 VOTERS MAKE
 BIG SHOWING
Chitdgo's Kelly Machine Makes Poorest Primary
 Showing in F Years

CHICAGO, Feb. 26,-lR-Mayor Edward J. Kellys Democratic ma chine emerged from Chicago's s mayoral primary as a still form idable vehicle today, but heavy flood of Independent votes stole the spotlight from the test of party strength.
 The Democrats made their weak est demonstration of primary elec- ton strength in 12 years, but they boiled nearly twice as many votes as the Republicans.
 A projection based on nearly complete returns, indicated 5l8,- el2 Democratic ballots were cast to 275,672 Republican,
 However, the Independent vote cast in the aldermanic contests was estimated at 00O-largest in the city's history The alder manic election did not require a declaration Of party utilization and the l,OS2,823 votes cast in those contests showed that some 257000 abstained from participat- ing in the primary election.
 The Republicans claimed the h. dependent vote would sweep theil candidates to victory in the may oral election April l.
 The Democrats contended their showing of strength assured vic tory for their candidates.
 In the aldermanic contests, the Democrats won 25 of the 50 wards, the Republicans six with l9 con- tests left to be decided in a run off April L The present council lineup is 40 Democrats, eight Re- publicans and two Independents A runoff was required among the two leading contenders when no contestant won a majority of the votes cast.
 The Republican nomination for mayor was won easily by Russell w. Root, 48, assistant State Treasurer who had the backing of the Gov. H. Gren's Republican organization.
 Martin H. Remedy, 50 year old warehouse executive, and a new conner in politics, was unopposed as a Democratic candidate for mayor backed by Kellys organi- zation Kelly, mayor since 1883, was not a candidate this year
 Root poned 230,110 votes in 3,873 of the city's 4.054 precincts, and Kennedy 460,667 in 3,903 precincts. Roots two opponents polled about 10000 votes between them.

committee heard more than a
score of union witnesses, nearly
every one of whom dissected the
proposed law clause by clause
and cited labor's objections.
Taft also must have convent
emily forgotten here, unionistS
pointed out, that labor leaders
were not the only ones to give
the proposed legislation a critical
analysis.
Repeats Arguments
For the rest of it Taft's speech
echoed such Senate arguments
as: Labor leaders became so
powerful they dominated their
own men," For the first time
Congress has interested itself in
protecting the liberties of the in
dividual workingman.' eff the
Republican Congress had refused
to pass this law over the Presi-
dents veto, it would have been
an admission that the labor union
leaders were bigger than the
government"
Taft was barely saved, and lit
orally at the last second, from
his fourth major blunder on this
"pulse-taking" tour when report
ers noticed this statement in his
prepared speech: Every man
who voted for the law is entitled
to the ST uoport of those who wish
to maintain a government with
out special privilege and with
liberty and justice for ALL"
This, said reporters, looked
very much like a reelection en-
dorsement for southern Demo-
Gratis who voted for the law. "I
see nothing wrong with that, I"
said William D. McAdams, Taft
press agent. But in a half hour
McAdams returned and told the
reporters that the word "sup-
port" would have to be changed
to gratitude"

| Organized labor's reaction to
Taft's "eat less" formula was
swift and caustic. The AFL
Teamsters' Joint Council here
proposed a city-wide EAT Less
Day" as a preliminary build-up
to Starvation Week"
The Council declared that "If
the COP is intent upon making
itself the party of the empty
dinner pail Taft is its most eff
fective champion"
The Michigan CIO wired Taft
that "our 100000 members in
this great industrial state strong
ly resent the fact that you are
ignoring our problems of rising
costs and frozen wages"
Taft's refusal to schedule any
hearings of his price investigat.
ing committee in Michigan drew
fire from Council President Au-
gust Scholle. "The Taft Commit.
tee," he said, "is following the
Republican do-nothing pattern of
opening Congress with a prayer
and closing with probe in an
attempt to cover up their failure
to provide solution to the ma
tion's economic ills"
Taft's assertion in Tahoe, New,
that President Truman was re-
sponsible for high prices because
he removed price controls too
quickly was denounced by Sent
ators Scott Lucas 3D., Ill) and

who branded it zone of the most

Labor lawyers here contend
that Denham has hoisted the
NLRB on a new dilemma be.
cause:
1. If the Board orders the
ITU to bargain, the NLRB will
encourage a violation of the law
because an employer cannot be
compelled to bargain with a
union which has not won an
election and has not complied
with the requirement of filing
affidavits.
2. If it does not order the ITU
to bargain collectively it would
also be violating the law because
it is an unfair labor practice for
union to refuse to bargain in
good faith.
