John Gibson Urges
Repeal OF tn Act

Milwaukee, Wisconsin The
Taft Hartley Act was critized and
its repeal proposed by Acting Sec
retary of Labor John w. Gibson
before the 4th Constitutional Con-
vention of the United Gas, Coke and
Chemical Workers of America. He
said the Law ignores the human
and economic considerations that
cause strikes, which will never be
prevented except by free collective
bargaining and justice.
Gibson said the act, reduced to
a shambles the National Labor Re-
lations Act of 1885, under which
unionism was revived and member
ship has grown to 51a millions. He
said the act nullified some of the
safeguards afforded workers by the
Norris-LaG Guardia Act of 1882, an
act which outlawed yellow-dog con-
tracts and prohibited the irrespon-
sible use of injunction in labor dis
putes, a favorite strike-breaking
device since 1906.
Gibson also asserted that the
Taft Hartley Act fact finding pro,
cedures set up actually delay OF
prevent settlements because the
panels cannot make a recommen-
dation but only report on the facts,
81 am convinced that the Taft
Hartley law was actually respon-
Isible for many Of the strikes that
occurred last year and that the fig
ure would have been lower than
6.5 per cent if the law had not been
enacted" he said.
Gibson deplored the removal of
the u. S. Cancellation Service from
the Labor Department, after "a
years of successful operation. He
said that mediation and concilia-
tion of labor disputes is a func-
ton of the Department of Labor
and belongs in that Department
under any sound plan of Govern
ment.
In addition to repeal of the Taft
Hartley Act, Gibson suggested the
following: /. Strengthen the Labor
Department and consolidate under
its responsibilities all phases of
those governmental functions hav-
ing to do with labor management
employment, manpower
and the welfare of the wage-earn-
ers. 2. Enact immediate initiation
controls and restore the balance be-
tween wages and prices. AS of to-
days prices, the cost of initiation
to the American consumer is $40
billion a year more than it was 2
years ago. That is an increase of
about 30 per cent. 3. Raise the
minimum wage under the Fair La
Dor Standards Act to at least rs
cents an hour and increase the COW
erage of the act to include millions
Of persons not now covered. 4. In
crease the coverage of the Social
Security Act to 20 million persons
who are not now. protected and
raise the amount of benefits, in
unemployment compensa-
ton, old age assistance, and sur
vivorS insurance. 5. Enact legisla-
tion making it possible for the De-
partment of Labor to carry out a
program of labor education.
Gibson also mentioned the need
for low-cost housing for wage
earners in the lower income brac-
kets, a national health program,
laws to prevent unfair discrimina-
ton in employment and adequate
appropriation to conduct a direct
program and a State-aid program

Realty Board Cancels
Brokers' License Ban

Revocation of the brokers' license
of Mitchell Quick, 2400 block OF
Pennsylvania avenue NV, was cam
celed by the District Real Estate
Commission late yesterday in CON-
pliance with District Court de-
cision overruling the commission
earlier action.
Mr.. Quicks license, however, was
suspended by the commission Tor
80 days on court recommendation.
The commission had revoked the
brokers' license last November 20
on charges of fraudulent and dis
honest dealings" in the sale of a
dwelling to two veterans. 1t was
alleged that Mr.. Quick arranged the
sale of the house at GA Nineteenth
street NV. to the men for $3.50
more than the Veterans AdminiS-
tration's appraisal of the dwelling.
The commission decision was ap-
pealed the following day in District
Court by Mr.. Quick on grounds that
testimony did not justify the con-
clusions. District Court overruled
the commissions decision Wednes-
day and directed the 90-day sus-
pension instead.
Investigators for the commission
said this was the first case the
courts ever reversed against the
commission.

UAW Asks Increase
OF at Least Is Gents,
Doubling Ford Offer
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, June 25-The CLIO
United Auto Workers countered the
Ford Motor Co.'S offer of an 11-14-
cent hourly wage increase with re-
vised demands Of its own today, to-
falling twice that much.
A UAW spokesman said the de-
mands would cost Ford at least an
additional % cents an hour.
The union demand includes:
/. A fiat 14-cent-an-hour pay
raise.
2 A company-fnanced hospitali-
zation, health and medical care pro-
gram equal to another 8 cents an
hour.
3. Elimination of what the union
called "differentials in economic
standards between Ford and its
competitors" This would include
higher night differential pay, more
vacation pay, elimination of so
called merit spreads" more call-in
pay and other fringe benefits, add
ing up to cents an hour.
14-Cent Raise Offered.
Earlier this week Ford offered
14-cent raise to all of its 10000
employees making more than the
average 81 so an hour and II cents
to those making less.
At that time, the company re-
peated its argument that Ford's
wage rates were higher than those
of its competitors when the third
postwar wage drive started last
spring.
The JAWS original demands in
ctuded a 30-cent hourly wage in
crease and numerous other con-
cessions.
The unions new proposal was
handed to John S. Bugas, Ford vice
president and director of industrial
relations, who made no comment.
Prepared to Strike.
1t said:
The Ford workers, as demon
strated by this offer. are willing to
sacrifice for the national and COM
munity welfare, but they are not
willing to yield to stubborn COM
pany position that would work real
and continued hardship and de-
privation on their wives and chill
dren."
To prevent that" the statement
added, they are prepared to ex-
ercise their constitutional, demo-
cratic right to strike"

Ihey never come paCk! by
capturing the Republican presiden-
tial nomination for a second time
Thomas E. Dewey has forever laid
to rest the political equivalent OF
that saying popular since the days
when James j. Jeffries, 1.-The white
hope" came out of retirement to
fight Jack johnson at Carson City,
New.
The political equivalent was: "The
Republican Party has never renom-
mated candidate who lost" 1t
didn't have to before Franklin D.
Roosevelt shifted the balance OF
power. In its century of ex-
istence, the Republican Party usual
ly won.
Gov. Dewey has always come
back He lost his first campaign
for Governor of New York by about
per cent of the total vote cast
he won the next time. He lost
MS first campaign for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination in
1910 after leading in the first bal
lot In 1914 he captured the NOM
ination hands down. He lost his
first campaign for the presidency
in that year. This year he is going
to have his second try.
Gov. Dewey was not opposing the
champ on his second try in either
instance. Gov. Herbert H. Leh-
man, who was Governor of New
York for the longest period and
with the greatest pluralities in his
tory before Dewey, had retired
when Mr. Dewey ran for the second
time and the death Of President
Roosevelt gives him his next op-
ponent.
Senator Martins shift from Penn
sylvania's favorite son to become
the nominator of Gov. Dewey robbed
the balloting of dramatic suspense.
The result then seemed as certain
as when William S. Ware arrived at
the Kansas City Convention In 1928
and announced Pennsylvania would
plump for Hoover. But Gov. Dewey
gave the political audience thrill
before the convention. He not only
came back from his 1914 defeat, he
got back on bis feet last month after
being almost counted out in the
spring primaries.
The debate with Harold Stassen
on May II in the acoustically draped
studio of Station KEX, Portland,
Greg, will hardly rate with the
Lincoln Douglas debates but it was
the closest thing to them in recent
political history.
No Loyalty to Pollsters.
Gov. Dewey was beaten man
wage his candidacy He had been
kept a favorite in the winter books
by the popularity poll. He was still
the titular leader of the party, But
there is no loyalty to the pollsters,
They, too, think they are picking a
winner. After the fiascos of the Wis
consin and Nebraska primaries in
which Gov. Dewey was given a
single delegate, the polls suddenly
gave Mr.. Stassen long lead.
And that wasn't all. Gov. Dewey
had reason to feel that the Repub-
lican Party would have to nominate
him again as the man who would
be sure to carry New York. In
1916 he had been reelected by
687 ,00O-an all-time record. But
the detection of Henry A. Wallace
from the Democratic Party and
the victory of his candidate, Leo
Isacson. in a by-election in mid
winter in the Bronx. changed all
that. If the Democrats were going
to lose their Jewish followers in
New York over the Palestine issue,
any Republican could carry New
York State.
