The programs originate in the studio of Station KFWB in Los Angeles, but locals will spon sor the program in seven other metropolitan centers, it was an nounced by Charles J. MacGow an. international president. The proposal that the union embark upon this venture was submitted to the recent confer ence in Denver and, after thor ough discussion, was submitted to the union's executive board. Weekly broadcast schedules are: Los Angeles, KFWB, each Monday, 9:15 p. m.; Savannah, Ga.. WIOC, Wednesday. 10:15; Philadelphia. WIBG, Monday, 10:15; Houston. KXYZ. Wednes day. 7:15; Saa Francisco. KYA, Sunday, 7:15; Kansas City. Mo., KCMO, Monday, 7:15; Chicago, WCFL, Thursday. 9:15. and Portland. Ore., KALE, Saturday, 9:30. Time is standard in each case. Since these programs will have a range of only about 100 miles, the Brotherhood has ar ranged to have records made which will be shipped on request to other local lodges, MacGow an explained. He urged such lodges to rent or purchase “play-back” ma chines so that the programs may be heard at local meetings. He suggested also that, where pos sible, arrangements be made with local radio stations to broadcast the records. CONGRESS PAY RISE IS VOTED BY THE SENATE Washington, D. C. — Legislation to raise the salaries of members of the Congress from $10,000 to $15, 000 a year was approved by the Senate, 49 to 16. The measure was firmly sup ported by the Executive Council of the American Federation of La bor, which felt that more adequate remuneration would encourage able legislators to seek election to the Congress. Under terms of the measure, which provides sweeping changes in the legislative machinery of Congress, members of the Senate and House would be permitted^ to retire at the age of 62 on a pen sion of $7,500 a year. One of the major changes in the Senate’s machinery would be con solidation of 33 committees into 15, with the provision that mem bers could serve on only two com mittees. Membership of individual committees would be cut to 13, ex cept for the Appropriations Com mittee, which would be allotted 21 members. Some Senators, jealous of their patronage privileges, assailed one proposal on grounds it would es tablish a personnel “czar” over the Congress. This criticism was di rected at the provision which would have established a director of personnel, with broad powers to hire and fire legislative- employes. The issue was dropped when some Southern Senators, irked over the reduction in the number of com mittee chairmanships, had indicated that they would filibuster the measure if this provision were al lowed to stand. House leaders who attended the Jinal Senate debate on the meas ure expressed the conviction that, in view of its overwhelming ap proval by the Senate, House pas sage appeared assured. FITZPATRICK S RE-ELECTION IN CHICAGO IS UNOPPOSED — J Chicago.—President of the Chi • cago Federation of Labor for the ! past 37 years, John Fitzpatrick was assured of another two-year term when he was nominated here, without opposition, to continue in office. Five other incumbents were re-nominated without dissent: Jo seph D. Keenan, corresponding sec retary: Maurice Lynch, financial secretary; Christian >1. Madsen, treasurer; L. P. Straube, reading clerk, and Peter Bockstahler, ser geant-at-arms. CAR OPERATORS GET RAISE San Diego, Calif.—In a compro mise agreement, the AFL Street Car and Bus Operators have ac cepted an 18-cent-an-h our pay raise granted them by the San Diego Electric Railway Company. This new wage scale amounts to t $t.23 an hour. RED LEADERSHIP DOOMS CIO UNITS, PRES. GREEN SAYS — i Chicago.—Predicting groat aii-1 ranees for the American Fedora- ! don of State, County arid Munici pal Employes, AFL President Wil iam Green told the union's conven tion here that its rival counterpart :n the CIO is doomed to failure be cause it is “dominated and con trolled by Communists “You are an American organiza-. tion. You do not believe in strik ing against the government. Your opposition cannot succeed because it is officered and dominated by those who owe first allegiance to 1 another government. The State i and local government employes of! our nation will never respond to such treacherous leadership.” Mr. Green emphasized the great i gains made by the American Fed eration of State, County and Mu nicipal Employes under President Arnold Zander since the union was chartered by the AFL 10 years ago. At that time, Mr. Green re called, the organization consisted of a few scattered Federal union locals with a membership of 10, 000. Now the union has increased its membership to 75,000 and is still going strong. Failure of the CIO’s attempts to raid this field was confirmed, Mr. Green pointed out, by the fact that its State, County and Munic ipal employes affiliated has just been forced to merge with the CIO’s United Federal Workers Union to avoid being wiped out al together. The AFL chief also commented caustically on reports from Atlan tic City where the CIO merger was being effected that the new CIO group had adopted resolu tions criticising the United States and Britain for maintaining troops in foregn territories but failed to utter one word of protest against Soviet Russia’s belligerent poli cies. “Such resolutions show how thor oughly the Communists control this CIO unit,” Mr. Green de clared. At the same time, Mr. Green predicted that the AFL’s forth coming organising drive in the South would snow under the CIO’s efforts in that field because “work ers in the South will reject the false, Communist leadership” of the CIO campaign. A NEW CONCILIATION TOLICY IS REVEALED Washington, D. C.—On the una- j tmous advice of the Labor-Man- i agement Advisory Committee of j the U. S. Conciliation Service, Di rector Edgar L. Warren unnouned a new policy of having the parties* themselves l>ear the expense of ar bitrating disputes arising under collective bargaining agreements unless unusual circumstances jus tify an exception. In the past the service provided arbitrators free of charge to the parties. Service appointed arbitrators will hereaf ter charge fees. “The exception to the new poliey will arise in those rases where the existing contract specifically provides for the appointment of ar bitrators by the service without cost to the parties," Mr. Warren said. “It is expected that such clauses will not bo renewed in fu ture agreements. “This policy has been adopted in order to foster collective bargain ing by perfecting arbitration as a peaceful instrument for the settle ment of industrial disputes. Now that arbitration is widely accept ed as the terminal step in griev ance procedures, it is no longer necessary to encourage its use by monetary inducements. The deter rent of cost tends to promote the settlement of grievances by the parties themselves.” ► UPHOLSTERERS PAY $250,000 AID TO MEMBERS Philadelphia—Store ithan a quarter million dollars in health, accident, and death benefits have been paid to members during the two years’ operation of the Up holsters’ International union social security program, Sal B. Hoff man, president of the organization, announced.
