At the beginning of 1915, forty
six of these directly-interlocked
industrial giants held more than
ST., 250,000,000 in assets.
*r*
THEY range from the two-bil-
lion dollar giants such as US.
Steel and General Motors to the
smaller fry in the five million
dollar range.
The Big Four banks them
selves hold assets Of some six
billion dollars.
The power of this combine is
not even limited to the United
States. Eleven of the top corpo-
rations had at the beginning of
1915 some 38 subsidiaries and
plants in % countries.
MANY of these are located in
the international hotspots where
American .imperialists interests
lie behind the political in
trigues of the US. State Depart
ment and the Truman Admins
tration.
Included are plants in Spain,
Germany, Latvia, the Dutch East
Indies, the Philippines, Egypt,
Arabia and many of the Latin
American countries.
Chicago's labor-hating indus
trialists are inter-locked in many
other ways. One of the most i'm
portant is through such union
smashing organizations as the
Illinois Manufacturers Associa--
ton and the Chicago Association
of Commerce.
BOTH of these organizations
have directed the anti-union stra-
tegy of Chicago's big employers.
They are even more conspicuous
on the political front, and led
bitter struggles against progress
sive legislation such as the So
cial Security Act and the Wag.
ner Act.
More recently, it was James
Donnelly of the INA. who led
the fight to destroy OPA.

Randolph Plans Bill
10 Reduce Accidents
In Federal Agencies

Chairman Randolph of the House
Civil Service Committee announced
today that he will seek passage at
the next session of Congress of leg
islation setting up accident preven-
tion safeguards in Federal agencies
Mr.. Randolph, sponsor of the re-
Gently enacted Randolph health bill
said that If he is returned to Con-
gress next year he will sponsor a
bill to cut down accidents in Gov
ernment.
The West Virginian declared that
most of the accidents occurring in
Government agencies could be pre-
vented by adequate safeguards and
this would not only protect en-
ployes from injury but would save
the Government thousands of work
hours lost as well as millions OF
dollars in injury claims.
Last year, 373 Federal employees
were killed, and 63,005 suffered ac-
cidents, Mr.. Randolph said. AS a
result, nearly 100000 man-days of
work were lost, and $l3,686, ,1O9 was
paid out In direct claims, he said.
Mr.. Randolph said that counting
indirect expense, accidents in the
Federal service cost $30,000,0O0 in
1945 and are continuing right now
at a rate of $26 minute.
Asserting that the Government S
accident rate compares very poorly
with that of private industry, Mr..
Randolph cited statistics to prove
his point. The Federal accident
rate is 9.8 per hundred in contrast
to 3.3 for the Bell Telephone Sys-
tenn, 3.9 for the steel-producing
operations of United States Steel.

refused to supply requested records.
AS the result of the House action.

to the United States attorney here
for possible presentation to grand
jury.
MIR. Rankin announced he would
withhold, temporarily, a request for
similar proceeding against Rich
ard Morford of New York. director
of the National Council for Soviet
American Friendship.
In New York, Mr. Marshall issued
a statement which said Congress
failed to consider why we resisted
the unwararnted and illegal de-
mands of the Fascist minded Wood
Rankin committee and why We are
within our legal and constitutional
rights in refusing to be browbeaten
by the tyrannical methods and pur-
poses of this Un-American Com
