Nofion's S Strike
Figures Tum bic

Washington (LPA) The nations
strike total dropped to 200 stop
pages in September the lowest fig
ure for any month since December
1916 when 16S were recorded, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics report
ed here last week.
About $4,000 workers were in
volved in the strikes beginning in
September, the lowest number since
last February. Including continu-
ing strikes there were about 400
disputes involving a total of 1885,
600 workers. The largest of these
was the CIO shipyard strike settled
last week
For the first nine months Of 1947
the strike totals were considerably
lower than for the same period of
1916, BIS found. About 1000
strikes were listed for the first
nine months of 1916 compared with
approximately 5000 for 1947. "The
reduction in time lost was even
more Marked" the report said,
"totalling approximately 29,6O0,000
man-days for the first nine months
Of 1947 as against 102,000,000 man
days for the same period of 1896"

Newsprin+ Prices
To Be lacked $40

New York UPA)-The second
newsprint price gouge in eight
months will hit the nations publish
ers by the end of December, in
dustry spokesmen declared here
this week.
AS with the first increase, which
lacked prices from SS4 to 500 ton
in June, the new hike will hit labor,
religious, fraternal and other small
ler publications most severely. With
the profits of newsprint manufac-
turers reaching record highs, large
scale purchasers continue to re-
ceive rebates and quantity discounts
which are not available to labor
editors and others.
The new increase will range from
So to SO ton but numerous veri-
fled cases-some of them given re-
Gently to Congressional investi-
eating committee-show that gray
market newsprint has been and
still is selling at prices ranging up
to $3.50 ton and beyond. Canadian
manufacturers protested last week
that such exorbitant prices mean no
unusual profit to them because the
margin is almost invariably taken
by newsprint brokers here and in
other cities.
Manufacturers continued to lust
ify their price jump by referring to
increased operating costs. However,
newsprint trade journals last week
disclosed that the installation of
new machinery and the moderniza-
tion of dozens of Canada's largest
plants has already resulted in large
savings. 1t was admitted that news
print supply is still far behind de-
mand and probably will continue
so well into 1913.

RuiIro a d Brotherhoods Establish
Political L League For 48 Elections

Washington, ID. C.-Top leaders
of nearly all of the> nations rail
road labor organizations voted to
set up an organization for politi-
cal activity in the 1948 election
campaign.
The organization, known as Rail
way Labor's Political League, will
urge railroad workers to "more
fully and effectively exercise their
right to vote," and disseminate in
formation on the attitudes of cam
didates for public office toward the
problems of railroad workers.
The league is similar in purpose
and announced organization to the
AFL's Iabor's Educational and
Political League" establishment of
which was authorized by the recent
AFL convention. Final organization
of the AFL league is expected to
be promulgated at a meeting of all
AFL national presidents in Wash
ington in December.
Financing of the railroad political
organization will be undertaken
through the solicitation of volun-
tary contributions from railroad
workers and other interested citi-
Zens.
The league will establish units
where necessary in states and con-
gressional districts, thereby giving
it nationwide scope.
Representatives of the 10 rail
road unions participating in the es-
tablishment of the league adopted
resolution setting forth the objec-
tives of the league as follows:
"The purpose of this leagure
shall be to encourage railroad
workers to more fully and effec-
lively exercise their right to vote;
Compile and disseminate infor-
nation relating to the attitude of
candidates for public office toward
the social and economic problems
of railroad workers, including the
voting records, statements and 9th
er actions Of such candidates;
"To advise railway workers of
the opinions of various railroad
labor organizations;
"And to do such other things as
may be deemed proper to fully in
form railway workers of the quail
fications of such candidates"
Two of the nations 81 railroad
labor organizations did not partici-
pate in the formulation of the poll
teal league. They are the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers.

Gomez explained that collective
bargaining" is carried on like this: !:
A union meeting is called. A
government spokesman tell the
workers, From now on your wages
and hours will be thus and So"
That's all there is to it.
However, Spanish workers are
preparing for the day of liberation,
Gomez said. Despite apparently
hopeless odds and the constant
threat of arrest and Imprisonment
by Frances police, the % under
ground unions have grown in
strength, he declared.
Each union has representa-
tive on the national committee of
the Union General de Trabajodores
(UGT), which corresponds to CIO
or AF'L in this country. There are
,35,QQO dues-payers in the Madrid
area alone, Gomez said.
Dues are used to finance under
ground newspapers and provide for
the families of imprisoned union
leaders. To date, according to Co
mez, two complete UGT executive
committees have been thrown into
prison, but a third is at work.
The UGT has also organized 400
local units with a membership of
$4,000 among exiled Spanish union
lists. Headquarters for the exiled
group is in France.
Gomez expressed warm apprecia-
ton for the help of the Interna-
tional Solidarity Committee, which
has sent food, clothing and medi-
cine to Impoverished Spanish ex-
lies.
you do not realizez how much it
means to US to know that American
trade unionists are helping us in
our fight to build democratic
Spain," he said.

New Rail Strike
Threatened By 3
Operating Unions

Chicago (LPA)-With the threat
of another railroad strike over
hanging the negotiations federal
mediation got under way here this
week in the wage controversy be-
tween three operating brotherhoods
and the nations rail carriers.
Unions involved in the dispute
are the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Lo-
comotive Firemen and Enginemen,
and the Switchmen, representing
about 100000 Operating employees
those in train, engine and yard
service.
They refused to settle on the
same basis as did two other Broth
erhoods last week. These two-the
Trainmen and Conductors-signed
with the railroads for a 15hc an
hour increase (the same as was
previously obtained by II unions
representing more than 100000
incorporating" employes) and for
four changes in working rules.
In addition, the two Brother
hoods and the railroads agreed to
negotiate further on IL other pro-
posals for revisions in rules.
The other three, however, con-
tended that the settlement was un-
satisfactory; that the wage raise
was not adequate, and that en-
ployes in yard and hosting service,
in particular, deserved greater
increase. They also held out for
additional improvements in rules
governing working conditions.
They decided to spread a strike
vote among their members in an
effort to force a satisfactory ad-
justment. Ballots are to be counted
and a strike date set on or about
Dec. Is, if no agreement is reach
ed meanwhile.
Members of the Natl Mediation
Board, which administers the Rail
way Labor Act, started conferences
here with both sides in an effort to
secure an agreement prior to the
of the strike balloting. All
five unions originally asked for "A
changes in working rules and for
a 80 per cent increase.

Passage Of FEPC
Law Seen Likely
In Next Session

Washington (LPA) - On the
basis of recent election results and
change of heart by some manage
ment groups, enactment of the
Ives -Chavez-Fulton bill against dis
elimination in employment is like
ly in 1948." This is the prediction,
made this week, of co-chairmen A.
Philip Randolph and Allan Knight
Chalmers of the Natl Council for
a Permanent FEPC.
"The U. S. Chamber of Com
merce has walked out on Donald
r. Richberg, and a few other lone
ly defenders of discrimination in
employment" the FEPC advocates
reported. Quoting the c of C's No
vember Labor Relations Letter,
they say the employers organiza-
tion is showing San encouraging
degree of open-mindedness." While
hedging on the permanent FEPC
law proposal, the c of C urges
employers to watch progress of
FEPC legislation. "The real ques-
tion obviously is not whether en-
ployers are for or against racial
discrimination in employment" the
Letter asserts. practically all en-
ployers are against such discrimi-
nation"
Commenting on recent state
ments by the Natl Association of
Manufacturers that the Senate fill
buster rule is in danger, Randolphk
and Chalmers says the NAM alarm
"is good and cheering news for all
friends of social and economic JUS
tice."
They also point to warnings by
Negro Republican leaders, publish
ed in The Republican, official party
magazine, that the colored vote will
not return to the Republican Party
in 1948 unless FEPC is first made
law, and that the Republican Par
ty has not won a Presidential cleo
tion since 1882, when colored voters
left the Republican Party in large
numbers"

TRUMAN PLAN SPLITS
THE REPUBLICANS
on HELP TO EUROPE

Washington (LPA)- Republican
Congressional leadership showed
its alarm last week over the
chances of a 1948 hangover from
the 1947 price binge, splitting right
down the middle over what to dc
about President Truman's 10-point
anti-inflation program.
At one extreme was Chairman
Charles w. Tobey (R., N. H., of
the Senate Banking Committee.
who told reporters, "Damn the tor
pedoes, let's go ahead" His conn
mittee opens hearings this week
on four of the least controversial
of Truman's points. "The American
people are getting ugly and bitter
over this tragic price situation,
he warned.
At the other end was Sen. Rob-
ert A. Taft (R., Ohio) who man
aged to achieve his usual thru-a-
revolving-door position on the
Presidents program. Within a few
hours after Truman spoke to Con-
gress, Taft went on a nationwide
radio hookup to condemn the pro-
posals as "the police state" and
added flatly, "This is the end of
economic freedom" Two days later,
the Republican Steering Committee
slapped him down and agreed to
consider all 10 of Truman's points
in Committee hearings.
Additional pressure on the Re-
publicans to treat Truman's pro-
posals seriously, including selective
price control and rationing of
scarce commodities came from
Presidential aspirant Harold Stas-
sen. A report of staff experts of
Taft's Joint Committee on the Eco
nomic Report had told the Com
mittee even before Truman spoke
that considerations should be given
to these measures, according to a
report by Griffing Bancroft in the
Chicago Sun.
During this week, three Con-
gressional committees will hold
hearings on the anti-in-
flation program. The Senate Bank
ing Committee will first take up a
bill by Rep. C. Douglass Buck (R.,
DELI to restore federal controls
over consumer credit. The Joint
Committee on the Economic Re-
port will hear Administration
spokemen on the methods they pro-
pose to carry out the 10-point plan.
Sen. Taft has shown great relunc-
tance to even discuss price control
and rationing before January /,
and at best puts these "at the bot
tom of the list" The House Bank
ing Committee, headed by Rep.
Jesse Wolcott (R., Mich.) opens
hearings on rationing and price
controls this week, Wolcott led the
fight on OPA and opposes the Tru-
man program.
Adding fuel to the fires, the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics last week
made public figures showing that
prices rose Oh per cent
TO new postwar high during
the week ended Nov. Is. Primary
market prices were 40.6 per cent
higher than the end of June 1916
when effective price controls end
ed.
The cost of living in mid -Septem-
Der, reached new record high
and food prices broke records the
fourth consecutive month, BIS re-
ported. The retail food price fig
Ires, delayed because Congress cut
BIS funds to the bone last June,
showed that price advances for
meats, dairy products and eggs
we're the greatest. Market-basket
'oods now are 40 per cent higher
han in June 1916, and 10 per cent

1t is to the self-interest of every
American worker that the rehabili-
tation of wartorn Western Europe
be successfully accomplished. Eco
nomic disintegration, privation
and hunger are the generators of
totalitarianism, whether of the
right or left. The preservation of
free governments in Western Eu-
rope are directly dependent upon
immediate American economic aid
as envisaged in the proposal of Sec
retary of State Marshall.
The cost of the American people
in assisting the 16 nations of Wes-
tern Europe to rehabilitate their
economies will be small as COM
pared to the alternative of an un-
aided Europe falling under totali-
tartan domination, with the ulti-
mate possibility of war.
We recognize that the sharing
of our domestic production with
other nations involves some person
al sacrifice. But, as in war, so in
this great program for peace, such
sacrifices as must be borne by the
American people should be borne
equally. Speculation and profiteer-
ing in relief materials have no
place in this humanitarian project.
American business as well as AM
erican labor must sacrifice.
The responsibility is placed di-
rectly upon free labor and free
management. to demonstrate by
concerted effort and voluntary self
restraint that we are able to aid
the rest of the world and satisfy
our own demands without disrup-
tion of our domestic economy. Not
only must we produce the things
needed for the relief and recon-
struction of Europe, but every in
dividual must help increase total
supplies by self-discipline in his
personal uses.
At present, it is only in the ex-
port of grain that the drain on
American resources is sufficient to
cause serious initiation Il. Starva-
tion and political upheaval are GER
tain this winter unless American
ships the .570,000,000 bushels of
grain recommended by the Presi-
dents Committee on Foreign Aid.
The plan to ship this amount, which
constitutes 40 per cent of our total
grain crop this year, has already
proven a serious incentive to specu-
lation and price initiation. However,
because of our all-time record
wheat crop this year, shipment of
this amount will cause no serious
domestic hardships if there are
proper safeguards and restraints.
Because of the urgency Of the
food situation in Europe, large pur-
chases and shipments must be made
now. Without specific authorize
tion from Congress, the admins
tration has no power to impose
governmental Safeguards against
price initiation and speculation in
relief materials. Upon the volun-
tary organizations of our nation
rests responsibility for mobilizing
public support to make this plan
effective. These groups should be
consulted in working out detailed
cooperation.

ment and support to our govern
ment's appeal to the American con-
sumner, producer, dealer and process
