What has become of the joint congress
sional committee that is supposed to be in
vestigating the cause and cure of high prices?
More than a month ago the committee
started out, amid considerable fanfare, to
hold hearings in various cities.
The committee group headed by Senator
Ralph E.. Flanders Or. Vt.) captured a few
newspaper headlines in New York City and
other places, and at one time Senator Fland-
ers was led to observe that he planned to get
to the bottom of who is responsible for high
prices. 1t was even intimated that before
it was over he would name names.
Since then Flanders group has been all
but forgotten. 1t was last heard from in
Richmond, Va, but the newspaper item we
saw was tucked away in the inside pages and
merely noted that the committee was as much
at sea as ever.
We wonder if the present soft-pedaling
tactics of the Committee isn't due chiefly to
one thing: The Congressman are beginning to
learn that the. blame for high prices comes
pretty close home.
Now that Herbert Hoover's working in
Washington again, there's only one thing
missing to bring back the good old days."

A Law Full of Venom

The late Judge Joseph A. Padway, warn
ing a labor meeting a few weeks ago that
the Taft-Hartley act was loaded with vicious
provisions, many of WHICH did not meet the
eye on first reading, was s~ubstantiated in
California last week by an NLRB examiner
investigating an employers charges that
Union pickets were committing violations.
This is what the examiner stated quite
plainly:
If a picket calls a strike-breaker a bad
name, if he uses profanity, that's a violation
If the strike-breaker curses the pickets, how
ever, there's no law against that. If the picket
calls a strike-breaker a 'scab', that, too,
may be a violation. If the strike-breakers
throw stones and clubs out Of windows at
strikers on the picket line, it's all right, but
strikers must not throw anything.
This is just a sample. Many other vicious
provisions which give the employer all Of the

advantage in disputes. will come to light as
we gain experience with the Taft act.
What are we going to do about it? That
remains to be seen. We cannot do anything,
except go to court, until the next election.
Then. perhaps. if WI register and vote, we
may be able to defeat some of the reactlonary
stooges of the National Association of Manu-
facturers who voted for the act. Even this
will not be accomplished without a great deal
of good organization work. 1t isn't going to
be a cinch.
The new American Federation of Labor
organization, Labor's Educational and Polit-
zeal League, if adequately financed and If
given the right leadership, can be of trench
dous value in the coming fight.

 Dust-laden winds, ranging in velocity to a reported 65 miles an hour, swept over southeastern Washington and part of Oregon late yesterday, leveling trees and utility poles, unroofing buildings and shattering hundreds of acres of ripened wheat.
 The storm, brief in duration, but overwhelming in its intensity, ex- tended from Pendleton. Ore, to Spokane and westward over a vast section of eastern Washing ton.
 No casualties or injuries were reported, but property damage ran high.
 Walla Wall county was among the hardest hit. Grain men estim- ated a possible 5000 acres of wheat were shattered by dust needles.

 Presidential secretary Charles G. Ross said this was decided at a meeting of MT. Truman with his cabinet. He said the concensus of the meeting was that there has been "a tendency to exaggerate the importance of the coal settle ment on the overall wage picture. !"

 He made his views known in an interview after the House sent to MT. Truman a bill placing the speaker next in line for the Pres idency in case of vacancies in the offices of both President and Vice President.
 Since there presently is no vice. president, Mir. Truman's signature on the new legislation which he himself requested automatically would make Martin "next in line"
