which have been affected by de-
clining auto industry employment,
meting in Detroit with Gov. G.
Mennen Williams (D., Mich.) and
UAW officials, set up a committee
to plan an action program Tor
presentation ' to Eisenhower and
congressional leaders. UAW Pres.
Walter P. Reuther is among the
members.
Union proposals offered the De-
troit conference, in addition to
steps to increase purchasing power
generally, included cuts on auto
prices during periods of slack de-
mand to help level off both pro-
duction and employment. The in-
dustry didn’t seem to like the idea.

Hoisting and Portable
Engineers Local No. 714
Washington.—The AFL-CIO re-
peated its earlier request before
the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy that the hazards of atomic
radiation be subjected to “immedi-
ate public investigation.”
Af&-CIO Legislative Rep. An-
drew J. Biemiller told the commit-
tee that "no activity of this Con-
gress is more fundamentally im-
portant to the future well-being of
the human race."
"Existing legislation," he said,
"does not adequately protect either
the workers in the plant who have
already had extensive damage, the
members of the community who
have been inadvertently exposed,
nor the potential victims of acci-
dent or chance association dam-
age."
The AFL-CIO spokesman charg-
ed that present standards fail to
meet recommendations of the Na-
tional Acamedy of Standards and
other experts for safety, and de-
clared that " are concerned not
only for our own members but for
the community as a whole ”
“With federal ownership of all
special nuclear material and fed-
eral control of this entire industry
under the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, federal responsibility for
subsequent developments are great.
New methods of protection against
harmful radiation are essential,”
Biemiller declared.

C. F. Key was elected presi-
dent of the local at our recent
election meeting. Most of the oth-
er officers were elected by accla-
mation. Basil Black was elected
vice president; Raymond Davis,
treasurer; E. B. Fallwell, record-
ing secretary.
In a contested race between J.
B. King and Harry Meanor, the
balloting was in favor of Bro.
Meanor to retain the post of bus-
iness agent, which he has held for
the past year.
Bro. Meanor and Mrs. Meanor
have returned from a vacation in
California where they visited their
son and grandchildren in Clair-
mont, Calif.
He said he found the local in
good shape and hoped to place
all his men on the job before long.
He spent this week in Austin as a
delegate to the Texas State Feder-
atio nof Labor.
At our first meeting in July we
would like to have all the members
to turn out to decide on a new
wage scale which will come up
in the forthcoming negotiations.
Everyone I’ve talked to in the
labor - circles this past week is
making plans to attend the con-
ventions in Austin this week and
next. Seems like just everybody
is going. Me? Yes Siree! You
can just bet your boots and Stet-
son that I’ll be there.

183,000, one of the largest Aprl-
to-May jumps since World War II.
With auto employment almost
200,000 less than at the beginning
of the year, manufacturing em-
ployment dropped by 120,000 to
16.6 million.
A later special report on auto
industry employment by the Labor
Dept, showed that lay-offs had
reached 210,000 on June 2, an in-
crease of 25,000 in one week. The
weekly jump was the sharpest in
more than three months.
Meantime, additional lay-offs
threatened other sectors of the
Auto Workers’ jurisdiction.
The International Harvester
Co. announced it will reduce em-
ployment at its tractor and farm
implement plants by 2,380 in June.
The company laid off 1,251 workers
in these two departments during
May, but total employment on
June 1 stood at 55,712, an increase
of 199 over a year ago, because of
additional jobs in other depart-
ments.
down-graded, with furloughs or de-
motions continuing at the rate of
about 600 a month.
The union has urged Pres.
Eisenhower, Sec. . of Defense
Charles S. Wilson, Sec. of the Air
Force Donald Quarles and the
California congressional delega-
tion from affected areas that “all
avenues of possible relief be
thoroughly explored which might
correct this situation."
The mayors of 43 cities in Mici-
gan, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin
showed a small increase, the com-
bined report of the Labor and
Comnserce Department showed.
The number of people with jobs
was 65,238,000 compared with
63,990,094 in April, according to
the Commerce Department’s Cen-
sus Bureau, thanks to the “usual
large expansion” in agriculture
and a “sizeable gain” in construc-
tion.
The one-month jump was 1.2
million and the increase over May
1955 was 2.5 million. The record
high of 65.5 million was establish-
ed last summer.
Unemployment, on the other
hand, increased 44,000 in the
month, from 2,564,000 in April to
2,608,000 in May. The report at-
tributed the failure to register the
usual drop to the fact that stu-
dents started looking for summer
or post-graduate jobs earlier than
usual, and to continued lay-offs of
auto workers and other factory
employes.
Total farm employment, the
reports showed, increased by about
800,000 to an estimated seven
million, while total on-farm em-
ployment jumped by nearly 500,-
000 to 58 million, the Census Bu-
