Stage Workers
Union Denounces
abe Injunction

New York City OLNS).-"In.
voluntary servitude" seems to have
been reestablished by temporary
injunction obtained by the Ameri-
can Broadcasting Co.'S. in connec-
tion with the premiere here of its
television station, WITTY, the In
ternational Association of Theatric-
! al Stage Employees and Moving
Picture Machine Operators declar-
ed in denouncing the writ.
The injunction, issued in u. S
District Court on petition of the
National Labor Relations Board
barred the union from interfering
with the broadcast and from at
tempting to force the company to
recognize it as bargaining agent
for the operators of ABC television
equipment when broadcasts are
made from theaters.
The ABC network had complain
ed to the NLRB that it was "the
innocent party" in a jurisdictional
dispute between the stagehands
and the National Association of
Broadcast Engineers and Technic-
ians, an independent union, with
which the radio concern has a con-
tract covering video technicians.
The dispute, the network held,
threatened to disrupt a premiere
program originating from the Pal
ace Theatre.
Union Side Not Asked
In statement issued in Cfeve-
land, Richard F. Walsh, president
of the stagehands' union, charged
that the NLRB had not solicited its
version of the dispute before ap-
plying for the stay, which was
made valid for 5 days.
"If it had, Walsh continued, 1--WE
would have been able to tell them
the actual background of this con-
troversy. The board would have
found that NABET had threatened
to strike the entire ABC system if
peaceful and satisfactory arrange
ments were made with IATSE.
"The board would have learned
that we offered without prejudice
to our contractual rights for the
future in the Palace Theatre, and
our established jurisdiction in the
sphere of theatrical television, to
arrange for the members of both
organizations to be employed at
the premiere tonight.
Union To Seek Court Relief
"The board would have been in
formed that ABC offered to pay
our. members standby time in
violation of the law and that we re-
fused to make that arrangement
because we have always opposed
standby compensation.
"This injunction seems to have
established involuntary serv-
itude. 1t emphasizes and points up
the inequity of the Taft-Hartley
Law. Nevertheless, and despite the
loathing we have for this progeny
of the Eightieth Congress, we shall
seek to secure relief and redress in
our merican courts under our Am
erican system"

Three Million Workers Covered
Under HeuIfh-Pension Confrucfs

Health-pension contracts between
employers and employees have made
big gains in recent years and now
cover at least 100000 American
workers, the Department of Labor
says. The total is 5 times the cover
age of 100000 in 1945 and more
than double the amount in 1916.
Behind the figures, the depart
ment says, is the fact that workers
have grown more and more inter
ested in obtaining guarantees to
tide them through periods of sick
ness and injury and to provide for
old age and for survivors.
In many cases workers, through
their unions, have voluntarily re-
fused part, or all, of any immedi-
ate wage increase offered by an
employer to devote the money, in
stead, to the promotion of an in
surance program. This same in
terest in welfare is demonstrated
in union demands for a broad ex-
pansion of the federal governments
own Social Security system.
Discussing the trends, the de-
partment says in new publication:
"These (insurance) programs, in
one form or another, exist today
in varying degree in nearly 100
national or international unions.
Large numbers of workers in
the following industries are cover
ed by some type of health, welfare,
and Tor retirement benefit plans Sc
cured through collective bargain
ing:
"Clothing (men's and women's),
textiles, coal mining, construction,
machinery particularly electrically,
rubber, paper, furniture, ship-build-
ing, steel, utilities, retail and
wholesale trade, local transporta-
tion, fur and leather, cleaning and
dyeing, hotel, commercial teleg-
raphy, playthings, jewelry."
The federal government has done
much to help unions win insurance
protection, it is noted.
First, the governments Social
Security program, begun early in
President Roosevelt's administra-
tion, encouraged labor unions to
amplify those benefits through pri-
vate plans with employers.
Then, in the war years, the gov
ernment limited wage increases, but
permitted employers to inaugurate,
or expand, worker insurance plans
(since the money was set aside and
not Immediately used to increase
purchasing power, though it did in
crease employers costs to some ex-
tent. More recently the Labor Re-
lations Board ruled that employers
are compelled, by the labor code, to
consider demands for such insur-
ance plans in collective bargaining
with unions.
Some of the plans are financed
by the employer and workers joint
ly, some by the employer alone.
Some are virtually industry-wide,
such as those of the United Mine
Workers, the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union, AFL, and
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers, CIO.
However, most of the benefit
plans cover only members of a
local, rather than an entire union.
With such plans seemingly on
steady increase, the Department of
Labor reported that the trends are:
/. Toward complete financing
of the plan by the employer-or
reducing the employees share of
the cost.
2. "To increase the number of
different benefits provided, as well
as to liberalize existing benefits" "

Last Rites Held For Francis P. Fenton;
Prominent Leaders Pay Him Tribute

Washington-Francis P. Fenton,
international representative OF the
American Federation of Labor, was
buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery here
after funeral services at st. Mat
thews Cathedral attended by high
officials of organized labor and
government.
Mr.. Fenton died in his office aft
err suffering two heart attacks while
he was preparing report on the
recent International Labor Confer
ence in San Francisco which he at
tended in his capacity as U. 5.
workers delegate. Prior to his ap-
pointment as the AFL's represent

: fare Conference, was the celebrant
of the solemn requiem mass and
delivered brief eulogy in tribute
to Mr.. Fenton, who was one of the
most widely-known and best-liked
figures in the American labor
movement.
Referring to the fact that Mr.
Fenton was born into the labor
movement, Reverend Higgins said
he had continued to devote his life
to the service of his fellowmen as
a practical expression of his relig-
ion and of the spirit which has
animated the American labor move
ment.
Led by AFL President William
Green and George Meany, AFL
secretary-treasurer, a group OF
friends, colleagues of Mr.. Fenton's
on the AFL staff, and representa-
tives of international unions and
state AFL affiliates served as hon
orary pallbearers at the services.
Messages of tribute to Mr.. Fen
ton expressing the awareness OF
the great loss his death has brought
to the American labor movement
have been received at AFL offices
here from prominent citizens, gov
ernment officials, and labor leaders
of this nation and the world.
AFL President William Green,
speaking Of Mr.. Fenton's death,
declared that eve have all sustain
ed an unreasonable loss as the re-
suit of his passing"
In tribute to Mr. Fenton's work
in promoting democracy at home
and abroad were messages receiv-
ed from Secretary of State George
C.. Marshall; David A. Morse, the
newly-elected director general Of
the International Labor Office and
former Under Secretary of Labor;
w. Averell Hartman, u nj t e d
States European representative un-

riere, a French labor organization
which recently broke away from
the unist-dominated General
Confederation of Labor, and Ber-
nardo Ibanez, president of the In
ter-American Confederation of
Workers.
In addition, messages were re-
ceived from Mr.. Fenton's collea-
CUES among the delegations attend
ing the International Labor Con
ference at which he had been elect
ed regular member of the ILO
Governing Body, and from many
of the members Of the iLO staff

Dulles and Mrs. Roosevelt Proposed
AS DELEGATES to L. n. Paris Assembly

In ofY-the-record conversations
here, Mr.. Dulles has taken the quiet
ly optimistic view that 1t is still pos
sible to solve the situation through
diplomatic channels. He is repre-
sented as sharing the opinion that
too much present policy Is being
manufactured in the Pentagon here
and by General Clay on the scene.
The continuation OF Mrs. Roose-
velt's U. N. duties insures that she
will not participate in the coming
campaign, which will be entirely
pleasing to her. However, the White
House has been resolving the issues
on which she differed with the Pres
ident along lines which she approves
And some statement of her own
personal position regarding the cleo
ton may be forthcoming as the hour
of decision nears.
James Roosevelt, eldest of the
Roosevelt sons and California ma
tional committeeman, made his
peace publicly with the renominated
President during the closing hours
at Philadelphia. Elliott and Frank
lin, jr., have not peeped. They are
members of Americans for Demo-
cratic Action, which meets soon tt

States delegate to the security
Council, and Ray Atherton, State
Department careerist who Is AM
bassador to Canada.
AS Messrs. Dulles, Austin and
Atherton are Republicans, States
suggestions tip the scales heavily in
the direction of the bipartisan
foreign policy, too heavily it looks
to some quarters on Capitol Hill.
The White House expectation, how
ever, seems to be to keep foreign
policy out of the campaign and the
Congress will have to be satisfied
with alternate appointments. If any.
Mr.. Dulles is slated to be Gov.
Dewey's Secretary of State in the
event Of a Republican victory this
fell. Thus the Paris U. N. sessions
will place both the present and pos
sible future Secretaries Of State in a
strategic position to master-mlnd
any four power meeting that may
result from present conversations
in Moscow.
French sources already are sug-
costing that Paris may soon be the
scene of a new conference designed
to settle the German situation.
A second effect of Mr.. Dulles
presence at any four-power negoti-
atoms that materialize in Paris,
in addition to strengthening BIZ
partisanship, will be to emphasize
diplomatic negotiations as opposed
to military-maoe policy.

point out that the Federal grand
Jury in New York conveniently
handed down the indictment OF the
u top-ranking Communists on the
eve Of the special session.
The fact is that the grand jury
started It's investigation Is months
ago and it happened that the first
phase of its work ended late IN July
1t has now recessed, but will renew
it's hearings in the fall.
Because of the laxity OF our
espionage laws the grand jury was
able to indict only those who could
be prosecuted under present laws.
But this does not mean that the
other "witnesses" who escaped in
dictment because of legal technical
tiles should remain unexposed.
Whole Case Not Presented.
For reasons which are not yet
clear the grand jury was not al
lowed to make a public presentation
of the whole case, as was done by
the Royal Commission in Canada in
1916.
The story which is now being
publicly unfolded at the congress
sional hearings was well known
throughout the war to many Wash
ington ofIicials and newspapermen.
But the real story could not be
brought to the attention of the
American people because Moscow
might have taken offense and the
war effort would be needlessly
jeopardized.
When, for instance, in 1943 a
House Military Affairs Subcommit-
tee began investigating in executive
session the commissioning of Com
munists in the sensitive branches Of
the Army counter intelligence
radar and cryptography) the Army
first denied that
such situation existed.
Confronted with actual orders,
the Army people denied that any
Communist had been commissioned.

the files of a number of officers on
their own list, the spokesman for
the Secretary of War produced a
letter from highest authority order
ing that no files be made available

But there is one crisis already
with us. It is in education. The
Senate recognized 1t last spring
when. after two years 'considera-
ton, it passed the Federal aid to
education bill. This bill had four
Republicans, Senators Taft, Cooper,
Tobey and Smith. and four Demo-
Gratis, Senators Thomas of Utah,
Hill, Ellender and Chavez, for its
authors. The vote in its favor was
So to %.
Rests in Committee.
An almost identical bill, intro
duced by Representative McCowen,
Republican, of Ohio, was given ex-
tensive hearings by the House Com
mittee on Education and Labor, Of
which Representative Hartley Of
New Jersey is chairman. The House
has not been permitted to vote on 1t.
1t is still in the Hartley committee.
At the beginning of the present
special session Senator Taft urged
Speaker Martin and Majority Lead
er Halleck to bring this bill out for
action. They refused, just as they
had refused during the regular
session, when Speaker Martin adj
mitted that there was more interest
in the bill than in any other sub
ject before Congress.
The interest Is shown not merely
by educators, including teachers
seeking better pay, but by millions
of parents whose children are being
deprived of decent education.
Education is not keeping pace with
the national income. In 1882 the
United States spent nearly per
cent of the total national income
on the schools. We are now spend
ing about ~ per cent.
1t Is not keeping pace with the
growth. Next month,
when the schools open, there will
not be enough of books, seats, rooms,
buildings and teachers to take care
of the children. Many will have to
be turned away. Millions will be
subjected to makeshift facilities.

to the subcommittee, because Sucn
action might damage our relation
ship with one of our great allies.
The fact that some very highly
placed officials were keeping the
Russians posted on everything going
on in this country-the atom bomb
project, superbombers, high-speed
submarines, diplomatic projects OF
the State Department and White
House-was we'll known to large
number of persons in Washington.
But nobody could risk bringing
these facts to public attention, since
substantiation strong enough to
stand UP in court was unavailable.
Only once. in May, 1914, was the
work of these highly placed sub
versives in the Government brought
out. Information reached Senator
Bridges from a reliable source that
the War Department, in defiance OF
existing laws, had ordered the de-
struction of thousands of files Of
Communist agents in the United
States. The files had been built up
over a number of years by counter
intelligence.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee appointed a subcommittee
consisting of Senators O'Mahoney,
Chandler and Bridges. The investi-
CATION proved that the order had
been issued by 1t. Gen. Joseph
McNarney, then deputy chief Of
staff, who assumed all respon-
sibility.
Merely Obeyed Orders.
Later it became known that Gen.
McNarney "a good soldier - had
merely obeyed orders and covered
up for higher authority. The files
were not destroyed - they were
eventually dispersed-and the affair
had no further repercussions.

its destruction would cost the tax
payers a large sum Of money. Also,
it was said. the men fighting the
war were entitled to read such
writings.
The espionage net now being I'M
covered in Washington was closely
connected with that in Canada.
When Igor Gouzenko, the former
Soviet Embassy employe in Ottawa,
broke the Canadian case he was
examined by United States intelli-
gence officers. Mr.. GouZenko gave
them two years ago the names OF
number of high officials in the
State Department who were COM
municating occasionally with the So
Wet government through the Soviet
Embassy in Ottawa.
A full report was presented at that
time to Secretary of State Byrnes,
but no action was taken.
