beyond the original goal. The meas
ure probably would reach the Sen
ate floor for long debate shortly
after that.
1 Chairman Hartley has ordered an
end to House hearings next Satur-
day. Milton Murray, president OF
the CIO = American Newspaper
Guild, is billed as the last witness.
Right now there is every indica-
ton the measures of both commit
tees win attempt to outlaw or re-
strict some union practices, such as
calling jurisdictional strikes. These
are caused, not by disputes with
employers, but by scraps between
unions over the work they do or the
members they sign up.
But members of the two commit
tees frankly concede that they are
stumped at this point for an answer
to the big question Of controlling
strikes that hurt all the people.
Senator Morse, Republican, of
Oregon announced yesterday that
he will introduce legislation to give
the National Labor Relations Board
authority in jurisdictional disputes
and secondary boycotts.
Senator Morse, a former member
Of the War Labor Board, said in an
interview over Radio Station WPIK
there Is no doubt that the 80th
Congress will pass some labor legis-
lation, and expressedSthe hope that
it will not be of the punitive" or
compulsory" type.
Sees Harmony Destroyed.
Punitive legislation, revenge leg
islation, legislation that seeks to
destroy the legitimate rights Of Or
ganized labor just will not produce
industrial harmony" he declared.
He urged that the emphasis be on
improvement of existing provisions
for settlement for disputes and not
on enforcement" measures.
Senator Morse said some labor
practices "just will no longer be
supported by public opinion" and
listed the jurisdictional strike as one
type Of excess" in this category.
+ Senator Morse said he would also
give employers the right to file Pc
titions with the NLRB and have
them passed upon when labor par
ticipates 'tin the unfair labor prac-
tice of ignoring its obligations under
a collective bargaining agreement"

Activities Of Housing Expediter
Shifted 10 Division OF Compliance

Full emphasis in activities of the
Office of the Housing Expediter
in Southern California will shift
on July 25 to the division of COM
pliance, and to the division of
rent control, the only two field
organizations of the federal agency
continuing beyond that date.
Scheduled closing of other di-
visions was announced today by
Assistant Regional Housing Ex-
pediter w. Conrad McKelvey at
sub-regional headquarters of the
OHE in the w. M. Garland Build
ing.
The division of compliance, head
ed by District Manager John G..
Handy, has offices at 1906 Santee
Street.
Area Rent Director Ben c.
Koepke heads the division of rent
control at 1910 Santee Street.
Now undergoing liquidation, in
addition to McKelvey's headquar-
ters staff, is the division of non
housing construction headed by
Director Irving F. Dix, also Of
ficiated in the Garland Building
at 1T West Ninth Street. En-
ployees of both offices, totaling 80,
have received termination notices
effective July 25th. Twelve of these
are on McKelvey's staff.
Transfer of remaining activities
to the compliance and rent control
divisions through closing of the
other OFIE functional units is uni
form throughout the nation, Nc
Kelvey announced.
"Our principle concern as we
close these divisions" McKelvey
stated in a message to home build
ers and home-seeking veterans, "is
the credence given the flood of
apparently stimulated and errone-
Gus reports that the lid is off
everything connected with the con-
Struction industry.
"This simply is not true" Nc
Kelvey stated.
Veterans preference on certain
newly constructed housing, and
limitations upon many other types
of construction remain in effect,
and are binding not only upon
builders and contractors but upon
architects and materials suppliers." J."
McKelvey revealed he had been
informed by the division of rent
control that similar difficulties are
being experienced there over circu-
lation of erroneous reports that
landlords may write their own
tickets on arbitrary rent increases.

ties with enforcement officers"

Painters Leavinq
Phoenix for: Work
lin Other States

According to Bancroft E. holland,
business manager of Phoenix
Painters Local No. Sc, painters are
leaving the city in droves for
other sections of the country. He
reports he had call for 26 paint
ers for New Mexico the first part
of this week and had sent the men
out. The shut down by local con-
tractors threw a considerable num-
ber of painters out of work and
made it possible to fill the order.
The bad part of this deal is,
means Brother holland, is that
when the local trouble is settled,
most of his first-class mechanics
will be gone, and he will be hard
put to furnish expert craftsmen
to local jobs. Few outside crafts
men come to Phoenix during the
summer.
In addition to painters, Presi-
dent A. E. Williams of the Build
ing Trades Council, reports that
mechanics of all kinds are leaving
the state for work elsewhere. Car
penters, bricklayers and operating
engineers are going to a large job
in Colorado, and there is reported
ito be plenty of work in California
for building craftsmen.
Construction work throughout
the nation is at an all-time peak,
and calls are coming daily for
more workmen. It seems that when
word of labor trouble in any area
is spread, calls Immediately begin
to come in urging the men to 60
elsewhere.

Mrs. Walker Tells Of Hard
Barber College Fight

| "The race is not always given to
swift nor victory to the strong but
to those who hold out and fight to
the end" These are the words of
Mrs. Thelma Walker, a local Beau
ty School operator, relating her
long uphill struggle in obtaining Ii
cenSe to operate a Barber College
here for veterans.
Realizing that a barber college
was much needed in Arizona, Mrs.
Walker started last November to
get a license from the State Barber
Board to operate a school which
was denied her on the pretext that
the need for such an institution
was not sufficient, the President
of the Board, Mr.. Hertmayer told
her, and refused further discussion
on the matter.
II went back to the Board in
February of this year," Mrs. Walk
er said, "but they continued to re-
fuse to grant me a license under
any condition and furthermore re-
fused to furnish me with a copy of
rules and regulations of the Board.
my next move was to resort to
the Urban League. asked them to
write the Board for a bill of rules
so would know how to comply to
the State laws in setting up a col
lege. Two letters were sent but no
reply was forth coming" Mrs.
Walker said, "the only way she was
able to get the rules was through
friend"
L am very proud of this victory"
she said, ''I feel I made a worth
while fight not for myself alone
but for hundreds of boys who 9TH
erWise would be deprived of this
opportunity"
Il feel grateful to the people and
organizations who helped in this
light; without their assistance our
cause would have been lost"
Mrs. Walker is very happy over
her triumph, but not quite as hap
py as she might be had she not had
reasons to believe there was a SUBJ
Verslve movement right in the
school by a student barber who
was carrying false reports to the
State Board in a conspiracy to pre-
vent the license from being issued,
she said. She further states, this
was colored student too, and that
She had been informed he was
working through a certain Master
Barber (Colored) here in town and
that the student had been prom
1sed by the Board, the examination
for his betrayal.
The school has been reinstated
by the Veteran Administration and
preparations are being made to re-
model the building and add another
instructor, which will accommo-
date "a trainees instead of 12.
After graduation of the first class
there should be BARRIERS enough for
some of the many towns in the
State in which there are no Color
ed BARRIERS. Many have 700 or more
people who have to get their hair
butchered in back yards without a
sign of sanitation.
