Labor Rally Here Asks
Immediate Passage Of
Full Employment Bill

Immediate action by Congress to
pass the unemployment compensa-
ton bill and the full employment
bill "as originally presented" was
urged last night In a resolution
unanimously adopted at . mass
meeting sponsored jointly by the
Washington CIO Industrial Union
Council and the District Council of
United Federal Workers Of America
tCIO).
The rally, which almost filled the
interior Department Auditorium,
urged that Federal workers be in
cluded In jobless benefit payments
as provided in the Kilgore-Forand
unemployment compensation meas
ure. This bill, 1t was pointed out,
has been kept in the House Ways
and Means Committee since its
passage by the Senate.
The resolution also called for
passage of the Downey bill for 20
per cent base pay increase for Fed
eral workers, enactment Of a 65-cent
minimum wage and passage Of legis-
lation for a permanent FEPC, among
other measures.
Congress Record Hit.
The action was taken after Repre-
sentative Celler, Democrat, OF New
York had Joined other speakers in
criticizing Congress for its record
to date on dealing with reconversion
problems affecting the welfare of
labor.
Mr.. Celler charged that some
interests do not want full employ
ment, because unemployment makes
labor cheaper and "easier to man
age"
He especially attacked Senate
changes in the full employment
bill through which, he said, the
Government divorces itself from
full employment as policy. The
effect, he said, is to say g mans
job is his own business-if he can
get one"
This bill is now before the House
Committee on Expenditures for
Government Departments.
Robert Lamb, national legislative
director for the United Steelwork-
ers of America and secretary Of the
CIO Legislative Committee, de-
plored the failure of Congress to
carry out President Truman's re-
conversion program, warning that
q serious depression will result un-
less action is taken Immediately.
He urged a concerted effort to have
the President and congressional
supporters take the issue to the
country4f # the program is not adopt
ed soon.
Other Speakers Heard.
Other speakers included Arthur
Stein, national secretary treasurer
of the United Federal Workers of
America; Henry Beitscher, presi-
dent Of the District Council, UFWA;
Thomas Richardson, national vice
president, UFWA; Robert Sherman,
president of the Washington C1O
Industrial Union Council, and N

consin St9.e delegation of the CIO,
now in Washington.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia, who was scheduled
TO be q. speaker, was unable to at
tend b'T sent message to the

Following the meeting, arrange
ments we're made for members of
the audience to send kilograms to

ous unemployment measures.
