c. Of 9. SpLif

For good red hot newspaper copy,
there's nothing like split in the ranks of
union. Stories like those get front page
treatment, preferably with pictures and
big headlines. If the paper has had ex-
perience, il sometimes runs the same story
two or three days in row with scarcely
a change in the facts.
On the other hand, you'll get the i'm.
preston from your daily papers that the
country's business organizations stan d
1000 united, sir, behind their lofty ideals.
So IT may please you to know that
there's been real, old-fashiOned, honest
to-goodness split in the ranks of the US.
Chamber of Commerce Well bet you
didn't read about it in your daily paper).
The fuss, according to the Congress
sional Quarterly, is over government
economy" The U. S. Chamber is all for
economy-and so il urged the Senate to
knock $500 million out of a 500 million
river-and-harbors appropriation bill.
But many local Chambers disagreed
particularly where Uncle Sam was pre-
pairing to spend dollars and cents in the
old home town.
If they succeed, Americas future lies
at their mercy.

rs Bucks Per Month

A fellow we know has decided-mOst
definitely-not to retire and try to live
life of ease on his Social Security pension.
He figured it out this way:
He could provide decent shelter with
his pension but would have to go naked
and starve to death.
A fairly good room in Washington, you
know, rents for S25 a month-the exact
amount of the pesion he would draw.
And 25 bucks a month is the average
now being paid retired workers under the
Social Security System.
That isn't enough, President Truman
said in a message to Congress the other
day. That's what the CIO has been saying
for a long time.
Back in 1885, when the CIO was born
and the Social Security Act was passed,
there were millions of persons who con-
sidered the SIS pension schedule was
reasonable one.
And maybe it was.
But today it takes nearly as much
money to buy basket as was required for
a basketball of groceries in those days.
The Social Security Act was amended
back in 1889 to make the pension pro-
visions more liberal.
1t should be amended again-tO make
it reasonable and realistic in the light OF
today's high living costs.
The "yes" which General Motors gave
to the United Auto Workers was sweet
music compared with the chorus of sour
mos" with which industry had been
meeting many of labor's wage increas re-
quests.
In agreeing to raise the pay of its
225,00O workers, GM accepted two i'm
pOrtant arguments advanced by the union:
/. Wage earnerS need pay hikes to
compensate for the increase in the cost of
living.
2. Workers should benefit financially
from the increased productivity of the
company which employs them.
Gaining recognition for these two
points was a victory in itself.
We think the UAW officers who re-
ported on the GM negotiations should be
commended for the fortnight manner in
which they attempted to show their MEM
berS-and the public-eactly what the
union was getting from GM.
victory but added that "it can be termed
They hailed the agreement as a major
a victory only in the context of tOday'S
economic and political reaction"
They said GM could and should have
made better settlement.
They stated they had accepted the pro-
posal for tying wage adjustments directly
to the Government cOst-Of-living index
"only because most of those control in
government and in industry show no sign
of acting in the public interest"
They stated they had acce pied the
They ended their report with, 'In spite of
of these criticisms of the settlement, we
believe that in accepting il the GM work
ers will be making a substantial cOntribu-
tion TO the economic health of the nation
and To the welfare of their fellow Amer
leans"
A number OF CIO unions have been
chipping holes in the mo wage hike" front
of industry-and there's god chance that
the UAW-GM settlement will break it
wide open.
II this happens, the JAW victory will
be of outstanding significance.

It goes to show you that the
women have what it takes to
put on something big. You
could tell that it was not just
thrown together as we had to
do at our last conference. We
do not want Detroit to get
ahead of us, so girls we must
put our whole heart and soul
on this thing and get busy
and start planning for our
next conference which is not
very far away. / guess you all

group for the lovely flowers
that was sent her while she

hope that you have a very
speedy recovery. Billy, and
that you will soon be back

Violet Spiller, one of our
good sisters of the choral
group, and also the trustee on
the women's committee was
admitted to the hospital last
Sunday. She was operated on

Washington
Labor Report

Democratic Party's candidate
to renew the lease on the
White House. 1t was almost
as certain that either Sen.
Robert A. Taft or Gov. Tom
Dewey would be his Republi-
can opponent.
Today no cagey gambler
would bet a nickel on the
lineup for the November
elections. What has happened
in the meantime?
Some of the leaders of both
parties began to get scared.
A few important" Democrats
did little quiet Gallup poll
ing of their own, and found
that Truman had, as of that
time, little or no chance of
beating any Republican except
Taft.
So they began to cast around
for a candidate. The almost
spontaneous Eisenhower boom
fitted in neatly. That Ike is
electable no one has ques-
toned. An extra incentive to
"draft" the General was pres
ent because number of top
leaders in both the CIO and
AFL were known to be for
him, and it is the labor vote
that the Democrats are most
anxious to hold. Without 1t
they're lost.
At about this point some
things began to happen within
the COP too. It's big-wigs had
known for some time that Taft
would not make a popular
candidate. And Tom Dewey'S
stock, as the Wisconsin and
Nebraska primaries have since
shown, was beginning to drop.
Ducking issues seemed a good
idea, but Dewey carried it so
far that people began to get
suspicious.
COP TOO
A few Republicans thought
they better find a General too,
and that modest hero Douglas
Macarthur threw his gold
braided hat into the ring. But
his boom was short lived. In
contrast to Eisenhower, Mac
Arthur strikes most people as
the perfect example of all they
fear in military men.
Almost by default, Harold
Stassen has zoomed as a real
contender for the COP nomi-
nation. Stassen's reputation
for liberalism in Republican
newspapers, is based upon an
interesting formula. It con-
sists of saying exactly what
conservative Republicans say,
and then calling it liberal
Republicanism."
Meanwhile, the Eisenhower
movement has slowed down.
Last week ike" let it be
known again that he isn't a
candidate - even though he
didn't say too flatly that un-
der no circumstances would he
accept.
The thing that has really
hurt, however, has been the
insistence by some skeptical
souls, like AFL President Will
liam Green, that after all we
don't really know what Eisen-
hower's program is. Not that
anyone doubts that he's nice
fellow with his heart in the
right place.
DOUGLAS TOO
Some trade union and labor
people have started to talk
about Supreme Court Justice
William o. Douglas. His lib
eralism isn't open to question.
A lot of the draft Eisen-
hover" steam migh hi be
be switched to him. Whether
or not he is generally popular
enough to beat out Truman
for the Democratic nomina-
ton, and then win the elec-
ton, is quite another point.
This is what Americans for
Democratic Action seemed to
have in mind last week when

A committee of the Organization
OF American States left last night
to investigate the dispute between
Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
The committee, travelling in a spe-
cial Army plan, will fly first to
San Jose, Costa Rican capital.
At the last minute, Juan Bautista
de la Vale Of Peru, chairman of
the committee, was unable to make
the journey because of poor health.
The four members who left on the
mission are: Paul C. Daniels of
the United States, Jose Mari Bello

and Luis Quintanilla of Mexico.
The committee declared In

no effort, confident that the spirit
Of brotherhood and harmony which
is the foundation of American

The committee will hold hearings
In both San Jose and Managua on
Costa Rica's complaint that she was
invaded from Nicaragua. The Costa
Rican government has invoked the
RIO treaty of mutual defense,
which became effective December 3.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Dec. II

pledged any support to invasion OF

Smith Attacks Move
To Restrict Power Of
House Rules Group

Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia, a veteran member of
the House Rules Committee, struck
back today at liberal Democrats
who are planning a fight to curb
the committees power to regulate
the fiow of legislation.
Mr.. Smith denied the recent as
sertion of Representative Eber-
harter, Democrat, of Pennsylvania
that "a few men" sitting on the
Rules Committee can, thwart the
will Of majority of the House by
not letting a bill go to the floor for
debate. The Virginian replied that
a majority of the House can always
get bill up by signing discharge
petition.
When Mr.. Eberharter announced
his fight to curtail the power Of
the Rules Committee, he wrote to
all members of the incoming Con-
gress appealing for support. In re-
plying to the Pennsylvania, Mr..
Smith also sent his letter to all
members.
In urging new members to look
at both sides of the question, Mr..
Smith told them that the Ways and
Means Committee, of which Mr..
Eberharter Is q member, has often
asked the rules group for "a closed
or gag rule for all of your revenue
legislation" Then the Virginian
added:
Speaking Of democratic processes,
majority rule and new look for
the Eighty-first Congress, are you
not reminded Of the Biblical ad-
monition: And why beholdest thou
the mote that is in thy brothers
eye, but considereth not the beam
that is In thine own eye"
Mr.. Smiths letter was q clear
indication that the conservatives in
the House will put up stiff battle
against any move by the liberals
to reduce the status of the Rules
Committee.
Virtually all major legislation
goes to the Rules Committee after
1t has been reported from a stand
ing committee, to determine the
length OF floor debate and the extent
to which floor amendments should
be permitted. Mr.. Eberharter wants
1t made possible to move for floor
consideration of any bill the Rules
Committee has failed to act on
after q reasonable time.
