PAC Aide Says Clio
Can Gust Incumbents
In 155Congress Areas

The CIO has the power to change
the incumbents in 155 congressional
districts throughout the country, II
it organizes its members down
through city wards, precincts and
blocks for the 1948 elections.
This was the assertion made last
night by Palmer Weber, national re-
search director of the CIO Political
Action Committee, speaking at the
annual Labor Day dinner of the
Washington Industrial Council in
the YWCA.
During the congressional elections,
Mr.. Weber asserted, prolabor rep
resentatives were defeated in most
instances where CIO membership
Evening star., 1947-09-05

was strongest. The passage of the
Taft Hartley Act, therefore, can be
blamed on nothing more than the
fact that labor was not being active
in politics, he said.
These facts ought to make it
plain to every one of us in the CIO
that we cannot live with this act"
Mr.. Weber said. I'VE must fight it
at every turn until we destroy it."
Recently, Mr.. Weber told the 200
persons at the dinner, CIO President
Philip Murray called every staff
worker of the Steel Workers Union
into Washington and told them that
any man who did not feel he could
work in political action with the
union should resign.
Political action is the No. ! OBJ
jective of the CIO from now until
the November Q948) elections" Mr..
Weber said.
Others Speak.
The group also heard congratula-
tory speeches from representatives
of number of Washington organ
izations with whom it has worked
during the last year. Dan Schwartz,
regional director of the United
Public Workers of America, acted as
chairman of the dinner.
Guests included Wilbur Fincn,
chairman of the Central Suffrage
Conference and former president OF
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions; Beford Lawson, president of
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity; Rabbi
Solomon Metz, founder and presi-
dent of the Jewish Community
Council; Gilbert Hunter of the
social welfare department of
the Washington Federation of
Churches; Joseph Clorety, chairman

Clio Chiefs 70 Ignore
DeadIine for Filing
Anti-Red Affidavits
BY The Associotsd Press

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 5.-Ranking
CIO leaders will wait until their
October 13 convention at Boston
before any action to comply with
the Taft-Hartley labor law require
ment that union officials file non-
Communist aff1davits before Septem-
ber IS.
That fiat announcement was con-
tanned in a bitterly -worded state
ment isued by the CIO Executive
Board here yesterday after a con-
ference with CIO President Philip
Murray.
Immediate effect Of the union
leaders decision was not determined
but Robert N. Denham, general
counsel Of the NLRB, has indicated
that unless affidavits are filed by
all the Nations labor leaders before
the. deadline nearly $4,000, 900 work
ers will be denied use Of the NLRB.
Elections Held Without NLRB.
Mr.. Murray did not give any elab-
grafton of the boards decision but
at news conference after the meet
ing said that the CLOS Steelworkers
Union has held 10 elections inde-
pendent of the NLRB in the last two
weeks.
Until this announcement both the
CIO and the AFL had kept the
NLRB in the dark as to whether
the Government agency could ex-
pect to do a rushing business under
terms of the Taft-Hartley law or
none at all.
The CIO statement sharply at
tackled the new labor law:
'"The brief period that the Taft
Hartley Act has been in operation
has revealed the incalculable harm
which this vicious law has and will
continue to develop.
MANY of the CIO international
unions have already determined
their policy to be one of endeavor-
ing to settle their problems through
collective bargaining without be-
coming enmeshed in the unavoidable
machinery of the act"

.Distillers Say
Unfair
Down 2 Months
POINT OUT THAT IN SOME
COUNTRIES WHERE GRAIN
WILL BE SHIPPED DISTILI.-
ERS STILL OPERATE
tBx Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-One
hundred and fifty liquor distillers
today protested the suggestion OF
William Luckman, chairman of
the Presidents food investigat-
ing committee, that they discon-
tinue operations for two months
to save grain for shipment
abroad.
A spokesman for the distillers
said they considered it unfair to
request them to shut down when
distilleries in some of the coun-
tries where the saved grain will
be sent, are still operating.
He said further that the
American distillers already had
agreed with the Presidents re-
quest to cut down on the use of
grain. They have discontinued.
for the time being, the use of
wheat. he said, and have decreas-
led the use of other grains.
He explained that if the dis
. tilleries close down for two
months, it will throw 10000 men
I out of work.
/ The Presidents committee
said today that, in every home
| in the United States where
meat was not eaten yesterday
the saving in grain amounted to

CITY Commission
Passes Ordinance
For Street Repair
VOTE UNANIMOUSLY ON
FIRST READING; TO
USE CAR INSPECTION
AND METER MONEY

An ordinance that provides for
the use of excess money from
automobile-safety inspection and
parking meters, was passed
unanimously last night, on first
reading, by the City Commits
aioners. The measure was sug-
gested by Commissioner Loui S
Carbonell.
Carbonell told his colleagues,
in spirited plea, that he has
fought the budget all the way in
the hope that when excess mon
ey is accumulated it will be
used on the streets. He said that
the commission should spend
no more money for anything else
until the streets are repaired,
except in emergency cases. Car
bonell said "the time to repair
streets is nowi Don't put off this
crying need?"
Sam Hart, veteran commits
sion follower, pleaded in a like
vein, and also called attention to
the fact that people were not
complementary in their remarks
about the commission for not
fixing the streets. He added that
he had paid taxes for So years;
some years he had to borrow the
money to do so, but did it with
the knowledge that the money
was needed. He concluded with
the statement that the present
city administration had collected
inore money than at any other
time in the history Of Key West,
and demanded, What is being
done for the taxpayer?"
City Finance Director Charles
Roberts. taking exception to the
remarks of u, Carbonell. said
that SIS, 1000 has been provided
for the streets in this years
budget. Roberts added, I'VE
must take care of other de-
partments besides that of the
Public Service"
Total budget allowance for all
operations of the Public. Service
department is $4,000, Roberts
stated.

County Commission last night
was requested to repair the old
road leao. lg from Overseas High

of the bulldozing of 20 streets in
Grains Subdivision at Marathon.
Harold Gibson, property
owner on Grassy Key, Marathon,

Grains Subdivision. Several of
the streets are under water and
those will be touched by the bull
dozer, he said.
The commission then opened

$3.50 an hour for the use of its
bulldozer. Alonzo Cothron bid
$3.50 an hour. The TOPPING bid
was accepted.
It will take an estimated ST.

Lee Bradford of the Key West
Farm Land Company, which
owns tract on Key Largo, said
the old road north of the Over

the cost of the work would be
upwards of $4,000.
! Commissioner w. A. Parrish,

there was some question as to
whether the old road was state

Laws Also, City Attorney
Lester Tells Commission
I'm Session Last Night

|, After reading an ordinance to
spend $500 to beautify a 200-foot
dock area of the Standard Oil
company, which the latter COM
Ipany would allow the Key West
Charter Boat Association to
use, Commissioner Louis Car
bonell arose and stated that the
request was in direct violation
|of Section 4 of the City Charter,
which disallows the granting OF
money to private enterprises.
| Carbonell. opposing the meas
lure on the basis that the expen-
Edlture would be illegal, asked
City Attorney Lester to clarity
the provisions of Section 4.
Lester said that to spend city
money on private property not
only is in violation OF. the City
Charter, but also in direct OPP
position to the State of Florida
Statutes.
Commissioner John Carbonell
asked, eff this contemplated
expenditure is illegal, what about
the $500 that we gave to the Boy
Scouts?"
Lester replied, "the granting
of $500 to the Boy Scouts was
not illegal. AS to giving $500 to
the Charter Boat Association, if
a lease could be acquired by the
city, then the city could make
this expenditure, but not in the
present form of the ordinance"
The commission then vot e d
