Truth Out About NAM

or setting the policies of the organization 1t is run by
125 large corporations who actually represent less tan one

Cleveland does not go into the smelly scandals in which
NAM was involved during the Woodrow Wilson admnisra

we often suspected that is strictly controlled by the

Dewey On Griddle
For Opposition
TO School Funds

Cleveland LPA)-Delegates to
the Natl Education convention
here last week worked up a fine
state of Indignation over presiden-
tial candidate Thomas f. Dewey's
views on teachers who lobby for
school funds.
The excitement started when a
delegate read to the $500 NEA
leaders a column by Drew Pearson,
in which he quoted Dewey at the
June governors conference in New
Hampshire. According to Pearson,
Dewey called for a closed session
at which the heads of the states
were urged to conduct "a publicity
campaign" against the teachers.
Dewey's press secretary wired
his denial to the convention. Pear
son then wired the delegates that
on June 20 he talked to Dewey in
Philadelphia. "At that time" the
columnist insisted, "He repeated to
me the same general ideas he had
expressed at the governors confer
ence at Portsmouth, even referring
to the teachers lobby as 'damnable
blackmail and Hitler's tactics
have talked to Dewey twice about
teachers salaries and while | have
high regard for him on most other
issues he has not been able to sec
that the education of American
youth is more important then bal
ancing a state budget"
Delegates, overriding an increas-
ingly nervous leadership who fig
ure they may have to deal with
Dewey in the White House during
the coming four years, insisted on
wiring President Truman and
Dewey, asking their views on fed
eral aid to edcuation and specifi-
cally querying Dewey on the Pear
son charge.
Truman replied, citing his RECORD
urging federal aid to education
and wa ming that "Unless the fed
eral government comes to the aic
of the states in meeting educationa
needs there is danger of a serious
breakdown in our system of edu
cation"
Dewey, outside of a denial by 6
spokesman Of the renewed Pear
son charges, didn't reply to the
NEA query about his views OF
school funds.

Who Gets The Income?

Who gets our vastly increased national income? How
well is being distributed among the people? Recent g-
ures made public by the Federal Reserve Board have been
interpreted by of the eastern economists to indicate
that the average American famys status has improves
measuraby in the last year.
Here is what the figures show individuals whose IN
comes top 500 year and who comprise eight per cent
of the income receivers got 80 per cent of the national IN
come At the bottom OF the pile the l3 per cent OF the
wageeaners who received less than 81 600 94 got only
two per cent of the total pie Yet here few things the
figures show the number of people in the lowest brackets
is decreasing The average for the Garner is
getting larger
The Federal Reserve Board however, did not discuss
the most important factor Of aprces If it had done So
its figures would have proved concusvey that the aver
age wage Garner ground if his income considered
in terms of real wages, what the dollar will buy The tg
ures prove surely that increased wages paid IN
inflated dollars have not nearly kept pace with advancing
prices profits

It's Getting Worse

The prices-wages situation reminds of that little dog
in our neighborhood who spends lot OF time chasing
his tail
He gets out in the front yard and goes around and
around and around He makes lot of noise But he never
catches his tail.
It's a tiresome perfomance-but not bit more tire
than this business of getting cut nearly every
time you turn around
It's happened in 18 of the "A months that have passed
since OPA killed.
Each increase in prices equals cut in pay (as if you
didn't know it, The cost of living has up in all but SIX
of the "a months of the posOPA period according to Gov
ernment figures.
And there's every indication prices will rise againper
haps rather sharpbetween and the end of the year.
This would cut into the hikes the unions have
been securing in effort to regain the lost purchasing
power resulting from previous price increases.
Where-and when-Will it end?
Nobody to know when, but there's fairly general
agreement to where 1t will end in economic crash and
another terrible depression unless something is done to
change the trends

They Won But Lost

5000 persons went to the polls in election out in
Illinois recently and nearly 5000 of them voted in favor of
the proposal placed before them You would call that

But the circumstances weren't ordinary.
A union involved, and usual democratic procedures
weren't followed thanks to the Tatt-Eartley Act.
Some 10600 workers given opportunity to vote
on union shop proposal but only about 5000 showed up
at the polls The of these 5000 should have settled the
issue-but they didn't
The "on" votes of those who cast ballots We're in eff
feet added the votes of those who didn't to the polls
This total was larger than the yes" voe-and so the
union shop issue lost

Reussurinq Words From Canada

Among so many "war scare" stories, it is reassurng
to read some words spoken in the Canadian Parliament by
who is in position to know the facts about the sltua-
tion he discussed sf s.
Brooke Claxton has distinguished record, and IS
now the Dominons Minister of Defense.
George r. Pearkes, retired general declared in the
House of Commons that Canada is spending little It's
armed forces is leaving it's defense to Uncle Sam and
result is open to Sudden attack by Russia.
Claxton ridculed that statement. Emphasizing that
as defense chief he has the best available information on
the subject, he said:
Russian troops obviously cannot march into Canada
by land Attack by sea is highly improbable because
Russia has almost navy. That leaves only the air.
TO carry Russian division, less than 10000
men, Canada 1000 big fouengined airpanes would be
required 81 doubt Russia has 600 planes of that type
Claxton said
Anyway the sole result would be that the planes would
be lost and the troops who landed would also be lost The
advantages to Russia would be nil
If Claxton is right attack the United States is
still less likely because this country much stronger than
Canada and much farther from Russia.

Captive Miners
Sfoy Out While
Injunction Pends

Washington (LPA)-Nearly 55,-
GOO bituminous coal miners, en-
ployees of the steel trusts captive
mines, were idle this week while
United Mine Workers lawyers and
NLRB General Counsel Robert N.
Denham prepared to argue the gov
ernment's injunction request before
Judge Il. Alan Goldsborough.
Most of the captive pits are in
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
During part of last week another
$4,000 miners in the area missed
some working time, out of "sym-
pathy" with the steel company en-
ployees, and as the usual aftermath
of the Fourth of July vacation.
They were not on strike, and union
officials have asked them to re-
turn to work.
Unlike other recent government
interventions by injunction in coal
disputes, this one is based upon
an unfair labor practice" charge.
Up till now the government has re-
sorted to the emergency provi-
sions" of the Taft-Hartley law.
But this time US Steel and its
stooges used the UMW's request
for union shop agreement, which
the commercial mine owners ac-
cepted, as an excuse to avoid sign
ing the 1913 contract by charging
the union with violating the Taft
Hartley law.
The steel barons, thru Denham,
are saying that because UNIV
President John l.. Lewis and other
mine workers. officials have refus-
cd to sign non-Communist affi7
davits and submit to NLRB
union shop authorization elections,
the union has no right to secur-
ity contract.
Denham has filed a complaint
with an NLRB trial examiner
which will be heard next week, but
meanwhile his injunction request
will come before Judge Goldsbor-
ough's court.
Last week, when the work stop
page began, the steel companies
averaged about a 41-day supply
of coal on hand.

Corporations Could Do II

The large corporations of the nation in position
to the debating job that needs to be done They have
enough power to do it, They in financial position to
do Il But there is no indication they're mood TO do it,
Their quest is for profits-not for economic
stability.
In the long run of course they'll cut their financial
hroasunless they do everything in their power to bring
about a better balance between wages and profits.
Glib talk won't do the job. Neither will attempts to
place the blame for initiation others Neither will charges
that Labor is trying destroy the profit system.
If the lob is DONE business and industry must break
their bad postwar habit of gouging the consumer.
There may be polite work than "gouging that
we could use but we know that is factual.
