Merge Threatens
Small Brewers

New York (LPA)-The govern
ment should not overlook the dan
|gerous trend toward monopoly in
the brewing industry, a representa-
tive of the small brewers warned
last week.
John Il. O'Neil, general counsel
of the Small Brewers Assn told a
meeting of beer wholesalers that
altho twice as much beer is being
produced as in 1888, the number of
breweries in operation has declined
from 696 to 448 during the past
fifteen years.
He said that the same trend to-
wards monopoly thru merger of
small, ard-pressed businesses with
the giants i'm their industries which
the Federal Trade Commission has
noted in the economy as whole
is prevalent today in the brewing
industry.
The wholesalers were cautioned
that III tney don help out tne small
breweries they too will soon be-
come just "hired hands" of the big
beer makers. A virtual monopoly
already exists in the liquor indus
try, and the making of domestic
wines is increasingly in the hands
of few large grape ranchers,
O'Neil declared.
Excise taxes work against the
small brewer, the distributor and
the public O'Neil explained. The
tax raises the price of the poor
mans beer, percentage-wise more
than it does that of the so-called
premium beers made by the big
brewing companies.

lekes Challenges
Candidate Dewey
On Power And Oil

Washington (LPA) - Harold L,
Ickes, Secretary of the Interior un-
der FDR, last week asked COP
presidential candidate Thomas f.
Dewey to clear up his vague stand
on several important issues. Dewey,
to date, has not picked up "the
lexis" challenge.
1-Ickes asked the New York
Governor to declare where he stood
on return of tidelands oil rights to
the states. If Dewey acknowledged
that the tidelands rightfully belong
to the Federal government, Ickes
further asked whether the funds
from them should be used to pro-
vide Federal aid to education.
2-Is the little man with the
derby for public ownership and
operation of power transmission
lines?
3-Does Dewey approve cuts
made in reclamation projects by
the 80th Congress? And if so,
which ones 'FYou have sponsored
enthusiastically and without reser-
vation," Ickes complained, "many
Republican members of the 80th
Congress, whose principal interest
seem to be recklessly to exploit
what remains of our national land
ed estate"
4-The Old Curmudgeon asked
Dewey whether he thought irrigat-
ed lands should be limited to fam
ily-sized farms rather than allowed
to become land monopolies.
He asked some more questions on
conservation of natural resources.

Atomic Energy Commissioner
David E. Lilienthal protesting the
blacklisting of two CIO unions,
United Electrical Workers and
United Public Workers, fr m
atomic installations without prior
consultation with the interested
parties or with responsible officials
of the CO."
''I am certainly not unmindful of
the security considerations which
must Of necessity be ever present
in the activities of the Commits
sion," Murray stated ''The letters
released by the Commission, how
ever, go far beyond the require

He added that the Supreme Court
has not yet passed on the consti-
tutionality of the Taft-Hartley af-
fidavits which Lilienthal protested
that the two unions had not signed
''In view of these circumstances,
he concluded, 81 wish to record my
strong objection to the action taken
by the Commission and urge that
the Commission reconsider the de-
termination which it has made in
connection with this matter"
In a reply to Murray, Lilientha
pointed out that whatever the out
come of the Taft Hartley court
case, the loyalty of the UE officers
involved would still be open to SER

Lilienthal also replied to UE

WORKERS EDUCATION PROGRAMS
IMPORTANT TO JAPANESE UNIONS

Tokyo (LPA)-On the eve of his
departure after three years serv-
ice as director of labor education in
Japan, Richard Deverall reviewed
the activities of his branch of Gen
eral Douglas MacArthur's occupa-
ton force and said: Labor educa-
tion will loom as one of the most
constructive contributions to Jap
anese democracy made by the oc-
cupation.
The newness of japanese union
ism, after more than a decade of
! totalitarian rule in Nippon, made
| the development of educational pro-
grams for the labor movement of
even greater Importance than else
where, the former United Workers
CIO education director pointed out.
Deverall resigned after Mac
Arthur's withdrawal of collective
bargaining rights for nearly two
million public employees forced the
resignation of his chief, James Kill
len, vice president of the Intl Bro
therhood of Pulp, Sulphite & Paper
Mill Workers-AFL. Killen had been
chief of the labor division at Mac
Arthur's headquarters. The once
waning influence of Communists in
the Japanese unions has increased
since the PRONUNCIATION of the Mac
Arthur decree.
Unionism itself is a "school of
democracy" in an awakening Japan,
Deverall said. He regretted, how
ever, that some unions which were
subject to Communist control had
refused to adopt a real education
program for their members. In all
japanese unions preoccupation with
political and theological questions
has hurt educational efforts, he
said.
However, Deverall was able to

TIL Law Has Its
Ups And Downs In
Miehigan's Courts

Detroit (LPA)-Enforcement of
all but one section of Michigan's
little Taft Hartley law, the Bonine-
Tripp act, was resumed by the
state Labor Mediation Board last
week, after the state Supreme
Court clarified an earlier decision
which had branded the entire law
unconstitutional"
Unions thruout the state had re-
ioiced when the court ruled out
that. section of the law requiring
circuit judges to serve on arbitra-
tion boards for labor-management
disputes in hospitals and public
utilities. The court had declared
that this provision was so enmesh-
ed in the law as to make all other
sections unworkable without it.
The Mediation Board, however,
appealed the ruling and the court
revised its earlier decision SO that
the other bad features of the law
still plague Michigan workers and
union leaders. These include: pro-
visions regulating mass picketing,
banning jurisdictional strikes, for
bidding picketing at private resid-
ences, requiring state-conducted
strike votes, and fines and jail sent
ences for any union member vio-
lating these provisions.
Meanwhile, Circuit Court Judge
Theodore ]. Richter held the clause
calling for a strike vote unconstitu-
tional. This decision stands until
ruled otherwise by the State Sup
RENE Court.
G. Mennen Williams, Democratic
candidate for Governor, who has
both AFL and CIO support, is on
record for complete repeal of the
law, which was passed by Repub-
lican legislature last year.

point to an impressive list of union
educational programs now under
way in Japan.
Deverall spoke of the encourage
ment to democratic trade unionism
which American union men who
have visited Japan have rendered.
He mentioned President Willard
Townsend of the United Transport
Service Employes-CIO, Secretary
Treasurer Irving Kuenzli of the
American Federation Of Teachers

director of the Int'l Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union-AFL.

security standpoint"
Acc had ruled that the General
Electric Co. could not recognize
UE as bargaining agent at its new
Knolls atomic power laboratory in
Schenectady, N. Y. Unless the UE
officers are cleared, Lilienthal
warned, the Commission intends to
ban them at other GE installations.
"The assertions in your letter.,
Lilienthal told Fitzgerald, "do not
even begin to answer the serious
question that has been raised con-
cening the absence in various Of
the UE officers of the requisite ad-
herence and loyalty to the interests
of the United States. If the officers
of UE desire, the Commission will
afford them every opportunity to
participate in a fuller exploration
of this issue. 1t should be under
stood, however, that the Acc would
expect the UE officers to be pre-
pared to give full and candid state
ments concerning present or past
affiliations of any kind with the
Communist Party or Communist
dominated organizations. In addi-
ton, the same personnel data will
be requested of the UE officers as
has been furnished by employees
and by various officers of other un-
ions who represent employees in
the atomic energy program"

j. KroII Predicts
Truman Victory
In Buckeye State

Washington UPA)-PAC Direc-
tor Jack Kroll, himself an Ohioan,
predicted last week that President
Truman will carry the Buckeye
State, with its 25 electoral votes.
Kroll based his prediction upon
reports received from Ohio PAC of
registration in the states major
cities. The PAC director pointed
out that COP nominee Thomas f..
Dewey carried the state by only
10000 votes in 1914. In that year
100000 fewer people went to the
polls than in 1910 when President
Roosevelt won the states elector-
al votes.
State PAC Secretary-Treasurer
William Lavelle reported that reg
istration is at an all time high in
Ohio industrial centers. Cleveland,
for example, is 5000 over its pre-
vious record and Cincinnati nearly
$1,000. The Akron area exceeds it's
former top by $4,000 registered
voters, while both Youngstown and
Toledo are over their old marks by
better than 10000.
Total registration for the state
may exceed 100000, Lavelle re-
ported to Kroll. The old record was
3,319,912, when FDR carried the
state in 1910.
One of PACs most effective reg
istration drive stunts was to dis
tribute cards reading "don't strike
out on election day" to crowds at
the pennant-winning Cleveland In
dams baseball stadium. 1t also per-
suaded the brewery that was broad
casting the play-otf final games of
the American League team to carry
registration spot announcements as
a part of its program.
The Cleveland Union Leader,
weekly labor paper endorsed by
locals in the area, won praise from
Lavelle for its help in the registra-
ton campaign. PAC blockworkers
rang door bells while airplanes
trailed banners over the city.
In Toledo PAC concentrated on
the big plants organized by the
United Auto Workers. Daily motor
cades brought workers to registra-
ton offices at the end of the day.

Drive Renewed To
Kill Wages-Hour
Law In Congress

Washington (LPA) - The UH
Chamber of Commerce has renew
ed its drive to take the heart out
of the Fair Labor Standards Act
That's the effect of two decisions
reached last week by it's Board OF
Directors.
The C of C voted to actively
support remedial legislation" which
would seriously alter the wages
& hours law, to get around a Sup
RENE Court ruling on overtime on
overtime"
However, the Chamber also in
structed it's lobbyists not to let the
Overtime on overtime" issue stand
in the way of more sweeping
changes in the law which currently
requires a 40c-an-hour wage floor,
and payment of time-and-a-half
rates for hours worked over 40, for
industries in interstate commerce.
The Supreme Court has been
asked to re-hear the Overtime on
overtime" case in which some New
York longshoremen sued for time
and-half pay for hours worked
after 40, even though this was not
the practice established in the un-
ion-management contract.
Meanwhile, Senate Labor Sub
committee headed by Sen. Forrest
Donnell (R., Mo- is opening hear
ings on the question of changing
the Fair Labor Standards Act here
on Nov. Is.
"We're going to tell the DonnelI
subcommittee that the law ought
to be amended to improve it," ClC
Counsel Arthur Goldberg told LPA
eve want the minimum wage sci
at 81 an hour. We're opposed tc
this attempt to undermine the Faii
Labor Standards Act with so-calleC
amendments that are designed tC
go exactly counter to what the
Supreme Court intended the ruling
to do.
"This is bad Legislative practice
This Supreme Court ruling is no
thing new; it reinforces what the
Wages & Hours Administrators
have been doing all along"
The AFL will certainly appear
before the Donnell subcommittee
Legislative Representative Walter
Mason said. "We are certainly go
ing to oppose any amendments tC
the Fair Labor Standards Act" he
predicted, especially any coming
from the Chamber of Commerce
Mason predicted that the amend
ments may take the form of a bill
introduced at the last session by
Sen. Alexander Wiley (R., Wis.
and Rep. A. l.. Goodwin Or.
Mass.).
These amendments to the law
under the pretense of "remedying'
the Supreme Court ruling, serious
ly altered the form of the wages
Il hours legislation.
Mason pointed out that the Ex-
ecutive Council of the AFL at its
last meeting voted to petition the
Supreme Court for a re-hearing OF
the longshoremen's case, and that
AFL Counsel Herbert Thatcher hao
filed a brief before the Court be-
gan its winter term last week.

HOW ABOUT BIGGEST
ISSUES, GOV. DEWEY? ?

Washington (LPA)-How many
more startling ideas does COP
candidate Tom Dewey have in the
back of his head, unmentioned in
campaign speeches, but ready TO
be brought out if he succeeds in
reaching the White House?
That's the question puzzling la
Dor, publication of the rail unions,
in its leading editorial last week.
Along with the Taft Hartley law,
labor asks these questions of the
Republican hopeful, as the election
drive moves into the home stretch:
where does he stand on hous-
ing? Where does he stand on
power? Where does he stand
on cost of living? Where does
he stand on taxation ?"

URGES UNIONIZATION

Saranac Inn, n. Y. UPA)-Lib-

Delaney of the Domestic Relations
Court told meeting of the Ameri-

week. Urging the 500 Librarians to
fight for higher salaries and better
working conditions from street cor
ners if necessary, he said, Before
we had unions in this country there
was more violence in industry than
we find today. Unless we band to-
gether we get nowheres fast"
