IAN ond UE Settle
Long Rond Strikes

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (LPA)-
More than $500 members of the
Int'l Association of Machinists-
unaffiliated returned to work at
the Elmira, N. Y. plant of Rem
ington Rand last week after a
10 week strike which won them
an &c hourly raise and six paid
holidays.
A few days earlier, 5000
members of the United Elec-
trical, Radio g. Machine Work
ers-CIO had ended their five
week strike against eight other
Rand plants in six cities on the
same basis. The UE struggle was
by frequent instances of
violence as the company insti-
gated back-to-work movements
and attempted to use local law

MILW KEE, LPA)-
Starting its second year of ex-
istence as a full fledged ma
tional veterans organization,
the American Veterans Commit
tee is headed by a full slate of
pro-labor, anti-Communist Of
ficers.
Elected at AVC's convention
which ended here last week was
Chet Patterson, AVG legislative
representative, who ran for
chairman, as candidate of the
Independent Progressive Caucus.
The same groups candidate for

Usher of New Republic) and the
Committee for a United AVG

Communist Party inspiration).
The Independent Progressives
elected all Is of their candi-
dates-at-large to the National
Policy Committee and seven of
the eight regional members.
CALIFORNIA; representative is a
Build AVG choice, but not a
nominee of the United AVG
group.
Oppose TIL Bill
In its opening session the
Convention encouraged all dele
gates to wire their Senators i'm
mediately to sustain President
Truman's veto of thes Taft-Hart-
ley Bill. Although the vote on
various platform planks has not
yet been tabulated it is sure
that the liberal veterans group
has reaffirmed its defense of Ia
bor's rights and has taken a
vigorous position for health and
housing legislation.
Despite the activities of the
Committee for a United AVG 1t
is clear that the delegates have
again rejected state and federal
veterans bonuses, thereby reaf-
firming their adherence to the
organizations clogan, Citizens
First, Veterans Second"
While condemning the mill
tary features of the Truman
Doctrine the Convention en-
dorsed a program of economic
aid to war-ravaged nations sim
liar to Secretary of State Mar
shall's proposals. The American
plan for international control of
atomic energy was again en-
dorsed, and universal disarma-
ment advocated.

Fascist Symptoms
In US. GROWING

WAS SHIN ON. July
16 OPA)-There are many
strong symptoms of facism de-
veloping in the U.S., Rep.
Wright Patman 3D., Tex warns
in a foreword to "Facism in
Action" documented report
prepared for the House of Rep
resentatives.
The report became a public
document by the close margin
of 124 to lis vote and only
over the bitter opposition of a
Congressional group led by
Rep. Fred E. Busbey (R., Ill.)
who disliked the reports char
acterization of Franco Spain as
fascist government and a de-
scription of American business
tie-ups with pre-war Nazi-dom-
mated cartels.
ITO most Americans" the
Patman introduction says, "the
threat of fascism vanished with
the defeat of Germany and
Japan in the greatest war that
history has known. There is,
however, a real question as to
whether we defeated the evil it
self in destroying the two prin-
cipal exponents. Yet there are
many strong symptoms of fas-
cism in our democratic society.
"True this movement in the
US. masquerades under other
names than the discredited one
of fascism, but what ever it may
be called, its peculiar charac-
teristics are alarmingly evident.

labor movement. The working
class has more to fear from fas-
cism than any other group. It
is significant that one of the
early acts of every fascist re-
gime is the abolition of all la
Dor organizations outside gov
ernment control. One of the
most important changes fascism
brings about is the abolition of
free bargaining and of self-gov-
erning labor organizations. La
Dor policy under fascism first
of all takes away from the
workers all means of self-de-
fense. It renders all militant la
Dor action impossible. Further
more the state sanctions all sig
nificant conditions and terms of
the wage contract"

.CIO Accuses
AT. .&T. With


WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 =
(LPA) - The CIO has pledged
its full support to the American
Union of Telephone Workers,
charging that under cover OF
the Infamous Taft Hartley Act,
the American Telephone & Te-
legraph Corp, ''is apparently
seeking to determine the intern
al policies of a labor union.
AT&T last week withdrew re-
cognition of the AUTW as col
lective bargaining agent for the
5000 long lines workers in its
employ, within three weeks of
announcement by the union
that its membership in a re-
ferendum had voted to affiliate
with the Telephone Workers
Organizing Committee-CIO.
The company asked for ar
NLRB election or submission OF
other evidence that the AUTW
still represents the workers,
even though at the end of the
nationwide telephone strike
this spring an agreement was
reached between AUTW Off
GERS and the telephone com,
pany.
TWOC Secretary-treasurer T.
F. Silvey pointed out that the
AT&T sis moving only against
AUTW in depriving workers OF
their union recognition. The
AUTW, being the first of many
telephone workers unions to in
dicate its desire to affiliate with
the CIO, is being singled out
for punitive action by the cor
poration AT&T continues to
recognize other labor organiza-
tions without question"

Taxpayers
Soaked For
Cool Industry

WASHINGTON (LPA) - 1t
cost American taxpayers nearly
$1,000 900 for the government to
operate the nations soft coal
mines during the year following
federal seizure, and not one
penny of that will come out of
the huge profits collected for the
operators by the United States,
1t was disclosed recently by In
terror Department officials.
Real extent of the operators
profits cannot be ascertained be-
cause at least 25 % of the owners
not listed on the N. Y. Stock
Exchange, make no financial
reports. It was generally known
in government circles, however,
that profits were greater than
ever before. The Coal Mines
Administration, the &C tual fed
eral operating unit of the mines
during the year, has no clear
picture.
Meanwhile scare headlines in
many newspapers declared that
as the result of the UMW's As
cents-an-hour straight wage in
crease and package gain OF
1884 a day, coal coss to the
homeowner would increase as
much as $1.22. This was termed
nonsense by both government
and UNIV officials. UNIV
spokesmen saidl the wage hike
would necessitate an increase at
the mines of no more than so
cents ton initially and that as
the result of increased efficiency
and productivity this should be
reduced shortly to SIS cents
Coal Mines Administration Of
ficialS said that the "at-the-pit'
increase would not have to be
more than 67c-a-ton at first.

IUMSW Breoks
Con1panY Front

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 (LPA)-
A second break in the employer
front against the Industrial
Union of Marine & Shipbuilding
Workers-CIO, on strike against
19 East and Gulf coast ship
yards, came in Philadelphia last
week.
A settlement covering about
1900 workers in ship repair
yards along the Delaware River
brought wage increase of 12c
an hour. Previously the Todd
iIhipyard Corp, here reached an
'<ggreement with the union for a
12c hourly raise for its 5000
IUMSW employees.
Still on strike were approx
mately $4,000 shipyard workers
whose return to work may hinge
on union settlement with
Bethlehem Steel Co. which oper-
ates nine of the 10 struck yards.
Negotiations were stalemated
at the u. S. Cancellation Service
offices here after the union re-
iterated its demands for a
straight 13c an hour hike and
Bethlehem offered 12c but with
numerous unacceptable strings
attached. At New Orleans, one
week strike. by the IUMSW at
two Higgins boat plants was set
tied.
- Meanwhile the IUMSW gen
S.al executive board demanded
Congressional investigation of
the conspiracy of the ship
building employers to violate
zone standards agreements as a
prelude to their fight to destroy
the IUMSW."

Wheat Prices Continue
Decline From s. Top

CHICAGO, Mar. 19.-Wheat prices
on the Chicago Board of Trade to-
day continued their wide recession
from yesterdays high of s305.
Grains opened mixed, with wheat
starting half cent to 612 cents
lower and March selling at S2.86
Corn and oats were not much
changed from yesterdays close.
After March wheat yesterday had
passed SO for the second time in
the 99-year history of the Board of
Trade, prices declined the permits
sible limit of 10 cents.
The drop was attributed to re-
ports that the Government was
making more wheat available for
immediate delivery. In Washington
it was announced that Government
contracts with grail ealers calling
for March deliver. n wheat at
Kansas City have beeh changed to
permit delivery at other points. The
delivery date, April 10, remains un-
changed.
The Washington announcement
added that grains will be moved
from spring wheat areas to Gulf
ports to meet April export commit
ments, If sufficient winter wheat
is not obtained.
