Both the Senate and House COM
mittees are considering a variety
of proposed labor bills, most Of
them bitterly opposed by labor
union leaders.
In his testimony on the Pitts
burgh "beer war;" Mulvihill did
not suggest any specific cure.
However, he described it as grow
ing out of a jurisdictional drive
by the ALL Transfers union to
sign up employees of breweries
which already have contracts with
the CLIO Brewery workers union.
The committee has received pro-
posals for outlawing jurisdictional
strikes.
The CLIO publication said "anti-
labor proposals" are only a part
of a drive it described as aimed
at unions and the public as a whole.
AS other parts it listed: Repub-
lican-proposed tax cuts, bills to
forbid portal to portal pay, efforts
to cut funds for "all agencies
handling New Deal legislation
and a possible overthrow of rent
control.
Johnston, for the soft coal opera
tors, already had predicted an in

EDITOR ADDRESSES
CLUB ON EDISON
Kiwanis Club Hear Tribute
To Great Inventor
During Meeting

Highlighted by an announcement
that the board of directors hac
voted 500 to the Red Cross drive
placing the club first on the lis
of organization contributors, the
regular meeting of the KiwanlS
club yesterday revolved around OBJ
servance of the birthday of Thorn
as Alva Edison.
Jack Hope, editor of the Morn
ing Star, was the speaker OF the
day and for & full twenty minutes
he reviewed some of the inventive
accomplishments of the wizard OF
Menlo Park.
After recalling briefly his own
first contact with the new gadget,
the incadescent light as a boy on
. visit to Philadelphia with his
narents, the speaker went on to
noint out that although America
and the modern world remembers
Edison chiefly as the inventor OF
the electric light, it was but one
of the revolutionary discoveries
for which the world is indebted to
him.
In q moment of eulogy, the
sneaker said that with truth it
NAV be said that Edison during his
great years of mental activity, did
more for industry, for public enter
tainment and domestic comfort
+h.n .pv individual the world has
known.
In closing, Kiwanian Hope again
reminded the clubmen that three
great Americans were born IN
February. Each in his separate
wav was a symbol - Washington
the symbol of might when right;
Lincoln the symbol of solidarity
and friendship among men; Ed
son the symbol of abundance ana
well-being.
And as last thought, the speaker
recalled a classic from the tongue
of Lincoln, to wit: II can see
how it might be possible for a man
to look down upon the earth and
be an ATHEIST, but I cannot conceive
how he could look up into the
heavens and say there is no
God"
President Rex Willis presided
over the meeting which was well
attended.

council president, presided at the
meeting.
Phillips stated that we measure
education today by the develop
ments of today, that there are
many means of education other
than the school, and that the prin-
ciples of fair play. honesty, and
the like are more important than
memorizing mathematics or other
courses.
More cooperation is needed be-
tween the parents and the teachers,
ne said, because too many parents
neglect 10 teach such things as
good health and character to their
children, leaving it up to the
teacher.
The teacher, is then. the most
important factor of a school, not
the curriculum or the books or the
buildings.
Phillips discussed the pending
legislation concerning increase in
teachers salaries and said that
when we don't pay teachers enough
to keep the classrooms adequately
filled. we loose invaluably in the
education Of our children. The
community has an obligation to
provide favorable conditions. Sc
curity, and position to teachers.
The OBLIGATION of the 1875 OGo
members Of the Parents Teachers
association is to stand behind a
prooram of better years. to push
forward. and that will take better

is to make conditions better for

AFL Convention Acts On Labor Cris
Membership Of Park City Labor Federation Now To Hold Rally Up To 7,577,7l6 On Palestine

SAN FRANCISCO-(FP) New stress on industrial unionism as a means of organizing workers into the AFL is recommended in the report of the executive council to the Goth annual convention here
 With total membership at a re- cord peak of 7,577,7l6 for l947 on the basis of per capita pay ments, the AFL council urged that all crafts engaged in am organizing drive should ''set up joint cOun- cil with director chosen by either the AFL or the international un- ions. The director should be in complete charge and receive the full support of all unions involved.
 "When a campaign is successful, the report went on, "a special nego- tiating committee should be selected to complete a joint master contract covering all crafts and unions includ- ing the wages and working conditions of all unions involved"
 The report recalled that similar industrial union drives had been successful in the building and metal trades as we'll as in the rail. road organizations and that the plan had been recommended by a previous convention.
 The AFL's southern organizing campaign has added 425,000 new members to its various afiliates, with approximately 10000 newcomers ir the past six weeks. The council said it expected the total gain in IA south ern states to reach 500,000.
 The re port charged that throughout the southern cam. paign a great deal of our energy has of necessity been expended in protecting our existing local unions from raids by the CLOS organiza- ton campaign invasion. The CIO southern campaign was a complete failure in textiles and lumber.
