The
Acklinite
BY Bud HerrOon

Last Sundays meeting turned
out as was supposed, but the
round about way in which people
are put on the spot is disgrace.
If anyone cares about going to a
convention why don't they say
so and quit running their fellow
committeeman into the ground?
If any member is in doubt
about any happening why don't
they contact all the committee?
After all they are there because
you elected them and I think
they are doing a very good job.

NJ. r. Strike
Ends Victorious

NEW YORK (LPA) - The
strike of building service work
ers that paralyzed more than
1000 office buildings three weeks
ago produced a decisive victory
for the AFL's Building Service
Workers international Union
last week.
The strikers demands were
almost completely granted in
findings by former State Su-
preme Court Justice George
Frankenthaler, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Dewey to
arbitrate the dispute. The vic
tory was hailed as a decision
which would give the AFL mem
bers 46 hours pay for 40 hours
work. In addition, AFL officials
say that the findings would mean
a pay increase of S264 week
for apartment house employees.
In his findings, Frankenthaler
verified almost every claim that
the AFL union made before it
resorted to strike.
Another AFL strike continued
on the New York waterfronts
despite conciliation efforts by
Federal authorities and Mayor
Members of the In
ternational Longshoremen's As
sociation-AFL refused to unload
ships docking in New York har-
Dor and rejected appeals by their
lifetime president, Joe Ryan, to
end the strike. In several sec
tons of the New York port area
the liza membership were in
open revolt against their leader

Full Employment
Bill Faces Defeat

WASHIN NGTON, Oct. II
dPA)-The full employment
bill, already sabotaged by a re-
dictionary combination of Repub-
licans and Southern Democrats,
may not be passed during the
present session of Congress un-
less President Truman puts the
heat on weak sisters among
the congressional Democrats.
Supported by increasing pres
sure from reactionary employers
and big business interests, Re
publicans such as Clare Hoffman
(Mich.) and Church Qll) are
leading a violent assault on the
legislation which President Tru-
man has labelled urgent.
The House Expenditures Com
mittee, holding hearings on the
bill, is preponderantly against
the legislation with at least ten
of the committees 81 votes in
opposition and only six votes
that can be counted definitely in
favor. Several members of the
committee are figured as weak
sisters" who will be influenced
by the pressure of testimony.
Still fighting for passage of the
full employment program, Sen
ator O'Mahoney told Congress
last week that a full employment
bill must be passed, and that the
enactment is as important to
business and agriculture as it is
to labor.
Senator O'Mahoney, one of
the sponsors of the bill, said
that, "The last depression cost
the businessmen of America
$355, 100000 in sales. 1t cost
farmers billions in income and
corporations billions in profit.
The loss caused by the depres
sion was actually far greater
than the war debt which has
now reached more than $3.50
billion.
"The full employment bill, of
which l am happy to be one of
the sponsors, is not a bill to pro-
vide only industrial jobs. 1t is
a bill to prevent a business de-
preston.
at rests upon the firm basis
of fact that the best market for
the businessmen of America is
to be found among the people at
the bottom of the economic
scale.
"The economic history of the
country proves that every war
has been followed by depres-
sion. The full employment bill
is a bill to prevent a depression
after this war.
Industry acting alone has
never in the past been able to
prevent depressions. Govern
ment must now assume the re-
sponsibility," he concluded.

Toxpoyers Face
Waste PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, Oct. II LPA
More than 800, 900 temporary
wartime houses which cost the
government about $750,000,000
are scheduled to be torn down
and destroyed shortly, and it
may cost American taxpayers
another $50,000,000 to demolish
them.
Instead of converting these
structures, most of which were
erected around now-deserted
war plants, into stop-gap homes
for workers and returning serv-
icemen, until new housing prof.
ects are finished, the houses
may be completely junked. With
housing crises in dozens of cities,
government and labor experts
insist that these small homes
could easily be transported to
needy communities.
Junking Is Scheduled
The junking is definitely
scheduled unless Congressman
are dissuaded from their orig
inal decision that these tempo
rary homes should be pulled
down within two years after the
war because they might, as a
result of their relatively flimsy
construction, become firetraps.
Officials of the Federal Public
Housing Authority believe that
the structures can be trans
formed into rural schools, tou-
rist cabins, gas stations, country
Libraries and small churches.
In an effort to save these
800, 900 houses, the FPHA will
stage demonstration in Wash
ingtOn late this year of the
many postwar uses to which
these temporary buildings can
be put. Dozens of different types
of structures into which the
original buildings can be con-
verted for postwar needs will
be shown.
Union experts in the housing
and construction fields agree
that it would be nothing less
than public crime to destroy
the 100000 units before per-
manent housing is available for
