Has Taft Law Cut Strikes :? Morse Says No
COP Senator Says Anti Labor Drive Sure To
 Come

Taft-Hartley Act supporters have been parading a new line of prOpa- ganda lately-namely, that the de- cline in strikes during the past six months proves that the law is a Success"
 That argument was pretty well wrecked this week by Senator Wayne L. Morse, progressive Republican from Oregon. He denounced the politicians" who have been making that claim. He didn't name them, but it was clear from a militant speech he made on the Senate's floor that he had in mind Senators Taft and Ball, ill particular.
 ''Just because two phenomena occur in the same time period it doesn't necessarily follow there is any cause-and-effect relationship, Morse declared.
 As an example, he cited the fact that employment and prices rose dur ing the six months. Should the Taft Hartley Act be credited for that also?" he asked.
 One of the major reasons that rela- tive industrial peace prevails today is that "union-busting" employers are holding back on use of the law to smash labor, Morse said. They're waiting for more opportune time, he pointed out.
 "They are following the advice of some great manufacturers aSSocia- tions and chambers of commerce who spent so much money to propagandlze the people in support of the Taft Hartley bill during the weeks of the debate on the measure" he declared
 In substance, he said, "the instruc- tions which are going down the line to employers" are these:
 ''NOw is not the time, boys. to make the fight. Just let things sleep for while. Have test here or there but don't rock the boat right now. Give us a chance to spend few more millions of dol lars by way of propaganda opiates with which to becloud public opin- ion into thinking that maybe, after all, the Taft-Hartley law is not as bad as it really is.''
 Why are the anti-labor forces issu- ing such instructions Because, said Morse, they know that the time of a battle usually makes the difference between victory and defeat.
 ''They know that the battle against labor which they hope to win, offers better chances of suc- cess if they carry it on when a re- cessiOn begins, when this infation- ary cycle of boom and bust goes into the bust period, and men un- employed start walking the streets. >
 That's when anti-union employers will start using the law i'll a big way to weaken and crush unions, Morse warned. The result, he predicted, will be large-scale industrial warfare.
 There's only one way to avert such strife, he insisted-and that is, to re- peal the Taft-Hartley Act and start afresh.
 As the law stands now. he said, it's bound to lead not only to bitter indus trial struggles, but to a return of government by injunction" and to a rash of damage suits by employers who want to wreck union treasuries. Ironically, he added: ''As long as this fulI-employment bill for lawyers remains on the statute books, the litigation which will flow from it should remove any fear of economic insecurity from law school students who plan to specialize in labor law"

Behind The Scenes In
AMERICAN BUSINESS
BY KNIGHT

NEW YORK-Parcel post by air,
authorized inthe closing sessions OF
the last Congress, will effect a saw
ing of from one to six days on the
delivery of packages
Moreover, the $4,000, 900 in reve-
nues anticipated by postal authori-
ties during the first year of its use
will do much toward improving the
financial position of the airlines,
Heavy parcel post shipments also
could be reflected in order for adj
ditional airplanes.
The new service is expected to 60
into effect on September /. Rates
will range from SIS to 30 cents a
pound, depending on the distance.
This is against the regular parcel
post rate of eight to 16 cents a
pound.
The theory is that, as the volume
of air parcel post is increased, prices
can be revised downward. But pos
tai officials have been instructed by
Congress to keep the new air service
on pay-as-it-goes basis.
Post Office authorities hope that
air parcel post also will help lift
air mail payments out of the SUBJ
sidy class.

transport, July IA is the tenth an
niversary of Howard Hughes famed
round the world flight. The west

it by preparing to resume flight

airplane. The aviation industry will
be watching these tests closely for
portents of progress to come, for
Hughes major projects have a habit
of pioneering important advances.
For instance, the global flight in
1888 was the first where long range
radio communications were main.
tanned with the ground over such
distance and the precision and lack
of incident, with which the flight
was made, constituted the greatest

| up to that time, according to top
| authorities. Airline reservations out
of New York spurted by $50 per
| cent Immediately after the flight.
Innovations pioneered in that flight
have since become standard and
commonplace. Similarly, the first
Hughes-designed plane, the famed
HI, which returned the worlds land
speed record from France to the
United States, had many innovations
that later became standard.
With Hughes having voluntarily
gambled more than 100000 of his
own money in the Governments
