PETRILLO BILL
PASSES HOUSE

Washington-(FP BY a standing
vote of % to 43 the House passed the
so-called anti-Petrillo bill Feb. 21
after three hours of debate in which
every foe of organized labor voiced
hatred for unions.
The House rejected a motion by
Rep. Vito Marcantonio (ALP, N.Y. to
send the bill back to committee and
then refused to take a roll call vote
demanded by the New Yorker
Under the terms of the bill intro
duced by Rep. Clarence Lea Cd, Cali
"coercive labor practices" in the broad
casting industry are outlawed with
six specific practices made illegal un-
der penalties up to $1,000 in fines
and a year in prison.
Marcantonio's objection to the bill
was directed at its provision that he
said would interfere with the right
to strike after negotiations on labor
issues had failed.
Rep. Charles Halleck OR, Ind.), who
has never been listed among the
friends of labor, objected to the bill
by saying that its proviso prohibiting
the fuse or the express or implied
threat of the use of other means" tC
enforce labors demands included the
right to strike, or threatening tC
strike.
"For the first time, so far as
know, there is criminal penalty at
tached to bill; criminal penalty tc
be inflicted, as the report says, fol
the exercise of the right to strike
Halleck said.
Pres. James C. Petrillo of thf
American Federation of Musicians
(AFL) is the particular target of the
legislation, which now goes to the
Senate for conference. The Senate
had previously passed a milder, less
Objectionable measure.

UNIV Asks No Cut
In Take-Home Pay

Pittsburgh-(FP). If proceedings of
Dist. 5, United Mine Workers (AFL),
BIENNIAL convention, which concluded
here Feb. II, serve as a pattern in
national contract negotiations to be
initiated soon in Washington, the
miners will demand a return to a z
hour day without reduction in their
daily pay.
The doth convention Of Dist. 5, rep
resenting some $4,000 miners, instruct
ed its eight members on the national
scale committee to press for reduc-
tlon in working hours at present take
home pay. The instructions do not
mention wage increases as such.
The national bituminous coal wage
agreement which went into effect
April /, 1916, set a workday of nine
hours from portal to portal, including
staggered Is minutes for lunch. Of
these nine hours, seven are paid at
straight rates, the eighth at time
anda-half and the ninth at a flat
rate of $3.50. Outside employees work
SH hours. They receive straight time
for seven hours and time-and- -a-half
for Ia hours.
This did not constitute an increase
but was merely an overtime payment
including travel time for all hours in
excess of the 7-hour day. Overtime
during the war saw take-home pay
increased fro $5706 to $63.50 on d
6-day week.
Delegates to the convention block
cd an administration proposal to in
crease tenure of district officers from
four to six years. Resolutions were
passed favoring national holiday on
the anniversary of the late Pres.
Roosevelt's death, demanding per-
manent FEPS, approving a royalty
plan according to which operators are
to pay 10c a ton of coal into union
administered old-age, sickness and un-
employment fund.

Strikers Win 12c
Hourly Increase

Lancaster, Pa.-(FP).- Settlement
of the transit strike here, which also
ended an AFL general sympathy
strike, netted the striking members of
Local 1241, Amalgamated Assn. Of
Street Electric Railway & Motor
Coach Employees 12c hourly pay in
crease, as against their original zoe
demand.
The contract, which will expire
March /, 1947, also provides an in
crease in pensions, a guaranteed A.
hour week and maintenance of mem
bership clause OF the unions origi-
nal % demands, six were granted in
full, two in part and II were turned
down.
A possible source of new friction
was seen in the Conestoga Transpor-
tation Co.'S statement that it would
keep on the payroll so strikebreakers
hired during the walkout. Although the
company maintained this had been
agreed to by the union, union spokes-
men asserted the company had agreed
secretly to fire the men. Use of the
strikebreakers, many of them veter-
ans, created a series of violent Incl
dents during the 16-day strike, with
cops using their clubs against pickets
and arresting a number of strikers, in
cluding union officials.

General Condemns
Conscription As
Unden1ocrutic

Washington, d. C.-QLNS).-"To-
talitarian viewpoints" are prevalent
in the Army" whose thinking is OBJ
solete on conscription, one of the
Army's own told the House Military
Affairs Committee.
Brig. Gen. H. C. Holdridge, retired
of Washington, product of West
Point and long years of Army life,
vigorously opposed universal military
training, as proposed by President
Truman and the War Department. He
declared such training in peacetime
would undermine our national demo-
cracy by matchmaking 1S-year-old
boys with the totalitarian viewpoints
prevalent in the Army"
The witness assailed the Army as
"undemocratic and un-American" and
charged it "teaches blind obedience to
an aristocratic ruling class"
Sees Army Lag in Thinking
Universal training, he held, not
only would "create international i'll
WILL" but would be stepping stone
to World War Ill.
Holdridge said that the Army "iS
running true to form; it Is always
one or two years behind in its think
ing" and that sit is trying to railroad
this Legislation through on wave Of
postwar hysteria."
"The Army has looked in the bach
of the book, put its finger on the
same old answer-compulsory mill
tary training-and is trying to worl
the problem backwards to force thai
answer to fit the problem of the
atom bomb," Holdridge told the com
mittee.
Speaking for the Veterans League
of America, an organization of World
War ii veterans, Holdridge said that
"all of our preconceived ideas (or
warfare) have been rendered obso-
lete" by the atom bomb.
He said Gen. Macarthur has been
reported as saying that 100000 men
using new weapons would be ade-
ouate for United States security. He
quoted Gen. II. H. Arnold, former
Army air chief, as having said re-
peatedly that the atom bomb makes
obsolete the air power developed dur
ing the war.
Gen. Holdridge served 80 years in
the Army. He was graduated from
West Point in 1917 and has a son
who also graduated from West Point
He served in the Army of Occupa-
tion in Germany until 1922 and later
in the Philippines. He was comman-
dant of the Adjutant Generals
School at Fort Washington, Md, and
director of school training of 19
Army administration schools before
his retirement in 1914 because of dis
ability incurred in the service.

Pol Of Rep. Smith
Wins First Round

Washington-(FP = A fist fight
on the floor of the Alexandria, Va,
Central Labor Union (AFL) involving
a henchman of Rep. Howard w. Smith
%, Va.) and two members of the
Gu is mot in the jurisdiction" of the
Justice Dept's civil rights section de-
spite severe sentences given the two
union men in Smith-controlled court.
That news came Feb. Il after Sen.
Harley W. Kilgore Cd, w. Va.) had
put an inquiry to the federal agency
on possible violation of the civil rights
of the two as U. S. citizens.
The two men, Pres. George D..
Hardman of the Alexandria Gu and
Jay c. Turner, delegate to that body,
received identical sentences of 3
months in Jail, $3.50 fine, and suspen-
ded fines of $500 on years good be-
havior on charges lodged by J. Fred
Kirchner, former president of the
Alexandria Gu and now labor in
spector for the state of Virginia.
According to Paul Smith, state AFL
official who was present at the Jan.
meeting, Kirchner and a group of
outsiders who had no business in
the union hall started a fist fight with
Turner, while Hardman remained in
the chair rapping for order. Later the
group left in body, returning within
an hour with warrant for the ar.
rest of the two CLU members. The
conviction in an Alexandria court fol.
lowed.
The case was called to the attention
of the House Feb. IL by Rep. Charles
r. Savage Cd, Wash.) over the pro-
tests Of polltaxer Smith whose dis
trict includes Alexandria and who was
influential in getting Kirchner his
state post. Smith, author of much Of
the anti-labor legislation appearing
in the House, has consistently been
opposed for reelection by both CIO
and AFL.
A citizens committee formed Feb.
20 is seeking the help of the public
in the Alexandria area in supporting
the appeal Of the case TO higher
court.

Our Dolly Bread
By RUTH TAYLOR

"The history of the world is the
record of man in quest of his daily
Bread" so wrote Hendrick Van Loon.
The price Of wheat has been re-
sponsible for more wars than has
patriotism. Primitive man wandered
along the streams in the valleys or
by the shores of lakes or oceans,
searching for food, and, from the
exigency of his quest-from the in
stinct for self preservation-arose
the struggle with his fellows.
The fertile valleys of the Mediter-
ranean-Egypt and the valley of
Mesopotamia were overrun by
hordes of the hungry from less fertile
regions. Conqueror after conqueror
swept over the land, coming in, fierce
with hunger, devastating, settling,
giving birth to new culture, and in
turn being overthrown by other
hordes of the hungry. And while
hunger does not now drive people in
companies from their homes and pour
them into other lands, any threat
which excites the old hunger-fear,
arouses the war spirit and stirs the
migrating impulse.
More new nations have been
brought into existence by the cost of
wheat than by the policy of self de-
termination. Indeed the small ma
tions have all had the need for food
to back up their patriotism. Having
been conquered nations, they felt like
people in rented house paying toe
much for something they did not own
They blamed the scarcity of food OF
supplies, high prices and everything
they did not like on those who ruled
That is why there is so much in.
ternal disturbance after a natior
frees itself. The people cannot SEE
why they do not at once get every
thing they thought would come witt
| freedom.
That is the danger right now. That
is the practical "why" for feeding
hungry, war-torn Europe. Hungry
men do not reason. Hungry mer
grasp at straws. Hungry men strike
out blindly and will barter theil
birthrights for food for their fami
lies.
In our daily prayer we say "Givt
us this day our daily bread" Note
that we pray "us" and "our", not
me" and "my". Nothing can be fol
one alone. Whether it be freedom OF
food,-it must be for all. Can we not
must we not, share our bread with
the hungry?

Women Won't
Postwdr Jobs

Washington, D. C. 0LNS) - How
do the postwar employment plans and
needs of the San Francisco Oakland
Areas women workers, expressed
prior to We Day, stack up with the
situation as it actually exists today?
The Women's Bureau of the u. S.
Department of Labor threw some
light on the question when it recent
ly released findings of its pre-V-E
Day survey of women's wartime en-
ployment in the metropolitan areas
of the two cities. Conducted through
home interviews with more than
1000 women workers, the survey re-
vealed that:
O Sixty-nine per cent of the
women employed in the San Fran
cisco Oakland Area just before the
end of the war in Europe expected to
continue working in the postwar
period, and 81 per cent or 167,5CO de-
sired jobs in that area.
Women Workers Nearly Doubled
(2) If employment is provided for
all of the 167,500 women, the areas
postwar jobs for women would have
to exceed the number available in
1910 by 100000
(3) From March, 1910 to the
spring of 1916, the number Of women
employed in jobs other than house
hold employment increased from 1877,
700 to 274,5C0, or nearly doubled
War plants and government installa-
tions accounted for 60 per cent of
the increase, with women's employ
ment in the former rising from 20, ,1CO
to 73,600, and in the latter from $500
to $1,000. Over half of the women
working in the San Francisco-Oak-
land Area during the war were en-
ployed the week before Pearl Harbor
ca Forty-five per cent of the
women working prior to the wal
shifted to other industries, mainly to
the war plants or government estab-
lishments. The greatest exodus oc-
Cured in trade and service, indus
tries which prior to the war en-
ployed two-thirds of all the areas
women workers Most women in
volved in the shifts to other indus
tries learned new skills and received
considerably higher wages than they
had earned previously. Average take
home earnings of women working in
war plants were $50 as against
S31.50 in restaurants, $1,000 in
stores, $50 in laundries, and $27.5O
in hotels.
Most Help Support Families
(5) Women workers in the San
Francisco Oakland Area, as in other
areas surveyed by the Women's Bu-
reau, have heavy financial RESPONSE
bilities. This is evidenced by the fact
that three-fourths of the women who
said they expected to work in the
postwar period reported that they
would be doing so to support them
selves and, in many cases, other per-
sons. Of every 100 women planning
to continue in the peacetime labor
market, II lived with some member
of their family and 81 of these con-
tributed substantially each week to
the family upkeep. Over two-thirds
of the total money in the pay en-
velope of these women living as fam
lily members was contributed regular
ly to the household.
Many women in the San Francisco
Oakland Area, as in Buffalo, Detroit
Baltimore, and other cities surveyed
expressed the hope that their postwar
employment would be in manufacture
ing. About twice as many in the San
Francisco Oakland Area would like
to work in manufacturing as were
thus employed in 1910.

This period, which we refer to

why don't you go out and get a
steady job so you can pay me,
