Truck Drivers Strike
Morgan Express Go.
Members of the Teamster’s Local
No. 745, who are truck drivers for
Morgan Express Company have been
called out on strike because the com-
pany refused to negotiate a contract,
James Lacy, president, has announced.
This strike affects employees in Dal-
las, Fort Worth, Wichita Falls and
Abilene.
Mr. Lacy said that Local No. 745 has
tried many times to negotiate with
the Morgan Company.

In other words, the tax would be cut
on some items and added on to others,
so that the consumer wouldn’t actually
be paying any more taxes.

DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
Despite the cry, that high taxes are “ruining” business and
that they should be repealed, corporations issuing public reports
—about two-thirds of all corporations—paid their stockholders
almost $200 million more during the first eight months of this
year than the similar period of 1952. That represents an in-
crease of four percent and total dividends of $4.8 billion.

The Bakery Workers held an Exec-
utive Board meeting Saturday, October
3. We have not held a regular meet-
ing during August and September.
This was a special called session to
take care of important matters which
happened during that time. The mem-
bers want Curtis Meade to continue
to negotiate and handle grievances,
and be in charge of arbitration cases
for Local No, 111. Curtis Meade’s
work with No. Ill has been very
satisfactory with the members and
as it does not interfere with his job
with the Cracker Workers, the board
discussed the idea of combining the
executive offices of Local No. ill
and No. 324. This will put both locals
in one office. This, if it can be ar-
ranged, would be a good move and
help both locals in many ways. We
will not have another regular meet-
ing until after the Fair..
Heard on a TV commercial about a
new dough mixer for the bakeries.

The past week was a very busy
week around the office, with most of
the men being sent out by the last of
the week. However, last Friday must
have been black Friday, for Monday
morning we had an unusual large
amount of men around the office, most
of which were layed off Friday.
We have been fortunate in getting
a larger amount of work in the Fair
Grounds this year, with all the work
in the automobile building being done
with our men. All but two jobs in
the science building ok, one of these
being a job by one of our ex-members
that got his job on the strength of
being a union carpenter then as many
others have done, as soon as he got
the job went suspended from the local
for non-payment of dues. This is
one of the things your secretary has
never been able,to understand.
—Hal C. Dyer has started the school
job adjacent to the West Dallas Hous-
ing Project, a $900,000 job with John-
nie Cardwell superintendent. Ortis
and Hughes have started the large
service station 1130 North Industrial
Boulevard with L. E. Nuckels the
superintendent.
New jobs reported this week were:
Bock Construction Company low bid-
der on (Employees Center at the
Ruboroid plant at $92,006. Th© con-
tract is expected to be awarded this
week. They are also low bidder on
the office and warehouse at Dyer and
Central Boulevard. The Crain Com-
pany have started a $75,500 residence
at 3831 Windsor Lane.
According to the local press the
ground breaking ceremony for the
Statler Hotel will be held this week
and we assume construction will be-
gin immediately with Bro. K. R. Sim-
mons the general superintendent.
May we again call your attention
that you are entitled to receive free
the Carpenter magazine published by
our General Office. If you are not
receiving it call our office and get
on the mailing list.
The financial secretary will not be
in the office Saturday due to the dis-
trict meeting and would suggest, that
as Mrs. Wilson will be very busy,
and it will help it as many as will, wait
until Monday night to pay dues or
attend to business with the local.
Next Meeting, Monday, October 12,
Brotherhood night. $45.00 in attend-
ance prize.
‘DEATH OF A SALESMAN’
Vice President Richard M. Nixon proved a better messenger
than a salesman for the Eisenhower Administration when he
made a personal appearance at the AFL convention.
The Vice President delivered the President’s message to the
delegates on time, but the timing of his own message was away
off when he attempted to sell soft political soap to the as-
semblage.
Out of respect for his office, the delegates at first gave Nixon
a courteous reception. But his sales-talk boomeranged. And
when he said that if this Administration serves the interest of
the greedy few to the detriment of the many “it will deserve to
lose” the next election, his words were greeted with a trem-
dous but disconcerting cheer. \
The delegates, listening to an extemporaneous speech with
close attention, demonstrated a high order of political intelli-
gence when Nixon tried to discount the Eisenhower-Durkin break
as a mere ‘misunderstanding” between two honorable men. The
wave of mocking laughter which greeted that imposture was a
complete answer to the brash young man who holds the office of
Vice President. *
But Nixon, himself, gave away the hypocricy—to put it mild-
ly—of the White House position, when he admitted that there
was a Presidential message to Congress on the Taft-Hartley
amendments and asserted that his only connection with it was
as regards “timing.” In other words, he urged it be held up be-
cause of Senator Taft’s death.
Thus, Nixon inadvertently gave himself and the President
away and fully confirmed the truth of -Martin P. Durkin’s
charges that the President had broken an agreement to submit
this message to Congress as the Administration’s position on
Taft-Hartley changes.

about “no more income." PrrEEttt:
And what is the difference between
a retail sales tax and a manufactur-
ers’ sales tax? When you pay the re-
tail sales tax, you know you’re paying
it because it’s usually added on to
your purchase price right there in
front of you. When you pay a manu-
facturers’ sales tax, it’s added on at
the top by the manufacturer, who
probably figures his profit margin on
top of the tax. You don’t know how
much you’re paying because it’s all
lumped in with the sales price—with
the wholesaler and retailer also prob-
ably figuring in their mark-ups on the
basis of the tax-inflated price.
So you see it’s all just a matter of
give-and-take: give the big taxpayers
and corporations a tax,cut and take
the money out of the pockets of the
consumers who are supposed to be
fooled into thinking they’re saving
money.
Our guess is that the American peo-
ple aren’t as dumb as the business

a hunch that Ike himself has found
out that he ean’t allow the cut in
excess profits taxes and income taxes
(which will benefit largely the high-
bracket taxpayers) to take effect with-
out turning around and picking up the
money somewhere else, preferably
with a manufacturers’ sales tax
(which will mean that the low-bracket
folks will wind up getting a tax in-
crease instead of a decrease).
Anyway, now comes the President
himself disavowing the retail sales
tax. His administration has no in-
tention of proposing a retail sales
tax, he told reporters, but he did not
rule out the possibility of a “manu-
facturers’ evcise tax." But Ike ap-
parently hadn’t been reading the Dal-
las News and that business about no
more income. He said new taxes would
be necessary to offset reduction of in-
come taxes and elimination of the ex-
cess profits tax scheduled for Janu-
ary 1.
So what happened to the News’ line

business . talk about the proposed
national sales tax is amazing to behold,
but all of it is designed for one pur-
pose: to fool the American people
into thinking that a sales tax by
another name isn’t a sales tax. Busi*
ness and administration leaders don’t
seem to realize that a sales tax by
any other name still has a very bad
odor.
The sales tax battle, which threatens
to become a major issue in the next
Congressional session, started off in-
nocently enough with a few trial bal-
loons to test public reaction. The
first balloons talked about 10 per
cent retail sales taxes, but that talk
was just part of the conditioning ef-
fort. When people were properly
shocked at the idea of a 10 per cent
retail sales tax, the proponents backed
down a little from advocacy of some-
thing they knew they’d never get any-
way. The 10 per cent business was
just bargaining talk. So they cut the
percentage the name to "manufac-
turers tax.”
Even the Dallas Morning News at
first was a little aghast at the pro-
posals, condemning editorially the
levy of a sales tax as a hidden tax
which would just burden the con-
sumers.
"If we want to encourage economy
in government and stop inflation, we
must keep tax levies out in the open,”
the News declared.
But that was in May. By Septem-
ber, when the Democrats were be-
ginning to capitalize on the Republi-
can sales tax proposal, the News had
adopted the line that the proposed
tax wasn’t really anything new be-
cause all it was intended to do was
equalize manufacturing excise taxes.
It also began touting the line that it

STABILIZATION - UPWARDS
As Sen. Wayne Morse (Ind., Ore.) pointed out to the 72nd
annual AFL convention last week, President Eisenhower once
claimed that the higher interest rate on federal borrowing would
stabilize the value of the dollar.
But the latest figures of the Bureau of Labor Statistics show
that the cost of living has risen every single month since Eisen-
hower entered the White House, and on Aug. 15—the latest date
for which statistics are available—it stood at an all-time high.
On that date, the workingman and his wife had to pay $1.15
for the same goods and services which cost them only $1 in
1947-49.
The President, according to his political supporters, is a very,
very dedicated man. We hope he dedicates himself to reading
the dictionary and finding out what “stabilize” means. It cer-
tainly does not mean increasing living costs.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
The message which President Eisenhower sent to the AFL
convention in St. Louis was a disappointing document. It pro-
vided no specific answers to the big questions which labor is
asking with increasing intensity of the present Administration.
As Sen. Wayne Morse later told the delegates, the President’s
“mere enunciation of some high-schoolish platitudes is not pro-
ducing the same fervor of acceptance which he was able to stir
up during the campaign.”
In his message, the President said some kind words about
former Secretary of Labor Martin Durkin, but he completely
ignored the fact that he broke an agreement with Durkin on
specific amendments to the Taft-Hartley Act.
Instead, the President tried to make it appear that he had
never reached any final conclusions on changes in that law
and will not until Congress convenes next January.
Evasion and delay in meeting the basic issues of social and
economic justice face to face will not serve to increase the con-
fidence of American workers in this Administration.
