AFL Men Study Role Of Unions In Germ ny

Washington.-A group of American trade union officials, including rep resentatives of the American Fedora tion of Labor, have left for Germany to study what steps can be taken tc strengthen trade unions there as vita force in the rebuilding of demo cratic and peaceful Germany.
 Irving Brown, AFL European rep resentative and Henry Rutz, AFL German representative, are in the group together with a CIO represen- tative, according to an announcement of Acting Secretary of Labor David A. Morse. The trade union leaders are accompanied by Arnold Steinbaci of the Labor Departments Office o1 International Affairs.
 The group will be in Germany for about a month, contacting leaders ot German trade unions in industrial centers of the western zones. They also will confer with officials of the American Military Government. Or their return their findings will be re- ported to the Department of National Defense, the Department of Labor and its Trade Union Advisory Com mittee. This committee is composed of top officials of the AFL, CIO, Rail way Labor Executives Association and the Brotherhoods of Railroad lrainmen and Locomtive Engineers

Painters Scrap
 With San Diego Over Spray Guns

SAN DIEGO, Ca1if.-(FP-The city of San Diego and Local 333, Bro of Painters are warning over munich pal policy of sidestepping the use of union labor.
 After a recent tiff in which the city gave in to union demands that paint brushes replace spray guns, for health reasons, in redecorating park build ing, City Mgr. Fred Rhodes apparent ly decided to "get even."
 He has been using municipal crews operating spray guns on other buildings in the park. Sec.-Treas. Kenneth C. Bitter of the Building Trades Council headed commit. tee urging the city council to stop this practice. He pointed out that spray painting will actually prove more costly and result in a second. rate job.
 Although the city council rejected the request to turn the work back i'm mediately to private enterprise hiring union crews, it sat up and took notice of the claims that the work was prov ing more costly. Rhodes was asked to supply complete set of cost figures These will be checked with the paint CTS union for comparison.

HoppersJamm As Adjournment
 Date Approaches

If Congress adjourns as sched- uled on June l9, it will show re- cord of almost no action on vital domestic legislation. What actions have been taken have been mainly anti-labOr.
 Congressional leaders admit that the present amount of unfinished business is the greatest in years. The June l9 date was set to permit congressman to attend party con- ventiOns during June and July. The lawmakers must now decide whether or not to reconvene after the conventions. If they do, they will lose time from their election races.
 To date no civil rights bills have passed. An anti-lynch bill is tied up in the Senate judiciary committee. Similarly, an anti-polltax bill awaits Senate action.
 The Taft-Elender-Wagner hOus- ing bill got through the Senate but has been buried in the House bank ing and currency committee.
 No action has been taken to curb rising prices. Even a bill to repeal the tax on OleOmargarine has yet to clear the Senate.
 The ten year old 4Oc an hour minimum wage has not been touch ed. If wage-hour action is taken, there is grave danger that it will result in passage of the Ball bill crippling the wage-hOur system.
 There has been clear proof of the need to extend social security. but the only congressional action to date has resulted in limiting of so- cial security. News vendors were removed from social security cov- craze by the Cearhart bill and Fed. eral Security Administration funds were cut in the House.
 The one example of fast action by the House this session was the passage of the sinister Mundt bill on the recommendation of the unAmerican activities committee. without the calling of public hear. ings.

2,7l2,000 Pairs Living Doubled UpShishkin Says

Washington (LPA) New facts available for the first time now show how terribly acute the hous- ing shortage is becoming, AFL Housing Committee Chairman Boris Shiskin told members of the House Banking & Currency Com mittee last week. The AFL spokes- man testified in favor of the Taft E|lender-Wagner bill. at a hearing before the overwhelmingly hostile committee under Chairman Jesse WolcOtt (R., Mich.).
 With Congress planning to ad. Journ about June l9 it will take a strong drive by labor and veterans organizations to push the measure thru the House. It has already been approved by the Senate.
 Shishkin told the Congressmen that April 1947 Census Bureau figures show that 2,712,00O married couples are living with other families-an in crease of 100000 in the number liv- in 1o45. "- 'u
 Here IS an emergency area" Shish- kin warned. Tt has to do with millions ot children who are to come within the the next two or three years, and mil lions of lives whose whole future is affected by the kind of surroundings i'll which they live"
 RENTS SOARING
 Another urgent reason for passing the TEW bill, Shishkin went on. is the fact that the costs of homes have soared-with sales prices averaging from $12,000 to $16,0O0 in most large cities. Most monthly rents have in- creased 4O% during the period from l94O to 1947 in non-rural areas, ac- cording to the Census Bureau figures Shishkin added.
 He pointed to the unanimous ac- ton of the National Conference on Family Life, meeting here last weekend which urged passage of the TEW bill as a start toward solving one of the most urgent of family prOblems-finding a decent home at a reasonable cost, in which to rear a family. The conference brought together more than 100 national civic, social welfare, labor and veterans organizations to dis- cuss strengthening family life.

Blames Industry
 On Steel Shortage

WASHINGTON-(FP)-Agroup group ot five outstanding economists have lad the blame for present steel short ages at the door of the steel industry.
 In the May issue of Report On Our Economy, Robert R. Nathan, Lauch- lin Currie, Leon Henderson, Isador Lubin and Randolph Paul joined in making the charge. They said steel capacity could be increased 159o with little drain on U. s. resources. Fail ure to expand, they said, has increased imitation and held back production in all lines.
 In guarded language the economists accused the steel industry of undue fear of depression. They said, "The steel producers have never forgotten the fact that production of steel aver aged only 4O% of capacity during the depression. Their unwi1lingness to ex- pand seems in large measure to be a direct result of that experience"

United Labor Support Names
 W Woman Mayor

PORTLAND, Ore.-(FP)-Unit. ed labor support and record turnout of voters in Oregon's pri. mary election last week gave this city its first woman mayOr-Doro- thy Mccullough Lee.
 Mrs. Lee, who won a clear majority ln a field of seven candidates, will take office Jan. 1.
 Major issues in the non-partisan campaign, most hot1y contested in Portland's history, were failure of in- cumbent Mayor Earl Riley to crack down on organized vice, do anything about or even recognize increasing racial tensions, his opposition to needed wage increases for public en- ployes and his approval of a recent fare increase by private traction company.
 As a member of the city council Mrs. Lee supported pay boosts for AFL fre-hghters and municipal work CTS, voted against the fare increase and publicly favored an FEPC ordinance for Portland.
 This was the first city election in which the railroad brotherhOods made any indorsement and the first time the AFL and CIO were able to agree on a candidate for mayor. In addition to piling up a landslide labor vote, Mrs. Lee is credited with having received practically every one of Portland's several thousand Negro votes.
 Mrs. Lee, who is AZ, has a record of 20 years of government service. She began her public career as state representative, then became a state senator and more recently was city commissioner of public utilities.
