Settle Labor Disputes
Locally, Clinics Plan

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22--
LPA)-Cyrus S. Ching, newly
appointed director of the Federal
Cancellation and Mediation Serv'
ice created by the Taft-Hartley
law, will not take office until
Sept. 3, he announced here last
week after comforting with Pres
ident Truman.
The 71-year,old industrial and
public relations director of us,
Rubber Co., said he would name
an acting director to serve be-
tween Aug. % and Sept. 3 while
he cleared up his private affairs
in New York.
Ching told reporters, Il think
one of the most important things
is to encourage people in every
way to settle their own affairs.
He added that he believed the
Taft Hartley law intended tha'
as many disputes as possible bt
settled at the local level. That's
what well tryyto do" he said.

Ginmick In FEPC
Bill ChulIenued

WASHINGTON (LPA) - A
powerful case against watering
down the bill TO outlaw discrimi.
nation in employment has been
filed with the Senate Labor Com.
mittee by Henry Epstein, former
solicitor general of New York
State, and chairman of the Ma
tional Community Relations Ad-
visory Council.
Sparks flew in executive ses-
sions of the Senate Labor Sub
committee when 1t discussed the
FEPC bill at the end of July,
and deep resentment was ex.
pressed by the bills supporters
over the way Sen. Alexander
Smith (R,, N. J) pulled the
props out" from under the mea.
sure, of which he is co-sponSor.
Smith--unloved by labor for
his sponsorship of the Taft Ball
Smith anti.labor bill, granddaddy
of the Hartley law - pro.
posed that states be given the
choice either u of complying
with the anti.discrimination law
with its penalties for violation,
or p leaving employers free to
practice discrimination within
the state.

B. +. Goodrich Co.
Surrender Averfs
Rubber Strike

AKRON, Aug, % LPA)-The
United Rubber Workers (CIO)
won one of its greatest victories
in recent years last week when
the B. F. Goodrich Co. capitu-
lated to union demands and
agreed to company-wide bargain.
ing.
The surrender came on the
eve of a scheduled nationwide
strike which would have called
out $1,000 workers in seven
plants ranging from Los Angeles
to Oaks, Pa. Workers at the
Tuscaloosa, Ala, plant jumped
the gun and were already out
when the company made its l1th-
hour concession.
Goodrich's capitulation brought
company-wide bargaining to the
third member of the rubber in
duStry's big four. Goodyear and
u. S. Rubber now have company
wide contracts but Goodrich and
Firestone declared they would
insist on plant-by-plant negotia'
tions. The union obtained an
111z cent wage raise from the
big four in March and on July
81 exercised its contractural
right to reopen the contract on
the wage issue. 1t was then that
Goodrich and Firestone refused
to bargain collectively for all
their plants.

Credit Buying
Control Ends

ASHIN GTON (LPA)-
President Truman last week re
luctantly signed the bill which
will end all federal controls ovel
installment buying of autos, re.
frigerators, stoves, other house.
hold equipment and furnishings
on Nov. l.
Warning that a return to the
days of $1-down-and-$1-every
week" buying might add to the
present initiation, Truman plead
ed with banks, loan companies,
and retail establishments having
installment plans to "avoid un-
due relaxation of terms
'It would be far better" Tru-
man said, to reduce prices
rather than to relax terms in
seeking new customers. Self
restraint on the part of those
who use credit, as we'll as upon
the part of those who extend it
will reduce the danger of an
over-expansion of inStallment
credit which would inevitably
be followed by severe contrac-
ton, thereby contributing to un-
employment and to reduced pro-
duction."
Both AFL and CIO in recent
weeks have urged their mem

Some Vets Not
Affected By Law

The G. I. Bill rights of persons

Armed Forces Voluntary Re-
cruitment Act of 1945 and whose
enlistment period extends be-
yond July 25, 1947, are not af-
fected by the law officially end
ing war hostilities as of the lat
ter date, Veterans Administra-
ton said today.
These rights are loan guaran-
tees for home, farm or business
purposes; education and on-job
training, and readjustment al
loWances for unemployment and
self-employment.
Those who enlisted or re-en-
listed within one year of the
Oct. 6, 1945, approval of the
Armed Forces Recruitment Act
received statutory assurance that
for the purposes of G. l. Bill
benefits the period during which
they could earn entitlement for
the benefits would not expire un-
til the end of their enlistment.
For other service personnel
and for World War II veterans
already discharged, the act end
ing war hostilities CPublic Law
239) sets the period from Sept.
16, 1910, through July rs, 1947,
as the time during which they
enlisted or re-enlisted If that
term Is later than July 25, 1947.
Such persons, provided they
otherwise qualify, will be enti.
tied to the following benefits
upon their discharge:
/. One year of education or
training, plus the length of time
in war service, up to a maxi
mum of four years. Figured
from the end of their enlistment
period, they have four years In
which to enter training and nine
years in which to complete it.

cations may be made within 10

ment period.

during periods of unemployment
or while self-employed. The un-
employed get $40 per week, less
any earnings over So, while the
self.employed receive $100 per
month, less net earnings. The
period of entitlement is based on
length of war service, the vet
eran receiving eight weeks OF
allowances for each of the first
three months of war service, and
four weeks for each additional
month of war service, up to d
maximum of 50 weeks. Allow

Truman Charges
COP Tears Down
Labor Dept.

WAS HIN c. N, Aug. %
(LPA) - President T um n
C h arg d the Republican-con-
trolled Both Congress last week
with doing a hatchet job on the
Labor Dept and, in effect,
abandoning its election pledges.
Despite the COPS appropria-
tion cuts which will mean a re-
duction of one-third to one-half
in the departments payroll,
Truman said that the Labor De-
partment could not be torn up
any more than other depart
ments.
The President said he could
recite chapter and verse of the
COP 1914 platform which
promised concentration of labor
activities in the Labor Depart
ment and contended that the
New Deal had "emasculated"
the Department. Truman in
dicated he would endeavor to
rebuild the agency and that one
of the first moves would be the
transfer of the Unemployment
Compensation Service, now in
Federal Security Administra-
ton, to the Labor Department
In addition to the appropria-
ton cuts Congressional Repub-
licans approved the Taft Hartley
provision that removes the Con-
ciliation Service from the De-
partment and makes it an in
dependent unit, Labor Depart
ment officials pointed out. And
this was in the face of the COP
platform pledge that "all
government labor activities must
be placed uder the direct
authority and responsibility OF
the Secretary of Labor

is rationing the output of steel.
In each instance products are
distributed according to the
ratio of distribution before the

Congress" O'Mahoney in
sistS, will have to decide
whether the government should
wash it's hands of the dilemma,
and allow big business to decide
how the products of this coun-
try shall be distributed, or
whether we should undertake
an intelligent program of slim
ulating production, so that busi-
ness users and individual eon'
sumers will not be subject to
rationing either by government
or business"
Clark explained that the
Antitrust Division would con-
centrate on the high prices prob
lem, that President Truman last
January pointed out to the
Congress that, despite half a
century of antitrust law en-
forcement, one of the gravest
threats to our welfare lay in
the increasing concentration OF
power in the hands of a small
number of giant organizations
which can restrict production
in the interest of higher profits
and thus reduce employment
and purchasing power"
