We want to remind you of our
regular meeting for June on Mon-
day, June 28, 7:30 p.m. At this
meeting it will be determined
whether delegates will be sent to
the Texas State Pipe Trades Con-
will probably be 50 to 75 painters
on the site at this time. Several
paint companies of the Dallas area
are supplying the materials. Bro.
Billups is the liaison man for the
Local on this project. We don’t
know his plans. We did hear
something mentioned about a bar-
rel of lemonade.
We learned last week that Bro.
Kenneth Foster suffered a heart
attack. Bro. Richard Beasley re-
ported that he is at home now
and doing better.
We want to remind the mem-
bers of the Election of Officers on
Saturday, June 27, 1970. This elec-
tion is to be held on the third
floor of the Labor Temple. The
polls open at 8:00 A.M. and close
at 3:30 P.M.
We are a little short of news
this week. As Bro. Ike Cole said
one time if you don’t have any
news, write some poetry. Not being
a poet we had to get something
from another paper.
This is to remind all of our
members that July 14, 1970, is a
Special Call Meeting, due to our
upcoming negotiations. We have
not met with our contractors yet,
but we are ready when and if
they notify us. We can get a
good contract if our members will
back us. This is what a union is
—people working together.
Our new officers are trustee,
Willis Rogers; warden, Jim Lynch,
and conductor James Light.

GRAND PRAIRIE
Washington.-The Nixon Ad-
minstration’s economic policies
came under sharp attack as the
nation continued in the grip of a
recession and evidence mounted of
a continuing downward movement.
The rising unemployment un-
checked inflation and the plung-
ing and erratic stock market all
brought new demands for changes
in policy to shore up the economy.
Top Democratic congressional
leaders said the Administration
was responsible for "an economic
crisis of major magnitude’ and
that its use of “archaic economic
policies” had brought on the
“worst inflation in 20 years.”
House Speaker John W. McCor-
mack, Majority Leader Carl Albert
and Senate Majority Leader Mike
Manafield called on the President
to summon a nationwide confer-
ence on inflation and unemploy-
ment and to adopt stand-by wage
and price controls. They called also
for use of wage and price guide-
lines as one step to slow living
costs.
The latest furor over the eco-
nomic situation came when the
Administration asked Congress to
increase the ceiling on the national
debt by $18 billion so the govern-
ment can borrow enough funds to
meet its current deficit—brought
on by a drop in the anticipated
annual rate of corporate profits
and a drop in corporate income
taxes.
The Administration’s bid was
approved by the House Ways and
Means Committee along with a re-
Withholding for Studenta and
Fart Time Worker*
The Tax Reform Act of 1969 is
helping thousands of Texas stu-
dents save time and trouble on
filing an income tax return this
year. This summer students who
will not owe any income tax for
the year can fill out the new With-
holding Exemption Certificate,
Form W-E. This authorizes their
employer to stop withholding tax
and they won’t have to file an in-
come tax return next January 1 to
get their money back. The/same
rule applies to some retired per-
sons and part-time workers. For
1970, a single person whmakes
less than $1,725 owes no tax. This
is based on the $1,100 low income
allowance and a personal exemp-
tion of $625. A taxpayer over 65
can earn wages up to $2,350 with-
out incurring a tax liability. If
you qualify, talk to your payroll
office, but you will not ordinarily !
qualify if you are married, due to i
the community property law in
Texas.

There was a resolution presented
at the last meeting, Thursday eve-
ning, June 11th. The purpose of
this meeting was to do away with
the Pension Plan A motion was
made to recess the meeting until
Thursday evening, June 25th at
which time we could take action
on this resolution after hearing
from the General Executive Board
as to the legality of the resolu-
tion. Chances are there will be
a good attendance at this meeting
so come early and get a good seat.
The members of Local No. 53

House dinner to discuss the financ-
I ial and other problems with 40 of
I the nation’s top business and fi-
nancial leaders.
Besides the debt limit bill which
I was headed for House action, a
I House Government Operations
sub-committee approved a meas-
port that the anticipated budget _
deficit would likely increase both
for fiscal 1970 and 1971. It touch-
ed off a sharp decline in the stock
market with the key Dow-Jones
index reaching the lowest point
since November 1962. The market
later bounced back with an up-
ward turn, but analysts warned
there was no assurance that the
bottom of the slump had been
reached.
Along with the stock market
decline came a report from the
Labor Dept, that the number of
major labor areas with substan-
tial or persistent unemployment
had increased to 11 in April 1970,
compared to eight the previous
month and a six a year ago.
Wholesale prices which had held
steady in April for the first time
in a year and one-half, moved up
again in May.
The Commerce Dept’s index of
eight leading indicators dropped
again, reaching the lowest level
since November 1968.
Interest rates on short-term
government bills and notes moved
upwards again after dropping
slightly in the past few months.
Meanwhile, key spokesmen for
the Administration on economic
policy defended their position in a
number of speeches and inter-
views, maintaining in general that
the policies were working, would
take more time and produce some
“pain” before the inflationary
trends were stopped.
