The United States Chamber of

fully to its masters voice.
Congress wound up seven
months of hard work with a

said Business Action, weekly

together with the NAM was one
of the most influential forces in
shaping the Taft-Hartley Act and
lobbying it through Congress.
"The first session Of the 80th

claimed happily. That voice
must also be heard as members

Press Gao
Repeal Is
Demanded

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6
| IGPA) - Demands for re-
vision of the Taft-Hartley
law to eliminate or at least
clarity the press gag on po-
litical expression increased last
week among Congressman and
daily newspapers that have
finally come to see more than
an implicit threat to freedom
of the press in the new restric-
ton.
Following the lead of SEN
ators Aiken r., Vt) and Hatch
3D., N. Mex. Rep. Kenneth B.
Heating (R., N. " introduced
an amendment which he de-
clared would show Congress
intent mot to interfere or a.
bridge in any way the free pub
lication of an expression of po-
litical views either by corpora
tions or labor organizations. ("
Would Defend Press
In letter to The Labor News,
AFL paper in Keating's home
town of Rochester, the upstate
Republican defended his sup
port of the Taft-Hartley law
but declared, IF, however, a
legitimate labor newspaper dis
agrees l shall defend to the
limit its right to publish any
fair comment in oposition. AS
a lawyer, would welcome the
opportunity to defend The La
Dor News without compensation
against any charge that its pub
lication of a truthful attack on
me or other members of Con-
gresS who voted for the bill vio-
lates the law"
Also in Keating's home town,
the Rochester Democrat &
Chronicle joined in the criti-
cism. "Any application of the
law which would prohibit any,
one, union, corporation or indi-
vidual from writing and pub
fishing freely views on candi-
dates or on any other question
would be a direct violation of
the constitutional prohibition
against Congress abridging the
right of free speech or a free
press" said the paper.
A score of other papers agreed
with the New York Herald
Tribune'S statement that "As
this section reads it would seem
to forbid either the general
press, corporate owned, or the
labor press from expenditure on
ink paper, type or editorial tall
ent to influence the election of
federal officers or their choice
as candidates in primaries, con-
ventions or caucuSes.

the objective of the Executive
Council of the AFL to prevent
the members of organized labor
from effectuating their keen de-
sire to establish immediate
unity to defeat the drive
of reaction on both economic
and political fronts. Your re-
fusal to discuss this vital sub
ject while insisting upon long
drawn out negotiations with
reference to organizational unity
must be viewed with alarm by
all who appreciate the dangers
which presently confront labor
and the nation.
ut is undoubtedly this under
standing which is presently
prompting increasing numbers
among the ranks of labor within
the AFL and CIO to arrive at
mutual agreements eliminating
or conflict and provid-
ing for joint action against our
common enemies"
The CIO leader concluded by
assuring Green that the CIO
unity committee will continue
to hold itself in readiness at all
times to meet with the commit
tee representing the AFL, when
you feel that such meeting and
discussion will be open to a full
consideration of our immediate
problems as we'll as the objec-

Senator Taft
A Liability
Says KroII

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6
.nPA)-CIO PAC Director
Jack Kroll predicted here
last week that if Sen. Rob-
ert Taft (R., Ohio wins the
COP presidential nomination
'he will prove as great liabil-
ity as the party ever shouldered
and that he will not even carry
his home state of Ohio"
Krolls statement followed the
official launching of Taft's presi-
dental boom in Columbus,
Ohio, where Taft declared that
President Truman SIS still dom
mated by the principles of the
CIO."
Labor's chief Congressional
enemy told a rally of 1900 Re-
publicans at Columbus that he
would make a definite decision
on whether to run by Oct. 3
when he concludes a western
speaking tour.
Looking At Record
Kroll said that PAC "is now
engaged in sitting out the ne
farious record of Sen. Taft as
chairman of the Republican
policy committee of the Both
Congress, PAC is particularly
interested in the investigation
into the present high cost of
living to be conducted by SUBJ
committees of the Joint Com
mittee on the Presidents Eco
nomic Report of which Sen.
Taft is also chairman.
"We cannot forget" Kroll
continued, "his generalship of
the fight against the OPA,
which he now seeks to disclaim,
and the resulting increase in
prices which has swollen the
Golfers of the corporations at
the expense of millions of
American consumers.
I'VE cannot forget his state
ment on July /, l946, during
the course of his fight, in which
he predicted: The Presidents
figures on possible increases are
a wild guess and for the most
part dead wrong Today the
price increase figures are the
daily nightmare of the Ameri-
can housewife and she knows
who was wrong,
Nor can we forget his more
recent cynical statement, You
can buy meat if you can pay
for 1t.

Unions Prep
For Taft Law


While all of organized la
Dor was preparing to con-
front the full impact of the
Taft-Hartley law on August
%. anti-labor Congressman and
big business spokesmen last
week predicted that new and
more restrictive labor laws-or
a "toughening up" of the pres
ent law-can be expected when
the Republican Congress recon
venes in January.
Rep. Fred Hartley (R., N. j.,
who had already announced he
would seek to have his cher
ished ban on industry-wide
bargaining written into law
next session, was echoed by the
New York Journal of Com
merce, big business daily, which
declared, ANY change in the
act during the next year or two
Is likely to be in the direction
of more restrictions on labor
unions"
Throughout the country both
MANAGEMENT and union groups
were holding seminars and con-
ferences on what their rights
and responsibilities will be after
August % when many of the
most important provisions of
the law 60 into effect.
Study New Methods
In New York, a Taft Hartley
seminar sponsored by the Com
merce e. Industry Assn, was
advised on how to deal with
union demands for abolition OF
mo strike clauses and the in
clusion of willing and able to
work" provisions such as the
United Mine Workers-AFL OBJ
tanned in their contract.
In Chicago, a meeting of the
National Association of Person
mel Directors was TO discuss
Ignorance of the Taft Hartley
Law and It's Consequences.
Meanwhile, labor was con-
centrsting on how it will adjust
itself to or challenge provisions
of the Taft-Hartley law that be-
come effective on Aug. %:
Unions Expect Firings
Union leaders expect many
employers to take advantage of
the provision permitting an en-
ployer TO fire for cause" with
out any assurance as there was
under old NLRB rules that the
firing was really for cause and
not for union activity.
Still another 3asis for appre-
hension on. thz part of labor is
the way in which another Sec
tlcd of the law would facilitate
the shattering of large indus
trial collective bargaining
groups into dozens of small
craft units If the latter demand
il.
Employers who would prefer
TO deal with small and relatively
weak union groups instead of
strong, company-wide or indus
try-wide unions can be expected
to encourage independent and
splinter unions, thus gradually
cutting into the numerical
strength and bargaining power
of the present large international
unions, according to labor law
yers.

Germans Flock
TO Jobs Paying
Wages in Food
Ap Nawsfeatures


HAMBURG Farm work is the
most popular occupation among
the German population OF
the British zone. a report by the
British Control Commissions man
power branch discloses.
There are now ESQ workers in ag-
riculture for every 100 employed in
1888, the report says.
One of the reasons, the report de-
clared, was that agricultural work
ers received part of their wages in
food--an important factor in hum
CRY Germany.
The report notes a general ten
dency for workers not to seek jobs
making the best use of their skill
unless the wages are paid partly
in food, clothing or marketable
goods.
Unemployment Is at its lowest
since the occupation began, but the
report adds: at would, however, be
wrong to assume that these figures
are a true reflection of the state OF
the German economy. Low unem-
ployment figures are generally an
indication that country's industry
is working at top pressure and this
is clearly not the case insGermany
today"

RAT CONTROL

This is the third in a series of
articles on the rat control CAM
paign sponsored by the Delaware
Extension Service.
Since this program has conceded
with President Truman's request to
Waste Less" it is fitting and proer
to attack and kill the rat.
Remember this date, NOVEM-
BER 11th as Bait Day. On this day
we hope all the people of Delaware
-on the farm, in the towns, and in
the cities will make every effort to
exterminate rats.
Briefly the previous news articles
have discussed these points: (D
The cost of keeping rats (2) Rat
habits CD Three ways to control
rats: (a) Keep trash cleaned up, (b)
Rat-proof buildings, (c) Bats and
batting, (4) Some different poisons
that may be used: Antu, Red Squill,
Zinc Phosphide (5) Pre-baiting.
This weeks article will discuss
the selection of foods to mix with
rat poisons and bait placement.
Rats usually prefer foods differ
ent from those they are normally
eating; fresh foods rather than cam
ned; moist foods rather than dry.
i Here is list of foods which may be
used as bats: ID Meats: fresh
hamburger, ground bacon, sausage,
chicken entrials, liver, canned meat,
| dried dog food, meat scraps (2)
Fish: fresh ground or sliced fish,
canned fish, cat food, (3) Grains:
/ chicken mash, rolled oats, corn
meal, ground wheat ca Fruits: ap-
ples, ripe tomatoes, oranges, bana-
mas, eantaloupe, watermelon (5)
Vegetables: raw sweet potatoes
raw carrots, green corn, lettuce (6)
Miscellaneous: ground cake, bread
crumbs, peanut butter, dried milk
powder.
The best time to place bats Ia
late in the day so this bait will be
fresh when the rats start feeding.
If the bats are moist they should
! be about half the size of walnut
j If dry use level teaspoonful. II
!, the bait is sliced, use pieces about
! inch square.
A large number of small bats is
] better than few large ones. The
number needed depends on the
number of rats ON the premises.
!, Rats have definite runways Oh
: trails which can be detected by
droppings, footprints, holes ant
marks left by gnawing. Place your
bats in known runways. The poi
soned food may be put in the bur
. rows but they are not usually TAX
: en- as we'll in such locations.
Bats should be placed where the!
. cannot be reached except by th'
rats. They may be placed behint
: boxes, barrels, or other objects, o.
behind long boards leaned agains
, wall. A good idea is to take alonl
| a pad and pencil to record wher'
these bats have been placed AM
then to collect these bats a day o
{ two after.
Remember, TUESDAY, NOVEM
BER 11th is BAIT DAY!
