As the convention prepared to
adopt wage policies for the COM
ing year, the delegates adopted a
proposal for a one-day national
work stoppage to protest anti
labor bills.
The first major CLIO union con-
vention since the intensive legis-
lative drive against labor, it Of
fered roundabout program of
action to resist the blows against
labor and the people by powerful
monopoly interests.
MOST significant features of
the policies adopted by the 400
delegates representing 100000
packing house workers called for
the eventual establishment of an
Independent political party and
a 13-point anti depression pro-
gram.
The Democratic and Repub-
hcan parties present US with
u choice between Tweedledee
and Tweedledum." the conven-
zion declared. "The people
have no choice in the selection
of candidates for whom they
are to vote"
Until such third party is set
up, the delegates agreed "to give
our energy, our time, and our
full strength and power to the
immediate goals of electing indie
pendent candidates to office wher-
ever possible"
THE 13-point anti-depression
program was presented to the
by international pres
Ment Ralph H e1stein who
charged the large monopolies
wanted "to set the stage for a
period of depression and look for
ward to it with a good deal of
satisfaction"
Attacks against labor and the
people by the monopolies. Hell
stein said. indicate 'sthis nation
is today being precondifioned to
a stale of fascism."
"The hysteria being directed
against the trade unions" Hell
stein charged, sis simply laying
the basis for the further drive of
suppressing all civil liberties"
THE witch-hunts that are TAX,
ing place are directed immedi-
ately against minority groups but
in the final analysis are aimed at
all the progressive forces in the
nation who dare to stand I'D
against monopoly"

depression program offered by

weapons now. You can bet your bottom dollar that if Moscow had the secret of the atomic bomb, it wouldn't be destroying its bombs nor offering to share the secret with anybody.
 Gromyko's insistence that the United States junk its atomic bombs immediately seems to sub- stantiate the views expressed re- gently by Dr. Oppenheimer who played the leading role in develop ing the bomb. While convinced that our atomic information should be guarded carefully, he said "it is my opinion that even if we threw the books wide open and showed the Russians, for instance, all the facts and figures we have, it would only confuse them"
 The current telephone strike should arouse Congress to the ur- gent need of legislation to outlaw

THAT'S THAT

Soviet delegate Gromkyo must think the American people are a bunch. of saps. Otherwise, he wouldn't have demanded that the United States destroy all it's atom ic bombs immediately, and trust to the future for some effective in- ternational system to outlaw atom ic warfare. His demand received the reply it deserved. American delegate Austin answered with a prompt and emphatic "No!"
 It may be, as Gromyko argued to the United Nations security council, that the American monop- oly on atomic energy "cannot con- tinue for an indefinite period But plainly, if the Russians were at all confident of being able to find the secret of the atomic bomb in the next few years they would not be so anxious to have the United States junk all its atomic

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (R)-Rep. An gell R.-Ore0 said today the United States faces critical financial era and Uncle Sam is reaching the bottom of his financial barrel and he cannot finance the world"

 He said it was realized in Con- gress that it is only "the initial payment" and not only Greece and Turkey need help eff the surge of Communism is to be kept back but most of the other smaller nations will be knocking at Uncle Sam's door for similar help"

! industry-wide bargaining. As long
 as that system is tolerated, the
 danger of nationwide strikes in
 key industries will menace the
 American people. The only argu- ment for industry-wide bargain
 ing in the telephone business is
 that wages in every section of the country should be on the same level. And that plainly is unsound because it ignores local conditions and differences in living costs in various sections.
 Liberty or slavery? That is the fundamental question in the con- { oversy over legislation proposed in Congress to outlaw the closed shop. Under the closed shop sys- lem, an individuals right to earn a living is entirely dependent upon his membership in particular union. He must be a member of that union to get job. He must remain a member to keep his job. Under a United States supreme court decision, "the very idea that one man may be compelled to hold his life or means of living . at the mere will of another seems to be intolerable in any country where freedom prevails, as being the essence of slavery itself"
 Neither the federal government nor any state can forbid any man to work at any lawful calling. Ex- cept as punishment for a crime, no government in this country can de- prive an individual of his freedom. But under the closed shop system, groups of citizens are allowed to exercise this power and to make other men pay them for the privi- lege of working.
 The way the closed shop system was used as a "shakedown" racket during the war should never be forgotten. On many construction projects, vital to national defense, the government winked at union eXtortionS on a wholesale scale. Large numbers of workers were needed. The unions which had the labor monopoly did not have that many members. So patriotic citi- zens who responded to the govern ment's appeal for workers had to pay the union for permission to work on these projects. In many instances they were laid off as soon as they finished paying for their work permits" That gave union racketeers a chance to sell more of these permits.
 Workers of this country should be free to join or not to join a union, as they please. To require union membership as a condition of employment is just as wrong as to deny employment because man is union member. The right of workers to organize and bargain collectively now is fully protected by law. The rights of unorganized workers should have equal pro- lection.
