those who represent you in Con-
gress, you will be appealing in be-
half of yourself as well as your
fellow workers in all sections of
the country.
The AFL president urged local
groups to contact their representa-
tives at once, to protect against
the passage of anti-labor laws, and
to request them to stand by labor
with their votes. He also said they
should keep informed on the ac-
tions of their congressman.
"The voice of labor should be
heard by the members of Con-
gress," Green said. "They should
know of your feelings of deep con
cern and practicularly that you are
alert-that you will watch how
they vote and if they vote for
anti-labor legislation they cannot
expect the support of labor in the
event they are candidates for re-
election to Congress-"
The AFL head warned that a
large number Of congressman who
voted for the restrictive Case bill
in the last session were reelected
by greater majorities, and they
would see their reelection as endor-
sement. of their Case bill votes.
Specific targets of anti-labor
and reactionary members of Con-
gress," Green said, were: to
change the Wagner act, to modify
the Norris-LaGuardia anti-injunc-
tion act, to ban union shop agree
ments, to restrict the exercise of
the right to strike, to subject
workers to civil damage suits in
illegal strikes, and to en-
act such laws as the notorious Case
bill.

so Pickefs Hurt
In ScuffIe At
Milwaukee Plant

Milwaukee (FP)-A violent 20
minute battle broke loose at the
Allis-Chalmers plant here late Dec.
9 when hundreds Of police drove
a flying wedge into tightly massed
picketlines to permit scabs bottled
up in the plant for more than an
hour to leave.
More than so pickets were in
jured and about a dozen police re-
quired first aid treatment. Seven
ty-one demonstrators were nabbed
by sheriff's deputies during wild
raid on the picketlines and taken
to Jail.
Fists and blackjacks flew as
pickets courageously battled both
police and scabs. Four scab-driven
cars were overturned when their
drivers attempted to NOW down
pickets. Two caught on fire after
their occupants fled.
The battle, worst since the strike
began more than seven months
ago, was expected to move Gov.
Walter Goodland to take action.
But whether he would, take up the
unions appeal for arbitration or
would succumb to company pres
sure for more violence by sending
in state troopers was anyone's
guess.
Labor Department efforts to
bring the two parties together for
new talks have been stymied by
the company's refusal to transfer
negotiations to Washington. Rati-
fication of an agreement Dec. s
by workers at the Boston plant
leaves West Allis the last of the
original seven striking locals to
remain out. The strike was called
for higher pay and union seniority.

Senote Group To
Probe Monopoly

Washington (FP) - An oppor-
tunity for small competitive news
paper publishers to tell their side
of the monopoly newsprint squeeze
will be provided starting Jan. 7
at hearings Of the Senate small
business committee, C h a rm n
James Murray announced Dec. II.
Saying that he and Senator Ken
meth Wherry, prospective COP
chairman Of the committee in the
new session Of Congress, agreed on
the Importance Of the investigation
Murray said:
"The purpose of the hearings is
to determine what can be done to
preserve the vitality of the smaller
newspapers of the nation. We are
inviting the assistance of all who
want to keep the American press
vitally competitive.
"Small dailies and weeklies face
more serious threats to their exist
ance today than ever before &.
Their costs are steadily rising but
they cannot expand their advert
ising or circulation because they
don't have the newsprint paper for
it,"
Murray said the committee "in-
tends to give fullest possible CON
sideration in the hearings to each
phase of the problem, particularly
newsprint, monopoly and survival.
We will consider specific proposals
for legislative remedies where APP
propriate."
Already slated to testify at the
hearings are Morris l.. Ernst, law
per prominent in the newspaper
field; Secretary Of Agriculture
Clinton Anderson; Commerce Sec
retary Averell Hartman; Interior
Secretary j. A. Krug; former Fed
,eral Communications Commission
Chairman James l.. Fly; Thurman
Arnold, former Justice Department
antitrust chief; and President
Woodruff Randolph of the Inter
national Typographical Union.
"Other witnesses will be added
as plans for the hearings go for
ward" Murray said.

International House is an i'm
pressive structure. Inside it has an
air Of dignity combined with an
easy going home place where men
can be comfortable.
1t is easy to understand why
the United States government, in
war time, helped in every possible
way to get International House
established.
Every port of entry ought to
have an International House.
1t would pay off in a hundred
ways. Most important of all, it
would pay off to ALL OF US in
the way of better relations with
the the nations of the world, as
wen as the nations to the South.
Every International House must,
naturally, become center for en-
enlargement of solution to the
awful tangle of restrictions on
travel, which, however delighting
to a bureaucrat, make an inter
national traveller gnash his teeth.

Trumun Sees No
Possibility Of
7947 Recession

Washington (FP) - Repeated
warnings of the danger of an eco
nomic recession in 1947 unless
mass purchasing power is sustain
ed have apparently not made a
serious impression on President
Truman, a White House news con-
ference revealed.
Truman said that he does not
admit the possibility of a reces-
sion in 1947. The outlook, he said,
is good and will continue to be
good if people will continue to go
to work and stay on the job.
Asked whether he agreed with
Harold Stassen, Republican presi-
Dental hopeful, that setting the
national labor policy" is a more
important problem than the hous-
ing shortage President Truman
said he had no immediate comment.
He would outline his views in clear
and understandable language in
his message to Congress in Jan
uary, he said.
A half dozen reportrs' questions
were parried in like fashion. The
impression was left that Truman's
three messages to the COP Con-
gress-on the state of the union,
the economic outlook, and the fed
eral budget-would be full Of the
presidential opinions which have
not been forthcoming at recent
press conferences.

Radio Artists
Show Radio As
II Should Be

New York (FP)-A glimpse of
what radio programs might be like
if they paid any attention to the
realities of life was given here
Dec. 13 by the People Radio Foun-
dation, an organization of radio
artists with labor and progressive
backing.
Deliberately selecting Friday the
18th as symbol of their campaign
against radio taboos, the group
gave stage presentations of three
radio scripts Stunned by the net
works an controversial"
The scripts dealt with the lyn-
chings in Columbia, Tenn; a
prize-winning lyric poem, The Bal
lad For Herman Bottcher, anti
fascist fighter who was killed in
the South Pacific; and a play,
Open Secret, dealing with atomic
war. Open secret has been trans
lated into French and German and
was recently produced in the Eur
ich State Theater of Switzerland,
but has not received air time here.
The program was the opening
gun in a campaign in which the
foundation plans to awaken radio
listeners to the necessity for an
FM radio station in New York over
which labor will have a full voice.

The statement, which carried the

THE CHERRY TREE

In New Orleans there is tremen-
dous interest in International
House.
There are many persons to
whom International House is a
name and not much more.
But it exists-really it does. |
have Just been a visitor to Inter-
national House.
Created during the war, against
all manner of war-born obstacles,
international House was set up as
means of helping to promote
good neighborliness, which it has
been doing with gusto ever since.
International House is a meet
ing place for Latin Americans and
North Americans. 1t is a joint club
house. But more than that, it pro-
vides office facilities for the visit
ing business men and almost any
help he may desire.
A lot of commodities flow
through the port of New Orleans.
More coffee comes through New
Orleans than through any other
U. S. port. Through it comes
sugar, too; and many, many other
things.
1t is highly important channel
for International trade.
Maybe all this doesn't seem inn
portant to labor. But it is.
The flow of commodities always
is important to labor-and SO is
the flow of people.
And the more any segment of
any foreign population finds itself
happy in our midst, the better it is
for all of us.
Legally, Latin Americans are
foreigners. They have their own
national loyalties and prides, quite
properly. But what is important
to US is that they come to feel that
the people of the United States are
friendly, that we respect their ma
tions and their loyalties and their
prides, just as much as we would
like them to respect ours.
With Argentina building an OBJ
viously anti-U. S. block in South
America, the more we can cultivate
friendship and understanding
the other nations, the bet
.er for ALL concerned.
International House is playing |
IN important part in doing the
Job.
international House has a large |
md beautiful dining room, where
good meals are served. Bowling
perhaps to the Latin disinclination
o mix business with fair sex So
women are permitted in
he dining room only two days a
week.

Sen. Bull's
Labor Bose
Bats Him

st. Paul, MINI. (FP)-Senator
Joseph II. Ball, who is carrying
the anti-labor ball for the COP,
stands condemned by the AFL in
his own home state.
Challenging Balls assertion that
his stand against the closed shop
has received labor support, the
Minnesota Federation of Labor,
which backed Ball at the outset
of his political career, has dis
avowed any further support for
him and is advising AFL state
federations throughout the coun-
try Of it's action.
The federation formalized its op-
position to Ball in a resolution
charging that his appearances on
numerous radio broadcasts to de-
fame organized labor and misrep-
resent its detectives and philoso-
ply" and his announced intention
to sponsor anti-labor bills in the
Senate have "placed him definitely
in the lineup of those opposed to
labor"
"The Minnesota State Fedora
tion of Labor" the resolution de-
clared, 'can no longer recognize
him as true representative Of the
people of Minnesota because of his
wilful acts in promoting confu-
sion, disturst and suspicion of all
labor organizations"
The resolution condemned Balls
claim of labor support for his at
tack on the closed shop as "an in
suit to the intelligence of every
bonafide member of the AFL."

Suvs Election
Not Mandate For
|Lobor-Boifing

Cleveland (FP)-The November
elections did not give the Republi-
can party "a mandate to carry out
antilabor legislation" President A.
F. Whitney of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen declared in an
editorial in the December Railroad
Trainmen.
Taking issue with Senator
Joseph Ball, who has interpreted
the election results as popular
sanction of repressive legislation,
Whitney said: Republicans should
learn a lesson from the Democrats
defeat. Labor-baiting is not the
road to political success"
The election twas not a man
date at ALL" Whitney asserted, "for
no one knew during the campaign
what the Republican policies were
The Republican campaign was
based entirely on an anti Truman
strategy. 1t successfully exploited
the mistakes and shortcomings of
the administration and its betrayal
of the Roosevelt program"
Cautioning the Democratic party
that it's only hope lies in becoming
"the party of the people," Whit
ney said: "The progressive forces
of America owe allegiance to no
political party and they will sup
port progressive candidates wher-
ever they exist.
Whitney cited a recent state
ment by Senator Wayne Morse of
Oregon as proof that intelligent
and progressive Republicans do
not share Balls views. In a letter
to Morse, Whitney expressed the
hope that the Republican party
will not blindly follow the leader
ship of men "whose eyes are turn
ed backwards"
