Senator Butler
Demands Probe
Of CIO PAC

WASHINGTON (FP) - Sen.
Hugh Butler (R. Neb.) whose
ghost-written attacks upon the
U. S. good neighbor policy in
Latin-America appeared in the
Readers Digest some months ago
now wants the senate to investi-
gate the activities of he CIO Po-
litical Action Committee.
In a speech May 81 Butler
charged that failure of the Dept.
of Justice to proceed against
PAC is a cause of concern to the
nation. Butler said the commit
tee continues to go its merry
way spending money collected
from many reluctant union mem
berS, in the interests of the 4th
term and the election of New
Dealers to the halls of Con-
gress." AS a wind-up, Butler
asked for a probe of PAC by the
Senate Privilege and Elections
Committee.

McNuff Wurns
OF Excessive
L0oor Turnover

WASHINGTON, June 5 (FP)
War Manpower Commissioner
Paul V. McNutt said June 2 that
excessive labor turnover among
shipyard workers, including
those employed in Navy Yards,
constitutes serious manpower
problem.
McNutt's figures showed that
since September 1912, the
monthly separation rate has
ranged from 8 to liz of the
total force in the yards. He said
the situation was especially bad
among shipyard workers in the
Pacific coast, New England, the
Gulf coast, South Atlantic and
Wisconsin areas.
Military separations draft !;
bad community conditions and
post war job attraction; were
listed as among the reasons cited
for the quits in the industry.

shook the plant as the workers
heard that their protest had
brought promises of action from
FDR himself as well as from
War Mobilization Dir t r
James F. Byrnes. Frankensteen's
message, read by shop stewards,
asked the workers to end the
demonstration since the situa-

management to return to work
when the company gets new con-
tracts.

Gets Support
From Murruv

WASHINGTON, June 6 (FP)
Facing its severest test before
an unfriendly Senate sub-com-
mittee, the Fair Employment
Practice Committee June 5 had
the full support of CIO President
Philip Murray, who wrote each
of the senators concerned that
the FEPC appropriation should
be continued to remove threat
to Americas miracle of produc-
ton.
The House has already voted a
$500,000 fund and the measure
is now before a subcommittee of
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee headed by Senator Ken
meth Mcclellan Cd, TENN
Pres. Murray's letter pointed
out that the achievement OF
reaching and maintaining maxi
mum war production is the main
concern of labor in order to
achieve the speediest possible
victory, adding:
''For this reason, the CIO has
long made it major concern to
see that all workers are secured
equal opportunity for employ
ment. This requires the employ
ment of workers from all minori-
ty groups, and the ending of job
discrimination against them
"The FEPC, operating as il
has done since its inception, has
been of the greatest assistance to
the nation in achieving produc-
ton records that have made our
military successes possible, and
in arming us for the imminent
invasion of Axis territories.
"To endanger this miracle of
production now by removing one
of the nations barriers against
discrimination would imperil our
armed forces at their hour of
greatest exertion. In addition,
present and increasing cut-backs
and unemployment problems in
volving all workers require the
continued assistance of the
FEPC in seeing to it that no
groups of workers are left out
of employment due to race or
other consideration of a minority
origin. F"

for punch press operators.
Reuther's letter to the local
unions concluded
eff the WLB area bracket rae
ket has established a so cents
spread on a simple classification
like punch press operator in
Michigan, the very heart of the
automotive industry, one shud-
ders to imagine what differen-
tials must exist nationally on
more complex and skilled pro-
duction classifications.
'The area bracket racket has
created the most challenging
postwar economic problems we
face as workers in our industry
and as citizens in our various
communities. The full weight of
our union and the entire labor
movement must be brought into
the fight to abolish the area
bracket racket"
In a brief submitted to the
WLB in the current General Mo-
tors wage case, Reuther main
tainS that continuation of the
wage differentials will reduce
wages generally or cause the
loss of work to men and plants
in the higher wage areas. AS an
alternative, he has proposed an
industry-Wide wage agreement
based on equal pay for equal
work.
