The decline is due to midyear changes ef some union officers who have not yet filed current reports. The July total, however, was 92 per cent greater than the March 31 figure of 39,947. Analysis of the affidavits on file July 31 disclosed that 171 national and 8,352 local unions are now in full compliance with the non-Communist affidavit and fi nancial reporting requirements of the Labor Management Rela tions Act of 1947. This was an Increase of four national and 436 local unions over the June total. The affidavits must be filed with the NLRB and the financial state ments with the Secretary of La bor before a union is eligible for various services of the NLRB. The Bureau of Labor Stan dards of the Department of La bor announced that 17,275 na tional and local unions had filed financial and other reports with the Secretary of Labor on July 31. This represented an increase of 449 over the June total of 16,826. William L. Connolly, Di rector of the Bureau of Labor Standards, said that AFL na tional and local unions repre sented about 70 per cent of the total, CIO about 11 per cent, and independent unions about 19 per cent. HOW TO KIU A UNION 1. Don’t attend meetings. 2. If you go, go late. 3. If the weather isn’t pleas ant, stay home. 4. Don’t accept any office; it’s easief to criticize. 5. Never approve anything your officers or committees do. 6. Don’t pay your dues until you have to. 7. Don’t bother recruiting new members. 8. Insist on official notices being sent you, but don't pay any attention to them when you get them. 9. Don’t waste any courtesy at a meeting. It’s up to your officers to take it. 10. When you don’t like what’s going on say so, but under no circumtr.nces offer any constructive suggestions. 11'. Devote most of your time talking; let someone else do the work. 12. If elected a delegate to a higher body or convention, don’t bother about attending meetings. 13. Then you can report when you get home that the or ganization is in the hands of a political gang and that there is no use trying to do anything about it. 14. Look for hidden motives; don’t credit brother or sister members with any ideals. 15. Don’t co-operate with any officer or committee; make them co-operate with you. 16. Remember that you know more than anyone else about everything. If they don't agree with you, they’re wrong. (Reprint from Cleveland Citizen.) FOOD COMPANY HEAD PROTESTS MEAT PRICES New York.—A prominent ex ecutive in the meat packing in dustry warned bia colleagues that the average family cannot afford the high prices for meat current* ly in the markets, and called for regulation of the prices of essen tial foods. Samuel Slotkin, president of the Hygrade Food Products Corp., one of the biggest independent packing house*, assailed the American Meat Institute for ita advertisements which attempted to explain away the industry's huge profits. “The wage earner and Ms family are not helped a whit by costly advertisements which tell the public that meat packers net a profit of but a fraction of a cent a pound. The average fam ily still cannot afford to buy meat I at these prices.” Mr. Slotkin Called for the reg ulation of the prices of major foods in the way “other public utilities” such as telephone and electric services are controlled.
