FOREMEN STILL HAVE
SOME RIGHT DESPITE
TIL Law, COURT TOLD

Washington (LPA) Even
though the Taft Hartley law de-
prives foremen of the right to bar
gain collectively, the Natl Labor
Relations Board still has the power
to order the reinstatement of dis
missed foremen, the Justice Dept
told the U. S. Supreme Court last
week.
The Vail Manufacturing Co., of
Chicago, had petitioned the court to
set aside an NLRB action in 1916
ordering the firm to reinstate two
discharged foremen with back pay.
The company contended that pas
sage of the Taft-Hartley law freed
them from any obligations to obey
the order.
The Justice Dept told the Su-
preme Court, "The two foremen in
volved had never been union men,
bers nor interested themselves in
any way in union activities. They
were discharged for their refusal
to participate in fraudulent plan
by which the company sought to
list them as non-supervisory en-
ployes on an eligibility list and to
have them vote against a union in
an election which the board was
conducting among non-supervisory
employees.
"The board found that the COM
pany, by attempting to pursuade
the foremen to engage in such un-i
lawful conduct and by discharging
them for their refusal commit
ted all unfair labor practice" which
woulo discourage non-supervisory
from membership in a
union. The Taft Hartley law does
not change the rights of non-sup-
ervisory employees in any respect
relevant to this case," the Court
was told.

AFL, CIO Leaders
Hear Appeal For
US. Labor Party

Chicago (LPA)-More than 200
AFL, CIO, coop and farm leaders
from all over the nation gathered
here last week to participate in the
8th Annual Midwest Workers Edu-
cation Conference sponsored by the
American Labor Education Serv-
ice.
Representing 67 different inter-
national unions, the labor delegates
joined the coop and farm repre-
sentatives in a series of discus
sion panels and workshops deal
ing with such subjects as collective
bargaining under new federal and
state legislation, labor's commun-
ity relations, maintaining union
strength in the face of initiation
and depression, and political action
for labor. Overall theme was "De-
filming and Advancing Labor's OBJ
jectives in 1947-48."
America needs labor party, the
conference was told by Herman
Finer, professor of political science
and economics at the University of
Chicago. After describing the orr
gins and the development of the
British Labor Party to government
power, Professor Finer stressed
the need of an American counter
part of the British Fabian Society
to furnish political directives and
plan strategy, collect information
and make it available to unions and
other groups.
Former Rep. Jerry Voorhis, in
one of the outstanding speeches,
warned of the dangers of deflation,
of the COPS "rob-the-poor" tax
program and the threat to social
security laws. He emphasized the
menace to all voluntary organiza-
tions of the people in the current
attack on the cooperative move
ment.

EEUTHER CONTENDS ]. S.
CYPPED OF 100000
BY GM,S PHONY FIGURES

Detroit (LPA)-President Wal
ter Reuther, of the United Auto
Workers charged last week that
General Motors profits have grown
$50 embarrassingly large that the
corporation is trying to lower the
iron curtain over part of them" +"
GINS third quarter financial re-
port, said Reuther, refers to pro-
vision "for extraordinary obsoles-
cence of building and for addition
al depreciation on machinery and
equipment"
The UAW chief cohtended that
"By the bookkeeping slight of hand
concealed behind these words, GIN
has caused to vanish some $6,000,-
600 of third quarter profits and
$17,500,000 for the first nine
months of this year.
eff the Internal Revenue Bureau
recognizes this extraordinary OBJ
solescence' and additional deprecia-
ton for tax purposes" said Reuth-
er, "the government will have been
defrauded of about $7,000,000 by
the crooked pencils of GINS accoun-
tantS.
"At the time the corporation is
sued it's report for the second quar-
ter, the UAW pointed out that the
figures showed it could have re-
duced it's prices by as much as $3.50
on $500 car and still have a gen.
erous 8 per cent return on it's in
vestment," Reuther asserted. en-
stead the corporation had no SOON
er released the figures on which
that calculation was based when
it proceeded reluctantly to raise
the prices of it's passenger cars by
from $57 to $168 a piece"

Ernest w. Gibson of Vermont. To
the question about private enter
prise, he answered bluntly, "no."
He went on to add that "if it were
not for rent control, rentals would
be forced so high as to force low in
come families out of all decent
housing facilities"
Said Democratic Gov. Jim Fol-
som of Alabama, zone only has
to look at the hundreds of fami-
lies in this state, and especially
veterans, living in places unfit
for habitation, the skyrocket rents,
ETC., to ascertain whether or not
private enterprise is taking care
of the situation or is even making
satisfactory progress"
COP Governor Luther Young
dahl of Minnesota lauded Sen.
Taft's recent statement on a speak
ing tour that he still planned to
press the General Housing Bill, and
added "it is our view that Congress
should do all things necessary to
get housing action started now and
to start sound permanent slum
clearance, housing and redevelop-
ment projects in the right direc-
ton without delay"
Bernard NJ. Baruch, elder states
man and adviser to the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt, wrote to Wagner
that Housing is only part-al-
though an important part-of the
whole. The national and interna-
tional situation are all part of one
piece. We have enemies without
who would war on us. We have
enemies from within who would
destroy US. The worst enemy with
in is initiation and that might de-
stroy the world, because if Amer
lea goes down, the world will go
down with it. | think you must
start at the bottom and cure the
disease, Of which the housing sit
uation is the symptom"
A complete compilation of the re-
plies is expected before the open
ing of the special session of Con-
gress Nov. II.

us. Building In dustrY
Unable To M eet HOUSING
Needs. Governors Agree

Washington (LPA) - Senators
Wagner ID, N. ", Ellender 3D.,
La.) and Taft (R., Ohio) are find
ing valuable support for the Gen
eral Housing Bill which the three
of them drafted, in the returns
pouring in from more than 4O0
questionnaires sent out by Sen.
Wagner.
The veteran New York legislator,
acting for the Joint Congressional
Committee on Housing, asked a
series of questions about slum
clearance and housing for low in
come families. The queries were
sent to the governors Of the 48
states, the mayor of every city over
$4,000 population, and to a varied
cross-section Of American public
leaders ranging from Bernard Ba-
ruch ard university presidents to
real estate and building industry
officials.
With all replies not yet in, out
Of more than 100 letters and local
reports received, there are not
more than handful who do not
answer "no" to Sen. Wagner's ques-
tion: will private enterprise be
able now or in the forseeable fu-
ture to provide decent housing, new
or old, for all low income families
now living in slums or other sub
standard housing, at rents or prices
within their ability to pay?"
With the exception of Virginia's
Democratic Governor William NJ.
Tuck, practically every state Off
cial asserted that, at least as far
as his state was concerned, there
wasn't chance that private build
ers would be able to work out a
program to meet the needs of low
er-income families. Said Tuck: at
is my feeling that private enter
prise probably would be able to go
much further toward meeting the
demands of today if it were freed
from controls that now exist and
which tend to diminish the price
lowering effects of free economy
J. by which | mean freedom to
hire labor at reasonable rates, as
well as free competition in other
fields"
Political party had little to do
with the replies. Every governor
from a highly-crowded industrial
state who has responded so far has
urged federal assistance to locai
slum-clearance and low-rent hous-
ing projects. COP Governor Thom-
as Dewey, an old-time political op-
ponent of Wagner's, had not yet
acknowledged receipt of the Sen
ator's inquiry.
Typical of the governors replies
was that of Republican Governor

CHICAGO RENT BOOST
BLOCKED AS LAbOR|NG
BODIES BLAST PLAN

Washington (LPA)-A proposal
by the Chicago area rent advisory
board for 1870 blanket rent in
crease in that city was rejected
last week by Acting Housing Ex-
peditor Tighe Woods on the
grounds that the proposal was un-
substantiated.
Another try will be made by the
Chicago board, which includes four
real estate dealers, one attorney, a
YMCA secretary, manufacturer
and an AFL official. One member,
Elgar Schnadig, president of the
Boston Store, resigned in protest
over the 1870 rent boost proposal,
which was approved at a meeting
where only six of the nine-man
board were present.
Hearings will now be held, but
Chicago union officials expect it
will be difficult to do anything ex-
cept build up a record of facts and
figures which will go, along with
another rent-boost proposal, to the
Housing Expediter.
Woods became Housing Expedit-
er when Frank Creedon resigned.
This followed storm of protests
over Creedon's decision that he had
to approve the recommendations of
local rent advisory boards, set up
under the current rent control law.
C~eedon okayed a 5% rent boost in
the Louisville area, despite pro-
tests Of unions and civic groups
that no hearings were held, and
that the composition of the board
was not representative of the COM
munity.

HAVE YOU HEARD?

A new system Of electronic wash
ing of clothes is predicted by the
British Launderer's Association
scientists, and noiseless laundries
that will use supersonic waves in
stead of soap to get clothes clean
er will be thing of the future.
Electronic washing is based on
the fact that electrical charges
holding dirt to fabrics are more eff
fectively broken down by high fire.
quency vibration than by the chem
ical action of soap, which often
leaves moistened dirt to dry into
fabrics even after careful rinsing.
But while awaiting this electronic
era, the rural identification ex-
perts of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture recommend using day
light bulbs in the laundry center
because the white light which they
give off makes it easier to detect
spots and stains when laundering
or ironing clothes. 1t also saves
scorching during ironing because
the first yellow tinge of scorch
shows up more clearly.
Daylight bulbs are made with a
blue glass which gives off a nat
ural daylight instead of the yellow
ish light given off by ordinary
bulbs.
To get the same amount of light
from a daylight bulb as from an
ordinary bulb a higher wattage
must be used.

Washington (LPA)-Despite the
fact that about 1000 Taft-Hart-

about half the nations total of
local, national and international

the Boards facilities.
NLRB announced that at the end
of the month the total number of

Film Writers Ask Guild Shop

Hollywood (LPA)-In a prelimi-

ers Guild last week only one MEM
Der voted against a Guild shop in
movie studios here. This more than
fulfills the Taft-Hartley require
ment that one-third of the workers
must request union shop before a
formal election can be held. The
Guild has petitioned the Natl La
Dor Relations Board for such an
election.
