Concluding his remarks in re-
gard to general wage increase
and adjustment Of inequities under
the present contract. Green said:
"Now, | hope you will succeed in
your deliberations here. | know
that these Representatives Of Labor
are going to be very modest in
their demands-in fact | think the
representatives Of the manufac-
turers here will offer them more
than they are asking, and in the
last analysis you will have to ar
que with them to accept your Of
fer against their will. But at any
rate / want you to work out a
solution of your problems here in
Washington, just as you have done
at Atlantic City so many times,
and in other sections of the coun-
try. | feel that you will, and |
know you will do it without re-
sorting to a moment of stoppage
of work in the pottery industry"

with the women against the food
trust "to beat prices down." New
Orleans newspapers, radio stations
and department stores are also
giving the women vigorous sup
port.
Rent control is the latest objec-
tive the women have added to their
effective battle against initiation,
and for this they have found
new tactic-political action.

ceries go up, we can cut down on
our purchases" Mrs. Bailkin ex-
planned. "But when a landlord
raises his rent from $40 to $50, we
can't tell him that wen take just
$40 worth Of the house."
The answer is that the New
Orleans women are preparing an
ordinance for city rent control to
be presented to the commission
council in case federal rent control
is discontinued. At the same time
they are bringing pressure to bear
upon Louisiana congressman and
Senators to keep federal control
unimpaired.

New Orleans (FP) - Blazing
trail for the entire nation, the
housewives Of New Orleans are on
the march against initiation, and
the price Of bacon and other foods
is tumbling before their advance.
Banded together in United Wo-
men to Combat Inflation, they rep
resent the combined strength Of
58 local women's organizations
with a total membership Of l08,-
900.
Over-the-fence discussion Of the
cost Of Priscilla's dresses and Will
lies school lunch brought UWCI
into being. First it was taken up
by the Parent-Teachers Associa-
tion in Webster School. Then it
went to the citywide PTA. The
PTA sent out the call to 90 wom-
ems organizations, so Of which
joined forces. That was in Decem-
Der, just a month ago.
First thing the women went
after was bacon, which had sky
rocketed from 45 cents to IS cents
after the food trust killed OPA.
Mighty little bacon was sold in
New Orleans during the next few
weeks. Now it's down to As cents
again in some stores and the wom-
en- are taking their custom there.
Next the women took American
and cheddar cheese. In two weeks
they brought it down from rs cents
to so cents and cheese is again on
New Orleans tables. Now they're
after canned fish. The call has
gone out to "pay no more than 36
cents per 8-ounce can of tuna, no
more than 27 cents for pink sal
mon, no more than 18 cents for
mackerel."
"We are confident these prices
will be down, all right, within a
week, because we've learned what
mass democratic pressure can do"
said Mrs. Benjamin Bailkin, UWCI
chairman, who represents the PTA.
The women aren't conducting
their fight alone. Five days after
they organized, the New Orleans
Retail Grocers Association charged
that certain manufacturers Of

As Strike Ends

Miami, Fla. (FP) = The 5-day
strike Of more than 1000 Hialeah
racetrack grooms and exercise
boys ended here Jan. 22 with a
partial victory as authorities
agreed to cut kitchen prices OF
foods % per cent.
The strikers walked out Jan. IL
in protest against a track an
nouncment that it would discon-
tinue awards of $40 for leading
horses to the post and $40 bonuses
for winners. Although this issue
was not settled as the boys and
grooms went back, their lawyer,
Alfred Kreisler, said they planned
to affiliate with the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters and
then open negotiations on wage
demands as an alternative to re-
storation Of the bonus.
Their decision to return was un-
doubtedly influenced by the posi-
ton of teamster President Daniel
j. Tobin, in Miami for a meeting
of the IBT executive council, who
told Federated Press it was not
customary for the union to take in
individuals on strike but indicated
they would be welcome after set
tlement of the dispute.
The exercise boys and grooms
were bolstered in their strike by
blacksmiths, who walked off and
went fishing in protest against
hiring inexperienced help. 1t was
anticipated they would return to
work with the end of the grooms'
strike.

This Treasury ruling was ac-
companied by an opinion that

Employers will withhold the GUS

the spirit in Congress today:

President Green expressed con-
fidence American workers twill ad-
just themselves in a most commen-
dable way to the change from the
war emergency and reconversion
period to the normal way of liv-
ing", stating:
81 am sure we learned many

And we found out that notwith-
standing our willingness to CO.

ernment that it was impossible for
the Government to make a success

their wage control policies, of their
labor domination and of their in

prise.
"If there is any group in Amer
lea that stands as defender Of
the free enterprise system it is
the 100000 members of the
Federation of Labor.
Now we can't have free enterprise
and governmental domination and
control at the same time. And Con-
gress ought to think about that!
How are we going to maintain our
free enterprise system if we are
going to shackle groups by con-
trolling them and dominating them
through the enactment of anti
labor legislation. And the record
shows that America is the remain

the world have turned to the left
and the free enterprise system has
been destroyed. Even in Great
Britain, that nation which we have
always held up as a model, we
find the people have turned to the
left in favor of governmental own
ership and governmental control.
| remember in days gone by the
tories of Great Britain were warn
ed against any attempts they were
making to exploit labor beyond
the standpoint of reason and just
ice. Are the tories in America
going to follow the same policy?
Shall they drive Labor in Amer
lea to the left? Are they going to
endanger this land, our own free
land, of that great vital force of
private enterprise?
"Those are some of the things
that those, who are inspired by
feelings of hatred towards Labor,
are now attempting to do, attempt
ing to shackle Labor, to enslave
Labor, to rob Labor of its
rights, to make Labor subject to
the control and domination of
force and compulsion. Those who
favor that should be thinking
about the great vital principle in
volved: the preservation of free
enterprise in the last remaining
nation in the world, where the free
enterprise system still exists.
at seemed appropriate and fit
ting to me to make these remarks
at the present time, ladies and
gentlemen.
"Now, last of all, the member
ship of the American Federation
of Labor has almost 100000 paid
up members. That is shown by the
books in our office 100000
strong! They are devoted, loyal
Americans. We are proud of this
splendid group here and they are
typical of the membership of the
American Federation of Labor.
Those 100000 members stand as
bulwark against the infiltration
of foreign philosophers in our po-
litical and industrial life. America
will be safe from the infiltration
of these economic PHILOSOPHERS so
long as those 100000 members
of the American Federation of
Labor stand united and function
together. 1t is a bulwark in de-
fense of free enterprise and
against destructive foreign phil
osophies. We believe in free enter
prise and we are opposed to totali-
tarianism. They have no strikes in
totalitarian countries. Do we want
this country totalitarianism and no
strikes, or do we want free dem
ocrocy and free enterprise and
strikes? | would rather live in a
free country than be a slave in
totalitarian nation.
81 am proud to say to you that
the American Federation of Labor
stands in opposition to Commun-
ism, in opposition to foreign phil
osophies, in opposition to totali-
tarianism in any form. We stand
as a defender of the rights of en-
ployers to invest their money and
to operate their properties, free
from governmental control, or free
from interference from any source
whatsoever. That is the right we
enjoy under a free enterprise sys-
tenn, and it is our purpose to stand
immovable in defense of that right
