The Wagner Act has been cor
rectly termed the Magma Charta of
American Labor. American work
ers are quite right, therefore, in
insisting that the Taft Hartley
amendments, which limit certain
rights and nullify others recog-
nized under the Wagner Act, should
be repealed.
The battle for sound labor and
welfare legislation, however, takes
place on many sectors, and all sec
tors of this battlefront are impor-
tant.
So it is that while workers con-
centrate on political and economic
action directed at correcting the
major injustice done through the
enactment of the Taft Hartley Act
they should be alert also to devel-
opments in other phases of labor
Legislation at both the state and
federal levels.
The Federal Fair Labor Stan
dards Act, for example, prohibits
child labor and provides for mini
mum wages and overtime payment
for employees engaged in inter
state commerce or the production
of goods for interstate commerce.
Minimum Wage OF 75c Urged
The minimum wage of 40 an
hour, inadequate in 1898 at the
time of the adoption of the Fair
Standards Act, is even more in
adequate today. Congress has
steadily refused, however, to give
low-paid workers the protection of
the higher minimum wage recon-
mended by President Truman and
urged by the American Federation
of Labor and workers throughout
the country. A minimum wage rate
of 75c or SOC an hour would seem

ILLPE WORRIES
HOO Sic COP

Washington (LPA)-Nine Re-
publican Taft-Hartleyite Congress-
men from Indiana paid AFL's La
bors League for Political Educa-
tion a back-handed compliment
last week. Worried by LLPE's
threat to organize their defeat in
November, the nine union baiters
issued a blatantly anti-labor call to
their constituents to back them up
in their opposition to organized la
Dor.
Lead by Republican House Ma
jority Leader Charles A. Halleck,
and ranking House Labor Commit
teeman Gerald W. Lands, the nine
Hoosier Republicans complained
that while they are limited to total
campaign expenditures of $780,
346.03, LLPE is threatening to
raise $258,000 to defeat them.
Asserting that LLPE is support
ed only by "a handful Of misguided
and arrogant leaders," Halleck and
his colleagues called upon "the
rank and file of labor in Indiana"
and fright thinking people" to re-
elect them on a pro-Taft-Hartley
platform.
Joseph keenan,, acting director
of LLPE, told LPA that the nation
al office Of the AFL's political arm
had made no estimate of how much
would be spent against the Indiana
anti-laborites He added that there
is no doubt of the ability Of Indiana
labor to raise $258,000 through vol
untary contributions to retire from
public life the nine advocates Of
Taft-Hartley.

involving benefit payments in ex-
cess of $153,0OO,000
As an indication of the growth
of the insurance fund, the report,
offers statistics showing that in
the last five years of its history
the fund adjusted nearly II times
as many claims as were handled in
its first five years.

AVG Convention
To Take Place
After Elections

Washington (LPA)-The Amer
ican Veterans Committee, pro-un-
ion organization of World War III
vets, has postponed its annual con-
vention until after the Presidential
elections. Originally scheduled for
Aug. 26-29, the convention will be
held in Cleveland, Thanksgiving
weekend Nov. 25-28.
Members Of AVC's Natl Policy
Committee explain their almost
unanimous action as designed to
keep AVG policy decisions free
from the partisanship that will be
developed during the national cleo
toral campaigns. They fear that if
the convention were held in August
all actions by the veterans group
would be interpreted as aligning
it for or against various parties
and candidates, despite the clause
in AVC's constitution which for
bids it from endorsing parties or
candidates.
Both AFL President William
Green and CIO President Philip
Murray have endorsed AVC's aims.
At its last meeting the CIO ex-
ecutive board reaffirmed the en-
dorsement given AVG by President
Murray at the 1947 convention.
Murray had urged "all CIO organ
izations to take an interest in ave
and lend support to this organiza-
ton. To my mind it is the most
outstanding and the most deserv-
ing veterans organization in the
U.s."
CIO clothing, steel and auto
workers leaders have assisted in
the organization of AVG chapters
in their communities.
Recently Frank Ranney, secre-
tary Of the Milwaukee Federated
Trades Council-AFL called upon
all unions in Milwaukee to assist
AVG. AFL intemationals that have
actively assisted the new veterans
organization include the Int'l Lad
les Garment Workers Union and
the Upholsterers, Int'l Union.
President Harvey Brown Of the
Lnt1 Association of Machinists,
and A. F. Whitney, president Of
he Brotherhood of Railroad Train, {
nen, have both urged World War
i vets to work in AVG.

Child Labor Increase
Held Fault OF Congress

New York-James Myers, assist
ant secretary of the National Child
Labor Committee, branded as a ma
tional shame the action Of the 80th
Congress in cutting the appropria-
tion for the federal child labor pro-
gram by more than so percent.
Myers said he was amazed at the
extent of the practice of employing
child labor in modern industry and
pointed out that there are now
"twice as many children employed
as before the war"
The number now at work in vari-
Gus industries and in agriculture is
nearly 100000, according to lat'
est government figures.

Labor BIosfs Joint Committee e
Report On Toff-H orfIey Law

Washington (LPA)- Organized
labor responded quickly and unani-
! mously to the white-washing of the
aft-Hartley law by the Joint Con-
4 gressional Committee on Labor
Management Relations this week.
4 AFL President William Green, CIO
chieftain Philip Murray and Presi-
dent Harvey Brown of the Int'l As
sociation of Machinists all attack
ed the watchdog" committee for
its uncritical endorsement of the
union-baiting bill.
Green said that "it was a fore
gone conclusion that the committee
created by the Congress which
adopted the Taft-Hartley act would
give the law clean bill of health" !"
He charged that the NLRB does
not "dare make a move without
calling Ball, the Senator who is
:, chairmanof The watchdog COM
mittee", and that the Joint COM
mittee's references to the strike
of the Intl Typographical Union
is designed to prejudice its decision
in the courts.
The AFL leader pointed out too
that the Committee betrays its pre-
JUDGES when it boasts of the COM
plants filed by employers under
the act. Green explained that the
fact that many unions have COM
piled with the registration provi-
sions of the act does not indicate
weakening of the union position
against it. "These steps were taken
under protest and only because the
labor organizations involved could
not otherwise survive and func-
tion.
Strikes, Green said, have been
fewer since the act went into eff
feet simply because so many unions
signed new contracts shortly before
the law went into effect. The eff
fects of the law on collective bar,
gaining and peaceful labor-man-
agement relations cannot be deter
mined till these contracts expire,
he explained.
Presidnet Murray said that "the
report is strangely silent with re-
spect to the growing use of govern
ment-by-injunction for the purpose
of breaking strikes" He pointed
out that 13 injunction petitions
were filed against unions, only one
against an employer.
While citing the number of un-
fair practice cases filed by unions
against employers, the report does
not mention that although unions
submitted five times the number
of complaints as employers to the
NLRB since the passage of Taft
Hartley the boards general counsel
has issued "a complaints against
unions. only Is against employers.
Commenting on the Joint Com
mittee's claim that Taft-Hartley
has reduced strikes, Murray ex-
planned that many unions complet
ed contract negotiations prior to
the enactment of the law, and that
the pre-Taft- Hartley figures are
untypical because they cover the
reconversion from war to peace
period.
Murray denied the validity of the
Committees statement that Taft
Hartley hasn't hurt wages. "When
one considers the rise in cost of
living since the adoption of the act
it is quite apparent that the wage

members generally recognize, how

of wages of unorganized and un-
skilled workers cannot fall society

promote the stability Of the entire
wage structure.

MAYOR WILL PITCH FAMOUS FIRE BAIL
 AT GAME TOlAOpRCW
HoIzheimer, Gilmore and Mill Are Slated for At-
 lion in BIB. Opener

Mayor Waino Hendrickson Will take the mound armed with his series winning 'sinker-ball," US. Attorney P. J. Gilmore, Jr., an ac- cepted great, in baseball annals, will step into the catcher's area, and Past League President Judge William Holzheimer will call the players into action for Sundays opener in the 1948 Gastineau Chan nel Baseball League season. Fire Chief Minard Mill, second umpire for the opening game, is expected to rule the close ones at first base with a booklet of fire regulations in hand. Should things get too hot on the first sack, volunteer firemen have been instructed to stand by for the emergency call.
 It is not believed that Hendrick- son and Gilmore will last the full nine innings-fact is, they will re- tire to the role of spectators af- ter the first smoking pitch, and the opening game will get under way with the Elks facing the Legion in a seven inning go sched- uled to begin at o'clock in the afternoon.
 In the second game the Moose men will square away against Les Cochran and his Douglas squad. Cochran hopes his new uniforms will be on hand for the game, but in the event they are delayed, the Douglas team will probably be wearing past issue Elk uniforms. The Elks will be sporting new jackets donated by Wallis George.
