Two Groups Oppose Bills
Restricting Ldbor's Rights

throughout the nation in order to
be successful.
"We know we face a tough fight
but not hopeless one," w. c..
flushing, chairman Of the confer
ence and also chairman Of the AFL
Legislative Committee, said.
In a brief talk to the meeting,
President Green singled out the
bill introduced by Senator Ball of
Minnesota to abolish union shop
contracts, for special attack.
"Wittingly or unwittingly, Sen
ator Ball is acting as the agent
for big corporate interests who
are out to destroy the trade union
movement" Green charged. "This
bill will not promote industrial
peace. On the contrary, it will pro-
woke discord and strife.
"Some of our unions have had
union shop agreements with en-
ployers for more than so years.
They have established collective
bargaining on a firm basis and
reached the highest level of union
management cooperation. Senator
Balls bill would cut the founda-
tions out from under them. 1t
would destroy freedom of contract.
"Let Congress remember that
loyal trade union members with a
tradition of union shop policy will
refuse. to work beside free-riders
and strike-breakers.
Senator Balls bill strips the
mask of hypocrisy from the pro-
ponents Of restrictive legislation.
In the name Of industrial peace,
they are now coming forward with
proposals which would wreck
labor-management relations per-
manently."

Sfirs Members To

Chattanooga, Tenn. (FP)-Aim-

eligible to vote in the March II
city primary, the Chattanooga Cen
trail Labor Union is engaged in an
intensive campaign to get members
to pay their 1916 poll taxes.
Deadline for eligibility was Jan.
10. The CLU has printed and dis
tributed 10000 cards on which
members may write information
for the county trustee to issue poll
tax receipts. In addition to a gen
eral CLU committee, each affili-
ated AFL local has been asked to
form poll tax committees. A booth
has been set up in the Labor Tenn
pie where union members can con-
veniently pay the 81 levy.
The county trustee reported
flood of applications for poll tax
receipts and indicated a lions
share of the credit for the unusual
response goes to the CLU.

LABOR FIGHTS
VIRGINIA PROPOSALS

Roanoke, Va. - A request from
Governor William M. Tuck that
the Virginia Advisory Legislative
Council prepare bills to bar strikes
in public utilities and outlaw the
closed shop throughout the state
met vigorous AFL opposition
here.
Tuck, who won national publi-
city in breaking a recent power
strike by inducing strikers into
the state guard, asked the coun-
Gil to have the legislation ready for
special session of the Virginia
General Assembly.
International Rep. Joseph c..
Mcintosh of the international
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
sounded the strongest objection to
the Tuck proposals. He declared
that they were unnecessary and he
questioned the good faith of the
governor.
Business Agent Silas Switzer of
the Textile Workers U2ion at
Roanoke, termed the proposals
contrary to American principles.

ties, having little real power to
shape the new society, tend to con-
centrate on their theological con-
flicts.
"But, above all, the presence
of several occupation powers, rep
resenting different social and ideo-
logical systems, has made Ger
many battle-ground of their con-
flicting interests. Perhaps nowhere
in Europe are the people today
more acutely aware of these con-
flicts than in Berlin, where the
representatives of the different
systems meet and clash. But even
down to the smallest village, every
German who takes any interest at
all in public life knows that the
problems of his community depend
for their decision on the outcome
of the competition among the three
systems.
"Hence the recent elections were
primarily contest between West
ern democracy on the one side and
Eastern democracy on the other.
They resulted in an overwhelming
victory for the Western n-oriented
parties, indisputable in Berlin and
the Western zones, but clearly dis
cernible even in the Russian
zone.
Perhaps the clearest lesson of
the elections is that the German
people, freed from one form of
dictatorship, have no desire to ex-
change it for another. This atti-
tude is not without its implications
for the occupying powers since,
particularly in the Berlin elections,
the word freedom acquired dis
tinct anti-Russian sound. Hence
the elections would seem to indi-
cate that the Russians have little
prospect Of winning the whole of
Germany politically, as they had
once hoped"

Vets Win Back
Subsistence Pay

New York (FP) = Seven ex-
GIs at the Hollywood Footwear
Corp. here have started the New
Year by sharing $4,000 in retro
active trainee subsistence pay, won
for them by the New York Vet
Grams Bureau. Members of the
United Shoe Workers, each of the
vets received more than $400 in re-
troactive pay.
The payment was made after
Director Charles Klare of the
bureau successfully argued that
veterans should be given subsis-
tance pay retroactively to the day
they actually started training. Pre-
viously state authorities had in
sisted that VA payments started
after approval of the GI's applica-
ton. In many cases, because of
unreasonable delay and red tape,
this meant approval came only
after the vet had already spent
several months in actual training.
The retroactive pay brought to
more than $4,000 the total back
pay won by on-the-job trainees as
a result of negotiations between
the Veterans Bureau and the state
Department of Labor. The victory
also succeeded in speeding the en-
tire process of approving veterans
applications for apprenticeships
and job-training under the CT bill
Of rights.

Press vifoI For

Tells News Guild

New York (FP) = Gan active
press can mean more for peace
than all the diplomats of all the

told 5000 people who jammed the
grand ballroom of the Waldorf
Astoria for the Newspaper Guilo
annual Page One ball.
Sandwiched between guest stars
from Hollywood, Broadway and
the radio who provided entertain
ment from 9 p. m. to well after
midnight, Wallace injected a ser
ious note as he thanked the guild
for honoring him with one Of its
2S Page One awards.
"The supreme freedom is the
freedom of the people to know the
TRUTH" Wallace said, "Today in
the U. S. the people have that free
dom but they are not exercising
it because they have not cared
enough for liberal commentators
liberal columnists and liberal
newspapers to support them vigor-
ously. A half-used freedom cam
not be stored away indefinitely"
He urged the guild to continue
to fight for adequate wages, job
security, a fair attitude toward
management, freedom of the press
"and, above all, the freedom of the
public to know the truth"
