Golden Sfofe Is
Held Mecco For
Gdngsfer Flood

California is a hospitable state,
and always has the welcome mat
out for visitors, but doesn't relish
some of those who are now flock
ing into the Western paradise.
Senator Sheridan Downey warns
that gangsters are flooding the
state and predicts the possibility
of "bloody gang war" that will
make the Capone era in Chicago
look like a meeting of a ladies'
sewing circle.
Downey's fears are shared to a
great extent by Governor Earl
Warren, who said in a radio broad
cast, racketeers and blackmailers
by the hundreds are attracted by
the "1ush life" of the Hollywood
motion picture colony.
Downey contended the under
world characters are seeking to
obtain control of the state police
force and to "take over politics" ("
and said he has evidence that some
of them "already are entrenched
with some state authorities"
Warren secuted this claim. He
said the state could not prevent
the entrance of undesirable char
acters, but would know how to deal
with them if and when they began
practicing their "nefarious trades" :"

National Urban League
Praises Trade Unions

New York City.-The National
Urban League, an organization

ems, extended greetings to the Am
erican Federation of Labor on the
occasion of Labor Day.
In a letter to AFL President
William Green, Lester b. Granger,
Executive Secretary of the League,
expressed appreciation to AFL
leaders for assistance they render
ed the League and paid tribute to
the tremendous achievement and
continuing effort of organized Ia
Dor in their work to eliminate rae
ial discrimination
Citing the difficulties encounter
ed by the Negro in the housing
crisis and on the general economic
front, Mr. Granger said:
"We have always considered
democratic trade unions as strong
allies in our work to eliminate dis
elimination and barriers to equal
opportunity for Negroes"

GOUGING CHARGED
TO BIG OIL COMPANY

Independent oil dealers made
grave charges before a sub-com-
mittee of the Senate Small Bus
mess Committee, holding hearings
at Chicago.
They insisted there is no oil
shortage. This was a trumped-up
device of the major oil producers
to drive Independents out of bus
mess, they averred.
The plan of the big fellows, the
Independents contended, was to
take over retail operations so they
could handle oil products from
wells to consumers.
AS starter, the companies had
agreed among themselves to elm
mate the independent dealer in
furnace oil from the market.

Board Moy Find
No Affidovifs,
No Work To Do

Washington (LPA) = Prospects
mounted this week that the new
Natl Labor Relations Board, which
announced itself last week as
"open for business" under the Taft
Hartley anti-labor law, may find
itself with practically no business
from the regular labor movement.
What created this situation was
a ruling by Robert N. Denham, the
boards general counsel, that be-
fore any local AFL or CIO union
may utilize the services of the
board, each top officer of the par
ent body must file the Taft-Hart-
ley affidavits disclaiming Commun-
ist membership or affiliation.
Most CIO unions have already
announced they will boycott the
board, so it can look for little bus
mess from that group. Many AFL
unions, on the other hand, have in
dicated they will comply, but be-
fore they can use NLRB machin-
cry, each member Of the AFL Ex-
ecutive Council must also file affi-
daVits.
If one member of the Council re-
fuses to sign, the entire 100000
members of AFL affiliates would,
under Denham's ruling, be "froz-
en- out" by the board.
Reports have been widespread
in Washington that President John
l.. Lewis of the Miners may balk
at signing as a matter of principle.
The AFL, in its latest weekly news
service, left a broad intimation
that not only Lewis, but other
members Of the Council, may also
refuse.
"While there is not the slight
est suspicion of Red tinge
among the membership of the Ex-
ecutive Council" the AFL news
service declared, "a fundamental
principle is involved in the filing
of such affidavits which makes the
decision whether to comply a
weighty one. The only alternative
would be to boycott the services of
the NLRB altogether"
The news service added that the
Council, at its quarterly meeting
which opens Sept. 8 in Chicago,
will "weigh the advisability of
compliance or resistance"
Should the Council decide against
signing, that would mean no local
lodge of any AFL affiliate could
utilize the NLRB. If the CIO ad-
heres to comparable position, all
members of both organizations
-13 500 900 in all-may then be bar
red access to the NLRB's services.
In that event, the NLRB would
become an agency handling only
cases filed by employers and by in
dependent unions-that is, unless
Denham revises his drastic ruling,
or the parent labor organizations
decide to go along with the affi-
davit requirements.

'BUckSHOT AFFIDAVIT DISLIkED
BY A.F.L. METAL TRADES MAN

Washington (LPA)-NLRB Cen
eral Counsel Denham's strict rules
for carrying out the Taft Hartley
law resulted in a request last week
from President George @. Lynch Of
the Pattern Makers League-AFL
that unions be supplied with the
names of the organizations that in
the words of the NLRB affidavit,
"believe in or teach the overthrow
of the US. government by force or
by any illegal or unconstitutional
methods"
Lynch wrote to Denham that
sour officers are not students of
subversive techniQues. We lack the
training and knowledge necessary
to detect and identify the multipli-
city Of activities covered by your
buckshot affidavit.
"I can not, in good conscience,
request my brothers to swear to
the truth of the unknown at the
risk of becoming a non-paying
guest of Uncle Sam for term of
10 long years"
The president of the $4,000 skill
ed pattern makers ran into further
trouble with Denham because the
union had prepared and sent to its
officers for filing with the NLRB
an affidavit using the language of
the Pattern Makers League resolu-
tion which lists opposition to COM
munism, Nazism, fascism, or "any
other form of dictatorship regard
less of name or color of shirt
selected for purpose of identifica-
tion."
Denham told reporters that he
could not accept the unions affi-
davits. Lynch, explaining that his
action had been taken with no in
tention aforethought to offend any
of Mr.. Denham's friends in the
S0th Congress" by his mention of
Nazism and fascism, wrote to
Metal Trades Dept President John
p. Frey on the following day that
he would willingly execute the Of
fetal "non-C Communist" affidavit as

Refuil Prices
Continue Rise

Washington, d. C. OLNS). =
Retail prices of living essentials
purch d by moderate-income
families in large cities rose OF per-
cent between mid-May and mid
June, the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics, u. S. Department of Labor,
said.
Prices advanced for all major
groups of items in the family bud
get except rents and fuel, electric
ity and ice.
Retail prices of living essentials
in mid-June were 18 percent high
er than year ago, and SO percent
above the August, 1889, level.
Higher prices for meats and a
2 percent seasonal rise in egg
prices were mainly responsible for
the increase of 1.5 percent in the
family food bill between May Is
and June Is. Meats, poultry and
fish as Il group advanced more
than percent during the month.
On June 15, meats in all cities sur
veyed were retailing at higher
average prices than in mid-May.
Fruit and vegetable prices de-
clined / percent during the month
with slightly lower prices for al
most all items, fresh, canned and
dried. Fractional increases were
reported in prices for cereals and
bakery products and sugar and
sweets. Dairy products as a group
remained unchanged
. Apparel prices in large cities
rose 0.4 percent between mid-May
and mid-June. Prices of footwear
advanced, while nylon and rayon
hosiery prices dropped in practic-
ally all cities in June.

WILLIAM GREEN CALLS
FOR LABOR TO BOLSTER
THEIR VOTING POWER

Chicago UPA)-AFL President
William Green in his Labor Day
address to the giant Soldiers Field
meeting here pledged organized
labor to a program that would OBJ
tain the repeal of the Taft-Hartley
law, and place on the statute books
whole series of positive meas
ures for human betterment."
"We will call upon the member
ship of organized labor and all it's
friends thruout the nation" Green
said, "to defeat all candidates for
reelection to Congress and state
legislatures who voted for the pas
sage of reprehensible legislation.
Especial detailed efforts will be
put forth to prevail upon all work
ers and their friends to qualify to
vote in the election and to see to
it that nothing will prevent them
from casting their ballots on cleo
tion day. In order to make this pos
sible, we will seek to establish a
holiday on election day. If we sue
ceed in this effort, no worker or
the friend of a worker will have
any excuse for failing to vote.
"Our platform for 194S calls for
many other positive measures for
human betterment, measures which
Congress has consistently defeat
ed or ignored in the past few years.
"First, we demand that action
be taken to reduce exorbitant
prices and bring the cost of living
gradually down to a more reason
able level. Price-fxing monopolies
must be crushed and imitation must
be halted before the people of this
country are robbed of all their
hard-earned savings.
"Second, we insist on sound
measures to maintain full, year
round employment at wages com
mensurate with decent American
standards of living.
"Third, we call for enactment of
broad housing program which
will encourage and speed up the
construction Of millions of new and
comfortable homes for the Amer
lean people.
Fourth, we must increase the
present minimum wage. Under the
present law, the standard is only
40c an hour for a 40-hour week.
How can any wage-earner support
a family on SIC a week at present
prices? This situation is an econ
omic blight upon our nation and
cries aloud for correction, but the
enemies of labor refuse to listen to
reason.
"Fifth, and finally, if we hope
for a better future for ourselves
and our children, we must streng-
then and improve our social secur-
ity laws so that no worker can be
cast on the scrap heap in old age
and be forced to take a pauper's
dole. The new Social Security pro-
gram, which the American Fedora
tion of Labor urges, calls for the
inclusion of a sound system of
health insurance, a forward step
which is essential not only to the
well-being of individuals but to our
country's future security.
"These things are worth fighting
for. Certainly they are worth vot-
ing for!"

Teacher Union Keeps
Its NO-Strike Policy

Boston ILNS). - Delegates to
the American Federation of Teach

passed a resolution reaffrming the
organizations 27-y e a r-old no

More than 2 hours of heated de-
bate preceded the action as dele

Departing from it's past stand
against letting down immigration
bars, the federation called for pas
sage by Congress of the Stratton
bill which would permit entry into
this country over the next years
of 100000 displaced persons. The
convention also approved plans for
Palestine as Jewish national
homeland.
