Stdtes Take
Over USES

Washington (FP) - Wartime
federal administration of the u.
S. Employment Service ended Nov.
18 as the states once again took
over running the fl
nanced job placement service
which had been in federal hands
since shortly after Pearl Harbor.
USES Director Robert C. Good
win said all plans of operations
submitted by the states had been
approved prior to the transfer, al
though with reservations" in
some instances. Details will be
worked out, he said, to bring state
operations in line with the Wag-
ner-Peyser act (setting up USES,
the CT bill Of rights and the Labor
Department appropriation bill.
Equality of job opportunity for
minority groups and uniform de-
finition of suitable work" have
been the most-mentioned stumb-
ling blocks to federal ol<ay of state
plans. A skilled worker may not
draw unemployment compensation
if a reactionary state administra-
tion judges low paid unskilled
work as suitable for him.
The new setup calls for the fed
eral government to finance the
whole program, paying the salaries
of USES staffs now technically
working for the states which set
their own scales.

OPA Opposes

Washington (FP) - The OPA,

oppose any blanket increase in
rent ceilings, but Administrator
Paul Porter indicated it is consid-
ering a plan to end ceilings on
hotel room rates.
Porter, according to OPA sourc-

rent control must come from Con-

the OPA Industry Advisory Com

Sfufe Directors
Foce Big Tosk In
Vet Employment

Washington (FP) - State di-
rectors of veterans affairs meet
ing here under the leadership of
the Unemployment & Rehabilita-
tion Administration were told
there is big job ahead in getting
suitable employment for war vet
erans.
With the return of the U. S.
Employment Service to state con-
troll this month, Secretary of
Labor Lewis Schwellenbach told
the delegates, and 100000 World
War III veterans now out of work
looking for jobs, the states have
been handed a serious task.
Through the conference, both
southern delegates and northern
veterans affairs directors from
GOP-controlled states raised a
mighty cry for states rights in the
handling of veterans matters.
But when it came time to pass
resolutions the group decided to
form national organization
among themselves to exchange in
formation and services, to secure
uniformity and equality of service
in all the states and to keep in
touch with all veterans legislation.
They also resolved to ask the Vet
Grams Administration for money to
carry on job trainee and apprentice
programs.
Although exactly what states
rights had been infringed in the
past did not come out in the open
for frank discussion, it was clear
that certain delegates, particular
ly from the south, resented federal
recommendation of employment
standards for veterans.
In October Major Gen. G. B. Err
skine IRA head, had circulated a
statement of employment princi-
Piles among which were: 1. "All
workers should be employed on
jobs commensurate with their
skills and capacities :" and 2.
"Sex, race, creed, color or physical
impairment should not be factors
in the selection or retention of
workers or in the amount of COM
pensation paid" These recommen-
dations clearly did not sit well
with representatives of governors
opposed to the idea of "giving the
veteran more than he's been used
to-"

Atlantic City, n. j. (FP)-Warn-
ing of an ever-increasing threat to
labor's hard-won rights, President
A. F. Whitney of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen told the Sth
Constitutional Convention of the
CIO that his union will cooperate
100 per cent in the fight against
repression of labor"
Whitney told the delegates that
although the trainmen had recent
ly rejected bid to join the CIO,
that action was based merely on
the BRT's traditional independence.
Warmly praising President Phil
Murray, Whitney said that labor's
enemies are attempting to distort
the BRT's action as meaning that
labor is weak and divided and thus
will be ian easy pushover for a
strong attack"
"The rumble of reaction grows
daily louder across our horizon" "
he declared "We cannot yet an
ticipate the exact nature of the at
tack upon US nor its strength, but
we can be certain that it is coming.
We can be equally certain that
labor will not retreat. . F.. You can
be equally sure of the answering
determination Of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen to fight
shoulder to shoulder with you. To-
gether we will win through to vic
tory sooner and at a lower cost in
human suffering"
Whitney warned the delegates
there are three great pitfalls that
threaten unionism: the danger Of
forgetting to maintain a militant
tradition, efforts to turn members
against their unions and their
leaders by circulating lies and
propaganda, and what he called
the tissue" danger.
an my time | have observed
three big issues, none of which
ever had any real influence in the
labor movement" Whitney said.
"All of them were used by reac-
tionary forces to retard the growth
of organized labor. | refer to So
cialism, the nihilistic practices of
the IWW's and communism"
He pointed out that one of the
most successful labor leaders in
the u. S. was Socialist Eugene v
Debs, who won his following be
cause he fought vigorously for ur-
gently needed reforms. "Debs,'" he
said, twas feared by the industrial
lords of his day not because of his
political beliefs but because of his
effectiveness as a leader
'The lesson is clear. The meas
ure of a mans leadership is not
his political beliefs but his ability
TO give effective voice and effort to
the yearnings and the pent-up de-
mands Of the men he represents.
"And so it is today. Many ur
gently needed economic reforms
are labeled communistic in an eff
fort to defeat them. Labor leaders
who preach no doctrine more radi-
cal than the Sermon on the
Mount are charged with being
communists in an effort to under
mine their position and deprive
