Vote Falls Five Short of Overriding President
 Senate Not 10 Att

WASHINGTON, June. II. = The House upheld President Truman's veto of the hotly-argued Case La- Dor Bill today. by a margin of five in a 390 vote roll call.
 A big majority of the members 255-voted to override the Presi- dent, as compared with l35 who voted to sustain him. But a two- thirds majority was needed to ov- erride and send the measure to the Senate for action.
 Voting to make the bill law not withstanding MT. Trumans objec- tions were l59 Republicans and 96 Democrats. Voting to sustain the President were 118 Democrats and IS Republicans, one Progressive and one Americana -Laborite.
 Vote Greetings
 Shouts of approval came from the Democratic side when the re- suit was announced. There were loud "boos." too, mostly from the Republicans.
 Backers of the legislation have indicated they may attempt to tack the Case Bill on as an amendment to emergency labor legislation re- quested by the President on May 25. The emergency bill has been passed by Senate and House in different forms.
 Special Veto Message
 Mir. Truman gave five reasons for disapproval. in special mes sage to Congress They were

 Major Provisions

Don't Let the
Breaking of q Low
Deter You. Oh, No!
BY Charles d. Rowe

What must the average man think
when the Administration in power
plans to break a law enacted by
Congress for the protection Of the
nation?
That such a charge can be right
fully launched against the late
Roosevelt administration is another
deplorable bit of information
brought out by the Pauley investi-
cation.
It now appears that men who
were raising money for the Demo
cratic campaign fund solicited
wealthy corporations for large con-
tributions. Such large contributions
would be contrary to law. But a
little thing like a law of the land
shouldn't be permitted to stand in
the way. Oh, no. The Roosevelt
cohorts assured those who were
being solicited that they need not
worry that the Administration
minions would show the wicked
corporations how they could give
the donations to the hungry Demo-
cratic campaign fund in such a
manner as 10 get dIOuliu lHS law
Now that's an uplifting and en-
couraging spectacle, isn't it? The
peoples representatives in Congress
enact a law to stop dangerous
practice. And men working to per-
petuate the Administration in power
say they will help others to evade
the spirit of that law. A mild term
for that is corruption in high places.
It appears that Pauley and his
didn't let many moral
scruples deter them in their search
for funds for the Democratic party.
This whole affair is dirty mess
from the standpoint of clean and
honest government.
But these putrid disclosures as

very beginning, the Roosevelt ad-
ministration was closely connected
with corrupt politics and worked
hand in glove with discredlted ele-
ments such as Bosses Hague, Kelley
and others of the same ilk.
Undoubtedly a large majority of
the American people viii support
the present administration in its
announcement of last week that
firmer stand is to be taken by the
U. S. against the constant reaching
out by Soviet Russia for new lands,
for new spheres of influence" and
to her helping herself to the ma
chinery and other resources of con-
quered enemy lands. Apparently
a showdown is a necessity. Russia
is pursuing a disquieting program,
to say the least. If it is possible
to do so, her ambitions must be
held within more reasonable limits.
To curtail those ambitions is
worthy undertaking but we wonder
just how it is to be done Sup
pose Russia politely thumbs her
nose at our protests and, in effect,
asks us what we are going to do
about it. Are there ways to bring
her into line? The first step natur-
ally will be to place any such OBJ
jectionS before the u. N. o., if pro-
tests lodged directly with Russia
herself fail. And then what? Are
the other nations of the u. N. o.
prepared to discipline obstreperous
Russian. No nation is in a condition
at this time to wage war. And
surely no nation wants war.
Those who hope to see peace pre-
vail in this troubled world will
hope that Russia will conclude that
the wisest course for her is to fol-
low more closely the principles en-
unciated by those who are striving
for world peace and justice.

Real Wages
Dropped TO

New York (FP) = Although
American factory workers are TAX
ing home 1.8 per cent more pay
each week than they were a year
ago, the purchasing power of their
increased payroll is Z per cent less
than it was last August, according
to a survey published here by the
National Industrial Conference
Board.
While hourly earnings in August
climbed 1912 per cent over the
previous year, the boards figures
showed that hours worked per
week have been cut 7.8 per cent,
thus tending to level out the statis
teal wage jump.
The boards survey, which COW
cred rs industries, found that in
10 of them workers can buy less
with their seemingly increased
earnings than they could last year.
The drop in real earnings varied
from II per cent in the wool in
dustry to 1877 per cent in heavy
equipment manufacturing.

Publisher Hit In
Strike Of Typos

Washington (FP) - Publisher
Nelson Poynter of the St. Peters
burg (Fla.) Evening Independent
and Times was named Oct. 81 in
a recommendation of NLRB trial
examiner that he bargain with the
International Typographical Union
in connection with the IL month
strike against his two papers.
Poynter, professed liberal, has
been operating his payers by con-
solidating the composing rooms
and refusing to negotiate with the
ITU.
NLRB Trial Examiner Thomas
s. Wilson found that Poynter is in
error ain claiming that the strike
was caused by the unions refusal
to bargain Although the union
was not willing to arbitrate the
difference, the facts show that it
was at all times ready to bar
gain"
The st. Petersburg strike began
Nov. 20, 1945 and Wilson found
the companies (Times Publishing
Co., Evening Independent Inc. and
News Printing, Inc.) had ''by un-
lateral action established new
conditions of employment without
negotiating such conditions with
the long-recognized and well-esta-
blished bargaining agent of the
affected"
Wilson also held the companies
had verbally and in mimeographed
statements refused to negotiate
with the strikers or with the
and required as a condi-
ton to the adoption of the unila-
terally announced working condi-
tions that "the strikers abandon
the strike officially, renounce their
representative, be hired
Individually as new employees and
hen select representative before
-he respondents would bargain"
Wilson said that the companies
were in reality dealing with in
1ividual printers and not with a
July authorized bargaining agent"
Under the rules Of the NLRB
both parties have 10 days to file
exceptions to the recommenda-
lions, and 10 days in which to ask
for oral arguments before the
NLRB in Washington.

AFL Bakers Refuge
Static Wage, Walk Out

Washington (FP)-Washin"to"'s
1000 union bakers walked off the
job after repeated efforts to AVOID
a strike hating 80 per cent of the
capital city's bread supply. Grocers
Immediately put into effect one
loaf -per-customer ration.
The bakers, members Of Local
118, Bakery & Confectionery
Workers, struck after spokesmen
for the Employing Bakers Associa-
tion refused union demands for
limiting duration Of wage clauses
until April, 1947, in view Of the
rising cost Of living. The EBA in
sisted on tying the workers to a
fixed wage until April, 1913.
Originally demanding a 33.5 per
cent raise, the union agreed on the
eve of the strike to a Is cents
hourly across the board raise, but
hit snag when the EBA insisted
on tying the union to the long
contract. Skilled bakers now get

Urges Labor
Form Their
Own PdrtY

Miami Beach, Fla. (FP) - For
nation of a central political com
mittee representing all labor, as a
prelude to establishment of labor
party, was urged here by A. F.
Whitney, newly reelected head of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men.
Labor" Whitney dec a d
Cannot find sanctuary in the Re-
publican party" and since Presi-
dent Roosevelt's death the Demo
cratic party "has gone Republi-
can"
Regardless Of his disappoint-
ment with the Democrats, Whitney
said, he would not look to the Re-
publicans for relief.
Questioned about the potential
strength of a possible labor party,
Whitney pointed out that IA mil
lion Americans belong to labor
unions and that with their families
the figure runs much higher.
Strong, organized political ac-
tion," he predicted, would bring
out "a large labor vote that here
tofore has not been going to the
polls"
Attacking Sen. Joseph H. Ball,
who spoke in Miami at a Republi-
can party rally, Whitney described
Ball as "an unfit man to hold
public office"
"Sen. Ball pledged labor his sup
port in the last campaign and pro-
fessed to be in sympathy with Mr.
Roosevelt's philosophy" he said.
"After he was comfortably seated
in the Senate, he truned on labor
like an adder, doublecrossed and
repudiated u.s."
Labor has been the victim of
takers BEFORE" Whitney added,
"and we must take a closer inven-
tory of candidates for office in the
future"

fixed fee per hour, but this is ad-
Unstable downward where families
can pay only a part or none of the
fee. Many who need nursing care
perhaps and day, or an hour a
week, can get it from this service,
where otherwise they could not get
it at all.
This is a million miles from the
old original privately owned well
fare work that was so often justly
known as "hell-fare" work.
Labor would do we'll to demand
and get places on all community
chest boards and on the boards of
many Of the agencies.
Some of the agencies on which
labor ought to seek membership
are the tuberculosis Societies, the
Visiting Nurse Associations, the
Health Councils where they exist,
the Societies for the Hard of Hear
ing, the Family Service and Chill
dren's Service organizations, the
Cancer Societies and the Blood
Banks.
Labor has the ability to give
good service through members on
such boards. 1t can and should
have an active voice in direction.
This is entirely in line with ma
tional labor policy, which is
thoroughly up to date on the sub
ject.
And labor also ought to seek
places on hospital boards, even
though they are not chest agencies.
They all tie into the general pat
tern of public health work, in
which so many chest agencies are
involved.
Community chest agencies do
for persons and families things
that the city or county generally
cannot do and that the family can
not do. One Family Service
Bureau, in the course of trying to
untangle family troubles now finds
that it can detect and remedy
numerous cases of mentally i'll
children, whose mental maladjust-
ment generally is due to a rough
house family background. 1t does
this with the help of a top-flight
psychiatrist. The service is unique
and Of great value. Potential crime
is nipped.
The service rendered to children
is enormous and above price. But
the cost, through most chest agen-
cies, is extremely low.
A sad fact is that most workers
for such agencies are under-paid.
A lot of devotion goes into the
work, because it generally requires
devoted persons to work at under
paid jobs in these fields. Bigger
chests are the only remedy for
this.
Labor has an opportunity in
every city where there is a Com
Chest.
In many cases it is taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity. In
EVERY case, it ought to be doing
so. 1t is the great field of the un-
fortunate.-CMW.

Sue For Back
Pdy,Dd

San Francisco (FP)-The Inter-
national Longshoremen's & Ware
housemen's Union filed suit for
more than million dollars against
the Waterfront Employers Asso-
citation Oct. 20 on behalf Of 10000
west coast longshoremen who have
not received pay due them under
their June Ia contract.
The suit, filed in state superior
court by Harry Bridges individual
ly and as president of the ILWU,
accused the employers of promot-
ing a "plan and conspiracy" to
damage and weaken the morale"
of the longshoremen i'm the midst
of their strike.
Of the more than 6 million dol
lars asked, 5 million covers the re-
troactive pay, l million covers
punitive and exemplary damages,
plus interest at 7 per cent on the
5 million, or about LOO dollars a
day from Oct. 10. That was the
date the WEA notified the union
it would not pay the % hourly
raise by Oct. 81 as required by the
contract.
Meanwhile, the west coast mari
time strike continued with the
ILWU offering the WEA a new
compromise for settlement of the
longshore walkout. 1t proposed
that a definition Of coastwise and
deep sea vessels be worked out and
agreed to negotiate contract
covering only coastwise vessels.
