Don't Feel Too coekY

CHICAGO, III. GPA)-Just
in case you're feeling too
pleased with the American way
of education, remember that
there are 100000 children be-
tween and Is years old who
aren't in school. About one out
of every four kids has a teacher
whose salary is less than $1,000
a year. Half the youths of high
intelligence have to leave school
before they reach the college
level. DR.. John X. Norton of Co
lumbia University reminded a
meeting of school administrators
here of these unpleasant, facts,
and urged higher federal and
local expenditures for educa-
ton.

Plans for a cooperative wood
work plant, to be organized by
the AFL Cabinet & Millmen's
Union Local 1865, are being dis
cussed here. Government aid in
organizing the enterprise may

Professor BIames Papers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (LPA)-
If newspapers and other opin-

kill rumors as soon as they come
out in the open, there could be
no race riots, DR.. Gordon w.
Allport of Harvard University
told the Institute of Race Rela-
tions at Fisk University last
week. He said: During times of
crisis, public strain and racial
tension, riots could be controlled
if the rumors which produce
them could be spotted quickly"

Consumers Strike
Grows In Revolt

WASHINGTON, July IL -
(LPA) - From all over the
country, the same sound advice
was being passed out to scared
consumers: don't buy what you
don't need - and organize to
keep prices down!
Formation of price patrols"
to check on pirate prices, and
organization of the patrols on a
COMMUNICATIVE basis under
the name of "Citizens Price
Defense" was proposed by a
group of 25 national organiza-
tions meeting at the call of the
Natl Emergency Committee for
Price Control here.
In Chicago, the T e n n S
League of America, headed by
a professor of rent law at
Northwestern University an
nounced: "We shall demand a
Jury trial in every case" where
tenants are threatened with
eviction for refusing to pay
higher rents. The number of
harassed tenants who have
flooded our phone lines alone is
sufficient to occupy the courts
and all available jurors for
many, many months to come, "
they said.
Governor Frank j. Lausche of
Ohio called on consumers to
declare a buyers strike on all
but essential purchases. The
200, 900 members of the Veterans
of Foreign Wars in Pennsylvania
Threatened to call a buyers
strike unless rent and price con-
trolls are maintained. A similar
drive is being mapped by the
New York City Consumers
Council. All of this is in addi-
ton to the proposal of the Unit
ed Auto Workers -CIO, the ma
tion's largest CIO union, for q
buyers strike.

AFL. cIo Fight
An%i-Lobor Laws

BATON ROUGE, La, July IL
- HPA) - In the face of the
worst flood of snti-labor legisla-
ton that has struck any state
this year. the CIO, AFL, Rail
road Brotherhoods and inde-
pendent unions joined forces -
for the first time in Louisiana
history - to beat down an or
ganized threat to the very exist
ence of unionism in this state.
The Louisiana Labor Com
mittee, composed of represent
stives of all major union groups
in the state, was organized 70
defeat Little Case Bill" an
anti-closed shop measure, ana
notifications of the unemploy-
ment compensation and female
labor laws.
The anti-closed shop bill,
patterned after the vicious
Florida Right-To-Work Law, is
backed by the unlon-oustlns
"Christian-Americans" and the
most reactionary business in
terests not only of Louisiana but
of the entire south. The measure
was passed by both houses OF
the legislature and was sent to
Gov. James H. Davis for sigma
ture.
Pushing the anti-labor legisla-
ton is the newly formed Louisi-
ana Citizens Committee headed
by John u. Barr, Louisiana in
dustrialist, who has called for
war on both the CIO and AFL
southern organizing drives. Barr,
who spearheaded the Byrd For
President" campaign in 1914, is
attempting to arouse a hate
campaign against the "inva-
sion" of Louisiana by outside
union organizers.

Union Leaders
To Fight Prices

WASHINGTON, July IL (LPA)
- Pledges to continue the bat
tie to keep prices down - both
through pressure on Congress,
and through use of consumer
buying power - grew stronger
in the week following President
Truman's veto of the Price Con-
troll Act. Here are a few of the
reactions.
CIO President Philip Murray:
'I'm sure that his (Truman's)
action will have a salutary eff
feet and a stabilizing influence
in this period of great stress"
AFL President William Green
in telegram to all Senator's: II
appeal to you and all members
of the Senate to act favorably on
price control legislation as
quickly as possible. The spiral of
initiation is mounting. The cost
of living is ascending because
rent and price controls over
commodities which seriously af-
feet cost of living have been
abolished. Labor unrest, dis
content and perhaps strikes will
take place throughout the ma
tion in event prices continue to
mount. The remedy for this lies
with Congress. -.
Reuther Joins Fight
United Auto Workers CIO
President Walter p. Reuther: II
shall recommend to the COM
mittee that we ask all our men,
bers and all consumers to pur-
chase only their minimum re-
quirements of groceries and
milk until price control is re-
instated.. :, Resistance to rent
increases by tenants continuing
to pay only their regular rent
without paying any increases
which may be added: and UAW
assistance in the formation of
tenants leagues to enforce such
resistance -. The American
people now demand an admin
strative overhauling of OPA to
guarantee genuine price control,
as we'll as re-enactment of the
law"
Daniel J. Tobin, President,
United Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters & Joiners-AFL: prices
will run wild :. there will be a
flood of strikes. ..... The situation
is dangerous. It's dynamite"
Nathan E. Cowan, CIO Legis-
Ilative Director: Every price
increase, every rent increase
and eviction must be fought
locally and brought to the at
tenion of Congress"

Union-Bus+ing
Group BockfreS

TAMPA, Fla. (LPA)-Attor-
ney General Tom Watson's cam
paign to smash unions in Florida
is kicking back in his face.
Watson recently imported the
notorious Veterans Industrial
Association, which was organ
lied first in Arkansas as a strike
breaking front for anti-union
employers.
He induced James T. Ksran,
the national head of the VIA to
set up a Florida unit for the pur-
pose of fighting the closed
shop" A little later Karan an
nounced that his followers would
"use strongarm methods, if nee
essary" to break closed shop"
and smash strikes.
Karan's threat of violence
brought a split in the Florida
branch. It's president, w. Kenneth
Miller, Orlando architect, resign
ed, as did other local officers.
They repudiated Karan's talk of
terrorism and strikebreaking.
Watson backed up Karan and
announced he would install his
own men to replace those who
quit. Miller quoted Watson as
saying: "The VIA is my baby and
1 intend to run it through my
office, by fair means or foul.
However, the rumpus brought
a sharp split in the ranks of the
organization and Watson was
left with little more than a shell
of the VIA to carry on his war
against labor.
Meanwhile, Florida's big daily
newspapers have been getting
fed up with Watson's tactics, too
The powerful Tampa Daily
Times editorially denounced the
attorney general. 1t pointed out
that "management-labor harmo-
ny in Florida was exceptionally
outstanding" until Watson two
years ago put over an anti-closed
shop amendment to the state
constitution-which, incidently,
is being challenged in the courts.
"The confusion and pickering
since then has been dangerous
to the industrial growth of the
state" the Times declared Mat
ters have been made worse, the
Times added, by Watson's i'm
portation of the VIA for terroris-
tic purposes.
There is nothing new, except
n a mes, bout organizations
which would break unions and
strikes" the paper pointed out.
"Strongarm squads often have
been employed in many areas of
the United States in an attempt
to prevent the organization of
labor unions.
Rather than retard unionism
they have only increased the
determination of the working
man to protect himself.
There will be nothing but
strife greater industrial unrest.
and perhaps bloodshed, II groups
seek to take the law into their
own hands and strongarm their
way.
Also, veterans, should be
CAREFUL about joining any organ
ization which may have hate
strongarm tactics as part and
parcel of its philosophy.

not be present, for the pallor or
palcneSS that is seen may come

a physician can quite easily dI-

simple examination of the blood.
There are three main groups
OF anemia. One group is due
