Antitrust Charge
LeveIIed At Decca

Washington LPA)-Decca Rec
ords, Inc, which has participated
in the recording industry's public
ity campaign against the American
Federation of Musicians-AFL, got
some bad publicity itself last week.
And it wasn't irresponsible propa-
ganda such as the corporation has
put out against the AIM either.
The Justice Dept charged that
Decca and its British sister COM
pany have engaged in conspiracy
and cartel agreements to restrict
the sales of phonograph records.
The two Decca companise and an
other British corporation, Electric
& Musical Industries, Ltd, have
planned the division of worldwide
record markets between themselves,
the Antitrust Division said.
"As a result of the conspiracy
and contractual arrangements al
legged in this case, for many years
the export of American records to
Europe, South America, and other
markets in which there is great
demand for American records has
been seriously restrained. The Bri-

of Labor has dispelled most of the
union and management fears con-
Icerning application of the courts
decision.
"Most collective bargaining con-
tracts with clauses concerning pre-
MUM pay for Saturday, Sunday, or
holiday work." he. said, twill not
have to be modified if the parties
wish to continue existing practices.
The basic question in the long
shore case was whether the "over-
time" rates set forth in the con-
tract between the East Coast long
shore industry and the Internation-
al Longshoremen's Association con-
Istituted an Overtime" payment un-
der the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The court decision in favor of the
employees Immediately created a
certain amount of confusion among
unions and arrangements since they
did not know to what extent the de-
cision should be applied to their
particular collective bargaining sit
uation. ~

|Non-Union M an
Selected For
kiIIen'S Job

Washington (UPA)-A former
US Employment Service employee,
Chester w. Helper, who admits that
he has no background of trade
union experience, was appointed
last week to he'd up General Doug
las MacArthur's labor division in
Japan. Helper replaces James S.
Killen, vice president of the Pulp,
Sulphite & Paper Mill Workers
AFL, who resigned because of Mac
Arthur's edict to the Japanese gov
ernment terminating the right of
civil servants to bargain collective
ly.
Not only have the japanese gov
eminent workers been denied the
right to strike, but the right to
equal status at the bargaining
table has been taken away from
them, reports from Tokyo indicate.
A new government order, issued
after a memo from Macarthur was
received by Premier Ashida, states:
Representatives of civil servants
will hereafter be permitted to state
their wishes to the government, but
not on a basis of equality" A
Temporary Personnel Commits
sion," which will "look after the in
terests of the workers altho it is a
purely governmental body", re-
places the arbitration machinery of
the Central Labor Relations Board,
as the body to which government
employees may submit their grie-
vances.
At the time of his resignation,
Killen stressed that contrary to the
assertions of other occupation force
officials the issue was not the right
of government workers to strike,
but whether any genuine collective
bargaining procedures would re-
main open to them.

Dixiiecrats Bored
With FiIibuster

Washington (LPA)-The Dixie
Gratis had quite a time last week.
AS their filibuster limped on, they
led an unsuccessful attempt to have
Congress adjourn in the middle of
the week. Gov. j. Strom Thurmond
opened his presidential campaign
at watermelon festival in Cherry
vile, N. C. and Rep. L. Mendel
Rivers 3D., S. c. asked the House
to remove Judge j. Waties Waring
from the bench. Waring is the fed
eral judge who ruled that Negroes
be permitted to vote in the Demo-
cratic Party primaries.
The South Carolina Democrats
have reacted to the Judges decision
by digging for scandal in his per-
sonal life and asking Congress to
investigate his conduct in office" +"
Rivers told the House: "Unless he
(Waring) is removed there will be
bloodshed." Sen. Burnet Maybank
3D., S. c. hurriedly crawled out
of any responsibility for Warnings
nomination, saying that it was the
idea of his senior colleague, the
late "Cotton Ed" Smith. Smith, be-
ing dead, couldn't push it off on
anyone else. Waring dismissed Riv-
ers' speech as "silly, childish raw
ings".
In his opening campaign speech,
Gov. Thurmond, also of South Car
olina, hit out at the Presidents civil
rights program. He said that a fed
eral Fair Employment Practices
Commission would make private
business a thing of the past.
"Unless a man is willing to hire
the kind of people the FEPC tells
him to-" Thurmond maintained, "he
must go to Jail. Tom Dewey has al
ready set up the FEPC in New
York state. Harry Truman is de-
manding that the so-called civil
rights be forced upon every state.
And Henry Wallace is the daddy of
them ALL"
The vote to adjourn Congress be-
fore any legislation at all could
be passed drew only 13 ayes, all
southern Democrats. Even five
Dixie Senators wouldn't go along
with it.

Fishermen Still
Thinking 1t Over

Tampa (LPA)-Florida fisher
men are cautious fellows, southern
organizers have learned. Back in
June 1947, Charles Cowl, Florida
organizing director, wrote an in
dependent fishermen's union urg-
ing anglers to affiliate with CIO.
He enclosed self-addressed
stamped envelope.
Last week-more than year
later-an answer was received in
the ClO office. 1t came in the same
self-addressed envelope. But the
fishermen still aren't rushing
things. They want more informa-
tion and a little time to think it
over.

Textile Workers Win New
Gains In Cotton And RdYon
With &c To l6c Boosts

Washington UPA) - NLRB
members last week received a de-
served rebuke from Emil Rieve,
president of the Textile Workers.
Rieve challenged the board on its
decision in the Kimberly Clark Co.
case, in which the board ruled that
TWUA, which has been bargaining
agent for the workers, can't appear
on an NLRB Ballot, because the
local hasn't complied with Taft
Hartley's non-Communist affidavit
requirements.
In a letter sent to each of the
five board members, Rieve said
that the boards implication that
TWUA is fronting" for a non
complying local is nonsense. He
pointed out that TWUA bars Com
munists and fascists from office.
No question of "evasion of the law
can possibly be involved.
The international union, Rieve
reminded NLRB Chairman Paul
Herzog and his colleagues, was one
of the first to comply with the
Taft Hartley provision. 1t, not the
local, is certified as bargaining
agent at the Kimberly-Clark mill
as it is in many other instances
Placing the contractual obligation
on an international union is view
ed by many employers as well as
unions as an effective means Of
developing stable industrial rela-
tions.
If the board carries this inter.
probation of the law to its logical
conclusion, Rieve remarked, it will
have to overturn many union shop
authorization polls it has conduct
ed in the textile industry and other
tlaGes where only the international
union has taken the trouble to fill 2
asfidavits.
Finally, Rieve said: Forcing all
local unions to file under the act
would impose huge burden of use
less paper work on both unions and
the NLRB." This is not the first
time the NLRB has been caught off
base with its inuendoes that inter
national unions are fronting" for
non-complying locals. A few months
ago Chairman Herzog had to apollo
gize to the Oil Workers Int'l Union
for such a crack when in fact the
local for which the international
was in compliance with Taft-Hart-
ley.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-08-12
Taft-Hartley Filing Declines

Washington (LPA)-Local and
international unions generally find
it necessary to file the Taft-Hart-
ley laws non-Communist affidav-
its, but they don't have to like it.
Last month four more internation-
al were ''in compliance" than in the
previous month. The number of To-
Gals filing advanced too. But the
number of locals that have pre-
viously filed but failed to keep their
data current has fallen off by 1856.
This doesn't mean that the Commu-
nists are taking over the labor
movement. 1t just means that union
men don't like to bother with Taft
Hartley paper work when they
have pressing business before the
NLRB.

Your Pocketbood
Won't Feel Relief
In Living Costs

Washington (LPA)- Your cost
of living isn't going to go down
one bit because of the "anti-infla-
ton" measures taken by the spec
ial session of the 80th Congress. 1t
may make it a little harder for
reckless consumers to go too far
into debt by installment buying.
That's about all.
The forces of organized labor
were almost the only ones to brave
the sweltering heat of Washing
ton summer to put up strong dis
play of support for the general
outlines of President Truman's an
ti-inflation program.
AFL President William Green,
CIO Secretary-treasurer James b.
Carey, President H. w. Fraser of
the Railway Labor Executives
Assn, President A. F. Whitney OF
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, all wired Senate and House
leaders demanding time to be heard
on housing and of-living ques-
tions.
The union action came after the
COP leadership four days before
the end of the special session, an
nounced to the public the kind Of
anti-inflation legislation it sought.
When it came down to an actual
anti-inflation law, the final meas
ure passed contained two major
provisions. One sets limits on in
stallment buying much like those
in effect during the war.
The other increases the reserve
requirements of banks, and has
been approved in principle by the
Administration, the Federal Re-
serve Board, and many liberal eco
nomists as well. However, these
liberal economists insist that it's
no miracle-worker, and can only
curb initiation if it's linked with
price controls, rationing and allo-
cations Of scarce materials, and
other steps listed by President Tru-
man in his message to Congress
at the opening of the special ses-
sion.
The key vote on the anti-infla
tion bill in the house found three
COP members voting against the
