Hartley Doesn't
Like TIL oW
or The NLRB

Boston - UPA) - Rep. Fred
Hartley (R., N. J.) doesn't like the
Taft Hartley law as it is and he
doesn't like the new Natl Labor
Relations Board as it is.
Hartley's legislative brainchild is
weak in one respect because it fails
"to make it federal offense to in
terfere with the rights of worker
to go to his job" In addition its
sections dealing with strikes affect
ing the national welfare and mass
picketing should be strengthened,
said Hartley. Next he declared he
would like to see the Sherman Anti
Trust Act applied to unions.
AS to the NLRB, Hartley said,
81 am not satisfied with it." As
serting that some members are not
Sin sympathy" with the law, the
New Jersey union-hater specifical-
ly cited Abe Murdock, former liber-
al Senator from Utah, as zone man
who does not favor the act"
Hartley climaxed his speech with
Philip Murray could "do much to
the opinion that CIO President
combat initiation if he would stop
pressing for wage increases and in
crease the productivity and output
of the CIO."

Teomsfers' Union
Propose Controls
To Check Prices

Indianapolis-LPA)- The cur
rent worries of Congressman about
high prices are we'll justified, an
editorial in the current issue of
international Teamsters asserts.
"Under rising clamor from the
public for some kind of government
action to save them, Congress has
begun to fret about prices" says
the official magazine of the lnt'l
Brotherhood of Teamsters-AFL.
at is listening to all kinds of ex-
plantations and all kinds of solu-
tions = except the restoration of
federal controls"
Federal controls would work"
to bring down prices, the IBT jour-
nal asserts. "They are the only
thing that would work. No doubt
that is why Congress does not con-
slider them"
Sen. Taft's advice to "eat less"
to bring prices down, according to
the Teamster publication, is re-
miniscent of the queen of France
who once callously commented on
the hunger of her citizens in a like
vein. Let them eat cake she quip-
ped, when told they had no bread.
That is why there are no more
queens in France. And let us hope
the day will soon come when there
are no more Tafts in Congress"

Taft Sounds off
On New AFL Fund

Columbus, Ohio-(LPA) = Sen.
Robert Taft (R., Ohio) last week
stepped out in front of the parade
of labor-haters and Taft-Hartley
Congressman who are expected to
wrangle for weeks to come over
whether the AFL's projected ST.
100000 a year publicity and edu-
cational program is legal or lille
gal.
Taft confessed he was not in
formed as to details of the AFL's
plan but that did not prevent him
from asserting, 81 think they have
no legal right to make an assess
ment against members for that
purpose, but if the levy is in the
form of a voluntary contribution
that would be perfectly legal"
Sen. Claude Pepper 3D., Fla.)
flatly disagreed with Taft and con-
tended that the Ohioan's stand
would mean "a denial of the right
of freedom of appeal, freedom of
speech and civil liberties"
Sen. Wayne Morse (R., Ore.)
commented, at is perfectly clear
that the proponents of the Taft
Hartley law sought to prevent the
use of union funds in political cam
paigns. | said at the time and say
now that such an objective is un-
workable"

Social Security
Information

Workers reaching the age Of 65
should go to the Social Security
office at their first opportunity,
whether they intend to continue
working or not. This statement
was made today by Glenn H. Pit
tenger, manager Of the Youngs-
town office of the Social Security
Administration.
Such a visit is of value, accord
ing to Mr.. Pittenger, because the
worker may obtain complete in
formation regarding his Individual
case. He will receive a thorough
explanation of his rights and pri-
vileges under the Social Security
laws-and, if it appears to be to
his advantage, he will be advised
to make application for payment,
even though he is still employed.
Such a procedure is often recon-
mended because payments can be
made more quickly when the work.
er finally leaves his job.
"Many people fail to apply for
Social Security payments for
months after they become eligible,
simply because they do not know
that they are eligible" said Mr..
Pittenger. "This results in financial
loss to the worker, since the law
states back payments may be made
for only three months.
"The solution to this problem is
for every worker aged 65 or over
to find out for himself how the
Social Security laws affect him.
This information will be given him
without charge by any representa-
tive of the Social Security Admin
istration-and his inquiry will be
kept strictly confidential.
81 strongly recommend that all
workers over 65 call upon our rep
resentatives as soon as they can
conveniently. do so."
A representative of the Social Sc
curity Administration is in the
Post Office at East Liverpool every
Wednesday from Hoo A. M. to
400 P. M.

Contract Signed BY Pointers Union
Gives Members Full Medical Care

New York City.-District Council
8 of the AFL's Brotherhood of
\ Painters, Decorators and Paper
Ehangers Of America, announced the
signing of an agreement under
which 5000 union members will re-
ceive complete medical care.
The plan will provide complete
service by doctors in homes, at
their offices and in hospitals. 1t
will include specialist and full sur
gical care, diagnostic aid labor.
atory procedures, periodic health
and eye examinations and visiting
nurse and ambulance service.
Under previous agreement in
effect since May, 1916, painters
in District Council 8 already re-
ceive life insurance, accidental
death and dismemberment insur-
ance, weekly accident and sickness
aid and disqualification benefits for
themselves and their families.
These services are financed
through employer contributions of
3 percent of the gross payroll to
the Painting Industry Insurance
Fund. The fund is administered
jointly by three employer trustees
and three union trustees.
The pact was signed in the office
of Martin E. Segal, group health
insurance consultant, at II East
Forty-ninth Street. He said higher
wages, in addition to dividends
earned through the insurance fund,
made it possible 70 chtain the new
medical benefits wiihodt increasing
tie employers contribution of 3
rerr6lt.
Mr.. Segal estimated that the new
benefits would cost $4,000 a year
and that if employment in the
painting industry continued at
high level, employer contributions
would amount to 100000 annu-
ally.

Trumun Calls
(CoBiinued From Page OHe)

Truman did not specifically men
tion the form Of price control or
rationing he would propose Nov.
II, but his Council of Economic
Advisers is known to have pro-
posed controls on basic commodi-
ties like wheat and coal at an
early stage in the distribution pro-
cess, to insure that they are used
where they are needed whether for
export or home consumption on a
fair basis.
Two misunderstanding that have
had wide circulation were effectiv-
ly answered by the President.
"An attempt has been made,"
Truman asserted, to place the
blame for high prices in the u. s.
upon our foreign aid program, but
this is not borne out by the facts"
eve now have-and will continue
to have-enough food and clothing
and other goods in the U. S. to
meet our needs" he insisted.
"The major cause of high prices
in this country is the great demand
among our own people for available
goods"
Replying indirectly to the criti-
cisms by the Communist Party in
this country and the direct spokes-
men for the Soviet Union, Truman
said bluntly: ut is nonsense to
say that we seek dominance over
any other nation. We believe in
freedom, and we are doing all we
can to support free men and free
governments thruout the world"
The short-range foreign policy
program which Truman asked Con-
gress to pass covering the period
between mid November and March
81, 1948, pending passage of en-
abling legislation for the Marshall
Plan, requires: $357,OO0,O00 for
France $685., 100000 for Italy; ad-
ditional funds for occupied areas
in Germany, Japan and Korea.
Truman's call for a special ses-
sion came at a time when food

buck the food industry at every
step. Last week, spokesman for
poultry and feed producers tried to-.
get the egg-less, poultry-less Thurs
days abolished. Chairman Charles
Luckman, after several strenuous
sessions, announced that the poul-
trymen had proposed no reasonable
alternative to a cut in consump-
tion of eggs and poultry as means
of saving precious wheat.

end Of July 1916.
Dry weather, which threatened to
continue thru this week, added to
the problems Of wheat production.
In the midwest, this is the time for
seeding winter wheat, but dust con-
ditions have prevented this.
Notice of the special session
came at the end of three weeks of
the voluntary food-saving program.
From the beginning the Citizens

ing upward. Wholesale and primary
market prices were only slightly
lower than the postwar peak reach
ed during the fourth week in Sep
tember. The prices of farm pro-
ducts, according to the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics, was at new all

Of June 1916. Prices Of food were

fects. The 40c minimum wage and
low productivity, he insisted, had
been major contributors to the
present initiation. Under persistent
questioning by Madden, he finally
agreed that the ending of wartime

the economy as result of the
war, had a great deal to do with
current high prices.

Communism Danger Emphasized
70 the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
A dark cloud has spread its shadow over the
world in the increasing demand for more pay.
Whether the laborer is worthy Of his pay or
not is not the consideration. The conSidera
ton seems to be the pay ITSELF 1t would be
better for many of those who strike for more
pay to strike for better thinking, for better
knowledge of themselves, and for better con-
sideration of others who are dependent upon
their labors, as they are dependent, in turn,
upon the labors Of others. It Is the sum OF the
atoms that holds this world together.
In the course of human life many changes
naturally occur and the individual should profit
if the mind is diverted from day to day cares
thus to sense underlying problems. The fact
that we are living in a revolutionary age is
obvious. Conditions affect our economic and
political systems and new forces become evi-
dent Organized labor exerts a potent influ-
ence and seemingly is making bid for control
of our economy. A decisive victory for the
CIO brand of unionism would impede private
enterprise and could result in a changed form
of government-probably Communism Accord
ing to the FBI, Communists are everywhere"
Speaking before the American Legion Con-
vention in San Francisco, j. Edgar Hoover
stated that more or less directly they were at
work at every level and in every organization.
The Communists themselves boast that for
every party member there are ten others ready
to do the party's work. WALTER I. PRIEST.

their task" This is clear bid for a new
general election and the return of the
Conservatives to power. It reflects the
feeling current in Tory circles that the
drastic measures needed to cope with the
coming crisis, If advanced by the present
government, will split the Labor Party
from top to bottom. while if they are not
undertaken, the ensuing economic crisis
will be so severe as to turn majority of
the people against the entire Labor Party
This diagnosis has not been substan-
tiated by the by-elections of recent months.
Yet Britain's economic woes are so acute
and so cumulative that rapid shifts of
public opinion are possible in the near
future. At any rate, that appears to be
the Conservative calculation which their
veteran leader has so provocatively voiced.

The Ford Settlement

On Monday of this week Henry Ford II
made public statement in which he said
that the United Automobile Workers in
sistence on a contract clause exempting
them from damage suits seems to us a
disastrous precedent for scuttling the
union responsibility provisions of the Taft
Hartley law"
When a settlement on this point, de-
scribed as a compromise" was reached
yesterday, MIR. Ford again issued a state
ment in which he said that the agreement
seems to us an eminently fair solution to
a particularly thorny problem"
It is hard to reconcile these statements
against the background of the settlement
itself For If that settlement is COM
promise, it is one which gives the union
substantially what it wanted. All that the
company seems to get is an agreement to
study the question of union liability for
breach of contract, plus the hope that
some adjustment of the issue may be
written into next years contract.
One cannot easily find a sound basis
for criticism of the Ford company, how
ever, even If it be assumed that 1t has
retreated from its original position. For
IL 1t had elected to stand its ground,
strike would almost certainly have been
called And thas in turn, would have in
volved serious financial consequences for
the company, especially in the light of
today's competitive situation in the auto
mobile industry, and no little inconven-
ience to the public which is still waiting
for new automobiles
Nor does this settlement mean that the
law has been f1outed. The Taft-Hartley
Act gives an employer the right to sue
union for breach of contract, but it does
not say that he must exercise the right
If he wants to waive it, he is entirely free
to do so. and that is all that the Ford
company has done in this instance.
Finally there is certain reasonable
ness about the tone of MIR. Ford's second
statement which merits favorable con-
sideration. ANY new labor legislation"
he said, raises problems of human rela-
tionships. 1t has become apparent to us
that all of the ramif1cations of such prob
lens cannot be ironed out Immediately
around the bargaining table Under today's
settlement, opportunity has now been pro-
vided for finding in less hectic surround
Evening star., 1947-08-06

ings solution within the spirit of the
Taft Hartley law acceptable to both the
union and the company"
This may be wishful thinking. Perhaps
the Ford company will discover that, after
all, 1t has set disastrous precedent. But
those who will complain about the settle
ment, and who would like to see Ford
bear the brunt of finish fight with
the union on this issue, should not be too
sure of their ground. For the right to sue
union of ones own employees is at best
dubious remedy. There still remains
possibility that self-restraint and con-
ciliatory approach may pay more dividends.
