al UE convention at Cleve-

land this week concentrated on a program to unite the membership in
their fight to improve their living conditions. By a big majority vote of
the delegates the convention’s business centered on the membership's
economic interests, in spite of efforts of the James B. Carey group and
the Big Business newspapers to turn the convention into a factional

free-for-all,

In the first roll call vote, the
delegates Tuesday adopted 2,376 to
1,464 the-General Executive Board
statement calling fora united fight
of all UE members for shorter
hours, higher pay, better pensions
and health and insurance — plans.
This vote was a thumping defeat
for the Carey group which urged
that UE locals dealing with inde-
pendent companies delay bargain-
ing until settlements are negotiat-
ed with the main electrical chains.
The convention rejected this min-
ority proposal,

Condemn Steel Board of Inquiry

The GEB statement also con-
demned the steel Board of Inquiry
and charged that a number of em

“ ployers in the electrical industry
“have already attempted to use
that report to check the developing
pattern of gains which the UE has
succeeded in establishing’.

Carey defended the steel board’s
recommendations and ridictled the

( \gains which UI: has made. So far

in 1949 UE has made 300 complete

or partial settlements in contract
negotiations,

The lies spread by the Carey
group about a fight looming over
eredentials were disproved the op-

ening day. The credentials com-
mittee, which includes Carey sup-
porters like all the other commit-
tees, made a unanimous report, All
delegates’ credentials were approv-
‘ed, except for 10 delegates from
four locals, less than 1 per cent of
the total.

Action on Taft-Hartley

The convention on Tuesday ap-
proved the GEB. ‘recommendation
that Taft-Hartley affidavits be
filed so that UI, can use the Taft-
Hartley board machinery in fight-
ing off raids and diseuption.

The resolution on Taft-Hartley
pointed out that for more than two
years UE has refrained from us-
tig the Tatt-Harite
necessary condition for carrying on
a consistent and principled fight
for repeal of the Taft-Hartley
Act.”

“This has not been the case with
the majority of the unions of the
CIO and the AFL,” the resolution
declared,

The increased attacks by em-
ployers on the working people have
been aided by “the growing at-
tack upon the principles and prac-
tice of democratic rank-and-file

Important Matters Slated
For Membership Meeting

When this. week’s UE News went to press Local 301 was still trying
to find a hall large enough to fit the importance of the membership

meeting next Tuesday night, September 27,

The second shift meet-

ing will be at 1 p. m., Wednesday at the union hall.

Three matters of great import-
ance are scheduled for this .meet-
ing. .

The Local 301 delegates to the
UE Conference Board of GE locals

will report on the joint meeting of .
~the @E-- : i

_ tional UE convention by the 10

Local 801 delegates.

Reports will be made on the re-
cent state CIO convention by the
local’s 10 delegates,

To Elect Treasurer

In addition, the membership will
elect a treasurer to serve for the
remainder of the year. | William
Downs resigned the office recently
to study for the ministry. ‘The
Executive Board named Marshall
White, former ‘treasurer, to re-
place him pending the membership
meeting,

The union office has mailed the
301 membership cards for the last
quarter of 1949 to all members.
For identification purposes, every

on from within the labor move-
ment as well as from without,” the
resolution also stated.

Must Defeat Attacks

The convention voted that “the
most important task of the UE is
to continue to defend and fight for

its rank-and-file democracy, unite
itself. against disruption from
within and place itself in the best
possible position of defense against
attacks from without.”

Three of Local 801’s 10 delegates
were placed on committees. Bus-
iness Agent Leo Jandreau is chair-
man of the resolutions committee;

801 generally had its own meeting
place. He said that organizations
allowed to use these assembly
places hold meetings that are open
to the public,

The assistant superintendent of
schools, Dr. G. E, Hinchey, said
that school auditoriums are not

Miners on Strike;
Steel May Be Next

Employer resistance to wage
raises and pensions and welfare
plans forced a nation-wide coal
strike this: week, and even raised
the possibility of a steel strike.

In their resistance to raises, the
employers ‘had the backing of:
President Truman's “fact-finding”
board’s report, As to Welsare, the
report called for employer-paid
pensions and insurance,’ but ap-
parently the big employers felt
they could refuse just the same,

The coal miners walked out af-
ter President John L, Lewis an-
nounced that failure of many mine
owners to pay into the pension and
welfare fund had caused the fund
to stop payment of benefits to sick
and aged miners, Also: involved in
the fight is the whole question of a

-—-new-contract -

In steel, the prediction had been
made in all quarters that the “fact-
finding”. board report would pre-
vent a strike. President Philip
Murray, of the United Steelworker
accepted the recommendations
promptly. The big steel compa-
nies however, refused to accept the
recommendations as the basis of
negotiations, despite repeated
pleas and warnings by Murray.

Rubber Strike

The rubber workers are on strike
against the Goodrich company,
over wages, pensions, and health
and welfare plats. There is a pos-
sibility of a strike against Ford.
The membership there has voted
overwhelmingly for a strike.

The newspapers: have been
stressing what the coal and steel
strikes, might do to eniployment
in other industries. The facts: are
not too clear now. But the most
important thing is that the em-
ployers are in a united front
against workers’ demands, and arc
virtually challenging the unions-to
take common action,

UE Asked Joint Fight

UE NEWS: MAR

Unusual—

| __To Say the Least

Apart from the remarkable col-
lection of vicidus lies which it con-
tained, there were two other re-
markable features about the “601
Union Generator” 8-page paper
distributed by the Carey support-
ers here last week:

1. While it was distributed in
Schenectady on Wednesday, Sep-
tember 14, the 601 executive board
in East Pittsburgh, voted on Fri-
day, September 16, to authorize its
printing and distribution.

2. While it is supposed to be the
organ of many thousands of West-
inghouse workers now engaged in
a tough bargaining fight with the
company, you could not find any
reference to the negotiations in the
whole paper.

auto and the national CIO did not
respond,

The developments have con-
firmed what this paper said on
August 12, namely that any con-
cession made by a government
agency to Phillip Murray would be
much less than could be won
through a united fight as proposed
by UE,

The steel “fact-finding board”
recommendations amount to four
cents an hour’s worth of insur-
ance, and less where there already

‘is an insurance plan. The six cents °

an hour for pensions would be
something fox study by March 1,
1950, and then for negotiations.
The only part of the recommen-
dations likely to affect the present
contract would be the possible four
cents’ worth of insurance.

UE Is Example of Real Democracy

Covering up a dishonest trick by
accusing one’s opponent of plan-
ning such a trick is an old political
maneuver,

In just that way, the Carey sup-
porters who for years have been
trying to destroy UE’s democracy
so they can take control now let
out loud yells accusing the present
UE national officers of. planning
“thought control” and “dictator-
ship.”

The accusations are based on a
constitutional amendment recom-
mended by the General Executive
Board of UE to thepresent inter-
national convention, The amend-
ment simply provides that the Gen-
eral Executive Board may conduct
the trial of any UE member ac-
cused of “participating in or en-
couraging secession from UE or

raiding against UB, or dual union-

ism.” :
Protection Against Raiding

The amendment is a necessity to
protect the membership against
raiding, It makes it possible for
the union General Executive Board,
representing the whole member-
ship, to move promptly against

members or local officers who mis- .

use their positions of trust to try
to break up UE, and who have so
“gained control of the machinery of
their local that prosecution through
the local is impossible, The amend-
ment is required against the pres-
ent-day danger of raiding. If the
Carey group were not planning 2
drive against UE, they would not
object to the proposed amendment.

But the remarkable thing about
the Carey outery is that the CIO

Tinsmiths and Helpers
Walk Out as Protest

All tinsmiths and helpers walk-
ed off their jobs Monday in the sec-
ond successive protest against the
company’s refusal to adjust their
rates. The group, which is in
Building 62, had walked off at 3
p.m eleven days before that. This
time they walked out at 2 p.m.

The walk-out is legal under the
contract, in view of the fact that
the grievance has gone to the end
of procedure without bringing a
satisfactory settlement,

Blood Donors Needed

office have constitutional disciplin-
ary provisions that really threaten
democracy.

As against the clear-cut propos-
ed UE provision against raiding
and dual unionism, the United Au-
to Workers’ last convention gave
the UAW general executive board
power to bring members to trial
for violation of the constitution or
“for conduct unbecoming a mem-
ber of the Union.” This, language
can cover criticism of union policy
or ‘anything else that the Walter
Reuther leadership does not like.

“Democracy” in Buffalo

Last April seven officers of Lo-
cal 2608 United Steelworkers in
Buffalo criticized Philip Murray’s
failure to file Taft-Hartley non-
Communist affidavits. At that time
it was still Steelworker policy not

punished. The local president was
suspended from membership for
30 days and barred from running
for office for two years, Ever hear
of anyone bringing charges against
the many in UE who have scream-
ed for affidavits?

The proposed UE . amendment
will strengthen ULE democracy.
ULE’s democracy is shown at its
highest in the simplest thing: the
membership must vote directly on
a strike. The membership must
vote on accepting a proposed settle-
ment. Contrast this with what
happened in the pending steel sit-
uation,

Membership control is shown and
practiced throughout the UE con-
stitution,

Echo of Hoover

President Herbert Hoover told
the American Bankers Association
Oct, 2, 1980:

“There are a few folks in busi-
ness and several folks in the poli-
tical world who resent the notion
that things will ever get better

and who wish to enjoy our tem- .

porary misery,”,

And now listen to what Presi-
dent Truman said in a radio speech
July 12, 1949: ,

“Some people are saying, and
‘saying very loudly, that these facts
mean that we are in a depression.
Many of these people, for. political
reasons, would like to have a de-
pression,”?

Big Companies Increasing Control

The 113 manufacturing concerns worth $100,000,000 or more apiece
control almost half the nation’s total manufacturing wealth, Russ Nixon,
UE legislative representative, pointed out recently. He quoted a recent
Federal Trade Commission report, based on 1947 figures, which reflects
the increased concentration since World War II began,

Steel: Eight companies control

U.S.
Steel alone controls about one third
of ‘the entire steel industry.

Automobile: Three companies
control about 70 per cent of the
auto and truck manufacturing in-
dustry. General Motors has 41 per
cent, Ford has 22 per cent and
Chrysler 6 per cent.

Aluminum: Three companies
own ALL of this industry. Alu-
minum Corp. of America owns 55
per cent, and Reynolds Metal owns
30 per cent.

Tin Cans and Tinware: Ameri-
can Can controls 55 per cent and
Continental Can 87 per cent, All
the other companies have 8 per
cent :

Rubber Tires arid Ties: ~ The’

ig Four (Goodyear, Firestone, U.
S. Rubber and Goodrich) own 88
per cent of the entire industry.

Aireraft: Eight big outfits own
nearly three-fourths of the indus-
try. .

Electrical Machinery: Classified
as “moderate concentration” be-
cause it takes 15 concerns to ac-
count for 60 per cent of the indus-
try. ‘

These are the great champions
of “free, private enterprise.” Be-
sides great economic power, these
big outfits exercise hidden but very
great political power. It was
against their domination of Am-
erica that Franklin Roosevelt
spoke out so strongly.

The Federal Trade Commission
was right when it recently stated
“No great stretch-of the imagina-
tion is required to foresee that if
nothing is done to check the
growth in concentration, either the.
giant corporations will ultimately
take over the country, or the Gov-
ernment will be impelled to step in
and impose some form of direct
regulation in the public interest.”

These great monopolies are the
real threat to American freedom,

301 Protests
Proposed Tax

A committee from the Local 301
Executive Board called on Arthur
Blessing, executive secretary of
the City Planning Commission,
Friday of last week to protest the

-commission’s proposal for a Sche-
nectady sales tax,

Representing the union were
President Frank Kriss, Board
Members Joseph Mangino, James
Cognetta and William Stewart and
the 301 attorney, Marshall Perlin,

Blessing claimed that a sales tax
to cover the cost of capital im-
provements recommended by the
Commission would scarcely be felt
by Schenectady workers.. The
union members showed him that
by his own figures the tax would
average $14 a year a person, or
$70 for the usual family unit of
‘fiver 7 “ Semen ces

The union committee said that
301 is. unalterably opposed to any
form of sales tax as an added bur-
den to those least able to pay. The
group said the city should demand
inereased state aid and should
make GE and ALCO pay their just
share of. taxes on. their property
and profits,

Blessing expressed fear that
such a move, would drive GE out
of town. He said he will continue
to press for a sales tax.:

Canadian GE Girls
Stop Speed-Up

Protests of girl winders at the
General Electric’s Davenport works
at Toronto, Canada, recently halt-
ed management’s plan to introduce
a tricky form of speed-up in the
specialty transformer division,

Management had announced it
would bring in 12 new girls for
night shift to work 82% hours a
week, The 15 girls in the depart-
ment on day shift protested the
arrangement and pointed out that
the UE contract specified a work-
week of 44 hours.

Then management proposed re-
arranging the shifts, so that the
new girls also would get 44 hours
work, but the regular day shift
would have to report at 6 a.m. and
also work Saturdays. This plan
also was wnanimously rejected by
the girls as another attempt to
speed them up and also speed up
the new employees.

The winders have made many
complaints about turning out work
at piece-work effort and receiving
only day-rate, not the guaranteed
bonus. The union ig pressing griev-
ance cases for them,

How Schenectady Press
Reported the Big Flop

The Schenectady Union-Star fi-
nally admitted Friday of last week
that the much ballyhooed “demon-
stration’’..by.supporters of James.
B. Carey the day before was a
flop.

The Gazette wasn’t as smart,
however, and tried to keep up the
pretense that there was a real
demonstration. Both papers had
(given tremendous space to the
Carey group’s distortions and wild
claims before the ‘affair and

worked hard to try to build up a |

turn-out,

The Gazette ran an open call
for violence issued’ by 801 Record-
ing Secretary Frank Fiorillo, lea-
der of the Carey faction here.

A statement was issued to both

members of the uliiori, deélaring
that the so-called demonstration
was organized by James Thomas
Fitzpatrick of Pittsburgh, a Carey
supporter, “in an effort to disrupt
our pending negotiations and ‘as-
sist GE in opposing the just de-
mands of its employees for shorter
hours, higher pay and decent pen-
sions.”

The Union-Star ran only one
short paragraph of the union state-
ment in full and summarized an-
other paragraph. Both papers
omitted the following reference to
the aid Fitupatrick received from
the newspapers.

“In this work, J. T, Fitzpatrick,

the agent of anti-union forces in
Pittsburgh, received the generous
assistance of the local press. The
press did not even refrain from
publishing calls to violence and
rioting.”
_ The statement pointed out that
GE workers “showed their under-
standing of the issue by staying
away from the anti-UE demon-
stration almost unanimously.”

Is THIS the Rank and File ?

Os

Here is James Thomas Fitzpatrick, who came to Schenectady from East

Pittsburgh, Pa. to manage the phony “UE Rank and File” campaign

_for the outside group backing James B. Carey. He was photographed in

his room at the Van Curler Hotel where he was master-minding until

EU News exposed his presence.

Wonder who paid for the cigars?

Fitzpatrick checked out last Friday, it was reported, the day after the
big flop of his “mass demonstration” and call for violence, . Fitzpatrick

is editor of the Union Generator of Westinghouse Local 601. He has~
worked only 12 hours in the Westinghouse plant since Jan. 31,

TT

‘o retain

his seniority rights he obtained a personal leave of absence from the
company in July until Oct. 7. It is very difficult for a plain worker
get such a leave from the Westinghouse plant at East Pittsburgh.

Personal Letters
Continued by GE

GE is continuing the personal
approach as one of its many means

-of propaganda against its em-

ployees’ hour, wage, and welfare
demands. vee

A letter signed by Works Man-
ager Lewis J, Male was sent to the
workers on Sept. 7. It told them
the old tale that the past wage
increases had caused the cost-of-
living to go up. .

The truth is that the prices went
up first, and would have gone up
regardless, becduse the big manu-
facturers have simply charged all
that the traffic will bear. With-
out the raises, the workers would
have been much worse off. Now GE
hag said publicly that it could not
pass increased labor costs on to
the customer. This means that the

“pay would’ have to come out’ «7?

profits, thus increasing the pur-

_ chasing power of the people.

And no amount of phony theo-
vies will change the fact that a 35-
hour week with 40 hours’ pay
would foree GE to employ many
more people than on a 40-hour
week, oe
_ The Male letter winds up in a
typical trick question, as to whe-
‘ther the workers want “higher
wages and higher prices or steady
wages, steady production, and ‘in-
creased purchasing power?”

Of course that is not the choice.
Unless purchasing power is in-
ereased through both shorter hours
and higher pay, there can be
neither steady wages nor steady
production,

The Works News of Sept. 9 also
quoted Male as saying employ-
ment had gone up in the Turbine
Division since the new building
was built, This was supposed..,to
answer the union’s charge that the
new building has been the base for
the speed-up drive and lay-offs. It
does not answer the charge at all.
GE did not get more business be-
cause of the building, It built the
building because of its greatly in-
creased turbine business. It de-
signed the building to make possi-
ble greater production per worker, —
and thereby make lay-oft's possible.
