jority appeared to accept Denham's
point of view.
In addition to Ball, such potent
union haters as Sen. Robert A. Taft
(R., Ohio) and Rep. Hartley (R.,
N. j., the authors of the law, and
Rep. Clare Hoffman (R., Mich.)
are members of the committee.
Ball and Taft are on record
against any revisions of the law
at this time, though Taft has said
that he would vote for resolution
modifying the ban against
political activities by unions. Hart

to recommend to the Committee

Strike Is Set For March 18th
Unless Demands Are Met

19c, but the company branded this
compromise figure "still eXorbitant
and unrealistic.
Helstein declared that union sur
veys show that most workers are
spending so per cent or more of
their earnings for food, and still
their families must undergo four
or five meatless days week.
"We are willing to continue ne
gotiations with the companies" the
UPWA president said, "altho it is
apparent from our previous meet
ings that they are unwilling to give
any realistic consideration to the
serious economic needs of the pack
inghouse workers"
Should industry stubbornness
force the strike, the nations avail
able meat supply will drop so per
cent within a few days, with east
coast cities suffering most. Federal
conciliators have been endeavoring
to settle the dispute. Requirements
of filing strike notices with the
government and the companies
have been complied with.

u. S. Cannot Compromise

This is the most important fact
to remember in relation to the
"cold war" with Communism:
- The United States cannot COM
'romise; only the Reds can COM
Promise.
And the reason is this:
The United States is defending
freedom against aggression and
the aggression is both territorial
and theological. Freedom can win
or lose. 1t cannot compromise, be-
cause there is no such thing as half
freedom.
Issue Is Freedom
The Reds, Communism, Russia
use whichever term you like-can
compromise, or can back out en-
tirely, losing nothing; losing neith-
er security, territory nor home ide-
ology, if you care for that term in
connection with things communis-
tic.
To whatever degree the United
States might back down to that
extent the nation would be NOV
ing toward defeat. The issue, so
far as this country is concerned,
is not political, in the sense of
being Democratic or Republican.
The issue is the free life of the
whole people of this nation and
of every other nation whose peo-

Atlanta, Ga. (LPA)-Too busy
reporting the new squirt of activ-
ity by the Ku Klux Klan, which by
a full-dress demonstration intimi-
dated Negro voters in the Johnson
County Democratic primary, the
daily press services ignored an i'm
portant development showing that
not all of the south ignores Ameri-
can principles of civil rights.
More than 400 white and Negro
southerners, representing labor,
church and civic groups in all parts
of the south, last week urged en-
Iactment of federal FEPC legisla-
tion, federal minimum wage law,
and theu Sc of the job seniority
clause in labor-management con-
tracts.
The southwide meeting on civil
rights was sponsored by the South
Iern Regional Council in cooperation
with the CIO, AFL Georgia Work
ers Education Service, and eight
other organizations.
The findings of the meeting de-
clared: eve stand for equal op-
portunity to be employed, with
opportunity for advancement ac-
cording to ability and skill" The
statement added, Greater economic
justice would contribute nightly
to safety and security of the per-
SON.. Discrimination within the
federal government itself was criti-
cized, and the President was urged
to set up fair employment agency
for government employees.
Paul D. Williams, of Richmond,
Virginia, president of the Southern
Regional Council said in his open
ing address that the conference
was a non-political attempt to put
into operation at the grassroots"
respect for individual human rights.
Boris Shishkin economist for the
AFL, was a key participant in the
discussions. At an evening meeting
at Atlanta University, he told a
large mixed audience that individ-
uals could best protect their eco
nomic rights by joining together
in effective organizations.
The conference recommended
that a federal anti-lynching law
be enacted that police brutality be
combated by greater PROFESSIONAL
zation of law-enforcement bodies,
and that local citizen groups take
up the responsibility for proper re-
gard of civil rights in their COM
munities.

GLAMOR

The little black beauty patches
are again back in style, having been
revived to wear with the newest
fashions.
You can buy the little package
of black court plasters in star, tri-
angle, clover, crescent and heart
motifs.
The leading New York design
ers are showing these tiny beauty
marks with their new summer col
lections. The models wore them on
their shoulders with decollette eve
ming gowns, or just below the cor
ner of one eye, or next to dim
pie on the chin.
But if you take to wearing them,
watch out that the patch won't call
attention to your bad points. They
will focus attention on your com
plexion as well as the good fea-
ture you are pointing out.
Then there's another type of
court plaster that isn't designed to
wear in public. They say it actual
ly helps prevent frowns and scowls

Washington (LPA)-Despite its
Iktotal inactivity to date, the Joint
yCommittee of the Congress on La
bor-M Management Relations is eX-
pected to issue a report by the
middle Of March, re-endorsing the
Taft-Hartley law, and commencing
the performance of the NLRB in
administering it.
The Joint Committee, under the
Taft-Hartley Act, is charged with
conducting continuing studies on
employer-employe relations, and
particularly on the administration
of the Act. So far it has conduct
ed no public Investigations.
Last week the committee, under
the chairmanship of union-baiting
Sen. Joseph Ball (R., Mimi had
a secret session with the five MEM
bers of the NLRB, and NLRB Gen
eral Counsel Robert Denham.
Some difference of opinion is
said to have been demonstrated be-
tween Denham and the majority of
the Boards members. Denham fav-
ors a strict Interpretation of the
letter of the law, in its full anti

Chicago (LPA)-President Ralph
Helstein of the United Packing
house Workers warned last week
that 100000 workers in the meat
packing industry will walk out on
March 16 unless the big-four pack
ers and Is Independents meet
union pay-raise demands.
The union is seeking a 29c-an-
hour raise for all production and
maintenance workers in the indus
try. 1t points out that while the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics has COM
puted that a $1.39-an-hour wage is
necessary for the support of a
family of three, most packinghouse
workers are making less than $1.10
an hour.
On the other hand, Helstein said,
the big packers had a net profit be-
for taxes of $144,000,0C0 last year,
and are able to pay better wages
without increasing meat prices.
In preliminary negotiations with
Swift & Co. the union has shown a
willingness to reduce its demand to

pie either posses freedom or as
pire to freedom.
There you have it, without frills.
Unfreedom is the assailant. Free
dom is the defender.
1t is the kind Of issue that once
joined is joined for keeps, or until
freedom is completely safe from
threat.
Thus we have the reason for tax
ing a completely serious view of
what is happening in Europe and
for complete preparation for what
ever steps may be necessary for
the safeguarding of freedom.
Free peoples do not give up their
freedom while they have any pow
er at all for its defense.
u. S. Can't Back Down
Russia can cease attacking free
dom and thus insure peace. 1t
ought to be the job of the United
Nations to defend freedom and to
restrain aggressors against free
dom.
If Russia does not cease attack
ing and if the United Nations can
not or does not restrain, the war
goes on-either cold, or hot. That
is what we have to understand.
To repeat: Freedom canont com
promise. The United States cannot
back down.

Fight Against Plan
To Enforce Civil
Rights Is Pressed

Washington (LPA)- The fight
for and against the program of
civil rights legislation proposed by
President Truman-who got them
from bipartisan commission
which included AFL and CIO
spokesmen in its members = was
still heavily peppered with pre-
November election activities last
week.
In Virginia, a water-downed YER
sion of Governor Tuck's election
bill, which would have kept Presi-
dent Truman and any new parties
from the ballot, was on the way
to passage. 1t would still keep Tru-
mans name off the ballot unless
the Democratic state convention
chose him, or independent Tru-
man petitions were circulated and
filed. Truman could not appear
under the Democrat label unless
the Byrd machine which controls
the state changes its views on the
President.
\ The southern governors confer
ence meets March 13 in Washing
ton, to discuss Democratic Natl
Chairman Howard McGrath's re-
fusal to back down from the Tru-
man civil rights report. Democratic
Natl Committe Treasurer George
b. Hamilton of Atlanta has re-
signed in protest of McGrath's ac-
ton.
Meanwhile, Senator Lister Hill
and Rep. John Sparkman of Ala
bama have announced their candi-
dacy for delegates-at-larg to the
Democratic national convention in
state primaries May 4, on plat
form of supporting President Tru-
man but opposing the civil rights
program. Both Hill and Sparkman
have announced that they are op-
posed to any secession of southern
Democrats from the national party.
Republican-sparked civil rights
Legislation on Capitol Hill made
the following progress last week:
1.-The Senator Labor Commit
tee formally reported favorably the
bill against discrimination in en-
ployment. "Let it be clearly under
stood" the committee majority OF
five Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis said, "that this bill has for
its purpose equality of economic
opportunity only There IS
nothing in the bill concerned with
anything other than equality of
economic opportunity"
2-The House Judiciary Commit
tee has approved the anti-lynching
bill, and this week awaits clearance
by the House Rules Committee. 1t
is expected to reach the floor be-
fore the end Of March.
3-The Senate Rules Subcom-
mittee approved the anti-poll tax
bill without hearings, and the
measure is now before the full
committee.

COUNSEL FOR TIL LAW southwide Meeting
GIVES UNIONS 4 BREAK Backs FEPC And

Washington UPA)-When the
facts of industrial life are recog-
nized by Robert N. Denham, gen
eral counsel of the NLRB, and chief
watchdog of the Taft-Hartley law,
that's news. And when these facts
lead him to take position favor
able to the rights of labor, that's
enough for an extra edition of any
union paper.
Bombarded by complaints from
unions that the boards electoral
machinery is moving much too
slowly, and warned by his own
staff that the spring contract re-
negotiation season will find the
Taft Hartley Act a major barrier
to collective bargaining, Denham
has found a way to expedite things
somewhat.
He stated last week that altho
the Taft Hartley law states that a
union shop contract cannot be en-
forced without an NLRB poll dem
onstrating that a majority of the
workers covered want union secur-
ity, nonetheless a union shop clause
may be included in a contract pend
ing. the balloting.
This means that unions may go
ahead with plans to write the union
shops into their contracts, but the
union security clause must be made
conditional upon the results of a
board-conducted election.
Union shop elections are being
conducted at the rate of 1900 a
month, but the board hasn't been
keeping up with workers demands
that their unions be granted prop
er protection. Procedures in NLRB
regional offices will be improved,
Denham stated, in an attempt to
enable the board to conduct cleo
tions in average size plants within
three weeks of the filing of re-
quest.

No formal endorsement was

much valuable storage space, send
them to Golfers School for Boys,

The children who attend this
school cannot take their place in
regular public schools because Of
some handicap. These boys have a
particular use for Christmas cards
and other type greeting cards. They
are taught to utilize and conserve
all materials, minimize waste and

tasks these boys accomplish assist
in removing their handicaps and
help adjust them to a more normal
