Trade Act urged by CIO official before House committee
CIO Secretary-Treasurer James B. Carey urged the House Ways and Means Committee to back H.R. 1 and H.R. 2386, extending reciprocal trade agreements for three years and addressing short-term injuries without increasing duties. He linked reciprocal trade to jobs, production and U.S. alliances, and referenced Bell and Randall Commission proposals. He warned changes may affect workers but urged alternatives to duties and noted no direct subsidies in the plan.

Beirne Questions Ike Words While AT&T Reports 1954 Gains
Local 4400 head J A Beirne warns that Ike’s rhetoric hides facts as big business dominates the government. AT&T President Cleo F Craig highlights 1954 Bell System gains including 1,965,000 new telephones and a $1.4 billion expansion, with net earnings up $73.6 million and $11.93 per share. The Bell System says bargaining time will bring contract improvements. Beirne also promotes a Beirne Testimonial Dinner at the Sheraton Gibson with 350 tickets, and Kent’s budget critique follows Eisenhower’s TVA and budget moves.
