interests provide without cost to
the United States all lands, ease
ments and rights way necessary

Landlords Lobby Cheers
As Congress Kills Rent
Controls. Vets Housing

Washington IPA) - The real
estate lobby has won it's year
long battle TO virtually destroy
federal planning and encourage
ment to BODYBUILDING for the peo-
pie who need homes at prices they
can afford.
Here is what happened in Con-
gress last week, all Of it highly
cheering and acceptable to the
landlords and the builders pres
sure groups:
RENT CONTROL: At least a
15R voluntary" rent increase and
an end Of federal eviction controls
with all controls removed next
Dec. 81, agreed to by the Senate
House conferees, with passage
certain. If President Truman We
toes this, there will be no controls
of any sort after June 81, when
the present law expires.
Said former Rent and OPA Ad-
ministrator Paul Porter to a Town
Meeting Of the Air audience in Ill
inois last week: "Dear, dead, de-
parted rent CONTROL Alas, | knew
him well. Now the Congress has
condemned to slow and tedious
death the only remaining protec-
tion of our living costs. Congress
has served as an undertaken and
Pm glad that / don't have to serve
as pallbearer as | did with the rest
of price control last fall. There is
absolutely no justification to make
this unnecessary concession to the
real estate lobby"
In New York, where 1,725,0O
families are tenants, real estate
men figure on piling S1O0,OO0,000
on to the yearly rent bills they
pay. There are 100000 families
over the country who will be direct
ly affected by the 15at raise.
VETERANS HOUSING PRO
GRAM: The same Senate House
conference committee voted an end
to all veterans housing controls,
and all restrictions on construction
except for amusement or recreation
purposes. Said conferee Glen Tay-
lor 3D., Idaho): "In the face of
the most desptrate housing short

ly for veterans and their families,

this bill wipes out the few remain
ing controls that were deemed
necessary by the Housing Expedit-
er. for the limited period of the
1g47 construction season. 1t opens
the flood gates Of construction for
commercial purposes, for which
two billion dollars in permits are
pending at the present time. 1t
makes possible construction of lux
ury apartments and mansions in
stead Of homes Of modest size with
in the veterans means to buy or
rent. 1t strikes down the guaran-
teed market program to stimulate
pre-fabricated housing and new
type materials, thus destroying a
growing nucleus of mass production
that would trun out housing in vol
ume for the volume needs of the
American people. 1t eliminates fur.
ther expenditure for access roads
to enable small lumbermen, as well
as the giant interests, to bring
desperately needed timber out of
the Government-owned lands"
Housing Expediter Frank Cree
don has estimated that 100000 out
of the 10000 houses planned for
1947 will not be built because build
ing materials will be diverted to
commercial construction.
SLUM CLEARANCE: The Fed
eral Public Housing Agency had
its funds cut from $7,2C0,OO0 as
requested by President Truman to
S2,200, 900, virtually wiping out the
governments program to finance
locally controlled low-rent housing
projects.
Reflecting almost word-for-word
the language Of the real estate OPP
ponents of housing for one-third of
the nation now living in slums, the
House Appropriations Committee
attacked the FPHA as mal-admin-
too sensitive to sugges-
tions from organized labor, and
charged that it had "almost com
pletely ignored" the section of the
Z. S. Housing Act which requires
the elimination of one slum home
for every low-rent unit built with
federal-local funds. The House
members blamed the FPHA for the
fact that "the slums have contin-
ued to develop and grow"

labor legislation"
AFL and CIO organizations and
such independent groups as Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action flooded
the White House with requests for
veto. Many of them accompanied
their appeals with analyses of the
bill which showed that it would
injure not only labor but the ma
tion's economy and invite depres-
sion.
Mass demonstrations against the
bill were held in Baltimore, New
York, and a score of other cities,
with AFL and CIO joining in many
communities with the backing of
mayors and city councils. AFL ads
in many metropolitan papers urg-
ing veto were matched by CIO ads
in Washington papers pointing out,
as did the AFL ad, the dangers
to industrial peace represented in
the Taft-Hartley bill. Typical of
many ads was one bought by the
Tri-County Joint Labor Council,
AFL and CIO. Mansfield, Ohio.
The ad, addressed to President
Truman declared, "In short, Mr..
President, the Taft-H Hartley bill is
class legislation at its worst. 1t
not only confers great advantages
on corporations whose wealth and
power are. already overwhelming,
but it also makes our own govern
ment an instrument to break down
the rights of American workers"
There were increasing indications
that Truman, who has until June
10 to veto or sign the slave labor
bill, would veto the measure. Altho
it was known that the majority of
his cabinet favored his signing it,
it was learned that Interior Secre-
tary Krug and Atty. Clark would
join Labor Secretary Schwellen-
bach in recommending veto. Follow
ing his return from Ottawa, Tru-
man was expected to meet with his
cabinet before he announces his
veto decision.
Pro-labor Congressman and labor
leaders were agreed on one thing:
Truman will veto, but whether he
will write veto message strong
enough to persuade enough border
line Senators to sustain him is the
big question.

the percentage went up to 90.9at.
March figures showed 91.3Go set
tied without work stoppages. The
percentage dropped in April to
871R."
Warren emphasized that List
ing the number of notices filed
under the Smith-Connally Act, does
not necessarily mean there are
that many strikes pending in the
L. S. These notices, commonly re-
ferred to as strike notices, are
normally just formal notice to the
Cancellation Service that a wage
agreement or contract will ex-
pire soon."
Nevertheless, labor leaders con-
tended that the sharp rise in strike
notices could not be discounted. In
an increasing number of cases,
they declared, employers were Civ
ing evidence of strike provocation
in hope that the walkout, if prop
erly publicized, would influence
Congress to override a Taft-Hart-
ley bill veto.

Labor Press Menuced
By Tdft-HdrtleY Bill
Suppression Of Press

Washington (LPA)-The Taft
Hartley bill-in addition to wreck
ing the trade union movement
could silence and suppress the
entire labor press.
That was made clear this week
by several Senators who have
asked President Truman to veto the
bill. Editor Edward Keating, of
Labor, weekly paper of the Rail
road Brotherhoods, declared that
prison sentence for violation of the
law "would be badge of honor"
Editor Len DeCaux, of the CIO
News, challenged the. American
Newspaper Publishers Assn to
throw its influence against enact
ment of the Taft-Hartley bill be-
cause it represents most serious
threat to freedom of the press"
Any labor paper in the country
could be put out of business if it
advocated the candidacy of a Sen
ator or Representative. 1t could be
prosecuted by the Justice Dept if
it even printed the voting record
of a Congressman and suggested
that his voting record was not
friendly to labor.
Sen. Warren Magnuson 3D.,
Wash.) told LPA, "The Sitting of
labor's voice by striking at the
labor press thru the Taft-Hartley
bill is among the worst features of
the entire bill. 1t was sold to some
members Of Congress under
pretext-that it equal
.,ezes' the press activities of cor
porations and labor unions. Hard
ly anything could be further from
the facts.
Congress knows" said Sen.
Magnuson, "that it has been ut
terly impossible to learn to what
extent big corporations pay the
losses of some daily newspapers;
yet this is called an 'equalizing'
meausre. Just how it is supposed
to equalize the difference between
such a corporation voice speaking
365 days a year and a weekly or
a monthly labor paper? The ques-
tion has not been answered and it
cannot be answered. The Constitu-
tional American right of free press
is placed in jeopardy by the Taft
Hartley bill. That alone is suffi
cient grounds for veto of this anti

1883 STRIKE NOTICES
PILE UP ON GOVT.

Washington (LPA)-The grow
ing "get tough" attitude among en-
ployers toward labor was reflected
last week in government figures
showing that strike notices filed
during the first five months of 1947
jumped 1850 over the number
filed during the same period last
year.
The u. S. Cancellation Service
had total of 1883 strike notices
on file on June Is. At the end of
May the total was 1906 as COM
pared with 1920 for the first five
months of 1916. The legal require
ment to file strike notices under
the wartime Smith-Connally Act
expires June 80.
Threatened by virtual extinction
by the Taft-Hartley bill, the Con-
ciliation Service disclosed an excel
lent record of settlements before
work stoppages occurred. Concilia-
tion Director Edgar Warren said
that 'In January 1947 settlements
were made in 1920 of the so-called
strike notice cases. In February
