To BE Good Pendinq
Action on Steel PAY
BY the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND, May 13.-President
Philip Murray told the United Steel
workers of America today that the
organizations prime object is to
win this war" and cautioned the
membership to avoid "riotous and
disorderly conduct" while the
unions wage increase request is
before the War Labor Board.
Mr.. Murray, also president of the
CLIO, added"
Don't jeopardize your union or
your country and, above all, don't
ieopardize the life of single man
or woman in the armed forces"
Declaring himself "cognizant of
the fact that employers may take
advantage of the situation to en-
ploy obstructionist tactics" in the
unions wage case, Mr.. Murray an
nounced that union officials would
ask the WLB to set deadline for
presentation of testimony.
"Our organization is particularly
interested in having an orderly dis
cussion of the issues involved in
the steelworkers' program" said
Mr.. Murray.
Before adjournment of the USA's
second constitutional convention,
Jack Laurenson, vice president
of the National Maritime Union,
asked the steelworkers' support in
a drive to organize seamen on Great
Lakes vessels. Mr.. Murray pledged
the USA's entire support"
After long discussion, the dele
gates followed a recommendation
of their president and left un-
changed constitutional provision
under which rs cents of each mem
bers monthly dues goes to the in
ternational unions treasury.
The unions constitution provides
that dues must be at least 81 per
month, of which rs cents is re-
tanned by the international and Is

Several delegates advocated each
division Of the basic dues-50 cents
to the local and 50 cents to the in
ternational.

than $500, 900 in the internation-
ais treasury.

Negro Council Asks
Roosevelt 10 State
Stand on Poll Tax

The National Negro Council YES
terday called on President Roose-
welt to state whether he favors
the House-approved bill to ban the
collection of State poll taxes as a
prerequisite to voting in Federal
elections.
In telegram to Mr.. Roosevelt,
Edgar G. Brown, director of the
council, also asked the Chief Exc
cutive to make the bill must"
legislation. The President was
urged to "use the great power of
your office to end the filibuster by
Southern Democratic Senators"
and to purge from your party
those who persist in blocking a
vote" on the measure.
Meanwhile, Senate Republicans
were challenged by Senator Kilgore
Democrat, of West Virginia. to show
by their support of a debate -limi-
tatlon measure tomorrow their
party's position on the anti-poll
tax legislation.
COP Could End Filibuster.
Senator Kilgore declared in a
statement that if the Republicans
vote solidly for cloture, the neces-
sary two-thirds. could be obtained
to cut off filibuster- debate at
the end of So additional hours.
The Negro Councils telegram to
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Senator Ellender, Democrat. of
Louisiana stated on the floor of
senate Friday that, although you
are reported as expressing opposi-
ton to poll taxes, if you ventured to
come out for a bill of this kind
To-Day then you should hang your
mead IN shame for playing politics
with the Constitution
IN the light of this challenge
from one of the prominent mem
oers OF your own party, the National
Negro Council respectfully calls
upon you to clarity Immediately
your position on the pending anti
poll tax bill. The fate of this pro-
posed legislation hangs in the bal
ance on the vote on cloture Monday,
and Is further threatened by COM
plete abandonment or final defeat
by the unholy Democratic filibuster
and the obvious agreement entered
into by Senator Barkley, your Demo-
cratic majority leader, who recently
urged your reelection to a fourth
term, with those who would deny
colored American citizens their
rights under the Constitution of
the United States.
Linked Name With Dewey.
The additional charge of politics
by Senator Ellender would seem to
make it necessary that you speak
out Immediately on this important
legislation, in that the Senator
linked your name with Gov. Dewey's
public and unequivocally expressed
opposition to poll taxes"
Senator Kilgore asserted that to-
morrow's vote on cloture will de-
termine the position of the Repub-
lican Party one the larger issue of
restricted voting versus unrestricted
voting.
1T they split their vote to such
an extent that cloture is defeated,
they will demonstrate beyond
shadow Of a doubt that they do not
favor free exercise of the voting
privilege" he said.
Senator Connally, Democrat. of
Texas. proposed that those seeking
to abolish State poll tava~ s.,..I

exists" in the States.
IN a telegram to the Houston

Connally said:

Tigers Seek
RevengeToday
Would Rub-Out
kewsom Upset
By WATSON SPOELSTRA

DETROIT, May 26 - up -
Blustery Bobo Newsom lost a
tough one TO the Detroit Tigers
on an error week ago, but he
can gain ample revenge today
by beating his former mates
and giving the Philadelphia
Athletics the series edge at
Briggs Stadium. Paul Trout, the
Tiger ace, was named to oppose
him.
The Athletics stacked the
deck for Newsom's entry by
winning to 0 on Luman Har-
ris' three hit pitching yesterday
for their second straight tri-
umph. 1t was Detroits fifth
straight defat at Briggs Stadium
where the clubs average is 083
on one victory and ii defeats.
Harris, 29year-old right
handler who finished the 1913
season with a 13-game losing
streak and then lost his first
1914 start, permitted no Tiger
to reach third base while gain
ing his fourth victory and sec
ond shutout. Nelson Potter of ST.
Louis BANKED the Tigers on
May for their only other
withdrawing.
Besides pitching so well, Har-
ris drove in the winning run in
the seventh inning. Irwin Hall
opened with a double off John
ny Corsica, advanced on Edgar
Busch's sacrifice and scored on
Harris line single to left.
In the eighth Ford Garrison
singled for his third hit, moved
up on Frank Hayes sacrifice and
scored on a hard double by Dick
Siebert. Corsica, who yielded
ten hits, was lifted for a pinch
hitter in the eighth and Hal
Newhouser pitched hitless
ninth. 1t was Gorsica's third de-
feat.
The Tigers were no trouble at
all to Harris. whose seven l943

also beat him three times. Har-
ris issued two passes IN the first
inning yesterday, but thereafter
his control was flaWless. Jimmy
OUTLAW rolled a single through
the infield in the second, but
Harris retired the next l8 Tigers
in order.
Detroit's only threat came in
the eighth when Chuck Hostel
Ter and Paul Richards opened
with singles. Charley Metro,
batting for Corsica, popped up
bunt. Roger Cramer grounded
to Busch at second who was
knocked down by pinch runner
Paul Trout, but Trout was called
out for interference, setting up
mass debating session with the
umpires. When play was re-
sumed, Joe Hoover popped up
TO end the inning.
