Mr.. Weir, who recently returned

newsmen yesterday, after confer
ence on steel production, that lit
seems to me some European coun-
tries can help themselves more than
they now are doing"
AS an example he cited British
coal production, which he said has
fallen from the prewar 240,000,0 900
tons annually to about 10000, 900

Mr.. Barnes, who has served as a

and said there is mo finer express
sion for the deep-rooted urge to
help others less fortunate than we
are"
The campaign to support 125 Red

economical enterprise in which each
of us can and must share respon-
sibility which no one else can dis
charge for U.S." Mr.. Barnes state
ment said.
This year, with needs for all types
of guidance and assistance increas-
ing rapidly, we must overSubscribe
the $3,900000 goal by generously in
creasing our gifts. The coming years
necessary welfare services cannot be
supported adequately unless we give
more than we gave before"

was the action of two more
states =. Pennsylvania and
Michigan - in placing anti-la
Dor measures on the statute
books.
In the Wolverine State, Gov.
ernor Kim Sigler signed an
omnibus bill which had Oeen
bitterly denounced by all un.
ions. 1t outlaws jurisdictional
strikes and utility walkouts, re-
quiring compulsory arbitration
of disputes in the latter indus
try.
The measure also carries
compulsory cooling off" peri

tions; makes strikes illegal I'M
less approved by majority

restrictions. Sigler signed it
DESPITE an admission that it had

amendment later.
In Pennsylvania, Gov. James
H. Duff signed a measure out
lawing utility strikes and re-
quiring compulsory arbitration.
He also approved another bill
placing new curbs on the right
to picket.

In the former, 16 repres-
sive measures, many of which
would strip labor of its rights,
were in the hopper, but united
opposition by all branches of
labor - AFL, CIO and Rail
road Brotherhoods - prevented
a single one from reaching the
point of passage.
In Oklahoma also a large
number of "union-busting" bills
were introduced, but joint ac-
tion by the entire trade union
movement, with help from pro-
gressive legislators, blocked all
of them.
Another big gain during the
fortnight was the action of Gov
Thomas j. Herbert (R., Ohio -
Sen. Taft's home state) in We
toing the first full.fledged "lit-
tie Taft-Hartley bill" to pass
any state legislature.
The measure carried most of
the teeth of the big" Taft

legislature, but the entire labor
movement united in an appeal
to the governor to veto the

cIO Advises
Rent Fight

WASHINGTON, July 9 (LPA)
-CIO industrial union councils
have been urged to keep the
rent down and the roof on" de-
spite the new rent control law.
In a letter sent to all state and
local IUC's last week by IUC
Director John Brophy and Legis-
lative Director Nathan Cowan,
the warning was sounded that
from now on tenants will have
to organize and be prepared to
act together" to resist 15% rent
increases and unjust evictions.
"When a substantial majority
of renters in an apartment or in
a neighborhood have refused to
sign leases at 159o advance they
will be in a strong position to
resist rent increases or eviction
next March when the present
law expires" Brophy and Cowan
wrote.
The CIO Councils were ad-
vised that unjust evictions
should be resisted by every
proper means. Tenants should be
promptly informed of eviction
moves by / a n d Tor ds. Letters
be written to the local
papers. New paper editors
be visited For these
purposes, a house-by-house,
block-byblock organization of
tenants was urged.
