With the low rents in Vatican apartments and the rock-bottom prices at Vatican City stores, this will give the Vatican citizen a considerable advantage over his Italian peer. A Grade 10 clerk in any Italian ministry, for instance, earns about $104 a month, minus about $11.20 deducted for taxes and social security. His Vatican opposite number will presumably get $147.20 a month without deductions, will pay 20% to 50% less for food and clothes...
...approve the constitution on such short notice would postpone its going into effect at least until the summer of 1963-General Synods meet only at two-year intervals. But the Oberlin meeting decided to reconvene for a special session next July to vote on the constitution. This would give the Congregationalist and E. & R. church members a year to ratify the constitution, which could then be put into effect by the third General Synod...
...already brought about a dramatic and significant change in the climate of U.S. labor relations. For the first time in 23 years, the nation's third most powerful union (after the teamsters and the autoworkers) had run-to its shocked surprise -into a stone wall. After years of giving in to union demands for wage raises, the steel industry this year met labor with a hard new line, refused right up to this week to give the union a penny that would raise overall wage costs...
Management was willing to make some concessions, but only in return for others on the union's part. Many in and out of the industry felt that the companies were willing to give perhaps 10? an hour (TIME, June 29) if the union permitted them to reclassify jobs, eliminate featherbedding to take full advantage of automation, make other changes to improve efficiency. Such an exchange, the industry figured, would not boost overall payroll costs, thus causing a rise in steel prices. But the union rejected the swap, arguing that management's talk of featherbedding was "pure, unadulterated bunk...
...still be there as a clamoring market for steel once a strike was over. Steelmen also counted on the fact that U.S. steelworkers, already the highest paid of the Big Three unions, are aware that a wage-and-price boost might bring more inflation to nullify a pay rise, give a boost to foreign competition, and eventually cost jobs in the mills. The most remarkable point of a new Gallup poll out this week is not that 51% of those polled said that steelworkers should get no pay raise, but that 40% of the families of union members felt...
