Unions Hdil
Jewish State

New York (LPA) - Organized
labor last week hailed the establish
ment to the new state of Israel and
demanded the lifting of the arms
embargo to permit the Jewish mill
tia to defend itself in battle with
Arab invaders.
At rally sponsored by the Natl
Committee for Labor Palestine,
Jacob Potofsky, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
said that several units of the union
were prepared to purchase arms
for the Jewish militia if such ac-
ton is legalized.
William Collins of the n. Y. Fed
Grafton of Labor read telegram
from AFL President William Green
which said that the United Ma
tions is under obligation to support
the partition of Palestine to which
it had agreed.
"I strongly urge that full meas
ure of support be extended to the
Jewish people in Palestine. They
should be supplied with arms and
fighting equipment in full meas
ure," Green's message said.
CIO Organization Director AL
Ian Haywood delivered President
Philip Murray's declaration that
"the Jewish state will offer home
to the homeless-to the most per-
secuted group of the weary men
and women, salvaged from the Hit
Ter determination camps"
The meeting unanimously prais-
ed the role of Histadrut, the Jew
ish labor federation, in creating the
Palestinian community. 1t congrat-
ulated President Truman on his
prompt recognition of Israel, and
called for a lifting of the embargo
on arms shipments to the new
state.
Over the signature of it's chair
man, Adolph Held, and it's treasur-
er, David Dubinsky, presid ut of
the Int'l Ladies Garment Workers
Union-AFL, the Jewish Labor Com
mittee congratulated the veteran
Zionist leader, Dr. Chain Weizmann
on his election as president of Is
rael. "No man living has contri-
buted so much towards its creation
as you," they told the universally
respected Jewish statesman.

New York (LPA) - More than
200 delegates to the 36th annual

"The most drastic wave of re-

PACKINGHOUSE STRIKE
VIOLENCE BRINGS OUT
NATIONAL GUARD UNITS

Minneapolis (LPA)- Minnesota
National Guardsmen, from infan-
try to tanks, were ordered last week
to restore order to the strike bound
Swift plant in South st. Paul, and
the Cudahy plant at Newport. Gov.
Luther Youngdahl issued the order
calling out the state troopers after
employer attempts to operate their
plants during strike by the United
Packinghouse Workers precipitated
clashes between strikers and scabs.
Officials of the UPW denied that
the union had any part in the vio-
lence which occurred. President
Ralph Helstein rushed to Minnesota
to confer with Gov. Youngdahl on
measures for maintaining order,
and the Governor told reporters
after a conversation with Helstein
that he was hopeful that no more
incidents would occur.
District 2 of UPW said: "The
Packinghouse Workers are fighting
for their jobs and for their fami-
lies with the only means available.
There is no need for the National
Guard. The union neither desires
nor will it institute violence on the
picket line, but we will not stand
idly by and see our strike smashed
our union wrecked and our work
ing conditions set back 100 years"
Altho the troops will police the
areas around the two plants, mar
tial law has not been proclaimed,
and the guards will be under the
orders of the local sheriff.
Strikers on May 13 entered the
Cudahy plant, released 40 pigs
which were awaiting slaughter by
scab workers imported from Wis
consin, and drove out the main
tenance crew which was sleeping
in the plant.
For two days last week pickets
at the Swift plant prevented police
from escorting imported scabs and
discouraged employees thru the pic
ket lines. They resisted an injunc-
tion limiting the number of pickets
to 10.
Meanwhile, a Georgia court last
week sentenced II strikers to brief
Jail sentences or barring non-strik-
ers from another Swift establish
ment.
In Atlanta, UPW called out
workers from a number of inde-
pendent packinghouses not hitherto
involved in the strike. The union
believes that some Of the indepen-
dents have been slaughtering for
the "big four" against whom the
strike is principally directed.
Failing in their "back-to-work" "
campaign in the nations main meat
center-Chicago-employers have
been recruiting professional armed
thugs as strike breakers.
Armour & Co., which has con-
sistently refused to bargain with
UPW since the report Of Presi-
dental fact finding committee
agreed that the union was justi-
fled in asking for more than the
&c raise the packers offered, said
last week: "We regard the strike
as settled because the men are
coming back to work in ever in
creasing numbers"
To this claim UPW President
Helstein replied: "This is of the
same character as previous com
pany statements, which are not in
tended to give the facts but are
merely attempts at strike break
ing"

ed initially in Whitman, Spokane,
Adams, Garfield, Asotin and Lin
coin counties, has been or is now
being completed, and there may
be a new barberry growth from
seeds or small plants, especially
in Whitman and Spokane counties
where the first eradication work
was begun. This re-growth could
now have attained size and suf-
ficient foliage so that small guam
titles of stem rust might develop.
Stem rust may also originate on
barberry in bordering or more
wesern counties and from wind
borne spores coming from Idaho
and northeastern Oregon. The
pathoiogists add that while there
is always a possibility of local or
regional outbreaks of stem rust
because of these factors it would
appear now that there is good
chance of avoiding significant crop
loss this year from the disease.
They concluded that, if barberry
had remained in eastern Washing
ton in the quantities such as there
were in 1943 and previously, it is
likely that disastrous stem rust
epidemic might have occurred be-
cause of the late, wet season has
been particularly favorable to the
development of all diseases includ-
ing principally leaf rust, mildew,
root rot and some others, espec-
tally in down" spots, or rank and
late fields.

Wheat Rust In Eastern Washington
Is Not Type Causing Previous Loss

nate host plant, the common bar
berry bush.
Leaf rust usually damages only
the leaves and leaf sheaths, where
as stem rust will attack all above
yround portions Of the grain plant.
Both rusts are similarly orange to
red in appearance. Leaf rust is
sometimes mistakenly called red
rust and stem rust called black
rust, but the fact is that both trusts
are reddish during the growing
season and both turn black about
harvest time.
Stem rust, which caused large
losses in 1887, 1888, 1941, 1912 and
1913 is at present not widely pre-
valent. In fact, the State college
pathologists report, of the hum
dreds of grain fields examined by
their field men since late May,
their first report of stem rust in
lection was received only a few
days ago and this was a mild case
detected only in one field. That
field was near an area where
hundreds of barberry were re-
moved in 1945 and where there
may be some infected re-growth
in the vicinity, they said.
Current low incidence of stem
rust does not mean that there may
not be a late development of the
disease, especially considering
this years favorable weather and
crop conditions, they add. Erad-

Farmers expressing concern over
the large amount of rust develop
ing in Easter Washington grain
fields are advised by Frank Web
ster. Benton county extension
agent, that the prevalent rust is
leaf rust and not stem rust, which
caused so much damage a few
years ago.
Pathologists at Washington State
college report that ordinarily stem
rust causes more damage than leaf
rust but that leaf rust is quite Sc
we're this year.
Because of barberry eradication
stem rust is not a factor in wheat
production this year. Leaf rust
has been moderately severe in
MANY areas on winter wheat, but
the spring wheat crop has been
found severely affected in num-
her of areas where spring wheat
is commonly grown. In some fields
as much as rs percent of the leaf
surface was found covered with
rust. Under such conditions it is
expected that considerable light
grain will be produced. ...-.
Webster advised that there is no
practical control for leaf rust other
than the growing Of resistant grain
varieties, and only few varieties
in the Pacific Northwest are mild
ly resistent. Leaf rust has no al
ternate host plant, where control
of stem rust can be obtained

Prompt Refunds
Save $1,000 !.

Almost $1,000 was saved the
United States government by
prompt refunding of withholding
tax to employees. The saving
was in interest payments saved.
The number of employers who
withhold from employees has
grown from 1858 in December
to 53,645 today, according to
Clark Squire, of the office of the
collector in Tacoma. Withholding
taxes reported in for the fiscal
year 1948 were up $23 million
over 1947. The promptness was
due to the response employers
made to an appeal by the govern
ment to get reports in as soon as
possible, he said. .....
BY June 3, when the refund
ing job was virtually completed,
Squire continued, the office had
refunded $25,551,023 to 515,36s
persons. .
The outlook for early refunding
looks dim this year, Squire said,
unless employers continue their
splendid cooperation. He listed
tw oreasons why the job would
be more difficult this time: ID
lower withholding rates, effective
May l, will bring refunds to more
persons, and CD employees no
longer may use Form W. as a

hcial says CIO leader was mis-
informed when he told a Congress

alleged Communist infiltration into
q CIO department store union that
its seeding locals are trying to buy

local officers are "canvassing the

and are offering 10000 workers like

Mr.. Wolchok made the assertions
before House Education and Labor

Communist inroads into the CIO
union.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-One of In

Tentatively, the award will be
given for three years, starting in
