PRESIDENT Offers I'd
Cooperate WITH
REPUBLICANS

Washington. - Confronted with a
dilemma that would have troubled
more experienced statesmen, Pres.
Truman Nov. II acknowledged the
republican sweep in the national cleo
ton and called for both political
parties to exercise wisdom and re-
s~traint."
Truman said he would be guided by
a simple formula, to do in all cases,
without regard to narrow political
considerations which cen to me to
be best for the welfare OF all our peo-
pie"
This offer to cooperate with the
COP brought some pledges Of support,
but Sen. William F. Knowland (R.

boosted that the new majority would
not accept what the Californian called
a "PAC-drafted" law-making program
and what the Chicago Tribune's
spokesman labeled Completely social.

Higher Wages Must
Be Had Concludes
CIO-UERMW
FEDERATED PRESS

New York. - Substantial wage in
creases are needed to meet the infla-
tionary prices brought on by "unre-
stricted profiteering," 200 leaders of
the United Electrical Radio & Mach
inc Workers (CIO) declared at the
conclusion Of a two-day wage confer
ence here Nov. .13.
Pointing out that "skyrocketing
prices are increasingly confronting
millions of Americans with a daily
crisis in buying the necessities Of life
the conference went on record that
wages and salaries must be substan-
TALLY increased in the interests of
American wage earners and the en-.
tire nation"
Delegates blamed the recent republi-
can election victory in part on the ad'
ministration's failure to prevent in
%flation. They also called attention to
IAN attempt by big industry to place
the responsibility for increased prices
on wage increases rather than on the
huge, mountaineering profits which
the big corporations are harvesting"
Spread Wage-Price Lie
american big business" the state
ment unanimously approved by the
delegates said. 'is waging a gigantic
propaganda campaign to spread the
lie that price increases are caused by
wage increases. However, mOnOpolies
set prices at whatever levels will
make most profits. Prices and living
costs are high today-not because OIL
wage and salary increases which con
stitute only a small percentage of pro
duction costs-but because the cor
porations have forced prices to soal
in order to obtain soaring profits
The conference was attended by del
egates representing about 100000
workers in 145 plants of large corpora
tons such as General Electric Co..
Westinghouse Electric Corp, Sylvania
Electric Co. General Motors electrical
division, RCA and General Gable
Corp.
UE's contracts with the major com
panies expire in early April. Formula

pected to come after a joint policy IL

Steel And Auto Workers Sue
Suits involving several hundred mil
lion dollars are being prepared and
will be filed soon by United Steolwork
ers against the country's leading steel
makers.
These suits will allege violations OF
the wace-hour law and will be based
on the recent Mt. Clemens Pottery
case we have mentioned in many OF
our recent columns. The L. s
Supreme Court in that case allowed
pay for walking time II viii he
claimed that steelworkers spend con
siderable time in walking to theil
place OF work after they arrive at the
employers premises and that they arc
entitled to overtime pay for the walk
ing time.
Since the law provides double dam
ages in eases OF violation. these EN-
ployes will seek triple pay for tho
walking time.
The United Auto Workers tCIO) are
urging all local officers to demand
payment for time spent in walking t
work on the employers property
changing work clothes. and checkins
tools. They are also being told not Il
wait for enforcement activities by the
.wage-hour division. but to collect evi
dence and dispositions from employees
to be used later.
Employers are aware of what is il
the wind. They expect the point Il
come up in negotiations when presenr
union contracts expire. You can expec'
some employers to attempt to trade
off settlement of claims for conces
sions on other matters.

Elections, Laws And Jobs

Results Of the recen congressional
elections are sure to be felt by or
gained labor almost as soon as the
new congress convenes in January.
Many commentators in business
publications of one kind or another
are saying they don't expect any radi-
cal changes either in the Nl.RB or in
the Wagner act under which il oper-
ales. They reason that the republicans
won't want to a%ntagonize the labor
vote prior to. the i9iS elections. Per.
haps.
Our prediction is that the changes
will be radical in effect although an
attempt will be made To sell union
men the idea that they are not. 1t may
seem like a technically TO permit an
employer TO petition for an election
when one union is organizing his EN-.
ployes. But when an employer is given
that right he will use it to defeat the
union in the first days of its organic
ing drive. thus in effect making the
organization of u%norganized workers
immensely more difficult.
Qualification of the right of free
speech Of employers will also be ask.
ed. Many unbiased observers think the
NLRB has already gone too far in up
holding employer a%nti-union state
ments.
Finally look for a cut in NLRB ap
preparations. If this occurs and the cut
is sufficiently severe, present limited
operations of the NLRB will be re
duced to such a point that although
the Wagner act may yemain on the
books. rights OF employees under ii vii
be meaningless.
Captive Audience Held Legal
In the Montgomery Ward Ease the
st. Louis. Mo. circuit court declared
that an employer can do these foul
things:
l. He may force his employees to at
tend speeches by company officials in
opposition to the union.
?. He may time these speeches in
any way he pleases. for example, i'm.
mediately before an election.
3. He may declare his opposition to

Perhaps there are some who don
git the idea of the Montana Anti-Dis

get the idea, but so long as they arc
not directly and personally concerned
they prefer the easier way of aloofness
and non-actiy,ty. At any rate here is
the blueprint:
During a strike of Miners to secure
a small increase in wages, the idea
that ~unorganized personnel should
show loyalty to the more fortunate
personnel who inhabit the Sixth Floor
Of the Hennessy building rather thar

completely crazy. 1t avOrs too much

1t tthe A. c. NJ. blacklist has no place

concept of loyalty is contrary to hu
