CIO Plans TO
Win The South

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 19
LPA)-Hundreds of local CIO
organizing committees will be
set up throughout the south, CIO
Southern Drive Director Van A.
Bittner announced last week to
nearly 500 Louisiana CIO union
leaders at mass meeting here.
The new plan, which will
bring greater local participation
in the CLOS drive, was an
nounced as the southern drives
victories in Natl Labor Rela-
tions Board elections reached a
total of 351 against SO losses.
Under the program approved
by the Louisiana CIO leaders,
each local union would be ex-
pected to set up a volunteer or
ganizing committee to work in
cooperation with the staff of the
southern drive. Meetings similar
to the parley here will be held
throughout the south in the near
future and each southern state
Is expected to set up scores of
local organizing groups.
Common sense tells u.s." Bit
ner, that our established unions
will have difficulty making the
gains they should until the south
is solidly organized under the
banner of the CIO."

Freedom Of The

One of the most interesting
resolutions to come before the
Ohio Legislature was HR 10,
dealing with floor privileges TO
the press. The resolution was
interesting because 1t went to
such labored lengths to exclude
representatives of anything but
the commercial press. The reso-
luton resorted to double talk
when 1t excluded any newsmen
associated with an organization
which had legislation before the
Assembly.
Should a representative of the
Labor press petition for press
privileges he would be denied
them on the grounds that Labor
is interested In legislation be-
fore the Assembly. Who ever
drew this resolution, generating
commercial reporters from any
special interest In legislation,
must not be a reader of the com.
mercial press editorial pages.
There, for the next six months,
we shall find newspaper pub
fishers, for whom the reporters
work, emphatically trying to
guide the Affairs of the Legisla.

| Business
Recession

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 GPA)-
The repeated predictions of la
Dor economists that the nations
economy Is racing headlong into
a recession or depression as long
as the wage-price contradiction
intensifies was verified last week
by big business.
Fortune Magazine, $1-a-copy
monthly for business executives,
published the results of a poll
which asked do you expect to
see an extended major depres-
sion with large-scale unemploy-
ment In the next 10 years?"
The poll showed 58% answer
ing "yes" and only 28% mo"
with 14% having no estimate.
In reply TO the question when
do you think 1t will GOMEZ" the
answers were divided this way:
first half Of 1947-1%; second
half of 1947-4%; first half of
1948-5%; second half of 1948
-5%; some time in 194s-9% ;
1850 or later-26%; don't know
80.
The editors of Fortune COM
mented, "this question was asked
simply to test the state of long
range optimism. 1t isn't very
high. But while most executives
don't trust the brave new world,
they think serious trouble is
some years away"
In reply to a question "Do
you think we will have more
strikes in 1947 than in 1946,
less, or about that many" the
answers found 10% predicting
more, 32% about as many, and
58% less.

'Curran Wins;
.CMC ScuttIed

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (LPA)-
The Committee for Maritime
Unity, originally composed of
six CIO and one independent
union, was scuttled here last
week as the direct result of the
resignation of Joseph Curran,
president Of the Natl Maritime
Union-CIO, from his post as
GNU co-chairman.
Seen as a personal victory for
Curran, who has been battling
Communists in his union over
the issue, the GNU dissolution
was voted by the executive COM
mittee which declared that Cur
rams resignation has rendered
the GNU ineffective for all prac-
teal purposes"
One day later, however, In
Washington, President Vincent
j. Malone, of the independent
Marine Firemen, oilers, Water
tenders & Wipers, announced
that a maritime conference of
nine AFL, CIO and independent
unions would be held in that
city on March S. Missing from
the nine was the Int'l Longshore
mems & Warehousemen's Union
ICIO, whose president, Harry
Bridges, was co-chairman of the
GNU.
Malone, whose union voted
1879 TO 1872 against GNU affi-
liation recently, declared that
THE chief reason the GNU
failed was that the Communist
boys dominated it and tried to
ride roughshod over all the 9TH
er unions" Malone was one of
the founders of GNU.
The Washington conference,
said Malone, will attempt to
establish cooperative front on
all maritime problems. Unlike
the GNU it will not envision
eventual organic unity. The par
lticipating organizations besides
Malone's MFOW will be: NMU;
Marine Cooks g. Stewards;
A m erican Communications
Assn; Marine Engineers Benefi-
cial Ass'n--all CIO; and Sailors
Union of the Pacific; Seafares
Int'l Union; Masters Mates &
Pilots; Radio Officers Union

New Coal Strike
~Nreo+ened

I WASHIN GTON, Feb. Is
| (LPA)-The nations coal indus
try told Congress last week that
when the government returns
the mines to private operation
the owners will not accept the
terms of the contract signed by
the government and the United
Mine Workers-AFL.
Testifying before the Senate
Labor Committee, Forney Johns
ton, general counsel for the
National Coal Association, de-
clared that the mine operators
would not pay the 5c-a-ton con-
tribution to the UMW's welfare
fund as provided now in the
union contract.
Moreover, said Johnston, the
operators would resist the well
fare fund practice even to the
point of provoking another
strike. This, according to UNIV
leaders, would amount to q
strike by the mine owners
against the union. 1t has been an
open secret here or months that
the government has wanted to
return the mines to private
ownership but the operators
have been content to wait on
the outcome of the unions ap-
peal from Its $3,500,000 con-
tempt of court fine.
Johnston urged Congress to
pass legislation outlawing well
fare funds and told the Senate
Committee that ongreSs
should understand that q large
proportion of the coal industry,
If not the entire industry-on
REIMBURSEMENT of federal con-
trol-cannot agree voluntarily
to a collectivist pooling of the
mine labor of 1000 unrelated
mines for the levy of a tonnage
tax by the mine workers union
for any such blind pool" He
also called for a legislation ban
on what he termed "coerced
multiple plant bargaining" by
which was meant n prohibition
of industry-wids bargaining.
Meanwhile In New York 1t
was announced that the First
National Bank now has $13, $780,
900 in the UMW's health and
welfare fund. The fund Is to be
administered by three trustees,
one appointed by the govern
ment, one by the union, and the
third by the first two. None of
the three has yet been named.

Preach This
Practice That

ASH INGTON (LPA) -
Only a few days after the first
meeting of President Truman's
Committee on Civil Rights,
Washingtonians had to forcible
reminders of the tragic fact that
the nations capital doesn't prac-
tice what the nations leaders
preach.
President Truman walked
past a picket line at the Ma
tional Theater to see a perform
ance of Blossom Time, al
though he told reporters later
that he had not been aware of
the pickets or of their telegram
to him describing their cam
.paign to break down barriers
against Negroes attending the
theater. The pickets started
Jan. 13, and will. be present
every night until Lincoln's birth
day.
Negroes Air Barred
Charges that Negro workers
in now-liquidating wartime
agencies are being barred from
employment n many govern
ment bureau were aired recently
by newscaster Martin Agronsky
over the ABC network. Most
sensational charge was that
the Justice Dept, which has
the responsibility for enforcing
the no-diScrimination policy
in federal employment, has
one bureau which refuse to
hire any more Negro workers.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the Labor Dept. was also
cited by Agronsky as listing
clerical openings for whites but
none for Negroes.
The Presidents Committee,
which Is charged with drawing
up strengthened civil rights
statutes for the federal govern
ment, plans its next meeting
during the first week in Febru-
ary. Chairman is Charles E.
Wilson, General Electric Co.
President, and labor members
are CIO Secretary treasurer
James Carey and AFL represen-
tative Boris Shlshkin.

men up to 500 a week In the

.UE Local Gusts
commies: Then
UE Gusts Local

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Feb. 10
(LPA)-The general executive
board of the United Electrical,
Radio g. Machine Workers-CIO
struck back swiftly last week
against its large General Elec-
trio Local 203 here ater the local
expelled 27 members on charge
of Communism.
The boards reprisal was to re-
woke the charter of the local
which has a maintenance of
membership contract covering
1000 and to obtain a court order
requiring the locals officers to
show cause why they should not
be prohibited from transact
any union business.
The two leaders of the local,
President Michael Berescick and
Business Agent Joseph Julianelle
said that if the charter was not
restored the local would seek af-
filiation with another CIO union.
Berescick and Julianelle were
called by the House Un-Ameri-
can Activities c mittee to tes-
tify in Washingto IN Feb. 21.
In expelling the GE local, the
UE general executive board
charged unanimously that the
ousting of the 27 members was
"a violation of the constitutional
provision prohibiting political
discrimination. One of those ex-
PEELED was Josephine Willard,
well-known Communist and q
member of the locals executive
board.
Communism within the union
and in its leadership has been
actively fought for more than q
year by the UE Committee for
Democratic Action which claims
locals with affiliations of more
than $4,000.

Health Charity
Or Insurance
Up To Congress

w A S H IN G T ON, Feb. 19
(LPA)-Two methods of meet
ing the nations medical needs
are coming into head-on conflict
in this session Of Congress.
Republican Senators Taft, Ball
and Smith last week introduced
a bill providing for the payment
OF federal tax funds to the states
for medical and dental services
to individuals who cannot pay
the whole cost of medical serv
ices themselves. In addition the
bill creates conditions that will
allow the use of federal funds tc
subsidize monopolistic prepaid
medical service plans run by
state affiliates of the American
Medical Assn.
AT the same time, the Socia
Security Board in It's eleventh
annual report to Congress called
for a national health insurance
program financed by contribu
tions from workers, employers
and federal tax funds along the
lines of existing social security
legislation.
Prefer Prepaid Care
In presenting It's report the So
.cial Security Board indirectly at
tackled the legislation sponsored
by Senator Taft by declaring
that ally self.supportine
persons would prefer a system
of prepaid medical care, rather
than seek free care"
Support of the Taft bill wa,
announced by the American
Medical Association, which has
consistently sought to control
federal funds used for medical
care and has opposed any ma
tional system enabling workers
to pay the costs of medical care
through small monthly payroll
deductions.
Following the filing of the
Taft'Ball-Smith bill, the Commit.
tee for the Nations Health an.
nounced that a national health
Insurance program would be
submitted to Congress In the
very near future as an opposi,
ton bill. The committee, which
lists both Philip Murray and
William Green among It's mem
bers, i-Tucd q detailed criticism
Of the Taft bill.

AS streams of anti-union wit
nesses appeared before both
committees, distinctions among
the various union-wrecking bills
disappeared. The B a l-Taft-
Smith bill, which had priority
three weeks ago, seemed likely
to have some of its provisions

Injuries Show Jump

WASHINGTON LPA) - A
rise IN the number of work In,
juries during 1946 was report.
ed last week by the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics of the Dept. of
Labor. More than 100000
workers were disabled by In.
juries on the job last year, 10
above the 1945 total.
Even more shocking was the
estimate of time actually lost
from work because of these In.
juries - nearly 47 million days.
These injuries on the job cost
the nation the equivalent of the
services of $4,000 full-time
workers for the year.
