Sugar Growers Warned
On Child Labor

Washington, d. C. OLNS)-
The Production and Marketing
Administration of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has sent
reminders to all state agriculture
adjustment committees that sugar
beet and sugarcane growers are
liable to deductions from benefits
payments for noncompliance with
the child-labor provisions of the
Sugar Act. The act states that de-
ductions of $40 shall be made for
each day on which child under Ia
years of age is employed or on
which a child IA or Is years of age
is employed more than an S-hour
day.
During the war years regular in
spectiOns of the fields were largely
discontinued. In May, 1947 instruc-
tions were given county commit
tees to arrange for the inspection
of enough fields to ensure COM
pliance with the child labor provis-
ions of the act. 1t is the employers
responsibility to obtain proof of
age for any child employed on the
crop.

Washington (LPA)-Completely

Subcommittees investigation OF
"racketeering" in the musicians
union, Pres. James Petrillo of the
American Federation of Musicians
AFL last week worked out agree
rnents with. committee of music
educators and representatives of
the, armed forces bands, on record
ings and radio broadcasts by these
two non-commercial groups.
/ Announcement of the settlements
was made by Subcommittee Chair
man Carroll Kearns (R., Pa.) who
indicated that while the AIM pre-
sident and the armed forces spokes-
men obtain ratification of the
agreements, he believed fair and
peaceful settlement had been
reached.
Basis of both settlements, which
have not been announced in detail,
is an agreement that recordings by
service bands will be sold without
profit by the recording companies,
and the music students broadcasts
will not compete with musicians
who have to earn a living thru
radio performances.

Ford Will We've
Domoge Suits
He Tells Union

Detroit tLPA)-President Henry
Ford End, Of the Ford Motor Co.,
last week attempted to head off
threatened strike of nearly 10000
of his employees by agreeing to
ignore aft-Hartley damage suits
in return for certain pledges from
the United Auto Workers-CIO.
The Ford proposal, an obvious
compromise with the unions de-
mand for straight exemption from
the liability provisions Of the law,
was presented by Ford to CIO Pre-
sident Philip Murray at a confer
ence in New York on July 30.
The UAW, Ford told Murray, sis
asking US to include in our new
agreement a provision which would
in effect nullify certain provisions
of the Taft Hartley law. This we
cannot agree to do. We have sug-
gested contract provision which
would leave no question as to our
good faith. We have, to be- speci-
fic, proposed that the company will
agree not to institute suit against
the union for damages arising out
of illegal strikes under the follow
ing good faith conditions:
"l-If the union has not inspired
or authorized such an illegal strike,
and 2-If the union will agree
promptly to denounce publicly such
an Illegal strike, and 3-If the un-
ion and it's responsible officers and
agents will agree to use prompt
and honest effort to prevent or end
any such illegal strike, and diff the
impartial umpire, who, by agree
ment with the union, decides other
points of difference arising out Of
our contract and who has always
had the complete confidence of
both the unions and the company,
can be the final Judge as to wheth-
er the union has taken these rea-
sonable steps in regard to illegal
strikes.
"In Short" said Ford, "this pro-
vision merely asks that the leader
ship Of the union act in good faith
and with reasonable diligence to
avoid illegal strikes or the threat
of such strikes. In turn, we are
pledging the good faith of Ford
Motor Co. not to claim damages if,
in the opinion of the impartial um-
pire, the union meets these reason
able conditions"
AS Ford was conferring with
Murray thousands of Ford workers
were already being laid off as the
result Of a parts shortage result
ing from a strike at the Murray
Body Plant where the UAW is on
strike to obtain a "Taft-proof"
contract. About $4,000 were laid
off at Ford because Of this dispute
and additional thousands at Chrys-
Ter, Dodge, Studebaker, and other
plants.

Charge Secret Plan
To Water Down FEPC

Washington (LPA)-Supporters
of the bill to discourage discrim-
ination in employment last week
charged that "a plan for render
ing this bill meaningless and pass
ing it in that form next year is
now in the making and will be re-
vealed shortly"
The assertion was made the day
that the Senate Labor Committee
voted its general agreement" with
the no-discrimination principle, but
decided to lay the FEPC bill over
until January when members would
have an opportunity to amend it.
The decision was announced by
Labor Committee Chairman Robert
Taft (R., Ohio).
According to some sources, men,
bers of the committee in executive
session heard suggestions that en-
forcement of the no-discrimination
bill might be turned over to local
law enforcement officers, a propos-
al that would effectively negate the
intentions of the bill introduced by
Senators Irving Ives (R., N. W
and Dennis Chavez 3D., N. M.).
Such a formula, stated Chair
man A. Philip Randolph of the
Natl Council for a Permanent
FEPC, would be a meaningless
and insulting legislative gesture"

Germans Express
Gratitude For
American Aid

New York City ILNS). - Ack-
nowledgment Of recent donations
for CARE packages to be distri-
buted to the German victims of the
Nazis in the American, British and
French zones Of occupation for the
purpose of aiding in the recon
struction of Germany has been re-
ceived here by the International
Solidarity Committee, 303 Fourth
Avenue, New York 10, New York,
Phil Heller, director of the Amer
lean aid group, announced here.
Expressing "our most sincere
gratitude for the understanding
and good will contained in the
gift" Eberhard Lohrmann, execu-
tive secretary of the German Cen
tral Committee of CARE, said in
his letter to the ISC:
at is impossible to express with
mere words the good being accom-
plished by the American people in
sending relief supplies to our war
torn country for distribution with
out discrimination as to political
views or religion"
Other Nations Helped
The German Central Committee,
authorized agent in Germany for
Cooperative for American Remit
tances to Europe, Inc, (CARE),
includes among it's members such
private welfare agencies as the
Arbeiterwohlfahrt, Caritas Ver-
band, the German Evangelical
Churches and the Red Cross.
In explaining that Germany Is
only one of the countries in which
the International Solidarity Com
mittee "hopes to contribute its
modest share for regeneration"
Heller added that the International
Solidarity Committee has been
particularly successful" in mar
shalling the aid of individual Am
ericans who adopt Europeans and
send food and clothing directly to
the concentration camp victims,
their families, the fighters in the
European underground and their
survivors.
$500 Families Aided
"Not Germany alone, but France,
Italy, Austria and Norway are
among the countries where we
have established links in the chain
of international solidarity Through
the committees adoption program,
$500 European families are being
helped each week by Americans
who realize that there can be no
peace in the world as long as hung
er and sickness, but more import
ant, despair and isolation, still
stalk the war-torn nations" he
said.

Cities Turninq
1o7heirOWn
Electric Power

Chicago QLNS). - Spearheaded
by localities in Nebraska and
Tennessee, governmental units in
increasing numbers are buying
electric power facilities, the Amer
lean Public Works Association
says.
Nebraska and Tennessee are the
first states to have all electric util-
tiles publicly owned. Throughout
the nation, there are some 3,4O0
cities now served by electric sys-
TENS owned by municipalities, CO.
operatives, or public power dis
tricts. Last year an estimated 1CO
or more cities bought or created
municipal electric utilities, follow
ing an increase of 10 cities in
1915. Greatest concentration of
publicly-owned electric facilities is
in Tennessee Valley states, the
middle west, and states bordering
the Gulf of Mexico.
The final link in public owner
ship of all Nebraska electric utili-
ties was completed this year when
the Omaha public power district
took title to the Nebraska power
company in a SAP million transac-
ton. There are at least 1927 other
Nebraska cities served by publicly
owned electric facilities.
In Tennessee, most municipal
and cooperative electric utilities
get their power through the Ten
nessee Valley Authority. Tennes-
see has more cities served by pub
licly-owned utilities than any other
state, with 374 served when last
counted. Nebraska is second, and
Iowa third with lat cities served.
Publicly-owned electric utilities
serve 146 cities in Kansas, 142 in
Texas, 140 in Ohio, 1877 in Mime
sofa, 129 in Alabama.
According to the Public Owner
ship League of America, public
ownership of electric utilities is
growing also on the Pacific Coast.
Many cities are being served by
the Bonneville Power Administra-
tion, third largest distributor of
public or private power in the u. S.

Article Tells Of 'Red-Licking'
Formula Used Successfully BY Unions

The special tactics and organiza
tional set up by which the big
needle trade unions defeated com
munist attempts to capture contro
are described in an article which
will appear in the Saturday Even
ing Post of August 9.
The article, entitled "How the
Garment Unions Licked the Com.
munists", is by j. c. Rich, editor OF
The Hat Worker, official publica
tion of the United Hatters, Car
and Millinery Workers lnterna.
tional Union, AFL.
The article points out that al.
though there are "more commun'
lists to the square foot of working
space" in the lofts where the ma
tons clothing is sewn, than in al
other industrial plants and centers
the apparel trade unions have con
tanned and stymied the party liners
more effectively than such organ
izations as the electrical or auto
mobile workers unions.
The garment workers licked the
communists not by superior cum
ing or novel subterfuge, Mr.. Rich
states, but in tactics which are
available to all other unions. The
prime objective must be to organ
ize the majority of the membership
in the labor organizations, he says
so as to defeat the communist stra-
tegy Of infltration and domination
by a minority of party liners, fel-
low travellers and fellow wander
ers.
The article lists in detail the
measures by which the majorityir
the apparel trades unions was mo.
bilized to combat the communists
1t tells of the committees which
exist in the unions for the special
purpose of rallying the member
ship on critical issues. Communist
attempts to divide the members or
racial and religious issues are also
cited as are the measures taken tC
counter these attacks.
The campaign strategy by which
the communists were defeated in
this years elections for office in
the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union where the commun-
lists are most strongly concentrat-
ed, is stressed. AS result of this
strategy, more than 10000 mem
bers participated in the balloting
and of these less than $4,000 voted
the communist ticket. In New York
where the communists are most
strongly entrenched, not single
candidate sponsored or endorsed
by the communists was elected to
office.
The article concludes with a
statement from David Dubinsky,
president of the ladies garment
union, to the effect that what his
organization has done any organ
ization could do.
"Americans who cherish their
liberties" he says, "and have been
dismayed by the communists skill
in infiltration, confusion and divis-
ion, need not despair. What our
members have done, others can do.
Communism can win only by the
default of soft and lazy demo-
cracy."

Demond Repeal
OF TIL Press Coq
Finds Support

washington lLPA) DEMANDS
for revision of the Taft-Hartley
law to eliminate or at least clarity
the press gag on political express
ion increased last week among
Congressman and daily newspapers
that have finally come to see more
than an implicit threat to freedom
of the press in the new restriction.
Following the lead Of Senators
Aiken (R., VT and Hatch 3D., N.
Mex.). Rep. Kenneth B. Keating
(R., N. Y.) introduced an amend
ment which he declared would
show Congress- intent mot to in
terfere or abridge in any way the
free publication of an expression of
political views either by corpora
tions or labor organizations"
Keating's brief amendment was
worded as follows: provided,
however, that it shall not be vio-
lation of this section for corpor-
alton or labor organization to
make expenditures in connection
with the publication or distribution
of newspaper or news magazine,
regularly published at stated inter-
walls not less frequently than mon
thly."
In a letter to The Labor News,
AFL paper in Keating's home town
of Rochester, the upstate Republi-
can defended his support of the
Taft-Hartley law but declared, "If,
however, legitimate labor news
paper disagrees | shall defend to
the limit it's right to publish any
fair comment in opposition. AS a
lawyer, | would welcome the op-
portunity to defend The Labor
News without compensation against
any charge that it's publication OF
truthful attack on me or other
members of Congress who voted
for the bill violates the law"
Also in Keating's home town,
the Rochester Democrat & Chro-
nicle Joined in the criticism. "Any
application of the law which would
prohibit anyone, union, corpora
tion or individual from writing and
publishing freely views on candi-
dates or on any other question
would be a direct violation of the
constitutional prohibition against
Congress abridging the right of
free. speech or a free press" said
the paper. "The free press right is
as much the right of the labor
press or of any other special press
as it is the right of the general
press. 1t is, fundamentally, the
right of any persons or group to
express themselves in print"
A score of bther papers agreed
with the New York Herald Tri-
bune's statement that "As this
section reads it would seem to for
bid either the general press, cor
porate owned, or the labor press
from expenditure on ink paper,
type or editorial talent to influence
the election Of federal officers or
their choice as candidates in pri-
maries, conventions or caucuses. In
other words, as studied by the
Justice Dept, it would appear to
be press gag which is clearly un-
constitutional and quite as clearly
also beyond the intent of Congress
in it's enactment"

The romantic interludes in 1.-THE
Hucksters" clearly presented a Sc
ries of problems to the screen
adapters of the novel. In addition to
the need to clean up the love story,
they we're confronted with the di-
1emma of how rough to let Norman
get without making him look as
crude as old man Evans Actress
Kerr is so much the English lady
that only a restrained Gable be-
longs in the same film with her.
There are moments when it is diff
cult to tell whether this restraint is
impeding Gable or whether it is
just because he has grown a little
tired
Actually, the best elements of sa-
tire in the screen "Hucksters' are
those achieved by the set designers.
The huge dimensions and fossy
modernity they have treated as the
background for Wakeman's antic
characters have a high flavor of
irony for overpowering, upstart
salesmanship.
In the hands of such experts as
Greenstreet, Menjou, Edward Ar
mold and others, Wakeman's charac-
tiers emerge as carricatures at
which audiences must have many
a hearty laugh.
The author of the original, of
course, may feel they are laughing
more lat" than sardonically with"
him.
No doubt there will be lot of
them, too, for THE Hucksters" Is
pretty funny Hollywood.
