New Contract Rate Facts
Under the new contract, a revised schedule of day work
progression rates will be in effect. It is important that all shop
slewards and workers in day work groups be aware of the new
schedules published in the-chart below in order to make sure
that the contract is enforced in regard .to these rates. ‘
Another key change in the rate schedule involves picceworkers ,
who are temporarily on productive day work jobs, or who for |
one reason or another are being paid the idle time rates. The
applicable rates in these cases are contained in the second of the “
two charts published on this page. It should be noted that be-
ginning with the $1.54 A.E.R., a 3-step differential between
hoth the idle time and productive day rates and the A.E.R, applies.

Clergymen Hit Back
- At McCarthy Smears —
An attack on the clergy by J. B.
Matthews, executive director of
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy’s investi-
« gating subcommittee, drew, strong
“rebuttals from Protestant leaders
Sunday.
In an article in the July Ameri-
can Mercury, Matthews claimed
“the largest single group support-
ing. the Communist apparittus in
the -U.° S. today is composed of
Protestant clergymen.” The state-
ment brought demands from Sen.
Charles IE. Potter (R, Mich.) and
the three Democratic members of
McCarthy’s committee that Mat- |
thews be fired, but MeCarthy re-
‘fused to take action.
A similar demand was voiced in
a Sunday morning sermon by Dean
James A. Pike of the New York
Cathedral of St. John the Divine.:
Pike suid* the attack on the clergy
“is so absurd on the face of it as
to reflect on Mr. Matthews’ compe-
ztence to-hold any public, office.”
He warned that “if this systematic
smearing of our fellow citizen's
continues to go on, more than the
Rosenbergs will have died in our
land.”
Matthews: cited as proof of his
charge the fact that 528 clergymen |
signed a petition opposing the Me-
security act of
Mr. Matthews
my
Carran internal
1950. “I can give
some’ more evidence of ‘treason,
the dean said. “The almost 1,000
delegates to the convention of the
Episcopal Diocese of New York
voted by a large majority a sharp
condemnation of the McCarran
_act, If this be ‘evidence of Com--
munist conspiriucy, then he can add
to his list the clergy and laymen
of the convention—mostly vestry-
men, Heretofore Episcopal vestry-
men have not been- principally dis-
tinguished for their rudieul lean-
ings.”
Clergymen have. taken” positions
on social questions, he said, “be-
cuuse as. ministers of God they are
under ordination vows to proclaim
the gospel of freedom and human
dignity against all that would
tyrannize the soul—on either side
of the iron curtain. They are the
their traducers
The only conspiracy be-
iance to the Kingdom of God, which
is a higher loyalty than to acts of
‘Congress or the -wnAmerican ace
livities of congressmen or their
employes.”
‘aide The tally in the NLRB rep-
resentation vote at. the big GE bul
shop was UE 416; IVE-CIO 27%
and no union 30.
This count represented a big: in-
crease in UIo strength at the plant

barrage at ‘the Cleveland workers,

ing the past year,
Biggest single ‘factor in the UE
vietory was the fight being waged
by the union. to end pay discrimin-
ation on account of sex, A large
majority of the Euclid workers are
women, many 'of whom had seen
their rates go up tremendously as
n result of the UI drive to gain
equal pay for equal work.
Another important contributor
to the victory was the UE drive

Mica Insulator Co. workers received a shot in the arm
"this week when the National Labor Relations Board announced
that a conference to set a date for an NLRB representtaion

short-lived because the Mica’ man-

IUE Use of Anti-Union
Lies
To Aid Raid on AFL Exposed
A few months ago, a newspaper was published in Newton.
Mass. which was a collection of anti-union trash from all over
the country. This newspaper repeated all of the old lies that
~ unions endanger the national se-
turity everytime they strike; that
union members are thugs.:who: go:
around armed with knives and
guns, that laws*should be enacted,
to outlaw utility strikes, ete.
“Whiut’s so startling about an
anti-labor newspaper?”. you ask.
Here’s the answer: ~~
In this case, the strike-breaking,
anti-union collection of lies was
published by‘an organization which
claims to be-a union.. You'll: need
only one guess to figure out which
one—the IUE-CIO, of course.
The amazing -IUIE" publication
was brought to light this week. by
the UE national office which ob-
“tained copies and had them’ photo-
stated. The paper was used by
Carey ina raid on the IBEW-AFL-
represented workers at the Ray-
theon_ plant. :
For almost 3 pages of the“paper,
the IUE musterminds reprint arti-
cles from the corporation-control-
led. press. attacking various strikes
by AFL unions. Quoted by the
IUE are these newspapers, all anti-
labor:
Boston’ Herald (Hearst); Cincin-
dati Times-Star; New York World-
Telegram (Scripps-Howard); Bing-
hamton Press; Duluth. News Tri-
bune; Cincinnati Post (Controlled
by Robert A. Taft); Salt Lake
City Telegram; Washington News;
and the N. Yo Daily New's (Me-
» Cotmick).
Here’s an example of the kind of
vicious’ propaganda that the IUE-
CIO thought was worth reprinting
from the Binghamton Press:
“Strikes of power workers which
cut off power to Kansas City for
hours in the middle of the night
raises the question of need for
specific legislation covering such
situations. eyo
“Lives were imperiled,. property
loss was incurred by the dis-
ruption of power service for the
community of 550,000 persons. . ..”
However, this. anti-union propa-
ganda back-fired on the IUE-CIO.
Ratheon workers became complete-
ly disgusted and forced Carey .to
quit his raid for lack of support.
But, the real kicker is still to
come, In announcing that the IU

1/2 tsp vanilla ~
This recipe may also be the basis of peach, pineapple or
banana ice cream. In making these, omit vanilla. For peach
ice cream, add 3/4 cup crushed fresh peaches, sweetened with
1/4 cup sugar. For pineapple ice cream, add canned crushed
pineapple. Yor banana ice cream, add 1 cup mashed bananas ,
(about 3 bananas). Fold in fruit last, just before freezing.
DASHER-FREEZER USE
If you prefer real ice cream and don’t have an electric
freezer, get out the old dasher-freezer. The Agriculture De-
partment has the following suggestions for easy, efficient
‘freezing:
1. The freezer should be steady when turning the crank
to make the job easy. It may clamped on a bench or other
steady surface.
2 Thoroughly cool the ice cream or sherbet mixture
after it is prepared. If possible, keep it in the refrigerator a
few hours or even overnight before freezing to improve both
texture and flavor.
3. To freeze the usual 2-quart batch, use about 6 pounds
of crushed ice and one of rock salt or common table salt.
After packing in the ice and salt, pour in a pint of cold water.
This starts dissolving the salt, which hastens the melting of
the ice and thus gets the freezing off to a fast start,
4. Turn the freezer crank. slowly at first, faster when it
begins to turn a little harder. The mix is;frozen when it feels
- stiff—that is, when the crank becomes difficult to turn.
5... Then remove the dasher and pack the freezer with a
mixture of crushed ice and salt—about 1 part salt to 8 parts
ice by weight. Place'a heavy cloth over the freezer and allow
to stand until. served, about 2 hours for best flavor and texture.
