Labor Unites In San Francisco For Elections

SAN FRANCISCO-(FP)- In the most important labor development here in recent years, the AFL and CIO have agreed on an "all-out coali- tion" to back a complete pro-1abor city ticket in the November election.
 Decision to launch joint pOliti- cal campaign was reached at an unprecedented meeting at the Gift hotel attended by IF AFL and IS CIO representatives called after the San Francisco board of super- visors pushed through a city sales tax over labor opposition.
 A joint statement, issued by Pres. John Shelley of the Central Labor Council and Sec. Paul Schnur of the CIO Council, said:
 "The keystone of the labor program in the November municipal elections is opposition to this unfair, aggressive sales tax voted by the board of super visors despite the contrary verdict of San Francisco voters less than one year ago.
 ''From this start we will go on to give consideration to all candi- dates for office. We also invite the cooperation of all other civic groups interested in this program. "

Labor Press Gets No Help
 On Shortage
Congress Committee Makes Noise, But Newsprint
 Scarcity Continues

Washington = CPD = There is a lot of loud noise but little record of performance in the report of the House select committee on newsprint and paper supply issued this week The group was set up early this year to investigate the paper shortage threatening the 1ifes of hundreds of small publications.
 Resembling the speeches of the committee chairman, Rep. Clar. ence Brown (R, O., the report promises big things to follow. But it offers no hope to the labor press and other small newspapers whose freedom to express ideas is curtaiI- ed by the big dailies' control of most of the national newsprint sup. ply at its source-the paper mills,
 Brown admits in his signed report that the committee soon found it had two main jobs: CD to bring about g fair distribution of the paper available and CD, to increase the overall paper supply. But the months of "investiga- ton" of which he boasts were spent on the details of paper manufacture and the chances for putting up new mills i'll the south, in Alaska and ir the Rocky Mountains.
 Although the unjust distribution set. up was given almost no hearing, the Brown report does boast that his group devoted much time and atten- tion to helping individual publishers meet their immediate newsprint needs. In addition, the committee staff is analyzing answers to questionnaire on how paper is sold.
 The committee comes to the con. clusion, according to Browns re. port, that ''paper prices are already at their peak,"' that there is no jus. tificatiOn for further increase. and that prices soon should de. cline. It says paper mills should be pushed in the south, and that the US. supply shouud be ''sufficien, to meet military needs in time oi war;" The need for paper to pro tect freedom of the press and to promote education of the people is nowhere mentioned.
 The committees future? Brown says the committee expects Ito continue" its non-existent work toward equitable distribution of newsprint, will study de-inking of used paper and will peer into charges of 'great waste of news. print and other papers by the federal government"

WRITTEN AUTHORITY

WRITTEN AUTHORITY
 Until the passage of the Taft Hartley Law, the so-called ''involun- tary check-off' was permissible in Connecticut. Where an involuntary check-off was provided in a union contract, the employer was obliged to deduct union dues, whether or not the individual members specifi- cally authorized such deduction.
 Under the new law, however, any deduction of dues by an interstate em- ployer without a written authorization from the employee concerned is made criminal offense and is made subject to fine of not more than $10,0O000, Imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. The penalties apply both to the employer paying and the repre- sentative receiving, the amount checked off.
 The following points should be re- membered with regard to check-off provisions
 l. This section of the Taft Hartley Law was effective on the passage of the Law on June 23, l947; there is no 6O-day period of grace with respect to check-off.
 2. Involuntary or any other type of check-off pursuant to a contract entered into before June 23, l947 is legal until the expira- ton of the contract, or until July |, l948, whichever is first.
 5. Under the Law only mem bership dues may be checked off 1; initiation fees, fines and assess ments may not be subject to the check-off and must be collected from the members themselves.
 4. Check-Off of membership dues continues to be legal if each em- plOyee whose dues are checked off authorizes it in writing; if some but not all of the employees of an em- ployer authorize the check-Off, the employer may check off the dues of the employees who authorize it but not of the other employees.
 The authorization of the employees must be in writing and may not be ir-

AIR SAFETY:
May Add 'Chutes

Parachutes for passengers may
be installed aboard all transport
planes in an effort to curb the mum.
Der of fatalities among air trav-
elers.
Wallace S. Dawson, safety direc-
tor of the civil aeronautics board,
says his office has been studying
feasibility of such a plan for several
months but has not yet reached a
decision, adding that there Is So
so chance that CAB may recon-
mend the move.
Paramount consideration is who
would pay for the cost of putting
parachutes on transport planes,
Dawson said, pointing out that the
plan would mean also that every
alrplane crew in the country would
have to be given special training In
supervising passengers in use OF the
'chutes.
Admitting that in some cases
parachutes would be useless. Daw-
son said that in most accidents pas
sengers would have time to don
parachutes and escape.

FEED PRICES:
To Stay Up

Prospects for the 1947 feed crops
will be an important influence on
feed prices, according to a depart
ment Of agriculture report.
The very strong foreign demand
for grain is expected to continue to
support prices through 1947 and into
1913; although if production of feed
is as large as in recent years, feed
prices probably will decline, at
least seasonally, in the last half of
1947.
Corn prices this summer, the re-
port predicted. will average higher
than the June, 1916, ceilings, but
lower than in the summer of 1916
after price controls lapsed.
The departments survey went on
to reveal that reports in early May
indicated that approximately 1872
million bushels of 1916 corn would
be marketed this season. That fig
ure would be so per cent greater
than the 1892 average and IA per
cent above the previous record
sales from the 1914 crop. Farm
sales Of other feed grains from 1916
crops also ran generally larger.

armed forces would be used to pre-
vent trouble during the transition
from British rule to independence.
Mountbatten emphasized that
Moslem India and Hindu India
would be completely independent
under the partition plan and that
each would be wholly free to leave
the British empire or remain as a
dominion.
He said that partition was against
his own .''better judgment" but
added that it was the only way that
India could achieve independence
speedily.
Some suspicion continued, mean
while, that Great Britain was split
ting India in order to retain influ-
ence at least in the Moslem part,
but much of the bitterness arising
out of that attitude had vanished.

NEW DANGER:
Fear Corn BOrer

Already impaired by constant
rains and cool weather which have
harried the corn belt this spring,
the corn crop faces a new danger Of
infestation Of corn borers because
of the late season.
This year the damp weather did
not permit much corn to go in dur
ing the normal May 20 to Is plant
ing period, so most of the corn was
planted later. Wet, cold weather
also held back the emergence Of the
first brood Of borers; and as re-
suit, the late planted corn which
would ordinarily be safe from at
tack now will be subject to damage
from the pests.
Last year the corn borer caused
81 million dollars crop damage
throughout the nation. The borer
threat now is so serious that special
radio broadcasts have been set up
to keep farmers aware Of the pests
progress.

Braden, long a foe of Peron and
his methods, told Mr.. Truman in a
letter that personal responsibilities
compelled him to return to private
business. His resignation is sched-
uled to become effective June 30.
Departure of Braden from the
state department followed closely
on the heels of his being overruled
by the administration on two basic
issues in. nter-American relations:
Supplying of arms to Latin-Ameri-
can nations and formation Of mill
tary alliance with other republics in
the western hemisphere. Braden
had opposed both of those policies.
