Since pay in manufacturing even today at $64 a week, highest ever, is far below $5744, evidently “en- terprisers” must be making far, fay more .than the average to bring per capita income up to $1436. TUC HELPS COLONIES Britains Trade Union Congress voted £27,000 last year to aid the new trade union organizations of British colonies with such prac- tical gifts as typewriters, office filing cabinets, duplicating ma- chines, stationery and ledgers. Shipments have already gone to Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, British Guiana, British Honduras, the Gold Coast, and Sierra Leone. Further requests are being met for small libraries on social and economic subjects, and also for more elaborate equipment such as film projectors and loudspeaker sets.

This is the conclusion of a recent study conducted by the Federal Depart- ment of Labor. It shows that most of those leaving went to the U.S., and that most of them came from our most productive age groups, our most highly- trained trade and professional groups. es Sixty perccat of those leaving were between 20 and. 49 years old. Forty percent were skilled workers and professional men, a group which makes up only 20% of our population. ICFTU LIGHT IN DARK AFRICA LONDON (CPA) — A centre for Trade Union activity in West and Central Africa is to be estab- lished_in Accra, capital of the Gold Coast, a largely self-govern- ing British colony, according to “Labour”, publication of the Brit- ish Trade Union Congress. The Centre will operate under the auspices of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and will work with Trade Unionists in French as well as British territory. Thus ICFTU representatives will find them- selves assisting non-Communist “Force Ouvriere” unions in Sene- gal ‘and Dakar as well as the TUC-sponsored workers’ organi-. zations in the British Colonies, including the 58,000 member un- ion movement in the Gold Coast itself. Similar centres have already been established in, Asia, Europe and the Americas. MUFFLED. .

His throat is go sore he can hardly speak Eng- ish,” Gov’t By Lobby WASHINGTON (LPA)— The major part of the $4.2 million reported spent on lobbying in the first 6 months of 1951 was spent by big business, according to re- ports filed with Congress. They got their money’s worth, in the lowered taxes on corporations, in the loopholes on price controls. Programs to help the people got nowhere. Biggest spender was ‘the American Farm Bureau Fed- eration, with $415,812. Next came the American Medical Associa- tion, with $288,234. ATTEND YOUR UNION 332 Carrall Se.
