HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. II
(LPA) - A permanent political
action committee for the AFL's
100000 members in this state
was established last week by the
State Federation of Labor.
The 17-man executive council
headed by President James l.
McDevitt, unanimously approved
a plan whereby funds will be
raised by voluntary contribu
tions from AFL members.
Defeat of all Pennsylvania
Congressman who voted for the
Taft-Hartley law will be the
prime objective, McDevitt said.
One of the first steps will be to
distribute comparison copies of

Toledo Strikes
Are Unchanged

No progress in the strikes OF
three Toledo UAW-CIO Units of
Local IL was the report of Wal
ter Murphy, assistant to UAW-
CIO Director Richard Gosser
today.
Involved in the work stop
pages are employees of the Com
mercial Metals Treating Co.,
Ransom and Randolph and Hall
Mfg. Co. The plants ceased op-
erations four weeks ago when
negotiations between the union
and managements were dead
locked.
Further discussions with the
Ransom and Randolph and Com
mercial Metals managements
have not been productive of any
progress toward settlement ac'
cording to Mr.. Murphy.

tn Law Wrecks
Foremen's Unions

DETROIT, Sept. II, (LPA)-
Struck a more devastating blow
by the Taft Hartley law than
any other union in the country,
the Foreman's Association of
America-unaffiliated, has al
ready lost 13 of its chapters, it
was disclosed here last week.
However, 14O chapters have
pledged determination to "stay
in the fight" despite the fact
that the new law deprives fore
men and supervisory employees
of collective bargaining rights.
FAA officials, admitting that
the union had been dealt a
staggering blow" by the with
drawals, were surprised by the
bowling out of the P ck a r d
C hapter, largest of the 13.
Packard had 245 members, the
other IL approximately 600.
Said FAA President Robert
Keys, "The foreman's problem
exists no matter how many
times Congress seeks to legislate
it away. No matter how loud
is the chant of the NAM that
foremen are part of manage
ment, they continue to be treated
as they were no part of it,"

CofCCut From
Same Pattern

WELLINGTON, N. z. LPA)
Ample proof that Chambers of
Commerce act the same way the
world around was given here
last week when the Welingtoon
Chamber of Commerce inaugu-
rated a campaign to pressure
this country's Labor Govern.
ment into killing the 40-hour
week and increasing it to at
least Al hours.
Labor Party newspapers dis
covered that the Chamber OF
Commerce has circulated a secret
QUESTIONABLE among its members
with view to securing evil
dence in support of its campaign"
which was seen as "the most
determined attack on the 40-hour
week that has been made since
it was first introduced"
1T is clear" declared the
Standard, official newspaper of
the New Zealand Labor Move
ment, that the whole idea is to
cut down the overtime costs by
compelling all employees to work
an extra four hours week at
ordinary rates of pay. There is,
no indication that this
saving will be passed on to the
in reduced prices.
The inference is that those work
ers who are already working four
hours overtime a week are to be
to make a gift of the
between the ordinary
rates of pay and the overtime
rates"

War Contract
Frauds Shown

ASHIN GTON, Sept. II,
(LPA) - A new Congressional
investigation into wartime frauds
and profiteering got under way
here last week, but this inquiry
opened by a House Expendi-
lures Subcommittee - was
devoid of the circus atmosphere
and high comedyof 'the Howard
Hughes investigation of Senator
Brewster"
The first scratchings of the
surface disclosed nine contract
fraud cases involving $3,006,515.
General Counsel E. L. Fisher, of
the General Accounting Office,
said that the cases were turned
over to the Justice Department,
but he did not name the COM
panies involved.
Committee m m b RS were
startled when Fisher admitted
that the G. eral |. Accounting
Office was making no attempt
to audit all the $4,000 war con-
tracts because it was waiting to
see whether the Justice Depart
ment, was successful in prose-
cutting the fraud cases already
referred to it.
Representative George Bender
(R., Ohio), subcommittee chair
man, said that study of the con-
tract settlement audits might
show "excess payment in the
neighborhood of $500,000."

of Secretary Lewis Schwellen-
bach's top aides in an address
here to the Building & Con-

by 800, I feel my usefulness Is
about terminated" He added

from the ranks of labor to take
my place.

Lose One
Win One

Organized labor's congress
sional election score became
one won and one lost last
week as Philip Storch, backed
by the AFL, CIO, Railroad
Brotherhoods and independent
union groups, was defeated by a
Republican in his bid for a
vacant seat in the House of
Representatives.
In Congressional district
counting $4,000 registered Re-
publicans and 46,000 Democrats,
Storch polled 30,178 votes to
47,028 for Franklin H. Lichten-
walter, speaker of the state
House of Representatives.
In the industrialized sections
Storch made a strong showing.
He lost Allentown, Pa. by small
margin of 603 votes. His defeat
in Bristol was by 81 votes, in
Quak kerville by 169 and in
Sellersville by three. Storch, an
ex- Marine and president of the
Lehigh Valley Newspaper Guild
CIO, campaigned on a platform
calling for repeal of the Taft
Hartley law.
The United Labor Division of
the Storch-For-C Congress Com
mittee issued a statement signed
by AFL, CIO and RIB officials
which said, eve carried seven
of the eight wards in Allentown
w h ere we concentrated our
forces. We've just begun to fight.
We don't consider the vote a
on the ft-Hartley
law issue"
The Republicans fought the
campaign chiefly on the issue
that a COP defeat would mean
rule by Outside radical union
1t was clear that
of the large farm vote in
Bucks County was influenced by
this propaganda.

week of two page list of big
shot businessmen who accord
ing to the Treasury Department
earn more than the President of
the United States, The Machin-
ist, weekly newspaper of the
Int'l Association of Machinists,
came to the conclusion that 'Mr.
Truman is the most underpaid
individual in the country - at
$4,000 a year." Assuming that
living costs must be higher at
the White House too," The
MachiniSt editorial claims that
"The President of the U. S. and
Commander-in- Chief of our

the nation as a proprietor of mo-

editor of the Readers Digest, or

fidavit was that it was "ab-

that the affidavits be filed.
With many CIO officials al
ready on record as opposed to

In line with the action

Action Committee in its Con-

in Cleveland, the Luc a S
County PAC through its chair
man, Clayton Rusch is urging
early registrations by CIO mem
bers employed in Toledo and
Lucas County plants.
Mr.. Rusch was particularly
concerned with voters who have
moved since the 1946 elections.
Anyone who has changed their
residence since last November
must notify the Board of Elec-
tions of their new address If
they are going to vote in the
municipal elections" he said. He
urged all who have moved to
see their plant chairman who
will supply them with postcard
forms to be mailed to the Board
of Elections.
Glenn Holewinski, executive
PAC assistant manager in dis
cussing the PAC drive to step
up registrations for this years
election said that auto caravans
would be run again to the Board
of Elections Superior St. office
during plant lunch hours.
Particulars of the plan will be
provided to each shop chairman
who will also be supplied with
a list of the employees in his shop
who have lost their eligibility
to vote. The last registration
brought about last fall by PAC
efforts is expected to be dupli-
Gated this year according to Mr..
Holewinski.
