What Low
Really Med11s
Taft, Hartley Have
Different Opinions

Washington (LPA) = The new
Taft Hartley law took on all the
elements of high comedy last week
when its two authors, Sen. Robert
Taft (R., Ohio) and Rep. Fred
Hartley (R., N. J.), violently con-
tradicted each other on what the
law really means.
Labor lawyers, who predicted
from the beginning that the bill
was drawn so vaguely that the
courts would have difficulty in in
terpreting it, were gleeful as Taft
and Hartley met head on after
John l.. Lewis signed the new coal
contract.
Hartley charged on the floor of
the House of Representatives. on
July 9, the day after the contract
was signed, that the provision in
the UNIV agreement for checkoff
of initiation fees and assessments
made every coal operator signing
the pact criminally liable for fines
up to $4,000 and Imprisonment up
to one year.
Said Taft: 81 don't think it is
violation of the law. l don't agree
that the bill tries to say what kind
of contract should be made" And
as if to give Hartley an extra kick
in the teeth, Taft said, 81 don't
know any provision of the bill that
the (UMW) contract tries to get
around. There are many things in
the contract that show a direct eff
fort to comply with the law"
But Hartley told Congress-: "In
my opinion, this agreement clearly
reflects collusion between the mine
operators and the United Mine
Workers with the intention of vio-
lating the law"
The big question now, according
to labor lawyers, is whose law is
it-Hartley's or Taft's? And
which one is being violated if a un-
ion does what?

canned music % out of "a hours a
day, and the threat of the movie
industry where 900 men are max
ing the music for the movies Of the
entire world"
There was an overnight loss of
$4,000 theater jobs when sound
pictures came in, Petrillo said.
There is no such thing as a music
ian making a living making re-
cords, he declared. "There is no
way of proving how many radi&.
stations make records in theAl
studios of music that goes over the
air and then use them again. We
can't prove it." Of the 904 affiliat-
ed radio stations in the country
only 603 employ musicians, he said.
If some solution is not found in
the dispute between the recording
and broadcasting companies and
the union, said Petrillo, the AIM
will be forced to halt it's members
from making any more phono-
graph recordings after Dec. 81 and
from participating in network
broadcasts after next Feb. /. A
musician may get $4,000, which can
be the top payment for both popu-
lar and concert artists, Petrillo
said, but he is "cut out of $1,0O0,-
600 worth of business"

Match Union Bars Strike
Accepts Pay Raise Offer

Ogdensburg, N. Y. (ILNS).-
AFL union workers employed by
the b F B division of the Diamond
Match Co. voted against strike
and accepted a company offer of a
pay increase of 10 cents an hour,
a union spokesman said. The
workers are members of Local 121,
international Brotherhood of Pulp,
Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers.
The increase raises the basic
hourly rate to 85 cents. The COM
pany previously had rejected union
demands for % and 18 cents an
hour pay increases.

Probers Prove
Only Thof Union
Projects Jobs

Washington (LPA)-A two day
investigation of President James
c.. Petrillo, of the American Fed
Grafton of Musicians-AFL, by a
House Labor Subcommittee ended
in a squeaking fanfare last week
as Committee Member r. M. Nix
on (R., CALI announced that the
group would "put him on probation
for 60 days to see if his promises
to be good boy will work out"
This near-farcical conclusion of
the highly publicized hearings in
volved only Petrillo's agreement to
investigate situations where school
radio stations were required to pay
union stand-bys while school mus
icians were on the air.
For nearly two days, the three
man group-all right hand men of
Rep. Fred Hartley (R, N. ]. J.)-had
attempted to bait Petrillo into ad-
mitting that he was a union "dic-
tator" and that AIM policies were
threatening to strangle the record
ing and broadcasting industries
unless they won relief thru legis-
lation.
Point by point Petrillo answered
charges by the anti-labor group
and drew a stark picture of how
chronological unemployment in the
music industry has already thrown
many thousands of musicians out
of their jobs. He predicted that
music jobs would be reduced by
500 in the coming year if music
ians are not given greater protec-
tion against canned music, juke
boxes, radio stations that play

Hungry Millions
Look To America
For Needed Food

! Washington (LPA)-"Many mil
lions of people are still desperate
ly hungry" President Truman re-
minded citizens of the United
States last week, in a report on
this nations food production and
shipments abroad.
At the same time, Agriculture
Sec'y Clinton Anderson cautioned
the Intl Cereals Conference, meet
ing in Paris, that the U. S. could
not "bridee the gap" between the
need for cereals and available sup
plies. World cereal reauir 0ments
have grown from 38,000,000 tons
last year to 50,OC0,0C0 tons during
the next IL months. Last year, 28,-
0CO,C00 tons were exported to
hungry nations - including 1917
tons sold for use abroad by the
u. S.
at is hoped that we will be able
to approximate this years ship
ments, if transportation and ship
ping facilities are adequate and if
the necessary financial arrange
ments are completed" Turman re-
ported.
eve shall know more about this
when the corn crop is harvested"
Floods and bad planting condi-
tions are expected to cut the corn
crop, according to the Agriculture
Dept, which has also predicted
that a feed shortage would result
in another meat shortage next
spring. The u. s. is expected to
have a record breaking wheat crop,
but "A severe winter has cut wheat
production in most of the rest Of
the world.
Meanwhile, speculation in corn
as result of the shortage predic-
tions, and the expectations of
world hunger resulted in more
all-time high prices for corn on the
Chicago Board of Trade in the
week ending July 10.

Steel Industry
Scorci+yPIons
Inviting Slump

Washington LPA)-The steel
industry's plans for scarcity" pro-
duction which could hit every Sec
tion of the American economy
were assailed last week by labor
and government economists.
A special Senate Small Business
Subcommittee investiga at n G
charges that the steel industry, in
the face of an enormous backlog of
demands, is operating at 800 be-
low the probable demand five years
from now, heard President Walter
S. Tower, of the American Iron e.
Steel Institute, testify that "Pre-
sent capacity is entirely adequate
to take care of any demand likely
to be developed in 1850"
But previously President w.
Sykes, of Inland Steel, told the
subcommittee that "true capacity"
of the US. steel industry now is
about 80,CC0,0oO tons per year.
Sykes said "We arrive at an aver
age ingot consumption of about
54,000,CC0 tons for the next few
years"
Government and labor econom-
lists, however, declare that in terms
of Labor Dept figures that "if in
1860 full employment is to prevail
with job opportunities for $4,000
GOO persons in civilian employment
and 100000 in the armed serv-
ices, the amount of steel that
would be required would range be-
tween 9S and 100000 TONS"
Louis Bean, Agriculture ID ep't
economist, told the subcommittee,
that ut is on the basis of 1929 fig
ures now 18 years old that Sykes
and others conclude that demand
for the expected population of
1850 and 1855 will be about 76,-
100000 and 78,0O0,O0O tons respec-
lively" These estimates, said
Bean, if they were to materialize,
could mean 10-12,000,000 unem-
ployed in the early 1905"
