NAM Urges Changes
In Labor Act 10 Bar
|ndustry-Wide Tieup,
BY the Assoeioied Press

! The National Association of Man.
ufacturers said today the Taft
Hartley Act has improved labor re-
lations 'immeasurably." But it
added that changes are needed to
prevent industry-wide strikes.
Raymond S. Smethurst, NAM
counsel, said in a statement pre-
pared for the Senate-House Labor
Study Committee:
THE recurrence of one coal
strike, and the present threat of an
other, have demonstrated again the
impelling need for effective action
against paralyzing industry wide
strikes"
Mr.. Smethurst said the NAM be-
lieves industry-wide bargaining
should be outlawed by Congress, but
as alternatives he proposed:
/. Continuing to permit industry
wide bargaining voluntarily on a
group basis.
2. Outlawing industry wide strikes.
3. Subjecting any industry wide
agreements to the antitrust laws.
If no industry-wide agreement
could be negotiated on a voluntary
basis, Mr.. Smethurst said. 'the law
should then require negotiations to
be resumed on plant or company
basis, free from collusion or con-
certed action between employers or
| local unions"
The NAM representative also asked
That handling of pension and benefit
plans be restored to management.
Mr.. Smethurst, noting labor de-
mands for repeal of the Taft
Hartley law, said:
Fears expressed that employers
would use the law to harass and
weaken labor organizations have not
materialized. In thousands
of plants throughout the country
the process of collective bargaining
has been carried on without serious
obstacles or disruption. Litigation
has not become substitute for ne
gotiation"
An American Federation of Labor
official told the committee yester-
day that the Taft-Hartley law
should be repealed right away.
TT has now become abundantly
clear that the act does not contain
any possible benefits for labor" said
Richard j. Gray, president of the
AFL's building and construction
trades department.
Mr.. Gray described as "the most
vicious" sections of the law those
provisions dealing with picketing
making secondary boycotts illegal
and permitting use of injunctions
in some labor disputes.
He said the injunction in labor
cases lis piece of law enforcement
machinery which not only lends it.

''Blest Be the Tie That Binds"
A poem by Mrs Thomas J. Spar
go, president of family 1947-1948:
The Peppers Of Delaware
Joshua came from England
Or so the legend goes,
An immigrant to Sussex,
At what age we do not know.
In seventeen twenty-five,
The records tell his birth;
He lived four score and three,
A pioneer of worth.
He had a son named Eli
And seven more I'd say;
Legend tells he had three wives,
For eighty years held sway.
He had fine sons and daughters
From whom we all take root
Good hOrnest working farmers, they
And not a single crook.
Asbury, Joshua and David,
And others, five or six
Are we worthy of our heritage
From these men of old Sussex?
/ read of Prettyman and Eli
And of others, I'm not sure,
No wonder we number hundreds
And wonder who we are.
The Peppers had large families
But some others did have more,
Joseph Warrington was such man
He counted children by the score.
Daughters Catherine, Hetty, Naomi,
Well-trained girls from the twen-
ty-One-
They married Asbury, Joshua and
David,
No better wives found under the
sun.
We are seven generations from
Joshua,
With records of wisdom and worth
Let's make him proud of his chill
dren
That people our corner of earth.
Each year familiar faces
Have finished their part Of Gods
plan,
We're glad you passed our way
You good folks of JOshua's clan.
We miss you, Viola and Byron,
Will, Howard, and others, too;
But you're living on in your chill
dren,
May they always be true blue.
Some of us have proved our wOrtl
No cause to shed a tear,
We've made this world a bette
place
Since Joshua tarried here.
Our children yet to come
Have a challenge to live by;
They'll make us proud of them
AS a better world draws nigh.
This is our faith for future years
When work and play and peaC
and love
Will be the rule of all mankind
And shall be the lOteOf everyone.

Unions Protest
Ban On Magazine

New York (LPA)-A number of
trade unions have joined the pro-
test movement against the ban of
the liberal magazine The Nation
from the Libraries of New York
public schools. The Nation was
banned by Gotham school authori-
ties when it carried a series of
articles by Paul Blanshard, the late
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia's s
Commissioner of Investigation and
Accounts, criticizing the official
position of the Catholic Church on
such subjects as education, science,
divorce, democracy and fascism.
Among the unions signing the
protest petition are: the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of AM
erica-CIO, the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters-AFL, the
New York Teachers Guild-AFL
and the New York Newspaper
Guild-CIO. Liberal organizations
which have denounced the Board of
Education's decision: the American
Veterans Committee, Americans for
Democratic Action, and the Liberal
Party.

Cardinal Praises
Organized Labor

Chicago - The effectiveness of
organized labor was praised highly
here by Samuel Cardinal Stritch,
Catholic archbishop of this area, in
an address before the annual con-
vention of the Illinois State FEEDER
.ation of Labor.
"If it had not been for your acti-
vities through many years, the con-
dition of labor would perhaps be
no better than it was in the 1905" i"
he declared.
"There may be those who would
like to go back to the '90s," he
said. "But we know the gains which
have been made must be conserved,
and to these must be added other
gains TO give the working man an
honest family wage and a fair par
ticipation in the profits of indus
try"
Cardinal Stritch declared that
there is no democracy where there
is no real unionism" and as an ex-
ample he cited totalitarian coun-
tries which have "the most cruel
forced labor in the history of the
modern world"

Coop Radio
Station Goes
On Air Oct. 20

Washington (LPA) - Washing
toms comparatively owned radio
station WCFM goes on the air
Wednesday evening, Oct. 20. The
occasion will be marked by dinner
chaired by columnist Marquis
Childs at which the principal speak
er will be former Secretary of
State Sumner Welles.
Actually getting the station on
the air gives us real sense of
achievement" station manager Hell
muth Kern told LPA. "Thruout
these months in which we've been
coping with problems ranging all
the way from getting steel for a
transmitter tower to finding volun-
teers to stuff envelopes, we have
been encouraged by the continu-
ing support, the financial aid, the
ever-growing interest of labor and
consumer groups all over the coun-
try"
"These labor leaders, the cooper
ative, civic and educational organ
izations, the newspapermen and
commentators, and others who have
made this station possible will now
become participants in the broad
casting station they helped to
create" Kern pointed out.
The station has a Listeners
Council" and its common and pre-
ferred stock is owned by more than
10000 people including members of
Washington cooperatives who set
up the station.

Unions Leaders
Value Fringe
Programs Highly

Milwaukee (LPA)-If the local
officers and business agents of the
Building Service Employees lntl
Union-AFL are at all typical, local
labor leaders value highly the nom
bargaining activities of their un-
ions. A poll of BSEIU's local lead
ers showed them enthusiastic about
educational, political, welfare and
legislative programs-the projects
that lot of good union men used
to write off as fringe stuff"
Nearly 900 of the BSEIU men
voted that these programs help the
unions membership drives, pro-
mote feeling of solidarity among
the members and bolster the organ
ization's prestige. Only 1919 of the
local leaders, on the other hand,
thought that these activities inter
fere with basic economic campaigns
or create internal dissension.
Rated Essential" by a majority
of the unionists polled were: con
ducting get-out-the-vote cam
paigns; local legislative commit
tees; and union death-benefit pro-
grams. Most Of those who didn't
think these activities essential"
agreed that they are useful" I'm
der 1919 thought that any of the
three are worthless"
Combining the Essential" and
useful" votes, equally strong APP
proval went to such projects as
local employment Offices, newspap-
ers and sick-and- welfare funds.
Only slightly over 1919 refused to
approve classes in trade unionism,
participating in the Community
Chest, and job training courses.
Recreational programs have the
least support from the local leader
ship. About 22% think they're

Mine Workers Research Project
Reports Hope For SiIicosis Cure

New York City 0LNS).-A re-
port on the first years findings of
union silicosis research and treat
ment project holds out hope for an
eventual cure for the dread disease
that yearly kills or disables thous-
ands of workers in mining, quarry
ing and other big industries.
The report covers the work done
at Jefferson Medical College Hos
pital in Philadelphia under grant
of $3.50 from the United Mine
Workers Anthracite Health and
Welfare Fund, supported through
payments by coal operators of 20
cents per ton for all coal mined.
Already, relief on a scale never
before attained has been given to
500 sufferers from miners asth-
ma" who submitted to a new pro-
cedure developed in the research
project, according to DR.. Burgess
| l.. Gordon, clinical professor at
Jefferson Medical College and med
ical director of the project.
Thomas Kennedy, mine union
vice-president and chairman of the
fund, announced the findings of the
silicosis project.
Greatest advance in treatment of
silicosis, which accounts for near
| ly % percent of the natural"
deaths of hard coal miners, has
been the development of forced
breathing" device.
Ordinary treatment has involved
use of standard nebulizer which
permits patients to inhale certain
drugs into the lungs in the form of
a fine mist. Major drawback was
the fact that many silicotic miners,
especially in the advanced stages,
have such congestion in their
lungs that they are unable to in
hale sufficient quantity of the
drugs, nor will the lungs expand
enough to permit the drugs to reach
the most sorely affected areas.
Wide Benefits Seen
The new device combines the
nebulizer with an intermittent
positive pressure cycling valve"
originally developed for treating
Air Force fliers suffering from lack
of oxygen. 1t alternately pumps
the drug filled mist into the lungs
and gently sucks out the waste
carbon dioxide.
"The Importance of the research
now in progress" the report said,
"lies not only in the benefits to
anthracite miners but also in fu-
ture benefits anticipated for the
workers of other great industries
(iron, lead, zinc, granite, etc.)
where silicosis is a major problem.
