State Labor For SalesTaxRepeal; For Income Tax

Spokesmen for the Connecticut Federation of Labor and the Connec- ticut C.I.O. Council at hearing be- fore the State Legislatures Finance Committee in Hartford last week ad- vocated the "complete repeal of the sales tax legislation enacted by the last regular session." and proposed in its place state income tax with lib- eral exemptions and progressive rateS."
 Joseph M. Rourke, Secretary-treas- urer of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, argued against the sales tax and Mrs. Margaret Connors Driscoll, Legislative Agent of the State C.I.O. Council, presented reasons for the adoption of the state income tax pro- posal.
 ''We oppose the sales tax be- cause its burden falls most heavily on the lower income grOups-thOse least able to pay" declared Rourke. 'We oppose it as detrimental to the interests of the small merchant. We oppose it, because it discrim- mates against the merchants in the border counties of the state; it dis criminates against them in favor of their Out-state competitors.
 ''The sales tax discriminates against all Connecticut industry in their competition for the economic markets of the entire East. Thus it lowers the Connecticut production and income potential. In many of its aspects, the sales tax is easily evaded and can only be fully col lected if high sums are spent in its enforcement"

Civil Rights Again Backed By Court

WASHINGTON = (FP) - A steamship company cannot evade a state civil rights law by claiming it is engaged in foreign commerce, the US. supreme court ruled Feb. 2 in a 7-2 decision.
 The high bench, with Chief Justice Fred Vinson and Justice Robert lack son dissenting, held that the Bob-Lo Steamship Co. violated the Michigan civil rights law by refusing to take a Negro woman as passenger. The company claimed that in running to Bob-Lo Island, Ontario, it was out side the jurisdiction of the state statute
 Pres. Truman, in his civil rights message to Congress, stressed the need tor federal legislation to put com plete9 stop to company rules of the sort invoked by the shipping line. He said neither state nor private company off, clals should be allowed to circumvent the federal policy of non-discrimina- ton III interstate travel.

Newspaper Guild Backs ITU Fight

NEW YORK-(FP)-Full support to the Intl. Typographical Union (AFL) in its fight against the Taft Hartley act voted here by the execu- tive committee of the Newspaper Guild of New York (CIO).
 "The fight of the ITU against the Taft-Hartley act, the board and its union-busting general counsel is the fight of the entire labor movement" :" the committee said. NLRB injunction moves against the printers indicate the true intent of this act and con- firm the worst fears of organized labor" 1t declared.

NO INJUNCTION
 The unions case was made in a brief filed with the NLRB in an- swer to Denham's charges that the carpenters Chattanooga. Tenn, To- cal was guilty of conducting a sec- Ondary boycOtt-an unfair practice under the Taft-Hartley Act.
 ln the course of a dispute with the Watson Speciality Co.,, the union pie keted the company's store and with drew its members from construct tion job on which Watson employees were installing its products. An NLRB trial examiner has asked for a cease and desist order against the union Previously, federal court had refused to issue an injunction against the union on the ground that the action took place prior to the effective date of Taft-Hartley.
 BASIC RIGHTS
 Besides pointing out that the con- struction of buildings Is not itself a part of interstate commerce, the un- ions brief states that Congress may not prevent union men from selling or not selling their labor as they please" It may not force union men to accept a change in their traditional liberty to not work with non- -unionists.
 Denham argued that the very act of striking and picketing for such a cause constitutes an illegal attempt to "coerce" non-union employees.
 Building trades unions, who have long enjoyed closed shop conditions, are reported to have engaged in con versations with Denham to find me thod of conducting union shop cleo tions under Taft-Hartley. The NLRB prosecutor has admitted that elections among craftsmen on every construc- tion job is impossible.
 A solution may be found in di- viding the nation into 600 to 700 areas in which contractors have ha- bitually bargained with workers thru a trade association and con- ducting elections among workers in each craft on an area-wide basis. Even under such a scheme there WO0AO OC PAOOACAAS O1 WCCOAlAE Out transient workers from among those building trades workers eligible to vote.
 Such a program would involve a heavy expenditure of funds and cleri- cal labor, but 1t seems about the only way in which the I'll monstrisity can be applied to the industry
 Should the Chattanooga carpenters establish their contention that they are not engaged in interstate commerce the whole muddle will be avoided.
 ALSO CHALLENGED
 In California, too, the Amalgamated Meat Cutters-AFL has challenged an attempt by Denham to apply Taft Hartley to retail butcher shops. Sup ported by the California Federation of Labor the butchers maintain that in terstate commerce clearly ends before the retail store, even if the shops in volved are part of the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. chain.

Director To Be ChosenInM March. FundAppeaISoOn
State Leaders Called To Washington To Advise
 On National Policy

Miami-The administrative committee of Labor's League for Political Education ad- jOurned its session without taking final action on the ap- pOintment of a director to head the organization.
 A resolution adopted by the committee authorized AFL Pres ldent William Green and George Meany, secretary-treasurer, to proceed with the actual setting up of the league as functioning unit.
 MEET ON MARCH 9
 The resolution directed MT. Green and Mir. Meany to establish the leagues headquarters, employ the necessary staff, initiate appeals for funds and to proceed with organ izatiOnal details pending the final selection of director to head the political unit.
 At the same time, it was announced that the committee will convene in Washington on March Eth for the purpose of selecting the leagues di- rector and to consider other aspects of the leagues activities. At the same time, representatives of the AFL state federations of labor will be in- vited to confer with the committee concerning plans and strategy for the conduct of the political campaign.
 WHEELER OUT
 The avowed purpose of the league, which was authorized by the Goth an- nual convention of the AFL held last October in San Francisco, is to wage an unrelenting fight for the repeal of the Taft-Hartley law and the defeat at the polls of its supporters in Con greSs.
 Former Senator Burton K. Wheeler, nominated for the position as the leagues director by the AFL Execu- tive Council, conferred with the AFL leaders concerning the position. Fol- lowing the conference it was an- nounced that MT. Wheeler would be unable to devote full time to the task and that his name had been withdrawn from further consideration by the administrative committee.
 MT. Wheeler expressed the opinion that the AFL was making "a truly important contribution to better gov ernment" through the establishment of the league, and he volunteered to serve without pay as an advisory con- sultant to the new group.
 The coming meeting scheduled for March 9th in Washington will provide an opportunity for various state leaders to discuss with AFL national officials the status and ac- tivities of the state political Organi- cations which have been set up in a number of states. The exchange of information and experience will furnish both parties with valuable information concerning the conduct of the political drive to get out the vote this fall and to insure the de- feat of labOr's enemies.
 PLAN FOR FUNDS
 Funds for the league will be so1ic- ited as voluntary contributions from AFL members throughout the nation. AFL President William Green, elected as national chairman of the league, has stated that members will be asked to contribute $1 each to the leagues political war chest. Under previously adopted plans, half of this sum will be forwarded to the national organization and half will be retained for use in the state campaigns. The league will have power to allocate additional sums to states where the need exists.

 The ''boys'' are worried. The big. fat ''boys''-that is.
 And they're worried over the misleading picture the American public is getting of big business profits.
 The grand-daddy of all business organizations the Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers, in a series of ma. tional advertisements, has been running some hOmely comments ries on Where Do You Fit Into The Profit Picture? (Take a look at your paycheck for a quick answer. )
 Now here's the real picture the ads are trying to cover up.
 A New York Times survey of pro. fits revealed that industry hauled in an average increase of 98%o over I946. A breakdown of industries showed that:
 ** Ten leading steel producers scored 63% advance over '46 pro. fits.
 ** Six electrical appliance com. panies jumped 736 over 1946 pro. fits.
 ** Eight food compaines hauled in 24@o more than in l946.
 Seventeen petroleum compan. ies saw their profits leap 6O%.
 The list could be extended-bui the picture remains the same.
 And the $64 question now is: Where do you fit into the profit picture?"
 THE following advertisement re. gently appeared in the EIberton (Ca.) Star:
 NOTICE: This is to certify tha, l know the forked tongued, snake. eyed skunk that killed my Dober. man Pinscher dog in cold blood. certainly know the Judy Hole in the Savannah River where he took rock and tied it to him and sank him in 20 feet of water to keep the buzzards away so I could not find him. If the man will have the nerve to come to me and admit it, will give him $lO provided he is able to put it in his pocket when I ge, through with him. And I don't mean maybe"
 (Signed) 70. E. SMITH,"
 Average retail prices of foods as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the US. Department of Labor increased 2.8 percent from mid-NOvember to mid-December, according to Wendell D. Macdon- aid, Regional Director. This in. crease, based on the latest official figures, more than offset the de- crease of the preceding two months

ELKS TO ASSIST
SCOUTING PROGRAM

The 1,475 lodges of Elkdom,
representing some 100000 mem
bers, have adopted for the COM
ing year an aggressive plan to
sponsor and assist financially the
promotion of the Boy Scout pro-
gram, Senior Scouting and Club
! Scouting, especially in less priv
ilged districts and neighborhoods
according to an announcement
received by John W. Daley, ex-
allied ruler of Marysville No. 1130
from Lafayette A. Lewis, of Los
Angeles, newly elected grand eX-
allied ruler of the B. P. 0. E. In
this connection Colonel Charles
Spencer Hart, past grand exalted
ruler, h a b c n appointed to
represent the Elks on the Ma
tional civic relationships commit
tee of the Boy Scouts of America.
On a special trip to New York,
Mr.. Lewis conferred with DR..
Ebert K. Fretwell, chief Scout
executive for the United States,
Col. Hart and Cmdr. Thomas j.
Keane, U.SNR., national direct
or of civic relations of the Boy
Scouts of America, and developed
plans for Elk participation.
Already we have 800 lodges
of Elks sponsoring Boy Scout
troops and Cub Packs" Lewis
declared, but our goal is to
h ave every one of our l,475
lodges cooperate with from one
to three local Scout units. More
than one million boyS-nearly
100, ,000-reach twelve years OF
age each year an d 100000 OF
them indicate they want TO be-
come Boy NScouts. Yet only
100000 can be accepted because
of insufficient sponsorship. We
want to help provide Scouting
facilities for the 100000 left
overs and we mean to furnish
funds and offer many of our war
veteran ElkS as Scout leaders
and committeeman.
