islature which last year passed
a polltax repeal act that was
later killed by Memphis Boss Ed
Crump's state supreme court re-

early last year. A few months
later-on July 3, 1943-the state

leaders - Protestant, Catholic

opposed enactment of the Austin

fense League, the statement con-
demned the bill as serious
threat to the religious concept
of human life" The clergymen
base their objection to the bill
on the grounds that it is un-

Conference
Sets Price
Control Week

WASHINGTON, APRIL % -
(FP)-A call for national oD:
servance of Price Control Week
May 1924 was issued here April
20 by the Citizens Emergency
Conference to Save Price Con-
troll at the end of a two day
session.
The conferees, drawn from all
sections of the U. S. and repre-
senting nsume councils,
farmers, labor and plain house
wives, saw more than 200 sena-
tors and representatives in be-
half of extension of the price
control act.
In a general resolution given
to the house banking and cur
rency committee by Donald
Montgomery, Consumer Repre-
sentative of the United Auto
Workers, CIO, the conference
stated its general policy.
Asks For Funds
Asking passage of the act with
out any weakening amendments,
the resolution also asked con-
gress to supply adequate funds
and authority for enforcement of
the legislation.
I'VE pledge ourselves to bring
home to the American public an
ever sharper understanding that
effective control of prices is an
esential part of our war effort
:. Interference with our price
control program is direct blow
to our war effort.
eve recommend to those
groups we represent and to all
other groups in our communities
that we join together in an inn
mediate program to save the
price control act. To this END
we also recommend that the na-
tional organizations participating
in this conference agree upon a
Price Control Week, May 1924,
when all groups in communities
throughout the country will hold
joint public meetings to forestall
the destruction Of price control
and will ask our mayors to pro-
claim that week as Price Con-
troll Week in our cities"

Missouri Servieemen
Deprived Of Vote

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, April
21-(FP)-The federal ballot is
out SO far as Missouri servicemen
are concerned.
The special session of the leg
islature, called to provide liber-
allied voting laws for Missouri
citizens in the armed forces,
passed a bill which does not
permit use of the federal ballot.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1944-04-28

The committee is headed
by Rep. Howard w. Smith
ID. Va a nd its majority re-
port asked for widespread
amendments to the Emergency
Price Control act under which
OPA operates.
Among the most dangerous of
the amendments is the call au-
thority to permit general in.
creases Of rents in defense rental
areas where levels are now fro
zen to protect warworkers. An
other change would wipe out all
rent controls in these defense
rental areas if landlords can
show they are not needed to pre-
vent speculation.
After WLB
Smiths group then went after
the Natl. War Labor Board,
asking congress to amend the law
so that WLB cannot require any
employer to sign a contract or
agreement to which he is not
agreed. Other provisions would
prevent the WLB from requir-
ing:
awards or payments OF
any kind retroactive for more
than go days.
2-Submission Of any dispute
TO arbitration,
unemployment of veterans
or performance of any act after
the war.
4-Making any salary or wage
increases except under rules is
sued by the President.
Being a lawyer back in Vir-
ginia, Smith couldn't resist
throwing WLB decisions into the
courts. Committee amendments
would allow employers (or in
dividuals) to go into the dis
trict circuit court of appeals to
protest any order of the WLB
and obtain a review.
Courts Would Control
The amendment would allow
the court to throw out the WLR
ruling if it found it had acted
beyond statutory authority, con-
stitutional right, without full
observance of all legal pro-
cedures, or been found unsup-
ported by substantial, credible
and material evidence upon the
whole record. A last reason to
throw out a WLB order if the
court finds it to be arbitrary or
capricious.
Since there are II courts of
appeal in the U. S. (including
the District of Columbia), there
could be IL sets of rulings.
The minority report, signed
by Rep. John j. Delaney I'd.
N.Y. and Jerry Voorhis ID,
CALI objects to the failure to
accompany lifting prices and
rents with permission to raise
wages and also attacks the ma
iority for elimination provision
to correct substandards of liv-
ing"
Another major criticism of
the minority report is directed
at Smiths plan to stop the WLB
from directing unions and en-
ployers to sign an agreement or
contract.
