WALLA WALLA, WASH. -
GPA) -, Three new coopera-
tive hospitals are being organ
lied in this state, as a result of
a whirlwind tour through this
territory in August by DR.. Mi
chael Shadid.
DR.. Shadid, pioneer in the
field of cooperative, prepaid
medical care for low-income
families, is best known for his
hospital and health center in
Elk City, Okla. This was started
in 1929, and has survived and
been extremely successful in
serving the area despite attacks
by the American Medical Assn.
and other reactionary bodies
Plans for coop hospitals are
already under way in Salem,
Ore, at Sand Point and Buhl,
Idaho. Representatives of the
Farmers Union, the regional sup
ply cooperative, the Grange and
local business men all have been
involved in the preliminary
work.

Senate
Debates
JobIess Paw

WASHINGTON, Sept. II -
(LPA) - An emasculated job
less pay bill has been reported
out for debate on the floor of
the Senate. The Administration
asked for emergency unemploy-
ment compensation benefits for
jobless workers up to a maxi
mum of $25 a week, for up to
26 weeks. What they got is a bill
that will keep on starvation liv-
ing standards the float of un-
employed" which some indus
trialists admit they want.
The only gesture toward cas-
ing the human reconversion"
difficulties to which President
Truman referred in his mes
sage to Congress is a provision
in the bill to extend state bene-
fits, for a period 60% beyond
their present duration, with
Federal funds. Even this will be
done only on the written re-
quest of the states governors.
This, AFL and CIO spokesmen
here charge, is simply prolog-
ing the difficulties that jobless
workers will have trying to live
on $12 or SIS a week while
they hunt for work.
Unionists, in their testimony
before the Senate Finance Com
mittee, asserted that the low
rates paid in some states were
encouraged by sweatshop pro-
prietors and manufacturers who
wanted to keep wages down.
Include Federal Workers
Only provision left from the
original Kilgore Bill, supported
unanimously by labor as an
emergency measure, is the in
clusion of Federal employees -
100000 strong and mari
time workers, neither of whom
are able to get benefits at pre-
sent.
Transportation home, or to
other places where jobs await
them, up to 5000, is to be pro-
vided for workers in the version
of the bill reported to the floor.
A bitter fight on the floor is
expected, since Senator Kilgore
with labor backing is planning to
try to substitute all or parts of
his original bill.
Only record vote in the
Senate committee was on the
amendment of Sen. Eugene D.
Millikin whic h established

Unions Wont
Housing Bill

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Both
AFL and CIO legislative repre-
sentatives here have indicated
that they expect action in the
near future on the Wagner Post
war Housing Bill.
Both labor federations are
convinced that they have to put
on very strong campaign If the
bill is to pass over the bitter op-
position of conservative Senators
and profits-seeking homebuild-
ers' lobibes.

facturers on exactly how TO
force OPA to grant higher
prices-a and incidentally
higher profits-on the new sets.
The industry representative
here, r. c. Cosgrove. actually
sent kilograms TO the manufac-
turers telling them that they
couldn't operate profitably un-
der the OPA reconversion pric-
ing program.
1t has been known previously
that the radio parts manufactur-
ers were ''on strike" until they
got higher prices. This is con-
firmed by a Production Bulle-
tin mailed last week fr o m
Washington to the members of
the Assn. "The radio industry
shutdown, both production and
employment, is continuing be-
cause of OPA pricing policy on
civilian radio" the bulletin
starts.
Unions Attack OPA
Both AFL and CIO have at
tackled OPA's pricing methods
from the standpoint that the
agency is too lax in obtaining
cost data, and that the methods
used invite manufacturer to
set their own ceilings. Even
liberal OPA policies, leaning
heavily in the direction of the
manufacturers, are more than
the radio industry will stand
for.
At a meeting of a group of
Chicago manufacturers wi h
OPA officials last week, the
claim was made that because
labor's hourly wage rates had
more than doubled in SO m e
cases, the set manufacturers
would have TO get much higher
prices. They frankly admitted
their workers had been under
paid in previous years, but their
claims were too exhorbitant for
some Of those present to
stomach. One small manufac-
turer, Allen Shoup, finally got
up and reminded the industrial

leadership that many plant man
agements are trying to wear
you out with petty grievances
in order to prevent you from
concentrating on your economic
rights" He told the large audi
ence that the real issue at stake
was the 80 per cent increase in
wages and that they should not
permit themselves to be deceived
by any provocative acts of man
agement until they had achieved
the desired wage gains.
BIames PAC Failure
Blame for the situation which
exists today in the automotive
industry was laid at the door of
the workers for not supporting
PAC. I'VE could have done in
the halls Of Congress what we
are now preparing to walk the
streets to win," he said. He
urged those present to not only
give PAC their backing, but to
seek the active support of the
workers in their shops.
Following Director Gosser's
talk, there was a brief question
and answer period. One of the
shop officers then moved that
the UAW program be given the
backing of the Toledo Auto
Workers. The measure was
passed unanimously followed
loud applause from the entire
audience.
