Job Bios Breeds
Communism. Says
Senufe Witness

Washington (LPA) = Job dis
elimination in the U. S. is doing
more to spread Communism than
could hordes of totalitarian agents,
a spokesman for the Jewish Labor
Committee last week told the Sen
ate subcommittee studying the
Ives Chavez bill on discrimination
in employment.
"Arms play only a minor role in
the extension of totalitarian influ-
ence today" declared a statement
prepared by JIG President Adolph
Held. The major role is played by
propaganda. Thruout Central and
South America, in India, Japan, and
other Asiatic countries, in Africa,
in Italy, in France, totalitarian ex-
pansiOn and the struggle against
democratic forces is closely allied
with anti-American propaganda.
Every item of discrimination which
can be shown to exist in the United
States serves as fuel for the totali-
tartan propaganda machine. This
propaganda machine, the most pow
erful in the world, rejoices at every
discriminatory practice, at every
racist influence which they can
truthfully describe as present in the
United States. We cannot fight pro-
paganda with arms. We must fight
it with truth"

CAN CONGRESS
ANSWER These
QUESTIONS?

Washington IPA)-When sew
eral dozen mayors, and top Off
cials of more than 35 national or
ganizations including the CIO and
AFL, come together for the capi-
tol's Eight for Housing Day" this
week, they have five questions
that they're planning to ask mem
bers of Congress.
All over the country-in an esti-
mated 100 communities similar
meetings will be going on in an
effort to blast out of Congression-
al cubbyholes the Taft-Ellender-
Wagner general housing bill.
Here are their questions:
81. Where in the US. is hous-
ing being built for low and average
income families, including those
of veterans?
"2. Where is any really low-cost
housing even being planned?
SO. Where is any volume of hous-

SociuI Security
Opposed BY AFL

Washington (LPA) = A step
backwards in the way the federal
social security system works was
voted last week by the House of
Representatives, when it froze the
levy for old age and survivors
benefits at 19o for two more years,
with increases to 11a% beginning
with 1850, and 2%c on Jan. l, 1857.
This completely revises the orr
ginal schedule of payments on pay
rolls-levied on employer and en-
ploye equally-in the Social Secu-
rity Act.
"Those who advocate freezing"
asserted AFL Social Security Ac-
tivities Director Nelson Cruik-
shank, shave 1889 conception of
social security, but conditions dur
ing the past eight years have rad
ically changed" For instance, the
AFL spokesman pointed out, the
average old age pension now being
paid under the Act is in the vicinity
of S25 month, though the cost of
living has risen so greatly that
pensioner can live only in abject
poverty under the social security
insurance.

Building trades unions are to be
commended for liberalizing their

Truman Veto Hits
Labor Press Curb
BY Toff-HorfIey

Washington (LPA) - President
Truman's veto message on the
Taft Hartley bill made a special
point of its effect on the nations
labor press.
Many AFL and CIO editors thru
out the country had pointed out
that they could be prosecuted and
sent to Jail, under the provisions
of the bill, for backing any poll
tical candidate or taking a poll
tical stand before a convention or
election. Several editors expressed
willingness to go to Jail to test the
law.
Said Truman: SIN undertaking
to restrict political contributions
and expenditures the bill would
prohibit many legitimate activities
on the part of unions and corpor-
ations. This provision would pre-
vent the ordinary union newspaper
from commenting favorably or un-
favorably upon candidates or is
sues in national elections.
81 regard this" Truman declar-
ed, as a dangerous intrusion on
free speech, unwarranted by any
demonstration of need, and quite
foreign to the stated purposes of
of this BILL"

COAL STRIKE
THREAT AGAIN
WORRIES u. s.

Washington (LPA) = Govern
ment officials last week started
worrying again about the only ma.
jor strike possibility remaining in
the country-coal.
Negotiations between the mine
owners and the United Mine Work
ers-AFL were broken off pending
Congressional action on the Taft
Hartley bill Meanwhile the U. S.
Cancellation Service was quietly
making plans to bring the union
and the operators together if 4
strike threatens.
The mines return to private own
ership on midnight June 80, but be-
cause Of a Today miners vacation
no walkout con occur before July
7 at the earliest. Government Off
cials were frankly worried about
the results of a possible strike
when the Bureau of Mines disclos-
ed that the nation had only enough
coal to last 33 days, according to
an estimate made on Nav !.

PefriIIo Starts
His Eighth Term

Detroit QLNS). President
James C. Petrillo was inducted into
office June 13 for an eighth term
by the American Federation of
Musicians as the golden jubilee
meeting of the union came to a
close.
President Petrillo was reelected
without opposition, as were all
other members of the official fam
lily who were standing for reelec-
ton. The only addition was that of
George V. Clancy, secretary-treas-
urer of Local No. 5 of Detroit, to
the international executive board.
The convention authorized the
national office of the union to es-
tablish a public relations bureau.
Herman d. Kenin, member of the
executive board, declared that it
was time that "the federation
should adopt a positive policy, so
that we can be known for what
we do, as well as for what we are
against"
The executive board was direct
ed to ask Congressman, the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the
National Hotel Association to aid
in having the 20 percent tax on
entertainment reduced or eliminat-
ed. The tax since the end of the
war has resulted in a marked de-
cline in employment of musicians
in night clubs, it was explained.

Congress ToHeor
from Labor About
Climbing Prices

Washington (LJA) - Congress-
will finally hear the views of eco
nomists, industry, labor, and other
interested groups, on what has
caused present sky-high prices. 1t
will also ask for their views on
,,ndahether the present economic sit
W v,tion is "normalcy", or the begin
ming of a recession.
The Joint Committee on the
Economic Report, set up under the
Employment Act of 1916, at long
last scheduled the hearings, start
ing this week and continuing for
at least four weeks.
On the eve of the announcement,
of the Joint Committees action, a
freshman Republican member of the
Senate, Raymond Baldwin (R.,
Conn., braved the wrath Of Sen.
Robert A. Taft (R., Ohio) by as
serting on the floor that "the fact
is perfectly clear that something
can and must be done to change
the growing trend toward higher
prices. Since the Administration
has shown no disposition to date to
cope effectively with this very i'm
portant problem, there is every
reason why this Congress should
ascertain at the earliest date why
prices are high, what corrective
measures can be taken and then to
formulate and to put into opera
tion those measures"
More interesting to the consum-
or was the report last week that
the cost-of-living in large cities
declined slightly between mid-April
and mid May. 1t was still 1870
higher than a year ago, and $50

To Bor Employment Discrimination

Harrison said AVG held firmly
within it's own ranks to a policy of
discrimination.
The AVG vice-chairman praised
the provisions of the Ives Bill as
"an effective method to reach sound
and necessary ends"
"We welcome the tone of the
legislation which places response
bility for fair employment equally
upon employers and trade unions,
which makes conference and con-
ciliaiton mandatory, and resorts
only in the end to court enforce
ment against those persons who re-
fuse to comply with the law" he
said. He added: "We do not mean
by this that we are opposed to
strong measures to combat dis
elimination. Court enforcement
should be assured where an en-
ployer or union refuses to comply
with the law after conferences with
the commission"

TRUMAN FACES
new VETO ON
RENT CONTROL

Washington (LPA)- President
Truman has until June 20 to sign
or veto "sorry compromise" of
rent control bill, finally passed
after months of delay by both
House and Senate last week.
Representing an almost complete
victory for the real estate lobby,
the bill allows 1870 rent rises in
all cases where landlord and ten
ant sign leases to run thru 1913;
it eliminates almost all remaining
controls over construction except
for recreation and entertainment
purposes; it removes all rent con-
trolls from new housing, hotels,
newly rented dwellings,, and re-
modelled homes.
In addition, local boards in each
of 600 present rent-controlled areas
will be empowered to recommend
removal of controls or allow rent
increases on grounds of hardship,
and the rent administrator would
have to act on the recommendations
within 80 days.
"You're setting a bomb with a
time fuse under the tenants" Sen.
Glen Taylor 3D., Idaho) warned
the Senate before it was passed.
Another opponent of the measure,
Rep. Brent Spence d., Ky.) told
his fellow members of the House
that "Under this 1870 increase, you
shackle the tenant and you give
the landlord club"

Veto Kills Plans
For Tax WindfuII

Washington (LPA)-A tax bill
was vetoed for only the seconC
time in the nations history last
week as President Truman respond
ed to the advice of administration
leaders and labor spokesmen and
turned down the Republican Party's
tax program to "aid the greedy and
rob the needy"
Even more amazing was the COM
pletely unexpected action of the
House of Representatives in sus-
tanning the veto by slim two-vote
margin. 1t was the first time in
history that a tax veto had been
sustained. The COP high command
was more than confident that the
GOP-controlled House, which pass
ed the final bill 220 to SO, would
easily override a veto. A closer
battle was figured in the Senate
where the bill passed 48 to % with
19 not voting.
While disgruntled Republicans,
still not believing that their num-
ber-one piece of legislation had
been slaughtered before their eyes,
shouted that they would make a
campaign issue of it next year, one
fact emerged clearly. There can be,
as Sen. Robert Taft (R., Ohio) ad-
mitted, no further attempt to force
thru any tax legislation during this
session.
The House vote was 26S to 1877
in favor of overriding the veto,
with 270 necessary for the two
thirds required to override. 1t re-
uuired two shows of hands to con-
vince the incredulous Republicans
that they had lost, but both times
the tally showed that the total of.
233 Republicans and 35 Democrats
to override were not quite enough
to beat the 1874 Democrats, two
Republicans and one American La
borite who voted to sustain the
veto.
In his veto message President
Truman declared that the bill was
"likely to induce the very reces-
sion we seek to avoid" Truman
echoed organized labor's argu-
ments when he told Congress the
COP tax bill "fails to give relief
where it is needed most"
Said Truman pointedly: "Under
HR-1, tax savings to the average
family with an income of $25O0
would be less than $50, while taxes
on an income of $4,000 would be
reduced by nearly $5COO, and on an
income of $5O0,000 by nearly $780,
600. In so far as 'take-home' pay
is concerned, under HR-1, the fam
lily earning $2500 would receive an
increase of only 1870; the family
with an income of $4,000 would
receive an increase of 1859, and
the family with an income of $780,
900 would receive an increase of
$780,"

Curuvun Trek
Successful As
Truman vefoeS

Washington (LPA)-A spontan-
eous uprising of organized labor
both AFL and CIO-converged on
Washington last week from almost
every section of the country to de-
mand that President Truman veto
the Taft Hartley slave labor bill
and that Congress sustain his veto.
A ''veto caravan" initiated by
AFL unionists in Los Angeles
started eastward 5000 miles to
Washington, but it had hardly got
started before it was joined by CIO
and AFL groups in other cities on
the route. Like a SNOWFALL, as the
caravan raced toward the nations
capital, it collected additional cars
and bus-loads of unionists. Word
of the caravan preceded it to Michi-
gan, Ohio, New York and New
England and in many places new
caravans were formed to join the
main group en- route or meet it in
Washington.
When the motor cavalcade reach
ed Washington two days before
Truman's veto message was deliv-
cred to Congress it numberer near
ly 400 cars carrying 1900 tired, be-
grimed but grimly determined
unionists. The caravan did not have
the official sponsorship of either
AFL or CIO.
Concentrating on members of the
Senate, where the only hope of sus-
tanning a veto lay, the unionists
buttonholed Senators in their cham
bers or called them off the floor
of the Senate to urge them to sus-
tain the expected veto. The long
arduous trip was rewarded for hun
dreds of the delegates when they
crowded into the House visitors
galleries to hear the Presidents
veto message read.
