The CIO Executive Board today
laid aside the puzzle Of what to do
about member union split by a
communism issue and turned to
means of fighting the new congress
sional labor law.
Board members, themselves di-
vided, voted n to for a four
point program intended to restore
peace among the warning Mine, Mill
and Smelter Works. But they re-
ferred the whole dispute to the
CIO convention. next October for
final decision.
The board was expected to be
unanimous enough at todays seS-
sion in it's condemnation of the
proposed new legal curbs on unions.
CIO President Philip Murray
sounded the keynote last night in a
radio speech saying only a veto
by President Truman can head of
a "monstrous" law which would
produce made crisis more
devastating than the big depres-

Unity Plan Rejected.
Earlier in the day, MIR. Murray
reported that the CIO rejected the
EAFL,s proposal for labor unity be-
cause it would have produced a la

quated concepts and values"
Mr.. Murray said the CIO believes
that "a united labor movement with
strength, courage and vision can be
fashioned in America and will con-
tinue to work tirelessly for this.
But he contended 1t could not be
accomplished without certain funda-
mental principles of unionism as
practiced by the CIO.
His report on the CIO-AFL mer-
ger negotiations of May IL, ad-
dressed to all CIO unions, was
unanimously approved by the GIG
Executive Board. 80
Mr.. Murray said the AFL has an
E"indecisive and inadequate position
on jurisdictional strikes, which Mr..
Murray called morally, socially
and economically indefensible.' He
said the AFL proposal was merely
that all CIO unions enter the AFL
The CIO merger proposal, which
the AFL rejected, was for immediate
Joint action against restrictive legis-
lation, an agreement to eliminate
jurisdictional disputes, and the &C

craftsmen means that he knows the problem of on-the-site construction and installation is in capable hands, and his thoughts and energies can be directed into other management phases of his business so as to result III greater overall efficiency. This can make possible higher wages, higher profits and lower costs.
 HELPS CONSUMER
 To the consumer, an adequate sup ply of skilled workers means better, more dependable construction and re- pairs at lower prices. It is generally agreed that the most expensive job, regardless of wage rate, is the job done by the inferior mechanic.
 To the apprentice, an appren- ticeship leading to qualified jour- neymanship means the opportunity to earn a better living for himself and his family and opens the way to advancement in the construction industry which is limited only by his own energy and initiative.
 There is little quarrel generally with either the objectives or the benefits which can be derived from an appren- ticeship system, and plans to estab- fish such systems have already been put into effect widely. However, the establishment of a plan and admins trative machinery does not always as- sure that the end result will be achieved.
 The plan must be made into a living reality and this involves the willingness upon the part of Joint Apprenticeship Committees to as- sume rather heavy burdens of supervision and administration. In too many cases, committees have tended to neglect these functions to the detriment of the program. This is particularly true in large pro- grams embracing 50 or more ap- prentices. In most cases, the ap- prentices are scattered over wide area and employed by as many as 40 or more different employers. The problems of record keeping

 Oh, inconstancy and inconsistency, thy name is Labor On the front page, April Both, you give rap at Taft, stating that in his anti-labor legisla- ton he is running true to form. But turn the page, and on column four, in his bill to suppress the freedom of women, you bless him as standard bearer for the weaker sex. You did not publish the fact that his house partner in this red-herring bill is arl- other friend CD of yours, Senator Wadsworth. Wadsworth's fat h er fought votes-for-women with tooth and nail; his mother was the President of the Anti Suffrage Society. This bill proposing an investigation of the status of women Ca status already sur veyed and documented), with endless commissions and large expenditures, deceives no one, not even its advo- cates. It is one more attempt to deny women the status of full citizenship and equal status under the law.
 What do working women think of the Taft-Wadsworth Bi1l7 I quote from Miss Sally Butler, President of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, who opposes the aft-Wadsworth Bill, H.R. 1912. She says women, to make themselves effective as world citizens, must have full citizenship; this can only be accomplished through the Equal Rights Amendmert.-Women who have to work to support them selves, and often others as well, must necessarily be deeply interested in the Equal Rights Amendment which is designed to wipe out the discrimina- tions from which women have suf- fered so long and so greatly, and which prevent them from receiving and enjoying fully the fruits of their labor"

and adequate supervision in a pro- gram of this kind is very real.
 It is interesting to note that con- mittees i'll some states have recog- nized this problem and, in cooperation with the industry, have made provi- sion to put on full-time apprentice supervisors.
 This problem is now being faced by some of the Joint Committees in Connecticut and consideration is being given to the employment of apprentice supervisors. This would make another real step forward in achieving the objectives of the pro- gram and assuring the benefits to be derived.
 The Board unanimously voted its thanks to MT. Hyman, and expressed appreciation of the help given to or ganized labor and management by the Apprentice Training Service.
