scribed as an extremely efficient,
minded Briton has the best wo-
mans job at UN. She is director
of personnel. She was previously
undersecretary of the British Minis
try of Labor, the highest paying
woman's job in her own country's
civil service.
Miss Smieton says, "There is no
reason for not having more wo-
men as far as job regulations go.
Forty eight per cent of the staff
is women but it's true they are in
the junior grades, clerks, typists,
stenOgraphers, and the like.
"Nor has it anything to do with
lack Of physical stamina. | think,
rather, you have to look at this
against the background of work
which has been done by women in
national public service-in local
and national governments"
UN hiring is distributed geogra-
phically, including our own. Miss
Smieton went on to say that in
every government there are very
few women in the top government
posts. Women simply don't have
the necessary experience and train
ing in political and economic af-
fairs, nationally or internationally.
Here at home we have nine women
in our House Of Representatives in
the midst of 426 men. There are
no women in our Senate or in the
Presidents Cabinet. There are no
women governors.
Perhaps it is apathy on the part
of the women or maybe they feel
that having so much they don't
need to fight for public office.
"Men in the UN who aren't used
to working with women in public
life forget about them and never
think to request them when there's
a job to be filled" observed Miss
Smieton.
The answer to the question
seems to boil down to the fact that
women have the same opportuni-
ties for UN jobs but don't qualify
for the specialized top spots.

HAYE YOU HEARD2

According to DIR. David Seabury,
noted psychiatrist and frequent
Town Hall lecturer, and conductor
Of numerous classes in psychiatry,
there are two kind Of worry,-the
dangerous type which causes men
tai breakdown, and the construc-
tive worry, that recognizes a stu
alton and does something about it.
DR.. Seabury describes good, sue
cessful worry as calm calculation.
Dangerous worry, he says, is fear
Of consequences instead Of control
Of consequences. He suggests a pat
tern of thinking to encourage the
best sequences in the mind, instead
of focusing on dangerous sequen-
ces.
Some of the "Nevers" he stresses
are:
Never worry in bed-get up and
read to prevent the habit.
Never worry until you know en-
ough facts for the answer to be
found.
Never do another PERSONS worry
ing for him-each is entitled to
solve his own.
Never worry because someone
thinks you should.
Never become anxious with more
than a half dozen worries at one
time-leave the rest to straighten
out themselves.
Never worry when peaved, and
limit your time Of worry to one
half hour.
Never dump worries on another
person if you want him for friend
he gets tired Of carrying the
load.

LABOR AND THE LAW

be anticipated under the Taft Hart
ley Act have not yet been encoun-
tered. 1t is probable that these are
still ahead to be met when we have
had further experience under the
Act.
A great number of collective bar
gaining agreements have not yet
been affected by the Act; major
tests are in prospect, therefore,
when the time for renewal Of these
agreements arrive. Moreover, the
number of cases before the NLRB.,
which was approximately 4,0OC
when the Taft-Hartley Act became
effective, now stands at a figure
approximately 40 per cent higher.
Appeals resulting from these cases,
as well as further appeals growing
out of cases referred to the NLRB
in the future, must be anticipated.
These will mean litigation extend
ing into the indefinite future to
determine the rights of employers
and employees under the law.
Summary OF Objections
Regardless of labor's success or
lack of success, however, in the re-
negotiation of such agreements or
through its appeal to the courts,
its basic objections to the Taft
Hartley Act will remain unaltered.
In summary, these objections are
the law: (D discourages the forma-
tion of unions by making organiza-
tion difficult;
(2) discourages free collective
bargaining by increasing depen-
dence on litigation and legal pro-
cesseS; and
(3) nullifies the spirit and in
tent of the Wagner Act by weak
ening the position of workers in the
bargaining relationship with their
employers.

Cafeteria Strike
Continues AS UPM
Rejects Affidavits

Washington 0PA)-Meeting in
New York last week, the United
1 Public Workers executive board
turned down requests from fright
wing" union groups that it sign the
Taft Hartley non-Communist off
GERS affidavits. It's Local All, rep
resenting workers in federal gov
ernment buildings cafeterias in
Washington had filed the Commu-
mist disclaimers in an attempt to
secure government intervention in
the strike against Government
Services, Inc, which operates the
restaurants.
Meantime, Federal Workers Ad-
ministrator Philip Fleming, who
has charge of federal properties,
denied reports that President Tru-
man instructed him to threaten
GSI with a cancellation Of its con-
tract if it does not negotiate with
the union
GSI management asserts that it
will not bargain with the UPW 10
cal until the unions national lead
Iership also complies with the Taft
Hartley law.
A d. c. municipal court Judge
sentenced one Of the scab workers
in the government cafeterias to 90
days in Jail for crossing the picket
line while carrying pistol.
Other decisions of UPW's execu-
tive board included establishment
Of an autonomous board and sep
arate director for its locals in the
federal service. Most Of the unions
members are in state and local gov
ernment agencies. The board also
voted approval of the emergency"
of a third political party, but did
not specifically endorse the presi-
dental candidacy of Henry Wallace.
Alfred Bernstein, UPW represen-
tative in Washington, said last
week that the executive board has
the power to recommend complete
separation of the unions federal
and local branches should it so de-
sire at the national convention
which is expected to take place in
April or May.
President Abram Flaxer and 9th
er national officers have been un-

Committee, charges that the UPW
leadership follows the Communist
Party line, and asserts that this is
why its membership among federal
workers is relatively low.

they represented majority of the
employees. The Taft Hartley
amendments, however, leave only
the hollow shell Of the bargaining
relationship, by setting up restric-
tions and limitations which operate
to embarrass and hamstring the
union at every turn.
The trainers of the Wagner Act
conceived Of governmental agencies
as aiding and facilitating the bar
gaining process. The Taft-Hartley
amendments establish government
tai agencies as fascist bureaucra-
cies with more control over unions
and the bargaining process than
government exercises over any
other aspect of American life.
Varied interpretations Possible
AS the situation now stands,
neither management nor labor un-
derstands the full meaning of the
law or how far it applies. At one
point a powerful union may force
it's employer to forego certain ad-
vantages granted him under the
Taft Hartley Act. At another point,
union employees and employers
who have over the years worked
out successful relationships are en-
couraged to work out arrangements
to avoid responsibility under the
law. Still other sections of the law
make it virtually impossible for
workers to establish collective bar
gaining relationships through bona
fide unions, by encouraging COM
pany unions, by permitting employ
er resistance through the use of
propaganda, and by encouraging
litigation, contrary to the very
principle of free collective bargain
ing.
Finally, it must be recognized
that the major problems that may

Parties Split As
COP Pushes FEPC.
Lynch Penalties

Washington (LPA) - A louC
storm of protest by southern Demo
crat members of Congress greet
ed President Truman's message on
Civil rights last week. Taking adj
vantage of this, COP leaders has
tened to push thru to the floor of
the House a bill furnishing lynch
ing, and the Senate Labor Commit
tee on a vote which split both
parties adherents - approved the
permanent FEPC bill.
There appeared to be only one
concrete action expressing southern
hostility, so far as Democratic Par
ty circles were concerned. Some
funds from southern Jackson Day
dinners on Feb. 19 may be with
held from the Democratic Natl
Committee. Chairman ]. Howard
McGrath indicated that the DNC

More cynical Republicans indicat-
ed little hope that either the anti
lynching bill or the FEPC bill
would get past a southern Demo-
crat filibuster in the Senate. While
the anti-lynching bill has official
COP support, it will encounter the
loudest and longest southern at
tack. On the other hand, the FEPC
bill was opposed in the Senate La
Dor Committee vote by COP lead
err Robert A. Taft, Sen. Joseph Ball
(R., Minn.) and Forrest Donnell
(R., Mo-, as well as Democrats
Allen J. Ellender (La.), Lister Hill
(Ala.). Sen. Claude Pepper d.,
Fla.) was absent and gave no
proxy.
The southern protest over Tru-
mans very complete message on
:ivil rights was called ''just a lit
lie shin kicking within the fam
ly" by Rep. James w. Trimble 3D.,
Ark.). However, other Democrats
predicted that the Southern Gov

Printers Seek
Ruling tn Law


Indianapolis (LPA)-A direct at
tack on the constitutionality of the
Taft Hartley Act highlighted the
Intl Typographical Unions battle
here last week against the injunc-
tion sought by Robert N. Denham
general counsel of the Natl Labor
Relations Board.
At hearings on the injunction,
i held before Federal Judge Luther
M. Swygert, union counsel Henry
Kaiser Immediately raised legal
challenge and asked that Denham's
petition be dismissed.
Kaiser contended that the injunc-
tion section of the law outrightly
violates constitutional guarantees.
He also pressed another legal OBJ
jection-namely that NLRB region
al directors had no valid right un-
der the Act to seek injunctions, and
that this right rested solely with
the Board itself.
Judge Swygert recessed the pro-
ceedings in order to rule on the
legal points. This delay snagged
the efforts of Denham and news
paper publishers to get a quick in
junction. They had hoped to stop
the ITU dead in its tracks by en-
joining all its activities in defense
of the "union shop" and of long
established union standards in the
printing and publishing industry.
Also, Judge Swygert gave all
branches of organized labor the
right to file briefs supporting the
ITU in its battle against the con-
stitutionality of the laws injunc-
tive powers.
The AFL, CIO, Machinists and
Mine Workers all followed up by
filing briefs. The lam brief, sub
mitted in the name of President
Harvey w. Brown, contended that
the Act is unconstitutional because
it permits an injunction to restrain
union activities, before a decision
is even made on whether such ac-
tivities violate the law.
Such "upside-down" procedure,
Brown maintained, is in direct con-
flict with the constitution which
prohibits depriving anyone of "life,
liberty or property without due pro-
cess of law"
Action of the NLRB in delegat-
ing to Denham sole authority to
seek injunctions also violates the
law, Browns brief declared. SINH
lar briefs were presented by the
other labor organizations
The ITU hailed the intervention
of the other labor groups. "These
powerful reinforcements are time
ly and welcomed" the union said.

S25O,OOO Fund For
Organizing Drive

Washington (LPA)- The Com
munications Workers of America
unaffiliated last week held a meet
ing of its executive board at which
any nationwide demand for the
100000 telephone workers whose
contracts expire this spring was
deferred. Bargaining will be on a
local basis, CWA President Joseph
Beirne announced, with wage fig
ures to be determined when "ne-
gotiations are more nearly at
hand"
The unions top body voted tc
increase its organizing budget from
$78,O00 to $250,000 a year The aim
of this action is two-fold, union
spokesmen explained: to flight the
raiding" of the Telephone Work
ers Organizing Committee-CIO;
and to bring into the labor move
ment the 100000 workers most of
whom are still outside CWA or
TWOC.
The contract demands of CWA,
besides higher wages, will include
job protection provisions in accord
ance with seniority, termination
pay clauses, pension improvements,
union shop, and "fringe issues pc
culiar to a certain locality or type
of work, or where present condi-
tions are below prevailing industry
standards"
A $1,000 donation was voted to
the American Communications
Ass'n-CIO and the All American
Employees Ass'n-unaffiliated, whose
members have been on strike since
Jan. 2 against MacKay Radio e.
Telegraph Co., Commercial Gable
Co., All-America Cables, and the
cables division of Western Union.
Other actions passed by the
board included one supporting lift
ing of the prohibitive federal taxes
on margarine, and another reject
ing a proposal of the Seventh Day
Advents that their members in
stead of paying dues contribute to
specific charities. The Adventist
proposal was rejected because
while CWA agrees Americans
should have freedom to think as
they wish, "this basic right does
not carry with it the additional
absolute right to impose distinc-
tions and differences in treatment
upon those of other faiths and be-
liefs, engaged in cooperative ac-
tivities designed for mutual protec-
tion and betterment."
Opposing Henry Wallace's third
party movement, the board voted
to set up a nationwide legislative
and political action program, fl
nanced thru 81 voluntary contri-
buttons of CWA members.

End Seen For Russion-D ominofed
WFTU: Protests Soviet Influence

Washington, ID. C.--The virtual
end Of the Soviet-dominated World
Federation Of Trade Unions was
seen here as the result of recent
developments in the international
labor field.
The basis for the belief in the
early demise Of the federation is
the recent action Of Arthur Deakin,
federation president and general
secretary of the British Transport
and General Workers Uuion, in ac-
cusing the federation Of acting un-
der Soviet control by refusing to
call a conference Of its executive
bureau to discuss the European Re
covery Program.
This action is taken to mean that
the British Trades Union Congress,
which affiliated with the WFTU,
will now throw its support behind
the AFL-sponsored meeting Of free
trade unions of is European ma
tions which is scheduled for next
month in Brussels. 1t is expected
that a new international labor or
ganization. excluding the Rus
slams, may develop from this forth
coming conference.
In explanation of his stand, Mr..
Deakin said that last November the
executive bureau Of the WFTU de-
cided to hold it's next meeting be-
fore the end of February and TO
hold conference of the trades
secretariat not later than the mid
die of January.
Both these decisions, it seems"
said Mr.. Deakin, "are now to be
ignored following discussions be-
tween the secretary general and
representatives of the All-Central
Council of Soviet Unions"
According to Mr.. Deakin there
was a majority in the executive
bureau desirous of holding these
meetings and "it was only when
the Soviet representatives refused
to attend that the others changed
their opinion"
"If, therefore, the position is now
that the WFTU is to be merely a
political body dealing only with
those questions acceptable to the
U. S. S. r., we know where we
stand," he continued. "In other
words, if there is to be a lineup
of those national centers accepting
the policy laid down by the Comm
form Communist Information Bu-
reau) against those who don't, then
this decision must be regarded as
a reversal of the policy laid down
by the London and Paris confer
ences of the WFTU which sought
to establish world trade union unity
on the broadest possible basis of
help"
