Enka Plant Election
(
HEY, BOSS!
New York. — The American
worker’* high production i* due
largely to the fact that he actu
ally uses more minute* of every
hour he is on the job than is the
case in the United Kingdom.
That is the impression gained
by Francis G. Mulligan, tailor's
presser of Coop A Co. of Wigans,
Lancs., following his 6 weeks’
tour of the United States with a
United Kingdom productivity
team.

terially in sponsoring the National

Home Building
Sets New Record
Washington.—All previous hous
ing records were broken in Novem
ber, when 93,000 new nonfarm
dwelling units were started.
November starts brought the
total thus far in 1949 to 937,100,
according to preliminary estimates
of the U. S. Labor Department’s
Bureau of Labor Statistics. This
11-month total surpasses the 937,
000 units begun in all of 1925, the
former peak year in homebuilding.
There is little doubt now that the
total number of new units started
this year will exceed a million.
November housing activity marks
the fifth consecutice month during
which previously existing records
for the month were shattered. The
sharp seasonal drop usually char
acteristic of this time of the year
has failed to materialise in 1949.
Gains in both piivately and pub
licly financed housing have con
tributed to the increased volume
of homebuilding activity in 1949
1 compared with 1948.

Asheville, N. C.—The AFL Unit- ■
ed Textile Workers trounced the ,
CIO by i 4-to-one vote for 3,000
employes at the American Enka ^
Corp. as the climax to an abortive
CIO raid. '
The United Textile Workers re
ceive 2,015 votes, 77 percent of ’
those cast, while the CIO polled !
only 530. The CIO total was less
than one-half the number of cards
shown National Labor Relations I
Board field agents.
The company, pending outcome
of the election, stalled negotiations
on a new contract with the AFL. (
Hard-hitting machenry set up by
United Textile Workers Local ]
2598 officers, hop and chief stew
ards, rank and file members and ‘
international representatives car
ried the AFL to victory. *
In urging a vote -for the AFL,
Textile Workers President Anthony
Valente told the workers in a pre
election statement:
“You can protect your AFL sen
iority rights, the wages which we
have won, the AFL paid holidays,
the years of work and achievement
which today places the Enka work
er in the forefront of all rayon
workers.”
Throughout the campaign,' AFL
officers insisted that terms of the
contract then in effect must be ad
hered to and that neither the com
pany nor the CIO would Iq allow
ed to tear down the conditions built
for Enka workers over the past 10
years.
KEEPS KALAMAZOO CONTROL
Washington.—A proposal by the
Kalamazoo, Mich., rent advisory
board to decontrol the city and
county of Kalamazoo has been dis
approved by Housing Expditer
Tighe E. Woods because the evi
dence submitted by the board “is
not sufficient to show that the de
mand for rental housing has been
reasonably met." Data on Kat
imazoo indicates there is still a
bousing shortage.

Letter-Press
Printing
Letter press printing in the graphic arts
means the direct application of inked type
and engravings or other type material to
paper.
It is the simplest of all graphic methods
of reproduction and at the same time the
most lasting. It was the method employed
by the medieval craftsmen who first ap
plied type to paper and it has persisted
throughout the centuries over all innova
tions, until today, when the best of crafts
manship is sought in a job, there is np al
ternative to letter press printing, along
with high grade paper and typographic
good taste.
