BRIT Head Only
Labor Chief To
Address Demos

Washington (LPA)-The Demo
cratic Party scored three refusals
and one acceptance Of its bids to
labor leaders to address the con-
vention in Philadelphia this week.
A. F. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen,
said he would be glad to appear,
having pledged his support to
Harry Truman last January. A visit
TO the White House at that time
had ended a feud that began in
May, 1916, when Whitney rejected
the Presidents proposals for a
strike settlement. Truman asked
Congress to draft the strikers, and
Whitney swore to use the Brother
hoods treasury to defeat him. The
BRIT chief is a member Of the Ohio
Legislation.
In a telegram to J. Howard Nc
Grath, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, President
Philip Murray said that "unfortun-
ately, urgent business of the CIO
makes it impossible for me to ac-
cept and to attend the convention
sessions. Please convey my re-
grets." This implied that Murray,
member Of the Pennsylvania dele
cation, would not even appear in
that capacity. Observers thought
that Murray, considered an Eisen-
hover man, lost interest when Tru-
mans nomination seemed assured.
The same day, Walter Reuther,
head of the largest CIO union,
United Auto Workers, made a plea
for the nomination of Supreme
Court Justice William o. Douglas.
AFL President William Green
declined his invitation with no COM
ment. After a visit to Truman the
week before, however, Green had
said that he would never" back
the Dewey Warren ticket. John F.
Shelley, president of the California
State Federation of Labor and head
of the states large delegation of
the Democratic convention, is being
considered by Truman for a cabinet
post as Secretary of Labor. The
California delegations most out
spoken member, James Roosevelt,
had been leader of the "Stop- Tru-
man" caucus.
A final mo" came from Daniel
]. Tobin, president of the Int'l
Brotherhood of Teamsters-AFL,
chairman of the La
Dor Division of the Democratic
Natl Committee.

.Keendn Coils
For Labor To
Get Out Vote

Washington (LPA)- The reac-
tionary character of the 80th Con-
gress can be accounted for by the
| low vote in the 1916 elections
Joseph keenan,, director of Labor's
League for Political Education,
writes in the current issue of the
Bulletin-monthly publication of
the Building & Construction Trades
Dep't-AFL.
keenan, points out that 56,000,000
eligible voters failed to cast their
balolts in 1916. Only 39 per cent of
the potential electors went to the
polls.
Result Congress (which
taught US a lesson we'll never for
get. The agents of the NAM on
Capitol Hill slapped US with the
| Taft-Hartley law. They taught US
that if we of organized labor do
not put more teeth in our nom
partisan political policy, and quick
ly, the next Congress will add the
finishing touches and put an end
to free trade unions"
But, says keenan,, the AFL, "the
strongest and largest trade union
organization in the world" can pro-
duce the remedy. 1t must organize
its members politically as it has
organized them industrially.
"Just as we have a union stew
ard in every shop to protect and
enforce our contracts with manage
ment, we must have a union politi-
cal steward in every one of the
more than 100000 precincts in this
country. Only in this manner can
we effectively educate and mobilize
the voting public to elect worthy
candidates and defeat our enemies
at the polls"
keenan, is confident that "the
sordid record of the 80th Congress
in flouting the needs of all our
people and the rights of the work
ing man, has aroused our men,
bership as never before. "But, he
cautions: WARS are won by arm
les, not disorganized mobs. The
same is true in politics. In every
state, congressional district, and
every last precinct and ward we
must rabidly build a permanent or
ganization stated with militant
trade unionists volunteering their
services in the cause of better gov
eminent"

Teachers Union
Hears Attacks On
Anti-Strike Laws

Glenwood Springs, Colo. (LPA.
Passage of laws prohibiting
strikes by public employees solves
no problems, and "has its incep
tion in the totalitarian philosophy
| of Fascism and Communism,
President Joseph F. Lands told tht
31st annual convention of the Am
erican Federation of Teachers-AFl
here.
prohibiting strikes by law,
Lands told the $50 delegates at the
opening session, ais as bad as lick

ing any effort to find out why the
child cries and without trying tt

Teachers have legitimate griev
ances, it was clear as the unior
members discussed professional
standards. Reported Secretary.
treasurer Irving r. Kuenzli: 'Tht
AFT, with the full support of the
AFL, is the only national class,
room teachers organization which
is waging vigorous and active
battle against the falsely labeled
merit system of paying higher sal
aries to those teachers who make
higher marks on rating scale"
Referring to salaries, Kuenzli
said that Teachers who are willing
to accept salary adjustments of
$500, $400 or $500 are merely per-
mitting the initiation of dollar val
ues to give them a false sense of
salary increases when an actual de-
crease has resulted" Because teach
ers sometimes fall for the half
loaf" offered by small pay boosts,
school boards and administrators
in some cases have been able to
head off unionization, Kuenzli
pointed out.
Greeting the conference, Presi-
dent Truman wrote that "The ac-
tivities of the Federation in the
field of international educational
relations, as reported in your let
ter, should be of great value. They
reflect the continuing concern of
all segments of our people for the
rehabilitation of a war-devastated
world and the Inauguration of
new era of international peace and
good WILL"
Many delegates attended a one
day conference, preceding the con-
vention, to discuss problems of in
ternational education.

High Wage Hikes
For Machinists

Washington (LPA)-Last week
Carl Huhndorff, director of re-
search for the Int'l Association of
Machinists-unaffiliated, reported
that lam members for whom the
union won new contracts in the
first five months of 1947 averaged
ten to 1412c gains in hourly pay.
Over 100000 machinists, covered
by 1,943 contracts were involv-
ed. They were scattered thruout the
metal manufacturing and service
industries-machine shops, oil re-
fineries, commercial garages, air
fields and army bases. During 1947
the IAM's average gain for it's
members was about 13c an hour.
But last week new contracts
zoomed well over the already high
standards of the previous months.
Lodge 434 in New York signed a
contract with E. P. Lawson, Inc, a
manufacturer of paper machines
providing raises of 13 to 15c. A new
contract with the Liberty Aircraft
Corp, brought pay boosts of from
ten to 40c an hour.
In Port Neches, Tex, Lodge 1892
won an 18c raise, plus other bene-
fits for its Pure Oil Co., members.
And in Beaumont, Tex, Lodge 1896
negotiated new contract with
the Magnolia Petroleum Co., in
creasing base pay rates by 17hc,
plus a ten cents an hour cost of
living bonus.

AFL Sees Tense
Berlin Situation
Test To The U. S.

Washington, d. c. GLNS)-The
tense situation in Berlin is a test
Of L. S. intentions, the American
Federation Of Labor points out in
its Labor's Monthly Survey.
"There are times in the worlds
history when one nations decision
in crisis may determine whether
law and order shall prevail or be
swept away by ruthless force" the
AFL says. "Such a crisis faces the
United States today. Our decision
on Berlin is crucial to the future of
Europe and indeed Of the world"
Cutting off Of the food supply Of
Germans in Berlin's western sec
tors by the Russians is ian open
act of aggression" the federation
declares. 1t adds:
"Of the city's 81 million Ger
mans, III million are in the Soviet
sector. Two and a quarter million
are in the western sectors where
their freedom to speak, vote and
act through democratic organiza-
tions is protected by the controlling
democracies, Britain, France and
USA. This island Of freedom is
surrounded on all sides by the
Communist totalitarian police state.
1t stands as beacon Of hope to
all Europe, proving that the United
States and her allies will not sur
render principles Of law, justice,
and democracy or hand over Eu-
ropes heartland and its people TO
the Soviet aggression"
The AFL charges that Stain
seeks to gain control over the Brit
ish, French and U. S. sectors in
Berlin as we'll as the Soviet sec
tor he already holds. But, it says,
"as long as the Western Allies re-
main in Berlin protecting its free
dom, the Germans in Berlin can
choose the government they want
and Stain cannot fulfill his plans"
Emphasizing the vital Importance
of the U. S. decision in Berlin, the
AFL says:
"The courageous people of wes-
tern Berlin have stood firmly to
uphold democratic principles the
rights against the totalitarian ter
ror surrounding them. Berlin's free
trade unionists especially have
made a valiant stand against Com
munist effort to take over their
Stain has been unable
to COW them. They have made this |
stand at the risk of their lives,
knowing full we'll that if the U. S.
gives way they will be liquidated. |
"Other democracies cannot make |
an effective stand against Soviet
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-07-15

aggression unless the U. S. is with
them. To yield Berlin would be to
hand over all its courageous anti
Communist citizens for cruel liq-
uidation by the Russians. Imprison-
ment, torture, slayings, exile to
slave labor camps have been meth
DDS used by Communists to liqui-
date oppositions elsewhere.
Failure of the L. S. to stand
firmly for basic principles in this
strategic crisis would proclaim to
all Europe that we are unwilling
to carry out our commitments,
ready to betray those who depend
on US to stake their lives on the
cause of democracy"
In conclusion, the AFL says:
"Only an unyielding stand for prin-
ciple can check this new aggres-
sion. Only the L. S. can take that
stand to protect Europe and our
own people from the totalitarian
menace"

Over-Demand Makes Oil a No. |

7 ACK OF FUEL OIL is a

motorists are likely to have
more and more trouble get

The two problems are re-

now, the less gasoline come
warm weather. Both the Gov
ernment and the oil industry
are urging public conservation
in order to make ends meet
for the next couple years.
Why the shortage? The oil
experts say it isn't a shortage
but an "over-demand." The
postwar demand has bal
looned out of sight, while the

including the wartime peak
IN 1945-hasn't been able to
meet it.

age. primarily. Steel is needed
to exploit new wells, build re-
f1neries and pipelines, to
launch new tankers. A spokes-
man for a large Baltimore
refinery says the last is the
big bottleneck-there are not
enough tankers to bring the
crude oil from the fields of
Texas to the East Coast.
Many of those in service have
to be reconditioned for peace
time safety-and others will
nave to be built.
Nobody, it seems, could
foresee the unprecedented
postwar demand. The public
now is using up almost half
a million more barrels of oil a
day than in the wartime peak
year of 1945. HouSeholders
are turning to comparatively
labor-free oil heating (more'
