Major Changes In
Social Security
Sought By A.F.L.

Cincinnati UPA) - Improve
ments all down the line in social
security were demanded in a pro-
gram adopted by the AFL conven-
ton. Major changes sought by the
AFL from the next Congress will
be these:
1-Extension of old age and sur
vivors insurance to include all
wage earners and self-employed
persons; material increase" in all
benefits; liberalization of retire
ment tests so as to permit eligible
persons to continue part-time en-
.ployment with out jeopardizing
benefit rights, and finally, an in
crease in payroll deductions of en-
ployes and employers to finance
the program.
2-Permanent and temporary
disability benefits to include pro-
visions for retraining and rehabil-
itation.
3-Health insurance-this to be
broad enough to provide not only
for the costs of medical care and
service, but to include construction
of hospitals and health centers,
training of medical personnel, and
development of research.
Am ultimate federally-control-
led unemployment insurance sys-
tenn, and meantime, federal stand
ards to eliminate "jokers" in state
laws which strip many unemploy-
ed workers of benefit rights.
5-Expanded aid to needy aged
and dependent children.

Continued SocioI Coins Objective
Before 18th Annual Conference
Washington, ID. C. QLNS).

Washington, ID. G. (lLNS). -
Looking toward the future is the
keynote of the 18th annual confer
ence on labor legislation, in the u.
S. Department of Labor auditor
ium Nov. 80, Dec. l and 2, with
Secretary of Labor Maurice j. To-
bin presiding.
Besides observing its 18th birth
day by summing up accomplish
ments in the past in the form of
social gains made in the various
states, the conference this year is
regarded as one of the most inn
portant in its history with an eye
to the convening of legislatures in
Al states in 1949.
Over 40 States Represented
Delegates from more than 40
states, including state officials and
representative of labor organiZa-
tions, have accepted invitations to
attend. The governors of the 48
states were asked to appoint these
delegates.
The annual conference on labor
legislation was originally set up
in 1888 under the direction of then
Secretary of Labor Frances Perk-
ms. Much of the social legislation
enacted in the states was passed
in the first or 5 years after these
national conferences were estab-
lished.
1t is expected that the delegates
will continue to urge the passage
of social legislation in the states
while opposing sany further enact
ment of antilabor legislation. The
committee ON state industrial re-
lations at the 1947 conference re-
commended that the delegates go

CHICAGO TYPOS STRIKE.
ENTERS SECOND YEAR
AS NLRB STILL SNIPES

Indianapolis LPA) = One OF
Americas most militant labor or
CARNATIONS, the Init Topographic
al Union, has just passed the first
anniversary Of one of the nations
longest and toughest strikes-on
the daily newspapers of Chicago.
1t has also been perhaps the
costliest single strike in the coun-
try's history. Benefits paid to
strikers and other expenses of the
Chicago struggle were estimated
by the union at close to $4,000, 900.
The dispute was described as the
most glaring example of the evils
of the Taft-H Hartley act. Had it not
been for that law, union leaders
pointed out, the strike would never
have occurred.
Solidarity among the strikers is
as strong as ever, union spokesmen
declared. The men are determined
to hold out, they said, until the
publishers come thru with a settle
ment that preserves long-establish-
ed union standards and safeguards
of the 'typos."
Chicago was picked by the Am
erican Newspaper Publishers Assn
as a "guinea pig" in the battle
against the typos" leaders of the
union charged. The ANPA hoped
the union would be undermined in
the Windy City and left in such
weakened condition as to be a prey
to publishers elsewhere. 1t hasn't
turned out that way.
President Woodruff Randolph re-
vealed that all told-in Chicago
and elsewhere-the union has spent
almost $9,000,000 for self-defense
since enactment of the Taft-Hart-
ley act and it is prepared to spend
millions more, if necessary, he said,
to prevent publishers from cripp-
ling the union.
The union has been able to carry
on its bitter fight thru a So pay
roll assessment on all members,
voted in a referendum.
Altho the Int'l Typographical
Union-AFL has cleared itself of all
contempt Of court charges, NLRB
General Counsel Robert N. Den
hams office last week let it be
known that so far as the board is
concerned there'll be no let-up in
the persecution of the union.
Judge Luther M. Swygert, who
last March issued a Taft Hartley
injunction against the ITU, had
President Woodruff Randolph and
lTU lawyers in his court again last
week, along with Denham's assist
ant Winthrop Johns. After quizz-
ing the union spokesmen he ruled
that "it would appear" that the
lTU is currently abiding by his
decree.
Then Denham's boy Johns rush
ed into the breach to make sure
that Swygert wasn't calling off
the NLRB's campaign against the
typos. Denham is afraid, Johns
said, that some ITU locals might
interpret recent executive board
negotiating instructions in such
way as to violate Swygert's origin
al Taft Hartley ruling. He said
that Denham doesn't really approve
the contract clauses that the judge
had just approved.

AT. |. Aims To
Restore Role OF
Labor Department

Cincinnati (LPA)-One of the
top aims of organized labor, the
9th AFL convention made it clear,
will be to bring about the complete
rebuilding of the Labor Dept,
which was butchered by the last
Congress.
The convention called for "res-
toration of all divisions severed
from the Labor Dept" as well as
the transfer to that department of
labor bureaus and functions now
scattered among other agencies in
Washington.
A demand for adequate financ-
ing of the department so it can op-
crate effectively was also included
in the convention resolution.
Particularly encouraging in that
respect was a surprising speech
that Oscar Ewing, Federal Secur-
ity administrator, gave to the con-
vention. It's rare that a govern
ment official will say he has func-
tions which should go elsewhere,
but Ewing did just that and he got
a big hand from the convention
for doing so.
GAS soon as possible, my own
Federal Security Agency should be
permitted to return the United
States Employment Service which
the 80th Congress so ruthlessly
tore out of the Labor Dept last
spring." Ewing declared.
"Our agency should also be per-
mitted to turn over to the Labor
Dept the division of unemploy-
ment compensation.
when these things have been
done, the Labor Dept will again
be able to serve our labor groups
in manner somewhat more near
ly what they deserve"

Grain Spectators
Lobbyist Indicted

Washington (LPA)-A former
member of Congress, Roger c.
Slaughter, Missouri Democrat, was
indicted last week for failing to
register with Congress as a lobby
ist. Slaughter, who was defeated
in the Democratic primaries two
years ago after President Truman
accused him Of obstructing Adj
ministration measures, claimed the
indictment was just a political
grudge fight.
Slaughter is charged with work
ing successfully for four grain or
CARNATIONS, to obtain the defeat
of US adherence to the interna-
tional wheat agreement, the defeat
of bill requiring increased mar
gins for commodity exchange spec
ulation, and passage of legislation
ending the power of the Commod-
ity Credit Corporation to buy or
lease grain-storage facilities.
The ex-Congressman is liable to
maximum penalty Of one year
Imprisonment, $4,000 fine, and
barring from all lobbying acti-
vities for a period Of three years.

hearty from his stay in Key West

of Blair House, his home while the
White House is being renovated. A
common sight in Washington these
days is Truman walking briskly
down Pennsylvania Ave. on his
way to the White House office
wing, while passers-by look twice
to see if that's who they think it
is crossing the trolley tracks.

Swygert yielded to Johns plea
and assured him that he would
grant "a prom hearing" to any
future NLRB complaints against
the ITU or any of its locals.
Union lawyer Henry Kaiser made
the point that the NLRB's concern
about possible hypothetical hap
penings in the future is entirely ir-
relevant" But Swygert overruled
him.
Ignored too by the judge was a
statement by President Randolph
that he would urge all locals to in
terpret contract clauses in light of
the courts decision.
