...decide whether organized labor should unite in urging federal courts to declare the freeze unconstitutional. Most felt that that would be useless, but at least six unions later decided to sue on their own. Although the freeze has ended, the court arguments have not. Last week the Amalgamated Meat Cutters asked the Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision that the freeze was indeed constitutional and that the butchers therefore could not collect retroactively a raise of 250 an hour that had been due from meat packers on Sept. 6. The union's legal plea could...
...segregation. I was placed here early Sunday morning. The charges against me are completely untrue. I'm neither surprised nor discouraged. I welcome their attempts to intimidate and harass me--it can't be done. God how these people hate me: I went before the discipline board (the human meat grinder) and requested my rights as a citizen of the U.S..

...vertical storage system designed by Sailing Master Walter Everett will revolutionize boat handling. When financed and installed the overhead meat rack rail will be able to place into storage forty-five boats in a space that previously would only hold twelve. Even though $20,000 is still badly needed to purchase the machinery, it is estimated that this new system will save $70,000 in construction costs alone. Bemis said of the new simplicity of boat handling. "One man can launch or haul and store a boat unaided, and any boat can be selected for launching no matter where stored...
