RIGHT TO STRIKE

NEW YORK CITY (WDL) - The

bill attacks labors right to strike by

Max Delson, Workers Defense League
national counsel, declared in state

ton to the bill.
In releasing Mr.. Delson's statement,
WDL national chairman Rev. Aron S.
Gilmartin, declared: 1.-THE right to
cease work is fundamental in de
mocracy All concerned with the
maintenance of the democratic way
of life should oppose the Federal In

passed would emasculate the National
Labor Relations Act which is essen

and EMPLOYMENT

CAS- goes reconversion, so goes our
| future" is the message of the second
in monthly series of pamphlets pub
lished by the CLIO Political Action
Committee and released to CLIO unions
throughout the nation today. Circula-
ton of the pamphlet, 1.-THE Peoples
Plan for Reconversion, which urges
that immediate steps" be taken "be-
fore VI Day to prepare for full en-
ployment after the war" is expected
to exceed a quarter-of-a-million copies.
The pamphlet program is part of the
CIO-PAC's educational campaign to
bring vital issues to the attention of
the American public.
Based on clio President Philip Muir
rays seven-point reconversion pro-
gram, the pamphlet enumerates and
explains the steps necessary to pre-
vent widespread unemployment in the
postwar period.
1t calls for higher basic wage rates
up to 200 and II cents an hour
hourly minimum wage. Take home
pay must be stabilized, the pamphlet
states, for a Sudden cutback in pur-
chasing power of about 2095 of work
ers' income would start the SNOWFALL
of depression rolling down a steep
mountainside to the depths of a de-
preston greater than we ever suf-
fered. The continuance of price
control, including quality grading, and
the OPA is another requisite for post
war economic security.
An increased and improved unem-
ployment compensation program in
line with President Truman's recent
request to congress is also listed as
an essential feature of orderly recon
version. 1--WE ask that unemployment
compensation should be raised to al
low maximum of $25-a-week for a

JURISDIcTL0NAL.
DISPUTE DELAYS
CONSTRUCTION

The heading above does not re-
late to disputes between two or
more labor organizations quarreling
over which one should control work
on a job. 1t pertains to two COM
mttees of the United State senate
engaged in petulant debate over
which one of them should handle
aviation legislation.
While these two committees, the
Interstate Commerce committee
headed by Sen. B. X. Wheeler and
the Commerce committee headed
by Senator Bailey, are scrapping,
$500, 100000 federal aid airport con-
struction bill is stalled and many
states are holding up plans for post
war airport construction to see what
the federal government will do.
The bill introduced by Senator
McCarran provides for distribution
of $100,o00,o00 year for five years
to states on the basis of the states
relative population and one-haH Of
its geographical area.
1t is probable that the states are
not particularly interested in which
committee handles the job. They
are interested in the job. And the
committees and the chairmen are
interested principally in the pres
tige attached to the handling job.

ATTEMPTS TO
BLOCK SALE
farm HOMES

III. L. Mitchell, president of the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union an
nounced that a delegation of farm
laborers from southeast Missouri were
leaving today for Washington in a
final effort to save their homes from
sale to plantation owners by the Farm
Security Administration on July Gath.
The delegation will appear before
subcommittee of the house agricul-
tural committee holding hearings on
H. r. 3071 ON Tuesday, July 10th
Hon. w. r. Poage of Texas is chair.
man of the subcommittee.
The legislation under consideration
provides that the Secretary of Agri
culture shall be authorized to sell or
long terms the $50 houses located in
10 communities in southeast Missouri
known as the Delmo Labor Homes
to present residents and other farm
worker families who want to purchase
the houses, lots, and furniture as
homes of their own While in Wash
ington, the delegation will also call on
the new Secretary of Agriculture,
Clinton Anderson, to ask his aid
In the meantime, the Farm Security
Administration has advertised the
project for sale at public auction on
July gath. Under the advertised
terms, the houses are to be torn down
and moved by the purchasers and the
communities broken up. The South
ern Tenant Farmers Union, prominent
individuals, and liberal organizations
throughout the state of Missouri have
aided the residents in their fight to
preserve the Delmo Labor Homes as
family dwellings.
Mitchell charged that the Farm Sc
curity Administrator, Frank Hancock,
is aiding and abetting a small group
of vicious plantation owners in south
east Missouri who have long tried to
break up the Delmo Labor Homes and
thus destroy the bargaining power of
farm workers who because they have
decent housing and live in normal
communities are able to secure better
wages on the nearby plantations.
Mitchell stated that while Farm Sc
curity Administration was set up by
congress to help low income farm
families, its policies under Hancock's
administration have been to aid the
rich at the expense of the poor
Mitchell also said congress laid down
policy in 1943 requiring FSA to
liquidate it's holdings in subsistence
housing projects for semi-urban fami-

Missoula institution to replace
DR.. Melby who will leave that
post vacant on September l.
A special committee to investigate
present candidates and to look over
the field for other prospective candi-
dates for the two important vacancies
was appointed. Elizabeth Ireland,
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion Dr. Emmett j. Riley of Helena
and John @. Zuck of Poplar were
named on this committee.
Names of applicants for the two
important university positions were
withheld from publication by the
board as failure by the board to act
favorably on them might injure them
to some extent in the future. 1t is
quite common knowledge however,
that one of the candidates for the
executive position is recognized as
outstanding in the educational field, is
large state universities on the Allan
tic seaboard where he held the posi-
ton of dean of a department, now a
major in the air forces He is also
veteran of the first world war, author
and editor of a number of books in
the education field and consulting edi-
tor of one of the largest organizations
of textbook publishers in the United
States.
Despite this mans standing in the
educational field and his obvious quail
ifications to fill Imposition, the board
failed to agree on securing his serv-
ices, and action deferred until spe-
cial meeting is held next month. 1t
is understood however, that this man
will not be candidate then, and it
is unlikely that the services of any
outstanding man can be secured at
that time, the imminence of the com
ing school year then being so close
and practically every qualified person
already under contract.
DR.. A. G. Peterson of Plattsburg,
New York was the one of three can
didates for presidency of the Montana
State Normal at Billings who was Sc
lected by the board. He will assume
the office Immediately, replacing DR..
L. B. Mcmillan who is retiring be-
cause of age.
The board approved a contract be-
tween the Bonneville Power Admins
tration and Montana State College I'M
der which the public power admins
tration will make a study of utiliza- !
ton of electricity in small irrigation |
pumping plants along the Clark's
Fork, Flathead and Kootenai rivers in |
Montana. The Bonneville administra-
ton has agreed to pay most of the |
costs of the study which will be car
ried out under direction of the state
agricultural experiment station, the
department of rural engineering and
the department of agricultural eco
nomics. j. D. Matthews was named I

0PA CHECKING GAS
OCTANE RATING

Samples of premium grade gasoline
have been collected by OPA investi-
gators during the past few weeks in
a check to determine whether the
gasoline being sold at premium prices
has an octane rating of rs or more,
as required by law. The District In
formation Office of the OPA in Hell
ena reports that the samples were
taken from stations of all companies
in widely scattered parts of the state,
and that the samples are now being
checked by testing laboratory. This
action is in line with OPA's continued
efforts to see that consumers are not
charged over the ceiling price, and
that the product purchased at prem
ium price is actually premium prod
uct.
