Altho Wallace and Baldwin both

Wallace Party Worried
BY Declining Strength

New York HPA)-Behind the
disagreement between Progressive
Party campaign manager c. B.
(Beanie) Baldwin and candidate
Henry Wallace over support Of lib
eral Democratic Congressional can
didates stands one fact which poll
tician Baldwin is worried about,
but which candidate Wallace does
MT want to face. The appeal Of the
Wallace movement is on a sharp
decline, union men working for
Truman here declare, and due
largely TO the efforts Of organized
labor the chances of President Tru-
mans reelection are a lot better
than the Republican press likes to
admit.
The Gallup poll reported last
week that even before his trip thru
the state, President Truman has
increased his percentage in Cali
fornia from 35 to al in the past
few weeks. He has pulled 2% of
the voters away from Wallace, 39s
from Republican Thomas E. Dewey,
and has won the support Of one out
of nine Californians who a few
weeks ago hadn't made up their
minds whom they're going to vote
for.
If the trend continues he can
carry the state, which next to New
York was supposed to be Wall
aces stronghold, and one of the
states where the Wallace campaign

Thomas Says New
Party Necessary

greatest need is a "great mass cleo
toral party, a peoples party, def
nitely concerned with winning
plenty, peace and freedom, not for
one class or one race or one nation,
but for mankind" Socialist Presi-
Dental candidate Norman Thomas
declared this week. The Socialist
leader was addressing the 200-man
administrative council of the Mec-
hanics Educational Society of AM
rica-unaffiliated.
Thomas said that the trade un-
ion movement can rightly be proud
of its accomplishments. at has
been the major force in rescuing
the workers from the horrors of
the industrial revolution. 1t has
done more for true freedom and
true dignity of the individual than
most political states" the veteran
radical asserted.
While pointing to the Importance
Of free trade unionism under either
capitalism or democratic socialism,
and pointing also to the importance
of consumer cooperatives, Thomas
emphasized the Importance of
new democratic party of workers,
farmers, and professional people
for the solution of international
dilemmas and "the problems of
domestic well-being in which the
modern state is so deeply involved" "
1t is to encourage the founda-
ton of such a party that the Soc
ialist party is. running its own tic
ket this year, he explained. Thomas
added that trade union leaders who
are thinking about forming a new
party at some future time will be
more likely to continue their inter-
est in the project if there is "A large
Socialist vote now.
While characterizing the Repub-
lican party as definitely the party
of big business" Thomas said that
Truman has acquired a certain
liberalism of intention, but he can
not purge his own party and does
not dare to actively oppose those
Democrats who voted to override
his veto of the Taft Hartley law"
Thomas made it clear that what
he calls the Wallace Communist
coalition is not the kind of party
he favors. He recalled that when
he was helping organize the South
ern Tenant Farmers Union, now
the Natl Farm Labor Union-AFL,
and Wallace was Secretary of Agri-
culture, Wallace refused to inter-
vene to assist the sharecroppers.

ave Not Worried
By SIander Suit

Washington (LPA)-The Amer
lean Veterans Committee; liberal
labor organization of World War
III veterans, wasn't disturbed last
week by the threat of John Gates,
editor of the Daily Worker, official
Communist paper, that he'd sue
the vets for slander and libel.
On the previous weekend the ma
tional executive committee of AVG
expelled Gates from membership
on the grounds that membership
in the Communist Party is incom-
patible with membership in AVG"
The committees resolution cited
Communist party "texts" to prove
that it does not believe in AVCs
democratic principles, and that
Gates joining AVG was part of a
Communist campaign to "infil-
trate" the liberal veterans outfit.
The executive committees vote
was 16 for custer, one opposed and
one abstaining. The one member
who voted "nay" did so not out of
sympathy with communism, but on
the grounds that the organizations
Forthcoming national convention
should first pass on an amendment
unequivocably barring Communists
from membership.
The one abstainer was Morris
Pottish, New York lawyer who is
candidate for Congress on the
American Labor Party (Wallaceite)
ticket. He was Gates attorney in
the hearings which preceded the
committees action. Pottish pro-
claimed that he will carry the mat
ter to the floor Of the AVG con-
vention in November in an attempt
to vindicate Gates and the Com
munist Party, and overturn the
present. liberal anti-Communist
leadership of AVG.
There was no doubt in the minds
of most of the committees men,
bership that AVC's repeated policy
statements against Communist tao
tics and detectives, which have been
ratified by the membership, gave it
ample authority to oust Gates.
John Gates in addition, to being

| Out Of Every 4
Workers Hold
Union Membership

Washington (LPA)-One out of
every four working men and women
in the US carries union card.
All told, 15,600,000 individuals
are union members, according to
the new Directory of Labor Unions
(BLS Bulletin No. 937) published
by the Labor Dept this week.
There are 1877 unions organized
on an international or national
basis, according to the Labor Dept
lists. However, six of these 1877
claim more than 100000 members
each, with several near the million
member mark. And 81 unions can
claim more than 100000 members
each.
There are 16 national or inter-
national unions that claim less than
1000 members each. Most of these
are in highly skilled crafts, union
leaders point out, rather than in
poorly organized industries.

Medicos Plan New
Drive On Federal
Aid For Health

Chicago (LPA)-The American
Medical Assn has gone back into
its shell-the hard, solid shell OF
conservatism and Doctors first phil
osophy that led the Justice Dept to
obtain an antitrust judgment
against it several years ago.
That's the view of union officials
who are experts on medical care
who interpret recent ANA actions
as a rebuff to the AMA's delegates
to the Natl Health Assembly in
Washington earlier this year.
After long period in which the
ANA Journal had refrained from
entering into political controvers-
les, it carried last week long tir-
ade attacking what it calls "com-
pulsory sickness plans" like that
in Great Britain. 1t implies that
the British program us the same
as the national health insurance
program advocated for this coun-
try by the labor movement and
many others.
Earlier, the AMA's House of
Delegates voted in effect to repudi-
ate the actions Of the ANA dele
gates at the national health meet
ing. The Natl Health Assembly
voted to approve statement that
"The principle of contributory
health insurance should be the
basic method Of financing medical
care for the large majority of the
American people, in order to re-
move the burden of unpredictable
sickness costs, abolish the economic
barrier to adequate medical serv-
ices and avoid the indignities of a
means test
The ANA convention did an
insisted that a means
test be the prerequisite for both
free medical service or the use of
funds for health care,
any federal grants-in-aid
to states for health services Eek
cept where such state has clearly
demonstrated an absolute need for
such federal assistance" and op-
posed federal subsidies to aid in
training of doctors and specialists.
In addition, the first step in a
new drive on union and farm
groups who are operating their
own prepaid medical care programs
was taken. The ANA House of
Delegates has instructed its officers
to study and prepare legislation
defining the legal status of corp
orations attempting to practice
medicine in the various states"
This move to block the consum-
crowned medical care programs is
reversal of position. At the
lime of the NATL Health Assembly,
Nelson Cruikshank of the AFL,
Harry Becker of the CIO and Jerry
Voorhis of the Cooperative Health
Federation obtained an agreement
from ANA officials to discuss and
act on the barriers placed in the
way of the consumer programs by
rational and state medical associa-
ion officials.

ILGWU Ready To Repulse
Gdngster Infiltrdtion

New York (LPA)-Within les.
than a week after the hoodlums
who are attempting to run "open
shop" rackets in the New York
dress industry began their cam
paign against the Int'l Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union-AFL's organ
izing drive, it was clear that their
schemes will fail.
Early last week thugs invaded
the offices of the ILGWU Dress
Joint Board, beat up its new dir
ector of organization, William Ross,
and two of his aides. The same day
hoodlums, armed with lead pipes
wrapped in newspaper, attacked
members of the Seafarers Int'l
Union-AFL who are helping the
ILGWU in its efforts to complete
organization of the dress industry,
$3.50 of whose workers are women.
Several days later other attacks on
pickets were repulsed.
The trouble stems from the re-
cent growth of a non-union seq
ment in this highly organized in
dustry. Garment truckers-the men
who delivery goods to contractors
who handle various parts of the
dressmaking job-are believed to
be involved in the thug invasion.
They are said to have offered pro-
lection to anti-union manufacturers
just as the ILGWU's campaign to
organize the new open shop portion
of the industry got under way.
ILGWU President David Dublin
sky, who has personally taken over
direction of the unions counter
offensive, said that the new "sharp-
les" are probably successors to the
Lepke- -Gurrah mob that terrorized
the dressmakers before the recon-
quest of the industry by the
ILGWU in the early 1930's.
Prompt action by the New York
police has already resulted in the
Indictment of two ex-convicts for
the attack upon the union officials
and pickets. But Joint Board Man
ager Julius Hochman made it clear
that the union is not dependent up
on police help.
Hochman bluntly charged that
thug-truckers and open-shop en-
ployers are in alliance in the anti
union campaign. He announced that
the Joint Board will call out thous-
ands of workers in every part of
the garment district to help or
ganize the remaining open shops.
plans have been ratified
by over 200 officers, organizers and
shop chairmen of the dressmakers'
union.
Charles Zimmerman, manager of
the largest of the dress locals,
Local %, reiterated Hochman's
warning. eff we have to bring out
$4,000 members to the scene of the
attack on the pickets, or anywhere
else, and have them block the en-
tire street to prevent union-busting
truckers from dealing with union
busting contractors, we'll do it," he !
declared.
President Dubinsky said that
perhaps as much as IL to 1870 of
the industry is affected by racket
eering since the open shops have
sprung up, But, he added after dis
the ILGWU's cleanup
plans, 1.-The chiseling employers in
this group who are paying 'protec-
,ion' are already shaking in their
boots"

BEHIND HOME PLATE
By Doug Stewart

particularly in the last Quarter, to
put in a flock of fresh players.
Listening to the game over WEI,

the fairness of the crowd who all
through the game applaudeds the
Packets just as much as they did

but they gave Hagerstown one of
the finest advertisements it has had
in long time by their clean sports
manship and fighting spirit.

gratulations to Stewart Paxton on

being named Chairman of the Rules

The Funkstown boys sewed up the
championship of Division II of the
Junior Basketball League when they
beat the second-place Alsatia Club
on Monday night. The regular sea-
son has two more weeks to go, but
Funkstown, who has only lost one
game all season long, is out in
front by three games and cannot be
beaten.
The real fight in that league is
for the second-place spot in the
play-ofrs, and that is between the
Alsatians and the Lions, who are
tied for second place, with a record
of nine wins and four losses each.
The ding-dong battle in Division
/ will continue tonight out at Wood
land Way High School. AT the pies
ent time the Independent A. C.'s are
one game ahead of the Boys Club,
with the Optimist Club in third
place, and anything can happen
during the last three weeks of the
season. In fact, many of us expect
that the league championship will
not be decided until the last night
The three top teams all won their
games last Thursday night, but the
Boys Club had to go into an extra
three-minute period to win from a
surprisingly improved Moose Club,
and that game was unquestionably
the best game of the night.
