With RAT.

DETROIT, Oct. 12-Wal.
ter P. Reuther, UAW-CIO
president, today made the
following statement in an
swer to Drew Pearson's
broadcast this evening in which
he predicted that Senator Robert
Taft will ask Reuther to be his
running mate in the 1948 cam
paign:
President Roosevelt caIIe d
Drew Pearson a chronic liar
Pearsons' broadcast that I was
possible running mate for
Senator Taft in 1948 proves him
not only to be a chronic liar but
also a fool.
Il stand unalternately opposed
to Senator Taft and everything
that he and his NAM Wall Street
masters represent in American
lie. am determined to do
everything in my power to de-
feat Senator Taft, no matter
what public office he may seek
in 1948.
"This fantastic story was
planted by the newly hired pub
licity agent of George F. Adde's
and R. j. Thomas in an effort to
influence UAW delegates cleo

SANDUSKY, Oct. 13 Especially
= Local 913, -CIO of the

here was issued its charter late
last week by Richard Gosser,
Toledo UAW regional director.
Organizational work which
has been under way in the new
plant for some months has pro-
gressed to the point where it
seems assured UAW will win
when the representation election
is held. Action on the election
petition has been held up pend
ing the NLRB's decision with re-
spect to NLRB Council Robert
Denham'S on-communist affi-
davit decision which was finally
reversed last week in Washing
ton.
In issuing the new charter,
Director Gosser congratulated
the members of the new Local
and said, II have every confid-
ence that we are going to con-
tinue to make progress here and
that in a very short time, Local
913 will be one of the up and
coming Locals in this area"

Dying Quietly

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is -
(LPA) - The much-publiciZed
Congressional "probe" of track
eteering" by unions in the build
ing trades appears to be Gying
a slow but a quiet death.
Originally announced as the
probe to end all probes, to be
headed by Rep. Ralph Gwinn
r. N. W the investigation was
scheduled for a coast-to-coast
itinerary. Well in advance, Rep.
Gwinn listed his indictment of
the AFL building trades unions,
intimating strongly that their
practices caused all of the hous-
ing shortage.
This week, the committee has
two or three Gays of hearings
scheduled in Washington. No
national tour; no more hearings
scheduled: says the spokesman
for the group, Wed prefer not
to say anything more at this
time"

Neither Ball nor the Justice

Devoting major part of
his 75-page report to the
state of the American econ
omy, Murray says that "the last
few months have witnessed the
steady march of those forces
which, unless halted, will even
tually produce a major depres-
sion"
The gamut of CIO activities Is
indicated by some of the topics
covered by the CIO president,
including distribution of war as
sets, work with government re-
search agencies and the Presi-
dents Council of Economic Ad-
visers, activities of women's aux.
iliaries, civil rights and fair en-

foreign and domestic welfare

Steel Planning
New SHORTAGES

NEW YORK, Oct. Is (LPA)
= The imperative need for &C
ton by Congress to halt the steel
industry's program of planned
scarcity" was confirmed last
week when the magazine Steel,
authoritative industry journal,
predicted more price increases
for the future.
The magazine indicated that
the steel industry would use
higher warehouse prices and in
creased freight rates as the eX-
cuse for price rises. The assign
ment of steel for consumers dur
ing the last three months of this
years is being sharply reduced
by the industry, presumably so
that the companies can do a
bookkeeping job, according to
Steel.
In Philadelphia, naturalization
of the steel industry was de-
by the national board of
directors of the Progressive Citi-
zens of America.
Previously union leaders and
had given testimony
to a special Senate Smaller Busi.
ness Committee on Steel that the
industry's present program and
its refusal to expand could lead
the nation into a major depres-
sion and millions of unemployed.
The American Iron & Steel
Institute admitted last week that
steel production so far this year
is 6 percent short of the 1910
figure. Nearly 10000 Detroit
auto workers in Chrysler anG
Briggs were slated to be laid off
this week because of a sheet
steel shortage.

Hartley law.
In fact, the anti-labor Repub.
licans, headed by Rep. Gerald
Lands (R., Ind.) who is the sec.
ond ranking member of the
House Labor Committee, de-
clareG they would ask Congress
to amend the Taft Hartley law
to require all top AFL and CIO
officials to sign the anti-Com-
munist affidavits.
Lands, who was considered
the right-hand man of Rep.
Fred Hartley (R., N. J.), indi-
Gated that his proposed legisl-
tion would even go so far as re-
quiring shop stewards, business
agents and perhaps union attor-
neys to sign the affiGavits. The
Lands idea was quickly endorsed
by Rep. Clare Hoffman (R.,

Dismiss Portal Suits

WASHINGTON LPA)-Por-
tal'to-portal pay suits with claims
totaling millions of dollars were
dismissed last week by several
U. S. District Courts. In Pitts
burgh a decision that the 1947
Portal-to-Portal Act of Congress
was constitutional resulted in
dismissal of 43 cases. The opin-
ion said that though the United
Steelworkers (CIO) had a right
to seek portal pay under the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1888.
that right no longer existed. In
Chicago a motion has been filed
to dismiss four CIO portal pay

Food Wasting

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15
.LPA)-Profiteering, not the
individuals eating habits, is
the greatest source of food
waste CIO President Philip
Murray wrote to all local CIO
bodies last week.
Food goes where it commands
highest prices, not where it is
most needed" Murray asserted,
adding the there is no serious
food crisis in this country except
that which we bring upon our
selves by our failure to elimi-
nate profiteering and to stamp
out speculation in food supplies. !"
While urging CIO members to
support the Citizens Food Com
mittee drive to conserve food,
Murray insisted eve must do
more. We must make sure that
we and the nations we seek to
nelp are projected from tne IN
tolerable exactions of profiteer-
ing and high prices which TODAY
make it impossible for most
American families and for other
millions overseas to buy the food
they need"
To end the waste of food
through profiteering, Murray
asked CIO members to work for
these measures
1-Price control;
2-Allocation of basic food.
stuffs and rationing of all scarce
foods to stop waste of food at its
source, because if grain, for ex-
is fed to livestock, there
Is little if anything consumers
can do about it when the live

sion of Congress, which should
evy "a confiscatory tax" upon

cIo Spurns Unity
Ar ANY Price"

BOSTON, Oct. Is CLPA) -
CIO and AFL unity on any terms
became more remote this week
with CIO President Philip Muir
rays report to the CIO conven-
ton.
Murray tolG the convention,
reporting on the AFL-CIO
peace negotitions", that ZAP
parently our former brothers in
the family of labor would only
require that we meet their condi.
tions for return as the price of
forgiveness. This we do not in.
tend to do. We want unity, seri-
ously and earnestly, but not
unity at any price"
The AFL executive councils
report last week emphasized the
need of organic unity as a pre-.
requisite for common action.
Murray told the convention that
"the developing unity of program
and action on the local level be-
tween AFL and CIO on eco
nomic and political matters is
eloquent testimony as to the cor.
rectness of our position and
should be strongly encouraged
and vitalized."
Murray declared that ''We be-
ieve that a united labor move
ment with strength, courage and
vision can be fashioned in
America and we believe that the
proposal of the CIO represents a
practical approach to this prob
lem. We stand prepared to work,
and tirelessly, for a
united labor movement"
