CIO ASKS HIGHER WAGE RATES FOR TV A'S WORKMEN 2-Day Conference Meets With Personnel Division Of Authority On Friday and Saturday, November 12 and 13, the CIO Unions in the TVA met in conference with the TVA Personnel Division. Representing the CIO Unions at the conference were Ernest Ivey and Paul Lyndon of Hiivasee Dam Local 40; Stanley Campbell, John Taylor, and Neal Powell ^f Chickamauga Dam; and Burton Zien, Field Representative for the CIO in the Tennessee Valley. This delegation presented a 20sage brief to the TVA, requesting :onsideration for raises in pay for common labor, concrete puddlers, mckdrivers, powdermen, flagmen, ackhammer and wagon drillers, labor foremen, helpers, pump and air comressor operators. bulldozer #lrivn?-? ind other unskilled and semi-skilled vorkmen on t TV A dams. They also presented additional recommendations or modification in certain conditions ?f work. The brief presented, recommende<l ;n increase in the base rate, that is lie rate paid to unskilled labor, from 15 cents to 55 cents on the hour, with >roportionate increases for the other inskilled and semi-skilled workmenThe CIO brief points out that such aiscs are justified on the basis that: 1. The wages prevailing in many >f the lending industries in Tennessee md surrounding states for unskilled ind semi-skilled workmen are higher han that paid in TVA. 2. The wages naid for data construction work must be higher than ;he wago3 paid for ordinary ou'Min * construction in ur'xr area?.

As it is the policy of the TVA to be a yardstick in Power; so it is necessary that IVA be a model employer, formulating a yardstick for labor policy? proving that liveable wages and low cost of construction can exist side by side on the same job. 4. The cost of living between the years of 1933 and 1937 has risen tibout 217 per cent throughout the United Sates. Coal, rents, eggs, and meat?that which the working man needs most of?has increased in price, in even greater percentages. 5.

J The program has two main objec- ? lives: to raise farm income by stabi- i lizing prdouction, and to build up and conserve the soil so as to provide foe s the future welfare of both growers 1 and consumers, he stated. 1 It has been pointed out that when 1 crops are over-produced, surpluses 3 rile up and farm income goes down, i Far mors are unable to buy as much as formerly, and business in general ? slacks off. i Unemployment in cities that xnevit- c ably accompanies business depressions c means less city consumer buying pow- 2 er for farm products, and prices re- i : t? >n't Miss It ijrif ctrrJoTf Wft- FnyPpT " v ^ Lver Published Here. at [ 1.50 YEAR?5c COPY FILM IS BEING SHOWN FREE AT HENN TIUS WEEK Over 300 Attend First Session of Interesting Film Wednesday Marked by an attendance of more than 300 women, the first session of the Cherokee Scout's cooking school was held at the Henn Theatre Wtxiqfsday morning.

Under the pinch of low income^ farmers in the past have been forced to overcrop their soil by keeping cveiy possible acre in cash crops in a * jtifc* effort to make enough to meet negt*? Ob the other hand, when farm prices have gone extremely high, farmers were induced to plant aff the rash crops they could to take advantage of the high prices. ATI this has increased the speed of? roil exhaustion and erosion, until mi'ions oi acres oi once fertil land lave been run down and abandoned. Other millions of acres, though not ,ret abandoned, are not producing profitable crops. The conservation program is designed to avert these troubles by stabdianfr agriculture so as to keep farm income at a fair level, encourage soif:onservation, and assure consumer* in adequate supply of farm product* it a fair price.
