} "The purposes, policies. and procedures of our trade union movement undergrad free enter prise by assuring more adequate purchasing power = an essentially stabilizing force in a sustained prosperity.
 Unions are the method by which wage earners promote their welfare more effectively than would be pos sible for them as individuals. Through the union, workers have become a self-directed element in free enterprise and have given their members effective opportunity to promote their welfare.
 Their progress is conditioned by their wisdom, their discipline and their resourcefulneSs. They as well as management have everything to gain by sound union policies and practices and much to lose if un- sound substitutes are tried
 Make no mistake about the principle that free unions are just as essential to free enterprise as is free management. Enterprise can maintain its freedom only if it uses it's freedom wisely and makes its ultimate guide service to fel- low men.
 Free enterprise is carried on by human beings. There are few per- feet ones. In developing the wider concept of free enterprise, some unions have made mistakes as have some homogeneous"
 Describing the union as "an es- Sential economic, social and politi- cal agency in a democratic society" MT. Green warned:
 Its faults cannot be remedied by limiting its functions and, in addition, that course would result in lower standards of living for two-thirds of the population.
 "The supreme test of democratic statesmanship is to find how gov- ernment may best serve our citi- zens and help private institutions best to perform their functions"

Charges NEA and Affiliotes Inspire Public School Crisis

Teachers associations have oper- ated much like those forms of stu dent government in which the stu dents are led to think they are gov erning themselves but are being tactfu1ly persuaded to adopt mea- sureS handed down by their super iorS."
 MT. Kuenzli, charging the NEA with alarm among teachers, said:
 .'The NEA has recently adopted a policy of atempting to stop the un- ionization of teachers by 'out-un- ionizing the union.' Following the advice of the group of psycholo- gists who advocate, assume a virtue if you have it not the NEA has suddenly assumed the trappings and terminology of the labor move ment.
 "Nonunion associations have sud- denly become locals and hand book for Locals has recently been published.
 ''This paradoxical policy of att tempting masquerade as unions, while at the same time vigorously opposing unions for teachers, can accomplish little other than to deepen the company union com plexion of the NEA affiliates.
 Just as company unions were largely responsible for the deplor- able working conditions in the public schools which have driven thousands of teachers from the pro- fession and discouraged young per- sons from entering the profession, so organization of strong teachers unions affiliated with organized la Dor is the logical solution of the crisis facing the schools.
 ''THhe very security of the na- tion will depend to large extent upon whether or not company un- ions among teachers are replaced by bonifide unions controlled by the teachers themselves and pos sessing sufficient power to make teaching a profession which will attract and hold the most compet- ent personnel"

NLRB Fears Slash In Operating Fund

Washington, D. C.-The National Labor Relations Board warned Congress in a report that the deep cut" in board appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30 threat ems to cause strikes over issues which the board can settle peace fully.
 Making it's annual report, 1t said that it handled a record number of cases in the last fiscal year and started the current year with A. sos, greatest backlog in it's history.
 "The board frankly is disturbed by the possible repercussions of such a backlog on labor relations at the plant level" the report said "A matter of grave concern to the board is the deep cut made in it's appropriation for the current fiscal year which necessitated the sep aration of over 20 per cent of it's personnel"
 It said the current intake of cases with fewer personnel may mean the doubling of the amount of time normally required to process cases.

As a result, the outlook was dim- mer than ever for Cong. Harold Knutson (R., Minn), chairman of the House Ways and Means Con- mittee and leader of the drive to put over an across -the-board tax reduction of 20 per cent.
 Opponents of Knutson's scheme generally contended that there should be no shearing of taxes until the Federal budget has been balanced and start has been made toward paying off the top-heavy national debt.
 However, if KnutSon and fellow Republicans push the "2O per cent plan," Democrats are prepared as a counter-move to put forward a proposal that would give major tax relief to those in the lowest income brackets.
 Lucas Drafts Plan
 The Democratic minority whip
Eastern Connecticut news., 1947-02-15

Assistant floor leader) of the Sen- ate, Scott w. Lucas of Illinois, de- clared the plan likely to be backed by his party in a showdown would be one to raise income tax exemp- tions, in lieu of straight cut
 As a feeler, he proposed a plan to raise exemptions from $500 to $500 for individuals and by the same amount for each dependent. Under that plan, an average fam fly of four would pay othing. Un- der the present law, such family now pays about $50 in income taxes. Under the Knutson scheme, such family would only get $10 reduction.
 Millions Would Be Tax-Free
 Lucas said his measure, if adopt ed, would take 5000, 900 to 4,000, 900 of the lowest income taxpayers off the rolls. It would mean a net loss in revenue of about $1 800, ,O00, 900.
 As proof that the Knutson plan would favor the rich, Democrats S1tCu dII AAtSAAoA NSNCAuS OuA eou report which showed that man with three dependents who earns $100,000 a year would get over a $12,000 cut in his tax. It would drop from $61, ,887 to $49,51O. In effect, his net income after taxes would thereby be increased by 32.5 per cent, the Bureau said.
 On the other hand, the head of family with three dependents who earns only $2500 year would have his tax bill cut from $50 to $40. His gain in net income would be mere $10 or one fourth of one per cent of his net earnings, the report dis closed.

AFL Makes Assertion i'm American FederatiOnist Its Official Publication

Washington, D. c. = Charges that the National Education Associ- ation and the State and local teach ers' affiliations are in the class of company unions and responsible in large degree for the crisis in pub lie schools throughout the Nation were contained in the American Federationist, official monthly publication of the American Fed eration of Labor,
 Irwin R. Quenzl, national secre- tary-treasurer of the AFT, trade union affiliated with the AFL, opened the scorching attack in an article published under the title: Company Unions and the School Crisis"
 The tragic conditions facing the schools today, the low professional status of teaching, the exodus of teachers from the profession and the fact that very few young per- sons are preparing themselves for the profession, are graphic as well as tragic evidence of the complete failure of independent associations Do provide for the professional in- terests of teachers" MT. Kuenzli declared.
 While battling against the or ganization of teachers into bona- fide unions, the nOnunion associa- tions have failed to battle for edu- cation and for the rights of teach CTS"
 MT. Kuenzli flatly asserted that ''in many states teachers are given credit toward their teaching certi- ficates for belonging to company unions" while denying similar credit for membership in the teach CTS union. He charged that school administrators exert unholy pres- sure to compel teachers to join nonunion associations which have done nothing and are not interested in doing anything to secure for teachers decent scale of wages.
 Before remedial action can be taken to solve the school crisis" the AFtL union official pointed out, the basic cause of the difficulty must be determined. To those ex- perienced in the affairs of or ganized labor, 1t will be no sur- prise to learn that the basic trouble may be described in two familiar words-'company unionism.'
 "The million teachers of the na- tion constitute the only large body of workers whose organizations are controlled largely by the employ CTS.
 Tn hundreds of cities and towns the superintendents who hire and fire the teachers and determine their salaries are the key men in the teachers organizations which are supposed to protect the civil rights of the teachers.
 Many of the administrators who control the teachers organizations are deeply involved in local politics and many of them have been inn ported by chambers of commerce, taxpayers leagues and other or- ganized groups for the specific pur- pose of keeping teachers salaries down."
 The secretary of the AFL's na- tional teachers union then went on to demolish the MEAS contention that the NEA and allied company union organizations are ''profes- sional,' although they do not pos- sess the power to do things which
