Jerry Holleman Well
Pleased with Label Booth
Jerry Holleman, executive secre-
tary of the Texaa State Federation
of Labor was a visitor last week to
the Union Label Booth at the State
Fair of Texas. Mrs J. H. (Red) Wil-
liams of the San Antonio Ladies
Typographical Auxiliary, who was in
charge of the booth, quoted Mr
Holleman m saying he was "well
pleased and already making plans for
a bigger and better one for 1955

Ingenuity at State Fair
Out there at the fair they had a
plastic pipe some six Inches In diam-
eter which went up slanting through
the roof. It was an ingentous closed
thoroughfare for a hive of honey bees,
who were busy plying their trade of
the gathering, transporting and man-
ufacturing of honey Thia waa all
done under glass and clear plastic ao
that they could be observed by the
fair visitors, who — by the way-
showed quite a bit of interest
The exhibit was quite good but the
workers hsd a terrific traffic prob-
lem. They solved this by gently
crawling over each other to unused
stalls where they spun out the nectar
into comb and honey. Their coopera-
tion and industry would be quite
worthy of unionism, were they hu-
mans, instead of insects.

precinct offices.
The opponents were against this
rule because they believe it would
give those who prove to te incompe-
tent officials too much of an oppor-
tunity to mismanage the affairs ot
the people during the 4-year terms.
Also this amendment would not
stop the holding elections everz two
years since soma at the officers
would be “up every two years on the
basis of the staggered rules eat down
by the amendment.
No. 9, Cn—Ty Hospital Districte

ture to pass laws authorizing the

tricts in Dallas county and any oth-
ers having a population of 190,000 or
more people and to levy a hospital

amendment.
No. 10. Vote for Servicemen
The Texas Constiution does not per-
mit members of the Armed Forces
to vote. This amendment would make
it legal for them to pay poll taxes or
receive exemptions in their home
counties provided they were qualified
and vote as citizens of that county
even though in the service at their
country
All people we interviewed were
for this one.
No. 11, Concerning Small Counties
This amendment permits counties
of 10,000 population or less to create
the office of tax assessor-collector
and elect him along with other of-
ficers. At present the sheriff, by
law, la tax-assessor-collector in these
small counties. T----
Most people interviewed were for
right of the smaller counties to have
this office if they wanted it: there-
fore they were in favor of the 11th
and last amendment to be voted upon
Tuesday, Nov. 2nd.
The Dallas County Clerk's office
reported that there were not very
many people voting absentee ballots
up until Oct. 20th, but at that time
they pointed out that there are nine
more days for costing an absentee
vote.

No. 4, Transfer Excess Confederate
Pension Fends
This amendment calls for trans-
ferring the excess Contederate Pen-
slon funds not needed for payment to
the confederate veterans or their
widows to a State Building Commis-
sion—which comission ths amendment
would create.
Ths opponents, while about numer-
ically half of those interviewed were
quite vociferously against this move
They said emphatically. "Leave the
soldier’s money where it to; if they’ve
got too much give it to the veterans
of Spanish American war; then when
they die, to the World War vets, ate."
Those for this amendment, however
say that it thia surplus is given to

vide enough new buildings to save

Final negotiations for the schedu-
Ung in June, 1956, were completed
last week by Executive Secretary
Jerry Holleman and District First
Vice President Perry Leigon follow-
ing the decision of the executive
board in early October to bring the
convention to Austin in 1956.
Dallas already had been selected
as the 1955 convention city by action
of the Corpus Christi convention last
June, That convention turned over
to the executive board the power
to select future convention cities
At the board meeting Oct. 9, bids
for the 1956 convention were present,

Those interviewed were mostly for
this amendment. Some were for pay
raises for the solons, but did not want
the legislature to have another politi-

However, It waa found that some
bodies in interest of general welfare
thought this a good amendment

Owned Turnpikes
This amendment prohibits the.use
or lending of any public or State
funds in any manner. in the buitding

pikes in the State of Texas.
Most people were for prohibiting
(forbidding) State funds being used
in connection with privately owned
toll roads or turnpikes
No. 7, Women On Juries
This amendment would require
women to serve on juries.
We talked it over with quite a
few people on this. Some of them
said they just didn’t know whether
they were for or against it. Some
said they were for it.
One opponent said “I am against
women serving on the juries. They

dispute of the Boilermakers’ Union
with their employers involved not
only the wages concerned, but also a
welfare fund. W. A. jackson, busi-
new agent of Local No. 21, Asbestos

Insurance Policy which covers mem-
bers of the Asbestos Union is one
of the best welfare plans

reporter he said, "The Bollermakers
won a 7% cent increase which is
very nice tor their welfare: and
they also won a like amount salary

He showed that during the first
IS months of operation there have
been 230 claims paid by that com-
pany to members of Local No. 21
There is also a backlog of several
claims pending settlement
These claims have varied consid-
erably since the welfare plan was
begun There have been payments

the same motions in perfect time
with him. After they were both
acting in perfect unison, the change
would be made without losing a
stroke or changing the time. It was
pointed out that once first aid had
started, it was vital to continue at
the same pace without change. The
thirty minutes alloted to each sta-

ing the other stations, so we did not
get to see the other manner of emer-
gency first aid.
The Dallas Power and Light Com-
pany had a specially built trailer with
many gadgets to give first aid to
people who had been shocked by
electricity. The lecturer at this sta-
tion reported that in case a truck

tor was perfectly safe if re did not
move from the cab of the rig. He
said that if the operator of the crane
should get off on the ground, h® would

There is an electric safety signal
that can be attached to a crane that

There was a station demonstrated
different kinds of scaffolds and lad-
ders The safe and unsafe types of
these were shown. It was pointed
out that a movable scaffold with only
two legs on th® ground and one end
braced against a building, would not

It might slip and fall. The proper

There waa a big truck crane at

cranes was given by Mr. Oldt, the
owner. He had a truck by with a ra-

Mr. Oldt explained that he had al-

There was a station, entitled "Good
Housekeeping.’ The lecturer told
about the various hazards on con-
struction work, more especially a job
littered up with rubbish to stumble
over and nails upturned into work-
men’s feet. There was a question and
answer period at this station about
how to prevent accidents on the job.

Ten labor representatives from
Greece have been in Dallas this week
on one stop of a two-month tour of
the United States studying the ap-
prenticeship training program at the
various craft® under the auspice® of
the U. S. Department of Labor, bu-
reau of apprenticeship.
It is part of United States Foreign
policy to give technical assistance to
other countries to improve their in-
dustril skills and knowledge.
These Grecians have had Jake
Goodell, field representative of the
Bureau of Apprenticeship In Dallas,
as official conductor of their tour
in the Dallas area.
They have visited the new Statler
Hotel and several other construc-
tion projects where they talked with
representatives of management and
labor as well as a number of ap-
prentices in the different construc-
tion trades.
They met Wednesday in Mr. Good-
ell’® office at 1114 Commerce Street
to discuss various phases of the Ap-
prenticeship training i n Dallas.
Among those in the discussion were
Cleve Culpepper, state director of the
U. S. Bureau of Apprenticeship, A. J.
Christian, member of the State Coun-
Linderman and Constitution Party
nominee, E. E. Wells.

cinct No. 4.
AU the other offices are unop-
posed but there is a write-in Party
available.
The eleven amendments are very
important thia year. Some people
believe they all need the support of
the people and should be voted for.
However, many more are opposed
to various ones for different rear
sons. These amendments are dis-
cumsed as they appear on the ballot
consecutively No. 1 being first and
No. 11 being last.
No. 1, Raising Welfare Ceiling
After talking to numbers of sec-
retaries, business agents and other
leaders in organized labor, we found
nona of them willing to say they op-
posed this amendment. It calls for
adding *7,000,000 per year to the
*35,000,000 making a total of 242
000,000 per year welfare expenditure.
It is based on the needs of aged
persons (06 years or older), needy
blind over 21; and needy children un-
der 10 years at age.

as a teacher and as a State employ-
ee. And some State employees have

plan set up and paid into by the
teachers and State employees This
permits the retirement amounts to
be credited to the teacher and-or
State employee no matter in which
capacity they have worked under
their respective retirement programs.
The concensus of opinion found no
opponents to the exchange since the
benefits belonged to the teachers and-
or State employee to begin with...
No. 3. Broadening Social Security
This amendment calls for author-
izing the legislature to provide
belong at home, rearing their chu-
dren and attending to the duties at
a housewife and mother."
We carried a private poll around
to the ladies who are secretaries in
the various union offices in the La-
bor Temple. We do not know how
any one of them voted individually
since it was by secret ballot. But
the outcome was 2 to 1 for women
serving on juries. Hence, in so far
as ths women vote is concerned,
perhaps quits a few will be for this
particular amendment Most of
those on this private poll an married
and all of them have a good many
years services as secretaries in their
offices.
