No Violence ut Mills.
So far there has been no violence
at any mill, but the possibility ol
local differences between AFL team.

developed when Dave Beck, Seattle
said his teamsters would continue
to handle lumber loads now in re-
tail yards.
Mr.. Beck said the lumber was cut
under union agreement" before
the strike Of the other AFL union.
I'VE take the position that lumber
cut under union contract may be
handled by union men," he said.
The teamster vice president made
the statement after w. c. Bell, man
aging director Of the Western Re-
tail Lumbermen's Association pre-
dicted building would halt within

Wagner Hits Critics
OF Full Work Bill
As Debate Begins

Senator Wagner, Democrat, OF
New York denied today that the
goal Of full employment requires
continued deficit financing" as he
opened Senate debate on the full
employment bill.
On the desks of Senators as the
controversial measure came up was
a minority report signed by seven
members of the Banking Commit
tee, concurring in the goal OF the
bill, but insisting it will lead tc
imitation and unemployment unless
amended to limit the volume ol
public spending that will be au-
thorized to supplement private in
dustry.
Arithmetic Of Despair"
Those who support the full EN-.
ployment bill maintain that con.
tinuing full employment is possibl.
under our economic system" Senator
Wagner began. I'VE believe thai
full employment and free enterpris.
are entirely compatible. We have
studied the lessons Of past depres.
sions and are resolved that thl
future of America shall not b.
shaped by the dead hand OF tn.
past.
Those who conjure up the pic.
ture of endless deficit financins
proceed on the assumption that de.
preston is inevitable. Theirs is tn,
arithmetic of despair. They tall
in money terms about a gap o.
go, 900 ,000, 900 between the goods anc
services that would be produced ir
full employment and the volume ol
goods and services that are beine
produced.
In human terms such a gar
means 10000, 900 men out of work
In other words, they start by as.
Stunning catastrophe economi,
crisis and then throw up their hand
in despair at the amount of none,
it would cost to pull US out of such
a crisis.
Doesn't Mean ReEimenta ton.
Those who argue that continuin,
full employment means regimenta
ton are themselves sowing the seed
OF economic and political revolution
No hostile foreign agent could d,
more to wreck the fabric of ou
society than to tell our people tina
unemployment is the price we pa,
for free enterprise"
Led by Senators Radcliff, Demo
crat, OF Maryland and Taft, Repub
lican. of Ohio, the minority groul
laid the groundwork in their repor
for fight to obtain amendments
that would require the volume O
public spending to bear some rela
tion to the other obligations of tn,
Government at any given time, ant
also to be so limited or accom-
panied by taxes that would cover tn,

The non-industrial states, COM

countered few of the thorny prob

Consequently, the postwar trend
in this region Is toward establish
