OF kerr REPORT
ESSENTIAL
Kerr Committee Following
The Dies Line All the Way;
Accuses Two Outstanding
Officials AS Subversive;
Protests From People Vital.

Background: In February 1943 the
house of representatives instructed
the house appropriations committee to
establish a subcommittee to investi
gate all of the facts involved in the
so-called "subversive government
worker cases." This developed out of
the charges made by Martin Dies and
the Dies committee against some 80
government workers. Debate in the
house brought forward the fact that
many of these named were no longer
employed by the government; that
some are in the armed services Zone
in the paratroops) another overseas
with the Red Cross, etc.
Appointed as result of the resolu-
ton, was the so-called Kerr commit
tee, chaired by Rep. John H. Kerr
3D., N. c.. 1t includes five other
members of the house appropriations
committee: Albert Gore d., TENN
Clinton P. Anderson 3D., NM; D.
Lane Powers (R., N. j., Frank B.
Keefe (R., Wis.,. The resolution in
structed the Kerr committe to analyze
the Dies charges, investigate all the
factors and evidence, and weigh them
fairly. Proponents of the resolution
were confident that the Kerr commit
tee would undoubtedly be forced to
repudiate most of Dies accusations.
Present Situation: The Kerr COM
mittee, instead, has just issued re-
port comparable in tone and content
to the Dies committee material-and
every bit as damaging to the nations
war effort.
Under constant pressure from Dies

von June 3 on the question of
issuance of $8,000,000 in high
way debenture bonds.
The sponsors of the act in the re-
cent legislative assembly stated that
its purpose was to secure funds for
postwar highway construction and re-
pairs, and an appropriation of $4,000
for the expenses of the special cleo
ton was provided.
The suit filed challenges the au-
thority of all of the defendants to
call the special election. and asserts
that the act is mot legislative act
statute or legislative enactment of any
character" and is wholly without
force
The complaint charges also that
THE act assumes to create an addi-
tional license tax of five cents a gal
Ion over and above the five cents per
gallon tax created by initiative in
1898. making a total tax of 10 cents
gallon on gasoline and 1914 cents
gallon on diesel fuel" This charge
is contrary to the statements of the
sponsors of the legislation when de-
bated in the assembly. They stated
that 1t would increase the state gaso-
line tax one cent a gallon and the
diesel fuel tax, two and one-half cents
a gallon; both increases limited to
a two-year period
The suit charges violation of the
provisions governing
the referring of governmental ques-
tions to the people and the violation
of other constitutional provisions by
failing to specify how the funds were
to be used and when the debt would
be repaid; that passage of the act
will at once operate as an unlawful
diversion of money from the state
fund and as an unlawful ex-
penditure by the defendants"
Many of the counties in the state
nave already proceeded with prepare
ions for the special election. These
will stop now because
he state supreme court has assumed
original jurisdiction and has issued
injunction, ordering hear
ng on May on a permanent injunc-
ion. Should the court hold the act
it will issue a writ
If prohibition against holding the cleo
ion.
The firm bringing the action is rep
esented by State Senator Edmond G.
'oomey of Helena.

S. I. F. U. ASKS
PRESIDENT TO
VETO H. j. R. IS

President Roosevelt had before him
today a request for a veto of the
farm labor supply bill Fl. J. R. 96
which was passed by both houses OF
congress last week.
The bill provides for fund of $685.,
10000 which is to be used to recruit
and transport farm labor Not less
/ than nine million dollars nor more
than 1914 million dollars is ear
marked for the use of the various
state agricultural extension services.
H. L. Mitchell, general secretary of
the Southern Tenant Farmers Union.
made public a letter which was sent
the President on April II urging a
veto of this measure. The letter
reads as follows:
April II, 1913
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt, President
White House
Washington, d. G.
Dear Mr.. Roosevelt:
The congress has just passed a
farm labor supply bill which, if it
DtCOH6S law, Will IupbIll luc HdllOH ,
food supply and prevent the utiliza-
ton of hundreds of thousands of ex-
perienced farm workers in the war
effort.
We are writing to urge that you
veto this bill for the following rea-
sons:
Under the provisions of this meas
ure the Food Administrator, who is
charged with the responsibility of sup
plying labor to farmers, is forbidden
to recruit or transport workers out
of a county without each worker hav-
ing the prior consent in writing of
the agricultural agent of the county
in which he lives. This will have the
effect of preventing the use of unem-
ployed farm workers when their labor
is needed in the production of war
time crops in any area other than |
their home county.
Further, this legislation provides |
that no part of the funds appropriated |
shall be used to establish minimum |

AFL, Clio men
QUIT ADVISORY
POSTS IN PROTEST

DETROIT.-All eight AFL and CLIO
Representatives on the Detroit war
manpower commissions advisory com
mittee have resigned in protest
against the Presidents job and wage
freeze policy
Thus labor's nationwide revolt
against what Victor Reuther, one OF
the eight resigning VINO members
termed "a blanket freeze of labor
which involves compulsion and paves
the way to total labor conscription, :"
takes concrete shape.
Resignation of all United Auto
Worker (CIO) members from the War
Manpower Commission posts was
voted by the UAW-CIO executive
board at it's special session in Cleve-
land, and will certainly be followed
by wave of designations all over
the country.
The attacks by President Philip
Murray of the CLIO and William Green
of the AFL on the job freeze order
constituted the first real break of the
AFL and CLIO with the administration
on labor policy during the war.
The CLIO described the wage and
job freeze orders as claiming work
ers to ill-paying jobs" The ALL
charged workers were by the orders
reduced to the status of forced la
bor."
Vigorous condemnation of the job
freeze came from President John
Green of the CLOS Industrial Union of
Marine and Shipbuilding Workers,
who declared "the people of our coun-
.ry are not going to stand for the
reeze."
