Steel Industry
Plans Shortage.
Price Increases

New York-(LPA) 1.-The impera-
tive need for action by Congress to
halt the steel industry's program
of planned scarcity" was confirm
ed last week when the magazine
Steel, authoritative industry jour
nal, predicted more price increases
for the future.
The magazine indicated that the
steel industry would use higher
warehouse prices and increased
freight rates as the excuse for
price rises. The assignment of
steel for consumers during the last
three months of this year is being
sharply reduced by the industry,
presumably so that the companies
can do a bookkeeping job, accord
ing to Steel.
In Philadelphia, naturalization
of the steel industry was demanded
by the national board of directors
of the Progressive Citizens of Am
erica. Contending that the indus
try has encouraged a steel short
age, pea asserted that "the giant
steel corporations have brazenly
announced to a Senate committee
their refusal to expand steel pro-
duction to meet the nations needs"
Previously union leaders and
economists had given testimony to
a special Senate Small Business
Committee on Steel that the indus
try's present program and its re-
fusal to expand could lead the ma
ton into a major depression and
millions of unemployed
The American Iron & Steel In
stitute admitted last week that
steel production so far this year
is 6@o short of the 1910 figure.
Nearly 10000 Detroit auto workers
in Chrysler and Briggs were slated
to be laid off this week because
of a sheet steel shortage.

Cities Trdining P olice 7 o
Hdndle Ruciul Conflicts

Chicago (ILNS)-Training pro-
grams to help police deal intelli-
gently with racial convicts are be-
ing stimulated in major cities by
sharp increases in the Negro popu-
lation. The International City Man
ayers Association reports that the
exodus of Negroes from the South,
during the war and after, has in
creased the Negro population of
some northern cities as much as
500 percent.
The situation is complicated by
many other factors and minority
groups. In Chicago, where the Chi
cago Park District has one of the
most comprehensive police training
programs for racial amity, So per
cent of the population is foreign
born or the children of immigrants.
Added to this are 344, 900 Negroes.
The Chicago Park Districts
training of police to handle group
conflicts is given a series of 6
study sessions. In the first session,
racial conflict is presented first
as a worldwide problem and then
the focus is progressively narrow
ed to the U. S., to Chicago, and fin
ally to problem neighborhoods in
the city.
The second and third sessions
are devoted to sketching the his
torical background of tension
among racial, nationality, and re-
ligious groups, and to dispelling
popular myths about racial differ
ences. In the fourth session, an
analysis is presented of the 8 kinds
of situations in which group ten
sions are most likely to arise: (1)
discrimination in employment, (2)
substandard housing and segrega-
tion and (3) Discrimination in re-
creation and social activities.

Portal Pay Suits Dismissed

Washington UPA)- Portal-to-
portal pay suits with claims totall-
ing millions of dollars were dis
missed last week by several U. S.
District Courts. In Pittsburgh a
decision that the 1947 Portal-to-
Portal Act of Congress was consti-
tutional resulted in dismissal of 43
cases. The opinion said that though
the United Steelworkers-CIO had
a right to seek portal pay under
the Fair Labor Standards Act e
1888, that right no longer existed
In Chicago a motion has been filed
to dismiss four CIO portal pay
suits, two brought by the Steel-
workers and two by the United
Auto Workers.

millions overseas to buy the food

To end the waste of food thru
profiteering, Murray asked mem
bers to work for these measures:
1-price control; 2-allocation of
basic foodstuffs and rationing of
all scarce foods to stop waste of
food at its source, because if grain,
for example, is fed to livestock,
ther is little if anything consumers
can do about it when the livestock
products come to market: 3-an
immediate special session of Con-
gress, which should levy "a CON
fiscatory tax" upon "the profits of
those who gamble in the necessities
of life"

Foremen To Test
Bargaining B an

5, Washington-LPA)- Two deci-
sions last week-one by a U. S.
District Court and the other by the
NLRB-against the Foremen's
Assn of America-unaffiliated left
completely unsettled the question of
whether the Taft Hartley laws ban
on collective bargaining by foremen
is constitutional.
In the first action, the u. S. Dis
trict Court reversed an NLRB or
der requiring a San Francisco firm
to bargain with FAA. The court
emphasized that it was not passing
on the constitutionality of the ban.
The Wagner Act, under which fore
men were accorded bargaining
rights, was amended by the Taft
Hartley law to prohibit such bar
gaining, the court ruled.
The NLRB's first decision since
the anti-labor law went into eff
feet on Aug. % dismissed refusal
to-bargain complaint brought by
the FAA against Westinghouse
Electric Corp, East Springfield,
Mass. The Board simply referred
to the Hartley law and with
oht considering the merits of the
case" threw it out of court.
The decisive test of the laws
ban on bargaining by foremen will
come when a u. S. District Court
here rules on a petition by the FAA
to. enjoin the NLRB from dismis-
sing 80 pending cases involving the
union.

reached record figures, wage in
creases have benefited millions of
workers, production has reached
new peacetime levels and work
stoppages have declined.
Anti-Ball Candidate Launched
"But prices" he added, "have ad-
vanced to unreasonable heights and
housing is far insufficient for the
needs of many of our citizens.
These are conditions which must
be remedied so that we can main
tain a stable and prosperous eco
nomy in which all will share the
benefits"
Following reading of the Presi-
dents message, the convention
launched Mayor Hubert II. Humph-
rey of Minneapolis, Democrat, on
a campaign to defeat Senator Jo-
seph III. Ball, Republican of Min
nesota, who has been vociferous in
his support of anti-labor legisla-
ton.
Humphrey won the conventions
backing and a great ovation in
speech which made no mention of
his candidacy or Of Senator Ball.
AFL President William Green urg-
ed the convention to back Humph-
rey at the polls in 1948 and to see
to the defeat of Senator Ball. The
conventions action was seen as
marking the beginning of AFL
militant action in the 1913 politi-
cal campaign.

Taft BruinSform:
CIO Owns Truman

Cheyenne, Wyo.-UPA)- Sen.
Robert Taft (R., Ohio) ended his
three-week "pulse-taking" tour of
the west at Casper, Wyo., last
week and in final effort to oblit-
crate the numerous blunders that
have appalled, his campaign man
ayers described President Truman
as, in effect, a captive of the CIO.
"If a choice has to be made"
Taft told his Casper audience, "on
any vital issue between the aggres-
sive planned economy of the CIO
on one side and the American prin-
ciples of liberty on the other, the
administration will not dare to an
tagonize the left-wing groups"
For at least the fifth time on
this trip Taft backtracked on pre-
vious statements. In California he
had declared flatly that the Re-
publicans in Congress would en-
act no social legislation until 1949
because the COP did not wish to
see such new laws administered
by a Democratic president. This
was quickly construed by labor
leaders and liberals as a plan for
a deliberate COP sitdown strike
against such legislation as mini
mum wage, federal housing, a ma
tional health program. extension of
social security benefits and even
such measures as anti-lynching,
FEPC and anti-poll tax bills.
At Gearhart, Ore, however, Taft
realized that he had pulled another
boner and suddenly broke out
health and welfare pro-
gram for 1948. This included: l.
His own Taft-Ellender- Wagner
housing bill; 2-Creation for fed
eral relief program to meet pos
sible emergencies" with local con-
troll paramount to national; g.
of old-age insurance
,overage to include agricultural and
domestic workers; 4-Higher un-
insurance benefits; 5
"A health program which would
bypass the labor-supported Wag-
ner- -Murray-Dingell bill and give
5000, 100000 a year to the states;
aid to education.

Labor AIerfed To
Donger Aheod For
Woge-Hour Edicf

Washington - (LPA) = The
thorough going-over scheduled for
federal minimum wage and hour
legislation starts here before a
House Labor Subcommittee on Oct.
20.
Chairman Samuel j. Mcconnell
(R., Pa.) has indicated that the
hearings will go into all phases
of the Fair Labor Standards Act,
which besides regulating hours and
setting a minimum wage of 4Oc in
covered industries, also deals with
child labor regulations.
The first week will be devoted,
according to the subcommittee
spokesmen, to scholarly" discus
sions of the background of wage
and hour regulations, and will in
clude those favoring abolition of
all protective legislation as well
as supporters of the minimum wage
law.
Weeks two and three will be de-
voted to labor and management
groups; the fourth week will bring
government administrators of the.
present law before the subcommit-
tee.
Labor Officials have made no Sec
ret Of their concern that these hear
ings may lay the groundwork for
a drive, beginning in January, to-
wipe all traces of the Fair Labor
Standards Act from the law books,
just as was done this year with
the Wagner Natl Labor Relations
Act, when the Taft Hartley law
was enacted.
