to emphasize "self regulation" of

his continuing opposition to the act,

75c minimum wage will cut little
ice. Southern Democrats will join
Republicans in pushing a 65c bill

10-Universal military training.
Republican leaders consider this one
too hot to handle. Isolitionists will
join liberal legislators to oppose
it. Should it reach the floor of both
Houses passage is probable under
the whip of the powerful War
Dept Legion lobby. But
with elections coming up there's a
good chance it won't be voted on.

ships there would be fewer men en-
ployed at American repair yards.
In a letter to President Truman
last month, the CIO had pointed
out that there We're already over
100000 seamen and shipbuilders
idle in this country Both CIO and
AFL unions had also complained
about the transfer of American
ships to Panamanian and Honduran
flags in order to dodge American
taxes and wage scales.
Following union suggestions that
European shipbuilding should be
curtaiIed in the face of the steel
shortage, which has been making
it impossible to build American
freighters, the State Dept recon-
mended that steel going to Europe
be channeled into other than ship
production. This was not received
too we'll in England, but many
British groups pointed out that it
was not unreasonable considering
the aid program which the Ameri-
can people are being asked to un-
derwrite.

supporters will put up a fight, thi:
tine, for his Nov. 1947 ten-point
program. Only the most vigorous
of public protests against the h. c
of |. can result in the Republicans
going halfway towards it.
12-Last but not least-taxation
There's not one chance in a mil
lion that the Presidents flat sac
income tax reduction will be actec
upon. Odds on increasing corporate
profits taxes aren't much better,
What the President has achieved is
a situation where his partisans can
oppose the Republican "aid-the-
rich" bill without acquiring the
stigma of opposition to all tax cuts.
Comments on the Presidents pro-
gram have ranged from the respon-
sible statement of AFL President
William Green (who said "Presi-
dent Truman presented to Congress
a liberal program, calculated in
most respects to meet the needs
and desires of the American peo-
pie" commended his "strong reiter-
alton of his opposition to the Taft
Hartley Act" and pledged AFL
support to the "Social justice pro-
gram offered by the President'') to
the wild charge by Henry Wallace
that Truman "does not call for the
repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act"
Earl Bunting, MANS board
chairman, labeled the social well
fare portions of the message "an
appeal for more initiation" Sen.
Taft disqualified the Republicans
from kidding the President about
his "price controls involve the po-
lice state" crack, by coming out
with "a ten-year Truman plan
would leave about as much free
dom in this country as Stains five
year plan has left in Russia" and
accused him of bidding against
Wallace for 1abor votes"
Congressional reactions follow
ed set pattern. New Democrats
called the Presidents program a
return to the principles of FDR.
Conservative Democrats termed it
impractical, while Republicans
frothed at the mouth. Senate Re-
publicans who recognize the neces-
sity for establishing an on-the-sur-
face record of concern for the pub
lie welfare, will have not only Taft,
but the entire House COP leader
ship to buck. Hard tho it is to be-
Iieve, the Martin-IIalieck- -knutson-
Taft combine may find even Taft's
program on housing and education
too cleft"

Plant Employees
Pull Fast One On
Boss AT Buffalo

Buffalo, N. Y.-Although he has
on several occasions made the
statement that he knew everything
that went OH around his plant, Mr.
Robert Gould, familiarly known to
many of his employees as Bob, had
to admit recently that the above
statement should fall in the cate
CORY of beasts made by aspirants
of a political office.
Il know, now, where the express
sion that person is knocked
'speechless' comes FROM" Bob re-
veals in all article in the Pottery
Post, official plant circular, in des-
cribing his feelings as he was call
ed to the Glost Warehouse on Dec.
"a, and in the midst of all en-
ployees in the plant presented with
lounge chair, travelling bag and
framed parchment bearing mes
sage from his employees with their
signatures.
Recalling his feelings on Christ
mas Day as he sat by his fireside
in his brand new chair with the
wonderful travelling bag next to it
and looking at the very swell testi-
monial, he admits he found it very
difficult t. devour his Christmas
dinner because the surprise gave
him a great big lump in his throat,
making it extremely difficult to
swallow.
AS further proof to the FBI tao
tics of his employees, Bob's man
Friday, better known to all en-
ployees as Bum Evans, was in on
the little secret but had no inkling
that when the presentation was
made to Bob, he too was to receive
a gift and was presented with
beautiful pen and pencil set.
The gifts were pleasing and very
much appreciated, but it was the
thought behind the gifts that
counted most and always does.

ting the Democratic Party line
for the 194S elections. Few of his
recommendations for domestic pol
icy seem likely to become law. Con-
servative Democrats led by Sena-
tor Harry Byrd of Virginia are as
cool towards their progressive fea-
lures as is the Republican congress
sional majority. But this is the
''home" platform which Mr.. Tru-
mans supporters will take to the
voters in November:
1-Implementation of the report
of the Presidents Committee on
Civil Rights. The President will
send Congress a special message
requesting anti-lynching, anti-poll
tax and FEPC legislation next
month. Republican support for wat
cred down versions of these long
standing proposals is expected, but
its passage depends on whether or
not southern Democrats again re-
sort to the fihbuster.
"A revision of the social secu-
rity tax system, including higher
benefits and increased coverage un-
der unemployment and old-age in
surance laws and the Wagner-Mur-
ray-Dingell health insurance pro-
gram. Taft and friends will oppose
extended coverage and will offer
their own "dole" system of health
protection.
3-Federal aid to education.
An inadequate $300,000,000 appro-
priation has been approved by the
Senate Committee, and altho bot
tied up in the House last session is
given fair chance of passage.
Natural resource development
and conservation. Last years revolt
in the west has made the Republi-
cans willing to increase reclama-
tion and conservation estimates. A
severe power shortage in New Eng
land may result in approval of the
st. Lawrence Waterway project.

Carpenters Held Violating Labor Act;
Injunction Against Teamsters Upheld

Washington, d. C. ILNS) =
Gains in two cases were scored by
the National Labor Relations Board
in its drive to curb union activities
under the restrictive Taft-Hartley
labor law. The unions involved will
continue to contest the boards
campaign before the board itself
and in the courts.
In the first case, a, NLRB hear
ing examiner ruled that Local "a,
United Brotherhood of Carpenters
at Chattanooga, Tenn, had violated
the Taft-Hartley Act by calling its
members off home construction
job because nonunion employees
were at work on the same project.
Before the advent of the new law,
this had long been recognized as
Legitimate union action to defend
pay and working standards.
The nonunion workers were lay
ing floor and wall coverings in
house near Chattanooga and were
employed by firm which the union
had declared unfair to organized
labor. The union refusal to work
with the nonunionists was defined
as secondary boycott which is
outlawed by the Taft Hartley Act.
Board Examiner j. j. Fitzpatrick
made the ruling, the first for unfair
labor practices since the new law
became effective last Aug. %. The
ruling is subject to review by the
full board.
In the second case, U. S. Dis
trict Court Judge Stephen w. Bren-
nan at Utica, N. ", granted an
injunction to the NLRB on behalf
of two complaining employers in
the first court decision Of its kind
undey the labor law.
ITU Wins Point
The injunction restrains the
Teamsters Local 2S4, of Albany
from engaging in 6 acts Of alleged
ly unfair labor practices in a COM
plant filed with the NLRB by
Conway's Express Co., Pittsfield,
Mass. The NLRB charged the union
conducted secondary boycotts, fore
ed payment for services not rem
dered (featherbedding) and other
Il c,,I
under the Taft-Hartley law.
Meanwhile, the International
Typographical Union won a point
in its controversy with the NLRB
when trial examiner told General
Counsel Denham of the board to
ute specific cases where it is al
eyed the union refused to bargain
)r "coerced' employers.

New Anfi-L ubor
Front Organized

Milwaukee (LPA)-Behind the
curtain of anti-Communism Wis
consin labor baiters and some of
their out of-state allies have set
up a new anti-union outfit called
the American Unity Foundation.
More restrictions on union activity
and reduction of Federal taxes
and expenditures are its chief OBJ
jectives.
A membership drive has been
launched, with promotional litera-
ture containing such gems as "Our
bureaucrats are undermining the
greatest nation on earth The
American people are losing their
spirit of liberty, freedom, and
thrift" Polls for the benefit Of
Congress will be taken of the
memberships attitude on political
issues, and to make sure that they
come out right AUF reserves to its
board of directors the right to re-
ject membership applications from
"undesirables."
In addition to a collection of
Wisconsin's leading business and
American Legion patriots" the
board includes Fred A. Stare, Co
lumbus, Ohio, bank president and
former president of the Natl Can
ners Assn, and Arthur Sorenson,
president of the Confederated
Unions of America, whose life work
is the destruction of both AFL and
CIO.
A letter accompanying the pro-
motion material states: "Our pro-
testing as individuals has proven
a complete failure and therefore
the only hope of the American peo-
pie is the formation of a battalion
of millions of freedom loving AM
ericans as members of single or
ganization to actively support de-
finite legislative program to stop
the wrongs being perpetrated up
on the American people"
The legislative program has the
following six points: Outlaw
the Communist party, all Commun-
ist schools and Communist-front or
ganizations in America, 2-Outlaw /,
the employment of all members of
the Communist party and Commun
ist-front organizations in any ca
pacity on the government payroll.
3-Safeguard the democratic indie
pendence of members of labor
unions in strike votes and election
Of officers. 4-Stop the wave of
strikes that are under

ng and purchasing power of the
people. 5-Outlaw the

Senator Wagner, a member CT
the Joint Committee on Housing,
which is studying the shortage, its
causes and proposed solutions, is
expected to use the answers in his
fight for federal aid to comEluni-
ties for low-rent housing. He is
author of the -Ellender-W Wag-
ner long-range housing bill now
pending in Congress.
All OF Same Mind
Typical of the individuals who
said private enterprise had not pro-
vided decent housing Cor low-n-
come families were: James A. He'd
rick, mayor, Decatur, H.; c. Frank
Whitehead, mayor, Jacksonville,
Fla; Robert Hutchins, president,
University of Chicago; Arthur J.
Law, mayor, Pontiac, Mich, and
Barry Bingham, president, Louis
vile Courier-Journal, Louisville,
KY.
Randall M, Dorton, city manager,
Santa Monica, Calf, replied: "My
city has $500 families living in
slum quarters. / don't think private
can provide decent hous-
ing, old or new, for all of these
families at rents or prices within
their ability to pay. Building costs
here are approximately $40 per
square foot and land prices range
from $40 to $400 per front foot. |
favor, reluctantly, a provision of
publicly-assisted low-rent housing.
Santa Monica is in no position to
finance such a program"
T. C. Carroll, president, Broth
erhood of Maintenance of Way En-
ployes, wrote that he thought pri-
Jate enterprise could provide decent
housing for all at reasonable rates,
out Carroll also favored a program
If public housing.
Cities Can't Finance Programs
A report from Camden, N. j.,
aid that city had 1864 families
living in slums, but that the city |
ould not financially support a pub
ic housing program because it
vas over its legal debt limit, had
,een for years and would be for
! decade hence.
Nearly every mayor who return
ID the questionable said he fav-
red a federally assisted public
Iousing program, but reported his
ity was in no position to furnish
nnual subsidies for such housing.
A typical answer was that of c.
frank Whitehead, mayor of Jack
Fla.
1900 Slum Families
"There are 1900 low-income
in Jacksonville now living
4 slums," he wrote. "There appears
o possibility that private enter

uture to provide decent housing,
Id or new, for all of these fami-
es at rents or prices within their :.
bility to pay, since the middle in
