ment Practices Act. Here are
a few of the statements made
by Bilbo in legislative body
that prides itself on being the
most dignified and democratic in
the civilized world:
"If you go through the Gov
ernment departments there are
so many niggers it's like black
cloud all around you"
''The niggers and the Jews of
New York are working hand in
hand. If the niggers will come
north, God bless 'em. I want
them to come north"
"The most disgusting thing in
Washington life is to see nice
sweet girls from North Dakota
being forced to use the same
stools and toilets used by the
Negroes who come from the
slums of Washington, a large
percentage of them affected by
Negro diseases !"
"As l told the Newspaper
Guild (CIO) the other day in a
telegram, if they continue try
ing to promote these fool COM
munistic concepts and crank
ideas through Congress, the
American people will become
fed up with it, there will be
revolution and we will liquidate
the whole damnable crowd"
Il want good homes, colleges,
schools, swimming pools and ball
parks for the niggers. But
don't want t h e m pudding
around and messing in my pool
IF this bill passes they
will be up here going into every
office on Capitol Hill and saying
you'll have to stick some Jews
in your offices"
Some Catholics in this coun-
try are lined with some rabbis
trying to bring about racial
equality for the niggers. Some
of my best friends are Cath
olics. But you can't get away
from the fact that some of them
are rotten"

Increased Migration
Forseen

PRINCETON, N. j., July 8
(LPA)-Faced with estimates
that, after VI day, four to five
million Americans will leave
their homes every year in search
of work, an Institute of Migra-
tory Labor Problems was held
here last week. Participating,
under the sponsorship of Prince
ton Surveys and the Industrial
Relations section of Princeton
University, were representatives
of AFL and CIO, as well as
church, social service agencies,
the National Consumers League,
and the u. S. Departments of
Labor and Agriculture.
Power should be given to the
Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion to regulate the passage of
trucks and other vehicles trans
porting workers from one state
to another, it was urged. There
is no reason to safeguard the
movement of commodities with
out safeguarding the movement

Cufbucks Cleared
By Experts

WASHINGTON, July 2 (LPA)
The confusing cutback and re-
conversion situation was COM
pletely clarified last week by
several reports by government
experts who stayed out in the
sun too long.
War Labor BOard-The little
steel formula saved the nation
from initiation, deflation, o-ar-
expansion, uuder-expansion ana
the whooping cough. The wage
freeze must remain through re-
conversion to prevent the eco
nomy from galloping back to the
horse and buggy days. Because
OF this we are planning a three
year survey on fringe adjust
ments. This will be called the
survey with the fringe on top.
War Manpower Commission
We are going back to funda-
mentals as Calvin Coolidge did
when he declared that, when
you have a large number of
people out of work, then you
have unemployment"
War Production Board-The
situation is fraught with interest.
There may be 100000 unem-
ployed or ON the other hand
there may be a manpower shor-
tage of 100000. We are ex-
pediting the implenting of direc-
tives for the production of pre-
fabricated plastic pandemonium.
Labor Experimentation fig
ures conclusively prove four in
disputable facts: Either (1)
there will be reconversion
slump, or (2) there will not be
a reconversion slump, and (3)
there will be cutback unemploy-
ment, or az there will not be
cutback unemployment. These
are the guideposts for labor and
industry for the coming year.

Congress Stages
|LeuoIized SifdoWn

ASHIN TON, June 80
UPA)-Congress was In the
midst of its sit-6own strike
against President Truman's pro-
posal for increased Federal un-
employment compensation this
week when It was informed by
Economic Sterilization Director
Vinson that IAN adequate un-
employment compensation law Is
our number one requirement for
reconversion."
Despite its urgency, despite
the presidential request, and
despite the fact that hundreds
of thousands of workers will be
laid off before Congress recon-
venes in the fall, little likelihood
is seen for any possible action on
the program before recess.
Vinson, In the third report to
Congress from the Office of War
Mobilization and Economic Stab
ilization, also recommended that
the Wage-Hour Act be amended
to raise the minimum wage from
40 to at least so cents an hour
with provision for further per-
missive increase to a higher
level :" There Is similarly
little chance that Congress will
act on this before ii recesses.
Meanwhile, War Manpower
Commissioner McNutt predicted
that unemployment in the NUM-
tions industry alone will reach
/ 100000 by December. Labor
economists contend that the fig
ure will be much closer to
1000. 900.

City Fofhers Forgot

WASHINGTON (LPA) - ANY
attempt to require a license fee
for union organizers Is "as odi-
ously restrictive as to forbid a
religious congregation to seek
new members" according to the
Washington Post in a recent edi-
torial. The paper assailed a
move by the city of Alexandria,
just across the Potomac from the
nations capital, to prohibit union
organizing in the city without a
permit. The city fathers forgot
about the action of the u. S.
Supreme Court in declaring un-
constitutional similar law
adopted in Texas.

ed to become increasingly
severe as cutbacks come with
greater frequency.
Chief causes for the slump in
take-home pay include: (1) grad
ual elimination of overtime in
thousands of plants, (2) down
grading, (3) lower wage scales
in civilian production plants to
which hundreds of thousands Of
workers are transferring as the
result of cutbacks, "a abandon
ment of bonuses, 80 reduction
of the work week in many plants
from 48 to 40 hours.
Unrest Is Spreading
Meanwhile all sections of or
ganized labor, facing growing
unrest and spreading strikes,
continued their demands this
week that the little steel formula
be broken and a 20% wage in
crease be granted Although the
War Labor Board has held one
or two unpublicized meetings to
discuss revision of the wage
freeze authoritative WPB sources
expressed belief that the basic
wage structure will not be modi-
fled for many months to come.
Even with take-home pay fall
ing a majority of the U. S. public
expects wages to drop still lower
after the war, Gallup Poll dis
closed last week. In response to
the question as to whether the
general wage level will be
higher or lower after the war the
vote was: lower-63 %; about the
same-27%; higher-5%. This
pessimistic outlook was found in
all sections of the public. Broken
down into occupations the poll
showed 500 of business and pro-
fessional workers expect lower
wages; $50 of white collar en-
ployes; 1870 of farmers; 500 of
skilled and unskilled labor. Sew
eral weeks ago the Gallup poll
revealed that the majority of
u. S. wage earners had not been
able to save enough to tide them
over a period of unemployment.

' OF tne FoHtlcdL Action COMMITTEE
AS this column has fire.
quently pointed out, it is the
function of the CIO-PAC to
not only promote social legis-
lation in order to obtain
greater security for the Amer
ican workers, but to Wig
orously defend the gains we
have already made.
One of the outstanding gains
achieved by labor under the
Franklin D. Roosevelt regime
was the protection secured
through the enactment of the
Wagner Act. The Wagner Act
does not guarantee anything
to labor, but it does assure
labor the right to organize.
Many attacks have been
launched against the. Wagner
Act since its enactment. The
latest attack is vicious at
tempt to nullify the Wagner
Act and strangle labor organ
izations. This is the proposed
passage of the Burton, Hatch,
Ball bill.
wRECKER
The Burton, Hatch, Ball bill
now before Congress is de-
signed to wreck the Wagner
Act. 1t would destroy the
safeguards secured to labor
under the Norris-LaGuardia
anti-injunction act; i'm pose
compulsory arbitration for
settlement of disputes; prac-
tically wipe out the right to
strike; virtually outlaw the
union shop and closed shop
create a ridiculous list of "un-
fair practices" which unions
could be prosecuted for violat-
ing; permit unions to be sued
in court, and deprive millions
of workers from the protection
of the Wagner Act,
Properly characterized by
CIO President Phillip Murray
as "a bill to enSlave labor,
the Hatch, Burton, Ball bill is
as vicious piece of legislation
as the American workers have
yet been faced with. 81
This bill will come up for
vote before the legislators who
will be seeking our votes at
election time. 1t is up to us
to let them know that we are
interested in their votes now.
Now is the time to sit down
and write to u. S. Senators
Robert Taft and Harold Bur-
ton and Congressman Homer
Ramey and George Bender and
demand their opposition to this
bill.
p. r.. REPEAL
Time Is growing short on
the deadline ate to file the
