Two Of The Four
Freedoms Missing
AFL Paper Says

Los Angeles-( FP).-American do
not have two of the famed four free
doms-the freedoms from fear and
from want-charges the Los Angeles
Citizen, the Central Labor Councils
weekly newspaper.
Members Of Congress are blamed
for having denied these two freedoms
from millions Of persons in the L.
S."
Freedom from fear could be
brought nearer a realization by the
immediate enactment of Pres. Tru-
mans health program, and the new
social security act sponsored and sup
ported by the AFL," the editorial
states, adding gloomily that "there
is little probability the social security
bill will pass during the remainder of
this session" of Congress.
Freedom from want "could be made
reality through enactment of the
full employment bill as originally in
troduced, but will not be achieved by
passage of the mutilated House COM
mittee version"
Passage of the minimum wage bill
is also called necessary to prevent
"unscrupulous employers from taking
advantage Of millions Of unOrganized
workers" In short, the Citizen says,
Congress has evaded its obligations
to the American people"

ford workers against the Yale &
Towne Lock Co., Jan. 3 was full
of dramatic movements, but the
high spot came in an angry ex-
change of words between a COM

AS the sound of thousands of
demonstrators in the square out
side reached into the hearing room
where officials of the company,
government and Intl. Assn. of Ma
chinists were gathered around a
conference table, Weldon P. Mon
son, Yale & Towne attorney, pro-
fessed great sympathy with the
mayor. These rowdy demonstra-
tions, those mass picket lines
thrown around the plant by the
union were intimidating the poor,
harassed city official, he insisted.
"That's not truew shouted the
mayor, jumping to his feet. "Do
you want me to tell you who has
been trying to intimidate me? The
only intimidation I've seen is from
Yale & Towne.
"The man doesn't live who can
intimidate me, but because |
wouldn't send police down to crack
skulls I've been slandered in the
papers and photostats of editorials
have been sent out all over the
country. I'v stood up and said: TO
hell with you'."

acted after the critical steel and
coal strikes had reduced available
stocks in the face of tremendous
demand from industry generally.
Farm equipment receiving prior
ity consideration included combines,
grain binders, corn pickers, potato
diggers and pickers, sugar beet and
can harvesting machinery, haying
equipment, corn shelters, fruit and
vegetable graders, wheel type trac-
tors, washers, sackers and convey

ensilage harvesters and peanut dig
gers.
Building products favored include
pressed steel bathtubs, sinks, lava

PALESTINE:
British Hedge

Even as the Arab League met ir
Bludan, Syria, to formulate opposi-
ton to Anglo-American plans for
Jewish immigration to Palestine,
British Foreign Minister Bevin told
the annual Labor party conference
that immediate entry of 100, 900 Jews
to the Holy Land would impose Sc
we're military and financial strain
upon Britain.
Because of the high tension exist
ing between Arab and Jewish ele-
ments in Palestine, Britain would
have to place an additional divi-
sion of troops in the country to pre-
r order, Bevin said. Large
scale financing also would be re-
quired for transport, housing and
extensive reclamation to solve the
veXing land problem.
Bevin's reference to the need of
additional troops followed closely
upon Secretary of State Byrnes' dis
closure that Britain had requested
the dispatch of American soldiers
Palestine to help maintain order
in the event of agreement on per-
hitting the entrance of 100, 900 Jews.
With the immigration question
brought to a head by bitter Arab op-
position and strong Jewish pressure

TOBACCO:
Affirm Monopoly

By unanimous vote, the Supreme
court affirmed the existence of a
monopoly in the tobacco industry
on the unprecedented grounds that
the practices and operations of the
defendants were sufficient to estab-
lish their guilt without need for
proving actual exclusion of competi-
tors.
Affected by the verdict were
American Tobacco company (Lucky
Strike), Liggett & Myers Chester
field, and R. j. Reynolds (CameD,
the big Three" of the industry.
Tracing the background of the
industry since the American To-
bacco trust was broken up in 1911,
Justice Burton asserted that from
1913 the "Big Three" established
a monopoly which grew until it con-
trolled 70 per cent of cigarette pro-
duction, 63 per cent of smoking to-
bacco and A per cent of chewing
tobacco during the 1874 period.
In citing monopolistic tendencies,
the court pointed out that the three
companies maintained large re-
serves of tobacco to make them in
dependent of the market in any one
year; refused to purchase tobacco
on markets unless all three were
represented, and placed limitations
and restrictions on market prices.
During 1882 and 1888 Camels and
Lucky Strikes were actually sold at
loss to throttle competition, the
court found.

With the exception of July, 1943,
