Britain Won't
 Curb Politics For American $

SAN FRANCISCO - CPD = Britain will never agree to the sug- gestion made by Harold Stassen that further American aid must depend on the slowing down of the nationaliza- tion program, Arthur Deakin, general council member of the British Trades Union Congress told the AFL's Goth national convention here.
 we have never interfered in the internal policy of other countries" he said, Out neither do we accept the right of any country to interefere in our internal affairs"
 "We have agreed with our gov- ernment," he told the convention, ''that through direction of labor all available manpOwer resources shall be made available for the higher priority industries and services.
 ''The older capitalist discipline was work or starve'," the British unionist declared. ''The new social discipline arising out of the cOun- try's needs requires men and wO- men to accept essential work, which might be relatively easier, more comfortable and better paid than the unessential jobs."
 British fraterna1 delegate Robert Openshaw told the convention British unionists have watched with consid- erable anxiety" passage of the Taft Hartley law, and wished the delegates success in their efforts to repeal it.

 John I. Kmetz

John T. Kmetz, appointed by Presi- dent Truman to, be Assistant Secre- tary of Labor is we'll known in labor circles.
 Kmetz, a member of the Executive Board of the United Mine Workers, replaced Philip Hannah, who resigned in protest against the Taft-Hartley Law. He will return to his position as Secretary of the Ohio Federation of Labor

Political League Proposal Before AFL Convention
(Continued from Page Onel

Continued from Page One) president of affiliated unions "at the earliest opportunity" to complete the structure outlining methods of pro cedure for "early and effective real ization to the political activities" pro- posed tonight.
 CHANGE PROPOSED
 The use of the new phrasing off cers and the executive council' was seen as a reference to the pending proposal that the A. F. of L.'s consti- tuition eliminate the thirteen vice presidents now on the executive coun- Gil as officers" by making them mere ly council members"
 This action was suggested in an effort to protect some 300, ,OOO workers belonging to ''Federal'' un- ions governed directly by the cOun- cil. The Taft-Hartley law provides that ''officers" governing union workers swear they are neither Communists or Communist sympa- thizers.
 John L. Lewis, now a president, has refused to do this, with the result that the rest of the council has asked that all thirteen vice-presidents be re- moved from the constitutional dehni- ton of officers
 The announcement was the first any distinction has been made between council members and officers. The convention has not actually amended the constitution yet, however.
 The council explained its recOm- mendation for the league, saying, '"'the tragic failure of the Eightieth Congress to serve the people, its ab- ject servility in advancing the in- terests of the most reactionary anti-labor Hobbies and combina- tions, and the wave of legislation against labor i'm the various State Legislatures make imperative the need for sound political education and effective political action by Nor- ganized labor."
 The question remains just how the league" or some other politica1-ac- tion group will be financed and how extensive that financing will be. One plan now pending calls for yearly voluntary" assessments of 25 cents a member, and additional voluntary contributions" of $2 a member to create funds exceeding $18,000,O00 for use in the lo48 campaign alone. This question will be settled by the con- vention in the next few days.

Sheet Metalers All Joined Up

San Francisco (LPA)-An unpar- alleled organization record was dis closed here this week by President Robert Byron, of the Sheet Metal Workers, as the AFL convention opened.
 With membership at an all time high, Byron declared We've got our craft organized close to 1O09o. If we secured the US. and Canada I don't believe we could find 1000 workers within our jurisdiction who are not yet in the union"
 At the same time President Dan Tracy, of the Int'1 Brotherhood of Electrical Workers-AFL, revealed that IBEW membership had scared over 100000 for the first time and was still climbing.

Profit Sharing With Workers Advocated


 Coming from banker, this has ar unusual sound. Wallace Moir, presi- dent of the Belmont Investment com pany, Beverly Hills Calf. told the Mortgage Bankers Association, meet ing at Cleveland, that "if our hard won democracy is in danger it is largely because of continuing economic ills"
 He said that profit-sharing by employers with employees s'may be the most powerful weapon against socialism and commun- ism."
 Our system of business. Moir con- tended, is "a profit system" It is es- sential that workers as well as bosses share the profits, he insisted.

A.F.L. Asks U.S.. Aid For Schools And Teachers

(Continued from Page One) cation processes are growing too for malized. "The intimate relation of schooling and training for the com munity's life has been generally lost, it declared.
 A third criticism was that "far too many" schools have ''watered curricuIa." The council contended that, to guard against this, "cur- ricuIa should be planned by teach CTS and other qualified citizens who are aware of, or sensitive to, the needs of functional democracy. ,.
 The council also criticized the diff ference in pay scale between school administrators and actual teachers, saying that it was a strange set of values" which allowed purchasers of school supplies in public school sys- tenn to get higher pay than its teach ers."
 RECOMMENDS FEDERAL AID
 To overcome such shortcomings, the council told the convention, "the A. F. of L. must fight for legislation granting Federal aid for education. 7" In addition, the council recommended that the A. F. of L. see to 1t that Con gress write into law provisions that :
 l. Educational processes, such as curriculum content, teachers and textbooks, be guaranteed against any form of Federal con- trol.
 2. Rights of minority groups be guaranteed protection. r 3. All Federal funds be allocated among the various states con a basis of relative need."
 4. Federal funds supplement and not supplant state funds.
 5. At least 75 per cent of the Federal aid be used to increase teachers salaries-that is-actual teachers.
 6. Federal funds be made avail able to every part of state, ac- cording to need.
 z. Local and state agencies, pulp licize their plans for spending Fed eral money and, after spending it, to publicize the results.
 8. A minimum be set for the amount state and local govern ments must spend on education for each child.
 The council concluded with the postulate that "the granting of the right to be educated is not enough !; that right must be implemented in such a way as to afford each person the opportunity to enjoy the right"

Ladies Should Be
 Taught To Bargain

Washington (LPA)-Pointing out that the women are the ones who "are expected to do the real managing when the going gets tough" the Sep tember issue of the Machinists Monthly Journal strongly criticized trade unionists for failure to inform their own wives on unionism. Women must understand the need for unions, says the Journal, but the men don't tell them because they want to be the experts.

REJECTS
ABC STOR'ES BY
81 VOTES YESTERDAY

HICKORY, Sept. Is. - @ -
The City of Hickory today re-
jected alcoholic beverage control
stores by 81 votes.
The final unofficial vote was:
against the stores, 2,466; for the
stores, 1879.
The result came as somewhat
of a surprise since the city area
had polled a $50 majority fol
the stores when Catawba county
voted on the question in 1898
At that time a rural dry majority
defeated the stores.
The vote was the largest in
the city's history, about 5000
were registered.
It was the first such election
by a single city on the ABC
question in the Piedmont area
this year. Previously Rowan
county voted dry and Mecklen-
burg county voted wet.
