night, Oct. 9, to furnish two full
time members to work with the

The action took place at their
regular October meeting, held in

Sorry I missed the last few

nicely with 72 boys enrolled at

good setup this year along these
lines. However, will need ten or

against "ambulatory picketing” of
the company trucks, reported this
week that such picketing has been
mad legal by the supreme court of
Texas.
In a decision rendered Wednes-

ruled that "roving pickets may fol-

which will help the employee’s

the plant operations are curtailed
when style changes are made by
the company. In the past year,

of such a clause.”
The union is requesting a 15c

shop, has become the second DTC
employee to win a top award of
$100 cash for a suggestion since
the company’s Suggestion Plan
was inaugurated last winter.
Heathcock’s suggestion, now in
effect, calls for removal of rear
wheel oil seal inrer parts and oil
seal wipers on the company’s 300-
series twin coaches and replacing
them with less-expensive rear
wheel oil seal parts identical to
those now used on DTC 400-series
and 900-series coaches as a preven-

Forty-Third tear. No. 11 D
Washington.—Publishers in New
York City are refusing to bargain
on new contracts as part of a
"larger program of obstruction”
fostered by the American News-
paper Publishers Association and
its affiliates, the Newspaper Guild
Executive Board charged at its
quarterly meeting here.
The New York Newspaper
Guild’s contracts with seven daily
newspapers expire Oct. 31, and the
local has adopted a policy of “no
improved contract, no work.” The
ANG Executive Board pledged its
full support in the local's fight to
gain satisfactory renewals.
It to also noted that whereas in
the past the. New York dallies
have “ostensibly” negotiated sep-
arately, “this year they have open-
ly joined forces against the Guild,
with each publisher represented
at every other publisher’s meet-
ings with the Guild.”
.It condemned the publishers for
"persistently and arrogantly re-
fusing to bargain on the contract
proposals submitted in all good
faith by the Guild.”
“Instead,” it continued, “they

Local 893 Awards
Lapel Pins to Ten
In the plantwide organization-
al drive held recently by members
of Local No. 893, UAW Chance-
Vought Workers Union, there were
te participants who emerged with
the most number of new members,
Roy Evans, president, reported
this week. ■
AFL-CIO lapel pins were award-
ed to those who signed up five
or more new members. Although
87 persons were on the list of those
signing up new members during
the September drive which added
370 names to the membership of
Local No. 893.
W. E. Johnson with 55 new
members, and W. R Sadler with
31 were the winners of a golden
ring for being first and second
in the drive.

these people with one in opposl- E
tion to endorsement and that from E
Vice President John R. Stevenson EE
of the United Brotherhood of Car-
penters who stated his organize- ■
tion would not endorse any candi-
date for office.
We’re doing fairly well on the
COP dollar contribution drive,
tut will have to go some to equal
or better the contributions of just
four families in the '52 election:
Pew, Dupont, Rockefeller, and
Mellon. I feel sure these people
will do as well or better than they
did in the last general election
year, ao let’s all get a ticket (at
least one) in the Stevenson-Ke-
fauver Club!
