DeMille Still
Won't Shell
Out That ST.

San Francisco DPA)-The Cal
ifornia Supreme Court decided un-
animously last week that the Am
erican Federation of Radio Artists
-AFL was within its rights in sus-
pending producer Cecil B. DeMille
as member because he refused to
pay a 81 assessment to the union.
DeMille gave up his $9S, ,200-a-
year Lux Radio Theater job in
1914 because he refused to pay the
81 assessment to campaign against
the 1914 Right of Employment Act,
a California anti-labor law which
the unions managed to defeat.
After refusing to pay the dollar,
the producer undertook a costly
propaganda campaign against Ia
Dor, setting up a "DeMille Political
Freedom Foundation" He lost his
fight in the courts at every stage.
In the latest decision, the supreme
court justices stated that DeMille
"has no more fight to refuse pay
ment of taxes-even though he OBJ
jects to the purpose of such levies."

High Court Gives
Foremen Right To
Challenge TIL Law

Washington (LPA)-A constitu-
tional test of the Taft Hartley
ban on collective bargaining by
foremen was in the making last
week as the U. S. Supreme Court
sent the issue back to a U. S. Court
of Appeals in Cincinnati.
NLRB General Counsel Robert
Denham had asked the Supreme
Court to order the Budd Manufac-
turing Co., in Detroit to reinstate
a foreman who was discharged for
activity in the Foreman's Assn of
America independent. The high tri-
bunal did this but it set aside a
"cease and desist" order which Den
ham admitted no longer had any
validity because under the T,>ct-
Hartley law an employer no long
er can be charged with discriminat-
ing against union of foremen.
The court, however, specifically,
authorized the FAA to file a state
ment with the Cincinnati Court of
challenging the constitu
of that section of the law
which denies supervisory employees
the right of collective bargaining.

Scabs Recruited
In Farm Strike

Bakersfield, Calf. - LPA) =
Warrants have been signed in FL
Paso, Texas, by representatives of
/ the Natl Farm Labor Union-AFL,
charging violation of federal
law when the Di Giorgio Ranch re-
cruited workers in Texas without
telling them that strike had been
in progress for 10 weeks at the
giant San Joaquin valley agricul-
tural enterprise.
The union has collected affidavits
linking Joe Silva and John Reed
with Walt Palladino, contact man
for the Di Giorgio Corp. These have
been turned over to the FBI along
with more affidavits from the
Mexican-American workers that
they were recruited from Ell Paso
under false pretenses.
So far, Di Giorgio has imported
200 of the 1900 workers he will
need to prune the 1900 acres of
grape vines that are the ranch's
main source of income. The work
ers have been smuggled in at night.
Meanwhile, the members of the
Natl Farm Labor Union local are
maintaining their 19z-mile picket
line around the ranch. They issued
printed appeal last week ITO
Our Friends in the Kearn County
Community"
"We regard the advent of the
Mexican-Americans from Texas as
being extremely unfortunate" the
union asserted in the message. "We
bear no malice toward them for
we realize that they are unfortun-
ately being used as "strikebreakers'
by the Di Giorgio Corp.-much the
same way as the Mexican nationals
are used by the big farming inter-
ests to lower prevailing wage stan
dardS.
"Worse yet, this move at Di Gior-
gio shows no concern for the strain
ed racial feeling that its causes,
nor its depressing economic effect
on the whole community. Joseph
Di Giorgio does not live here. He
only owns land here and hires la
Dor here. He does not seem to care
what happens in this community
so long as he gets his work done
for him at the low wages that he
pays"

Congress S Only
Shudow-B oxinq
On Price Cuts

Washington (LPA)- Any voters
who thought the specially-called
session of Congress would do some
thing about initiation were sadly
disillusioned last week, as MEM
bers of the House and Senate start
ed home for two-week holiday.
Anti-inflation legislation propos-
ed by both the Democrats and Re-
publicans turned out to be mainly
1913 election window-dressing, with
both parties split on how many
controls were needed over the AM
erican economy to end spiraling
prices. President Truman's 10-point
program was discarded in the three
committees which worked over anti
initiation plans. The Republicans
Jared little better.
A series of proposals-mostly for
voluntary industry agreements to
divide up scarce materials and to
lower priees-by the Republicans
was reported to the House from its
Banking Committee. However,
when it came to the floor under a
rule, requiring a two-thirds vote in
favor, 26 Republicans lined up with
a solid front of the Democrats to
block passage. Republicans polled
only 202 of the 260 votes they need
ed.
In the Senate, Chairman Robert
Taft of the Joint Committee on the
Economic Report tried to push thru
a vote on the COP proposals. An
offered by Sen. Alben
Barkley 3D., Ky.) which would
have given the President power to
order industry to ration scarce
commodities that are essential to
the cost of living, was defeated by
a vote of AZ to 80, with one Repub-
lican, Morse of Oregon, supporting
the amendment.

COP. PROMISES
QUICK Vote ON
FEPC PROPOSAL

Washington LPA)-Sen. Robert
A. Taft, (R., Ohio) predicts that
the Ives Chavez-Fulton bill against
discrimination in employment will
be voted out favorably by the Sen
ate Labor Committee early in jan
uary, and that the COP leadership
will defy a southern filibuster to
pass the permanent FEPC bill in
the Senate.
The Taft prediction, indicating
that the Republican leadership will
try hard to win back Negro voters,
was made when delegation head
ed by A. Philip Randolph, president
of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters-A -AFL visited him this week.
Randolph reported back to the
board of directors of the Natl
Council for Permanent FEPC.
= The FEPC bill will become law
194S, Sen. James Murray 3D.,
DMont.) and Sen. Irvings Ives OR. N.
W told a dinner meeting of the
FEPC supporters. Orin Root Jr.,
leader of young Republicans, pre-
sided at the session at which a
large delegation of labor officials
was present.
Hating of the permanent FEPC
measures in the Senate has been
the stumbling block in previous
Congressional sessions. Southern
ers have filibustered, and until now
neither the Democrats nor the Re-
publicans have been able to over
ride a filibuster with round-the-
clock sessions ending with two
thirds vote in favor of cloture. Be-
Acause of the large proportion OF
N3outhern Democrats in the Senate,
lit would require virtually every
Republican and every northern
Democrat to obtain cloture.
A second delay, caused last July
by sudden change in views of
Sen. Alexander Smith (R., n. j.,
key member of the Senate Labor
Committee, has been ended. Smith
this week told FEPC supporters he
will not insist on an amendment
allowing states to "count them
selves out" of the enforcement pro-
visions of the bill to prohibit racial
or religious discrimination in en-
ployment.
