Labor Foe Resigns
 From Government

WASHINGTON (LPA)-A. Ford Hinrichs, who has been acting Com missioner of Labor Statistics for the past six years, has stepped down from that post. Secretary of Labor Schwel- lenbach announced this week that his resignation had been accepted.
 Hinrichs has been the center of a series of battles with the unions over what the Bureau of Labor Statistics should do in the field of economic research and collection of facts and figures, as well as over what part organized labor should play in determining policies of the BIS.
 The much quoted Cost of Living h. dex compiled by the BIS, which was used by the War Labor Board as measure of the amount wages should rise under the Little Steel formula, was bitterly attacked by both CIO and AFL, and equally strongly defended by Hinrichs.

City Double-Cro On Union Recognition fingers Labor
 Against C. o. P.

ROCHESTER, N. Y. (FP) II Aroused by what it feels to be a doublecross by the city council of this Republican city, organized labor is preparing an al1out political drive to teach the city fathers lesson in No vember.
 The wrath of both organized groups was stirred when, following the recent general strike over or ganization of city employees, the city council called special session for the sole purpose of repeating an ordinance providing for the recognition of labor unions.
 The ordinance, passed in 1887 after its introduction by a member of the Photographers union who was then on the council, had apparently been over looked by both sides during the recent strike and was discovered accidentally by Adrian L. Mitten, organizer for the American Federation of State County & Municipal Employees, AFL
 Hanover Fights
 Three million AFL workers and their families in this state do not pro- pose to allow handful of greedy politicians to remove the legal rights of their brothers and sisters in Roches- ter," declared Secretary Harold Han over of the state AFL.
 An interesting aftermath of the general strike is the filing of five false arrest cases against the police chief.

Senator Refuses
 To Relinquiish Union Affiliation
Idaho's Glen H. Taylor Threatens Court Action
 To Hold His Card

WASHINGTON (LPA)-The his- tory-making spectacle of U. s. Senator being denied his $lO,OOO a year salary because he refused to give up his membership in a trade union last week had Congress in its biggest tizzy since Washing ton sOciaIite pinched the behind of Maine Congressman at a British Embassy garden party.
 Senator Glen H. Taylor (D., Idaho), one of organized labor's best friends in the Senate, threatened to go to court to collect his next paycheck on August 1 rather than renounce his membership in the Sheet Metal Work CTS International Association which is affiliated with both the AFL and the Railroad BrotherhoodS.
 Refused To Sign
 Taylor told his colleagues on the floor of the Senate that he, along with other Congressmen and government employees, had been asked to sign an affidavit declaring that he was not a member of an organization that asserts the right to strike against the govern ment. The affidavit was required by a rider recently attached to an appro- priations bill.
 He declared that he was 'nOt pre- pared to swear that my union does not assert the right to strike against the government"

Committee Extends Levy For One Year

WASHINGTON. = Revers- ing a previous stand for a hike in the Social Security Old, Age Insurance Tax, the House Ways and Means Committee freeze" the tax for another year at one per cent on employers payrolls and employees pay.
 New changes in the bill probably will block House floor battle on the Townsend Old Age Pension Plan since under the compromise the lead ership hopes to present the bill to the House with a rule barring amend ments
 New Measure
 As newly drawn the security revi- sion measure provides
 1. A freeze on the one per cent tax for old age and survivors insurance The committee previously had voted to put this tax at Is per cent against employers and employees for a five year period beginning January 1 Without congressional action this tax by provision of the original security statute, would increase automatically next January to 2.5 per cent on em- ployers and employees,
 2. Special survivors insurance coverage for the families of vet. erans of World War III. This stipu. lation would give insurance prOtec. tiOn, without cost, to the families of any veteran who dies within the next three years.
 3. Blanketing 100000 maritime workers under the unemployment compensation features of the Social Security Act. These workers have not been covered previously.
 Increase for Needy
 4 An increase from $2O a month to $25 in the amount the federal gov ernment will put up for matching state funds paid to needy aged, blind and dependent children. This makes it possible, under the 5O-50 federal-state matching arrangement, for a needy person to receive $50 a month instead of the present $40 top.

Hobbs Bill Tabbed

CHICAGO (FP)-The AFL will take to the courts in an attack on the Hobbs Bill, President William Green told the 23rd convention of the Inter national Brotherhood of Firemen & Oilers here.
 He said that ''we do not believe it (the Hobbs bilD is constitu- tiOnal. The right of American work CTS ''to give or to withhold their labor" is a right for which the AFL will always fight, he declared.
 Green predicted wave of strikes and rising unrest" if price control is not restored by Congress.

Action Sought On
 Minimum Wage Bill

Congressman A. J. Biemiller (Dem., Wis.), this week presented petition to the House to discharge the Rules Committee from further consideration of legislation lifting the legal mini mum wage from 40 to 65 cents an hour. The bill is backed by the Ad- ministration and supported by organ ized labor.
 Blasting the attempt of hand full of reactionaries to bottle up the measure, Biemiller declared that working millions of our people for less than 65 cents is a national disgrace"
 Tt is high time that the House of Representatives had an opportunity to thoroughly discuss this vital economic and social problem" he added.

 "The suspension order does not pre- vent a landlord from asking an in creased rent but does prevent the land lord from attempting to use the evic- tion statutes to evict said tenant in the event that he refuses to pay more than the ceiling rent formerly estab- lished under Rent Control.
 ''The suspension order will in- directly, therefore, prevent the landlord from demanding an in- crease in rent, since he will not be able to enforce his demands through the eviction of a tenant on ground of nOn-payment of rent.
 "The suspension of the eviction laws by the Governor will adequately, but temporarily, prevent rent gouging un- til permanent legislation is enacted"

be recalled that investigation
showed that thousands of names
were copied from telephone d.
rectories and signed to kilograms
without the knowledge of the in
dividual. When the investigation
exposed the fraudulent nature of
the high-pressure m p g n
pumped up against the so-caIled
death sentence act" a clever
name hung on the Holding Com
panies Act by the power lobby
the entire campaign backfired
and the bill was enacted.
The lobbyists never learn, how
ever, and similar campaign was
staged against the Securities and
Exchanges Act, with somewhat
more success.
l must not forget the powerful
and ever-active bankers lobby,
which fought the Federal Reserve
Act, now their pet, and every
other proposal for reducing the
stranglehold of the private banks
on the national economy; yet
when the crash came in 1929, di-
rectly traceable in part to the
speculative orgies encouraged by
bankers and stock manipulatocs,
they came running to the govern
ment demanding relief = and got
it.
AS SOON as the bankers were
on their feet again, thanks to the
Roosevelt administration, tn ey
turned on. the Government sa-
vagely and renewed the fight
against every measure designed
to safeguard deposits and invest
ments and to limit the gambling
that bankers can do with other
peoples money.
The lobbies for private greed
and special privilege have learned
how to work together and coordi-
nate their vast and expensive
campaigns of pressure and fear
and appeals to avarice and preju-
dice.
1t is not unusual now for
great many Hobbies to join to-
gether to fight one measure; the
degree of cooperation is unmis-
taxable in the daily mail which
pours in on every Congressional
office. The line changes with the
swiftness and precision of we'll
drilled body of soldiery. 1t is
easy to reason that a single eff
cient and skillful mind is calling
the commands, and the others
jump to obey.
THE outstanding examples of
this close coordination of mary
industrial interests are the fight
on the Price Control Act and on
the Wagner-Ellender-Taft Gener-
al Housing Bill, which was fill
clustered to death in the House
Committee on Banking and Cur
rency by a little knot of reac-
tionary Republican members act
ing under the lash of special In
terest lobbyists and party disci-
pline.
