Opposition Forms
To uses, JobIess
Benefits Transfer

Washington (LPA)-A mass o1
employer opposition-more impress
sive for its numbers than its argu-
ments-last week stood in the way
of President Truman's plan to place
the U. S. Employment Service and
administration of the federal job
less benefits program in the Labor
Dept.
With spokesmen for CIO and
AFL and Labor Secretary Schwel-
lenbach supporting the plan before
the House Executive Expenditures
Committee, dozens of employer or
ganizations from the states testi-
fled against the proposal. They
were marshalled before the Com
mittee by Benefit Advisers Serv-
ice of Wisconsin.
Nelson Cruikshank, the AFL's
director of social insurance activi-
ties appeared. In the prepared testi-
mony he stated that the plan is ga
step forward in progressive reor-
ganization of governmental respon-
sibilities." He denied accusations
that the Labor Dept would act in
labor's rather than the public in
terest in administering the two
programs. "Though there are in
evitably differences of opinion be-
tween groups in our democracy"
he told the Congressman, "the long
run interests of labor coincide with
those Of industry, agriculture, and
other groups in our economy"
Paul Sifton of the United Auto
Workers filed a statement for CIO
supporting the reorganization plan.
"Since its creation in 1913, the u.
S. Labor Dept has been most in
timately concerned with providing
services to employers and workers
so as best to promote opportunities
for profitable employment, and in
this connection has developed re-
sources anu IdClllllCS COilCCI IllllS
labor market conditions, labor turn
over, and other problems affecting
employment and working condi-
tions. 1t is, therefore, especially i'm
portant that these two programs
be coordinated federally in the La
Dor Dept. In contrast, we do not
believe that these two programs
can be similarly advanced in an
agency such as the Federal Secur-
ity Agency which is concerned pri-
marily with welfare, health and ed
ucation programs"
Unemployment Compensation Di-
rector Clayton Johnson of the
UAW also appeared to point out
how state unemployment compen-
sation commissions in many cases
are, stacked against the employees.
Labor Dept Misunderstanding,
would be a help to workers seeking
fair jobless benefit rules in the
states, he maintained.

HOUSE COP TAX SLASH
WINDFALL TO TIE RICH

Washington tLPA)-By a vote
of 297 to 120 the House of Repre-
sentatives last week passed tax
reduction measure looping S6.5 bill
lion off federal revenues. The bill
which gives disproportionate relief
to upper bracket tax payers, was
brought to vote after the House
turned down motion to recommit
the bill in favor of Democratic
Party substitute by a vote of 285-
159.
Sixty-three Democrats joined the
Republicans in the final vote for
the bill. All but eight Of them are
from the south. On the test vote
for the Democratic substitute, mo-
delled on President Truman's rec
concentrations, % Democrats de-
serted their party.
The bill which the House APP
proved will probably never come to
the President for the veto that it
would surely receive. 1t will be
modified in the Senate. Republi-
can leaders there have indicated
support for the position of such
conservative Democrats as Rep.
Robert Doughton IN. CO.. Dough
ton follows the pattern of the COP
measure but would reduce all the
cuts so that federal revenues would
be slashed by no more than $4
billion.
Proposed by Rep. Harold Knut-
son (R., Minn.), the Republican
bill aids small tax payers by in
creasing personal exemptions from
$500 to $500, and cutting the taxes
of persons with incomes under
50 900 by 20 per cent.
But while the Truman sugges-
tions would have left the tax bill
as is for persons with incomes over
$1,000, save for the flat $40 reduc-
tion, the Knutson bill grants them
impressive bonuses. For example,
under the House bill the $4,000
a-year man keeps $500 more than
he would under the Administration
proposal, and million-a-year men
$94 900 more.
Also of greater benefit to high
than low income tax payers is the
community property" feature,
which permits husbands and wives
to divide the family income for tax
purposes.
Other features include increased
exemptions for the blind, and peo-
pie over 65, and a reduction of the
ceiling on the amount that anyone
may be forced to pay in federal in
come taxes from 85.5 per cent to II
per cent.
The COP refused to entertain
an Administration proposal to hold
back part of the cut in federal rev.
enues by adding an excess profits
tax to its bill.
Democratic strategy was compli

StYattOn Bill Is
Pushed Around

Washington (LPA) - Despite
mounting popular support for the
passage of the Station bill to admit
100000 of Europe's war victims to
the u. S., its chances of passing
this 80th Congress seems remote.
The House subcommittee which
took testimony on it last year is
still stalling, on the ground that
the Senate should act first. The
subcommittee chairman, Frank
Fellows (R., Maine) is far from
enthusiastic about the bill, and one
of its most bigoted opponents, Rep.
Ed Gossett ID, Tex is an influ-
ential member of the committee.
In the Senate, Chapman Rever-
comb (R., w. Va.) has not yet filed
the full report of the committee
he lead to Europe last summer to
investigate the DPS. He has, how
ever, quietly presented the full Sen
ate Judiciary Committee with a
draft bill that would lower the
Stratton bills 100000 immigrants
over a four-year period to $4,000.
Revercomb was supposed to have
his full report ready by Jan. 10,
but on motion of Sen. Homer Fer
guson (R., Mich) he got an ex-
tension to Feb. 10. When Sen. Alex
ander Wiley (R., Wis., saw Rever-
combs draft legislation he asked
further extension till March l to
permit the committee to clean up
Revercomb's work.
Supporters of the Stratton bill
are confident that the Senate Judi
ciary Committee will revise up
ward Revercomb's ceiling, and will
remove some of the "jokers" from
his draft bill.
Most glaring of these is the pre-
ference it gives to farm workers.
Some observers here think that
this preference was directed by a
desire to keep out Jewish immi-
grants, few of whom are exper-
fenced farm laborers.
Under Revercomb's draft anyone
for entry would have to
have job and housing guaranteed
him in advance. Not only would
this provision be impossible of full
fillment by many of the displaced
persons, but most of those able to
enter would come in at the mercy
of low-wage employers who had
contracted for their labor.

farmer and consumer real break.
But the thing that gets the big
gest smile from the co-operators-
the biggest joke of all, to hear them
tell it's the fact that the price
war will help them to do even
better what they set up their store
to do; that is, to save people money
on food. If the chains will slash
prices, down will come the cost of
living for the peoplpe of Pontiac.
And that's exactly what the coop
is organized to bring about, isn't
it?
This coop has put little money
into fixtures; their store was too
well-planned for that. Almost all
their money is in food and other
household necessities that can't go
wrong. Figure it out, they say.
What have we got to lose in a price
war!
So, all you consumers lined up
for the fight against the enemy!
What are you afraid of? Little
David goes out against the biggest
gain of them all-the Goliath of
the food selling business. Maybe
this time David won't knock him
out with just one pebble and his
sling. But he sure is annoying the
old so-and-so. And he's saving peo-
pie money at the same time. And
boy, is he having funl

Gated by the preference of Dough
ton and other conservative south
erners for a modified Republican
measure rather than all-out sup
port of Truman's plan, which was
sponsored by Rep. John Dingell
(Mich.).
Meanwhile, joint House-Senate
budget committee estimated gov
ernment receipts So billion higher
than the President anticipated, and
slashed $2H billion from the
amount of expenditure asked for
in his budget measure.
Since the cut is in the form of
a budget ceiling of 1912 billion
the cut for domestic governmental
purposes and for the Marshall plan
will actually be greater than SIS
billion, as additional funds requests
are expected from the White
House, including one for $500,000,-
900 for aid to China.
Rep. John Taber (R., N. ", who
last year led the fight to deprive
labor-serving agencies of the fed
eral government of virtually all
operating funds, has indicated that
he will press for even greater re-
ductions in domestic expenditures
than his colleagues on the joint
committee agreed to. Democrats,
on the other hand, are doubtful if
the COP will actually go through
with wholesale slashes in an cleo
tion year.
One possible post-election COP
idea to fill the hole left in the bud

enues and it's refusal to go after

hart said that the whole income tax
system was fathered by Karl Marx,
and was inflicted on America by
such red-hot radicals as Woodrow
Wilson and Cordell Hull. He wants
to outlaw the whole system. Only
possible replacement would be a
federal sales tax.

Newspaper Guild,
Calf. Democrats
Reject Wallace

New York (LPA)-The interna-
tional executive board of the AM
erican Newspaper Guild last week,
with only one dissenting vote, de-
clared its support of the political
policies of UAC, and condemned the
third party movement.
In California last week, the long
divided Democratic Party state ex-
ecutive committee united behind a
slate of delegates to the Demo-
cratic national convention none of
whom are identified with Robert
Kenny and the Democrats for Wal
lace" movement. The Independent
Progressive Party, however, claims
that it has obtained more then en-
ough petition signatures to get
Wallace on the ballot in that state
Here in New York Wallace sup
porters are debating whether or
not to concentrate all of their
strength in the American Labor
Party, from which all but the cleft
wing" unions have recently with
drawn. Altho the ALP is clearly
the strongest pre- Wallace group in
the state, some of the former vice
presidents supporters feel he can
get more votes if still another par
ty, less identified with the Com
munists, and not as committed to
the running of its own Congress
sional candidates, is put into the
field.
Meanwhile, speaking in Colum-
bus, Ohio Wallace said that altho
he disagreed with the Communist
social and economic program he
sees no harm in accepting Commu-
mist support for his new party. He
called upon all candidates to take
a pledge that they will not accept
support of any group (which would
restrict the civil liberties of others
for reasons of race, color or creed"
From New York, Harry Fleisch-
man, national secretary of the Soc
ialist Party, replied to Wallace that
the Communists whose support
Wallace accepts have done just
that in Europe, and have broken
up Socialist and anti-Communist
trade union meetings here.

Protest Grain

CC0nfinued From Page One)
some of those countries exporting
beer to the United States, and re-
gardless of whether these exports,
in the aggregate, are large or
small, they are clear proof that
while these countries may be in
dire need of food, brewers grains
are not the solution to their food
problems.
Granting, however, that the
brewing industry in the United
States, by restricting its use of
certain grains, can help in the
feeding of Epurope, we hold that
there is no need or justification
for brewing purposes. Barley is
grown primarily for beverage pur-
poses. But little barley is used for
human food purposes, in proper
tion to the annual world crop, in
any country; neither is it econom-
ical for purposes Of cattle feeding
in its natural state; III fact, only
after the brewing process does it
attain its full nutritional value as
IN cattle feed, so much so, that a
large segment of the United States
dairying industry is dependent up
on it in its post-brewing state to
maintain milk production at the
highest level. The same holds true
of the distilling industry's spent
grains
Full Consideration Urged
"Applied to the brewing, mailing
and distilling industries, grain
conservation program should be
based on a full study and consid-
Grafton of the nature of the var
ious grains used, to determine
whether or not restrictions impos-
ed on their use will actually con-
tribute to European relief.
consideration must also be
given to the probable effect grain
restrictions will have on employ
ment in those industries, to pre-
vent hardships on American work
ers and their families through par
tial or complete shutdown of the
industries. The sum total of the
good accomplished will be very
little if need and hunger are mere
ly shifted from Il group of people
abroad to a group here i'm the
United States"

Closed Shop Ban Upheld
By Arizona High Court.

Phoenix, Ariz. OLNS) - The
Arizona Supreme Court thinks the
fright to work" law an anti-closed
shop measure adopted by popular
vote in 1916, is constitutional. The
American Federation of Labor join
ed the State Federation of Labor
in attacking the constitutional
amendment. Labor plans to appeal
the decision to the U. S. Supreme
Court.
The Arizona court rejected la
boris contention that the act de-
prived unions and employers of
freedom of contract, constituted
class legislation ad restrained civil
rights of assembly and speech.
Evidently the people of Arizona
determined that in the public in

Women's Bureau
Calls Conference

Washington (LPA)-More than
200 leaders of women workers,
many of them top union officials,
will attend a conference called here
Feb. 18 to 19 on "The American
Woman-Her Changig Role AS
Worker, Homemaker, and Citizen"
Called by the Women's Bureau,
the sessions will review the pro-
gress that women have made since
the "Declaration of Sentiments"
was drawn up at the women's
rights convention in Seneca Falls,
N. Y, 100 years ago. "This con-
ference will not" Director Frieda
S. Miller of the Women's Bureau
stated, "yield a 1913 declaration
of women's rights" such as the suf-
fragettes drafted in 1848.
"Women have gone too far and
achieved too much to make action
of that kind either necessary or ap-
propriate. The meeting will, how
ever, clarity thinking and give in
depreciation TO many of the issues
which now concern women and, it
is hoped, lead to a better under
standing of women's status on the
part of the community and nation,
the agencies which have deep in
terest in women's progress, and wo-
men themselves in their capacities
as workers, homemakers and citi-
zens."
Meanwhile, the Senator Labor
Committee this week will hear testi-
mony on a bill to require that
equal pay be given for equal work
regardless of sex. All unions are
backing the bill.
