Report Of Lobor
DEPT. Incomplete
Says Spokesman

Washington (FP)-A Sept. 19
Labor Dept. announcement that the
number of building trades apprentices
increased 8.9 per cent in August
should be taken with a grain of
caution.
The figures which show over 67,-
0C0 apprentices in the building trades
at the end of August, ITO per cent
above the April mark, do not reflect
an actual increase, since surveys last
spring were not so complete as at
present, a Labor Dept. spokesman
told Federated Press.
A major factor affecting the pic
ture is the recently imposed $2O0
monthly ceiling on income of veteran
trainees under the CT bill of rights
which will hit the vast majority of
apprentices in the field.
The Labor Dept. spokesman told
FP: "As yet we have not felt the
repercussions of this change in the
law. | would not expect any adverse
effect on the apprenticeship program
to appear until perhaps a November
report on the month of October.
He said he knew protests on the
job-training ceiling "are pouring in
to Gen. Bradley at the Veterans Ad-
miniStration.

New York (FP)-For the first time
in the history of the airwaves a union
meeting was broadcast when station
WOR aired floor discussion by strik-
ling New York teamsters.
The program, called Strike Scene
In New York, was documentary re-
port on the AFL trucking, maritime
and music strikes. Using two record
ing units, the stations news staff
covered railroad yards, piers, ware
houses, hotels, tunnels, food stores
and the stormy strike meeting of
Local 807, international Brotherhood
|of Teamsters.
AS the only radio representative
towering the session, WOR was asked
by union leaders to record the full
proceedings. Two solid hours of argu-
ment were Transcribed and edited
broadcast.
"The teamsters gave a real demon
stration of the American town meet
ing spirit in action" observed Dave
Driscoll, WOR special features chief.
The documentary included reports
from strikebound points where activi-
ty was at standstill, the harbor
where ships lay quietly at anchor
and hotels where pickets walked

"'Soviet unions are not organized

not appear to be any specific legisla-

told the delegates that "if the Com

American workers utter fools"
Mr.. Green vigorously assailed the
recent convention of the CLOS Elec-

"lavishing praise on Soviet Russia

Pointing out that resolution con
demning Communism and Fascism

Attorney General
Orders Fight For
Sedifion Trial

Washington (FP)-Atty. Gen. Tom
Clark has overridden the recommen-
dation of his special assistant, John
0. Rogge, and ordered him to demand
the trial of 26 native fascists on sedi-
ton charges in December.
Rogge, appearing before Justice
Bothia Laws of the U. S. District
Court here Sept 20, asked that the
trial start in December, but defense
lawyers argued for an October date.
Justice Laws ruled that defense
motions will be accepted on Oct. A,
after which he will set them for argu-
ment - procedure that may take
several weeks.
The motions are expected to include
dozens to quash the cases and release
the accused, including Mrs. Elizabeth
Dilling, Lawrence Dennis, William
Dudley Pelley, Gerald B. Winrod, Joe
McWilliams, <. N. Sanctuary, Lois de
Lafayette Washburn and Frank W.
Clark.
Atty. E. Hilton Jackson, represent
ing Winrod, asked Rogge if he OBJ
tanned new evidence in Europe
against the defendants. Rogge replied
he had and it is in 394-page report
submitted to Clark.
Mrs. Dilling, at the conclusion OF
the hearing, turned on Rogge and
screamed: "Some day you will suffer
for what you're doing to US, you
louise. You ought to suffer in hell fol
| it."
Albert Dilling, her husband and at
torney, waved copy of In Fact
we eekly newsletter published by
George Seldes dated Sept. 9, and de-
manded that Rogge be prohibited
from releasing "smear" attacks. The
entire issue of In Fact was devoted
to an undenied summary of Rogge's
report, including his recommendation
that the sedition cases be dropped be-
cause of a Supreme Court ruling on
free speech that he believes will make
it impossible to convict them.

DIR. Frank Graham To Get
1916 Clendenin Award

New York City (ILNS)-For being
in the forefront Of every struggle for
labor's rights in the south, DR.. Frank
P. Graham, president of the Univer-
sity of North Caroline, will get the
1916 Clendenin award of the the
Workers Defense League.
DR.. Graham has opened up the uni
versity to labor Institutes, which is an
innovation in the south. Through his
years of active work with the Nation
al Sharecroppers Fund he has contri-
buted much to the campaign to i'm
prove conditions of sharecroppers and
tenant farmers, the WDL said.
Presentation of the award will take
place at luncheon during the 10th
anniversary conference of the WDL,
Nov. at the Henry Hudson Hotel,
New York City. The award, for dis
tinguished service in behalf of labor's
rights, has been given each year since
1941.

Profits Soar In
New Car Prices

Detroit (FP) - Profits of auto
manufactures, already looming large
"now will be increased by the sale in
finished cars of materials already
p al d for" Secretary Treasurer
George F. Adde'S of the United Auto
Workers told OPA Chief Paul A. Por-
ter on learning Of further boosts in
car price ceilings by the OPA.
Shortages of materials, Adde'S
shows, will hold car production down
to about the 1910 level after the new
prices go into effect. Profits in 1910
were substantial, he reminds the
OPA.
"Since 1940," the UAW official
says, "auto prices have been increased
about 48 per cent (not counting the
latest Ford raises). Wage rates have
been increased about 35 per cent and
material costs by less than 25 per
cent. In view of that, how can the
OPA seriously believe that the indus
try cannot equal 1910 profits with the
anticipated 1910 volume. And it
should be remembered that industry
still retains the lushly generous pro-
visions of the tax laws which permit
reduced profits to be written off at
government expense"
In JAW circles the continuing rise
in price of cars is causing anxiety
lest not enough buyers can be found
to absorb production, once the first
cream has been skinned off the mar
ket. 1t is ventured there that the re-
cent stock market crash was due, in
addition to many other factors, prin-
cipllay to the panic caused among
shrewd investors when the Federal
Reserve Bank report on holdings of
war bonds and savings accounts was
published
The report shows 60 per cent Of
bonds and savings held by only 10 per
cent Of the people Instead of owner
ship being widely distributed, espec-
tally in the lower income brackets,
the bank survey revealed that the
low brackets held virtually no bonds
and the brackets Immediately above
had very few. Substantial bond hold
ings had been counted on by stock
market spectators for heavy con
sumner purchases with corresponding
profits to corporations and further
rise in their stocks in Wall Street.

CITY RESTRAINED
 ]. lh CHARGING NEW ! ELECTRIC RATES
Temporary Order Signed by Judge Kehoe Pend ing Trial of Suit

District Court Judge J. w. Ke- hoe yesterday signed a temporary restraining order enjoining the City Of Juneau from enforcing the pro- visions of the Ordinance No. 303 regulating rates of the Alaska Elec- Uric Light and Power Company, pending trial of a suit filed by the company against the City of Juneau and the members of the -council last Saturday.
 In the complaint filed Saturday the company alleges that the rates fixed by the council on April lst by Ordinance No. 303, are "unrea- ssonable and confiscatoryf and not sufficient to permit fair return Ion the companys investments. The Ordinance is attacked on other grounds, one of which is that thu Ordinance pretends not only to fi' a schedule of rates, but to limit sthe companys earnings to cer. .tain fixed and definite sum, while Sat the same time limiting the op' serating expenses in the face of con- stinually rising costs.
 Under the terms of the re sstraining order the company vii continue to collect the old rate until the case can be tried il :coprt. The court required the com spany to file a bond in the sum o s$25. 900 conditioned that the com spany will refund to the city ant sto consumers the difference between the old rates and the new if tn sccurt should finally uphold tn validity of Ordinance No. 303.
