AFL 5AIL0R5' UNION MAKES LABOR MOVE
Would Invade Territory of CI0 Marine Cooks and
 Stewards Union

SEATTLE. Oct 26.--R-- The AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific moved here today to invade the territory of the CIO Marine Cooks and Stewards Union.
 A petition filed by the SUP with the National Labor Relations Board asked an NLRB election on the right to represent Stewards aboard Alaska Steamship Company vessels.
 The company. only major ship ping line left in the Seattle Alaska trade, manned it's ships with CIO stewards before the West Coast maritime strike Sept. 2. All op- erations have been halted since that time.
 Ed Coester, local business agent for the SUP. said that 75 percent of the 600 steward department members sailing on Alaska vessels prior to the strike had signed pledge cards signifying they desire AFL representation.
 In reply. Joseph Harris. Seattle business agent for the Marine Cooks and Stewards, charged that the move Ifs just another attempt to organize behind our picket lines.
 We will combat this attempt with all the means at our com- mand," he said. Tt will be up to the NLRB to decide whether an- other union can claim employees of "a company when there are no employees working
 Thomas P. Graham, regional NLRB director. said field ex- aminer will be assigned to deter mine if an election is warranted.
 In the event that an election ~ ordered, the CIO Stewards Union presumably would he barred from the ballot because NLRB machin- cry can not be used by unions whose leaders have failed to sign non Communist affidaviats under the Taft Hartley Act.
 Hugh Bryson. head of the CIO Stewards, has refused to sign such an affidavit, whereas Harry Lunde- berg president of the SUP, has complied.
 The SUP is not on strike, but it's members have been idled by the West Coast tie-up. CIO maritime unions walked out 54 days ago in support of wage demands, hiring hall control and other issues.

TRUMAN AND
 DEWEY HIT

President in Chicago Last Night-Governor Talks
 There Tonight
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 The Presidential Specials streak down the home stretch today as Gov. Thomas E. Dewey followed President Trumans trail into the big cities hunting victory votes for next Tuesday.
 The Chicago stadium provided the setting for both candidates opening addresses in the final week of cam paign oratory. There last night MT. Truman im- piled that a dictatorial form of government might result from Re- publican victory in the November ? election.
 There tonight the COP presiden- tial candidate will discuss what the three great clements of our coun- try-labor, business and agriculture have a right to expect from their government"
 MT. Truman, meanwhile, wa S headed for Cleveland for the second of the six major addresses that wind up his drive to retain the presi- dency.
 Fight For Government
 The Democratic standard bearer told his Chicago audience the cam paigp is more than a battle between two parties. Tt is a fight for the very soul of the American govern nient," he said.
 "In our own time," he added, i've have seen the tragedy of the Italian and German peoples who lost their freedom to men who made promises of unity and efficiency and secur- ity."
 And it could happen here,' MT. Truman said
 Everywhere I go," MT. Truman said, T hear news and see faces that make me know the tide is roll ing for us.'
 We are sweeping toward victory, he confidently proclaimed
 Dewey was reported equally confi- dent as he set out last night for the windy city.
 Following his Chicago speech, Dewey will head his special tram for Cleveland, Boston and back to New York for his final campaign talk Saturday night in Madison Square Garden.
 Henry Wallace brought his pro gressive party drive back to New York after Jersey City speech in which he urged that the United States and Russia abandon stiff necked pride" and quit their petty jockeying for advantage in an atom ic armaments race

Sad as it may be, the days of the "give-

the Federal Communications Commission.
Not in long time have contest-loving
Americans had greater reason to cry alas.
For what the FEC has done is to serve

or listener is chosen by chance to be asked
a question whose correct answer brings
fabulous reward Unless they can be
made to meet the FCC's newly proclaimed
standards, there will be no more of them.
Such programs-spreading largesse at
the rate of about $15O0OO monthly-have
become one of the phenomena of our
American way of life. The question in
volved may be something like this: What
famous man, whose initials were G.. W.,

Pentooon Squeeze PIuy

The preliminary Injunction granted 1he
Capital Transit Company in the Pentagoh
ioint-fare muddle serves to emphasize tne
Might of Government employees across the
river who must rely on buses for trans
portation to and from their homes IN
washington. The three-judge court mas,
for the time being relieved the company
from the intolerable squeeze being appneo
to 1t by opposing regulatory agencies But
now the employees are feeling squeeze OF
another sort-on their pocketbooks.
The Injunction does not, OF course, settle
the main question involved in this ex-
traordinary case That question Is Wnetner
the Interstate Commerce Commission is
within its legal rights in continuing 10
assert fare-fixing authority over the Capt.
tai Transit Company. now that its bus
lines no longer extend to Arlington. Thls
authority was not contested wnen the
company's buses, as war emergency
measure. crossed the Potomac to serve
the Pentagon, Navy Annex and Air Force
offices at the National Airport. That was
interstate commerce" beyond doubt
But the ices insistence on continuing to
assert this authority after abandonment
of the Capital Transits Virginia service Is
challenged by the company and by the
District Public Utilities Commission.
Under the terms of the injunction, the
transit company will be able to comply
with the conflicting orders OF both the
ICC and the PUG. 1t will obey the 1CC
order recurring it to continue the toint-fare
arrangement with Virginia buslines, but,
at the same time, it will collect three cents
In addition to the cut-rate seven-cent
ticket Thus. until the case has been
finally decided, it will be able to obey the
PUG mandate that it collect full ten
cent cash fare for all bus passengers in
the District-regardless OF where they
work
This means that Pentagon and other
Federal employees in Arlington will have to
paw twenty cents cash or sixteen cents
under the joint-fare plan each way,
manifestly too high bus fare in many In
stances for the mileage covered. Many
of these employees ride no farther and
some of them ride even shorter distances
than the average ten-cent bus ride IN
either Washington or Virginia.
The whole trouble in this controversy is
that there is no regulatory body with un-
contestable powers to act The District
commission has no authority over fare
rates to Virginia And it properly ques-
tions the authority of the 1CC to fix fares
for buses that do not move in interstate
commerce. There should of course, be
some agency to which the issues in such
borderline case could be taken. Only the
creation by State compact and with Fed
eral approval of a new commission, with
Jurisdiction in utility cases affecting more
than one community within the Metro
politan Area, offers any real hope for
permanent solution Of these recurring
problems.
