Hartley
Lawyer For
Tom Dewey

CHICAGO (LPA) - General
Counsel Irving Mccain of the
House Labor Committee is ap-
pealing- for a Republican victory
in November - so that industry
can really get taste of how the
Taft Hartley law will work.
Speaking to the Natl Small
Businessmen's Association con-
vention here last week, Mccain
indicated it was futile" to hope
that President Truman who veto
ed the TIL law once would en-
force it Fundamentally.
McCann's Charges
Mccain further charged "the
appointees of such a President"
with laxity in carrying out TIL
objectives. Presumably tn Is
would include NLRB General
Counsel Robert Denham, who has
rarely been accused of a lack of
enthusiasm in cracking down on
labor.
All this sabotage of Taft. Hart
ley, McCann told the business
men, 81 assume you will answer
in November.

Chalk Up
A Victory

WASHINGTON (LPA)-The
real estate lobby chalked up
one more victory last week even
tho Congress was not in session.
r e n control administrator
Tighe Woods further relaxed the
regulations under which land
lords operating not more than
four rentals units can prove
hardship" justifying a rent
boost for tenants.
This was one of the grievances
presented on behalf of the land
lords by Sen. Harry Cain (R.,
Wash) in secret sessions with
Woods after the 1949 Rent Con-
troll Act was passed. While la
Dor officials insist that Woods
action is not required under the
law, it is another in a series of
interpretations in which Woods
has carried out what apparently
are promises made to Cain as
the price for obtaining passage
of the measure and Woods con-
firmation as rent control chief

Of FLS Act
Postponed

WASHINGTON, d. c. - En-
forcement of a new interpreta-
tion under the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act regarding certain types
of premium payment, necessitat-
ed by the recent Supreme Court
decision in the longshore cases,
will not go into effect until
September Is, 1948. Previously
enforcement had been scheduled
to begin July /.
More Time Required
This was announced by VIM. R.
McComb, Administrator of the
Wage and Hour and Public Con-
tracts Divisions, u. S. Depart
ment of Labor. In ordering the
postponement, McComb said that
information from both labor and
management sources indicated
that more time is required to
make appropriate adjustments,
or where necessary, to make
revisions in collective bargain
ing agreements due to varying
requirements of union agree
ments as to reopening of con.
tracts.
At the same time the Admin
istrator said that he expected
soon to issue a statement out
lining the principles he would
follow in enforcement of the
position he outlined in a press
release issued on June IL.
A Major Problem
The Administrator explained
that the major problem for man
agement and labor growing out
of the decision is that of bring
ing union agreements and en-
ployer practices into accord with
the courts findings.

Coop is Prepared
Following the recent stock
subscription and membership
campaign, the Toledo coop is
prepared to open grocery super
markets in the near future which
will effect savings in food pur-
chases for the customers, and
thereby lower the wage-earner S
living costs, Parkinson stated.
"There never has been a great
er need for the cooperative move
ment than now, the coop presi-
dent declared. I'VE originated the
plan which Detroit, Pontiac, and
Flint found so highly successful
and which resulted in tremendous
benefits to consumers in those
cities. Now we are going to move
out of the thought stage, and
translate our idea into a reality" "
Advance Being Made
Rapid advances have been
made in the coop field in the
past year. A major factor is the
food-cost increase since tn e.
scuttling of OPA. In the last two
years prices have risen forty per-
cent, according to informed
sources, Parkinson added.
1t was explained that under the
supermarket setup groceries
would be purchased at prices that
would bring immediate savings,
with additional patronage re-
funds which generally average
about four percent, each GUS
toner sharing proportionately
according to his or her individual
purchaser. A day-to-day record
of each members purchases is
kept. Anyone may deal at the
coop, but only members are en-
titled to patronage dividends, he
