Secretary Schwellenbach. The
CIO declared that the BIS
study should be withdrawn.
A 25-page analysis of the
BIS data by the CIO showed
broad accumulation of evidence
indicating that productivity as a
whole increased rapidly during
the war, that peacetime produc-
ton in 1e46 will be at a level of
productivity about one quarter
above the level in the past pre-
war year, and that productivity
will continue to increase at an
accelerated rate"
BIS has completely failed to
measure the immense wartime
advances and to appraise their
significance for the immediate
postwar period, the CIO critics
declared. ''The BIS productivity

featuring industries is not only
not representative of civilian in

Advises Mayor

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. (LPA)
Labor has been the bulwark

teachers must better the condi-
tions under which they work in
many parts of the country, if
teaching is to demand the re-
spect the profession deserves
and if education is to be effec-
tive" asserted Mayor Hubert H.
Humphrey of this city. The
mayor addressed his remarks to
American Federation of Teach
ers locals SO and 238. Humphrey
himself belongs to Minnesota
Federation of College Teachers,
AFT Local 444.
1T is amazing to me in this
day and age" Humphrey said,
TO hear any teachers say that
they must not affiliate with la
Dor or any special group be
cause the schools belong to all
the people" )"
"Of course" he went on, "the
public schools belong to all the
people - the people pay for
them. So do music and acting
and news belong to all of US
who listen and are interested.
yet the actors, musicians and
newspaper writer's are thorough
ly organized into unions. Labor
is no small segment of society:
it is a great cross-section of

Labor Group
LoudS Trumun

NEW YORK (LPA) - The
Jewish Labor Committee last
week commended President
Truman for "his humanitarian
directive designed to facilitate
the admission into the U. S. of
displaced persons and refugees
from Europe" At the same time
the Committee congratulated the
President, for his action releas-
ing refugees sheltered at Fort
Ontario, near Oswego, N. Y.
Representing more than 500,-
600 Jewish workers in both the
AFL and CIO, the committee
told Truman: "Your deed, which
we consider the first step in pro-
viding home for the victims of
facscism, and especially for the
Jews who have been TIE worst
sufferers in this war, demon
strateS once again that America
has remained a firm protagonist
OF the great ideal of providing
haven for the prosecuted and op-
pressed everywhere. BY taking
this step which we deeply ap-
preciate, the American people
have, through you, set an ex-
ample for the other democratic
nations and will, no doubt, en-
courage them to undertake SIM
liar genuine action to relieve the
distress of the sufferers of the

Employment Fight
Goes TO President

WASHINGTON, Jan. FL -
(LPA) - Twenty-Five organiza-
tions, including labor, veterans,
consumer and industry groups,
last week carried their fight for
the original Senate version of
the full employment bill to the
White House.
In a letter to President Tru-
man the organizations pointed
out that There are those who
seem to feel that the enactment
of some sort of legislation-no
matter how ineffective it may be
or how far it departs from the
original principles of the full
employment bills preferable
to no legislation. We are unal-
terably opposed to this view
point.
1t is our conviction that it
would be far better to make a
strong fight for an effective
measure than to accept an made
quate bill would only serve to
confuse the American people,
and that if an inadequate bill is
sent to the White House it
should be vetoed"
Letters to COnferees
With Senate and House con-
fereeS scheduled to meet this
week in attempt to reconcile
the strong, labor-supported SEN
ate version and the completely
emasculated product turned out
by the House, the 22 crganiza-
tionS also addressed an open
letter to the confereeS.
Recalling that the Senate bill
passed by lilo and that all but
one of the Senate conferees had
voted for it, the organizations
characterized the House bill as
wholly inadequate" ard declar-
ed that even though the Senate
measure was Weakned before
final passage 'it still represents
an adequate foundation for an
all-out effort to maintain full
employment in a free America.

dustries but is, in fact, grossly
misleading "the union analysis
found. Those opposed to wage
increases have seized upon the
BIS data to prove that produc-
tivity in civilian industries has
not increased and that therefore
no upward wage adjustments
are in order. It is obviously In
cumbent upon the BIS to with
draw this combined index. 1t can
only be subjected to continued
partisan misuse and distortion" )"
Members of the CIO Wage
Research Committee who made
the analysis are: Harold J. Rut-
tenberg, director of research,

Spero, director of research,

Unions Plead For
Housing
Assistance

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 -
(LPA)-The housing shortage
was greater than ever before in
the nations history last week.
Efforts to provide both make
shift housing, and to initiate a
long-range housing ogra m
were still primarily in the fill
ing papers and press-release
stage, with few actual homes
being opened to returning vet
Grams and others who are living
doubled up or in temporary
quarters.
A delegation including CIO
and AFL representatives and
speaking for 33 national organi-
cations, again put before Presi-
dent Truman their plea that he
back to the hilt Housing EX-
peditor Wyatt and urge Congress
to pass the Wagner-Ellender-
Taft long-range housing bill.
They asked Truman to clarity
his position promptly on the
necessity of establishing a per-
manent National Housing Agen-
cy.
While applications for HH
priority ratings-giving builders
prioritieS on scare materials for
homes selling under $4,000
and renting under $80-are now
being received by the Federal
Housing Administration regional
offices, no figures are available
yet on the applications filed.
Labor and consumer groups
have expressed the fear that
such applications, for homes on
which veterans will have first
priority will all be built to sell
at the top limit, $4,000 rather
than at the $4,000 and $4,000
prices which are most ex-GIs
can afford.

demanded placards carried by

thracite mines in Panther VAL
ley near Lansford, Pa, last
week in a fight for jobs. More
than 5000 were quickly made
idle when members of the
United Mine Workers refused
ITO violate the picket lines.
Protesting the action of op-
orators who they claimed had
brought in workers from other
areas, the ex-servicemen sum-
moned mass meeting of all

and called for a solid front"
throughout the valley in their
campaign to obtain work.

Attempt TO Gag
FEPC Discussion

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 -
(LPA)-A shameless filibuster
to prevent a Senate vote on the
bill for a Permanent Fair> En-
ployment Practice Committee
began last week. Southern Dem
ocrats, indignant at an adroit
use of parliamentary procedure
by Sen. Dennis Chavez 3D., N.
NJ which brought the FEPC
bill to the floor, were preparing
to stall as long as possible before
reaching a showdown on the
measure.
The Southerners were espe-
cially miffed by the decisive
vote by which Chavez motion
carried-49 to II. A two-thirds
vote is needed for "cloture," to
close debate on the bill and
bring it to a vote. They met i'm
mediately and chose Senators
John H. Overton Cd. La.) and
Richard B. Russell ID. Ga.) to
head up the fight to stifle the
FEPC bill.
Meanwhile, supporters of the
bill, which would outlaw job
discrimination because of race
or religion, were prepared to
stick it out until the Southerners
tired, or were forced into line
by the Administration whips.
The FEPC bill has been on the
Senate calendar since last May,
when it wa sreported favorably
by the Senate Labor Committee
An emergency conference of
leaders of national organizations
favoring permanent FEPC legis-
Iation is meeting in Washington
Jan. %, to mobilize nationwide
to the filibuster, and
10 bring public pressure to bear
for prompt enactment of the
legislation.
