Strike Vote Is Called
Al General Motors
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT. April 28.-The first
step toward strike action against
General Motors Corp.-one target in
the CIO United Auto Workers cur
rent wage drive-was sanctioned to-
day.
UAW delegates from 100 General
Motors plants agreed unanimously
at a session yesterday to ask a strike
vote among 250,000 GIN workers.
They had been called to study the
unions present wage talks with
General Motors begun March 12 The
UAW is demanding an equivalent
30-cent hourly pay Increase, which
would include group insurance and
pension plans.
The delegates decided to direct
a strike vote in the locals TO be COM
pleted by midnight May %. The
conference also acted to extend the
JAWS contract with the big cor
poration, due to expire today.
Delegates to the national GIN
bargaining committee were instruct
ed to give notice to the corporation
of the termination of the contract.
The pact can be extended by a

Taft Again Brands
|Stassen New Dealer
BY the Assoeioted Press

DAYTON, Ohio, April 28.-Sen-
ator Taft again hung a New Deal
tag on Harold E. Stassen and head
ed back into industrial Northeastern
Ohio where the former Minnesota
governor has campaigned inten-
sively.
Mr.. Stassen is contesting for %
of Ohio's 50 Republican presidential
delegates in the May 4. primary.
Mr.. Stassen, Senator Taft said in
a talk here last night, 'has spoken
all over the country for the past
two years, but he has never taken
any vigorous position against the
basic New Deal principles of spend
ing and Federal control-the policies
which are the heart of the New
Deal and would lead to a COM
pletely regimented state.
Since Mr.. Stassen has hardly
ever mentioned the Importance of
economy in Government or the
independence of local self govern
ment, he has not really excited any
opposition from New Dealers, and
he has today the support of nearly
all the columnists and writer's who
supported Mr.. Roosevelt"
Asked by a youth how much of a
showing Mr.. Stassen will make in
the Ohio primary, Senator Taft
replied amid laughter from the
audience:
Il am willing to answer questions
but not to make prophesies."
Senator Taft speaks at Wooster,
New Philadelphia, Alliance and Cam

Toledo tomorrow for a days cam

Bridges and Van Horn
Meet With Lewis
On Pension Plan
By jones Y. Newton

Trustees Of the United Mine
Workers welfare and retirement
fund are scheduled to meet again
late today to talk over the stymied
Bridges plan to pay $10o monthly
pensions to soft coal miners.
John L. Lewis is to meet with
Ezra Van Horn, representing the
mine operators, and Senator Bridges,
Republican, of New Hampshire at
4 pm.
Senator Bridges is the author of
the plan that led to the settlement
of the long mine strike over pen
sions. His plan calls for 500
monthly payments to miners 81 and
older with 20 years service.
Van Horn Files Suit.
But Mr.. Van Horn has filed suit
in District Court to void the paw
ments. He did not agree to it in
the first place and has asked the
court to hold Senator Bridges and
Mr.. Lewis personally liable for any
expenditures made from the well
fare fund.
Meanwhile. there were reports
that Senator Bridges may quit as
trustee if he becomes convinced the
pension issue is leading to a July l
mine strike.
The Senator was silent, but those
close to the trustee talks said he
appeared to feel that the operators
want to throw the whole tangled
dispute into new contract
negotiations with Mr.. Lewis, per-
haps to give them an additional bar
gaining point. The present UNIV
operator contract expires June 80
UNIV Under Injunction.
Mr.. Lewis and the UNIV are now
under Taft-Hartley Act Injunction
against resuming the six-week
walkout over the pension issue
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough grant
ed the injunction after fining the
union and its president $1,420O 900
for ignoring another antistrike order.
But most lawyers believe the in
junction would not prevent strike
over new contract.
At the meeting today, Senator
Bridges and Mr.. Lewis may go
ahead in setting up machinery for
paying pensions, leaving actual pay
mentS until later.

BY the Associoted Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April %.
Philip Murray, CIO president, said
today Wall Streeters are hell-bent
on depressing the living standards
Of Americans"
Il predict the present program of
so-called price decreases is going to
have no effect on living costs in the
United States" Mr.. Murray told the
fifth biennial convention of the CIO
Textile Workers Union
Mr. Murray said he could not see
how the Government, in aiding Eu-
rope and spending $4,000 000, 900 for
defense. can hope to avoid increas-
ing prices in the absence of
control of essential commodities.
He called the recent reductions in
steel prices "diabolical and hypo-
critical" He said the United States
Steel Corp. could have reduced
prices by $7O,O0o,o0O instead of $685.

Rieve Given Power Over Strikes.
Mr.. Murray reiterated the United
SteelworkerS Union, of which he
also is president, would observe con-
tractual agreements and not strike
despite the steel industry's refusal
to grant wage increases.
The power to call strikes within
the textile union was removed to-
day from subordinate organizations
and concentrated in the hands of
Emil Rieve, the general president.
The action was taken in a reSolu-
ton that amended the unions con-
stitution. 1t drew protests from
many delegates in an hour-long de-
bate The resolution was approved
by voice vote.
MIR. Rieve told the unions fifth
biennial convention he agreed with
all protests to the change, but he
was advised by his legal staff the
change was necessary under the
Taft-Hartley Act.
A spokesman for the union, who
asked not to be identified by name,
said a two-year- old CIO drive to
unionize the South has been some
what of flop.
We're honest enough to admit
it. he said.
The spokesman made his state
ment after Mr. Rieve told the con-
vention yesterday "the results of the
drive in terms of members and new
contracts has been poor.
$4,000 of $4,000 in South.
OF $1,000 new members added to

$4,000 we're in the South, the spokes-
man said. This brought to 10000
the number of members claimed by
the union in the South.
The unions total membership OF
100000 represents about one-third Of
the employees of the textile industry.
Most nonunion textile workers are
in the South.
Mr.. Rieve blamed "the forces Of
Southern reaction" for stalling C1O
unionization.
Every weapon, including race
hatred and religious bigotry has been
used against us by the Southern re-
actionarieS," Mr.. Rieve said. And
when We we're able to win an elec-

ployers in many cases refused to

and certain dairy products.
Farmers should diversity more
in 1919, get out of debt, putting
surplus money into savings and
prepare for real trouble some
day.
10. The supply of certain veg
etableS and fruits should in
crease during 1949. The price of
these should fall off, barring
some weather, insect or blight
catastrophe.
II. Poultry and dairy products
will also increase in volume
during 1949, prices averaging
less than 1913 prices.
IL. Farmers will continue to
work for extensions of subsidies.
The above four Farm Forecasts
assume normal weather. A
drought could upset these.
Taxes
13. The Federal Budget will
not be decreased during 1949.
ID. Federal taxes will not be
decreased during 1949, but there
may be some readjuStments to
encourage venture canita1 and
to ease, the tax burden on

Is. We forecast that an at.

taxes.

unchanged. y

be remembered that during
these depression years most en-
ployerS had no profits WhatSo-
ever. We forecast that profits
will continue to be regulated
automatically by the law of
supply and demand, rather than
by the government.
80. At some time during 1949
we forecast that the point will
be reached where the nations
inflated money supply will have
become fully employed. Hence,
emphasis may shift from eff
forts to stop initiation to efforts
to halt deflation.
Stock Market
33. 1949 may not be a better
year stock market wise than
1913, investors will especially get
out of stocks of companies
which have most of their as
sets in big, vulnerable in case
of war" cities, reinveSting in
companies whose assets are well
distributed and safe from at

"a. The Administration will
not want the DoW-JoneS IN
dustrial Average to 20 too high
on account of the consequent
effect upon labor's demands.
Commodity speculation will con-
tinue to be curbed. T..
35. The wisest will not try to
pick any special winners" in.
1949; but will diversity broadly.
Those who have too many
stocks will gradually build UP
good reserves, in cash or Coy
ernments, for the big break
which will come some day.
Careful buyers of stocks will
insist on making full payment
and avoid borrowing during
36. Safe dividend paying
stocks will be in greatest de-
mand, especially if double tax
alton on dividends should be
eliminated.
Bonds
81. We are definitely bearish
! on low-coupon-rate, long-term
taxable bonds as money rates
will gradually increase.
38. If Congress should exempt
dividends from double federal
taxation, 1949 will see a further
falling off in the prices of Ger
tain taX-eXempt bonds.
80. We forecast no change in
the nations monetary policy re-
lating to credit control and in
terest rate during 1919.
40. Investors will give much
more attention to diversification
in 1949 and will try to have
their bond maturities either
fairly short or staggered.
Real Estate
Al. City real estate will con-
tinue to hold firm through 1949,
due to less available retail space
caused by pulling down struc-
lures to save taxes, provide
parking spaces, etc. There also
is a disinclination to build new
city property in view of the
present high costs.
AZ. Suburban real estate will
continue in fair demand during
1949 although there will be some
shading Of prices.
43. Big commercial farm acre
age will sell for less during
1919; but subsistence farms, To-
Gated close to established COM
munities, will hold up in price.
"A. General building will de-
crease during 1949 although the
cost of building may decline a
little. The quality of workman
ship will improve.
As. Both office and resident
ial rents will be higher in 1949
Only as property owners are
granted higher rentals, will
there be enough houses to rent
Is. Mortgage interest rates
during 1949 will continue about
the same as in 1948. ANY
