5-a-day minimum
wage for all labor, and $1.25-a-day
Increase for employes receiving more
than $5; a 30-hour, 5-day week; paid
vacations after two years’ service;
time-and-a-half for overtime and
double-time for Sunday and holiday
work.
UNION WANTS TO NEGOTIATE.
Auto Workers’ Heads Reiterate Will
ingness to Talk.
DETROIT. December 21 UP).—The
United Automobile Workers of Amer
ica today reiterated its willingness to
negotiate differences with the Kel
sey-Hayes Co., which resulted in a
“sit-down" strike at its two Detroit
plants.
Richard T. Frankenstein, union
organizer, and Walter Reuther, pres
ident of the West Side local, said
they expected a prompt reply from
the management, which has declined
heretofore to meet with union rep
resentatives as long as the idle work
ers remained in the plants.
Reuther said he sent the following
message to George Kennedy, presi
dent of Kelsey-Hayes:
“A refusal on your part to negoti
ate reasonable demands has created
a situation affecting thousands of
workers. We were willing and still
are willing to negotiate. Your refusal
to negotiate throws the whole re
sponsibility for the idleness of thou
sands of automobile workers entirely
upon you.”
The Kelsey Wheel Co.. Canadian
affiliate which has a plant at Wind
sor, Ontario, operated on a skeleton
basis. The unicn said 140 of Its 175
employes failed to return after a brief
strike there. The Detroit and Wind
sor plants manufacture automobile
wheels.
The lemon tree is said to be a na
tive of Northwestern India.
Policeman’s Rain Diverter
Pvt. John L. Billman of 5802 Eighth street, for JO years a
member of the metropolitan police force, holds the rubber eave
he invented two years ago to keep his sleeve dry and which
now promises to make him rich.. Billman will retire January
1 and live on his pension and royalties. The rain-diverter is
fitted to the top of the car door, and water rolling off the roof
is carried off so that it will not run down on the driver. Billman
perfected the eave after repeated wetting two years ago when
he was driving a police scout car. —Star Staff Photo.
