Those Freedoms From Fear, Want Still Not Here
Labor Paper Says Amer jeans Don't Have Two
 Of Famed Liberties

LOS ANGELES-(FP)- )-Ameri- cans do not have two of the famed four freedoms-the freedoms from fear and from want charges the Los Angeles Citizen, the Central Labor Councils weekly newspaper.
 Congress Blamed
 Members of Congress are blamed for having denied these two freedoms from millions of persons in the U. S."
 s"FreedOm from fear could be brought nearer a realization by the immediate enactment of President Truman's health program, and the new racial security act sponsored and supported 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 a reality through enactment of the full employment bill as originally introduced, but will not be achieved by passage of the mutilated House committee version"
 Wage Bill Needed
 Passage of the minimum wage bill is also called necessary to prevent interruptions employers from taking advantage of millions of unorganized workers"

 aster Scandal

LOUISVILLE - (LPA) = En- tombed two miles underground in flaming gas-filled inferno, 24 union miners lost their lives last week in the Kentucky Straight Creek Coal Co. mine at Pineville, solely because of the callous indif- ference of the company.
 Safety conditions were described as very, very poor'' in a state mine in- spector's report on Jan %, 1o45. Nothing is being done toward safety said the report, land mine law is be- ing absolutely neglected in every re- spect." Harry Thomas, chief of the State Dept. of Mines and Minerals, who took over his present job op Nov Is, revealed that mo recommen- dation was ever made by a district mine inspector that the mine be closed until working conditions there were bettered."
 No Fire Extinguishers
 Equally appalling was the fact that Tn spite of these ominous hazards and continuous warnings, no fire fight ing equipment of any description was maintained at the mine" according to the Journal. There was no safety or ganization, no training in rescue work or first aid, no fire drills, inadequate frst-aid supplies. Recommendation of the U. s. Bureau of Mines, backed ! by four almost identical reports, wen unheeded. Within the report lies tht sordid story of why slaughter contin ues unabated in American coal mines.
 C1imaxing the tragedy was the dis closure that in its 'callousness the company refused to carry worknen'. compensation insurance which is op tional in Kentucky. As a result tn g widows and an estimated 135 chil dren are dependent on assistance iron private sources, from organization like the Red Cross and their union.

bs-FOr-AIl Bill Not Dead--Truman

Washington (LPA)-The full em- ployment bill, wrecked by coalition of southern Democrats and Republi- cans in the House, appeared dead last week but President Truman expressed hope that an acceptable" bill can still be pushed through.
 Truman, in letter to the Union For Democratic Action, said, ''I am still very hopeful that we can get an acceptable bill and l am doing all I can toward that end."
 The emasculated House bill will go to a conference meeting with a com mittee of eight Senators, five of whom have records that indicate they may support the original full employment legislation. House and Senate confer ees will meet sometime in January or February to iron out differences.

AFL Executives To Discuss Laws At Jan. q Meet
Annual Winter Conference May Take Up UNIV
 Reafiliation

MIAMI, Fla. Legislative prob lems vital to labor's interests will form the principal topics of dis cussion at the annual winter meet ing of the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor which opens here Jan. 2l.
 Another question which may come up before the meeting and which has aroused wide public interest is the possible reaffiliation of the United Mine Workers Union with the Amer ican Federation of Labor. No off cial announcement as to whether this subject will be considered has been forthcoming.
 Norton Bill
 First among the legislative issues confronting the AFL leaders is the Norton-Ellender Bill, based upon a proposal by President Truman for the authorization of fact-fnding disputes to prevent strikes and make recom- mendations for settlement after col lective bargaining has broken down
 The AFL already has come out against this bill on the ground that it infringes the right to strike and would lay unions open to penalties through court injunctions and dam- age suits.
 On the positive side, the AFL Ex- ecutive Council is expected to press Congress for adoption of full employ ment legislation, an unemployment compensation bill, minimum wage leg islation and health insurance.
 Support Likely
 Support for the efforts of affiliated unions to obtain wage increases un- questionably will be voted and a new organizing campaign undertaken.
