labor-management cooperation has

and representatives Of st. Louis laun-
dry and dry cleaning plants.

Accept Arbitration
In LOngshOre Dispute

New York (FP).-The International
Longshoremen's Association (AFL)
and shipowners accepted suggestion
by Secretary of Labor Lewis b.
Schwellenbach Oct. 20 that he name
arbitrators jointly with the War Lab
or Board to mediate the contract dis
pute which led to an 18-day water
front strike here.
Acceptance was announced after a
meeting between negotiating commit
tees of the two parties. Previously
lila President Joseph P. Ryan had
asked Schwellenbach to name the arbi
traitor or arbitrators himself, while
the shipowners had proposed that the
WLB assume that task.
Ryan said it was immaterial wheth-
er one or three arbitrators were
chosen. Points at dispute include the
unions demand for reduced sling
loads, double time for lunch hours
worked and other improvements in
working conditions.

British Medical
Trust Exposed BY
Own Membership

Detroit-(FP). - Socially minded
doctors in Detroit are reading with
glee the story, just received from the
British Labor party, of how the Brit.
| ish Medical Assn, known as the Brit.
ish medical trust, was repudiated by
| its own members on the question OF
a government health plan for all Brit
ishers.
The plan goes mmeasurably farther
than Pres. Truman's health proposals
because most of his plan has been
British law for over 80 years. When
the British plan in the form Of a
government report was published in
England the leaders Of the British
Medical Assn, viciously attacked it,
just as the American Medical Assn,
attacks all efforts here to extend gov
ernment health protection to the work
erS.
Then remarkable thing happened.
The medical trust, confident that its
reactionary views were shared by its
membership, sent out QUESTIONABLE
OF, the government plan. But the men,
bership by huge majorities favored
the plan in face of their own leaders
opposition.
an regard to the health centers for
instance" says the material from the
British Labor party, though the lead
ership of the BMA wished to limit
them to a few experimental centers,
68% of all doctors who replied, and
1870 of doctors already in some form
of the government health service, ap-
proved of the health center principle.
Of those in favor, some two out Of
every three wanted them to be ma
ternity and child welfare and school
medical treatment.
at seems clear therefore that the
leaders of the medical profession have
by their reactionary and selfseeking
tactics misrepresented the doctors as
whole and have lost the respect of the
public"
The Detroit doctors, who would
rather not face the formidable wea-
pons of the American Medical Assn,
by disclosing their identity, intimate
that the doctors i'm America are also,
on the whole, far more progressive
than their leaders. Among the forms
of intimidation used by the medical
trust in this country are forbidding
doctors to use hospitals,
declining to send patients to progress
sive specialists and blasklisting in
general.

PREXY INDICTED
FOR STRIKE ASSAULT

Bel Air, Md. - (FP). - That old
hustle and fight so appreciated by
bleacher fans in New York's stadium
got Yankee Pres. Larry MacPhail of
the American League club into some
thing worse than being sent to the
showers when he used his fists to pro-
test against strike action by the in
dependent telephone workers in their
recent nation wide stoppage.
MacPhail's ire was aroused Oct. 3
when the Bel Air exchange was un-
able to complete a call from his coun-
try estate near here to New York.
He stormed into the telephone COM
pany office and began taking direct
action-just as his hired hands do
with an umpire whose eyesight they
feel has been faulty.
The local grand jury has indicted
MacPhail on a charge of assault and
disorderly conduct. The indictment
claims the baseball club owner struck
Mrs. Anna Towner, the operator, and
her superior, Manager Thomas Dwy-
er, who interceded for her.

Hit Use Of 1000
Cops TO Protect
Gerald L. Smith

Los Angeles-(FP).-In Los
Angeles citizens are demanding to
know why 1000 armed, helmeted
policemen were used to defend Gerald
l.. X. Smith from hecklers and pickets
at the fascist's third appearance here
In an open letter to the city's police
commission, the Mobilization Of De-
mocracy condemned the unlawful
use of the Los Angeles Police Dept.
to aid and further the designs Of a
domestic fascist" and demanded an
open hearing to air its charges in full.
More than 500 organizations repre-
senting thousands Of citizens are
banded together in the Mobilization,
with State Atty. Gen. Robert w. Ken
ny as their chairman.
Eight hundred helmeted cops, carry
ing riot clubs and gas masks, were
stationed around the Polytechnic
Highschool auditorium where Smith
spoke long before a protest demon
stration swelled to between 10000 and
$4,000 pickets and onlookers.
Fascist hating servicemen, ex-ser-
vicemen, minority people and union
lists took seats in the auditorium when
the police Gordon finally swung open
the doors. Inside the hall uniformed
and plainclothes police checked enter
ing people, then ranged themselves in
solid lines along both walls. Soon they
were joined by helmeted police stand
ing front to back down each aisle of
the main floor and holding long riot
clubs as If they were rifles.
In the balcony where most union
lists found seats, plainclothesmen were
spotted in strategic places in the aisles
and along the walls.
As Smith began speaking a group
of uniformed servicemen raised news
papers and read them ostentatiously.
Then they arose in body and hiked
out. Police made room for the service
men to pass and didn't try to arrest
them.
Since the Smith meeting the board
Of education, which has three times
been visited by citizens protesting the
granting of a school auditorium to a
fascist, has adopted gag rule on the
question.
Under its new policy protests of the
use Of schools by outside speakers
must be made in writing at least IL
days before the date of the permitted
meeting The boards gag rule would
give Smith or others like him three
days to answer charges.

End of Wartime FEPC Seen
The closing of all but of the re-
gional offices Of the wartime FEPC
reflects the growing ineffectiveness of
that agency, and foreshadows its end.
Reports from almost every section of
the country definitely indicate indus
try's reconversion to the prewar pat
tern of job discrimination, with some
sections showing that so percent of
job orders are discriminatory, the
council says.
Legislation to set up permanent

tee, emphasizes Mrs. Hedgeman in
the bulletin, is high on the Senate
calendar. There aren't the parlia-
mentary blocks in the Senate the
Rules Committee interposed in the
House. The fact that the Senate
First" strategy has been used by the
administration in attempting to steer
through Congress the Presidents con-
troversial 'must" legislation-bills
like full employment, minimum wage,
public housing, and health bill makes
it sound to follow.
Mrs. Hedgeman points out that the
traditional treatment of the legisla-
tion affecting minorities has proved
bankrupt in that such bills passed the
House only to be killed in the Senate.
Passage of FEPC i'm the Senate would
then put the FEPC issue squarely up
to House all Of whose members come
up for reelection next year.
House Fight Pressed
Mrs. Hedgeman writes in the bull
letin, "The National Council has ex-
panded and intensified it's activity in
the campaign to win signatures for
the petition to discharge the House
bill. 1t has sent field organizers into
districts whose congressman failed to
sign. But the petition campaign is Of
necessity slow-and events cannot
wait on it's ultimate success. May
say that the national council has fully
explored all possible methods of
bringing legislation'to the floor of the
House. Only avenues are feasible
for Legislation as controversial as the
FEPC bill. The usual avenue via the
Rules Committee has been tried. AS
everyone knows it was blocked by the
6 to 6 vote i'm that committee. The
petition campaign remains today the
only feasible method Of bringing II. X.

Reservisf Would
Organize Vets For
Open Shop Drive

Washington--(FP).-A privately

hibtionist, Capt. Edward Page Gas
ton, announced Nov. % he had started
campaign "to secretly enroll return
ing service men and women and others
in industry to smash labor union ty-

CASTOR, who assumes his military
title from his position as a staff reser-
visit in the New York national guard,
Guard of America, Inc, "works under
cover and has powerful secret con-
nections in 40 states. We guardsmen
have contacts with many thousands
of mechanicians and other trained
workers who can operate motorcar
assembly lines, transit systems and
other branches of industry. We are
prepared to throw these forces into
strike-bound plants in any part of
the country without regard to union
affiiation."
Not only is CASTOR ready to use his
paper organization for strikebreaking,
but he enlarged on the subject to add
that "in case of lawless uprising, |
have offered our services to Pres. Tru-
man; also to General Motors, the Natl.
Assn. of Manufacturers and others

ton"
