SEN. MORSE CHARGES
NEWcPR|NT MONOPOLY
ENDANGERs WEEKL|ES

Washington (LPA) - Unless a
cheaper supply of newsprint is sup
piled, "a very large number of
weekly and semi-weekly newspap-
ers in this country will have to
cease pnblication within a r.
month period" Sen. Wayne Morse
(R., Ore.) warned Congress last
week.
Condemning the recently an
ounced S6-a-ton hike in newsprint
prices as Outrageous" and "hold-
up price," Morse charged that
1most Of the large newspapers OF
the country are being caught in a
squeeze play by the suppliers of
newsprint owned by paper-pulp in
terests in Canada and other coun-
tries. This latest increase in price
of $6-a-ton is a profiteering charge
based upon the economic helpless
ness of American newspapers be-
cause we have not had the fore
sight to develop our American Alas
kan newsprint resources"
Morse emphasized the point that
labor editors have made frequently
during the last two years and in
Congressional testimony-that the
newsprint shortage and the price
increase will have their worst ef-
feet on smaller publications such as
union, religious and fraternal pap
ers.
Despite reports of record produc-
tion by Canadian mills, the short
age is still so acute that Editor q
Publisher, trade publication of The
newspaper industry, reported last
week that a Flint, Mich, paper,
the Flint Journal, had to import
800 tons Of newsprint from France.
Morse contended that 1.-THE fact
is that the supply of newsprint in
America is so short that cur news
papers are in reality confronted
with a monopoly in regard to news
print insofar as importations are
concerned" More than 85 per cent
Of newsprint used in the U. S. is
imported.

FREE LABOR ENJOYING
HIGH LIVING STANDARDS
A. F. |. STUDY INDICATES

Washington (LPA) = Living
standards of workers in the u. S.
under "real democracy and free en-
terprise" are infinitely higher than
they are in the Soviet Union under
the Communist dictatorship" This
is the conclusion of a study by the
AFL research department, publish
ed in the current issue of Labor's
Monthly Survey.
Butter seems high in USA when
it takes three-quarters of an hours
work to buy a pound" the AFL
points out, "but the worker in
USSR must work 12h hours to buy
a pound of butter +. If worker
wants more meat, milk, or sugar
than his ration allows, he just buys
it on the open market or in com
merciaP store where it will cost

Knut Olson from Norway who
fought in the resistance move
ment against the Germans during
the war.
The praise for the Revue and
the message it was getting across
to the audience was evidenced by
their comments. A stake hand in
the theatre said: "a lot of shows
have come to this place, but this
one is different. 1t does something
to you. If | didn't have wife and
two kids, I'd travel with you."...
A union officer remarked: 81 paid
7 bucks to see Oklahoma, but this
beats it. You've got color, music,
fun and something more, the thing
our union is fighting for"
A Broadway producer remarked:
81 see what it is. 1t isn't acting;
it's living the message you want
to get across to the audience" A
high school principal who asked
for all extra tickets for his stu
dents commented: "The biggest ed
ucation / can give those kids is for
them to see the Revue"
Wickham told the audience that
from his experience of % years
as Labor Party organizer he OBJ
served that "when Moral Re-Arm-
ament comes in, Communism goes
out, not because it is anti-Commu-
mist, but because this force gives
Democracy the Spiritual Atomic
energy which will inspire and set
millions on the march for remaking
the world"
"The Good Road" is scheduled
for performances this month in
Ottawa, Washington, d.
G., and Virginia.

Marshall Plan And Good Will Not Enough

New York, N. Y.,-"The Mar
shall Plan and the abundant good
will of the American people is not
enough to win the theological wal
which is at the heart of Europe's
problems" said Harry Wickham,
organizer for the Labor Party rep
resenting 81 constituencies Of 7
million people in the heart of Eng
land, to a packed audience in a
Broadway Theatre in New York
City attending the national pre-
miere of the Moral Re-Armament
musical revue, "The Good Road"
Continuing, Mr.. Wickham said,
"We in Britain and Europe need
the Marshall Plan to remove the
famine of hunger, cold and disease
which stalks across the country,
but to win the death struggle be-
tween the ideologies Of Communist
materialism and that of an inspired
democracy, we need the plus force
of Moral Re-Armament." He added
that "The world is facing the
greatest moral crisis in its history,
and only the burning faith and pas
sion Of millions of men and women
inspired to fight at whatever cost
in this war can save us"
A National Committee was form
ed to rouse America behind the
program of Moral Re-Armament as
"a movement which is a must to
save freedom around the world"
More than rs leaders of labor, in
dustry, farm, members of both
Houses of Congress, Republican
and Democrat, make up it's men,
bership. On the Committee are
such leaders as William Green,
President Of the American Feder-
alton of Labor; William c. Doherty,

tervene, thus making it practically
a 100 per cent united front against
the union.
Van Arkel, who resigned as gen
eral counsel Of the NLRB after
passage of the Taft Hartley Act,
denounced this "ganging up"
against the ITU.
"There is a deliberate policy to
try and bankrupt the union by Iti-
CATION" he said. 81 think it is
very important that this harass-
ment Of the ITU by the general
counsel of the NLRB (Denham)
cooperating fully and wholeheart-
edly with every employer in the
industry, be brought to an end
sometime"
1t was revealed during the week
that Gerald Reilly, who helped
frame the Taft Hartley law while
serving as chief adviser to Sen.
Taft, is now profiting handsomely
out of the law. He's counsel for
both the Inland Daily Press Assn
and the Printing Industry of AM
erica (an organization of CONNER
cial prniters) in the Taft Hartley
Act cases against the Typos.
In Chicago, the dailies are still
putting out photo-engraved papers
in an effort to beat the ITU strike,
but Local 16, through it's own pub
lication, The Picket, revealed that
the papers are having hard time.
"The papers have been making
their appearance, but far behind
schedule and in abbreviated size,"
the local declared. an lieu of print
ers' type the publishers have de-
pended chiefly on photographically
reproduced typewriter copy. This
has been supplemented with boot
legged type brought in from out
side shops, including the notorious
Donnelley concern.
while the publishers have Gre
ated an impression that everything
is about normal in their plants, a
large amount of snafu is evident
to every newspaper reader in the
Chicago area. Subscriptions have
been cancelled by the thousands,
partly bcause of widespread SYM
pathy with the strikers and partly
because of the disgust at the APP
pearance of the papers and the
hardness with which they appear"
Local l6 made it clear that it has
not asked other unions at the news
papers to refuse to cross the Typo
picket lines, or to violate the Taft
Hartley Act in any other manner.
These unions, however, have given
considerable help to the Typos, in
Guiding cash contributions, coffee,
parkas and raincoats.
This fraternization of working en-
ployes with the strikers has been
a source of visible concern to the
publishers" Local Is declared
