Erwin Union Ratifies Contract
k) Members of Erwin Local
250, Textile Workers Os A
merica (CIO), in a meeting
yesterday afternoon at the
Erwin School, unanimously
ratified the new contract ne
gotiated with Erwin Mills. It
will go into effect today, it
was announced by Scott Hoy
man, CIO official.
X The oentract, was 'read to the in
w terestSM group and there was no
objection to its ratification from
the floor. Most of the members
present were enthusiastic over the
new seniority section.
The new provisions regarding
seniority are designed to give the
- workers many more rights in im
portant phases such as layoff and
recall, than those in any other
contract negotiated with Erwin
Mills, Hoyman said.
The new contract provides for
* the checkoff and the fringe bene
fits and wage rates established un
der the old contract remain un
changed. Other features of the
old contract, such as vacation pay,
and premium pay remain the same
as set up in the old contract.
The new contract has a wage
reopenin gclause so that adjust
ments of wages can be made at
any time while the contract is in
force without disturbing any of
the rest of the contract, Hoyman

The contract will run for A two

Former Presidents Roosevelt and

preferred Democrats, however, and
not conservative Democrats either.

Over the years of Democratic ad

Eisenhower Sets Speech Pate
Visitor States
News Leaks Are
Cause Os Auger
WASHINGTON (IP) Pre
sident Eisenhower is said to
be edgy and angry about
news leaks of his plans to
the press and radio. A recent
visitor described him as rag
ing because word of political
appointments had been ped
dled prematurely.
Raging is an extravagant word,
and Mr. Eisenhower's visitor may
have been overly impressed by
the President's displeasure. But
the emphasis on tight security
after the first Cabinet meeting
was a hint that Mr. Eisenhower
intends that the leaks shall be
plugged. It will be a job for a
master plumber.
Emerging from the new admin
istration’s No. T Cabinet huddle,
the Eisenhower team reacted to
questions with a startled silence
and an instant desire to depart by
the nearest exit. The Cabinet leak
long has been one of the purest,
sources of news hereabouts, al
though rarely occurring in the
White House lobby.
SLIPS MADE
It is sometimes after a secre
tary gets back to his department
that he may let some news slip to
a friendly reporter or to a trusted
aide who tells some one else, and
so on. A great deal of informa
tion reaches the newspapers that
way. If Mr. Eisenhower can im
pose the discipline and silence of’
a military staff on his political
associates, he will be the first
President in some time to achieve
it. The President does have some
disciplinary powers over his Cab
inet. A President so recently re
signed from a military career of
hlglr command may even be ,able
