Threaten General
Strike To Answer
Police Violence

Philadelphia-(FP).-Asu suspenseful
calm hung over the city March / as
a scheduled demonstration Of strikers
and sympathizers at the General Elec-
trio Eastwick plant, scene of mass po-
lice brutality against workers in the
preceding two days, was called off by
union leaders pending a possible gen.
eral strike.
An attempt to march on City Hall
the day before by $500 striking mem
bers of United Electrical Radio & Ma

1000 police charged into the parade
Swinging riot clubs, trampling work
ers with their horses and pursuing
others by motorcycle, the blue coated
guardians of the city of brotherly love
seriously hurt about "a demonstrators
and arrested II for melting to riot.
Later in the day 10000 UE workers
threw 2-hOur picketline around City
Hall in protest.
"GE and Westinghouse are using
injunctions and police brutality in
cities such as Philadelphia, Newark
and Bloomfield, n. j., rather than fol-
low the national wage pattern and
settle with their 175,000 striking en-
ployes," he said, asserting that "po-
lice clubs won't substitute for wage in

NAM SHIFTS TO
ATTACK ON OPA

New York-(FP).-Indications that
the Natl. Assn. Of Manufacturers may
change strategy in its battle against
price control from pressure for out
right abolition of OPA to amendments
that will remove its teeth are given
in the current NAM News.
While the MANS 100000 ads and
public statements have called for an
immediate end to all price controls,
the NAM News tips off NAM mem
bers that "most congressman seemed
to feel that ceilings will continue con-
trolls and yet will remove restrictions
from production. Privately, some ad-
ministration supporters and former
enthusiastic price control proponents
admit uneasiness
Before OPA is continued there
are many more questions to be asked,
many speeches to be made and many
votes on proposed amendments to be
taken in House and Senate"
The NAM tipsheet also reveals that
Pres. Edward O'Neal Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, the big
business-farm bloc outfit, ''flatly re-
jected" a plea by Sterilization Direc-
tor Chester A. Bowies to go along with
the OPA proposal to continue food
subsidies amounting to $1,7O0,000, 600.
The NAM admits that Subsidies hold
down food costs to consumers" but
says the farmers" (meaning the farm
bloc) oppose them on grounds that
"the country as whole is better able
than ever before to pay for its grocery
bill"
The NAM sheet reported as con-
Germs the Case anti-strike bill that "the
outlook for labor legislation was not
too promising" and ranted at the ad-
ministration's housing program, espec-
tally price ceilings and subsidy pro-
visions. Declaring that the ''initia-
tive of businessmen will be stifled," it
complained that the "needs of veterans
are winning support for the housing
controls" and limited that veterans
were being used as ''bait to get votes
for new experiment in government
control"
In a more joyful key, the NAM
organ crows "Full Employment Dead,
Long live, etc" explaining that the
full employment act of 1916 which was
signed by Pres. Truman was 'not the
full employment bill" Boasts the
NAM, which lobbied hard to accomp-
lish this: "Nowhere in the act are the
words full employment There is no
guarantee of jobs for everyone"

Pickets Injure

Tucker told how his upraised, clinch-

the gas was effective. At the height
of the clash, while the police were
allegedly being beaten by pickets,
Tucker was busy tipping over cans
filled with water in which the strik-
ers might have dipped handkerchiefs
to ward off effects of the fumes.
Asked what he did when he saw the
pickets attacking his brother officers,
Tucker said, amid roars of laughter
from courtroom spectators:

Herzog Says NLRB DeloY
MdY Have Hurt GIN Strike

Washington (FP) The NLRB de-
layed issuing a complaint against Gen
eral Motors despite a possibility that
such action might have resulted in a
settlement of the long strike of the
United Auto Workers, the Senate la
Dor committee was told Feb. 28.
NLRB Chairman Paul NJ Herzog
made the admission, accepting "fall
responsibility" for the hesitancy, in
replying to query from Sen. George
Aiken Or, Vt.)
Aiken asked Herzog if the GM en-
ployes had not been deprived Of the
protection Of the Wagner act by the
delay. He suggested that the auto cor
poration had been given an advantage,
particularly since it had been publicly
reported that GM hoped to break the
strike if it continued past March /.
The NLRB sat on the unions charges
from early in November, 1915, until
January of the current year before
citing GIN for unfair labor practices in
refusal to bargain.
Herzog replied that he took "full
responsibility" for the NLRB's posi-
ton, and that he believed it would
have been unwise to cite GIN for unfair
labor practices at time when Pres.
Truman's fact-finding board was con-
sidering the case and while Sec. of
Labor Lewis Schwellenbach was in
volved.
The NLRB chief admitted that had
the board acted promptly, public opin-
ion might "have swung to the union,
and perhaps aided in reaching a set
tlement"
Herzog was a witness at the COM
mittee's hearing on the Case anti
labor bill, which he roundly criticized.
The bills provision giving an entirely
new mediation board the right to as
sumo jurisdiction in two types Of
cases now handled by the NLRB was
attacked by Herzog as unnecessary
because Of the NLRB's 10 year record.
As to supervisory employees, barred
from the protection of unions under
the Case measure, Herzog warned this
might shave a disturbing effect in
those industries where foremen have

been organized for many years-such
as the printing, building and maritime
trades"
Touching on the ban against organ-
izing agricultural employees into
unions, he said the Case bill would
deny protection to persons employed
in processing, packaking, grading and
all other handling operations of fruit
and vegetables" He said the board
believes this amendment is not adj.
visable Moreover, it does not bear
any relation to the other purposes of
the Case bill. 1t is not in the interest
Of farmers, but of the operators Of

Henry Kdiser
Urges Notion
Support OPA
Criticizes NAM
On Ad Campaign

Washington-(FP).-In a hard-hit-
ting statement before the House bank
ing committee March /, Henry ]. Kai-
ser, Hercules of American wartime in
dustry, gave his complete support to
the program of curbing initiation by
price control through the OPA.
The dynamic business leader, who
is the head of rs industries operating
80 plants and producing 130 products,
said "the initiation which we are called
upon to fight today is due in major
part to the tremendous demand for
goods of all kinds throughout the
world. i. Our huge national income
has swelled the demand for ample
food, new clothing and adequate shell
ter. The price of these necessities is
our first concern. They must not be
priced beyond the peoples reach"
Kaiser said the experience of his
50 firms had been that the OPA had
not only been of benefit to them dur
ing the recent months, but that they
had been accorded fair and equitable
treatment by OPA.
He criticized the recent newspaper
ad campaign by the Natl. Assn. of
Manufacturers which urged the aban-
donment of OPA, saying that the
NAM might have done we'll to poll the
employees of its member concerns for
their viewpoint on the matter.
81 know that the NAM has not ap-
preached us for our viewpoint" said
Kaiser for the firms which he heads.
The industrialist said that if OPA
were ended his firms would have to
raise their prices for a short while
because of the increases in materials
costs which would Immediately follow
the ending of price control. "Then we
would have to retrench," he said,
meaning the layoff of perhaps two
thirds of our workers."

Mr.. Dilworth hastily. "Right now you

"Sixty-eight and half cents a

"Why, of course" said Mr.. Dill
