T-HLow Begins
Showing Effects
On Union Actions

Washington (LPA)-One of the
first activities of the joint Senate
House Labor Committee set up un-
der the Taft Hartley law will be to
make an intensive study of 20
firms-10 of them having good
labor relations, and 10 having bad
labor relations. This was announc-
ed by Chairman Joseph Ball (R.,
Minn.), last week.
In addition, the 14-man commit
tee will hold hearings and make
studies of the workins of the Taft
Hartley law with view of re-
commencing promptly any changes
found to be necessary or desirable" "
Ball announced.
Tom Shroyer, who has served as
counsel to the Senate Labor Com
mittee, was named as counsel and
Edward McCave, now on Balls
staff, will be executive assistant.
Meanwhile, last week, at least
two suits were filed by manage
ments in federal courts against
unions using secondary boycotts.
Also, the Justice Dept has set up
a special staff Of more than 25 to
begin operations under the Taft
Hartley law.
The more spectacular secondary
boycott took place in Washington.
Several workers from the Arthur
Murray Dance Studios in New
York where the United Office &
Professional Workers-CIO is de-
manding severance pay and a fair
system of rehiring, proceeded to
establish conga-picket line out
side the Arthur Murray studios
here.
The owner of the studios, who
claimed that she only operates un-
der license using the Arthur
Murray name, and has no other
connection with the New York or
ganization, obtained an injunction
to stop the picketing.
In the other case, in New York
City, the Independent Fur Manu-
facturers Assn charged that the
president of the Furrier Joint
Council-CIO and the Fur Whole
salers Assn Of America had en-
gagged in a conspiracy to compel

(2) that some of the Taft Hartley
provisions had been recommended
by him; (3) that he is a pal of
Gerard Reilly, former NLRB mem
Der, who helped draft the Taft
Hartley monstrosity.
Denham also went so far as to
say that he would not have any
man on his staff who was not in
sympathy with the law. The hear
ing also brought out the fact that
much of Denham's career was de-
voted to financial affairs and bank
liquidations.
Gray also declared he endorsed
the Taft-Hartley law, but he add
ed significantly: "Laws alone won't
solve the labor problem; we must
have understanding between work
ers and management"
Opposition centered primarily on
former Senator Murdoch, because
of his long record of progressivism
and friendliness to labor. He was
subjected to long grilling by Sen
ator Joseph Fl. Ball (Rep., Mimi
and by Senator Arthur Watkins
(Rep., Utah, who defeated Muir
dock in the last campaign.
Both tried to show that Murdock
was "too pro-labor" to administer
the law properly. Murdock stuck
by his guns, however. He declared
bluntly that he had not changed
his philosophy.
He refused even to say that he
fully endorsed the Taft Hartley
Act and would not go beyond say
ing that he supported the "objec-
tives" of the law and was "hope-
full" such detectives would be full
filled.
Congress has enacted a law and
it is on the statute books" he said.
1T is entitled to my respect and
adherence"
Whether or not it is a good act
or a bad act depends on its every
day application to the people who
are affected by it. OF course,
sympathize with the purpose of the
act. | hope it will work out"
The vote in the Senate Labor
Committee was IL to 0 in favor of
Denham. The vote was 9 to 3 on
Gray and Murdock, both of whom
were apparently too pro-labor for
Senators Ball (R., Minn.), Taft
CIR, Ohio) and Jenner (R., Ind.).

Comment On World Events

President Truman effectively
stated the case for additional I'm
tied States help to Europe in his
special report to Congress on the
economic welfare of the nation.
"The United States," he said in
part, 'has indicated it's readiness
to consider further aid toward re-
construction in Europe if the for
eign countries themselves present
a plan that makes such help truly
effective. We must continue to help
other countries help themselves,
until the reconstruction of their
own economies reaches the point
where they are able to pay their
way by exchange of goods and SER
vices.
"The possibility of additional
foreign aid programs makes it all
the more necessary to appraise the
impact of exports on the domestic
economy during the last six mon
tbs. A large excess of exports over
imports occurring at a time of in
fiationary pressure has created
some strain on the economy. But
this strain is of moderate proper
tions and will be of temporary dur
alton. Our exports have not neces-
STATED undue denial at home,
where our standards Of living are
much higher than before the war
"These exports for the aid of
other countries are directed toward
the winning of the peace-they are
at the core of this nations foreign
policy"
Before the war, worldwide ex-
perience had amply proved that
free enterprise under a democratic
form of government provides the
highest living standards for work
ers. Figures published in 1910
show the amount of food which
could be bought with the wages re-
ceived for one hour Of factory work
in different countries. To measure

by a tragedy. P. o. Peterson, the
Brotherhood's veteran genera
chairman on the SIP who lead the
union in the battle, died Of heart
attack while appearing before an
Emergency (Fact-Finding) Board
which had been appointed by Pre-
sident Truman to pass upon the
dispute.
Earlier, the Brotherhood had re-
fused to call off the strike despite
appointment of the board, because
the SP had ignored recommends
tions upholding the union made by
a similar board in just about the
same controversy back in 1915.
The strike, incidentally, was
marked by complete solidarity of
the rail unions. Other railroad un-
ionists refused to cross Locomotive
Engineers picket lines.
Prior to his death, Peterson
made it clear that the strike was
MT "called- Off, but merely post
poned. The parties are still to ne
gotiate, he said, on five additional
rules and on backlog of 400 in
dividual grievances. Failure to set
tie these may lead to renewal of
the strike.
Peterson also made it clear to
the public that "the interruption of
service need not have happened if
the company had been willing to
negotiate in good faith"
However, the management dem
onstrated desire to fight its case
in the public press and many un-
fair statements were published"
he said. "We were unable to get
our story told in the daily papers
and the facts we gave were often
twisted"
Two other Brotherhoods the
Railroad Trainmen and the Rail
way Conductors-are still at odds
with the SIP over issues similar to
the Locomotive Engineers. Mem
bers of both unions on that rail
road have authorized strikes by
99To majorities, and if the manage
ment doesn't soon settle, they also
may fix strike dates.

the 'sreal' wage, basket of food
was. used containing the items
necessary for adequate nourish-
ment. An average American family
of 5 would use A such baskets per
day.
One hours work in the U. S.
would buy 2.S3 baskets of food; in
Britain, 1.26; in France, 1923; in
Belgium, Ill; in Germany, 1.02; in
Italy, 0.65 and in Russia, ,0.40. 1t is
significant that with the wage for
one hours work, the American
worker could buy Z times as much
food as the Russian worker; he
could provide one days food for
family of 5 by working 1Rhours,
while it would take the Russian
worker 10 hours to earn the same
amount.

Still uneasy about the chance
that the Taft-Hartley law will be
interpreted to prohibit daily news

They Can Get It for You Wholesale!

MONTPELIER, Ohio-This city of 4,000 population has become a mecca for automobile dealers since Michigan authorities have begun Investigating automobile tit e transfers on Michigan used car lots. Just south of the Michigan border and only l40 miles by high way from Detroit; Montpelier's weekly automobile auction-for dealers only-has developed into a spectacular show featured by brick bidding and high prices.
 An observer reports at least l50 cars sold in six hours on an aver age day with most of the cars. of fered for sale bearing Michigan license plates.
 Most of the bidding is being done by dealers from Iowa, Ten nessee and Texas. Observers are impressed by the insistence of sell CTS on the highest possible prices, many of them refusing to let cars go at bid prices which do not measure up to expectations. One observer says he saw a bid of S2,200 rejected as too low for a 1947 Chevrolet which cost $1 ,375 .61 in Detroit.
 Among prices reported paid are the following:
 A Studebaker Commander, which sells new without accessor- ies, for $2,OOO, went for $2,610.
 A Buick super convertible, cost
