Letters to The Star
CONGRESS Blamed for Strikes


To the Editor Of The Star:
One OF your correspondents suggests as
remedy to settle labor disputes, the creation
of labor or industrial court
Such an institution would not be workable for
the reason that within short time its person.
mel (judges) would consist OF repudiated, cast
some Of the judges Of the present-day courts,
both State and Federal. Had such a court been
in existence during the New Deal reign, what
kind Of judges would such court be composed
of todaya The answer is IAborites and New
Dealers. r. h.etf =. 4.,f
It Is not the fault of labor leaders that the
cost Of living is going up daily; that wages.
constantly are rising all out Of proportion to
the work performed; that strikes are either oc-
curing or threatened every month or two.
These leaders simply are exercising the right
given to them. ...,
The fault lies with the Congress of the
United States. That lawmaking body, for IS
years, has enacted protective and discrimina-
tory laws in favor of the labor unions, $4,000 900
strong, to the detriment Of 100000 non
union workers.
If communism ever gets foothold in this
country, 1t will be the fault of members of Con-
gress for not living up to their oath and obl-
cation. They do not represent the majority Of
the people.
The first remedial step should be the abolish
ment Of the so-called Wagner Act.

Austrian Peace Talks Stalled

The breakdown of Four Power talks on
an Austrian peace treaty can be variously
interpreted To some 1t came as sur
prise, because in recent weeks the Soviet
representative had shown more amenable
attitude. This was thought to reflect a
Russian desire to get the occupation troops
of the Western Powers out of Austria, as
would happen with all occupation forces
shortly after a peace treaty was made.
And that, in turn, aroused considerable
uneasiness among Western diplomats,
who feared that local Communists, with
Russian backing, might stage coup d'etat
which would bring Austria under effective
Soviet control.
Despite this presumed incentive, how
ever, the Soviet delegate again raised a
highly controversial issue. This is Yugo-
slavia's claim to large slice OF Austrian
territory in Southern Carinthia and
Styria. That is claim which the Western
Powers have consistently held to be in
admissible, since it goes counter to the
wartime agreements made between Amer
lea, Britain and Soviet Russia that the
Austria" which they jointly agreed to
restore in full independence and SOW
ereignty would have the frontiers of 1888,
when it was absorbed into Hitler's Third
Reich Another Soviet claim, likewise
rejected by the Western Powers as con-
travening the inter-Alied agreements, is
that Austria should pay $15o,00O,0O0 in
reparations.
That reparations claim is, of course, over
and above Soviet claims to German prop
erty" in Austria, phrase which Moscow
interprets as covering all former Austrian
plants and installations forcibly or fraud
ulently taken over by the Hitler regime
during Austria's union" with the Reich.
That union" has, of course, been declared
null and void by the Allies. And it is over
the Interpretation of Preparations" that
the Four Power delegates have wrangled
endlessly and futilely during the weary
months of conferences in London. Indeed,
there are sixteen other articles on the
treaty agenda where agreement has proved
impossible.
In view of all this, and especially because
of the raising Of the Yugoslav claim, the
British and American delegates declared
they could see no use in continuing
discussions while the Soviet delegate
persisted In his controversial and non

If Congress is to pass the proposed sales
tax for the District it will have to surmount
the old argument that it would be setting
policy to be followed by the States.
Legal experts and practical minded students
of city finance here say it has no bearing on
the case since Congress sits as "city council
for the National Capital. Yet, the hurdle will
have to be crossed. The old argument Is being
raised in advance of joint congressional hear
ings this week on new District taxes
There are reasons for disliking sales taxes
that are accepted even by sponsors of the pro-
posed retail sales levy but this is not one of
them Sponsors say this one is so out of date
and so far from fundamental considerations
it should be quickly discarded.
1t is contended by District officials and
numerous other advocates of the sales tax
plan that there is no other adequate and
practical means of raising an extra 5000 900
to $4,000 900 needed for next year. None,
that is, that would not cause grave hardships
on some classes Of taxpayers The exact
amount needed turns on whether a govern
ment pay raise Is to be added to the pending
record 1949 budget.
Many States Have 1t Now.
Twenty-seven, more than half, OF the States,
including Maryland and West Virginia and
OtHer NEARBY OJdCeS, d1TeaQy are using safes
taxes. Such laws, in fact, affect very con-
siderable portion of the United States area.
Therefore, advocates of this means Of solving
the Districts financial headache contend, 1t is
unreasonable to talk about District act of
Congress influencing the States
Also, they ask whether any District laws in
recent times at least, have been taken as State
models In most instances they insist, the
District has been behind the States in adopting
new State or municipal administrative policies.
The case Is put on a more fundamental basis
by Corporation Counsel Vernon E. West and
some members Of the District Committees in
Congress. They maintain that when Congress
legislates for the National Capital it does so
not as the national legislature but as "State
legislature" or as "city council" for this
particular metropolitan area and to meet its
own peculiar problems.
Il never could see the argument" said Mr.
West. that law enacted for the District
should be considered as a pattern for the
States The courts have held that Congress, In
action on District measures, was sitting as
State legislature"
Never Very Far Out Front.

Congress at times have sought to tfy out

No Right to Milk Monopoly

To the Editor of The STAR
The recent decision of Justice Keech throw
ing out the antitrust indictment against the
Maryland-Virginia Milk Producers Association
leaves the local milk consumer with feeling
of helpless Illustration. 1t seems unbelievable
that any Federal statute does, as MIR. Leahy,
counsel for the milk association, put it, grant
right to become a monopoly" to any group
with complete disregard for the public welfare
AS the Justice Department attorney asserted
Congress could certainly not have intended to
legalize illegal transactions" Any such leg
islation, which would so blatantly operate
against the public interest, would warrant i'm
mediate and serious investigation as to the
justice of its continuation.
The Capper-Volstead Act when read by the
ordinary layman, hardly seems to warrant the
Interpretation put on it by Mr.. Leahy. True,
it provides that associations of agricultural
producers do not by reason of being groups or
associations constitute groups acting in viola
ton of the antitrust laws However the Law
also specifies certain requirements which such
associations must meet, and Section obviously
forbids such associations from monopolizlng
trade to such an extent that the price of any
agricultural product is unduly enhanced by
reason thereof"
While it is likely that there may be diff
ference of opinion as to whether or not prac-
tices of any given association result in undue
enhancement of the price Of an agricultural
product, apparently sufficient cause had been
shown to justify an antitrust indictment
against the Maryland Virginia Milk Producers
Association by the grand Jury, and consumers
reioiced at an opportunity to have the facts
examined in the courts.
Moreover, in spite of Mr. Leahy's statement
to the contrary consumers in this area have
"squawked" on many occasions. and possibly
Mr. Derrick could enlighten him on this fact,
even perhaps recalling that as recently as
April l. 1947, the Department Of Agriculture
was called on by q consumers group to I'm
vestigate the monopolistic practices" of the
Maryland Virginia Milk Producers Association.
Mr. Leahy also referred to legislation which
had been passed to avoid price depressing sur
pluses for farmers, but 20 strong was the mo-
nopolistac positions Of hts clients. that early
