WASHINCTON-Pres. Truman's proposal for fact-finding commit. tees and cooling-off periods to pre-. vent strikes brought quick and unanimous disapproval from or. ganized labor. AFL Pres. William Green opposed the bill as ''nOt ac. ceptable or satisfactory" while Pres. Philip Murray, announcing mobilization of the entire CIO tC defeat the measure, charged tho purpose of the Truman proposal as ''to ultimately destroy" organ ized labor.
 NEW YORK-Pres. Ira Mosher of the Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers offered support of Pres. Truman's tact-tlnding plan, which was based or NAM proposals made at the Wash ington labor-management conference provided the legislation denies the fact-finding committees power to sub. pena or make recommendations anc includes a no-strike provision.

 We, therefore, petition the Con- gress of the United States to repudi- ate what these men stand for by adopting Representative Samuel Dick stein's House Concurrent Resolution 89, which reads as follows:
 Resolved by the House of Repre- sentatives (the Senate concurring) That the Congress hereby express it. self that nti-Semitism and other forms of hate propaganda directed against racial or religious groups which arrays creed against creed, and race against race, is potent weapon in the hands of the enemies of this country and of its institutions; that the spreading of this Hitlerite theology destroys the unity of this Nation, ere ates discord among our people, and is threat to our future peace and security.
 'WhosOever conducts or partici- pates in such propaganda is un- American and is undermining the foundations upon which our Nation was founded, therefore, there can be no place in the lives or thoughts of true Americans for such ideol. Ogy."

A Very Strange
 Situation Indeed!
(Continued from Page One)

In a fighting speech, Green de- cIared that the anti-labOr bills had done one good thing-''they have served to cement and unite organ ixed labor" s'There is no division among us on this vicious legisla- tiOn," he said.
 He branded the Smith-May- Arends bill a 'sstrike promotion" measure and declared it would in. cite more stoppages than did the notorious Smith-Connally Act.
 Under its provisions, he said, union could be put out of business for a year, if few members engaged in wildcat strike, while an employ CT - even though he provoked the strike, would not lose his business or his status"
 Also, the measure. would open the way not only for the employer direct ly involved, but for anyone even re- motely injured" by such strike to sue the union for damages. Green added that the bill would turn the clock to the days of the famous Dan bury Hatters' Case" when striking workmen even had their homes seized for damages.
 Green also denounced the bills ban on political contributions by unions, declaring that it would prevent unions from even printing leaflets ~or other literature relating to candidates or politics, and could be construed as outlawing register and vote" cam paigns by unions. He assailed the Hobbs bill in equally emphatic terms. CITES WAR RECORD ssThe performance of workers during the war has been widely hailed as a miracle," he declared, <tAnd now, after we have made that contribution, are we as reward to be reduced to slavery and servi- tude?"
 ssSponsors of these bills extol the virtues of free enterprise. But how can we maintain the free enterprise system if workers are deprived of their rights and iberties?" he asked.
 Green bluntly warned that if R RCOngressmen continue to push an- -ti-union legislation and to shackle workers, labor will be ''driven to desperation' and 'smOve to the left just as did the workers of Britain" :"
 Lashing at the hysteria that has been stirred up over strikes, Green added: "There are no strikes in to- talitarian Russia. Do we want that kind of strikeless nation?"
 THOMAS BLASTS FEM
 Thomas blasted the measures in equally strong terms.
 q agree with President Green of the AFL that the free enterprise sys- tenn should be maintained. But we must also have free unions.
 "We agree that there should be no strikes, whether a union contract has no-strike clause or not. But how about employers who incite strikes? You have no penalty in this legislation for them"
 Thomas also denounced the provi sions which would bar contributions by unions for political purposes. Gen eral Motors alone, through its in- dividual officers, would be left free to raise more money for political purposes in one day than we could raise in a year." he declared.
 COOLINC-OFF PERIOD 
 sWhen I see all these bills to strait-jacket workers, l am begin ming to wonder what we fought the war for," he exclaimed. He wound mp by asserting that cit would do us all lot of good if we had a cooling off period on anti-labor legislation

Doctors s Group .Not AMA) For
 New Health Bill
The Physicians Forum Hits A.M.A. Opposition To
 Presidents Proposal

Washington (LPA)-The propo- sals of the American Medical Assn. for voluntary national health pro gram are totally inadequate" and President Truman's proposals for a national compulsory health insurance program should be passed by Con- gress, national body of physicians stated this week. Commenting on the AMA's plan, Dr. Ernst Boas, chair man of Physicians Forum, said that:
 ''Over 4O90 of the counties in our country have no satisfactory general hospital, which fact in it. self makes it impossible for any voluntary health insurance plan to be adequate for the nation. Furth- ermOre, the lower income groups have three times as much sickness as those in the higher brackets but are only able to spend one-third as much on medical care. Since 5O% of all the families earn less than $2OOO a year, it is impossible to expect anything approaching the needed medical care. under a pure. ly voluntary system where costs are fixed regardless of income.
 Tt is therefore obvious that volun- tary health insurance, as now pro- posed by the American Medical As sociation, will never be adequate to supply sufficient medical care to all the people. The Physicians Forum be- lieves that the proposal made by Pres ident Truman for nationwide social security legislation to finance health insurance in proportion to the ability to pay is the only effective method in accord with the American tradition. ,

Plumbers In Plan
 To End Disputes

Washington, D. C.-Approval of a plan to end jurisdictional disputes within its own organization is an nounced, by the executive board of the United Association of Plumbers and Steamhtters of the United States and Canada.
 President Martin Durkin dis closed that the proposal, which is de. sired to eliminate jurisdictional rows between steamhtters and plumbers will be submitted for final adoption tc the next convention of the United Association in September, 1946.
 Under the tentative agreement members of the union would be per. mitted without bar or restriction tt perform all work covered by tht unions jurisdiction, thus wiping ou previous lines of demarcation betweer plumbers, steamhtters and other pipe filters affiliated with the United As sociation.
 It is further proposed to change tht name of the union to the United As sociation of Journeymen and Appren tices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fit ting Industry of the United State. and Canada"
 We regard this plan as an oppor tunity to strengthen and harmoniz, our union and wipe out the root caus, of unnecessary jurisdictional dis putes," Durkin said. q am conhden that it will be overwhelmingly ap proved at our next convention"
