Newspaper Guild Hit
By Local In Memphis

Memphis, Tenn. - The Memphis
newspaper guild, host to the recent
American Newspaper Guild conven-
ton, is on record as opposing the
national organization on the question
of denouncing communism, fascism
and naZism by name.
The national convention tabled a
resolution condemning the three by
name and instead adopted one de
nouncing "subversive movements" The
Memphis guild resolved as follows:
'rhe Newspaper Guild Of Memphis
considers that communism, fascism
and nazism are subversive forces in
the United States. We have no in
terest in protecting the feelings of
those who may resent having COM
munism, nazism and fascism called by
name, nor do we know of any sit
uation, within the American News
paper Guild calling for sidestepping
this simple fact"

Washington, ID. c. QLNS).-Repre-
sentative Lee +. Geyer of California
has offered a petition to force House
consideration of his bill to end the
poll tax in states where it still eX-

Continuous Show SUNDAY
Emergency Board
Fuvors Hours Cut
Threatened Strike Of $4,000
Express Workers To Be
Investigated

Washington, D. C. GLNS) Re
duction in work hours from 4S to Al
week for $4,000 employees of the
Railway Express Agency, Inc, was
recommended by an emergency COM
mittee of three named by President
Roosevelt to investigate a threatened
strike.
The board was appointed on July
10, when the Brotherhood of Railway
and Steamship Clerks announced it's
intention to strike for 44-hour week
after negotiations with the Express
Agency had failed to result in an
agreement. The board consisted Of
John P. Devaney, chairman; Dexter
M. Keezer and Harry Mills.
The strike vote in the union was
prompted, the board found, by re-
fusal of the company to grant A
hour week, after having granted this
work week to it's vehicle employees in
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Newark, New
York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, San
Francisco and Chicago, who are rep
resented by the international Broth
erhood of Teamsters.
The board found that this precipi-
tated a problem involving total
payroll Of $4,000 persons, if the A
hour week were to be extended to all
express workers.
AS compromise, it recommended
that the 44-hour week be granted all
workers except employees in the ac-
counting division and general offices,
and the train messengers, where
hours are not easily controlled.

Drop 429 When They Refuse
To Sign Affidavit Of

Washington, D. C.-The WPA has
dismissed 429 workers who failed to
sign an affidavit that they are not
members of the Communist Party, the
German-American Bund or are not
aliens or affiliated with organizations
advocating overthrow Of the Govern
ment by force.
The action was mandatory under
provisions of the 1941 Relief Act, eff
fective July l, which required that
Communists and Bund members could
not be paid from WPA funds. Aliens

eating Government overthrow are ex-
cluded under previous law.
WPA Commissioner Harrington
said some persons may have dropped
from the rolls for other reasons, know
ing that they could not sign an af-
fidavit, and some false affidavits may
have been received.
In New York City, WPA authori-
ties have dismissed fifteen persons
who signed the affidavit, on the ground
that their statements were false.

cepting number Of amendments to
the 1888 act establishing a Federal
system of railroad unemployment in
surance, the Senate has approved lar
ger unemployment benefits for rail
road employees.
The amendments, which will affect
nearly 100000 railroad workers, were
approved after the Senate defeated
substitute which sought to increase
unemployment benefits slightly while
reducing unemployment taxes upon
railroads when the insurance reserves
reached specified levels.
Increases in unemployment benefits
for railroad workers were vigorously
urged by Senator Wagner, who said
that a $150,O00,000 reserve fund al
ready had been accumulated. He de-
clared that average weekly payments
of 81 to unemployed railroad workers
under the Federal Act were "inade-
quate" and below an average Of SIC
weekly for State unemployment pro
grams.
"These additional benefits can be
provided without one cent of addi,
tional taxes on the railroads." he
added.
The present 8 per cent payroll taS
on carriers, he said, provided about
sec, 100000 annually. He added that

treason for the administration to
watch it likewise.
What is the Answer?
The answer TO all the above is
that we are headed inevitably for
price fixing Of some kind. This is
being discussed in Washington as
you are reading this column. The
question is: shall we follow the pro-
gram Of World War I by fixing the
prices Of only few commodities at
first, and then gradually increase
the number: or shall we fix the price
of everything al one time?
This brings up again the question
of politics even though the election
is over. The agricultural districts
want the prices Of manufactured
goods fixed; but not the prices Of
farm products. Strong pressure is
being put on the administration to
follow such a haIf-hcarted policy
