AFL TOLD u. s. HELPING
GERMAN TRADE UNIONS

Washington F'P) - German trade
union leaders have expressed "sin-
cere gratitude for the encouragement
and cooperation which they are re-
ceiving in pursuing their daily activi-
ties Of rebuilding German labor or
ganizations," Lieut.. Gen. Lucius d.
Clay, deputy military governor of the
U. S. occupied zone in Germany wrote
AFL President William Green re-
Gently.
Green said that through the inter-
cession of the AFL, the reconstructed
German trade union movement is now
receiving the official encouragement
and active assistance Of American oc-
cupation authorities.
The AFL executive council recently
appealed to President Harry S. Tru-
man on behalf Of the German unions
and Green released correspondence
telling Of the steps taken by the
American occupation authorities.
Green wrote the L. S. State De-
partment that "lack of equipment is
seriously handicapping the revival of
the German trade union movement"
He asked that the former property of
the unions, confscated by the Nazis,
be returned to them and that army
surplus supplies be made available to
union organizations.
Under Secretary of State Dean
Acheson replied that the department
had subscribed to and supported a
policy of encouraging democratic
trade unions in Germany and of facili-
tating their operations by furnishing
them from available supplies with
whatever resources they deemed es-
sential for their activities"
Acheson added that the federal gov
eminent is recommending that some
of the surplus property "still held by
the U. S. for disposal in Germany" be
distributed to the German unions.
Gen. Clay reported that his staff
members in contact with the situa-
tion found that "the leaders have ex-
pressed sincere gratitude and that
they feel "they have had all the lib
erty of expression and action re-

Cheer up! While tbe cost of living

It's SO cheap to die, man can't

Economists Ask
In Conference

Washington (FP)-As the Depart
ment of Commerce released an of
fetal estimate that the cost of living
rose % per cent in the first 16 days
after the removal of price controls,
President Harry S. Truman received
his second request to call national
labor management conference.
A group Of engineers, economists
and public spirited citizens signed the
appeal to Truman to call the confer
ence Immediately to find means of in
terrupting the "sugging it out
method of making adjustments"
The appeal said that the U. S.
elected to submit to certain compul-
sions when it chose to develop large
scale business with mass production.
These compulsions were listed as:
Wages must be increased pro-
gressively with increase in produc-
ton.
2-The consumer must share in
prosperity with lower prices.
3-There must be clear cut rules
of the game scrupulously obeyed.
4-There must be well tried team
play between labor, management and
other economic groups.
Signers of the appeal included Sen
ator Wayne Morse (R., Ore.); Prof.
Alfin Hansen of Harvard; Prof. Wal
ter Rautenstrauch of Columbia; Di-
rector Leo S. Rowe of the Pan
American Union; Author Stuart Chase
and President Frank p Graham of
the University of North Carolina.

Large Attendance
At State Meeting

Spokane, Wash. (FP)-Seven hun
dred and thirty delegates attended
the 44th annual convention of the
Washington State Federation of Labor
convention here, largest In years.
Marked by an enthusiastically
democratic atmosphere, the conven-
ton instructed federation officials to
buy a radio station to combat anti
labor propaganda over employer
controlled networks. Senate Bill 1861,
which would reimburse construction
workers on Guam and Wake Island
for the man hours lost in japanese
prison camps, received Endorsement,
as did collective bargaining for pub
lie employees and extension OF social
security to cover illness and accidents
off the job.
The fve-day week for state en-
ployees was indorsed as well as a
resolution demanding an FBI inves-
tigation of the Ku Klux Klan and the
jailing and unmasking of its leaders.
Contrary to commercial press re-
ports, the conventions main emphasis
was on program and not on ways to
best the CIO.
Although resolutions opposing the
Franco regime in Spain and resolu-
tions indorsing FEPC, the little Wag-
ner act and a reduction in voting age
to 18 were defeated, the votes were
very close. Carl Brooks, Negro ship
scaler who led the fight for FEPC, re-
ceived an ovation.
At previous meeting of the build
ing trades section it was reported
that the carpenters had negotiated a
wage increase with practically all
building contractors in the state, up
ping their scale in heavy industry to
$1.61 an hour. This marks a 10c
hourly increase over the wages in ad-
joining states.

Truman Asks
Action On
aHousing Bill

Washington (FP)-Chairman Brent
Spence 3D., Ky.) of the House Bank
ing Committee promised night COM
mittee hearings July 26 if necessary
in move to finish work on the Wag-
ner-Ellender-Taft housing bill which
has been bottled up with the House
group for weeks since its Senate pas
sage.
Spence's action followed reading Of
letter from President Truman ask
ing action on the bill, which he termed
particularly necessary at this time
to make effective the veterans emer-
gency housing program" Earlier
Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt had
asked for passage on the same
ground, and had scored opposition
tactics in the committee postponing
final decision.
Spence said, "We have met with so
many dilatory motions we have been
unable to make much progress on the
BILL" and appealed to Republicans to
cooperate by refraining from insist
ing on adjourning committee sessions
when the House was meeting.
Representatives Jessie Sumner (R.,
Ill.) and Frederick Smith (R., o.,
chief committee foes of the slum
clearance measure, protested the
Spence suggestions that they had
used "dilatory tactics"
4, To add final bit of spice to the
seituation, Representative Ned Healy
I'D, CALI announced he had filed a
petition to discharge the committee
from consideration of the bill, but
added that his move was not to be in
tended as criticism of the committee
chairman and the committee members
who were working for the bills pas
sage.

Nails Scab Recruiting

San Francisco (FP)-Secretary c.

tion of Labor accused redwood lum-
Der barons in Northern California of
recruiting Strikebreakers in San
Francisco.
"The strike is still on" Haggerty
said, "yet the employers are failing to
notify prospective employees that the
mills are struck"
The strike, called by the Lumber &
Sawmill Workers (AFL) principally
for a union shop, started in January.
Expressing solidarity with the red
wood strikers, AFL teamsters and
seamen are refusing to haul from the
mills or transport lumber on ships.

SPEAK FOR
YOUR

There is no getting away from the
fact that Organized Labor is being
criticized in many quarters these
days, not only in the places from
which one would expect to find such
criticism, but among many of those
who have been Labors friends. Be-
cause they were not shown how to
differentiate, they have been swayed
by the Misrepresentation of Labor's
enemies.
In the last analysis you members
of Organized Labor have only your
selves to blame. You are public opin-
ion and what you think can determine
what the country as a whole thinks.
Are you, because of negligence or in
difference, going to allow all for
which you struggled and fought to be
torn down by, a small minority whose
principal advantage is that it is ar
ticulate? You are the largest single
body in this country, but unless you
fight adverse propaganda, you will
lose groups which normally would be
on your side.
There are two kinds of propaganda
you should use-the counter-active
and the constructive. First-the
counteractive. Every single article OF
mention of Organized Labor appear
ing in any paper or in any speech in
your community should be answered.
Don't let any remark go unchallenged.
You must take issue with every false
accusation. But remember, in writing
to a paper or group, don't accuse or
abuse them. Take the stand that you
know that if they had been in full
possession of the facts they would
not have printed or made the state
ment objected to. Don't make extrava-
CANT statements. Don't make hot,
blanket denials and wild charges.
Remember if you keep your
temper, you have the advantage. You
can't win anything in a democracy
without the support of public opinion,
but since you are public opinion, you
are in a position to counteract all the
steps being taken against you.
Second, constructive propaganda.
The truth must be administered, it
must be positive, and it must be con-
tinuous. But first of all, be sure you
have an absolutely clean house. Look
at your own group carefully and
critically before someone else does.
Get your union in perfect shape, so
that you know that not only is every
one working for it, but working in
the right place. Then start out to sell
it to the community. Find out what
specific cases of prejudice there are
against you. If you're right, fight
this adverse propaganda. If you're
wrong, make the necessary changes
and explain publicly that you have
done so.
Join in every civic affair you can.
Be ready to serve on committees; at
tend all meetings; have something to
say on all important subjects, even if
it's only brief word from one of you
to agree with a previous speaker, so
that all will know where you stand
Established in everyone's mind that
organized LABOR as represented Dy
your outfit is group of which the
community should be proud, that it
can always be depended upon in any
emergency, and that it's members are
civic minded and ready to do more
than their share in any community
enterprise.
Speak for yourselves briefly and to
the point. Yours is the story to tell
and now is the time to tell it!

cases in families under $1,000 in
yearly income, but only II per cent in
the $4,000 and-up bracket.
The report said that at present only
2.5 per cent of the American people
are covered by comprehensive medical
care plans including both doctors
care in home, hospital and office and
hospital service. Another 10 per cent
have part of their doctors fees COW
cred usually in hospitalized illness
only, whereas another 1875 per cent
have their hospital fees covered.
Thus, only 25 per cent of the nation is
given even partial prepaid care.
The largest of all voluntary health
insurance systems, the Blue Cross
with 1876 million members, averages
$24 yearly per family in cost for hos
pital bill protection only-but those
expenses are but one-seventh of all
medical care costs, the report says,
while physicians and surgeons serv-
,nces account for about three times as
: much.
AS for commercial health and ac-
cident insurance policies, the report
said about million persons were
covered by group agreements in 1914
and these were principally hospital
and surgical. Commercial outfits paid
out only 40 per cent of their receipts
in 1943 to individual sickness and ac-
cident policy holders. because of what
the report terms "high expense load
ings" - administrative and promo
tional costs.
The people who most need the pro-
lection of whatever prepaid systems
are now available are not getting it,
the report shows. Among rural fam
lilies, the percentage at all income
levels belonging to some form of non
profit medical care group is well be-
low per cent. Urban dwellers are
less than 10 per cent enrolled in the
income bracket below $1,000; Is per
cent at $1,500-S2, GOO, but 80 per cent
at $3,O00-$5,00 Above that, they
can probably pay for their own.
The report says America does not
frank at the head of the list in any of
the major health indexes =. +. but even
if we did, it would not excuse our
health failings. Even before modern
medicine had reached it's present peak
of complexity and specialization the
fee-for-service did not meet the ma
tion's health needs" Now, it says,
lit inhibits the full use of modern
IS eeventive medicine since it forces
-4fost people to wait until they are
seriously ill before going to a doc
tor"
The cost of compulsory prepaid
medical care system, the report says,
twill not be greater than that of our
present inefficient and wasteful fee
for-service system. According to
leading experts the charge to the av-
erage family under a national health
insurance program will actually be
less than it pays now, partly because
the employer and the government will
both contribute to the fund. 1t isl
noteworthy that the labor organiza-
tions, all of whose members are wage
earners, are among the staunchest
eSspporters of national health insur-
aee."
