Labor Supports Blood Program Philadelphia. — Organised labor here it boosting; the Red Croat* blood-donor campaign. Joseph A. McDonough, business manager of the AFL*a Central Labor Union, Henry F. Shipherd, president of the Philadelphia In dustrial Union Council (CIO), and W. B. Woodward, general chair man, Brotherhood of Locomotive Enginemcn and Firemen, joined in the pledge of support for the Blood Center. "Labor is firmly behind the blood program,” they said. “Few pro jects will so tremendously benefit labor as a working Mood program such as the Red Cross has insti tuted. Too often in the past we have been compelled to pay high sums for blood when it was need ed. That situation no longer ex ists." Each factory, plant and union local will organise blood donations under its own blood recruitment chairman in cooperation with man agement and the Red Cross, they said. “Now that we have the Blood Center, we must see to it that it carries out its objective of being aMe to give blood free to every one, regardless of race, color, creed or financial status," the union leaders said. “Labor will do its share to mak* it succeed." Anniversary Greetings State Capitol Life Insurance Co. Heme Office Wachovia Bank Buildiif RALEIGH, NORTH GUOUM LABOR’S 48 INCOME SHARE LOWER THAN PREWAR LEVEL Lake Success, N. Y.—Labor’s share in the U. S. ntional income dropped last year below prewar levels, according to statisticians on the staff of the United. Na tions. The same situation waa true in Canada, Belgium and New Zea land, the experts reported. The ratio of wages, salaries and other income to labor stood at 62 per cent of total national incofne during 1948 in. this coun try, a decrease of 4 per cent from the position 10 years earlier,, the experts announced.. Declines of 7 per cent, and 8 per cent were reported in labor’s part of national production in Canada and New Beafcnd, respectively. Bi. Belgium, where workers received 4 per cent less of th« national income titan they did in. 1j938, United. Nations statisticians, commenting on results of the sur vey, attributed the altered posi tion of labor in the United States, Cans At, Belgium and New Zea Ind to strong inflationary pres-, suras that have forced prices up faster than wages in these coun Largely undamaged by the war, concerns in these countries have reaped high profits from trade with war-devasted countries, de pendent on them tor essential goods and services in the post war years, those experts declared. They cautioned, however, that in come distribution figures did not adequately take into account in come received by self-employed persons, small enterpreneurs and farmers. Wage-earners in Switserland enlarged their slice of the na tic-al income pie by 12 per cent, it was reported. A movement of small artisans, farmres and pro fessional persons into the ranks of wage-earners may be respons ible for the harp increase in the ratio of wages and salaries to other national income in Switzer land, authorities here suggested. New York City.—The National Industrial Conference Board found in a survey that in 1936 fewer than 10 per cent of the companies checked were paying hourly rated employes for one or more unworked holidays, but in 1948, 76.6 per cent of the firms allowed this practice. “The difference between a pre judice and a conviction is that you can explain a conviction with out getting mad." Here Till., "Free Enterprise" BOSTON—At a Senate subcom mittee hearing the New York man ager of a Puerto Rican “industrial development” concern testified that Textron, lac., multi-million dollar New England textile firm, is build ing a mill in Puerto Rico and plans fiwe more. He explained, Textron will be free of taxes for 15 years. And what, a Puerto Rican asked, will, the minimum wages for work ers in the new Textron mills be? “They will be 25 cents an hour,” waa the answer. No matter how you add that up, it still comes to only $10 for a 40-hour week. ees must open the windows every day for fresh air in the winter as well as the summer. One meat ratter each day shall be designated Ui» bring into the market a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the day’s business. “To All Employees: We have signed a contract with the work ers’ union. Therefore, in the future Dur store wiB open at 7 a.m. and elbnratt ( pun., except on Saturday when it closes at 9 p.m. This store will remain closed each Sabbath. The market in question was own ed hy the Mormon Church. When the agreement was consummated, i notice was prominently posted in the store which read as follows: Those' wha grow a little older in life are prone to talk about the rood. old. days. An A.F.L. organ iser on the West Coast brings forth the information that the first con track signed with a Meat Cutters LocaL Union was in Utah with the market of P. W. Madson in 1870. “Inch employee is expected to pay his tithing to the Church, which is 18% of his annua) income. No matter what the income might be*, each worker must contribute not less than $25.00 per year to the Church. Each employee will attend Sunday Sacrament meeting and adequate time will be given to at tend: Fast meeting on Thursday. “Any amployee who amok eis. Spanish cigars, uses liquor in any form,, gate shaved at the barber ■hop or frequents pool halls or public dance halls shall be subject to discharge. “Umter the agreement the duties of the employees among other things shall be as fellows: Sweep the floors, dust the shelves and countaxs. Mast cutters shall each day trim the lamp wicks, fill, the lamps with oil and clean the. lamp chimneys. All employees must make their writing pens carefully but they may whittle the quillfc to suit the individual taste. Employ Also each employee is expected to attend Sunday School. INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT Of*; MARCH DIP 4TH STRAIGHT Washington.—Industrial produc tion dropped in March lor the fourth consecutive month and the downswing is continuing, the fed eral reserve board reported. “Employees will be given an eve ning of each week for courting purposes or two evenings off each week if they go regularly to Church and attend Church duties. After any employee has spent him IS hours of labor in the store, with the rest of his leisure time he must then read good books and contem plate the Glories and building up of the Kingdom of God.” In all probability the above agreement waa some improvement upon previous working conditions. We can only comment that meat cutters in 1870 must have been of very hardy stock inasmuch as they were still expected to have leisure time after working 13 hours each day in the store. W’hile the agreement does not state, in all probability the union meat cutter in those days who was compelled to sweep the floor also had to buy his own broom. New York.—Although there has been a noticeable drop in employ ment and an equally noticeable drop in consumer purchasing in the metropolitan and up-state arts, confidence among businessmen and trade union officials, waning a few weeks ago, has been buoyed by analyses which seem to indicate that a sharp pickup is inevitable by late spring. -*■ T Anniversary Greetings JOE K.
