COP-Controlled Congress Axes
 US Labor Dept.
Budget Cuts Remove Many Vital Services In Blow
 At Unions
FEB. l947

Washington (LPA)-The Re publican Party has struck back against labor with a vengeance in Congress.
 The House Appropriations Com. naittee, Republican. controlled, did a complete hatchet-job on the La bor Dept, the Federal Security Ad. ministration and other government agencies that deal with matters of concern to labor.
 If the recommendations of this com n1ittee are carried out by the House of Representatives and supported by the Senate, practically every govern ment agency that deals with labor problems will find its work at least seriously handicapped. In the case of the Consolidation Service, which re- ceived the most brutal treatment of all, the work of the agency will be crippled.
 The House Appropriations Com mittee has recommended that the budget of the Consolidation Service be cut by about 25 %. However, as part of this cut, it has specifically abolished 1Ol key jobs. The result is to leave the service without lead ership and direction.
 Hit by the cut was the newly set up technical branch of the service. This is the branch that makes wage anal yses and time studies at the request of union and management representa- tives who are involved i'll disputes in technical determinations. At least 40@o of the work of this branch will be eliminated.
 Other Labor Dept cuts, recom- mended by the Appropriation Com mittee. included cut of 4O9o in the budget of the Bureau of Labor Standards, 25@o in the budget of the Wage and Hours Division, and a cut of 8O@o in the budget of the US. Employment Service for the service of nOn-veterans the money to be spent in serving veterans was not cut.
 The Division of Labor Standards, newest of the divisions of the Labor Dept, was eliminated entirely. Cuts in other agencies included $61 100000 from the request of the Federal Se- curity Administration. This is the agency that administers the Social Se- curity program, the Aid to Dependent Children, and long list of other functions about which labor is concerned.

COP. Prodded On Anti-PoIl Tax Bill

WASHINGTON (FP)-Repub- lican House leaders should see that a bill to outlaw the poll tax is reported out of committee and brought to the floor without being forced out by dis charge petition, the National Commit tee to Abolish the Poll Tax wrote Rep. Ralph Gamble, (R, N.Y.) this week.
 As head of the elections subcom- mittee of the Committee on House Ad- ministration, Gamble can move any oi the anti-poll tax bills through. Three months of inaction have brought Rep Vito Marcantonio (ALP. ND to file discharge petition No. ?, which would force his anti-poll tax bill HR. 7, to the floor.
 Should we inform the public that this is the method by which an anti poll tax bill must come before the House in the Both Congress?" the group wrote Gamble. we have beer assured that the House majority lead ership backs anti-po1l tax legislation and that a discharge petition would not be necessary to get it to the floor"
 The House has previously passed anti-po11 tax bills with COP mem bers voting overwhelmingly in favor but they have died in the Senate.

If You re Paying Rent, Maybe You Should Read This
Rent Control Bill Depends On What Action You
 Take And When!

Brothers and sisters, if you rent the place you are now living m keen on reading. This column will give you a few straight-from-the- committee-roOm-facts on what has been happening in Washington to your next years rent and what you can do about it.
 A bunch of men from Delaware, Michigan, Wisconsin and a couple dozen other states have been spend ing plenty of time figuring out what rent you are going to pay during the next year, but they as much as admit they need some advice They can't figure out your rent without your help.
 The Senate banking committee spent exactly two months in hear ings, subcommittee meetings and full committee sessions before it reported out bill which would ex- tend the rent control act another eight months, after it expires on June 30, l947.
 Bearing the name of Sen. C. Doug las Buck (R., Del), the bill would put rent control in the hands of the US. housing expediter, a nice-enough fellow named Frank R. Creedon, in Washington. OPA is through as price and rent boss.
 REFRESHMENTS"
 But the bill also says that state go- vernors are to nominate list of Ere presentative citizens" in each of the 600 rent control areas in the country, from which list Creedon is to select a rent advisory committee. This group of citizens will have the power to recommend a general rent boost in the area, usually a city or county ln size, or complete end of rent control there. Their recommendations take effect in 30 days unless Creedon says no, and he won't do that this year.
 Think about what sort of "repre- sentative citizens" your own governor would select, fellow tenants, and then judge the Buck bil1 And get this the bill also provides that the gover- nor can kill all federal control in his state simply by telling Creedon that the situation, in his judgment, is well in hand.
 Look out, New Haven, Bridge port, Hartford, and Waterbury!
 This Buck bill was approved unan- imously by 10 senators, showing that it satisfied a DuPont banker like Buck, while it fooled some of the more progressive men on the committee. The group few weeks before had thrown back to Bucks subcommittee different Buck bill which would have raised rent ceilings 1Oqo It was too much for the people to take with out a loud squawk, they thought After all, next year is 1o48, and no- body wants to be known as a. high rent man.
 The House banking committee is headed by Rep. Jesse Wolcott (R. Mich.), the fellow who tried to see that every wholesaler and retailer got his cut out of the American consumer last spring when price control was being amended to death. He held his group back fol weeks on a rent bill, waiting for the

Opinion Polls
 Against Labor,
 Survey Shows
Princeton Professor Says Gallup And Others Slant
 Query Questions

PRINCETON, N. J-Organized labor would be wise to conduct public opinion research for its own purposes because the other polls are weighted with anti-labor bias.
 That was the suggestion of Co., 1umbia University professor who re- gently completed study of the polls and concluded "the odds run strongly against labor"
 Dr. Arthur KOrnhauser, mem Der of CoIumbia's Bureau of Ap- piled Research, found the Gallup Poll was the guiltiest. He also scrutinized the Elmo Roper For tune Survey, Opinion Research Corporation, National Opinion Re- search Center, the Minnehota Poll and Iowa Poll.
 He examined all labor queries asked by the seven opinion samplers from 194O to 1945 and found that of 155 questions only eight dealt with positive or favorable aspects of unions. Sixty six were neutral or doubtful and 81 concerned union faults, activities the public condemns or proposed union restrictions.
 Gallup Three-Fourths Biased
 He learned three-fourths of the Gal lup questions and one-third of the other polls queries were guilty of directing public attention consistently to the negative side of organized la bor."
 Dr. Kornhauser also unearthed -four disturbing types of bias" in the wording of questions.
 The first offers choice between a recognized evil and one particular proposed remedy, ''nearly always one opposed by labor." For ex- ample, during the war Gallup Poll asked: "Should Congress pass law forbidding strikes in war industries until the war is over, or should the workers in war industries continue to have the right to go on strike ?"
 He pointed out large majority voted for a law, when actually they were voting against wartime strikes and probably would have been equal ly favorable to another alternative such as War Labor Board action.
 Questions Have Traps
 He said traps are created by hidden assumptions and over -simp1ifications. He cited this question by the Psy- chological Corporation: Do you think that workers should be forced to stay in a union if they want to resign or get out?"
 Naturally the vote is resound- ingly against forcing workers to remain in a union against their will," he asserted. s'But the ques-

Industry Profits Not Affected By Paper Shortage
Newsprint Squeezed Contiues In Full Force Against
 Labor Press

New York (LPA)-The newsprnit squeeze continued in full force on la Dor papers and other smaller publica- tions last week as the $6-a-ton price increase spread quickly to seven Cana dian newsprint manufacturers.
 Reports of black market deals with newsprint selling for $2OO-a- ton and higher, continued in trade circles even though the SC price hike presumably brought the basic price to US. publications to $9O-a- ton.
 Newsprint manufacturers showed unprecedented profit figures. Typical was the huge International Paper Co. which reported that its all-time record net profits for 1946 were $25,216,978 as against $17,947,014 in 1945. Total sales were $287, ,867 ,668 compared with $234,245,619 the previous year.

AFL Teachers Register 72 New Local Chapters
Union Expects To Pass 100 Mark Before The End
 Of June

Widespread gains throughout the Nation in establishment of local teachers unions, was announced here by Irwin R. Kuenzli, National Secretary-Treasurer of the Ameri- can Federation of Teachers (AFL).
 Despite strong opposition from many quarters it was revealed 72 new locals already have been granted AFL chart CTS in the current school year and in dications are that the number of new units will pass the 100 mark before the end of June.
 Commenting on the rapid expansion of the AFL teachers organization, MT. Kuenz1i asserted:
 GREATEST PROGRESS

MT.
