Steel Fights
All Controls

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (LPA)
The nations steel industry has
become frightened at the re-
suits of its scarcity planning
but not so frightened that it
can't fight any possible govern
ment controls that the emer-
gency Congress might impose in
response to President Truman's
request.
The first scare came last week
when the Federal Trade Com
mission cited the American Iron
& Steel Institute and 101 steel
producers for conspiracy to fix
prices and to limit production.
The New York Journal of
Commerce, big business daily,
reported last week that the in
dustry, which has refused to eX-
pand capacity to meet domestic
and foreign needs, is ready to
fight any price or, ALLEGATION
controls. The steel industry, ac-
cording to the paper, will fight
domestic or, as it calls it, poll
tical ALLEGATIONS to the last ditch
1t also goes without saying that
the managements are opposed
to any price control"
Meanwhile the tight steel sup
ply is hitting more cities and
more industries. New York
manufacturers using steel were
so desperate that they
are now searching midwest and
southwest markets for flat
rolled steel. Previously Chicago
manufacturers reported that
steel allotments, despite capacity
production had been cut 500
in the last 80 Gays.

Church Group
For Employment

ATLANTA (LPA) - Enact
ment of a Full Employment
Act guaranteeing work to all
without regard to race, reli-
gion or nationality was urged
by the Methodist Church Con-
ference melting in Gainesville,
Georgia, last week. Frank Nc
Callister, director of the Geor-
gia Workers Education Service,
told the meeting that he ques-
toned the social morality of
the NAM, "who contend that a
reserve of unemployed is
normal and good for the coun-
try."

T aft Laws
Peace IS
Myth

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26
( LPA)-The Taft-Hartley law
was pushed through the Con-
. gress because it would pre-
sumably advance industrial
+ peace and reduce strikes.
The Taft-Hartley sponsors
were given something to think
about last week as the National
Labor Relations Board proved
that the law has not given man
agement the peace" it hoped
for Probably the contrary.
At the end of October, the
NLRB found that it had the
greatest backlog of pending cases
in its 11-year existence. The
Taft-Hartley law went into eff
feet on Aug. %. During Octo-
Der 964 cases were filed, and
Of these 351 were charges
brought against employers for
unfair labor practices; 80 were
charges of unfair labor practices
brought against unions.
Individuals Bring Charges
- NLRB summary reported
that of the 351 charges of un-
fair labor practices, brought.
against employers, huge major
ity was brought by individuals.
The totals showed 301 charges
filed by individuals, 26 by AFL
unions, 10 by CIO unions and IA
by independent unions.
Of the SO charges of unfair
labor practices brought against
unions, 46 were filed by em-~
ployers and employer associa-
tions, IL were filed by individ--
uals, and two were filed by in
dependent unions. None were
filed by either AFL or CIO affil-
iates. "'f
Collective bargaining election
petitions totaled $40 during the
month, with las filed by AFL
unions and 40 by CIO. Inde--
pendent unions filed 10 and

Labor Is Aiding
Friendship Train

NEW YORK (LPA) = Anne
ricans expressed their thanks
giving this year with 200 box
cars of food making up the
Friendship Food Train for a
hungry Europe. The voluntary
contributions included car
load of flour from the United
Steelworkers-CIO. The Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen
volunteered their services to
operate the train; the American
Federation of Musicians-AFL
contributed eight 40-piece
bands for its Hollywood send
off, and Int'l Brotherhood of
Teamsters' locals in many ci-
ties furnished men to load and
pack boxcars. Congress will
still be debating official U. S.
aid when the first shipload of
friendship food arrives in
France for the New Year.

AVG Hits Discrimination

WASHINGTON = (LPA) -
Calling the report of the Presl-
dents Committee on Civil
Rights "both heartening and
shocking" Natl AVG Chair
man Chat Paterson last week
called on all chapters of the
Americans Veterans Committee
to launch an immediate pro
gram to publicize and imple-
ment the "basic reaffirmation
of Americas democratic prin-
ciples" made in the report. Pat
erson said that the report was
heartening because of its un-
compromising definition of Am
erican ideals and shocking be-
cause it reveals how far short
of these ideals we have fallen.

HOUSING Crisis

WAS HING TON, Nov. 26
(LPA)-With the results of a
nationwide survey of the hous-
ing situation soon to be COM
piled, the Joint Congressional
Committee on Housing last week
completed its first series of hear
ing in every part of the nation.
Drafting of a committee report
will probably wait until further
hearings, scheduled for Novem-
ber but postponed because of
the specially-called session of
Congress, can be completed.
In sessions in Newark, N. j.
and Boston, Congressmen were
told the facts and figures about
the housing crisis by union
spokesmen. CIO state council
representative Albert G.. Clifton
told the Boston hearings about
a typical New England indus
trial city, Worcester. There are
100000 people in Worcester.
Right now, there are 800 to
1000 evictions pending in local
courts.
The Worcester Story
The Worcester story, COM
piled by Local 1886 of the
United Steelworkers-CIO, shows
that only Sal dwelling units
were covered by building per-
mits between January l and
November this year. Virtually
none of the new housing sells
at under $4,000 or rents for
less than $50 a month, though
veterans on the average can af-
ford a $4,000 house or SAL
rent.
The NJ sSa h us e t S CIO
Spokesmen urged Congress to set
up a Natl. Construction Author
ity empowered to stimulate
greater production of building
The Wagner-Ellen-
der-Taft housing bill will be a
dead letter" if the supply of
building materials is not in
creased, the CIO men asserted.
Both in Newark and in New
York, heads of the building
trades councils appeared to We
nemently deny reports that AFL
unions were slowing
down production of housing.
The New York sessions were
conducted by a House Labor
subcommittee.

Union Tax
Fizz Out

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26
(LPA)-The threat to tax
trade union treasures fiz-
zled out here last week but
the danger of a possible tax
on the nations co-ops increased
as hearings of the House Ways
g. Means Committee continued
with the Republican majority
heckling coop representatives.
The idea of taxing union
treasures was originally a big
business notion, but one liberal
Congressman disclosed last week
that neither the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers nor the
u. S. Chamber of Commerce
would dare propose the union
tax because their organizations
are tax-exempt under the same
clause of the law.
Calhoun Is Spokesman
The committee continued to
hear witnesses demanding that
coop patronage refunds" be
taxed. Chief spokesman for the
drive to tax co-opS "out of exist
ence" was Leonard c. Calhoun,
attorney for the National Tax
Equality Association. The NTEA
instigated the campaign for tax
ing of co-ops and according to
President James Patton, of the
National Farmers Union, the
NTEA's fund raising activities
are so phony that Congress
should investigate the organiza-
ton.
Eugene L. Hensel, counsel for
the National Association of Co
operatives, told the Republican
dominated committee that any
taxation of patronage refunds
would be unconstitutional and
that farmers co-ops would ap-
peal to the Supreme Court if a
fov is yoronocoJ
Will Appeal Tax
The big business campaign
against the co-ops is represented
by zone of the most sinister and
vicious lobbies that has ever in
vaded Washington" Rep. Wright
Patman 3D., Tex told the COM
mittee. Contending that a de
ceitful and untrue campaign is
being conducted" Patman echo
ed Patton's demand for an in
vestigation of the NTEA.
Patman contended that the CO.
op tax would be unconstitu-
tional since refunds by a far
mers' buying organization to its
members are not income but are
savings; dividends by a market
ing cooperative to its members
belong to the members and are
subject to tax in the hands of
its members"
