Ball Doubts Congress
Will Change Taft Act
At Regular Session

Congress is unlikely to make any
major changes in the Hartley
Labor Relations Act during the next
regular session beginning in Janu-
ary, Senator Ball. Republican, of
Minnesota, chairman of the joint
congressional committee appointed
to study revisions of the law. said
today:
Senator Ball said he thinks any
antiquities that may have ap-
peared in the law can be taken care
of by interpretations of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board.
There had been indications earlier
that Congress would make some
changes. Chairman Hartley of the
House Labor Committee has stated
that he would suggest amendments
to make the law tighter on labor
unions, while Chairman Taft of the
Senate Labor Committee indicated
some time ago there was need for
Qualification of a section pertaining
to political activities of unions and
union publications.
Sees No Serious Bugs.
mo serious bugs have developed
in the operation of the act" Sen
ator Ball said. Il think, and I be-
lieve the committee thinks, that it
would be unwise to revive the whole
fight over labor legislation by pro-
posing some minor changes that
can be taken care of otherwise"
He added it was certain no i'm
portant attempt would be made at
the coming special session to re-
open the labor law subject.
The next regular session likely
will be ended long before the courts
have had opportunity to interpret
and rule on various provisions of the
labor law, Senator Ball said.
A group of liberal Democrats, led
by Senator Pepper of Florida and
Senator Murray of Montana are
pledged to attempt repeal of the
Taft Hartley Act. However. 1t Is
likely their efforts will be smoth-
cred.

CIo President Philip Murray and
John L. Lewis, head of the AFL
United Mine Workers, are among
the prominent labor leaders who
have refused to file afidavits.
The NLRB announced that to-
tai of 19,307 officials of locals and
internationals had sent in papers
disavowing communism, most of
them in the AFL and independent
unions.
While both Mr. Murray and Mr..
Lewis are anti-Communists they

ADA Advises
COP & Dems

WASHINGTON, December 81
(LPA) - In a letter to Repub-
lican and Democratic Congress
sional leaders, Americans for
Democratic Action, non-Com-
munist liberal organization, last
week asserted that independent
voters" will judge candidates in
1948 on their records in support
of two key iSsues-''the Mar
shall Plan for European recov-
cry, and legislation to asure re-
duced prices and the avoidance
of a threatened recession"
Congress is asked also to per-
nit the entrance into the u. S.
of 100000 displaced persons, as
Rr9vided in the Stratton Bill es-
tablish a permanent FEPC, enact
the WET housing bill and re-
peal the Taft-Hartley law. Also
endorsed by ADA is the Murray

proposal and anti.lynching legis-
lation.
In its attack upon the high
cost of living ADA asks for the
reimpoition of price controls and

Pure Oil Co
Issues Are
Cut To II
Contract Talks
Are Continued

Contract discussions were
started this week on an agree
ment covering laboratory and
office workers employed by
the Pure Oil Co. following an
18 hour session between COM
papy officials and the Toledo
LMC on Saturday of last week.
Progress was made in the dis
cussions resulting in reducing
the number of disputed points
in the Oil Workers contract to
IL according to Michael V. Di-I
Sale, LMC chairman. Agree
ment was made to arbitrate
seven of the remaining issues
by an LMC panel, while two
will be mediated and the re-
two negotiated between
the company and officials of
Local 346, Oil Workers Union.
Meeting with the company
and union representatives at the
Commodore Perry Hotel this
week was Martin Swauger, Fed
eral Mediation and Cancellation
Service commissioner who will
sit in on the negotiation of the
laboratory and office workers
contract.
Inasmuch as many of the
clauses in the separate contract
covering the office and labora-
tory workers are similar to
those in the production workers
contract, it was felt by some
of LMC that an early
settlement would be possible
ending the strike of the Pure
Oil employees which is now
nearing 10 months duration.
Last weeks conference be-
tween the company and LMC
was attended by L. S. Wescote,
Pure Oil president and j. Porter
Langfitt, vice pre- i'd e mt in
charge of refining. Union repre-
sentatives did not participate in
conference but were consulted
frequently during the meeting.

Vice
President
International UAW-CIO

To the members and officers OF
the Auto Workers, to our friends
in and out of the unions ano
those who are in sympathy with
the work which we OF the
unions are attempting to ac-
complish, l extend my very
sincere wishes for Happy New
Year.
AS we come to the end of the
old year and approach the new,
most of us are inclined to look
backward and consider some
of the outstanding things which
have occurred during the past
and resolve to make the best
of the future.
In reviewing the year 1947,
we can see both our triumphs
and our failures. We can see
where, had we all pulled to-
gether and been more united,
we might have succeeded In
preventing some of the things
which occurred, or at least soft
ened them little.
But it is not to the past which
we turn, for that is gone for
ever, but to the future. This we
face with the determination
that the New Year will give
the workers a new way of
bringing progress through their
own efforts and give them
better and more satisfactory
life with a better standard of
living.
1t is our intention to work to
make 1948 an outstanding year
for the workers of America
by making a more determined
fight on prices; by attempting
to remove the political re-
dictionaries who have served the
big business interests of the ma
tion and by making the fight to
establish a batter balance be-
tween wages and prices.

Fewer strikes started in No

December 1945-the tally show
ed $50 new stoppages involving
about $4,000 workers. Union of
ficialS in year-end statements
pointed out that this peaceful
situation cannot be attributed to
the Hartley Act or state an

sist, it is because most unions
signed contracts running for at
least a year before the effective
date of the Taft-Hartley law in
August.

Open

Immediate opening of the

among union, church, veter-

by Richard GoSser, UAW vice

man of the political committee.
Mr.. Gosser stated that an ap-

throughout the city. Following
is the text of the LCPC mem
bership drive plea.
"Are you one of those persons
who believe in the old adage,
All things come to him who
waits?' Or, do you believe that
if you want something done
right you have to do it your
self? If you are of the former
type-pleasant dreams. To those
in the latter category we ask
Are you satisfied with every
thing the National, State and
Local governments are doing or
do you have some ideas of your
own you would like to see tried
out? Are you against discrim-
ination? Against child labor?
Against depressions, unemploy-
ment, and insecurity? Are you
in favor of adequate housing,
better educational facilities, bet
ter working conditions, equal
opportunity for all?
"The Labor and Civic Politi-
cal Committee was organized for
YOU. 1t is composed of people
from labor, civic, religious and
veteran organizations who be-
lieve that through mutual CO.
operation much needed social
legislation may become a reali-
ty. The L. c. P. c. needs you
and you need the L. c. P. c.
Wake up to your opportunity.
Live up to your social 'obliga-
tions. Join this democratic or
ganization. You know what is
best for you. Through the L. c.
P. C. you can make yourself
heard. Join NOW.
A representative of the L. c.
P. c. will visit you in the near
future. Tell him to sign you
up. The cost is only so cents. "
