Powerful Lobbies Get No Results
Congress Rejects Proposal Of Insurance Trust-Bocks Land Grab In California Projects Opposed By
 Labor Dropped-Victory For People

Two victories for the people were scored in Congress during the week-One in the House, and the other in conference committee.
 By the same token, two power full Hobbies lost rich prizes for which they had been battling for more than year, and which at one stage of the legislative pro- ceedings seemed almost within their grasp.
 A conference committee closed the door on a $750,O00 lobby-said to be the most powerful that has ever operated at Washington--which has been trying to secure immunity for fire insurance companies from punishment under antitrust and other laws deigned to keep business hon. est.
 The conference report has been ap- proved by both House and Senate and is on its way to the White House.

New York State Rejects Income Tax Ceiling

ALBANY, N. Y.-Attempts to bring New York into millionaire publisher Frank E. Cannett's na- tionwide drive for a constitutional amendment limiting all income taxes to 25% were blocked in the senate by "A to "A tie vote this despite strong support from Re publican leaders.
 The resolution for the Gannett amendment was introduced here by Sen. William Bewley (R.) and strongly defended by majority lead CT Benjamin F. Feinberg, spokesman for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Startling even Republicans, Feinberg insisted that the federal government stop tax ing the big corporations and start collecting from the Allies for money lent during the war. He attacked lend-lease with the stock isolationist slogans about the U, s. being a Santa Claus to every nation in the world"
 Opponents of the bill pointed out that the 25% limit would cut SC billion from federal revenues and would force the government to shift the tax burden to the workers. The resolution, which is being promoted throughout the country by Cannett's Committee on Constitutional Government, has been approved SO far by IF legis- Iatures.

New Council Set Up For Federal Unions

The AFL Executive Council has approved plans submitted by Vice President William C. Doherty for the formation of an affiliated Govern ment Employees Council.
 MT. Doherty, who is President of the National Association of Letter Carriers, announced that all affiliated unions having members employed in the federal government service have been invited to attend a meeting at AFL headquarters in Washington Feb. B at which the new council will be set up.
 The purpose of the council is to pool the strength of government workers organized by the AFL for action to improve the status of such workers.
 The council, MT. Doherty indicated, also will be able to help promote or ganization drives to increase mem berShip of government employees in ap- propriate AFL unions.
 At present, MT. Doherty declared, the chief objectives of the unions which will make up the council are:
 1-Adoption of legislation by Con- gress which will increase the basic pay of government workers which is far out of line with wartime increases in living costs and has not been ad- justed since 1922.
 2-Approval by Congress of legis- lation which will grant actual time and-a-half overtime rates to govern ment workers.

able items.
 A week ago the House put through measure much to the ik- ing of the Insurance Trust. It granted the fire insurance business a mOratOrium-for two to three years the Clayton and Sherman Antitrust acts were to be sus- pended and the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Robin son-P -Patman Anti Discrimination Act were to be suspended indefi- nitely.
 The proposition finally landed in the lap of conference committee, with Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (Dem., Wyo) battling the lobby. The out come was the rejection of the House bill and substitution of a measure passed by the Senate.
 O'Mahoney insists the public i'm terest is protected, while the insur- ance companies are given time in which to put their house in order. Unless the states adopt regulations banning practices forbidden by Federal laws, Uncle Sam can again step into the picture, O'Mahoney said.

bor bill was finally put through the House in the form approved by the Senate a few weeks ago.
 Hayden Deserves Credit
 The legislation is stripped of all features that had been vigorously op- posed by Progressives, including a provision affecting the Central Valley California irrigation project.
 Under this scheme, that part of the irrigation law which provides that no individual may get water for more than 160 acres was junled. That meant the big landowners could keep their estates intact and pocket the in crease in value caused by Uncle Sam'S investment in irrigation works That the California landowners lobby was sent home empty hand ed is largely due to Senator Carl Hayden (Dem., Ariz.), who headed a committee that considered the legislation and fought the land owners grab so vigorously that the Senate refused to have anything to do with it.
 Canal Project Ditched
 The Beaver-Mahoning canal, which has been bobbing up regularly for 20 years, and which was opposed by or ganized railroad workers, was also dropped by the House.
 This project which would cost $60,000,0O0. was backed by big steel interests in the Youngstown (Ohio) district, who would have been almost the sole benehciaries.
 Rail union spokesmen cOntended the canal would divert large vol ume of traffic from the railroads and kill many jobs.
 The Tombigee River project, an- other blow at the railroads and the jobs of railmen, also fell by the way side.

 service in improving the morale and employment conditions of govern mental employees, with resulting benefits to their respective cornmuni- ties by way of better and more eff cient service. And, equally important, they have raised the dignity and stand ing of governmental employees so that HOW, more than ever before, they are recognized as trained and essential personnel, whose importance in the fabric of our society matches that of any other group.
 However, conditions in our own city are not Utopian. There are still areas in our municipal structure wherein employees are fearful of arbitrary and needless loss of posi- tiOns, wherein employees are too apprehensive to register a com pIaint over the operation of de- partmental policy for fear of re- prisals, wherein advancement or promotion is held back or unfairly awarded, and wherein employees are underpaid in comparison with private industry and with the i'm trinsic worth of their positions.
 Tt is our hope and belief that some of these problems can be solved immediately and that gradual pro- gress can be made on the remainder, provided that all of you will join our union. We say this because we know from experience that, whenever all employees join in one union, they tend to shed their fears, they are open in the presentation of ideas, sugges- tions, and complaints for the better ment of both the community and them selves, and by the mere fact of group ing themselves together, they warn those in charge of community that improper and unwarranted conditions and practices will not be tolerated supinely.
 'sBy this, we do not wish to infer that we shall ever advocate, or will ingly permit, a strike of municipal employees. That is taboo. The course that we can take, however. is that of reasonable argument and persuasion, publicity, and educa- ton. We are satisfied that, in the long run, these are adequate, PRO VIDED that they are backed up by an intelligent, civic-minded, cohe- rent union to which every em- rloyee belongs. It was not for nothing that there was coined the expression. Gin union there is strength.
 "On October B, 1914, our Board of Aldermen, by a vote of nineteen to one, passed the ordinance which af- firmed the right of every municipal employee to freely join union of his or her own choosing without fear of discrimination It provided further that department heads shall establish machinery for the adjustment and consideration of grievances, com plaints, problems, and suggestions.
 'Mayor William H. Mortensen, who has expressed his. approval of a union of municipal employees, prompt | ly signed the ordinance the day af- ter its enactment. By the action of your Board of Aldermen and your Mayor, the City of Hartford, your employer, has expressed its whole hearted approval of an organization such as is our union.
 We solicit your immediate mem bership, as we desire your coOpera- tion, assistance and advices in con- nection with the hearings which will be held shortly on the City | RudDet.
