RAILROAD UNIONS
WIN LONG FIGHT


Washington, D. c. - Legislation
long advocated by the railroad broth
erhoods, amending the Railroad Re-
tirement and Unemployment Com
pensation Acts and liberalizing the
present laws, was signed by Presi-
dent Truman.
The new act increases unemploy-
ment compensation benefits from a
maximum of 500 week for 20 weeks
to $25 week for 26 weeks.
In addition to increasing the rail-
road annuities, the new law estab
fishes survivors pensions for widows
and children of deceased railroad

workers. These benefits are 25 per
cent above those provided by the So
cial Security Act. The new law in
creases and liberalizes disability an
nuities.
The act makes larger fund avail
able for benefit payments by increas-
ing retirement rates from the present
71a per cent to 12H per cent in 1949.
Under terms of the new law the
concept of unemployment is expanded
to include individual unemployment
due to sickness and accident.

to make every effort to convert the
majority to their own way of think
ing, but they must do this by reason
ing and argument, not by force, and
they have no right to become stumb-
ling block in the way of progress.
Democracy implies that men will get
together to find a common meeting
ground for their opposing viewpoints.
Since each man has the right to speak,
there should be no offense taken at
difference of opinion. Democratic dis
cussion should be conducted not only
in spirit of tolerance and fair play
but with full recognition of the
basic fact that there are more things
upon which men of good will are
agreed than there are points of dis
agreement. Democracy is not compro-
mise-it is cooperative action.
You as labor men believe in democ-
racy. Your unions are run according
to the democratic principles. Democ-
racy is the life blood Of the Organized
Labor movement. When the lights Of
democracy are dimmed, Labor goes
into servitude
What is your definition of democ-
racy? l wish you men throughout the
country would discuss this in your
Central Labor Bodies and in your To-
calls and let me know what the voice
of Labor says to this question. I've an
idea we'd really find the answer!

flation.
So we are giving business a chance
to save itself and the nation from
economic grief. We are putting our
shoulders to the wheel and showing
production ahead with all our power
in the hope that scarcities will soon
end andprices will drop of their own
weight It takes considerable self
restraint and discipline for the
trade unon movement to keep to this
| policy under present pressure. We
hope that business likewise will ex-
ercise self-restraint and give the
American people break by restor-
ing prices to their natural level
through high-volume production.

More and Cheaper Food
(NeW York Sum


 It is plain enough to any that since the first of July when the Office of Price Administration ex pired and free markets back the supply of goods of nearly all kinds has enormously increased That IS particularly true of meat and other food Since re- vival of OPA the items excluded from it's operation have become even plentiful OPA itself has been busy lifting price ceilings other goods, with the aim of increasing supplies Yet prices commodities that are becoming plentiful are well below what the public had to pay for them, under OPA, to obtain them at all The 138 per cent rise in food prices ported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics covering the period June Is to July l5 covers official prices, of course and is wholly unrealistic Prices have risen above OPA ceilings but they have fallen below the real or black market prices
 From a recent survey the Civilian Production Ad- mnisration finds that the month of holiday from the OPA produced speculative uprising the part of consumers It signs of one developing. It found tendency of the public to stock up buyer resistence" to high prices.
 It is not necessary to guess and depend hearsay establish the fact that free markets have not only increased the supply of food but have done so with declines in prices An advertisement of one of the leading chain store food distributors tells the story advertised in the meat line fowl of one kind or another Now it's advertisement reads: All the meat you want" Among it's items of which there are thirty five Porterhouse steak, 69 cents pound top siroin roast, 59 cents; srlon steak, 67 cents
 The Suns daily box scores of the citys food prices show that even the five weeks since OPA relnquish ed control of meats, the index of those prices has declined steadily In the black market rib roast, for instance sold at from 90 cents to S10 pound Prices yesterday ranged between AT and 82 cents Butter, relieved of price control sold in the black market at between 90 cents and $1 pound Most stores getting between 69 and 72 cents pound yesterday, and there plenty for everyone. The Suns charts show clearly that since the end of price control not only supply mounted steadily but that the increase has been accompanied by a steadily declining index of prices
 Quite change this from closed butcher shops and the long lines of customers outside those that remained open waiting the hope that little might be left on occasional day when the spread that la certain store had little for salewhile the "insd CTS" took meat out of back doors direct from de- livery trucks at prices far above those quoted in the advertisement.

iority leader of the United States Senate, his has been one of the most difficult of all postwar as signments. Our system does not surround the office of majority leader with the apparatus of pro lection and staff work which prop erly serve the White House or Cab inet positions or even lowly price administrator.
 The majority leader is directly exposed to all the pressures of his own constituency, and in addition must bear the burdens that flow from the vast and complex welter of legislative problems that his re- sponsibility requires he master. Moreover, he is on the firing line of legislative debate, day in and day out, ard has the duty of guld- ing through the shoals and quick sands of controversy a program which is composed of many issues, great and small This is task that requires the ability to exercise promptly a thousand judgments. It calls for a sound concept of stra- tegy and great personal leadership. These qualifications are possessed by my Senator to an unexcelled degree.

FAMOUS RECONTEUR

I have known him as a friendly and tolerant man of great ability. But personal exper- fence with Senator Barkley in the legislative crisis on price control this summer afforded me my first real opportunity to obtain first hand knowledge of his great capa- city as a legislator, as lawyer and as a leader.
 I was called to the White House wisen Senator Barkley and his as sociates of the Democratic leader ship urged President Truman to ap- prove the first price control bill. In earnest tones, Senator Barkley insisted that the President sign the bill. The President was obvious ly reluctant not to follow the ad- vice of his party leaders. Upon an alysis of the first bills provisions, however. the President concluded he could not approve it and with great courage he exercised his con- stitutional right of veto Thus four and one-half months of a bitter

BARKLEY PRESSED CONGRESS

The 79th Congress did not ac- complish all that everyone hoped or expected Much of President Truman's program was not enacted into law There were compromises and adjustments that, depending upon ones point of view, were sat- isfactory. Certainly I was not sat- isfied with the ultimate decision on price control But most of these deficiencies relate to tranSitory lS- sues which perhaps are not too important as measured by time.
 On the basic challenge of the day, the 79th Congress, in my judgment, did measure up. It for ever sealed, I hope, any doubts that the United States will not fully dis charge it's world obligations in this atomic age Further, it gave to the world a ringing example of a re- presentative government function ing for a free people while other systems were fumbling and strug- gling for stability. For these fun damental achievements Senator Barkley, in my view, had major responsibility.
 It is well known that Senator Barkley's hero is Woodrow Wilson. These two figures have much in common in their philosophy of government and concept of public responsibility. The kind of endur- ing liberalism espoused by Wilson and championed and made effec- tive by Barkley in this generation is the course where lies the great est hope for America. Indeed the New Deal of Roosevelt of which Senator Barkley was one of the principal legislative architects was, I suspect, in the Senator's view merely timely evolution of Will sonian ideals.

Tn Henry Clay we have an Am erican of a most authentic pat tern. There was no man of his generation who represented more of America than he did. The singu- lar, almost irresistible attraction he had for men of every class and every temperament came, not from the arts of the politician, but from the instant sympathy established between him and every fellow countryman of his"
 Some future historian cannot but apply Wilson's description of Clay to Senator Barkley. The char acterization is too strikingly similar to go unnoticed.
 Wilson's influence on Senator Barkley obviously has been pro- found. Although I have no way of knowing, I suspect that when the majority leader is harassed and troubled, he turns to Wilson's writ ings for comfort and solace. h. deed Barkley's public utteranceS are usually favored with the digni- ty and sweep of Wilsonian essay. And I have seen no better state ment of what I know to be Sen- ator Barkley's political philosophy than this excerpt of Wilson's great address at the dedication of Con- gress Hall in Philadelphia in 1913:
 Politics, ladies and gentlemen, is made up in just about equal parts of compensation and sym pathy. No man ought to go into politics who does not comprehend the task that he is going to attack. He may comprehend it so complete ly that it daunts him, that he doubts whether his own spirit is stout enough and his own mind able enough to attempt it's great undertakings, but unless he com prehends it he ought not to enter it. After he has comprehended it, there should come into his mind those profound impulses of sym pathy which connect him with the rest of mankind, for politics is business of interpretation, and no men are fit for it who do not see and seek more than their own ad- vantage and interest"

BARKLEY BACKED OPA

Senator Barkley again shouldered the burden A lesser man would have baked. With consummate pa tience and skill, he guided a new measure through committe e e, through the Senate and out of conference. During sweltering Wash ington weather, he worked with the Senate committee day and night and would take to his Washington home a full briefcase and work some more.
 At one midnight session of the Senate, Senator Barkley arose to explain a highly complex pricing standard in the bill. His extempor- aneous exposition read with such smoothness and precision in the Congressional Record that OPA lawyers expressed amazement as to how Senator Barkley had found the time to master an intricate subject in such technical detail.

This episode is but one of many in the experience of the majority leader of the Senate. But it illus trates a measure of the mans greatness.

 results add up to the fact that Senator Barkley is one of the most
