$1,000 ExT0RTION PLOT

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 22-
(ANP)-A 34-year-old college-edu-
Gated Negro veteran is being held
in jail here on $4,000 bond following
apprehension by FBI agents in a
$4,000 extortion plot.
Clyde Edward Richards, the vet
eran, was described by police and
FBI men as night club operator
here. He was arrested when he ap-
peared on the scene to grab an eX
tortion payoff, which FBI agents
had planted" in obedience to writ
ten instructions to an unidentified
white merchant to pay $4,000 or
be exterminated by machlne-gun
bullets.
The extortioner's instruction
called for the money to be wrapped
and dropped in a trash can directly
in front of a store. Police and FBl
agents instructed the use of a
dummy package instead of using
currency. A mixed Gordon of local
policemen and FBI agents was
thrown around the whole area.

YOUTHFUL kIDNAp SExTET
CAPTURED after
ALL-NI6HT SEARCH

LA GRANGE, Ind, July o.
(ANP)-Six alleged kidnapers of
a Chicago taxi driver, two whites
and four Negroes, were captured
near here after an all-night search
throughout this area by 100 police
men and volunteer posse, assem-
bled after Charles Smith, the cab
bic, escaped from his captors and
reported the incident.
Reported heavily armed when
seized, the six youthful abductors
are Lloyd R. Payne, white, de-
scribed as a 22-year-old navy de-
serter; Ruth Elizabeth Mullen, 18,
white, snake charming fugitive
from a carnival, and Mary Ann
Burton, Fl, Chicago; William Nc
Daniel, ID, ST. Louis; John Will
liams, 18, Cleveland, Miss, and
Hugh Vernon, 10, Birmingham, all
Negroes.
Smith said the four Negroes
hailed him about 8 am. at 29th
street and Michigan boulevard, Chi
cago, and forced him to pick up the
white couple. Directing him to head
toward New York City, where they
sal dthey planned a ''life of crime, y
the six prodded him through traffic
on a wild ride for Is hours. In an
attempt to foil the plot, Smith de-
clares he drove in the wrong direc-
tion for three hours, but was forced
to turn about when this wis dos
covered.
Guarded by one of the women
while the others stopped at a restau-
rant to get food, Smith escaped and
flad to police. Trailed by constant
ly mounting numbers of police, the
six. abandoned the cab and hid all
night in woods near here.

ETHIOPIA AND VATICAN
NAY RESTORE DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS

ROME, July 22-(ANP)-The
possibility that diplomatic relations
may be restored between the Vati-
can and Ethiopia was expressed
here in report that Emperor Halle
Selassie is planning to send a mis-
sion to visit the pope.
Vatican circles viewed the report
,avorably on the basis of the
church's traditional attitude to well
come ties with all countries. Res
toration of diplomatic ties with
Ethiopia is said to be especially in
teresting to the Holy See since the
Vatican wishes to appoint an apos-
tolic nuncio who could pave the way
for missionary work in North At
RIGA as we'll as in Ethiopia.

NEW YORK, July 22-(ANP)-
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, pastor
of the Abyssinian Baptist church

congressman Powell and his
congregation are to be congratu-

toward public health. l hope that
groups of people throughout the city

Medics Confirm
Lobor's CHARGE

NEW ORLEANS, February IL
(LPk)-An authoritative south
ern medical journal last week fl
nally admitted what organized
labor has been contending for
decades, that "The southern peo-
pie are sick because they are
poor-poorly fed, poorly clad,
poorly housed-unable to afford
medical care and their communi-
ties unable to afford adequate
medical facilities"
The Louisiana State Univer-
sity Medical Journal in an edi-
t rial, which in itself constituted
a powerful argument for the
pending Murray-Wa agner-Dingell
healh insurance bill, and the Csc
minimum wage bill, declared
that "In the south there is more
illness by far than in the north,
bred by poverty, cultivated by
the fact that the southern people
cannot afford to pay private
physicians. Under this double
burden our hospitals and clinics
are swamped-and our death
toll mounts"
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1946-02-15

Wages and prices must be
tied together" Stressing the
fact that some labor leaders
negotiate wages without consid-
ering price increases wages, the
UAW leaders said 1--WE are
beginning to talk economic
horse sense"
Contrasting World War ] with
the war recently ended, Mr..
Reuther said 1--WE won in 1918
and reaped the greatest crop
of dictators the world has
ever known. We now have the
practical job of taking the war
slogans about the Four Free
doms, Democracy, the Atlantic
Charter and making them mean
something"
Age of Production
Referring to the discovery of
atomic power, the GIN head said
"thiS new power will either be
used to build brave new world
with greater security than we
ever knew before, or we will
dig our economic graves with
another war. And there won't
be any historians around to tell
us who won the war"

Pitches
PesIer

STAMFORD, Conn, Feb.
II NPA)-The fight of New
England unionism against re-
turn of the open shop contin-
ued unabated last week as the
strike of 5000 members of the
International Association of Ma
chinists against theYale & Towne
Manufacturing Co entered its
fourth month.
The seriousness of the issues
behind the strike, which has had
the solid support of both the CIO
and AFL, was indicated by lam
officials who said that the wage
question could be settled swiftly
but the company's insistence on
returning to the open shop was
score on which the union
would not give ground.
All of organized labor in
Stamford won a victory last
week, however, when The Advo-
cate, Stamford daily, bounced
abor-hating Westbrook Pegler
out of its columns following a
barrage of protests against the
latter's Jan. IL column.
Non-union citiz en- Joined
thousands of AFL and CIO men,
bers in denouncing the column
which dealt with the Jan. 3 dem
onstration here of 10000 AFL
and CIO workers supporting the
IAM's walkout. Pegler asserted
that "the mass demonstration in
was a protest organ
lied against law and government
in favor of rioting, assault and
anarchy"
In dropping Pegler, Managing
Editor E. r. Mccullough asked
what guaranty is there that
Pegler is any more accurate in
assembling and writing his other
columns" Pegler's contract had
three more months to run.

Employment
Legislation


, WASHINGTON, Feb. II
GPA)-A "fulI employment"
bill, that looked more like a
player-piano roll than the Leg
islation asked of Congress by
President Truman and organized
labor, was rammed through the
House of Representatives by
320-84 vote last week.
Knitted up the back and down
the front, the bill, which does
not even mention full employ
ment, was supported by liberal
congressman who fought hard
for a stronger measure because
they despaired of getting any
thing better.
Representative Carter, Manas-
co Cd. Ala.) who frequently
boasted of the wrecking job he
did on the legislation in COM
mittee, told the House, "You
will find nowhere in this bill
reference to the terms assure,
full, guarantee, investment
or expenditure
The complete ruin to which
the legislation was reduced was
denounced by Representative
George Bender (R., Ohio), who
declared: "This bill, after long
months of wrangling, maneuver-
ing, amendments, and legislative
butchery, is little short of COM
pIete mess.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1946-02-15

scarcity must not be allowed to
gain the upper hand, said Mr.
Reuther, and added "Our prob
lem is not production. We have
the finest tools for creating
wealth in the world. Europe's
cities are destroyed, but we have
18 billion dollars in new plants
built during the war. We got
in trouble in 1929 not from
oVer-production but b e u e
people did not get enough wages
to buy all the things they made. -"
Discusses GM Strike
Labor's fight, said Reuther, sis
to get a balance between pro-
duction and distribution, that is
the reason for the fight for
wages which is being staged by
the GIN workers.
Turning to the financial con-
troll of the General Motors Cor
poration, the GIN labor leader
discussed the SO million dollars
which represents the ownership
of the Dupont family in the cor
poration and told of the fabul-
Gus profits which had been made
in the past % years in the way
of profits and multiplication of
stock.
"Our production m C h n e
prior to the depression was a
1929 Cadillac production ma
chine running on eight of it's IL

WoIkou+ Hits
Bross Industry

WATERBURY,, Conn. LPA)
The nations brass industry,
centered here, was paralyzed
last week as the result of a
strike by more than $4,000
members of the Internationl
Union of Mine, Mill g. Smelter
Workers-CIO. In Chicago the
unions executive board dis
cussed a n tionw wild e strike
against the American Smelling
& Refining Co.
The MMSW negotiations with
the "big three" of brass, Sco-
Vile, American Brass, and Chase
Brass and Copper, broke down
when the union demanded a
wage increase amounting to
whatever raise was obtained in
steel. The companies, however,
insisted of no more than 100
hike. Scoville was willing to
meet the pending steel increase
if the other two firms would,
but the latter refused.
The strike also affected work.
ers in Bridgeport, Buffalo, N. Y,
Kenosha, Wis, and other cities.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1946-02-15

Reuther also expressed the
opinion that General Motors
would make an offer salts
factory to the union as soon as
the steel strike was settled and
said he expected that the steel
dispute would soon end.
Spearhead Wage Move
Despite the failure to settle
the General Motors strike, un-
ion leaders admit that Reuther's
strategy has worked and point
to settlements in Ford and
Chrysler as well as wage raises
in the automotive parts industry
as evidence of the success of the
zone at a time" formula for
securing wage raises.
Both Ford and Chrysler
settled at 18 and 1914 per cent
with the union.
Final settlement of the steel
strike will mark the signal for
full scale production in the auto
industry and is being closely
watched by the automobile
manufacturers.

FEPC Bill
Is Beaten

WASHINGTON, Feb. II
LPA) - After more than
three weeks of angry oratory
"a filibuster by southern
Democrats bill to estab-
lish a permanent Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee was
killed through failure to secure
the needed two-thirds vote to
limit debate.
Both sides had agreed that if
limitation of debate failed to
pass, the bill would be dropped
so that the Senate could con-
slider other legislation. The
agreement and the vote was
victory for the southerners.
Use Every Trick
For more than three weeks,
deep south Democrats had used
every rule and trick of parlia-
mentary debate to tie up the
Senate. .As a result of their tao
tics, it was not even possible to
secure the vote on limitation of
debate without their agreement.
This the southerners were not
willing to give until they were
assured of victory.
Sen. Wayne Morse (R., Ore }
and a number of the bills orig
inal supporters, in what ap-
parently was an attempt to win
some additional support, had
proposed a number of COM
promise amendments. They
were not accepted by the
southernerS, who were insistent
on defeating any measure en-
powering the federal govern
ment to enforce free job oppor-
tunities.
These weakening amendments
were likewise unacceptable to
Sen. Dennis Chaves 3D., N. NJ
the bills floor leader, the Ma
tional Council for a Permanent
FEPC and a number of the or
ganizations which had been try
ing to defeat the filibuster.
Since January 18th, the only
item of business before the
Senate had been the conSidera-
ton of the Journal of proceed
ings of that day. Not even the
FEPC bill itself was debated
during this period, though the
filibustering Senators attacked
it under every pretense. The bill
now goes back to the Senate
calendar, subject to call from
the floor.

seizure of 81 tugboat companies.
More than 300 tugboat work
ers, members of the Interna-
