Murray Backs
Greek Relief

PIT T S B u r C H, Aug. 13
(LPA)--CIO President Philip
Murray last week hailed the
aims and the labor spokesmen
on the u. S. Mission for Aid to
Greece.
"In Greece today, because OF
economic chaos, the Greek peo-
pie are confronted with extreme
political solutions of the left or
right" Murray said. Extremist
choices of that sort are not pos.
sible in a real democracy, and
real democracy is not possible
in a state of economic chaos"

the first indication of active CIO
support for the Truman Doc.

to hard-pressed nations which
need economic aid if they are

"The Greek people must be
helped to devise for themselves,
Murray asserted, "their own re-
sources orderly systems of law
enforcement, sound fiscal poll

progressive taxation, a sound
and honest internal police force
that will insure community
tranquility and integrity in local

Administrator Dwight Girls

has appointed as chief labor ad-
wiser Clinton Golden, former as
siStant to Murray in the United
Steelworkers. "Mr. Golden was
appointed on the mission with
the approval of the whole Amer

President Philip Murray, who
last month commended the

policy in withdrawing from
India, was critical last week of
refugees seeking to enter Pal

In a cable to British Foreign
Minister Ernest Bevin, Murray
said: However much we de-
plore the recent events in Pal

to the inhuman treatment of
the $500 refugees buffeted about
by British policy. Their forcible
return to Europe was not a full
fillment of your obligations. It
was a violation of all dictates

A wage increase of thirteen
and one-half cents across the
board, plus six paid holidays
and increased vacation benefits
was announced today by Clem
Holewinski, Local II Represen-
tative, in concluding negotia-
tions with officials of the
American Can Co. More than
$50 employees shared in the
raise in wages. n
The increased vacation behe-
fits are as follows. Employees
with nne 70 FIVE yeAra a=rrisfity
viii receive one weeks vacation
with pay; those with 5 to Is
years seniority will be entitled
to two weeks paid vacation; and

The registration for m,
which must be filed before a
union can obtain any status
before the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, was made public
last week without any Indication
on the printed form that the in
formation would be kept secret.
Labor leaders have expressed
concern that if employers had
free access to these statements,
which include detailed financial
reports, they could gage their
chances of outlasting the union
in a possible strike.
Nothing in the law requires
that the Labor Department must
make the data public, but II
unions decide to use the NLRB
they must send the same intor-
nation to their membership
The printed form released by
the Labor Department empha-
sizes that "this report must be
filed not only by any labor or
ganization desiring to raise any
such question before the Board
but also by any national or in
ternational labor organization
of which such labor Crganiza-
ton is an affiliate or constituent
part"
Unions Reject NLRB
Scores of AFL and CIO unions
have already indicated that
thev will not "do business
with the Taft Hartley version of
the NLRB and as a result the
case load of the Board has sud
denly plummeted from an aver
age of 1000 new cases month
to 200. In the face of this there
were indications that the NLRB
would not be able to exclude
the non-filing unions from rep
resentation disputes.

Unions To
Challenge
Labor Law

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Aug. 13
(LPA) - Organized labor - the
AFL, CIO and Railroad Brother
hoods will give the Justice Dept
a second opportunity to make a
test prosecution of the Taft
Hartley law next month.
The three labor groups in this
area together with large local
of the Intl Association of Mach
inists-unaffiliated are planning
an all-out election campaign to
send Philip Storch, former presi-
dent of the Lehigh Valley Amer
lean Newspaper Guild-CIO, to
Congress on Sept 8. Storch, q
former Marine running as a
Democrat, is a candidate to fill
the House seat vacated by the
death of reactionary Republican
Rep. Charles Gerlach.
The first test case was offered
to the Justice Dep't-which has
taken no action yet-last month
when the AFL and CIO cam
'paigned openly and successfully
in Baltimore for the election OF
Edward Garmatz, an AFL mem
Der and Democrat, for a vaca-
ted Congressional seat.
Given Good Backing
Nationally known members of
the writer's and artists colony
in this sectioon have pledged
Storch full support as has the
Farmers Union and Democratic
leaders in the strong farmers
cooperative movement in Le-
high. The union newspaperman
has the full endorsement of
President James j. McDevitt, of
the Pennsylvania Federation of
Labor and top rail labor officials
including President A. F. Whit
ney, of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen.
A joint labor committee has
practically been handed the task
of conducting Storch's campaign
by the Democratic Party in Le-
high County and this city. CIO
and AFL local leaders are ad-
dressing each others meetings
in the united drive to elect the
young liberal.
Unionists are concentrating
on the unspectacular job of es-
tablishing ward and precinci
committees to "get out the vote.
CIO President Philip Murray
again openly defied the Taft
Hartley law by asking the editor
of Steel Labor, monthly paper
of the United Steelworkers, t.
carry on page one his Statement
endorsing Storch. Last month
the CIO News carried a similar
page one statement by Murray
endorsing Garmatz.

save with safety and profit, buy
them regularly" says Director
GoSser.
1t has always been important
that money earned by hard
work be spent carefully and
wisely. Now, more than ever
before, while prices are out of
balance, it is important that
working people save as much as
they can. By going on this Pay
roll Savings Plan, and staying
on it, millions of Americans
have formed a thrifty habit
one of our real gains from the
war.
The purchase of United States
Savings Bonds will provide fu-
ture spending power that will
stabilize business and keep
people employed.

the enactment of the rob the

THE 80th Congress h a S
scorned the will of the people
It responds only to the dictates
of entrenched wealth. All that
is going to be changed"
The AFL president outlined
this ..housecleaning program
for the coming year:
First, the AFL and its affili'
ated unions will use their eco.
nomic strength to protect the
Interests of their membership ir
contract negotiations with en-
/ ployers so that some of the harsh
provisions of the Taft-Hartley
Act will not apply.
Secondly, we will use every
resource at our command tc
challenge the legality of the
slave-labor law in the courts
We are confident that a large
portion of it will be held uncon-
stitutional by the Supreme
Court.
Finally, we are determined
to unite, organize and concen-
trate our efforts on defeating for
reelection every member OF
Congress who voted for this
vicious law.

Rep. Hartley
To Fade Out

The S1st Congress, to be
elected in the fall of '48,
will not have the services
of Rep. Fred Hartley R.,
N. JD, cO-authOr of the
Taft Hartley Act.
The Jersey Congressman
announced that he would
stand by earlier announce
ments of his intention not
TO run for reelection from
his north Jersey district.
Hartley indicated at the
same time that the TIL Act
is still inadequate in many
respects - particularly in
regard to industry-wide
bargaining" Stating pride
in his work on the bill, he
said he'd devote his effort
to "remedying his de-
feet" when Congress re-
cOnvenes in January.

GM Prices Hikes
Hit BV Reu+her

DETROIT, Aug. 13 (LPA)-
The rise in retail prices of GIN
products ranging from $168 to
$57 on different car models, is
unjustified in view of the recent
report that GIN profits are the
highest in its history, United
Auto Workers-CIO President
Walter Reuther charged last
week.
If GIN was genuinely con-
cerned in cooperating in the ma
tional effort to curb initiation" F."
the Auto Workers president as.
serted, "1t could we'll afford to
offer price reductions several
times as large as the price in
creases which it has now in
flicted on the consumer"
Citing second quarter profits
figures - which were earned
while workers were collecting
their second round wage in
creases-the union asserts that
GIN could then have either:
(a) reduced the wholesale prices
of all its products by 10go; or
(b) reduced the wholesale prices
of cars and trucks by $500 each
while keeping unchanged the
prices of all its other products
service parts, Diesel engines
and locomotives, household ap-
pliances."
This would have meant, to
the millions of men and women
who have been waiting patiently
for new cars only to see the
price rise month by month while
they waited" that retail prices
of cars would have been reduced
from $125 to $3.50 for cars now
selling at $500.
