Strike in Manhattan
BY the Asseeiafsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The first Of

today, but you could still buy drinks

ct lines could 60 into hotel or res
taurant or simply stroll over to the
West side of town. There, west of
Fifth avenue, between 42d and 112th
streets, taverns serviced by another
bartenders local were open. Alto
gether, there are about $500 drink
ing establishments in Manhattan.
Local IS voted to strike yesterday
after union negotiators reported
that the employers group. the
United Restaurant Liquor Dealers OF
Manhattan, had turned down union
demands.
Mark Scanlon, executive secre-
tary Of the owners association,
said the current contract, running
to 1850, contains a no-strike clause
and provides for arbitration of dis
putes.
Jack Townsend. president Of the
union local, said it now will seek to
negotiate individual contracts with
tavern owners. He listed the To-
calls objectives as:
A 40-hour, five-day week instead
of the present, six-day. 48-hour
week, with continuance Of the pres
ent $50 weekly minimum wage; a
welfare fund into which the en-
ployers would pay So weekly per

Foreign Use Of U. s. Films
Seen Dropping Again
By the Assoeiofed Press

American movie makers receipts
from foreign showings of their films
will drop of to about 100000, 900
this year, the Commerce Department
predicted last night.
That's a drop of $4,000, 900 from
1e47 and $28, ,000. 900 from l946-and
helps explain why Hollywood pro-
ducers have been singing the busi-
ness blues and talking about cost
cutting drives.
Britain, giving the American
moviemen the biggest blow of all,
will turn in only about $35 ,000. 900
in royalties on United States film
showings there this year against
$56, ,00o, 900 last year and $4,000, 900
in 1916.

THEY ARE NOT HELPING LABOR

Those Of US who live in Washington and
work for the Clio have been discussing the
advisability of launching a campaign to get
Congress to change the names of the labor
committees it has established.
We found without doing any difficult
checking-that the agriculture committees
work for the interests Of the farmers and the
business and commerce committees work
for the interests Of business and industry.
But the labor committees. consistent with
COP policy. follow an anti union, pro-Taft-
Hartley line.
We think, frankly, that our campaign. if
launched. would fall flat on its face.
And we know it would be much better for
labor to change the makeup Of the committees
than to change their names.
That a job that can be accomplished only
at the polls.

JUST WHO IS LABOR?

Some editorial writer's who profess to be-
lieve that the Taft-Hartley act is just simply
wonderful have written a new theme song
which they probably will sing from now until
election day in November.
They haven't given it a title yet but it goes
like this:
Union leaders don't represent labor.
The workers-the good. honest-to-Cod
American workers. that is-think Til is a
fine law. but the union bosses oppose it be-
cause it threatens their stranglehold on the
country
Now, really, doesn' that raise an interesting
pointo Who-or what's labor. and who
can speak for labor?
Somehow or other we got the idea that the
$1,000, 900 unionists in the Y. S. were entitled
to speak Of themselves as labor"
We seem to recall that each year there are
thousands of democratically-c onducted union
elections throughout the country.
And we don't remember a single instance
in which an anti-union editorial writer was
chosen as a spokesman for labor!

THERE'S SOME SILVER LINING

There's no doubt about it; that special ses-
sion of Congress put US in a foul mood. as we'll
it might. So we started hunting for a bit of sill
yer lining in the dark cloud which hung over
US.
We found it down in Tennessee. where Estes
Kefauver and Gordon Browning tossed a cou-
pie Of monkey wrenches into old Boss Crump's
political machine.
Crump. who had been riding high and wide
if not so handsome for 20 or more years, really
bit the political dust. And one Of the groups
which helped him achieve defeat was the Clio.
which the Crump forces years ago threatened
to run out of Memphis.
1t was good to see a man like Kefauver win
the senatorial nomination over a man Crump
backed and a man Crump had just cast aside.
1t was good to see Browning. who was once
defeated by the Crump machine. prove that a
man can stage a gubernatorial comeback.
But is was even better to see a group of fight
ers shatter the great illusion that in Tennessee
you CAM win without Crump $ support"
