C.—Nearly 70(! employes of Safeway Stores, Inc., won a 10-cent hourly increase i«. new contracts just concluded, it was announced.

SECRETARY OF LABOR SAYS RIGID CONTROL NEEDED (Continued From Page 1) can be envisaged at this time— would have to be taken on a case by case basis. For this reason, it is neither essential nor possible to plan irf detail the kind of ad minitrative machinery taht will be nee led. “It may be that the wage board wh:eh I have mentioned would be a suitable body to entrust with the administration of any nec essary controls. It may well be, however .that the few cases which arise will each be so unique that it will be nest to handle them by special means, such a3 the creation of individual" wagt boards or wage-pnce boards whose function it would be tc acahive settlements or to make recommendations. Even in these cases, voluntary action w 11 play an important role, since there has been no request for authority to order wage settlements in the absence of labor-management agreement. SCREEN ACTORS’ GUILD TO BAR COMMUNISTS Hollywood.

UPHOLSTERERS' PRESIDENT WARNS OF HASTY ACCEPT ANCE OF CONTRACT TERMS Philadelphia—Sal B. Hoffman, president of the AFL's Uphol ders International Union, de clared that one of the worst fea ur s of the Taft-Hartley law s the fear that it instills in the hearts of some workers. In a statement released for publication to UIU locals, Mr. Iofrman iau:ioneJ union mem bers not to be daunted by the law’s tricky and unfair provi sions. He declared: “Unions and their attorneys have become fully cognisant of the booby traps that exist in the law for unwary union members and leaders, and have devised counter-measures. These have been embodied in the form of provisions in collective bargain ing agreements to be negotiated with employers.” “Pitfalls in the law are brought to your attention in union pub lications not to dismay you,” Hoff man continued, “but to make you \ aware of their existence so that you may intelligently evade them. vmri uujrvuvt Ui mt? mw j s to make you afraid to fight for your rights, for better eondi- j tiions and for your job. Afraid • oppose your employer and afraid to hope in the future for he improvements your union won or you in the paat. “The secret to effective protec- , ion from the iniquities, double alk an;i booby traps with which the Taft-Hartley law is so fully studied is that they can be in* validated only before a co-tract s signed and not afterward. “That means you should make sure your local union does not accept, and your leaders do not sign, a contract with any employ* er unless it contains all the pro* .ective provisions devised by the legal staffs of your international and the American Federation of fiabor. I “We must be alert and ready to fight any employer who tries to | use the evils of this law to taka from us decent wages and work ing conditions and effective se curity which have been obtained and established by our unions in years of bitter struggle for or* ganisation and hours of patient | negotiation.” | - REA POWER SUPPLIED TO 2.000.000TH USER Washington. D. C.—The 2,000, 000th consumer will soon be con nected to power lines financed by the Rural Electrification Admin istration, the Department of Agri culture announced. 1 FLANS FOR LABOR'S POLITI CAL LEA6UE TO BE MAPPED BY AFL UNION PRSIOENTS Washington, D. C.—Fianl de tails in the organization of La bor’s Educational and Political League” are expected to be worked out at a meeting of all AFL national and international union pnsidents here on December 5th and 6th. Prior to the general meeting, the AFL Executive Council is sched uled to convene in Washington on December 4th. Establishment of the league was voted unanimously by the AFL convention last October as a means of combatting the obnoxi ous Taft-Hartley layr Its pur pose is; three-fold: 1. To see that union members go to the polls in 1948. 2. To make known to union members the meaning of the ec onomic and political policies of the American Federation of La bor and the evil effects of the vicious Taft-Hartley measure. 3. To bring about the defeat at the polls of labor’s foes in Congress and the various state legislatures and to elect those men who will give labor a square deal. The meeting of union chiefs was called by the AFL Executive Council in order to discuss and formulate definite plans for the league concerning its organiza tion and methods of operation. The convention left such details to the union officials and merely authorized the establishment of the league ag a weapon to be U3ed in the coming crucial political ' a‘ties of 1948. In addition to the organization al details to be considered, the meeting is expected to develop ways and means of financing the activities of the league and to establish a goal for the funds necessary to carry out ita pur poses. The Executive Council discussed these matters in a general way at a meeting following the AFL convention, but nothing was an nounced in the way of a definite proposal. At that time, members of the council were of the opinion that regular funds of the AFL could be used within the meaning of the Taft-Hartley law to carry 1 on the educational aspects of the i campaign. This embraces the '-gt: o: acquainting workers with AFL policies ana explaining how the provisions of the law- ad I verseiy affect union activities. In regard to the political phase, the council was of the opinion that necessary . funds should be raised by voluntary contributions made by union mem 1 bers and fnends of the labor movement.
