RusSions Arrest
Former UAW-

WASHINGTON, April 9 -
Richard Deverall, labor adviser
to Gen. Douglas Macarthur ano
former educational director oi
the United Auto Workers-CIO
was arrested and kept under
armed guard by Soviet military
authorities during a recent visit
of World Federation of Trade
Unions delegation to northern
Korea, the International News
Service reported last week.
The ms dispatch said that
Deverall, as a representative OF
the Supreme Allied Command
e., chad been granted permis-
sion to enter the Soviet-occu-
pied zone just before the WFTU
mission left Seoul aboard a spe-
cial train" Deverall was quoted
as telling correspondents:
The delegation returned to
Seoul after investigating labor
conditions In the Soviet zone.
The unionists visited silk and
tobacco factories assorted by
armed Russian soldiers, the
news agency said. II never saw
a place so stiff with tommy
guns" Ernest Bell, British
member of the delegation, was
quoted as saying.

Raymond Hutchinson: There
will be a hell of a lot more
strikes. If they do away with the
closed shop we may not have
any union. I think amending the
Wagner Act would cause a dis
respect for the law almost as
bad, or maybe worse than we
had under prohibition. You can't
legislate human nature out of
people. Labor conditions would
be worse and our plants would
see labormanagement relations
back where they were before the
unions. l can remember how it
was before the unions came in
under the Wagner Act. I believe
that the unions have created
peace for the workers and for
decent employers. People know
what the unions have really
done and the workers will fight
for their rights agin as they
fought before.

Other Taft Proposals
Other Taft bargaining points
were expected to include the
following: Permit individual
employees or an employer to re-
quest an NLRB election. p
Ban strikes to force recognition
by an employer of a union not
certified as a bargaining agent
3-Deprive foremen and super
visory employees of collective
bargaining rights and possibly
also so-called professional en-
ployes. 4-Restrict union health
and welfare funds. 5-Require
union registrations and annual
financial reports. 6-Ban Sec
ondary boycotts and jurisdic-
tional strikes. Give indivi-
dual employees the right to go
over the head of their collective
bargaining agent in presenting
grievances.
8-Grant employers the right
Of "free speech" which labor
has contended actually means
the right of intimidation. g.
Emasculate the NLRB by TAX
ing away its administrative func-
tions. 10-Prohibit the NLRB
from consulting with trial ex-
aminers in reaching decisions.
Labor lawyers and the pro-
labor minority of the Labor
Committee declared that it was
nearly certainty that the Sen
ate bill would be written on
the Senate floor. Extreme legis-
lation would almost certainly
ALLEVIATE the crucial committee

Morse (R. Ore.,) Aiken IN. H.

Democratic vote Taft can count

be Ellender (La) Neither Sen
ate nor House bill can possibly

CIO TangIes
With SEP On
Labor Costs

wASHIN TON, April ?
(LPA)-The CIO last week hit
out at the Saturday Evening
Post for charging editorially that
CIO economics are off base in
contending that labor costs re-
present only 16% of the value
of the product.
"If we are telling a half
truth" said Director Kermit Eby,
of the CIO Research and Educa-
ton artm mt, then the
federal government, through the
Census ureau of the Commerce.
Department, is also telling half
truth, because the figures used
by us are taken directly
from the last Census of Manu-
featuring.
1.-THE CIO believes that in
dustry can absorb increased
wage costs out of high profit
margins, because wages repres-
ent only 16q6 on the average of
the value of the product in all
manufacturing industries. Just
as one industry is able to absorb
its increased cost so can all the
others, like coal, ele ctrtc |
energy and transportation. But
instead of absorbing their in
creased wage costs out of profits,
each passes these costs on TO its
consumers"
The CIO challenged the SEP
to "ioin with us in requesting
Congress TO appropriate the
necessary funds to: 1-conduct an
up-to-date census of manufactur-
ing, and 2-develop studies on
labor costs, material costs and
production costs, plant by plant,
industry by industry, and for
the whole economy"

ACTU Involved
In UE Battle

PITTSBURGH, April 9 (LPA)
A new and vitriolic storm
over Communism in the United
Electrical, Radio & Machine
Workers-CIO brewed last week
following a harsh attack on the
Association of Catholic Trade
Unionists by UE Organization
director James J. Matles.
The attack was quickly con-
demned by members of the UE
Committee for Democratic Ac-
ton, by the 17,00O-member UE
Westinghouse local, by the
stewards council of UE Local
638, and by Secretary Joseph
A. Goney, of the CIO Steel City
Industrial Union Council here.
Matles, who has frequently
been charged with following
the Communist Party line, in
volved the ACTU in the battle
in a pamphlet tilted "The Mem
bers Run This Union," purport-
ing to be a reply to recent ar
ticles in the Saturday Evening
Post.
"Undemocratic and authori-
tartan to the asst degree" said
the Matles pamphlet, "the
ACTU operates to impose its
program and policies upon labor
unions by capturing key per-
sonnel and favors the extension
of undemocratic methods in
trade unions to perpetuate the
power of ACTU puppets, the
thru them the domination of
ACTU over the unions"
Carey Is Attacked
CIO secretary tr easurer
James B. Carey 'fs such a pup
pet" continued MatleS, "but a
puppet without a union to gov
ern for his masters. The ACTU
has been working ever since
his custer to restore him to
power and has organized in our
union the 'UE Committee for
Democratic Action headed by
its puppet Carey"
The first rebuke came from
the executive board of the big
Westinghouse local which, by
voice vote, refused to accede to
the internationaPs proposal that
they buy a large quantity of
the pamphlets.
Joseph A. Goney, who is di-
rector of District II, United
Steelworkers-CIO, declared flat
ly that "Matles' statement is a
fabrication of falsehoods. The
ACTU has never had any am
bitions to dominate the labor
movement, much less to do so
by authoritarian or undemo-
cratic methods. The Matles
statement was designed, not as
an attackAon the ACTU thought
it amounted to that, but as al
disguise to rip apart the char
acter of James B. Carey, who
has fought for genuine democ-
racy in the labor movement for
years. 1t was shallow dis
guise at that"
Meanwhile the UE admins
tration was handed a sharp set
back in Bridgeport, Conn. where
it had lifted the charter of Lo-
cal 203, representing 5000 Gen
eral Electric employees on the
grounds that the local had ex-
PEELED rs members as alleged |
Communists or CP followers.
Superior Court Judge J. A.
Cornell ruled that the revoca-
ton was invalid because no
charges were filed against the
local by the International and
no hearings were held.

ADA Movement
Is Assisted
By Lobor Hedds

WASHINGTON, April 9 -
/ (LPA) - Americans for Demo
cratic Action, a new national
and anti-Communist political
movement, was formally estab-
lished here last week after three
months of organizing activity
throughout the country.
With AFL and CIO leaders
joining in the creation of con-
stitution and program of action,
$50 delegates from religious,
farm, student and union groups
pledged the new organization to
a vigorous grass roots fight on
both domestic and foreign is
sues.
Wyatt Head Group
Elected as ADA's national Of
ficerS were: Wilson Wyatt, for
mer u. S. Housing Expediter
and ex-mayor of Louisville, ma
tional chairman; Leon Hender-
son, former OPA administrator,
chairman of the executive COM
mittee; Mayor Hubert H. Hum
phrey of Minneapolis, and
Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., vice
chairman.
Members-at-large of the ma
tional board inslude: President
Harvey Brown, International
Association of Machinists; Pres
ident David Dubinsky, of the
International Ladies Garment
Workers-AFL; President Sal B.
Coffman, Upholsterers Interna.
Stional Union-AFL; Barney Tay-
lor, organizer, National Farm
Labor Union-AFL; George Ed
wards, president, Detroit City
Council; Monroe SWeetland,
publisher, Melalla, Ore; viii.
liam Evjue, editor, Madison,
Wisconsin.
Communists Barred
Adopted without a dissent
was a constitutional provision
barring Communists and Fas-
cists, but at the same time the
convention went on record
against moves to "illegalize or
deny freedom of expression to
any minority group or party"
President Trumans plan for
aid to Greece was supported,
but delegates urged that "the
United Nations be Immediately
strengthened so that it will have
the military legal and financial
power to deal with problems
such as the present Greek
crisis"
Mayor Humphrey place d
heavy emphasis on the fact that
ADA would not be a "resolv-
ing" organization but would
concentrate on genuine political
action on both state and ma
tional levels. 1t was s,ress~ !.
by Franklin d. Roosevelt Jr.
and other ADA officials at a
press conference that the new
group was not projected as a
possible third party or even as
its foundation.
ADAs domestic program
stressed the rights of organized
labor and strongly opposed un-
ion-wrecking legislation.
On full employment, the ADA
condemned without qualifica-
tion what appears to be a de-
liberate decisin on the part of
the Congressional leaders of the
Republican Party to undermine
these initial steps at planning
by refusing to act on the first
Economic Report of the Presi-
dent. Instead of moving from
full employment for war to sus-
tanned full employment for
peace, we are moving through
a boom toward a bust"
Other issues on which the
convention took positive action
were: atomic energy, agricul. |
ture, social security, taxation,
education and research, civil lib /
critics, veterans, housing and
rent controls, immigration and
conscription.

ing those mines before and for
not closing them down before
those Ill men died"
Lewis ripped mercilessly into
Krug whom he characterized as
"this modern Hercules with the
number IL shoe and the sizes
five hat" He was heavily scorn-
ful of the Interior Secretary'S
boast that he had reduced the
monthly average of mine fatali-
ties from 95 to IS.
Members Silent
Committee members were
silent while Lewis intoned the
tragic record of the mining in
dustry during the past six years.
From 1912 to 1947, he said,
there were 322,637 accidents in
the industry with 1929 fatali-
ties leaving thousands of
widows and thousands of chill
dren" During the first war year,
he related, "our casualties in the
mining industry exceeded the
casualties in all our armed
forces"
Meanwhile, three separate in
vestigations were in progress in
an effort to assign responsible
ity for the murderous explosion
at the Centralia mine which had
been repeatedly condemned as
unsafe by state and federal in
spectors.
One probe by a citizens COM
mittee appointed by Illinois
Gov. Dwight Green was headed
by the states attorney general.
A second was voted by the state
senate at Green's request, and
the third was undertaken by a
special u. S. Senate subcommit-
tee.
Proof Piles Up
New proof piled up that the
mine was known to be unsafe
and should never have been
permitted to operate. State
Mine Inspector Driscoll o. Scan
Ian testified he pleaded in
March l945 for authority to
close the mine because he fear
ed an explosion would kill every
man in it.
Federal Mine Inspector Frank
PERI testified that last Novem-
Der he found at least so viola
tions of the federal code and on
March II recorded "numer-
Gus" safety violations.
Twenty-four separate funer-
ais and a community memorial
service were held for the Ill
men in a grief-stricken Cen
tralia. And across the country
people were reading in their
newspapers the words written
by dying miners to their ioved
ones,

EGGS
 While production of eGGs is high, consirnp- tion has exceeded all previous records. Economists who make a study of con slnp ion trends predicted the American publ ic would consume $50 to 36O eggs per capita during 1947 compared with 382 in l946. Consmtp- tion figures for January and February, just available, indicate con sUners used eggs the first two months at the rate of 4o3 eggs per year, uith the reBalt that comp Darat ively few eggs are finding their way to storage.
 The texture of an egg is the key to it's freshness If the egg is fresh the white will be thick and viscous, and the membrane surrounding the yo1k will be tough. Both becU one thinner with time.

Anti Damage Suit

New York City - WDL- There is

ers Defense Leagues committee 10

ley law.

Flowers for alleged breach OF contract.
the act does not alter the o~ontractual

the committees statement which a

new. There is nothing improper in
limiting the remedies FOR alleged vlo-

ones.
There is no question OF the rlsht
of two businessmen TO limit their
remedies for contract breach 10 arbl-
tration even though the courts are
authorized to dispose Of such matters.
A union and an employer may likewise
limit the remedies. The biased ma

such limitation necessary
