Opening Cur In
Lubor Witch Hunt

Washington-(FP). - Violating an
agreement to withhold labor legisla-
ton until the labor Encouragement con-
ference has ended, reactionaries on the
House rules committee-champing at
the bit to smash labor-Nov. 21 greas-
ed the way for two bills described by
labor organizations as the most vic
ious ever introduced in Congress.
The committe granted rules to the
Hobbs bill CHR 32) and the Smith
May bill CHR 3937) as union auto
workers hit the pavement coast to
coast in the General Motors strike. It's
action assured early consideration of
the measures while congressional labor
baiters are at white heat over the
auto workers attempt to maintain
their wages in struggle with GIN.
The Smith-May bill, amending the
Smith -Connally act, would forbid
unions to solicit funds, pass assess
ments, accept contributions or spend
any money in connection with any po-
litical convention, primary or election
would illegalize strikes and make
unions subject to damage suits if a
strike or other concerted failure OF
refusal to work" occurs under a con-
tract containing no-strike clause.
The Hobbs bill provides up to &c
years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine
for variety of offenses including
conspiracies or attempts to threaten
violence and defines dues collections
in certain circumstances, even with
ing, with the same penalties.
Rep. Hugh DeLacy Cd, Wash.) has
warned that the bill could be used tC
outlaw the collection of union dues.

FWA Chief Holds Peace
Hinges On L. S. Jobs

Kansas City (lLNS). = Hope OF
maintaining world peace depends
largely on continuing full employment
in the United States, Maj. Gen. Philip
B. Fleming, administrator of the Fed
eral Works Agency, told the Kansas
City Chamber of Commerce.
Discussing his recent trip to Europe,
Gen. Fleming said he could not help
but notice that "much of Europe is
living in fear of a severe postwar de-
preston"
"The bitter taste of the lean years
of the sos still fingers and, rightly
or wrongly, Europeans generally are
convinced it was the collapse of Amerl-
can industry in 1929 which dragged
them into the depths of depression
Fleming added.
Accordingly, | believe that much
of current European political maneu-
vering can best be understood in the
light of an attempt to isolate herself
from the consequences of another
postwar depression in the United
States"

Free Speech Alibi
Of Boss Rejected

When an employer stages fierce
campaign to defeat a union in an
election, that isn't an exercise of the
fright of free speech" guaranteed un-
der the Constitution.
So National Labor Relations Board
trial examiner held this week when
he found the Clark Brothers Com
pany, Inc, of Olean, N. Y, guilty of
trying to smash bona fide union
at it's plant in violation Of the Wag-
ner Act.
The examiner, Arthur Left, found
that the management, on the eve OF
an election among the workers to
choose bargaining agency, conducted
a vicious - and successful - drive to
intimidate the workers into selecting
Company union" rather than a
local of the Automobile Workers
Union.
The management published special
newspapers attacking the regular un-
ion and all organized labor; sent
leaflets along the same line to en-
ployes' homes; ran big scare adver-
tisements against the union in the
city's daily paper, and called together
the employees on company time to
listen to speeches denouncing "out-
side" unions.

81 Strike Vote
Bv S+eeIworkers

Pittsburgh-(FP).-Turning out to
NLRB polls in the largest mass strike
vote in the history of this nation,
steelworkers throughout the country
voted nearly to / to strike unless
the industry meets the demands of
United Steelworkers for So daily
wage increase.
Incomplete returns Nov. 20 show
ed 281 ,O47 to 59,042 in favor of a
nationwide walkout and indicated that
about 70% of 100000 eligible workers
took part in the polling.
Voting was orderly and unmarked
by demonstrations. Workers in about
1000 steel plants in virtually every
part of the u. S. went to the polls
quietly, giving little sign in their out
ward behavior that their behavior
might lead to a showdown fight be-
tween the union and almost the entire
steel industry. Every steel firm in the
nation was involved in the vote with
the single exception of the Weirton
Steel Corp. go
: The strike mandate strengthened
the bargaining hand of union officials
who repeatedly expect renewed at
tempts as negotiation with the indus
try before calling the strike some
time after Christmas.
Votes from the major steel centers
showed whopping majorities in favor

largest steel producing center, strike
was backed by 1918 to 2l,O59. The
Baldwin Locomotive Works in Burn

at Bethlehem Steel Corp, Natl. Tube
Co., Natl. Supply Co., and Pittsburgh
Foundry Corp, indorsed a strike.

Get Troops Out
Of Chino. House
Group Urges

Washington-(FP) Immediate re-
call of all American troops, transports
and supplies from China, where it
was charged American Ambassador
Patrick j. Hurley had committed us
to armed intervention" was demand
ed in House resolutions introduced
Nov 26 by Rep. Hugh De Lacy Cd,
Wash.) and five other west coast
Democratic representatives.
In blstering speech on the House
floor, DeLacy, member of Init. Assn.
of Machinists (AFL) from Seattle,
warned that U. S. armed Intervention
in China was creating the basis for
another great war this time
against the Soviet Union, launched
from great bases in the Pacific, from
Japan whose militarists we have
not yet rooted out, from anti i-Commu-
mist bases in North China"
DeLacy accused Hurley and Lit. Gen.
Albert C. Wedemeyer of "step by
step" reversing the late Pres. Roose-
velt's policy of guaranteeing the right

of government.
"Why," he demanded "do we make
large-scale civil war possible in
China by providing equipment and
transporting Chang Kai-shek's troops
into an area where he has so little
support among the people that he
must keep the Japs and their puppet
troops armed as part of his war
against his own northern country
men 2"
The congressman said the State
Dept.'s explanation that American
troops were needed in China to in
sure the surrender of japanese armies
'blew up when press dispatches be-
gan to reveal, first, that in areas
where the Communicated troops were
strong the Japs and the puppet Chi
nese troops were being quickly dis
armed, and second, that in some areas
where the marines and central gov
ernment troops took over, the Japan
ese and puppet troops were permitted
to keep their arms and ordered to
stand guard over strategic railroads" :"
Discounting the menace of commu-
nism in China, DeLacy said: -"The Chi
nese Communists stand for simple
program, which has long ago been
achieved in western nations-a pro-
gram of simple land and tax reforms
and of free elections"

Files Wagner Act
Suit Against Co.

Philadelphia-(FP) - SKI Indus
tries Inc, was accused Of unfair labor
practices in suit filed with the NLRB
by United Steelworkers as mass
picket line went into its seventh week
at the strikebound plant.
Charging the company with lock-
out of its 1900 employees, Richard
Davidson, regional director of the
union, said ski was violating the
Wagner act by refusing to bargain
with the local on wage rates. The
unions suit lays "the groundwork for
claims against the company by its en-
ployes which may well exceed the 81
million for which the company is
suing" Davidson said.
He referred to an earlier suit
brought by the company, which is
seeking damages from the union and
it's officers because mass picketing
has prevented supervisory and office
personnel from entering the plant.

Military personnel on duty in civil
ian jobs" he continued, should be
discharged from the service, if they
qualify on points, or transferred to
other duties of purely military nature.
Essentially civilian jobs in the War
and Navy Departments should be re-
stored to civilian occupancy at the ear
liest date possible.
The Civil Service Commission re-
ports that the number Of government
employees was reduced by 238,l85 in
September. This means, Of course,
the abolition Of many positions, and
the thrusting Of many thousands of
skilled and experienced employees into
the ranks of the unemployed.
"These displaced civilian workers
want work.
"Many of the military personnel
still on duty in the War and Navy
Departments want to get out of uni
form and back to civil life.

this month. The attention of the huge
crowd in attendance was focused on
the new streamlined Union Label booth
which was the most interesting dis
play at the women's big show.
Next year on October % through
November z, the Union Label Trades
Department will sponsor its second
A. +. Of l.. Union Label and Industrial
Exhibition at St. Louis, Missouri. 1t
will be similar but larger than the
exhibition held in Cincinnati in 1898
where, in 233 booths, unionized manu-
facturers and merchandisers displayed
their Union Label products. In addition
to the educational value of these ex-
hibitions, outstanding entertainment
is furnished by stars of radio and
screen.
Among its, varied activities the
Union Label Trades Department is
giving a great deal of attention to
smaller manufacturers and industries.
1t is cooperating with smaller and
medium-sized businesses that have col
lective bargaining agreements with
A. F. of l.. unions to maintain these
important institutions in our American
economy. A majority of members OF
A. F. Of l.. unions are employed by
average sized business establishments
When they display the Union Label
on their products, the Union Label
Trades directs union-earned money
into these channels of smaller indus
tries which form a certain degree OF
competition to the monopoly threat OF
few giant corporations.
In this connection, the Union Labe
Trades Departments policy is to urge
the greatest protection for American
business in the American market ir
addition to urging all members of lab
or unions, union label leagues, wo-
mems auxiliaries and their families
, to demand union label goods and union
services.
In releasing the annual report, Mr.
Ornburn said, during the next few
years, supreme effort must be made
unions and their families as well as
consumers generally to become unior
label-conscious. Promotion, publicity
and education are the top-level activi
ties of our department. We believe
that the union label idea forms the
best peacetime recovery plan thai
has yet been submitted to maintain
American labor union standards"

like to continue on the jobs they have,
but as civilians. Most of them, how
ever are away from their home
towns, and want to get back, into the
normal peace-time occupations they
left during the war.
"The American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees urges the govern
ment to do the right thing by both
these groups. Let the military per-
sonnel out of uniform or at least
into military jobs. Open the civilian
jobs they are now holding to civilians
