AssuiIs Bill As
Blow At Entire
Citizenship

New York City OLNS). = The
anti-labor bill passed by the
House is an attempt to deprive la
Dor Of it's gains, a blow at all citi-
zens and a threat to the nations
economy, David Dubinsky, presi-
dent of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, charg-
ed in denouncing the measure.
Speaking to 1000 cheering
members of Local 80, ILGWU,
President Dubinsky branded the
legislation a desperate attempt on
the part of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers and reac-
tionaries to take away, through
legislation, the essential gains of
labor rather than attempt to cor
rect abuses.
Legislation against labor is
also legislation against the entire
citizenship of our country" Du-
binsky warned, at the installation
of the locals newly elected admin
istration headed by Luigi Antonini,
general secretary-manager. He
added that the entire economic
structure Of the country would be
affected if labor suffers.
It's membership composed of for
mer Italians and those of Italian
descent, Local 80 adopted reso-
luton on the Senate to send back
"the now entirely outdated Italian
treaty" to the State Department
for renegotiation.
Treaty Fruit of Appeasement'
"The Italian treaty in its pres
ent form is nothing but the bitter
fruit of Americas now happily dis
carded policy of appeasing totali-
tartan Russian aggression" the
resolution declared.
1t also condemned the treaty for
giving no recognition to the "valu-
able war services of the cobelliger-
ent democratic Italian people," and
for making Italy prey to a Com
munist Fifth Column by under
her economy.

Wuue Hour Administrator

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). =
Appointment of William r. Nc
Comb as administrator of the
Wage and Hour and Public Con-
tracts Divisions, U. S. Labor De-
partment, has been unanimously
confirmed by the U. S. Senate.
McComb, formerly deputy admin
istrator of the divisions, declared
that his administration of the
wage and hour law would seek to
bring the benefits of the statute
to all workers and to all employers
who were intended by Congress to
be subject to it's terms.

"The Fair Labor Standards Act
and the Walsh-Healy Public Con-
tracts Act" McComb said, shave
been accepted generally by en-
ployers as well as by employees.
These two acts which set basic la
Dor standards in interstate COM
merce and for the performance on
government contracts have be-
come a vital part of the nations

direct benefit to more than 20
million covered workers.

Workers Under 18
Found Twice As
Liable To Injury

Washington, d. C. QLNS). =
Children under 18 are twice as
likely as older factory workers to
be manned for life by a job acci-
dent, according to 1916 figures
just released" said Beatrice Nc
Connell, head of the child-labor
program of the U. S. Department
of Labor, by way of high-lighting
the May Day accident prevention
campaign.
"When a boy of Is loses a hand,
or even finger, in a power-driven
machine, he is handicapped for
life = physically and economical
ly. 1t is our business to prevent
such tragedies to American youth.
That is why we i'm the Child Labor
and Youth Employment Branch
are cooperating in the May Day
campaign with the Children's Bur-
eau and with President Truman
who has proclaimed May l as
Child-Health Day and called upon
the country to make it the begin
ming of sustained drive to pre-
vent accidents to children.
Thousands of child workers are
injured every year." emphasized
Miss Mcconnell, ain accidents that
could be prevented by improving
child labor laws or by full observ-
ance of laws already on the books.
Not only was the 1945 rate for per-
manent injuries twice as high for
young workers under 18 as for
adults in manufacturing industries
as a whole, but the rate for all in
juries-slight as well as serious
was nearly so per cent higher for
minors under 18 than for adults"
Il cannot believe" Miss McCon-
nell said in closing, "that America
will continue to tolerate the Grip
ping and killing of the children in
jobs that are too dangerous for
them"

President Green told the COM
mittee that comparison of the
funds appropriated for the Labor
Department with the expenditures
and appropriations for other fed
eral departments shows that La
Dor Department funds "are pitiful-
ly small" He backed up his
charge with revealing compari-
son between the departments
funds and those of the Commerce
and Agricultural Departments.
In detailed discussion of cuts
made in the departments agencies,
Green made vigorous defense of
major activities of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics and said the AF'L
believed the cut of 43 percent be-
low the bureaus budget estimate
is "unwise and wasteful."
Protests Cancellation Cuts
Green devoted considerable time
to the U. S. Cancellation Service,
emphasizing that in all the long
committee hearings in House and
Senate, "there has not been a
single voice raised against concilia-
tion or mediation as the chief in
strument" for the settlement of
labor-management disputes. He
protested the House cut of 25 per-
cent in the services budget, de-
elaring the step "was taken with
out an appraisal of the admins

UphoIds Order
ExiIing Civilians
In Time of War

New York City QLNS). - A
military commander has the right
during wartime to remove by force
u. S. citizen living in his COM
mand without benefit of trial or
power of martial law, according to
the decision of the U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in San Fran
cisco. It's ruling reversed a lower
court which granted 500 dam
ages to Homer G. Wilcox, leader
of mankind United" a religious
sect, on the ground that he had
been illegally elected from his
home by Lieut.. Gen. j. l.. Dewitt,
wartime commander of the West
ern Defense area.
Tn American Civil Liberties
Union which has supported Will
cox in both courts will assist an
appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court.
In overruling the lower court,
the Circuit Court declared that
since Wilcox was engaged in sedi-
tious activity, the civilian remedy
of criminal trial with bail and ap-
peal was not a sufficient safe
guard against possible illegal ac-
tivities. Said the court: ut ap-,
pears that Wilcox, after his re-
moval order and before removal,
was indicted and tried for treason
land, incidentally, convicted) and
during his prosecution, and even
after conviction, was released on
bail, thus throwing on Gen. De-
Witt the added burden of mill
tary surveillance of Wilcox's ac-
tivities."
The court interpreted the Presi-
Dental Executive Order as giving
Dewitt power to us his troops to
enforce the removal Of dangerous
persons. The lower court had de-
cided that the Generals act ex-
ceeded powers given him by either
Congress or the President. 1t held
that the sole means of enforcing
Wilcox's removal was to try him
i'm civilian courts on charges Of
violating the military's order. The
liberties union had hailed this in
depreciation by the lower court as
"a noteworthy victory upholding
our traditional American policy of
civilian over military control"

and services would be eliminated
or crippled.
Green denied that reductions in
appropriations below those sub
mitted by the President and ap-
proved by the Budget Bureau
were evidence of economy and de-
clared that on the contrary ere
duction in services and discontinue
ance of data needed for the wise
guidance of policies may prove
most costly"
Uninterrupted Output Vital
"For example," he said, "the
American Federation of Labor has
counselled its unions to increase
output and productivity as the
basis for demanding wage in
creases. The effectiveness of this
advice is conditioned by the avail
ability of current data on produc-
tivity, which, in turn, depends on
adequate appropriations"
Going on to champion adequate
funds for the department, the AFL
chief declared:
"There was never a time when
so much depended upon the ability
of United States industries to
maintain production without inter
ruptions by labor disputes-wheth-
er due to management or unions.
The conflicts growing out of the
problems of war settlements are
just as fiercely contested and just
as crucial to permanent peace as
war itself. Unless we win these
conflicts we lose what we have
gained.
Funds Held "Pitifully SmalP'
"We urge adequate appropria-
tions for essential functions of the
Department of Labor to enable the
department to provide information
and Cancellation services that will
promote satisfactory solutions Of
problems. 1t is not economy to
paralyze the services that can
assist management and labor to
effect wise adjustments. The de-
partment and its functions repre-
sent something infinitely more
than personalities and
personal shortcomings. The remedy

the President, be approved by the

NLRB Cuts Alarm AFL
Ending his statement, Green
asked adequate funds for the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board. He
pointed out that the board is fall
ing behind in its work due to re-
luctions i'm it's staff and said:
at is of vital Importance to sus-
ain production and industrial
peace, that disputes growing out
Of union representation and unfair
labor practices be settled promptly
and justly. Without adequate ap-
preparation, these detectives of
the National Labor Relations Act
cannot be realized. The decision of
the House to cut appropriations
for this board AZ percent below the
Presidents estimates causes the
federation considerable alarm. An
other substantial cut in personnel
would have to be made and the
result would be more delay. Tardy
justice in labor disputes is not eff
fective. Such a cut would coincide
with more than 80 percent in
crease in case load.
''ln addition, cases awaiting re-
view by the board must pile up in
Washington, thus in effect nullify-
ing an act that lies at the founda-
tion of industrial peace"

Anfi-Lubor Bill
BIosaed BY Meony

Washington, d. C. QLNS). -
The Hartley anti-labor bill was not
the creation of Representative
Fred M. Hartley and his colleagues
Of the House Labor Committee
"but was actually the product of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers," Secretary-t r a sure r
George Meany of the American
Federation of Labor charged in a
coast-to-coast radio address.
Internal strife which will wreck
Americas position as the champion
of freedom against further en-
croachments by Communism and
at the same time reduce the pro-
fits of the profit-greedy corpora
tions of the NAM by making the
workers bitter and un-productive
will be the inevitable result of
enactment of the Hartley bill,
Secretary Meany warned the ma
tion.
Speaking over the facilities of
the Mutual Broadcasting System,
the AFL leader blistered the Hart
ley bill, approved by majority Of
the House Labor Committee, as
faithfully reflecting the views of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
NAM Ideas In Bill
Throughout the 68 pages of
the BILL" Meany declared, 1--WE
find the ideas and the very
language of the MANS anti-labor
program lifted bodily and incor-
porated into the bill. " The
bill should be known as the Ma
tional Association of Manufactur-
ers bill, which in fact it is."
Th e AFL secretary-treasurer
lashed at the NAM for not caring
about anything except profits,
more profits and still more pro-
fits" carrying this greed to the
point where no concern is shown
over the fact the official anti
Communist program Of the United
States would be ''torpedoed."
Meany warned that the Hart
ley-NAM bill, if enacted into law,
would weaken the American eco
nomy to the point where this ma
tion would be unable to Command
respect in its dealings with the
other nations of the world"
Labor To Resist Statute
american workers will not
cheerfully accept any statute
which compels them to work
against their WILL" Meany empha-
sized. "They will resent and re-
sist such a flagrant violation by
Congress of the Constitution of
the United States-in particular,
the Thirteenth Amendment, which
forbids involuntary servitude.
"This bill will bring more re-
cruits into the ranks of those OPP
posed to the American way of life
than the Communist party of the
United States has been able to en-
roll in 80 years. Communism
thrives on chaos, disorder and op-
preston, and this bill--sponsored
and written by attorneys for
greedy anti-labor employers -
will surely bring about internal
chaos, disorder and oppression"
The oft-repeated claim that Con-
gress has a mandate" to "clamp
and a straitjacket on the
A erican wage-earner" was
demolished by Meany.
There is not a particle of truth
to any such claim" he declared.
"The fact is that last years elec-
ton mandate was to eliminate
bureaucracy, to wipe out regimen
tation. 1t was a protest against
the very bureaucracy and regimen
tation that this legislation would
bring about"
