On Taft-HartIey Act
By the Associatsd Press

Fighting words marked organ
lied labor's observance of it's own
holiday this year as leaders
pledged a determined battle to
strike the Taft-Hartley Act from
the statute books.
,CIO President Philip Murray de-
clared American workers are in a
fighting mood" And AF'L Presi-
dent William Green asserted that
labor is rallying its forces to fight
against oppression and depression Z"
Mr.. Murray, speaking by radio
from Kansas City, hammered al the
economic consequences he foresees.
II want to say most en-
phatically." he declared, that the
Nation is heading toward another
depression-a depression that could
easily make the last one appear to
be only a minor economic setback.
Says Trend Must Be Halted.
Il am not saying that another de-
preston is just around the corner
the CIO chief continued. Il am
saying that the present trend of
higher profits and smaller and
smaller purchasing power must be
halted and reversed if we are to
avoid economic chaos in the flu
ture."
AS for the fight he said is ahead,
Mr. Murray pictured American
working men and women as de
termined that their unions will not
be weakened"
They are determined to change
the anti-labor complexion of Con-
greSs," he went on. 'They are de-
termined to wipe the infamous
Taft-Hartley law from the statute
books
MIR. Green, addressing a Labor
Day rally at Chicago's Soldier Field,
pledged that the AFLs fight will be
waged mot with ill = considered
strikes, but with ballots, in the
peaceful, democratic and American
way"
Five-Point Program.
Mr.. Green laid down this FIVE
point program for 1948 as worth
fighting for:
l. Reduction of the cost of living
ito a more reasonable level" with
price-fixing monopolies crushed"
and imitation halted.
2. Measures to maintain full, !
year-round employment as decent"
wages.
3. A housing program which will
encourage and speed up the con-
struction of millions of new and
comfortable homes"
4. An increase in the present 40
cent an hour minimum wage in
interstate industry.
S. A broadened social security
system.
Mr.. Murray, too listed five things
he said are wanted by "the great
mass of working men and women
who have become convinced that
they are being squeezed economical
ly and pushed around politically"
Want Better Homes.
They want better homes, better
working conditions, improved medi-
cal care, adequate educational fa-
cilities and real opportunities for
advancement the CIO leader said,
