Shortage Due To
Greed Of Lorge
Newspoperchoins

New York (FP)-Straight from
the horses mouth comes proof that
the newsprint shortage, now men
acing thousands of small publica-
tions, is due to the greed of the big
newspaper chains.
Addressing the National Pub
fishers Association here, President
r. M. Fowler of the Canadian Pulp
& Paper Association said he found
talk Of shortages of paper and pulp
in the U. S. peculiar" Canada
which supplies about 80 per cent
of the U. S. newsprint supply, is
sending the U. S. AZ per cent more
newsprint and 100 per cent more
pulp than before the war, he said
From Executive Secretary E. w.
Tinker of the American Paper &
Pulp Association came another
items: In 1916, he said, there was
available 22,381, 900 tons, an in
crease of 100000 tons over the
previous year.
Both sta e m e It's bolstered
charges by the Newsprint Con-
sumers Emergency Committee that
it is unequal distribution Of news
print brought on by removal of the
quota system, not a newsprint
scarcity as a whole, which is re-
sponsible for the shortage. Accord
ing to the committee, 200 large
newspapers in the U. S. get 85
per cent of available newsprint,
leaving 1900 small publications
to scramble for the remaining Is
per cent.
The situation for small papers
grows worse day by day, FEEDER
ated Press was told by S. A.
Lavine of Rogowski Press, which
prints more than 80 small publica-
tions including labor papers. Not
only have his papers been forced
to cut down in size but their con-
tinued existance is threatened by
the soaring prices of newsprint.
Although carload lots of newsprint
ostensibly sell for $S4 a ton, actual
open market price is as much as
5000 a ton, he said.

Kiplinger Pays For Error

Washington (FP)R The buyers
Of Washington "inside stuff"
through the Kliplinger Letter at
SIS a year have been offered re-
endorsement by Kiplinger if they
followed his advice and asked for
copies Of the CIO Nathan wage re-
port for free.
Reporting that the copies were
billed to these customers at the
regular rate of 50 cents each, Kip
linger said he understood they
were to be gratis, contrary to the
explicit understanding" so those
who write the agency will get
checks back for so cents.

Utah Unions Plan
Front Against
Anfi-Lubor Bills

Salt Lake City, Utah-In antici-
patton Of extensive antilabor legis-
lation, union workers here have
formed united front to study and
analyZe the effects of new bills on
workers and to advise legislators
and the public of their opinion.
The committee is composed of
representatives of the state AFL,
CIO, United Mine Workers and
railroad brotherhoods. President
Clarence Palmer of the Utah CIO
Council was named chairman; Sec
etary-Treasurer j. r. Wilson of
the Utah Federation of Labor, vice
chairman; and Malio Percorelli,
UNIV, and Forest Hodges, railroad
brotherhoods, secretaries.
Fullmer Latter, president of the
state federation and publicity
chairman of the new committee,
announced that speakers would be
made available to present labor's
views to clubs, churches and other
groups.
A comprehensive labor bill, al
ready introduced, would repeal
Utah's little Wagner act and in
stead would set up a list of unfair
labor practices on the part of both
unions and employers. 1t would
permit closed or union shop only
if two-thirds of the employees
voted for it, and if the two-thirds
represented majority of the en-
ployees in the collective bargaining
unit; and would permit either en-
ployers or employees to petition
for an election.
The bill terms as unfair labor
practices mass picketing, second
ary boycotts, violation of a collec-
tive bargaining agreement and in
ducing an employer to interfere
with the individual rights of his
employees, among others.
You can't demand affection and
get much of it.

Comment On World Events

Why the United States, on the
ground Of self-interest alone, must
help the rest of the world was
pointed out by Mrs. Norman de
Whitehouse, national president of
the Women's Action Committee for
Lasting Peace, in addressing the
recent 21st Women's Patriotic Con-
ference on National Defense in
Washington.
"Our willingness to restore the
world" she told her listeners, "is
not altogether a Santa Claus i'm
pulse f. it comes partly from an
enlightened self-interest,'" Mrs.
Whitehouse said, urging women to
take an active role in preserving
world peace.
"We cannot live alone in our
luxury and our freedom" she con-
tinued, when the rest Of the world
is crumbling about US, when peo-
pie are hungry, even starving in a
distant country. We know that
hungry people are desperate peo-
pie. They have followed dictators
to war in the past. We have no
guarantee that they will not do so
again. So in our enlightened self
interest we recognize our response
bility to starve off starvation
whenever it threatens, to help
solve political problems where they
seem insoluble, to work for the
freedom of the peoples who de-
mand it, if we are to retain our
own cherished freedom"
Asserting that the only approach
to world peace is through collec-
tive security and the United Ma
tions, Mrs. Whitehouse added,
"Our obligation is to do every
thing possible to strengthen and
vitalize this great organization"
The delegates at the conference
heard an enlightened address by
DR.. Henry Noble MacCracken,
President Emeritus Of Vassar Col
ledge, who spoke on Freedom of
Ideas" He said the leaders of 13
million Negroes, 20 million citizens
and resident aliens Of foreign
birth, % million Catholics and Az
million Jews, claim that their peo-
pie suffer discrimination.
To avert the dangers that will
result from this type Of political
and economic repression of our
minorities, DIR. MacCracken ad-
vised that we reconstruct our laws
. so that they will temper and
carry off the first thrusts of mob
violence"
In the field of international re-
lations, our democratic concepts
are also challenged, he asserted.

ures," Googe commented, "every
problem of management and labor

adequate provisions made in the
agreement for their equitable

dealing to ALL"

A. F. L. Executive Council
Hits At Anti-Lubor Bills

Miami (FP) Any punitive
anti-labor measures adopted by
Congress would be "tragic mis-
take" and would only serve to dis
rupt the "era of good feeling" set
ting in on the industrial front, the
AFL executive council warned as
its winter session opened here Jan.
20.
Pointing out that "industrial
strife is definitely on the wane,"
the council said that america
faces great opportunity to estab-
lish labor-management peace and
sustained full production"
"The chief disturbing factor in
the situation at present." it found,
lis the threat held out by Con-
gress of enacting sweeping legis-
lation which would entirely dis
rupt the normal processes of col
lective bargaining and stir up
widespread industrial unrest"
Current demands for anti-labor
legislation are based on the wave
of strikes and lockouts which oc-
Cured last year, the council assert
ed, adding: at would be a tragic
mistake &. for Congress to use
the abnormal occurrences of 1916
as the basis for reorganizing by i'll
considered and punitive legislation
the whole system of free and eff
fective collective bargaining.
AFL President William Green
said the council would analyze one
by one the more than 200 labor re-
strictive bills now before Congress
and point out their defects.
Earlier the council approved the
recommendations of a 4-man AFL
commission which recently return
ed from Germany. The report, de-

livered by President William c.
Doherty of the National Associa-
tion of Letter Carriers, called for
a central government in Germany
and abolition of the present 4-zone
occupation system. 1t also criti-
cized the Potsdam objective of de-
industrialization of Germany.
The council hears a report on the
progress of negotiations for the
reaffiliation of the international
Association of Machinists and is
used a charter to airline dispatch
ers.

Air PiIofs Win
Wage Increases

Chicago (FP) - Wage increases
ranging up to 500 a month were
awarded airline pilots and co-pilots
here by 3-man arbitration board
appointed to settle a dispute be-
tween Transcontinental & Western
Air Inc. and $50 of it's employees
organized in the Air Line Pilots
Association.
Pay increases are retroactive to
last Nov. Is, the date the arbitra-
tors were called in. The decision
to arbitrate followed a 25-day
strike, during which 115 planes
wer grounded. The dispute involv-
ed only those pilots flying the
company's Skymaster and Constel-
lation planes. A total of 1,400
pilots and co-pilots are employed
.sby the line. ~ ~
y The award grants pilots flying
overseas routes a monty wage of
1925 to $1,100 depending on sem
iority, on the basis of 900 flying
hours year. Any flying time over
that will be paid at $3.50 an hour.
The new scales represent a month
'ly increase of $100. Co-pilots will
get $3.50 to $500 a month, or $50
more per month.
On domestic routes, pilots will
get 81 1000 for 80 hours a month
flying time, an increase of $50.
Co-pilots will get $40 more, bring
ing their scales to from $3.50 to
$3.50 a month.
The award, substantially more
favorable than the recommenda-
tions of a Presidential fact finding
board appointed last spring to
avert the strike, also requires that
the company foot the bill for pilots
trip expenses, moving expenses
overseas and foreign cost-of living
differentials. 1t provides for sick
pay at the rate of rs per cent of
full salary for the first seven days
and full pay thereafter.

Sen. Ball Says CIO Advocates Socialism

WASHINGTON, (P) = Walter Reuther told the Senate labor com mittee today that American indus try must raise wages substantial ly" to maintain purchasing power but Senator Ball R.-MinnD said the CIO leader is advocating so- cialism.
 Ball told Reuther, CIO United Auto Workers president, that what he wanted was to extend into peacetime the government controls imposed during the war.
 And that's a socialized econ omy," Ball said. "It's socialism pure and simple"
 That's not what I'm advocating at all," Reuther replied.
 Chairman Taft R.-Ohio) de- clared that what we all want is lower prices, and you're not going to get them by raising wages again"
 Reuther said wages must be raised to balance the wage price profit equation" He said profits now are highest in history, where as wages "in terms of their pur- chasing power have been declining steadily since the war ended.
 Taft said the way to balance things is to let industry bring prices down."
 But how long must the Amer ican worker wait?" Reuther asked, as he exchanged heated remarks with committee members.

Labor Uncoopera- tive; Congress Must Write Own Ticket

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Ellender D.-LaO, declared today that Congress must take the bull by the horns and write its own ticket" on labor legislation be- cause union leaders "are not CO., operating" "I have been most dis appointed by their showing" said Ellender, a Senate labor commit tee member whose views in the past often have coincided with those of union spokeSmen.
 The Louisiana lawmaker told a reporter the committee expected but got no aid from AFL president William Green, CIO chief Philip Murray and United Auto Workers president Walter Reuther.
 They and other union officials sharply assailed most pending leg islation in testifying before the committee last week.
 The Senate labor group has more union representatives on top when it resumes hearings tomor- row.
 Ellender said one of the things Congress seems likely to do is re- wise the act 'to restore free speech" to employers.
