Trjom St. Plone 4-3534 PHILADELPHIA GARMENT WORKERS NEW CONTRACT HAS OETTER HEALTH RULES Philadelphia — Samuel Otto, manager of the Philadelphia Dress Joint Board, ILGWU, an nounced new gains for garment workers in the Philadelphia area. An agreement setting new high standards in wages and working conditions of the belt and sus pender industry was reached with the Pioneer Suspender Company, one of the country’s largest man ufacturers. Chief gains for the 300 work ers are a ten per cent general increase in wages, reduction >f the work week from 40 hours to 37 1-2 and two additional paid holidays, bringing the total to six. Otto pointed to the agreement as proof that “where employers and the workers’ representatives are determined to arrive 'at just and amicable composition of de mands arising out of the em ployer-emplo.ve relationship, no government interference or harm ful legislative restriction on labor such as the Taft-Hartle.v Act are necessary or desirable.” In addition to the new contract, Otto announced major increases in sick benefits, ranging up to 87 1-2 per cent, in accordance -with a provision of the union’s Health Insurance Fund. The increases are effective on October 1. Weekly sick benefit payments are increased 20 per cent from $10 a week for 10 weeks to $12 a week for the same period. Hos pitalization benefits are increased 87 1-2 per cent from $2 a day for twelve days to $3 a day for 15 days. In addition, a number of oper ations formerly not compensated for are added to the surgical ben efit list. They cover cataracts, varicose veins, tonsils and hem orroids. Otto pointed out that benefits have been increased steadily from the original schedule of $8 a week for a maximum of 8 weeks since establishment of the fund in Feb ruary, 1943. The union is sole administrator of the fund, main tained under terms of the agree ment with the Philadelphia Waist & Dress Manufacturers Associa tion by employers’ contributions of 4 1-2 per cent of their payroll. A sum equivalent to 2 per cent of the payroll is set aside for vacation payments to the city’s 12,000 workers covered by the fund. COMNECTICU^ AFlT TESTS TUFT-HARTLEY LAW Bill Hartford, Conn.—The Connecti cut Federation of Labor and a local AFL union joined in the movement to challenge the con stitutionality of the Taft-Hart ley law by running paid adver tisements in a local newspaper urging the defeat of members of Congress who voted for the meas ure. The advertisements are intended to test the validity of a section of the law restricting labor or ganizations from making expendi tures in political campaigns. Federation officials said the va lidity of the law was being chal lenged in the expectation that the case would be brought into the courts for eventual determi nation by the Supreme Court. ANOTHER NLRB LEGAL AIDE QUITS IN PROTEST AT LAW - New York City.—Alan F. Perl announced hi* resignation as re gional attorney for the National Labor Relations Board, explain ing that he was “not in sym pathy” with the new Taft-Hart ley Act. This action followed siifiilar steps taken soon after the law's enactment by Gerhard P. Van Arkel, general counsel '■'of the Ni-RB, and Morris P. Glushien, associate general counsel, both af whom also had expressed doubt about the wisdom of the act. GONN.
