Truman Urged To
Act Now On Steel
Industry Inertia

Washington (LPA)-The scare
ity program of the nations steel
manufacturers has already driven
the industry in the direction of
preliminary opposition to most of
the requests for aid from the west
ern European countries" Otis Bru-
baker, research director of the
United Steelworkers, declared in
testimony given to President Tru-
mans Council of Economic Advis-
ors.
"The union has been strongly
urged" said Brubaker, "to take a
similar selfish or narrow approach
to the foreign aid requests or run
the risk of accentuation of the un-
employment and sporadic employ
ment which have been Characters
tic of our steel fabricating industry
membership for many months.
"Thus, world needs for steel
make some immediate action on the
capacity problem even more imper-
ative because it is unreasonable to
expect that a unions leadership
can, over a protracted period of
time, urge a course of action which
may mean unemployment for it's
people"
Brubaker urged the Council to
advise Truman "to take the initia-

Cooperative Unit
Calls Meeting For

The cooperative group met Fri
day, November IA in their regular
weekly session. A most enlighten-
ing report was given by the COM
mittee who visited Dillonvale, Ohio
recently for examination of the CO.
operative enterprise which began
in 1908 and has been successfully
in operation since.
There were also interesting re-
ports from the American Fedora
tion of Labor showing the develop
ment OF the workers cooperatives
in the United States. There was in
evidence a spirit to make this a
functioning movement in the East
Liverpool district.
The next meeting will be Fri
day, November 21, 7:30 p. m. at
national headquarters at which
time plans will be perfected for a
permanent organization. All local
unions are urged to have their full
representation in this coming meet

and will have a genuine bearing
upon the future form of this move

AFL PubIicotion Exposes FoIIocies
OF Anfi-Ldbor Public Opinion Poll

Milwaukee, Wis.-An AFL union
has come out with a blast at the
false impression created by the pub
lie opinion poll featured several
weeks ago in "Look" magazine
which purported to show that Am
erican workers, while opposing the
Taft-Hartley law as a whole, ac-
tually are in favor of it's provisions.
Anthony G. Weinlein, Director of
Research and Education for the
kFL's Building Service Employees
Union, exposed the fallacies of the
"Look" poll in searching analysis
prepared for the unions publication
Report to Locals"
The poll, conducted by the Opin-
ion Research Corporation, was bas-
ed upon series of questions ask
ed the public and union members
in an attempt to find whether the
majority favored or opposed the
Taft-Hartley law. In reply to the
general question, 81 percent of
those polled were against the law.
Then, the polling agency took it
upon itself to draw up ten separate
questions which in its opinion were
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1947-11-20

designed to test sentiment on the
"ten leading controversial provi-
sions" of the law. Those questions
were carefully drafted, for a pur-
pose, so as not to be related to the
law itself. On the face of it then,
the public was asked to express
opinions on ten different questions
just as though there were in exis-
tence ten different laws.
After deliberately asking ques-
tions not tied up with the law, the
quizzers took the answers which
were favorable to the questions as
posed, and came out with the con-
clusion that the public and union
members, since they favored the in
dividual provisions on which they
were tested, actually favored the
specific law itself.
Mr.. Weinlein's analysis pointed
out some of the more obvious falla-
cies in the polling agency's techni-
que as follows:
81. The so-called ten provisions
do not add up to the entire law, do
not include the essential but unex-

scale educational campaign under
taken to acquaint builders with
their advantages and cost-saving
opportunities. Government engage
ment of industrialized home pro-
duction, using the economies of
mass production, is an essential
part of any campaign to get hous-
ing costs down.
Government aid in this con-
nection should be considered as
similar to the help given the auto
mobile industry (by building roads)
and the railroads in the days before
they were fully established"
The delegation, headed by Theo-
dore Hansen, state president, also
asked establishment of a national
housing target of 100000 homes
year, raising the number of pub
lie housing units under the Taft
Ellender- Wagner bill from 100000
within years to cat least one mil
lion" in the next 10 years and
adoption of the Douglas bill for
low-rent housing for veterans re-
gardless of income pending their
ability to get private housing.

Union Wins Contention
On Seniority Practice

Philadelphia (ILNS)-In one of
the most important rulings in the
history of the union, an arbitrator
upheld the seniority of representa-
tive of $500 food workers enrolled
in Local 1876, Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen of
North America.
The decision, formulating what
the union declared had long been
industry practice, was handed down
by Abe Cooper, president of the
B. S. Pincus Company, in dispute
involving the Markell Beef Boning
Company of Philadelphia.
The case came before Cooper
following dismissal of Steward
Ernest Meyer allegedly for "slack
business. Business Agent Joseph
Snyder successfully contended the
dismissal violated the unwritten
law of the industry protecting the
seniority of union representatives.
Cooper ordered Meyer reinstated
with pay for time lost.

ELECTION Of PRO-LABOR
SENATOR BY Ill. VOTERS
SEEN 1S40 POSSIBILITY

Washington (LPA)- Pro-Labor
Congressman returning to Wash
ington this week for the special
session expressed confidence that
next year will see the replacement
of a reactionary Sensltor BY a lib
eral in Illinois and the reelection
of a liberal Republican Senator in
Oregon.
In Illinois, tory Sen. c. Way
land Brooks, Republican darling of
the Chicago Tribune and its pub
Usher Col. Robert Mccormick, was
considered an almost certain loser
if his opponent is Maj. Paul H.
Douglas, nationally known Univer-
sity of Chicago professor and lib
eral. Douglas, who has war rec
ord to match Brooks, is now con-
sidered a cinch for the Democratic
nomination. Only possible hitch in
the plan may come if the Demo
Gratis run Douglas for governor in
stead of Senator.
Sen. Wayne Morse (R., Ore.),
one of the handful of Republican
liberals in the Senate, will be up
for reelection in 1850. An avowed
enemy of the Taft-Hartley law,
Morse consistently alienated top
Republican leadership both in his
state and in Washington for his
stand on controversial legislation.
Because of this and his frequent
criticism of the COP high COM
mand, the Republicans were plan
ming to replace him in 1850 with
Gov. Earl w. Smell. However, a
tragic airplane crash last month
killed not only Smell but Secretary
of State Robert Farrell, Jr., and
Marshall E. Cornett, president of
the Oregon Senate. Both Farrell
and Cornett, established conserva-
tives, would have been available
to oppose Morse in the primaries
if Smell decided not to run.

Reuther landslide
Sweeps Opposition
From uAW Jobs

Atlantic City, N. J. (LPA)-Ir
one of the greatest overturns in the
history of American unionism, the
forces of President Walter Reuthel
roared thru the 11th convention OF
the United Auto Workers like q
small tornado scattering opposition
to the winds.
The extent of Reuther's unpre-
cedented victory startled even his
most optimistic followers. Re-elect-
ed to his second term as president
of the worlds largest union, the
militant young redhead swept with
him his own slate of candidates for
secretary-treasurer and the two
vice-presidencies.
Most important of all, Reuther's
opponents who held frustrating
majority on the executive board for
the past 10 months were decisively
routed. Reuther men captured 18
board seats with a total of 1895
votes against four positions retain
ed by his opponents with SO votes.
Reuther's voting margin in the ex-
ecutive board will therefore be bet
ter than 10 to one.
Gone from the JAWS top coun-
ellis for the first time in II years
were Reuther's three chief foes:
Secretary-treasurer George Adde's,
and Vice-presidents r. j. Thomas
and Richard Leonard. In their
places were three longtime Reu-
ther lieutenants, Emil Macy, De-
troit regional director who ousted
Adde's from the post he had held
for IL years; Richard Gosser, vet
eran unionist and Toledo regional
director since 1912; and John Liv-
ingston, st. Louis regional director
who lost to Leonard in 1916 by a
slim Al vote margin.
After more than a decade of Bit
ter factional wars within the UAW,
group of auto workers who stag
ed the sit-down strikes of 1867;
who broke the use of speed-up, la
Dor spies, goon squads and tear
gas, finally came to the top. They
won a clear-cut mandate for an
uncompromising program that, in
its implications would adjust the
entire American economy to serve
the interests of labor and the pub
