Co-Ops Reply To
 Fulton Lewis, Jr.

WASHINGTON : A supplement- ary petition asking for an investigation Of Fulton Lewis Jr. and his charges against cooperatives, has been filed with the Federal Trade Commission by John Carson, director of the Wash lngton office of the Cooperative League of LISA.
 Carson contended in his supplement tary petition that there is sufficient evidence to show that a nationwide conspiracy now exists to injure or destroy cooperatives, in which so- called tax equality associations are taking the lead.
 This follows petition filed some weeks ago, in which Carson charged Lewis with unfair competition in the interests of his 25O sponsors. Now Carson has asked the Commission, if 1t should deny jurisdiction in the case, to give GOODS reasons why ju- rlSdiction is lacking. He says the CO., operatives will then appeal to the Congress to have laws amended to add to ETC jurisdiction.

NY. Building Trades Favor Stoppage

NEW YORK-(FP)-The nation al AFL was asked to call a 1-day nationwide work stoppage to protest the Hartley slave labor bill in a reso- 1ution unanimously adopted by the New York Building Trades Council here, delegates who attended the closed meeting reported.
 Following adoption of the resolution council Pres. Howard McSpedon left for Washington to lay the plan before AFL leaders. Other council officials were silent on the action
 At the same time delegates called for a 1-hour citywide work stoppage and mass demonstration by the coun- cips 250,0OO members to be held April Y, coinciding with scheduled congress ional action on the Hartley Bill. The demonstration failed to materia1ize, re- ported1y because the council was await ing clearance on its decision from the national AFL.

 Up Legislative Work Committee
N. H. Labor Incensed Over Kicking Around Of
 City Bremen

The New Haven Central Labor Council, at its meeting Thursday, un- anirnous1y voted to increase its legis- lative activities, in view of the strong anti-labor drive now on in Congress.
 Vice President William P. En- right, who presided in the absence of President Vincent J. McCOvern, named the following special legis- lative committee: Joseph J. Egan, Typos; Carl c. Hoff, Musicians !; Bernard Cilbride, Electricians ; George Lawlor, Board of Education Employees; Enright; and Nathan Sherman, The Union Times.
 Harold V. Feinmark, business agent of the New Haven Fire Fighters, No. 825. reported that it was understood that the Committee on Ordinances of the Board of Aldermen, headed by William Dimenstein, had asked for a ruling from Corporation Counsel George DiCenzo on the petition of the Central Labor Council for a short CT work week for the city firemen
 EcAH111dEh SdlU tndI IL was reported that DiCenzo had ruled that the Board of Aldermen could not pass such legislation, as it would infringe on the rights of the Board of Fire Commissioners. He pointed out that the Board of AId- ermen was the supreme legislative body for the city, and said that organized labor would hold Mayor CelentanO and Alderman Dimen- stein responsible for continuing the inhuman conditions under which city firemen are forced to work. Feinmark also reported that he had contacted the Board of Finance in an effort to make an appointment with the Board to present the pe- titiOn of the New Haven Federation of Teachers for a salary increase.
 Reports were also made by Saul Kreas, president of the New Haven Building Trades Council; George Lawlor, who is the Councils repre- sentative on the elementary school subcommittee of the Citizens Advis- ory Committee on Education; Maskell
 Hunt, executive secretary of the Conn. Federation of Teachers Unions; and Everett V. Shaw, executive secretary of the Policemen's Union.

Ford Foundation Enables Family To Duck Taxes

DEARBORN, Mich. (FP) = The Ford Foundation, to which the late Hery Ford wil1ed all his nonvoting stock of the Ford Motor Co.,, just as Edsel Ford had done in 1943, is re- garded by hardheaded businessmen not so much a glowing charity as device to dodge inheritance taxes.
 Business Week said regarding the Edse1 Ford inheritance tax: "The Ford Foundation eliminated the need for payment of tax on the overwhelm- ing share of the inheritance and kept company control in the fami1y's hands" Regarding the will of Henry Ford, at that time not yet filed for probate, Business Week said
 If most shares go to the founda- tion no tax difficulty is expected"
 There are 172,654 shares of class B or voting stock, owned entirely by the Ford family There are 3,25O,255 shares of Class A nonvoting stock. Henry Ford owned 1,804,140 shares of this and Edsel is believed to have held the rest. Guesses as to the value of the Ford Foundations combined holdings range up to $750,0000OO.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

A new Dallas (Tex.) Net0s re. porter, assigned to cover a high school pageant, wrote: 'sThe school auditorium was filled with expec- tant mothers, eagerly awaiting the appearance of their offspring"
 A Hearst columnist, Leslie Could, writes: ''There is lot of economic nonsense being breathed-particul- arly from Washington-on the matter of prices. Prices are high They are high because wages have been allowed-in fact encour- aged to skyrocket."
 Nonsense! Here's the real reason why prices are so high. As of Feb ruary, in textiles, prices rose 3l.8 percent when only a 6.7 percent boost was needed to cover wage in- creases. In meats, prices jumped 9O.6 per cent when l.6 percent could have covered increases. In iron and steel, prices went up l6.7 percent when a l.9 percent boost would have covered wage gains.
 1t was the same throughout most major industries-but the truth doesn't bother a Hearst cOlumnist.
 The number of farm dwellers killed in accidents yearly-around l7,OOO-is the equivalent of ''wip- ing out'' the entire population of any one of the following cities Iowa City, Ia., Wilmette, Ill.,, Cof- feyville, Kan., West Springfield, Mass, Biloxi, Miss, or Aberdeen, s. D., according to the National Safety Council.
 Even the Republicans in Congress were surprised when Gen. MacAr- thur recently announced his job was just about done in Japan and he could return most any day now. Didn't they know there's a Presi- dential campaign here in l948?
 ''WHO is George Dixon?" de- manded the city editor of the Salt LGke City (Utah) Telegram when he read the copy before him:
 Because the CIO and AFL un- ions are campaigning for George Dixon at the Geneva Steel Plant, Gov. Herbert B. Nav has declined an invitation to speak before either group"
 Finally the reporter was con- tacted, "Oh," he said, ''I didn't say

Tax Cut Won't Mean Much To Wage Banners
Do You Know How Your Congressman Voted On
 This Issue

WASTIINGTON-The little fellow who makes $25 week is going to have his taxes cut three cents a day.
 That's the essence of the so-cal1ed tax reduction bill which was jammed through the House of Repre- sentatives last week by the Republican leadership, 273 to 137.
 Of course if you are fortunate enough to bring home $l million yearly your taxes will be cut $3Ol.S7 day or $llO,OOO a year.
 Here is table showing just how much more you will save this year if the Knutson Tax Bill CHR D passes in the Senate. You might bear in mind that Sen. Robert A. Taft (R., O. wants the bill amended to become effective July 1 instead of being retro active to last January 1. In that case . divide the savings in half.

Phone Workers Have Plenty To Complain About
American Telephone, Tele.- graph Co. Is Worlds
 Biggest Business

NEW YORK CPD = Want to know why 35O,OOO conservative telephone workers brought up in a company union tradition are militantly marching on picketlines against the worlds biggest business the American Telephone x Tele. graph Co.,? Here are few of the reasons:
 AT&T's cherished $o dividend cost 185,0O0 workers their jobs during the depression years of 1929 to 1886.
 The company paid out over $35 million more per year in dividends during the depression than in prosperous times. To do so it laid off l85, ,OOO workers and parttimed the rest. Each dollar of the $9 dividend meant the loss of 10000 jobs.
 AT&T is asking its employees to buy up another 10 million shares. The money will be used to complete 5- year plan for dial conversion which will throw 250,OOO or thirds of AT&T's employees out of their jobs.
 In other words, AT&T wants its workers to underwrite their own layoffs
 It takes only six years to get P1D degree in a university, but it takes AT&T employees eight years to reach top minimumS.
 Before the unions rated a nod from the company, it took an Oper- ator Is years to reach a top rate of $27 in New York. A Bell TeIe- phone stenOgrapher in Delaware worked for the company 29 years before they let her reach the top $28. Starting rates for operators were 25c to 35c an hour in the small towns.
 Low wages still prevail in the phone industry. A US. News survey showed that telephone workers earn from $6 to $12 less than the average wage of workers in manufacturing industries. Their wages even lag behind those of teachers, the most notorious1y under paid group in the country.
 *
 Average telephone wage is $44.10 a week. But wage minimums in the mid west and small southern communities are as low as $31 week-after eight years. Starting wages run from S22 in small towns to $31 in Detroit Top scale for operators in large towns runs from $3o to $45.
 Highly skilled plant craftsmen, installers, switchmen and long dist ance maintenance workers fare little better. Wages for these skilled workers range from a start of $26 in small towns to $29 in New York. Top scale after eight years is from 800 to $8O.
 The Bell System boasts about its liberal pension plan.
 But of the pensioners, lO% re- presenting management get about 4O%o Of all pension payments and 9O% split the remaining 60 per cent. Average Bell pension is about $7O month and 67@o of all pen- sioners receive less than this amount.
 When the company gets through de- ducting its share of social security taxes, the majority of pensioners wind up with about $50 a month.
 Until two years ago, when the company succumbed to heavy union pressure, the pension minimum was $50 a month.
 AT&T spent $14 million for adver- Using last year-but hasn't offered its employees penny in wage increases despite the rising cost of living.
