81 LAWSUITS AGAINST
TENNESSEE COPPER
COMPANY, 1916

Copperhill. Tenn.-FP-Failure to
observe Tennessee industrial health
laws resulted in 81 lawsuits against
the Tennessee Copper Co., in 1896.
The claims. made by workers who
contracted silicosis as a result Of the
company's neglect, totaled ~S1,53O,OO0.
Thirty of the suits were for $4,000
and one was for 100000.
Handling the claims, most OF which
were settled out of court on undis-
closed terms. were Coins & Cannon
and John S. Wrinkle. All the workers
charged they had suffered total and
permanent disability from lung and
bronchial Affections. Silicosis is caus-
ed by inhaling the dust and silica in
the copper mines area.
Wrinkle said he has also filed cases
in federal court at Knoxville for work
ers who allege they have o%ccupational
diseases from working at Oak Ridge
on the atomic bomb project. Pointing
out that o~ccupational diseases are on
the upgrade in the state. Wrinkle said
he expected the Tennessee legislature
to pass a bill which would place such
diseases under the workmen's com
pensation act.

will be able to deduct it from back taxes.
No sooner was the portal-to-portal deci-
sion announced than the capitalist press and
many congressman started a cry that tins de-
cision made unnecessary the pay rises Tor
which the unions are preparing to tight.
Nothing Of the kind is true. as every unlOnlSt
knows. For the portal pay is merely giving
to the workers that they have earned IN the
past and what they have been deprived OF;
it is merely a reckoning of past debts. 1t has
nothing to do with future needs. The wage
increases the workers are demanding are bas-
ed on the rising cost of living and this rising
cost of living will continue. II as a result OF
the portal decision, some workers are able to
put a little aside for the depression which ev-
ervonc feels is coming sooner or later, that's
no tragedy either.
But so bitterly anti-labor are big bust
ness congressman that some of them are al
ready preparing to deprive the workers OF
this gain.
The indecent haste of the congressman
not vet in Washington who already pop up
with newspaper statements denOuncing por-
tal-to-portal pay and weeping bucketstul OF
tears in behalf of the bosses, is another in
dication of what we have been saying here
all along: the men in Washington are the
agents of big business. No matter whether
they call themselves Democrats or Republl-
cans. they are working against American la
Dor. SO much have they been the eager little
beavers in this situation, that they anticipat-
ed the demands of big business and lmme-
diately came through with proposals for leg
~islation against portal-to-portal pay.
What follows should be clear: so long as
these legislative water-boys of big business
run things in Washington, they'll always be
ready to give the workers a rotten deal.
What we need is our own party, a party OF
independent labor without ties to any of the
old capitalist political outfits, which will de-
fend and extend our rights.-LABOR
ACTION.

THE RIGHT TO PORTAL-TO-PORTAL
PAY

The unexpected windfall which has be-
fallen sections of the American working class
as a result of a court decision granting por-
tal-to-portal pay, is in danger of being de-
stroved as a result of the threats of certain
congressmen to introduce legislation to wipe
out this benefit.
A group of Republican congressman have
announced plans to kill the portal-to-portal
paw on the grounds that it would impose
hardships on business. They are apparently
intent on demonstrating their anticipatory
LOYALTY to their capitalist masters.
The volume of court actions filed by UNI
ions seeking to gain the portal-to-portal privi-
leges for their members has reached the one
billion dollar mark. In many instances, how
ever, the employers will not directly pay, but

Proclaiming that America was just
what she expected it to be-and that
she liked it-Princess Ashraf Pah-
lavi, twin sister of the Shah Of
Iran, today is busy with a two-week
tour of welfare and relief agencies
in Washington.
The princess, whose pioneer well
fare work among the poorer classes
in her country has led to the estab-
lishment of an imperial social serv-
ice organization there, met members
of the press in the national head
quarters of the Red Cross.
Yesterday, smartly clad in black
dress which embodied all the latest
Paris style creations, she laughed
when a reporter asked if she
dressed that way in her homeland.
But of course" she said. 'We
are very modern there"
Cool Toward Suffrage.
She dismissed the idea of woman
suffrage, however. "It is too much
work." she explained.
The princess is head of the Ashraf
Institute in Teheran, which was the
first nursery school built there. AL
though she was reluctant to speak of
her part in its founding, Nine. Afra,
an aide, reported the Kings sister
had financed the school herself, with
the aid of private contributions.

Judge voids Weapons Case
On Flaw in Indictment.

Indictments which charge persons
with carrying deadly weapon
should add without a license. If
convictions are to stand, Chief JUS
tice Bolitha J. Laws Of District
Court ruled yesterday.
The decision has nothing to do
with the new firearms law, permit
ting search of a person on probable
cause" that the suspect Is carrying
deadly weapon.
Usually, deadly weapons cases are
disposed of In Municipal Court as
misdeameanors but occasionally this
charge in included in an indictment
charging defendant with an as
sault with weapon.
Justice Laws ruling was made in
granting a motion for judgement Of
acquittal of Samuel F, Waters, A,
colored taxicab driver, who was
found guilty by a District Court
jury on a pistol-carrying charge. The
jury had acquitted him of assault
with intent to kill and assault with
a dangerous weapon.
In setting aside the jury's ver-
dict of guilty on the pistol charge,
Justice Laws said the charge had
to specify that the defendant had
no license to carry pistol.

House Group 10 Draft
District Reorganiziing
Plans in October

Members of the Auchincloss Sub
committee of the House District
Committee are expected to meet
here in October to draft recon-
mendations for re-organized Dis
trict government.
Preliminary work now is under
way. DIR. George Galloway and Clar-
ence Pierce of the Legislative Refer
ence Service of the Library OF Con-
gress, on loan to the Auchincloss
group, now are sitting thousands OF
words of advice given at extensive
hearings held during July.
Witnesses have urged an elected
or a partly elected City Council,
a delegation by Congress of en-
larged powers to the city govern
ment and considerable changes in
the relationships of Federal and
District Government agencies.
Indicate Sympathy.
While making no commitments as
yet, members of the Auchincloss
Subcommittee have indicated SYM
pathy for greater measure of
home rule" for the District, con-
sistent with legislative authority the
Constitution places with Congress-
An adjourned hearing has been
scheduled for the early fall, probably
in October, to hear the views of
Fiorello H. La Guardia, former
Mayor OF New York and former
member of Congress.
Announcing plans for the fall
meeting to hear Mr.. La Guardia,
Chairman Auchincloss declared the
present city organization to be a
patchwork government" that needs
streamlining and reorganization "to
make it more efficient and respon-
sible."
Must Reconcile Interests.
In any satisfactory government
for the District, he said, "t,le inter-
ests of the United States as a whole,
represented in Congress, and the
interests of the residents and tax
payers of the District, who have no
vote, must be reconciled."
He said the special hearing was
planned because Mr.. La Guardia
with his IA years of service in the
House and IL years as New Yorks
Mayor, was as well qualified as any
one to advise the subcommittee.
The subcommittee report is sched-
uled to go to the House in January.
Assuming agreement is reached on
reorganization and home rule, the
proposals will be embodied in a bill
to be introduced at the time the
report is filed with the House.
A drive for early legislative action
then would follow, under the ten
tative program.

8 Maryland Markets
Extend Closing Date
For Tobacco Sales
By Charles A. McAIeer

Six of the eight Southern Mary
land loose-leaf tobacco auction mar
kets will remain open for sales
through tomorrow and two through
Monday, instead of closing today as
originally scheduled, in an attempt
to sell the remainder of the 1886
AZ tobacco crop.
Those that will remain open until
tomorrow are three in Marlboro and
three in Hughesville. One market
in La Plata and another in Waldorf
will continue sales through Mon
day.
This was decided at an emerg-
ency meeting of more than 20
warehousemen and buyers, including
representatives of the eight markets,
last night at Marlboro.
Fear Market Break.
According to Frank M. Hall, chair
man of the Warehousemen's Com
mittee and president of the Marl-
boro Tobacco Board of Trade, who
presided last night, the warehouse
men opposed remaining open any
longer, even though some tobacco
may go unsold, for fear the market
would break and the bottom fall out.
The last-minute rush to the mar
kets by farmers has resulted in the
sale of 1,250,000 pounds of tobacco
in three days so far this week at
Marlboro, Mr.. Hall said. The aver
age is running about IS cents a
pound now, compared to about 10
or Is cents more a few weeks ago,
he added.
The three markets, the Marlboro
Tobacco Market, Edelen Brothers
and the Planters Tobacco Market,
were filled to capacity late yesterday
with much of the tobacco already
sold. More than Is trucks with un-
sold tobacco. lined up outside of the
warehouses, were not unloaded until
midnight. The three warehouses
hold about 100000 pounds.
100000 Pounds Sold.
Estimates ranging up to 6,e00, 900
pounds were given for the amount
of unsold tobacco. Since the season
opened last spring the entire Mary
land market, including the hogshead
market in Baltimore, has disposed of
approximately $4,000, 900 pounds.
Prices for this years record crop
were considerably lower than last
year. The prices have ranged from
low OF 6 cents pound to as high
as 81 cents a>~pound. The yearly
average, through last Friday, was
slightly better than IS cents q
pound.

Greatest Unit
To Represent Labor
In Welfare Work

The Community Chest Federation
today announced, the creation of a
labor participation department in
q move to bring union members and
other workers in the District into
fuller participation in the Chests
community welfare activities.
Miss Sylvia Altman, delegate to
the Central Labor Union, was
named to head the new department.
She will be responsible for keep
ing labor groups informed on the
services supplied by various Com
munity Chest agencies, and win
ming their financial support in the
annual Chest drives.
Federation President Daniel w.
Bell said that while union members
have taken part in Community
Chest work in the past, efforts will
now be made to give labor more
systematic representation in the
Chest organization.
This policy has been successfully
followed in other cities, he pointed
out, with the full backing of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions, the American Federation of
Labor and other labor groups.
Campaign Chairman Edward H.
Foley, jr., Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, who will direct the $4,000, =
900 drive this November. welcomed
the appointment of the new labor
participation chief,
Miss Altman" he said, will be
able to work closely with each of
the Federation campaign unit
managers in preparation for the
coming fund drive, and as campaign
groups take shape her advice and
assistance as a representative OF
organized labor will be valuable to
all of us in the tasks of the drive" "
Miss Altman formerly served as
executive assistant to the Secretary
of the Interior and as special ad-
wiser to the Musicians Union Local
161. She has been member of the
Washington Chest Budget Com
mittee.

For several years Princess Ashraf
was head of the women's section of
Trans Red Lion and Sun Society,
which is equivalent to the Red Cross.
She resigned this position to be-
come director of the Imperial Social
Service group. Income for this

Shah, she said.
Plans for Native Land.
During her inspection trip here
and in New York, sponsored by the
Red Gross. the princess plans to
gather material which will help her
IN establishing schools, hospitals and
welfare centers throughout the
country.
On one question the princess
baked.
What do I weigh? 1t is too little.
I will not say"
When complimented on her COM
mand of the English language, the
princess, who had never been to
Europe or America before, laughed
heartily.
II just pick it up," she said.
French is my second language;
English I have never studied"
She said she had been unable to
do any sightseeing, nor did she ex-
pect to do much.
"I am here to learn many things
she said. II will be very busy"

Freedom Train Ready to RoI!
Its Message Through Nation

by the people, and for the people,
shall not perish from the earth"
And in Georgia, not so far from
the town Of Monroe, where four Ne
groes were slain by an armed band
in an outbreak of racial bigotry last
summer, other men will have the
chance to read the clear affirmation
of the Declaration of independence: :
I'VE hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalien-
able rights; naat among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit OF hap
piness."
Was Clark's idea.
Attorney General CLARK, who con-
ceived the idea of the Freedom
Train last year, envisioned it as
"the springboard of a great cru
sade for reawakening faith in
America in the hearts of our people. "
Bearing a load of documents
whose loss would be an historical ca
lamity, the Freedom Train has been
fashioned from materials as sturdy
as the heritage Of liberty 1t SYM

100 Million Budget
Without New Taxes

Washington isn't likely to be ad-
mitted in the next fiscal year to the
small circle of American cities boast
ing budgets of 500, ,000, 900 or more
unless the controversial District
sales tax becomes law.
That. is the opinion Of Deputy
Budget Officer William G.. Wilding,
who is now in the midst of collect
ing 1949 budget estimates for sub
mission to the Commissioners next
month.
District taxpayers, burdened with
a record-breaking $95, 100000 budget
this year, may or may not take COM
fort from the fact that there's a
chance the tradition Of maintaining
the National Capital in the, style to
which it is accustomed won't cost
much more in the next fiscal year.
Now Spending Surplus.
IT don't see how the budget pos
sibly can go to $1o0,000,00O without
a sales tax or some other equally
productive, new source OF increased
revenue Mr.. Wilding said. by
that time we will have spent sub
stantial part of the $4,000, 900 sur
plus fund saved during the war for
needed postwar construction"
Mr.. Wilding wasn't predicting
what figure the 1949 budget esti-
mates will hit, but he seemed conf
dent departmental heads will not
get far with the same kind Of "ex-
travagant amounts" they prepared
SO optimistically for the 1948 budget.
Then, they asked for $50, ,000, 900
more than there were funds avail
able" he explained.
He indicated the budget ak Is
being sharpened to keen edge,
with parings starting at the source.
Only a few departments have been
heard from so far.
Schools Mortgage Future"
with the school construction pro-
gram, our future is mortgaged for
the next two years." Mr.. Wilding
said. We're going to be in a des-
perate fix, and the school program
is going to jeopardize our ability
to provide other worthy projects"
Mr.. Wilding said one of the "un-
foreseen" increases in revenue in
the present fiscal year was the ad-
ditional $4,000,0 900 of the Federal
payment. No one can tell now just
what Congress will do in this re-
spect for the 1949 budget.
Mr.. Wilding admitted there's
heavy opposition to the sales tax,
but he thinks it would be good for
So, 600, 900 in the average fiscal year
Allowing for a lapse in setting up
the machinery, the Commissioners
had estimated it would produce
IS $50, 900 the first year.
With the increase in the real
estate tax from SITS to 50 per 500
of valuation, District officials must
look next to new sources Of revenue.
They believe the limit has been
reached on taxing real estate.
