Use Your Votes Against Enemy, Green nBidsLabor
AFL Head Lays Down Labor's 1948 Platform
 In Chicago

William Green, pres ident of the American Federation of Labor, sounded call here La bor day to all working men and women and their friends to defeat in next years elections Federal and State Legislators who have SUD- ported ''new wave of hostile, anti labor legislation.''
 The appeal was in a Labor Day speech to 125,0O0 persons in Soldiers Field.
 To make the objective possible, he said, i've will seek to establish holi- day on election day."
 He singled out the Taft-Hartley Law as "the most offensive and most reprehensible law ever enacted against the nations workers"
 As the American people come more fully to understand ''the evil provisions of the Taft-Hartley Law. he told the cheering throng, "a ti- dal wave of opposition will roll up against it and crash down upon the heads of its sponsors and support. CTS on election day, next year.''
 For Ballots, Not Strikes
 "The task of organized labor in the months ahead" he declared, Twill not be to rouse the spirit of retaliation among the membership, but to keep the spontaneous surge of that spirit within disciplined bounds.
 'sFOr our own good and the well fare of our country we must keep production going at full blast and the wheels of industry moving without serious interruption.
 We must fight our enemies, not with il1-considered strikes, but with ballots, in the peaceful, democratic way."1
 He laid down a labor Platform for 1948," consisting of five measures for human .betterment" which, he said, Congress has consistently de- feated or ignored in the past few years"
 These were,
 First, action to reduce s'exorbi. tant prices" and ''bring the cost of living gradually down to a more reasonable level," with the crush. ing of ''price-fixing monopolies' and the halting of imitation.
 Second, .''sound measures to maintain full year-'ropnd employ. ment, at wages commensurate with decent American standards of liv. ing.'
 Third, enactment of a ''broad housing program"
 Fourth, increase in the presen, minimum wage of 40 cents an hour, Gan economic blight upon our nation.o
 Fifth, strengthen and improve our social security laws" with the inclusion of "a sound system of health insurance"

Slave Labor Law Starts To Show
 Its Real Claws
3 AFL Unions In N. Y. Face Election After Calling
 Strike

NEW YORK (FP) = The sharp edges of the Hartley law poked through in earnest here this week when two legal union-busting moves were filed with the NLRB.
 The first was filed by the Hans com Baking Co.,, which capped the 11-week strike it has forced upon three AFL local unions by demanding three elections to determine whether its em- ployes still want to be represented by those unions.
 The strike, called by Local 50, Bakery X Confectionery Workers Intl. Union, Local 56, Intl. Bro. of Bremen & Oilers, and Local BOP. Intl. Bro. of Teamsters, came after the management had fiatly refused to negotiate a new contract or to grant wage increases of 15G an hour.
 Although the tieup has had the sup port of other AFL unions, the com pany has succeeded in reopening sev- eral of its shut shops by employing some 150 scabs.
 The company contends that un. der the Taft-Hartley law the strikers have lost their jobs, that the scabs are the only ones who can vote, and that even if the strikers could vote they, would be barred because their officers have not yet signed the non. Communist affidavits and other forms required by the law.
 These contentious are opposed by the unions, which are considering hl- ing unfair labor practice charges or grounds that Hanscom's refused tc bargain in good faith because of de pendence on the Taft-Hartley act The decision lies with the NLRB.
 The second case filed was a peti- tion by 10 timekeepers and checkers at the Federal Shipbuilding & Dry dock Co. of Kearny, N. J., where the Industrial Union of Marine & Ship building Workers has been on strike for II weeks. The timekeepers asked that IUMSWA Local 16 be dis qualified as representative of craft group of 25 timekeepers, weld coun- fters, piecework checkers and senior clerks in the yard.
 The new law orders the NLRB to give precedence to craft groups wher- ever they desire 1t.

Political Program
 MT. Meany's blast at the COP raises a policy question for con- sideration by the AFL Executive Council at its forthcoming meeting in Chicago on Sept. 8th. The Coun- cil is expected to prepare a pro- gram of political action for the AFL during the coming election year. Any plan adopted by the Executive Council will be submitted to the AFL convention to be held in San Francisco in October.
 In support of his charge against the Republican leadership in Congress, MT. Meany offered ample evidence. He declared that the Republican Ma tiona1 Committee endorsed the Hartley Bill, which was even more drastic than the final Taft-Hart1ey law.
 ''The COP inserted in the official of the Republican Ma tional Committee full page propa- ganda appeal for the Hartley Bill and had the audacity to offer free mats to any business organization which cared to publish it as news paper advertisement. That was par with a vengeance"
 Turning to other national problems, MT. Meany declared the inaction of the GOP-led Congress is another in dication of the source of its inspiration and guidance.
 ''Rent Control''
 Congress did not lift finger to halt the advancing tide of prices. It even encouraged higher living costs by adopting new rent control bill which is bound to force rents up by IS percent in many parts of the coun- try"
 The housing shortage offers anoth- CT example of how the Republican leaders in Congress have disregarded the popular will whenever it conflicts with the demands of property inter ests, MT. Meany said.
 Housing
 "There was a bill before the 80th Congress, the Wagner-Ellender- Taft bill, which would have encouraged the construction of Is million new homes in the next IS years. This was action the nation badly needed, espe- cially the veterans. Yet, although Senator Taft, the real leader of the Congress, lent his name to the bill, he didn't lift finger to ad- vance its passage. Perhaps it is only a coincidence that the powerful real

Even Wall St.. Can't Stomach
 Fred Hartley
Journal Assails> His Threats Against Labor And
 Management

Hardly day goes by but Con- gressr1an Fred A. Hartley (Rep., N. J.) brandishes threat against employers and unions who try to settle their differences without resorting to the intricacies of the Taft-Hartley law.
 Last week he talked dark1y about an investigation of the practice. This week, he gave further speeches along the same line, probably at a fancy fee. He announced he would "drag" the offending" employers and union leaders into Washington for question ing.
 His tirades have been too much for even some of the country's conserva- tive papers.
 The "Wall Street Journal" mouth piece of finance and industry, gave Hartley the most severe spanking he has received up to date.
 Hartley's Claims Riddled
 In front page article, the paper pointed out that the agreements which annoyed Hartley are mutually acceptable comprises" whereby un4 ions assume full responsibility for acts authorized by them and employ CTS agree not to seek damages for acts of individual employees (which are beyond union control"
 Then in bold face type, it rapped Hartley's contention that such agree ments violate the new law and his threat to call in the parties to Wash ington to explain"
 "This is idle talk" the paper de- c1ared. Tt cannot have been the in tent of Congress to punish men or organizations for acts they neither au- thorized nor instigated, much less those which they have in good faith attempted to prevent.
 Can't Compel Use of Law
 Tt is inconceivab1e that the courts would find illegal the give-and-take efforts of employers and unions to maintain peace in industry.
 "Not even the Taft-Hartley law can compel an employer to resort to the legal remedies open to him if he thinks he sees a more pacific way of protecting his interests"
 Another indictment of Hartley came from the Washington "Post" owned by mu1ti-milioniare banker.
 "Abusive language and threats of this kind are calculated to stiffen opposition to the law by strengthening the conviction of labor leaders that it was framed with the deliberate intention of undermining unions," the paper pointed out.

Toledo AFL Offers To Lick Taft At Polls

TOLEDO OPA)-Ohio's Repub- lican presidential hopeful, Robert A.. Taft, heads for a California speaking tour next week. As a fitting fare well, the Toledo Central Labor Union bought an ad in the daily Toledo Times, promising Ohio's native son the worst defeat any candidate ever had"
 No immediate action was taken by the U. s. district attorney in the area, though the ad was paid for in defiance of the Taft-Hart1ey law.

Can't Do This To Building Trades

WASHINGTON = (FP) = Po- licemen were yanked off a temporary job of enlarging the police cell block at the Municipal Bldg. here last week after AFL building trades unions pro- tested the use of cops as carpenters, bricklayers, and p1asterers.
 Working on police time. six cops were doing the construction work un- der orders from their superiors when the matter came to the unions atten- tion. District Commissioner J. Rus sell Young assured the unions that he did not know the b1uecoats were to be used on the District job when he ap- proved police plans for the ce11-bui1d- ing work.

The ssBig Three" meat packing companies-Swift, Armour and Cudahy-announce in Sioux City they would challenge federal in- dictment charging them with viola ton of the antitrust laws. Their bone. of contention is that there were no women on the jury that returned the indictment. Industry's most prominent advocate of the dog-eat-dog theory, the packers figure that housewives have had to take SO much high-priced baloney during the past six years they'll be easily cowed by a lot of legalistic bull.

 Railing the present government investigation into prices, News week magazine last week came up with a new angle. According to Newsweek: elf the investigation went far enough it would probably discover an interesting culprit: 40, ,OOO,OOO Americans with bigger incomes and reckless determination to get their share of the available goods"
 Perhaps Newsweek is disturbed that the investigation will center about facts like these:
 The income of 4O2 major com panies having common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the first half of l947 is up 97.9% over their income for the first half of I946.
 Profits among this group are up l55.3% in iron, steel and coke {; l39.9% for leather and shoe manu- lecturers; 72.4% for petroleum companies and 58.5%o for textile firms
 Profits for the first quarter of l947, according to Federal Reserve figures, are at the rate of $17 bill lion for the year-a whopping $5 billion over the l946 record.
 The government ought to come up with few interesting culprits' g in the groups cited above.
