Page 10 — April 7, 1945 When members of Local 1296, United Bro. of Carpenters (AFL), in San Diego, Calif., called the late Tom Tarpley “brother,” it was more than just a form of salutation. Tom died last April and his widow and three children, left in straightened circumstances, had to live in a tent on a Iot in sub- urban El Cajen, where Tom had hoped one-day to build them a home. His union brothers heard of Mrs. Tarpley’s troubles, and new they are spending their weekends building her a home, free of charge. Their district council, joined in, getting priorities and the help of the Federal Housing Administration. Every Sunday there’s a home-building bee and fried chicken picnic, as the house goes up. Bottom left: Mrs. Tarpley and her tent; background, the new home. Bettom out for fried chicken. Top: Time right: Mrs. Tarpley, one of her boys, and the pup, who’s getting a new doghouse, too. British Unions Demand Public ~ Ownership Of Coal Industry LONDON—Added ammunition for the demand of the British labor movement that coal mines be brought under public owner- ship is contained in a lengthy re- port on British coal mining com- piled by the Ministry of Fuel’s Technical Advisory Committee and made public here recently. “Employers as a body have been abandoned to traditional individualism,” the report de- clares. “In relation to their own undertakings the short view has too often prevailed. “British mining engineers have often been handicapped by this short-term view and have not us- ually enjoyed the technical inde- pendence evidently allowed to mining engineers on the Contin- ent.” The fact that Britain’s mines have been in private hands, the report contihues, “has often resulted in unduly small, awkwardly shaped leaseholds” whiéh have caused “an excessive number of mines with an insuffi- -cient capacity for the require- ments of the best mining prac- tices and inadequate attention to the conservation of national re- sources.” In addition to recommending drastic technical changes, the report expresses the view that to achieve the essential com- prehensive scheme of Treor- ganization “the existence of an authority endowed by par- liament with really effective powers is a cardinal necessity,” This view sharply conflicts with the plan recently propos- ed by mine owners. for a Cen- iral Coal Board consisting en- tirely. of managerial interests. The report also advocates a 40-hour week, stating: “We are satisfied that there is a strong case on technical grounds alone for the adoption of a five-day ,working week and eight hours |per shift for underground work- ers.” Declaring that the question of wages is of vital importance to the attainment of full techical efficiency, the report concludes: “Wages for underground work- ers should be at least as high as other industries demanding an equal degree of skill and effort.” /MAGAZINES |.
