Natl Labor Delations Board comes
ap. At thai time the NLRB can
be prohibited from handling any
cases involving this type of work
er
Ironically, the two liberal con-
ferees who dissented from the final
bill were joined by Congress num-
ber one labor hater, Rep. Clare
Hoffman (R., Mich.), who objected
because the bill failed to restrict
labor rights more than it did. Hoff-
man was bitter that the final ver-
sion did nos completely outlaw
both union security and industry
wide bargaining.
With the final form of the bill
almost foregone conclusion-that
it would follow Party Leader Taft's
own bill-the question remained
as to whether Truman would veto
the bill. Two members of the cab
met, Labor Secretary Schwellen-
bach and Postmaster Gen. Robert
Hannegan were known to favor
veto, but the others were reported
to be either mildly or strongly in
favor Of Truman's signing the bill
or letting it become law without his
signature.
Thruout the country both AHL
and CIO state and local organiza-
tions pressed campaigns both for a
veto and for a Senate vote to sus-
tain veto. Joint AFL-CIO cam
paigns increased and many locali-
ties planned to follow the lead of
the AFL-and ClO in New York in
holding "Veto Day" demonstra-
tions.
Hartley was sure that the Re-
publicans with southern Democratic
help could override veto. His
supporters pointed out that seven
Senators who voted for the origi-
nal Wagner Act voted for the
Taft bill. They were: Democrats
George (Ga.), Hatch IN. MexO,
Mex Kellar (Tenn.), Connally (Tex),
and Overton Ua.). Two Republi-
cans who voted for the Wagner
bill also voted for its emasculation
by the Taft measure: White (Mo.),
and Capper (Kan.).
The final Taft-Hartley program
shaped up with the following pro-
visions:
Authorizes the Justice Dept
to obtain injunctions for 80 days
against strikes which allegedly inn
peril national health and welfare.
A coal, steel, trucking, railroad,
shipping, or telephone strike could
easily be considered in this cate
CORY.

Shipyard Technical Men
Organize In AFL Union

Atlanta QLNS).-Technical en-
gineers and craftsmen for the In
gals Shipbuilding Co., Pascagoula,
Mississippi have vote two to one
for the International Federation of
Technical Engineers, Architects
and Draftsmen's Unions, AFL.
Efforts to organize the technical
engineers and craftsmen in the
huge Pascagoula shipyard have
run over period of several years.
During the war period when the
shipyard employed about 10000
workers the craftsmen and engi-
neers made several attempts to or
ganize, each time being defeated
by the company's attitude toward
union organization among this
group.
The recent success was due to
large extent to the efforts of
James F. Barrett of the general
organizing staff attached to the
Southern AFL office i'm Atlanta,
together with Organizer Charles
Waid who assisted in the general
campaign.
The success of this group of en-
ployes make the beginning of an
all-out organizing drive on behalf
of the American Federation of La
Dor in the Pascagoula area. Reports
of material progress are reaching
the Southern office in building up
of membership of local unions al
ready in existence at the Ingalls,
shipbuilding plant.

problem facing the American peo-

Last Friday, Taft fired back, and
listed five points on which he
claimed Truman was contributing
to the high price level. Several in
volved concessions to organized la

the Case slave labor bill-which
Taft claimed resulted in raised

Industry Owes
Debt To Strikes

Indianapolis (LPA)-While labor
must learn to use the power of
strike judiciously, the right to
strike must not be infringed," Vice
president Dave Beck, of the 1nt'l
Brotherhood of Teamsters-AFL,
declared last week in an article
written for the American Legion
magazine.
'Industrialists with vision must
realize that they owe historical
debt to the strike" Beck said. ia
Dor fought hard for equal rights
in court and under the law. Long
ago the sweatshop and the COM
pany-store peonage racket disap-
peared under the pressure of
strikes, and when workers began to
earn money and more leisure,
fighting and striking almost every
inch Of the way in many industries,
a golden age opened up for indus
try, because labor became indus
try's best customer.
To-day any men who call IN one
breath for increased production and
in the next for curtailment of the
right to strike, want to have their
cake and eat it too," the Teamster
leader asserted. 'The right to strike
on the part of labor is all that
assures industry that labor will
be able to afford the products of
industry"
"No; the cure of industrial dis
turbance is not to be found in semi
slave laws intended to take away
the hard-earned rights of working
people and tie toilers to their jobs
against their will. 1t is to be found
only in understanding between men
of good will in industry and lafor,
and in public support for honest
men,"

Taft and the COP machine en-
couraged the impression that the
House bill was far more stringent
than the Senate version and that
therefore concessions were to be
made toward the allegedly mild
er" Taft program. Actually as both
pro-labor Congressman and union
leaders pointed out there was no
great choice between the two.
Finally, it became clearly estab-
lished in the final days of confer
ence pickering that Taft, as party
leader, wanted the House bill to ap-
pear more restrictive in order to
give the Senate conferees greater
bargaining power and also to shape
public opinion behind the idea that
it was a touchdown" bill and
therefore should not be vetoed.
This sham did not fool two of
the conferees. The final bill was
condemned by Sen. James Murray
3D., Mont.) and Rep. John Lesin-
ski 3D., Mich, who charged joint
ly that the conference "made a bad
piece of legislation worse" and
marked "a milestone on the road
back"
The two liberals contended that
Because it strengthens every ten
dency in American life toward in
dustrial concentration and prof.
teering while it weakens the chief
agency that protects the purchas-
ing power of American consumers
1t is bad economics"
The final stumbling block was
supposedly a clause to bar nearly
250,0C0 workers in food processing
and packing plants from collective
bargaining rights. This, too, was a
fake issue, according to labor lead
ers. The final compromise, so SIM
pie it made reporters laugh, was
to omit any description of such
workers and let the issue ride
until the next appropriation for the

Washington (LPA) - Presi-
dent Truman and Republican Presi-
Dental hopeful Robert Taft came
into headon collision last week
over who is responsible for present
high prices.
More or less impartial obser-
vers agreed that more heat than
light was generated; little new ex-
cept fine phrases was added to
the actual picture of soaring prices
and reduced purchasing power,
with the prospect of a recession in
the near future.
Taft started the fight with a
comment after a meeting of the
Joint Committee on the Economic
Report, which dealt with an INJURY
into prices, that apparently the
President and the Administration
are abandoning their talk of keep
ing prices down in favor of heavy
spending abroad that will keep
them up"
Replied Truman, In an unusual
prepared statement which he read
at his press conference last week,
"The fact that necessary foreign
aid programs add to our economic
problems at home makes it all the
more important that we handle
these domestic problems with vigor
and common sense"
Without price control, Truman
went on, and with a tremendous
peacetime demand for goods, "it is
up to those whose profits are high
at the current inflated prices to re-
duce these prices voluntarily"
The President told reporters that
eff the government were to aban-
don its vitally necessary loan and
expenditures programs, if wages
were reduced, if savings were ex-
hausted, and if unemployment set
in, and then there would be less de-
mand and prices would drop.
"Sen. Taft would call this an
adjustment. | would call it a tragic
depression or recession The

ing during this period would lose

Green described the celebration
as "an historic moment not only

ism, but also in the annals of the
American labor movement" He
said the Forward had faithfully
performed it's tasks because it's edi-
tors so well understood that a

If you have to live on a close
budget, take an evening off from
it once in a while and make your
husband be your boy friend again
for a night out on the town. It's
worth it-even if you both have
to wear patches.
Don't eve get the idea that your
children need you more than your
husband does. The lovely migrate
full little wretches will never really
lean on your love as he does.
Don't wear him down with words
if he occasionally reaks out CT
harness to spend a little time with
the boys at the bar. No woman
knows the land of lost delight that
lives in a mans heart, and if he
wants to look back at that vanished
heyday for a few hours, why. give
the big bum a break. He'll be
happy when he crawls back to the
home you made him.
Don't pack up the children and
move back to mama if he gets
silly and makes passing goo-goo
eyes at another woman. This is
probably only his brief way of
nose-thumbing old age, and is no
more serious than a sore tooth in
one Of the children.
