.UAW Must Wait
For Case RuIinq

Washington (LPA)-The United
Auto Workers will just have tC
wait for the Supreme Courts rul
ing on the Justice Dep'ts appeal or
CIO President Philip Murray's test
case for a decision on the no poll
tical expenditures section of the
Taft-Hartley law, a three man fed
eral court said last week.
President Walter Reuther and
the union asked for an injunction
to keep the FBI from shopping into
UAW 1948 election activities. But
the special court said that they
had failed to create a judicial is
sue in their suit.
SO, the UAW and the rest of or
ganized labor will have to wait and
see if the Supreme Court upholds a
district Judges decision that the no
politics part of Taft-Hartley is con-
stitutional. The highest court is
now weighing the arguments of
CIO and government lawyers on the
issues. AFL, Int'l Association of
Machinists, American Veterans
Committee and the American Civil
Liberties Union joined in filing
briefs against the laws interfer-
ence with labor's freedom of
speech, assembly, and press.

0Ieo Tax Repeal
Forces Win Test
Vote In Senate

Washington, ID. c. QLNS) =
Forces in the Senate supporting
repeal of margarine taxes won a
vital test vote, AZ to 30, which was
looked upon as virtually assuring
passage of repeal legislation in the
upper chamber.
The Senate vote overturned the
decision of its presiding officer,
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg,
that the Rivers bill, approved by
the House April %, should go to
the hostile Agriculture Committee
for consideration. After the vote,
Vandenberg Immediately referred
the bill to the Finance Committee,
where early approval was thought
certain.
AS in the House victory of the
butter interests, the margarine
forces won by enlisting Republican
as well as Democratic votes. On the
roll call, IA Republicans voted
against Vandenberg's ruling. -.
Repeal advocates argued that the
bill was a tax measure in an at
tempt to keep it from the Agricul-
ture Committee. That committee,
they feared, would pigeonhole the
measure as the House Agriculture
Committee earlier had done. The
House got to vote on the measure
only through the unusual method
of petition to discharge the COM
mittee from further consideration
of it.
The debate on the action was
marked by heated disagreement be-
tween the two factions. Members
of the Agriculture Committee were
vehement in declaring that early
action would be taken if the bill
were referred to them.
Senator j. William Fulbright of
Arkansas declared that the "butter
lobby" planned to delay action by
offering "at least 100 witnesses"
before the Agriculture Committee.
Supporters of repeal of the 62-
year old taxes, denounced by the
AFL President William Green as
unjust and discriminatory, were
jubilant at the Senate action. They
predicted that the Finance Com
mittee would approve the bill by
decisive vote and that victory for
the measure would follow in the
Senate.

Green Names Reuther
AS AFL-CIO Unifier

Boston (LPA) = AFL Presi-
dent William Green, here to ad-
dress a banquet of the State,
County & Municipal Employees
convention, told reporters that
Walter p. Reuther, president Of
the United Auto Workers-ClO,
was the one man in the CIO
whom eve in the AFL can work
with better than any other man
| know Of"
Expressing again his hope for
a unified labor movement, Green
said that Reuther's drive to rid
the CIO of Communist elements
was leading the two federations
closer together.
Two weeks earlier, Reuther
had told a banquet of Americans
for Democratic Action in Pitts
burgh that "Now that the AFL
has lost a couple Of unnecessary
eyebrows, and we have put some
boys in line, we are creating an
environment which one day may
permit us to create one great
organization"

TeIevision Wage
Scale Agreed To

New York (LPA)-James G. Pc
trillo, American Federation Of Mu-
sicians-AFL president said last
week that the negotiations for the
first television union wages con-
stituted zone Of the most difficult
wage situations I've ever faced.
Our problem was to get a decent
wage scale without hampering the
process of an infant industry that
the public has long awaited"
In consideration of both these
points the union accepted a six
month constract under which local
television broadcasts will pay mu-
sicians two-thirds Of the correspon-
ling major radio station rates. Net
work television programs, however,
will bring three-fourths the radio
scale.
Radio station staff musicians
playing on television programs will
be paid their regular rates, and if
television staff musicians are used
on regular radio hook-up they
will get the radio broadcast wage.
Additional pay must be accorded
under the contract for duplicate ra-
dio and television work. Special
rates will be set by the union for
programs where a television broad
caster pick up" theater or hotel
orchestras. No extra pay is being
demanded, however, if television
catches a band in a political con-
vention or parade broadcast.
The television companies may
not, under the contract, use tele-
cast filmed records of live pro-
grams except for one showing over
their network stations.
Commenting on the negotiations,
Petrillo remarked; Nobody on
either side of the table had adequ-
ate statistics about employment
possibilities in television. We were
sweating this out at the bottom OF
a well.
"This agreement is going to help
television along. Later on, We'll !
have a better idea of where it is
going. Then we can get together
again, look at the facts and be
guided accordingly. Meanwhile our
get paid, the public gets
a break, and so does the industry"

MiIwaukee's Fame
Brewers On Strike

Milwaukee (LPA) = The first
strike in 26 years of the Brewery
Workers Union Local 8, began last
week when the Schlitz bottle house
workers failed to report for work
On Monday morning, $500 work
ers, members of Local 9, at Blatz,
Pabst, Miller, Gettleman, and in
dependent breweries joined the
strike, business agent Pat Finley
announced. Tapering off produc-
ton, only few workers have re-
manned on the job in any of the
six breweries to prevent spoilage.
Nearly IL per cent of the coun-
try's beer supply is cut off.
Picketing has been peaceful at
all plants, an early agreement hav-
ing been reached with Milwaukee
Police Chief John Polcyn.
The brewery workers have scaled
down their original demand for a
40c increase to "an amount neceS-
sary to maintain a decent standard
of living" Over 500 workers voted
to strike, only 282 opposing the
call. The last offer of the company,
1870, was rejected by the union
committee.
"The brewery workers have al
ways had high standard of living
and they want to maintain that
standard. This does not offset the
increase in production brought
about by chronological changes
which have cut our take-home pay
and caused our work crews to be
decreased" Ted Kurtz, assistant
business agent, pointed out.
The brewers can we'll afford to
increase wages, the union claims.

Conservatives Hit
Army's Jim Crow

Washington (LPA)- Prominent
Negro leaders, called here for
meeting at the Pentagon last week,
have refused to serve on a perma-
nent racial relations advisory COM
mittee to the armed services, un-
til steps are taken to end Jim Grow
in the armed forces.
The very conservative group,
nd-picked by the National De-
fense Dept, was 50 shocked at the
amy's "brick wall' stand oppos-
ing any mixing Of Negro and white
men that they publicly attacked
Army Secretary Kenneth Royal for
his stiff-necked attitude. They un-
animously approved a resolution
calling segregation a form of
racial discrimination.
The action Of the group was
hailed by President A. Philip Ran
dolph Of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters-AFL, who said:
"As race, we have passed more
than our share of resolutions and
signed more than our share Of pc
titions. If we are to retain self-re-
spect in the present crisis, our one
remaining alternative is to register
our sentiments thru a policy of
non-cooperation. Fortunately, the
country is still at peace and Mr..
Forrestall himself foresees no inn
mediate conflict"
The Negro leaders who met with
Defense Secretary Forrestall and
top army, air force and navy off
cials, reported that Defense Secre-
tary Royal stated flatly that there
can be segregation without discrim-
ination, and stood finn on the 1916
report by 1t. Gen. A. C. Gillem
which upholds separate battalions
and companies Of white and Negro
soldiers within regiments.

Free enterprise! What is free en-
terprise
The words enter into most dis
cussions over the conflict between
democracy and red communism.
Perhaps there is no clear defini-
ton Of the words "free enterprise"
as we use them in ordinary con
versation.
Most Americans do not. use the
words as meaning the right to un-
limited freedom in enterprise, com
mercially and industrially.
There is something fundamental
about free enterprise, as a part of
the democratic way Of life.
And there is something funda-
mental about putting a limit on
free enterprise.
Andrew Carnegie and the late
John d. Rockefeller were great ex-
ponents Of unlimited free enter
prise.

The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-05-13

Andrew Carnegie and the late
John d. Rockefeller were great ex-
ponents Of unlimited free enter
prise.
What we learned from them was
that unless there is a limit, unless
there are rules, unless there are
restraints, free enterprise can con-
sumo itself just about as effectively
as though there were a state mon
opoly instead Of a private monop-
oily.
Fifty years ago and less our rail
roads used the most ruthless meth
DDS, often in league with big ship
pers, to throttle competition and to
jockey their rates. Some Of them
owned public officials, while mu-
nicipal utilities owned others. The
public was getting a grand run
around.
1 So we had to establish utility
commissions and railroad commits
sions and we had to enact anti
trust laws.
We had to create rules and lay
down restrictions. "Thus far and
no farther"
Unrestrained free enterprise
sometimes leads toward monopoly
and when monopoly enters, free
enterprise bows out.
1t is our ability to know where
and how to fix a limit that ensures
the life of free enterprise.
Franklin D. Roosevelt aroused
the wrath of wealth and of specu-
lators when he put the stock ex-
change under controls. Now few
would remove these controls.
We had to put our banks under
controls and we had to establish
set of pure food and drug laws.
The American people have shown
something of a genius for establish
ing controls for the safeguarding of
free enterprise.
Many of our controls have been
for the maintenance of decent
standards. The food and drug laws
fall in that classification.
Many abuses remain, but, step |
by step, the American people have |
set up rules and governing bodies.
These, while seeming to limit free
dom of enterprise, actually have
safeguarded it. You can play in
this game, if you observe the rules.
In the 90's we had all kinds of
"barons." There were lumber bar
ons, steel barons, financial barons
kinds of "barons".
Today, while we have many pow
erful figures, the word "baron" has
just about dropped out of use, as
applied to industrial and financial
figures. Our growing body of rules
and regulations has done that for
US. 1t is mark of change.
None cried louder than the pack
ers when their filth was cleaned
up by law. But without that clean
ing up, the packers were on their
way to doom.
A goodly part of our ability to
resist communist dictatorship lies
n our ability to so safeguard free
that it may remain free.
You may go into business, but
you may not steal, deceive, blud-
yeon and perhaps kill your rivals
n order to monopolize that busi-
less.
Our body of rules and regula-
ions is not yet complete, but it
loes appear that we have set a
'attern, so that we approach an
American definition of free enter
rise as an essential of democracy.
Our need today is to increase
he speed of our action, for today
ii things go faster-and tomorrow
till faster.
