The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-09-13

Guy Mollet, secretary general,
led Socialist left wing forces to
victory at the recent party con-
gress which decided to apply more
severe measures to insure the CO.
operation Of farmers to relieve the
foot shortage in the cities. How
ever, Ramadier refused to follow
the plan laid down by his party.
Others included in the proposed
party disciplinary alton include
Robert Lacoste, minister of pro-
duction; Edouard Depreux, minis
ter of interior, and Daniel Mayer,
labor minister.
Failure Of Ramadier to insti-
gate more dynamic program in
the face of mounting economic
difficulties may result in the fall

on their shoulders. Instead of de-
mobilzing the army and recruit
ing needed manpower from idle
middle and upper class groups,
the government, the m n e r S
charge, is trying to overwork its
present force.
Earlier. while discussing do
nestle manpower and material
shortages. the congress Endorsed

the east. However. when Pres.
John Horner of the Fire Brig
AIDES Union sought TO amend the
foreign policy resolution to re-
peat this demand and 10 urge
that Britain resist the pres
sure of dollar diplomacy ex-
emplified in the Truman-Mar-
shall policy" delegates voted
him down.
Other foreign policy resolutions
urging total break in relations
with Franco Spain and change
in Britain's policies in Greece
were shelved, although it was
generally agreed that they had
overwhelming support on the con-
vention floor. The resolutions

were set aside after members of
the TUG general council argued
that these are matters of inter-
national deliberation best dealt
with by the United Nations and
World Federation of Trade IN
ions.
WHILE upholding their own
foreign minister, delegates show
ed equal vigor in shouting down
anti-Soviet talk. This was demon
strated sharply when AFL frater-
nal delegate George J. Richard
son denounced Russia's activities
in eastern Europe and character
lied the WITH as Communist
dominated. The TUG is WITH

only major labor body outside the

Richardson's remarks. The ALL
speaker was almost drowned out
when conference chairman G. w.
Thomson restored order by de-
claring that the TUG "disagrees
profoundly" with Richardson's
speech but that "every person has
a right to express his views"

The vote followed reassurances
from TUG leaders that the indus
tries will be nationalized by 1850.
Not a single delegate opposed
naturalization of the industries
one of the major planks in the
Labor party's successful 1945 cleo
ton campaign-but opponents of
the resolution argued that gov
eminent leaders were better
equipped to judge when the time
for naturalization was ripe.
Supporters of the resolution
charged that the private owners
of the industries are striving for
profits rather than national we'll
being and that continued private
ownership will mean continued
sabotage of government economic
plans.
THOUGH a number of union
conventions in the past several
months have attacked the labor
governments foreign and domes-
tic policies, the TUG meeting
held as the government faced an
acute shortage of dollars and a
major setback in coal production
because of widespread unau-
thorized mine stoppage-voted
down all resolutions critical OF
government program.
The convention was keynoted
by an officers report, later ap-
proved by delegates, in which
peacetine direction of labor to
essential jobs was supported. Del
gates also gave unequivocal back
ing to Foreign Sec. Ernest Bevin,
who swung votes behind him with
an address warning workers that
the nations recovery depended
totally on their production eff
forts.
The impact Of the TUG
resolutions was marred. how
ever. by the continuing coal
strike. which wus indirectly
criticized in a convention reso-
luton and which has been the
center of attention for govern
ment leaders for several weeks.
Despite efforts by national and
local mine union officials and
