over half of our senior citizens
who are eligible for exemptions

is just no explanation. This year

three weeks ago and had to get a

We regret to report that Bro.
T. L. Allumbaugh died in a local
hospital last Saturday afternoon.
He had been ill for many months
and had received many, many-
blood transfusions. Bro. Allum-
baugh joined the Brotherhood at
Paris, Texas, in 1942. He trans-
ferred to our local in 1952. He was
a loyal member and active in the
church, until he was stricken with
the blood ailment. He leaves a
host of friends who extend to the
family their heartfelt sympathy in
the loss of their loved one.
This is the last opportunity we
will have to urge everyone of the
necessity of securing a poll tax

and breadth of its “long continued
willful conspiratorial activities in'
the heavy electrical equipment in-
dustry” demonstrate the need for
a blanket order.
The Justice Department said GE
has been involved in 39 anti-trust
actions, more than any other com-
pany, 36 since 1941. The results
show 29 convictions, seven consent
decrees and three adverse findings
by the Federal Trade Commission.
In view of this record, the de-
partment said, the public is "en-
titled” a broad injunction against
GE "without waiting for it to en-
gage in additional conspiracies.”
In a related development, GE
and Westinghouse dropped their
fight against subpoenas issued by
the Senate Anti-Trust sub-com-
mittee headed by Sen. Estes Ke-
fauver (O-Tenn.) and turned-over
price records requested by the sub-
committee. The top officers of
GE and Westinghouse — Ralph
Cordiner and Mark Cresap, re-
spectively—were named in the
subpoenas and could have faced
contempt charges had the records
not been produced.
N.Y. Labor buds Wagner
For New Minimum Wage
New York.—Officers of, the
City Central Labor Counoil have
praised Mayor Robert F. Wagner
(D) for his “social Vision” in
sponsoring the naition's first mu-
nicipal ordinance requiring em-
ployers doing business with the
city to pay their workers $1.50
an hour or more.
Council President Harry Van
Arsdale, Jr., and Sec. Morris Iush-
ewitz said the mayor’s action in
signing the new law was a
‘ pioneering step” in the history
of New York labor, insuring that
goods and services purchased by
the city “will not come from
sweatshops” but from firms pay-
ing decent wage minimums ’ and
for products produced under de-
cent conditions.
At a hearing in City Hall, the
new wage minimum was opposed
by spokesmen for the Building
Trades Association, General Con-
tractors Association, the New
York Congress, the Real Estate
Board and the laundry industry.
City officials estimated about
60,000 workers will be affected.
The city's 250,000 civil service
workers already were covered by
the $1.50 minimum.

One and a Half Million Life Savers
Unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO have already distributed 1,500,-
000 educational pamphlets about cancer, it was reported by Miehael
Johnson, director of labor activities of the Eleanor Roosevelt Cancer
Foundation, affiliated with the American Cancer Society. The pam-
phlets are aimed at saving lives through spreading knowledge of can-
cer’s seven danger signals and the need for regular annual medical
examinations. ' ‛ .t '
The pamphlet distribution is part of the Foundation’s effort with
the American Society, to save the lives of two and one-half million
members of the labor force who are otherwise destined to needlessly
succumb to cancer. Johnson said that the co-operation of trade union
leadership throughout the country could result in"aving the lives of
one of every two cancer sufferers, instead of the current ratio of one
of every three.
These. pamphlets have been prepared by the medical authorities of
the American Cancer Society and imprinted for Labor's March on
Cancer. They are being furnished free in bulk orders either to inter-
national unions or local affiliates and auxiliaries.
. Orders have come in from the entire country and even from lands
beyond the seas. The General Secretary at the Malayan Trades
Union Congress who attended the AFL-CIO convention as a fraternal
representative ordered the life-saving literature for his members.
Readers of the AFL-CIO News and other labor papers now residing
in India, Israel and Mexico ordered copies.
. Mrs. Johnson said adequate supplies are available for all unions and
can be ordered—without charge—directly from'the Eleanor Roosevelt
Cancer Foundation. The three pamphlets are entitled:
Cancer Facts for Women; Cancer Facts for Men; What Most People
Don’t Know Abeut€ancer.
These may be ordered from The Eleanor Roosevelt Cancer Founda-
tion, Inc., 521 West 57th Street, New York 19, New York.

TEC Urged to Reduce High
Disqualifications Amount
THE DALLAS CRAFTSMAN^
. Washington.—The Justice De-
rartnzent has stepped up its driye
againt price-fixing1 in the electri-
cal equipment industry with an in-
dictment of 10 electrical parts-
suppliers on criminal anti-trust
charges and a request for a sweep-
ing court order forbidding the
General Electric Company from
every violating anti-trust laws in
eny field in which it does business.
A federal grand jury in Dayton,
O., handed down an indictment
8harging a price-fixing conspiracy
which began in 1955 and continued
into 1961. If the charges are sub-
stantiated, it would appear the
firms were undeterred by the in-
dictment and sentencing of the in-
dustry’s biggest companies in a
mass anti-trust trial at Philadel-
phia.
One of the firms indicted at Day-
ton the Allen-Bradley Co.—was
also a def endan t in the earlier case.
Others indicted at Dayton were the
Aerovox Corp., Indiana General
Corp., Stackpole Carbon Co., Int’l
Resistance Co., Electra Mfg Co.,
Texas Instruments, Inc., Claro-
state Mfg Co., Dale Products, Inc.,
Daystrom, Inc., and nine individual
officials of seven of the firms.
AUSTIN.—Labor members of
the Texas Employment Commis-
sion's Advisory Council have rec-
ommended that the Commission
work "to reduce the high percen-
tage of disqualifications” of un-
employed workers seeking unem-
ployment compensation.
The Commission recently re-
ported that in its fiscal year end-
ing last August 31, it received
337,757 applications for unemploy-
ment compensation, but disquali-
fied, wholly or partially, 155,779
of these. .
Texas AFL-CIO President Hank
Brown, a member of the advisory
body, has publicly criticized the
qualification policies of the Com-
missibn.
The labor advisors made three
additional recommendations to the
Commission, in a meeting with
Commissioner J. E. Lyles, These
were;
