New York (FP) - The phony

counter dose in. a United Auto
Workers sponsored color cartoon
just bought by the War Depart
ment for reorientation purposes in
former enemy nations.

Lorentz said, ''that this important
American trade union showed
great vision in making a film so

EYES," was Balls answer again
The only exception, he went on
would be a case where an EN-
ployer was guilty of unfair labor
practices, but if workers walked
out over a proposed pay cut, they'C
have to come back on the EN-
ployer's terms or lose their rights
under the Wagner act.
A specific prohibition is writer
into the Ball bill to bar profession
al workers from the common unit
in closed shop. Ball said this
would cover principally doctors
lawyers, engineers and technical
specialists.
Another new wrinkle in the Ball
bill transfers the legal division of
the NLRB to the Department of
Justice under special assistant to
the attorney general. This division
would handle all complaints and in
vestigations for the NLRB.
Under free speech for employ
ers, Ball provides that any oral or
written statement by the boss will
be all right as long as no threat
of reprisal or promise Of reward
is involved.
Under a union contract, Ball
would permit any individual work
er to negotiate separately with the
employer if he desired and make a
settlement as long as it did not
violate the terms Of the contract.
And if an election had been held,
an individual or group of individ-
uals felt the result was unfair,
they could go into federal court for
review.
Ball would specifically prohibit
any strike to compel the employer
to bargain with a union or strike
in situations where the remedy is
offered in his bill. Violations of
this proviso would permit the en-
ployer to seek injunctions despite
the Clayton or Norris-LaGuardia
anti-injunction act.
"This bill wouldn't prohibit
Strikes" Ball went on. at would
just make them as risky as before
the Wagner act. Today there's no
way for an employer to beat
strike. You have the employer over
the barrel. This bill gives the en-
ployer "A reasonable chance to or
ganize a back-to-work movement"
Ball said his bill would prohibit
the Northumberland of inde-
pendent unions and require that
craft unions be given a separate
election rather than be included in
an overall bargaining unit.

Big League Park
Workers Secure
Union Shop. Raise

Washington (FP)-When Harry
S. Truman, the Missouri southpaw
pitches out the first ball at Grif-
fifth Stadium to open the 1947 big
league season this April, he will
perform in a 100 percent union
maintained park.
Local 80, Building Service En-
ployees announced Jan. 21 it had
signed a contract with President
Clark Griffith of the Washington
American League club bringing
union shop and a 81 per game raise
in wages for AZ gatemen, stile
turner's, ticket takers and exchang-
ers, guards and washrom attend
ants. The raise brings the per
game wage to 1886 range, with
a $3.50 rate for double headers.
The workers also won seniority
in layoffs and in rehiring, and free
uniforms and raincoats as re-
quired.
A previous contract already in
effect covers the cleaners and
groundkeepers working at Grit

San Francisco AFL
Fights Anti-LabOr Moves

San Francisco (FP)-An over

Central Labor Council planned an
intensive fight against antilabor
bills swamping Congress.
First action by delegates was un-
animous approval of a resolution
by Local 265, international Broth
erhood of Transfers, asking 152
local unions to wire or write Cali
fornia congressman at once urging
a No vote on all antilabor bills.
The council also planned partici-
patton in a statewide fight against
antilabor injunctions after noting
the threat to all unions in the in
functions and conspiracy charges
leveled against the Conference of
Studio Unions in Los Angeles.

Attacks Fundamental Labor Righfs

merely prohibits coersion by any
means in certain situations, and
picketing is just one means of
coercion.
"Picketing," said the brief, "may
be not merely a means to persuade.
1t may constitute an actual threat
and use of force. The first amend
ment does not protect speech which
amounts to coercion designed to
achieve an object which Congress
has declared to be unlawful" In
other words, the court need not
bother ruling on the legality of
Congress- objective.
How the act can be used as an
entering wedge to curb labor in
other industries is indicated by the
Justice Department argument that
"the radio industry is sufficiently
unique to be subject to special
regulation in many of it's aspects"
and therefore the act does not dis
criminate, against radio workers in
denying them rights possessed by
workers in other fields. Radio, they
maintain, is a special case.

Labor Education
Service Set Up
Bv SchWeHenbuch

Washington (FP)-As one result
of studies to improve and broaden
the U. S. Department of Labor,
Secretary Lewis Schwellenbach has
set up labor education service.
Heading up this new unit is
Arthur A. Elder, president of the
Michigan Teachers Federation and
for the last three years director of
the University of Michigan's work
ers' education service. He will con-
tinue his work with the university.
The new bureau will offer per-
sonal consultive service to any
union, university, labor school or
civic group to develop a labor
education program, serve as a
clearing house on labor education
matters, and prepare and distri-
butte lesson plans and pamphlets
containing study material.
Overall work of the new service
is guided by 10-man advisory
committee, five from the AFL, five
from the CIO. This committee was
named last spring. The AFL mem
bers are Director of Research
Florence G. Thorne; Director of
Organization Frank Fenton; Direc-
tor of Social Insurance Activities
Nelson II. Cruikshank; Research
Director Marion Hedges, Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers and Secretary Treasurer
James Brownlow, Metal Trades

Washington (FP) - The extent
to which a case upholding the So
called anti-Petrillo act must at
tack the fundamental rights of
unions was made clear in Justice
Department brief filed with the
u. S. supreme court.
The government brief sought
reversal of Dec. 2 ruling by the
U. S. district court in Chicago
which declared the Lea act uncon-
stitutional. The act was passed by
Congress last April specifically to
outlaw the standby rules of the
American Federation of Musicians
as enforced for years by AIM
President James c. Petrillo.
Petrillo last fall forced a test
case which led to his Indictment
and subsequent Chicago decision.
Arguing against the Chicago
court ruling, the Justice Depart
ment said a mans right to strike
"does not mean he has an absolute
right to agree with others to re-
frain from working for a particu-
lar employer with the avowed pur-
pose of requiring the same employ
er to employ him under different
conditions" The Lea act, they con-
tended properly curbs the right to
strike and to get others to do the
same.
The Justice Department also
maintained that the Lea acts pro-
hibition against coercion in the
broadcasting industry is not so in
definite as the definitions of other
offenses in laws already upheld by
the supreme court. Besides, the
brief went on, the law only covers
wilful violators and Petrillo, they
claim, is in that class.
Another Justice Department
was that the act does
not prohibit picketing as such, it

KILL POLL TAX
TO PREVENT
MORE BILBOS

Washington (FP)-Even if Sen
ator Theodore Bilbo is permanently
banished from the Senate the sys-
TEN which put him there originally
will continue unless Congress ends
the polltax, DR.. Clark Foreman,
president of the Southern Confer
ence for Human Welfare said re-
Gently.
He said six bills to abolish poll
tax have been introduced in the
House and one in the Senate. One
of the House bills bears the same
number, HR. Z, under which it
carried the lower chamber twice,
only to meet a filibuster threat in
the Senate and die there.
Three million Negro citizens
and seven million white citizens
lost their votes last year because
of the poll tax" Foreman said,
pledging the SCHW to continued
efforts to push the legislation
through Congress. He pointed out
that the poll tax combined with,
intimidation resulted in Bilbo's
being put into office by less than
9 per cent Of Mississippis poten-
tial voters.
"lf you live in Mississippi" he
said, "and wish to vote in the l94S
Presidential and congressional
primary elections, you must pay
your poll tax this month. In Ala
bama and Texas you must pay the
tax before Feb. | to vote in any
of the l947 contests" And in Ala
bama, he added, the tax is retro
active, meaning that a man voting
for the first time at the age of As
must pay tax Of $36-$l.50 for
every year since he was 2l.
Foreman urged all residents of
the seven remaining poll tax states
to acquaint themselves with their
states poll tax requirements Ito
guard against Northumberland
in the very crucial coming cleo
tions."

New York Unions
Get Unity Appeal

Jamestown, n. Y. (FP) - The
Labor Legislative Conference,
which links AFL, CIO and indie
pendent unions in this area, has
sent an appeal for united action to
every AFL and CIO central body
i'm New York state.
The appeal came on the heels of
an announcement from Chicago
that an all-Chicago Labor Commit
tee, representing the AFL, CIO
and railroad brotherhoods, had
been formed to combat antilabor
legislation.
The jamestown message, sent as
follow-up to President Philip
Murray's recent plea for a point
conference of AFL, CIO and rail
union leaders, stressed the need
for concerted labor action to de-
feat the antilabor bills now pend
ing before the Senate and the
House of Representatives.

knufson Tax Bill
Gives COP Black
Eye. Says EngeI

Washington (FP) - A vigorous
blast on the House floor from a
veteran Republican Jan. 20 indi-
Gated that Representative Harold
Knutson stirred up a hornets nest
in identifying the COP with his
bill to cut income taxes of rich
and poor alike 20 per cent during
the present session of Congress.
The protest came from Repre-
sentative Albert J. Engel who de-
nounced the Knutson bill as unfair
to low and middle income groups,
politically unwise for the Republi-
cans and not in keeping with the
traditions of the COP.
He pointed out that the man
earning the average weekly wage
in manufacturing, about $48, would
still pay $187.20 a year under the
Knutson Proposal, having saved
but IL cents week by the Knut-
son tax bill. And the jump in liv-
ing costs, Eengel said, means this
worker could have bought the same
living in 1889 with a net income
of $1,613, compared to his 1947
income of $1,000.
Treasury Department figures,
Engel continued, show that in 1914
there were about So million in
dividual with incomes of $2,5O0 or
under, who with their dependents
make up the majority of the ma
ton.
He blasted the notion that the
low-income worker should be tax
ed "to make him tax conscious. In
many cases he pays a sales tax on
everything he buys. Every time he
pays rent he is paying the taxes
on the house or room he rents.
Everytime he goes to the theater
he pays tax. In fact every time
he turns around he pays some kind
of tax. If he isn't tax conscious
now, Withholding tax of 10 cents
or 20 cents a week will make him
So"
He said labor was on a sound
footing in basing its demand for
increased wages on the increased
cost of living, adding that the in
come tax ground for the low-in-
come worker to bring about labor
strife in his effort to obtain a bet
ter wage.
at is my contention" Engel
said, "that the Knutson bill is
radical departure from what has
been the Republican policy in
the past. If the bill is passed it
will place into the hand of the
Democratic party the most effec-
tive campaign argument any party
can have-an argument which will
appeal to 86 million people in the
low-income group. 1t may spell de-
feat for the Republican party in
1948."

Washington (FP) - Crime evil
IDENTIFY is a paying proposition for
the tin can kings, according to a
Jan. 81 Justice Department an
nouncement that American Can
Co. and Continental Can Co., along
with seven officials, have settled
for $4,000 maximum fines rather
than contest charges of violating
the antitrust laws.
The fines together total $54,-
coo, a paltry amount compared to
the annual business of the two
firms, which in 1914 amounted to
$285, 100000.
Enforcement of the laws result
ing in lower can prices could reduce
the cost of canned foods, according
to Attorney General Tom Clark
