american labor, as represented by
the American Federation of Labor,
has never accepted and will never ac-
cept the gag rule" he declared. 'We
know that all history shows the utter
futility Of trying to correct wrong by
refusing to recognize its existence"
He praised Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes as following, with
respect to Russia, ga policy that
squares with our American desires
and IDEALS" and said that "we want
him to continue to defend democracy
no matter how much Molotov rumbles
and roars and no matter how much

and scream"
AFL leaders in Washington, Mr..
Meany told his hearers, were fully
cognizant" of the support they gave
the nations defense effort before the
war "at time when the Moscow-wor-
Shipping boys of the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations were doing
their damndest to stop production of
aircraft right here in California"
He defended the right to strike, but
not for political purposes" and said
that "out of 1,400,000 workers on
strike on the fifteenth of February,
only a percent were members of the
American Federation of Labor"
Gov. Earl Warren, who had the
support of State AFL leaders in his
successful campaign for denomination,

AMERICAN LABOR
SCENE IS CALM
AFTER STRIKES

Washington, D. C.-Comparative
calm has been restored to the Ameri-
can labor scene, Federal labor officials
reported, and coupled this announce
ment with forecast of steady, in
creased production. One, who prefer
red not to be mentioned by name, fore
cast period of good output in basic
industries.
Howard T. Colvin, assistant chief
of the U. S. Cancellation Service, ad-
mitted:
"The situation looks better now than
it has for some time, very much bet
, ter. There are not over a dozen trikes
in the entire country of sufficient ma
tional Importance to cause any excite
ment at ALL"
Since the recent threat of a ship
ping stoppage was ended, postwar
strikes and lockouts were at a post
war level of 311. AF'L seamen's unions
began negotiations with their en-
ployers for new contracts.
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach,
attending conferences of the Inter
national Labor Organization in Seat
tie, Wash, was reported so pleased
with the present labor situation that
he planned to remain there through
June in view of the lessened tension.

NAM. Is ACCUSED
OF SCHOOL DRIVE

Chicago-Charges that the National
Association of Manufacturers is MAX
ing "the most brazen attempt in it's
history to control the public schools
for its own selfish ends and as major
avenue of anti-labor propaganda"
were made by Irwin R. Kuenzli, ma
tional secretary of the American Fed
Grafton of Teachers (AFL).
Addressing the national convention
of the Women's Auxiliary of the
Street Car and Motor Bus Union
(AFL), Kuenzli declared:
''For several years the NAM. has
been developing a cooperative pro-
gram with non-union teachers organ
izations and-now that the fighting
phase of the war is over-is using it's
infiltration into American education
as a means of promoting its own high
ly organized propaganda program"

Meany Sharply Condemns
WFTU AS "WOrld-Wide
Fifth COlu mn" Group

San Francisco-Sharp condemna-
tion of the World Federation of Trade
Unions, as worldwide fifth-column
organization formed by the Russians
for the purpose of inculcating world
labor with the views of Soviet world
policy" was voiced by George Meany,
secretary y-treasurer of the AFL.
In an address before the California
State Federation of Labor, at it's first
postwar convention, Mr.. Meany de-
clared the WITH, which is demand
ing more than consultative relation
ship with the United Nations, and
which claims a membership of &c mil
lion, including 27 million Russians,
"has big assignment in Soviet plans
for the future"
"a program for world domination
calls for worldwide power and influ-
ence over those who produce" he went
on. "This so-called Federation Of World
Labor could well be very efficient
instrument for world policy through
the use of the fifth column methods
which Hitler used in some countries
with great effect.
Needless to say, no proof of men,
bership figures is required However,
an analysis Of the figures claimed, on
which voting strength is of course de-
termined, shows that Soviet Russia
and the countries it controls have about
70 per cent of the votes"
Mr.. Meany prefaced his attack on
the WFTU by terming ridiculous
nonsense" the idea "that we must not
speak out frankly against the evils

Washington, d. C.-The Case Bill
has been abandoned by it's sponsors
for this session of Congress, at least.
Conferences of anti-labor forces in
the House and Senate failed to de-
velop any new strategy for reviving
the vetoed bill by attaching it as a
rider to some other legislation.
A suggestion that Case Bill rider
be affixed to President Truman's
emergency strike control bill, now
being considered by the House Rules
Committee, was rejected as doomed
to defeat.
However, a new drive to enact at
least one section of the Case Bill was
inaugurated when the Senate Judic-
iary Committee reported out the
Hobbs Bill. This measure had been
pigeon-holed in the committee since
last December, when it was passed
by the House.
The Hobbs Bill seeks to make ac-
tivities of labor unions subject to
prosecution under the Federal Anti
racketeering Act when a union is not
lawfully carrying out it's legitimate
objectives.
Amendments adopted by the House
seek to assure that the Hobbs Bill
will not be used as a club against a
union which is engaging in peaceful
picketing and other legitimate and
lawful practices.
The Presidents strike control bill,
meanwhile, encountered delaying tao
tics in the House Rules Committee to
which it was referred after the Sen
ate passed it with major amendments.
With labor peace once more re-
stored to the nation and no major
strikes in progress, no urgency was
seen for rush action on this measure.
In fact, even some of the anti-labor
group in the House began raising OBJ
jections to the bill because they felt
it would place too great power in the
hands of the President.
However, the Rules Committee is
expected in the next week or ten days
to report out recommendation that
the bill be sent to conference in an
effort to iron out differences in the
legislation as adopted by the House
and Senate.
In an address over the CHS radio
network, Rep. Andrew j. Biemiller, Of
Wisconsin pointed out the gross neg
| lect Of Congress in failing to pass So
cial justice legislation which Presi-
dent Truman said would greatly aid
in achieving industrial peace"
He emphasized unemployment in
surance, higher minimum wage,
health insurance and extension of the
OPA in effective form.
Discussing the minimum wage bill,
now bottled up in the House Rules
Committee, Rep. Biemiller said:
"All it will do is to remove three or
four million American families from
the very brink Of starvation to q
meager subsistence level.

 Then Tom asked about a cer- tificate of eligibility anyway. He was told he'd have to sign an atfi- davit (and get it notorizsd) that he hadn't already been certified else where for education He could sec the sense in that.
 But it developed that only one year of education could be certified not the full amount Tom was en- titled to-because the certificate was being issued in another district which wasn't Toms home district.
 Tom learned also that the one year certificate would be good fol cnly 90 days. If he didn't start his training or education in 90 dlys he'd have to get new certificate.
 That wouldn't accomplish his ori- ginal purpose, which was only tc have his certificate of eligibility for education in order to avoic just such delays at some future time when he really wanted cer- titicate.
 In order to get a .ull certificate of eligibility which would be good indefinitely, he'd have to get in touch with his own regional office of the VA in Florida Accordingly he sent 8 completed application and a copy of his separation paper to Florida That was late in June He doesn't have his certificate yet. He hasn't even an acknowledgement of his application

You may not believe all this, but I'm going to tell it to you any way It's just to show how a government agency's regulations sometimes look to the victim
 An eX-service man, named Tom N- decided to get his certificate to show that he was entitled to educa- ticn under the CT Bill
 lie didn't have any school or course in mind, but he knew about the delays in getting educational certificates of eligibility. So he just figured that he'd get his certificate so he'd have it in case he decided to take some education or training later.
 Toms home was in Florida, but he was in Washington at the time. So he filled out an application form and delivered a photostatic copy of his separation paper to the re- gicnal cffice of the VA in Wash ineton
 Whcn he didn't hear anything about it for several days, he phon- ed only to learn that Washing ten had requested Florida to trans fer Toms case file Tom didn't want his file transferred, because his legal residence was in Florida and that's where his file should stay
 Consequently, he had to go down to the Washington office and sign a change of address and a trans fer request That was so when his file got to Washington, it would be sent back to Florida where it belonged
 Still, he got no certificate of eli eibiity for education under the GI Pill Over two months later, tired Of waiting, he phoned the Wash

The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-03-20

(Continued from Page D increases in brass prices by the OPA.
 The two other company stipu- lations were that a new one-year contract be signed, and that the 1874 cents not be added to the base rates of pay.
 It can be assumed that the union would be opposed to agreeing to the qualifications attached to the com- pany's wage offer.
 The company told union repre- sentattves yesterday, it was learned, that once the increase goes into effect 1t will return to a regular 40-hour a week production schedule at Waterbury, Torrington and An- sonia.
 Another Hitch
 Another hitch, 1t appeared, was a company declaration that upon the end of the strike employees world continue to receive current pay until the l8 Ia cents was ap- proved by MT. Bowles and the man. agement secured the additional price relief needed to absorb the 1S 1-2 cents.
 Under the management's original proposal, the increase would not be added to the base rate, but would instead, be added to actual pay of piece workers and incentive work CTS. In the deadlocked Chase nee gotiations, the union seeks to have the 18 Ia cents added to the bot tom" of the base rate, rather than the "top," which means several cents an hour additional for those working under an incentive plan.
 The joint statement by MT. Mo- Grath and MT. Ricciuti on the Chase strike situation at Cleveland follows:
 We have been in touch with Matthew Demore, district head of the International Association of Machinists in Cleveland. We have been informed by MT. Demore that negotiations with the Chase Com pany in Cleveland were broken of this afternoon, and that a business meeting attended by 1000 members later in the afternoon unanimously rejected the .company'S proposals for settlement of the strike there.
 Union Stands Firm
 We understand the Cleveland union Is standing firm, in the face of the refusal of the Chase Com pany to include retroactivity as one of the terms of the settlement.
 In addition, MT. Demore told US no meetings are scheduled with the Chase Co. which is being represent ed by W. c. HuSted, vice-president in charge of Cleveland operations. We hope there is no attempt by company spokesmen here to say that meetings in Cleveland are continuing, in an effort to confuse our members here. This deplorable strategy was used last week. In order to prevent a recurrence, we are issuing this statement to inform our members and the public of the status of, negotiations in Cleveland.
