Foremen Strike
Action Deferred

Detroit LPA)-The threatened
strike by members of the Fore
mems Assn Of America, ,-indepen-
dent, at the Ford Motor Co., was
deferred last week pending further
negotiations.
Despite warning by Ford In
dustrial Relations Director John f..
Bugas, "If you think that by a
strike you can coerce the company
into some agreement which we
know is not workable, or if you
think foremen have no manage
ment responsibility, perhaps this
is as good time as any to settle
those issues" the Ford foremen
continued to insist they were deter
mined to strike.
FAA President Robert II. Keys
said $3.50 of the 3785 union mem
bers at meeting after negotiations
broke off had voted almost unani-
mously to strike. He added that 20
other FAA chapters who have been
certified by the NLRB have filed
formal requests with managements
for negotiating union contracts.

BY MARY MOORE

Recently returned from Geneva,
Switzerland as a u. S. substitute
delegate to the Governing Body of
the International Labor Organiza-
tion, Miss Frieda Miller, Chief of
the Womens' Bureau, U. S. Dept.
of Labor, stressed that this was
strictly non-policy forming
executive get-together.
Miss Miller states that the next
real business of the ILO will be
taken up during the general meet
ing to be held in Geneva next June.
The main purpose of the meeting
will be to analyze labor problems
and then try to raise labor stand
ards all over the world.
Discussing labor legislation,
Miss Miller commented, 81 feel
we have adequate means of negoti-
ating through our mediation
boards. ] don't believe more laws
are what we need. What we need
to do is get at the basic causes.
Find out what they must have in
order to maintain a decent stand
ard of living. The only way we're
going to accomplish anything is
by remedying basic ills, not by
simply superimposing more federal
laws which won't cure anything"
When Miss Miller was asked
what could women do for peace,
she replied, 81 wish women would
acquaint themselves with current
problems. Women should do what
every earnest citizen should do
read more, and not just the gossip
columns. They should do the hard
er, more rewarding job of blowing
through weighty, worthwhile ma
terial so they may have informed
opinions. They must be able to dis
cuss current events and be able to
back up their views"
Rumor has it that the House APP
preparations subcommittee had the
Women's Bureau slated for the ak
not just budget trimming, but
entirely out. When the whisper of
this unaccountable whim was
spread via grapevine among the
major women's organizations of
the country, letters and wires at
the rate of one thousand day be-
gan pouring into the office Of one
budget committee congressman,
known to be sponsoring the cut.
They came from the General FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs, the Lea
que of Women Voters and from
the National Association of Bust
ness and Professional Women's
Clubs, and from the Women's
Trade Union League. 1t shows the
power women have as voters in
governing the government.

a device to restore the economy
when it sags. Public works which
will benefit the community and the
nations economy as a whole mean
public workers and they should be
regarded as workers. The work
done by the employees of federal,
state and local governments is in
dispensable to living in our COM
plex civilization. From local po-
lice and fire protection, the post
office, up to provision for the
facilities for labor board elections,
the services of the government
make the difference between life
and death, freedom or slavery,
relative peace or civil war.
The new services we must re-
ceive from the government are
equally essential. AS we must
provide for better health, recre-
alton, education, transportation,
entertainment than we have pre-
vipusly enjoyed as a nation-we
can see these services provided for
US by the very people who are dis
placed from agriculture and in
dustry. Adopting this reasonable
approach toward government en-
ployees, paying tn e m decent
wages, will help promote pros
perity in both the economic and
cultural life of the nation.

"Many of those teachers aren't
worth even that" he declared
'They are merely keeping open a
kind of detention room so that par
ents will be relieved of the respon-
sibility of their children for few
hours a day.
"Let us quit weeping tears for
such teachers. Let's build a finan-
cial floor under education so re-
spectacle salaries will be offered
qualified teachers. We are inter
ested in good salaries for good
teachers"
Representative George L. Lusk,

Hearings Open
On Health Bill

Washington-(LPA)-In a sur
prise move aimed at supporters of
national health insurance legisla-
ton, the Health Subcommittee of
the Senate Committee on Labor &
Public Welfare, this week announc-
ed IL days of hearings on the
health bill supported b ythe Ameri-
can Medical Assn and only three
days for advocates of a national
health insurance program. Medical
society spokesman are due to be
heard starting May 21st. AFL and
CIO spokesmen who will support
the health insurance bill introduced
by Democratic Senators Murray,
Wagner, Chanez, Pepper, McGrath
and Taylor will be heard June 18th.
The health bill now being sup
ported by the American Medical
Assn and other opponents of ma
tional health insurance was intro
duced by Republican Senators Taft,
Smith, Ball and Donnell proposes
to make grants from federal funds
to state health agencies to pay
"needy" persons and their depend
ents. The Taft bill is based on
the cost of medical care for
the charity principal. Persons to
be eligible for benefits will have
to be certified by some welfare
agency as medically INDECENT"
Control of the program will be
placed in the hands of medical So
cieties.
The broad national health insur-
ance bill now being supported by
all branches of organized labor,
would provide for an extension of
social security legislation to the
field of medical care. 1t would pro-
vide for a national health fund fl
nanced by employers, employees
and the federal and state govern
ments. Under this bill all needed
preventive, diagnostic and cura-
tive services as required would be
available to workers and members
of their families. Labor unions
would be assured of full participa-
tion in administration.

that the Taft measure which
would largely supplant it was the
foremost example in record of
reaction" which was "being writ
ten every day" by the present Re-
publican Congress.
Sees Veto Sustained
Viewing the record, it is too
much to expect that a majority
of the present Congress will bury
this bill," Wagner said, adding:
"But | earnestly hope that the
President vetoes it. Such a veto
would, | believe, be sustained right
here in the Senate. Certainly it
would be sustained by the liberty
loving, forward-looking, fair-deal-
ing American people,"
Arguing for a much milder sub
stitute bill backed by a group of
liberal Democratic Senators, Sena-
tor Pepper predicted the Taft
measure will start the country on
the way to depression if it be-
comes law"

Senator Pepper shouted. ut is go
ing to cause labor unrest.
Cites Soaring Profits
"If this Legislation is declared
into law it is going to contribute
to a depression" he continued.
There are many advocates of this
bill today who will regret their
part in it, economically if not po-
litically, in the years to come"
Pepper said corporation profits
rose $4,000, 100000 in 1916 over the
previous year while wages and sal
aries decreased $4,000, 100000 in
the same period.
"We are already in the very
downward spiral of wages, salaries
and public purchasing power that
led us in a toboggan slide to the
last depression" he said.

ResenfS Attacks

Richmond, Va. OLNS).-Labor
resents attacks by politicians "in-
tended to break US up into small
groups" Jack j. Smith, president
of the Virginia State Federation of
Labor said in his address at the
opening of the federation's 51st
annual convention.
Smith hit at state executives and
legislators responsible for passing
of anti-labor legislation in Virginia
and said:
"The state people tell us it is
not their intention to hurt organ
lied labor. That of course, is rot.
We do not expect a group of poll
ticians to tell us what is good for
us. That is about as reasonable,
as sparrow telling fish how to
swim.
"We will do our part in the Vir-
ginia community. We will meet
management fairly and decently
in friendly spirit in our program
to advance the cause of the work
ing people. We will cooperate with
the churches and civic organiza-
tions toward the advancement of
community life. Good unionism is
good citizenship"
Smith reported that the state
federation now is stronger by GO
locals and 10000 members than it
was in 1916. "
Lewis G. Hines, of Washington,
chairman of the American Fedora
tion of Labor's Legislative commit
tee, told the convention that "the

for the National Association of
Manufacturers are doing more to
promote Communism than any
agency that has operated in this
country in years."

Lorqer Audience

New York UPA) = The AFL's
nationwide newspaper and radio
campaign TO acquaint the Ameri-
can public with the menace to de-
mocracy embodied in the Taft
Hartley slave labor legislation
reached an increasingly larger au-
diehce last week.
Radio critics praised the AFL's
daytime serial and the nighttime
variety shows featuring the ma
tion's top radio, stage and screen
stars, all members of the AFL en-
tertainment unions. The ABC net
work carried the serial "The Best
Things In Life" at 2:45 p. m. and
the variety show at $50 each
Thursday, both EST.
One of the AFL's two ads last
week clearly stated the issue of
"Industry-Wide Bargaining or
chaos" The ad pointed out "Indus-
try knows no boundaries. 1t
sprawls across the nation. Thous-
ands of employers are organized
on an industry wide basis. To meet
industry as an equal, Labor must
bargain on an industry wide scale"
The second ad was headlined
Don't Be A NAM Fool" Assail-
ing the NAM for having dictated
the Hartley slave-labor bill, the
AFL declared that "the prosperity
of the entire country depends on
strong and secure unions which can
obtain fair wages for workers who,
in turn, can buy the products of
farm and factory and keep busi-
ness going full blast"

at present, since there is no provi-
sion for disability benefits in the
law
The report calls for the exten-
sion of coverage under old-age and
survivors insurance to all gainfully
employed workers. Persons not at
present able to earn protection
under the program include those
employed in agriculture, domestic
service, non profit organizations,
Government service, and the self
employed. The Asheville field of
flee, Mr.. Lambert said, has had
many inquiries from residents of
Mcdowell county who had some
wages in jobs covered by the law,
but had worked in other jobs such
as those mentioned above, which
are not covered by the law, and
therefore were not eligible for
benefits due to this fact.
A third major recommendation
calls for changes in the method by
which old-age and survivors insur-
ance benefits are figured to increase
the amount of the benefits, parti-
cularly for low-paid workers. The
general level of benefits should be
raised the report states, largely
because of increased living costs.
The average payment in Mcdowell
county, is too low, due chiefly to
the changes in economic conditions
since the war, and for other rea-
sons
Other recommendation call for
increasing from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year the wages that may be credit
ed to the account of any worker,
thus expanding the basis for deter
mination Of benefits. An increase
in the amount of earnings a bene-
ficiary may receive in covered en-
ployment without having benefits
suspended is also proposed.

Amendme nts To The Present

The payment of disability benefits
to insured workers during periods
of permanent total disability is
recommended by Social Security
Administration. in it's Eleventh Re-
port, according to D. w. Lambert,
manager of the Asheville Office of
the Social Security Administration.
In making this recommendation
for the inclusion of disability in
surance, the report said that the
wage loss suffered by permanently
disabled workers and their families
probably runs from 81, 100000
to 2,O0O,OOO,OO0 year. Mr.. Lam
bert said his Office recently had an
inquiry from lady in Mcdowell
county concerning benefits for her
family, stating that her husband
had recently had a stroke of paraly-
sis, and the doctors indicated he
probably would never be able to
work again. No benefits were pay
able under the Social Security Act
