Employment
Is Advanced

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30
IPA)-Passage of the Full
Employment Bill in the Sen
ate last week was hailed as
the first victory in months
for progressive forces in Con-
gress.
The bill as passed commits the
federal government to the policy
that "All Americans able to work
aid desiring to work are en-
titled to an opportunity for use
full, remunerative, regular and
full-time employment"
The only major amendment
passed on the floor of the Senate
and one which the bills sponsors
believe will make no appreciable
difference in the operations of
the full employment program,
was proposed by Senator Carl A.
Hatch 3D., N. M. 1t substituted
for the section of the bill most
bitterly attacked by Senator
Robert Taft (R., Ohio) and
George L. Radcliffe ID, Md
this paragraph:
Add One Paragraph
g. to the extent that con-
tinuing full employment cannot
otherwise be obtained, consistent
with the needs and obligations
of the Federal Government and
other essential considerations of
national policy, provide such
volume of Federal investment
ard expenditure as may be
needed, in addition to the invest
ment and expenditure by private
enterprises, consumers, and state
and local governments to achieve
the objective of continuing full
employment"
Major crippling amendments,
proposed by opponents of the bill
led by Senator Kenneth S.
Wherry (R., Neb.), were beaten
down at the end of "a week of IN
termittent debate on the Full
Employment Bills proposals.
Slow action is anticipated in
the House, where the unenthusi-

Williams

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30
OPA)-Sabotage of Federal
unemployment compensation
legislation, backed by Presi-
dent Truman and all union
leaders was disclosed this week
with denunciation by CIO and
AFL officials of Claude A. Will
liams, former chairman of the
Texas Unemployment Commis-
sion.
Williams, who testified before
both House and Senate commit
tees here agaist increased job
less payments, hit a new low in
Congressional testimony by de-
claring that "state unemploy-
ment reserves are being used as
a huge war chest to finance
strikes" He asserted h t
Through a planned scheme, or
ganized labor is using Z billion
dollars of state reserves to fl
nance their strikes, paralyze in
dustry and retard reconversion. ;"
Branded AS Saboteur
Both AFL and CIO leaders
branded Williams as a saboteur
of the Presidents program and
pointed out that he has already
taken over a job advising Texas
industrialists on the best means
of pairing their unemployment
contributions.
Nelson Cruikshank, director
of social insurance activities for
the AFL, declared that "Wil-
liams' statement about the use
of unemployment compensation
funds to finance strikes is too
ridiculous to merit serious con-
sideration.
Williams has "been smoked
out" said Cruikshank, "as a
guardian of special privilege,
and he has now lined up on
the same side with Sen. Pappy
O'Daniel and the so-called
Christian American Assn and
other subversive and un-Ameri-
can elements in his state"
A CIO official asserted that
cts hard to believe that any
one in their right mind would
make statement like that. In
the majority of states strikers
are ineligible for unemployment
compensation" :"

81 Per Hour
Is insufficient

w SHIN C T o N (LPA)-
Workers need a wage of at least
81 an hour, for a standard 40
hour work week, all year round,
to "break even" on current ex-
penses. This is the conclusion of
the Dept. of Labor, which has
done many studies on family
budgets.
The average family needed an
income of $3.50 after income
taxes were paid to break even"
in 1914, according to A. Ford
Hinrichs, acting commissioners of
labor statistics, testifying before
a Senate body on the Csc min
imum wage bill. Families with
incomes of less than $3.50 in
most cases went into debt in
1914, the government studies
show.

Oil Moy SET
Wage Pattern

WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (LPA)
Settlement of a nationwide
dispute between $4,000 CIO oil
workers and employers may set
the pattern for satisfaction OF
wage demands by other Unions
and the death of the Little Steel
wage freeze, John Gibson, acting
assistant TO Labor Secretary
Lewis Schwellenbach, declared
last week.
The oil workers demanded
30% wage increase while the
employers offered 15qo. Schwel-
lenbach said that the oil COM
panies had also stalled on the
unions request for an industry
wide agreement. If agreement is
not reached, the Oil Workers
Union-CIO has au-
thorized a coast-to-coast strike
of its 250,000 members.
May Establish Precedent
Gibson's statement verified
the belief of many trade union
leaders that the oil strike, which
has crippled the largest part of
the refinery industry in the
northeast, will establish a pre-
cedent for decisions on wage and
hour demands pending in auto,
aircraft, construction and steel
industries.
In an effort to break the strike

panies bought large advertise
ments in daily newspapers while

Local IA, UAW-CIO as their
bargaining agent in an NLRB-
conducted election held at the
plant Sept. %.
1t was a closely contested cleo
ton with the United Auto Work
ers winning by a five-vote mar
gin. The final. results gave the
UAW- -CIO 256 votes against Isl
for no union.
This was the second election
conducted at the plant in which
the UAW sought to win bargain
ing rights. Last years vote, held
Oct. "a, 1914, ended in the defeat
of the Auto Workers by a rs

TAXATION BY FEUDAL oVERLoRDS

Following the lead of Mr. PetrilI0
head of the musicians union, who success
fully defied the government in his demand
to levy a tax on every monograph record
10 the ture of some $4,000, 600 a year. Mr.
Lewis. head of the United Mine Workers.
now demands a union tax of 10 cents on
each ton Of coal mined, to enable the union
to provide "economic protection" for the
workers. As the coal mines produced Over
600000,O0 tons of coal in 1914, the public
would have to dig up some $60000,00O a
year for Mr.. Lewis tax.
IL this policy Of permitting unions to
lax production goes unchecked, the people
will be paying Special taxes for privileged
few. as they did to feudal overlords who
were more powerful than governments in
.33ncient times, Why should the tax be linz
tied toEa photograph record or a ton of
,aeala EFhy shouldn't it be applied to suit
Of clothes, gallon OF gasoline, an autom0-2
bile, or any commodity, the production Of
which is under union control?
This is not a-union or non-unon issue !;
it boils down to a question Of whether
powerful private agencies are to be al
lowed to tax the public for the exclusive
profit of those agencies and their members
The issue is going to. be right up TO the peo-
pie before long becs use the unions are
proving every day that they are beyond the
reach Of present laws and regulatory meas
ures that apply to all other business and
individuals.
