Cincinnati (LPA)-The kind Of
housing legislation the AFL will
fight for in the next Congress was
made clear at its convention here.
A declaration adopted by the
delegates specified that such leg
islation "must include an adequate
program of farm and rural hous-
ing, slum clearance and urban re-
development, and aids for financing
of large-scale cooperative and non
profit housing for middle-income
families"
Also: "Direct Federal aid to
local housing authorities for con-
! 5truction of public housing projects
as the only possible way of secur-
ing decent homes for low-income
families now living under crowded,
unhealthful and slum conditions"
One new feature of the resolu-
tion was the fast that it proposes
erection of 100000 locally con-
trolled low-rent housing units
twice the number proposed in the
Taft Ellender- Wagner bill which
died in the 80th Congress.

REFUSAL TO HIRE DISABLED
ASSAILED BY VA OFFICIAL

New York City QLNS). - The
practices of employers who balk
at hiring qualified disabled persons
was condemned at the fall confer
ence of the Business Education As
sociation Of the State of New York.
Joseph ]. Kelley, chief of the
Education and Training Section of
the Veterans Administration, told
$50 business school owners, admin
istrators and teachers that many
business men felt they were gett-
ing an inferior worker when they
hired disabled veterans. With the
Tightening of the labor market, he
predicted that the predicament of
the disabled would become more
serious.
Despite this, he said that the
Veterans Administration and the
schools were expanding every eff
fort to remedy Jthe situation. He
called on those present to promote
a two-point program; one aimed at
educating the disabled so that he
could compete with those not
handicapped; the other aimed at
educating the employer to over
come his present obstinacy.

Wants Taxpayers
Foot Strike Costs

Seattle LPA)-Joseph L. Nc
Breen, vice-president of the Int1
Association of Machinists-unaffil-
lated, revealed last week that the
Boeing Airplane Co. is trying to
get the American taxpayers to foot
the bill for its nearly six-month
attempt to break its employees un-
ion.
Boeing workers, members of
lam District 81, were on strike
from April till Sept. 80 as a result
of the company's unwillingness to
bargain in good faith. Two weeks
ago the NLRB completely sustain
ed the unions charges against
Boeing and ordered the aircraft
firm to bargain with the lam.
Now it appears that Boeing's
anti-union president, William M.
Allen, is asking the Air Force to
approve retroactive increase in
its costs to cover its strike losses.
He wants a loosely worded con-
tract clause that okays price in
creases if costs go up construed to
cover the costs" of Boeing's at
tempt at union-busting.
"Boeing management" McBreen
declared, "is trying to convince the
Air Force that union-busting is a
legitimate expense in the produc-
ton of airplanes and should be
paid for by the taxpayers of this
country"
The issue is important to all of
labor, McBreen explained. "If the
Air Force, or any other procure
ment agency, agrees to make up
losses incurred by its contractors
during strikes, then government
have little incentive to
settle with their employees in peace
ful collective bargaining.

Strike To Upset Uncertified
Union Legal, NLRB Holds

Washington, D. c. QLNS). -
The National Labor Relations
Board has ruled it is legal for one
union to strike in an effort to take
over collective bargaining powers
from another union which has
never been certified by the board.
The boards decision followed a
dispute involving rival unions at
the Perry Norvell Shoe plant,
Huntington, w. Va. The AFL
Boot and Shoe Workers Union
local had long-term contract with
the company, but it had never been
formally certified by the NLRB as
bargaining agent for the workers.
The board held it was legal for
rival union forces to strike because
the AFL union lacked certification
by the board.

Cincinnati (LPA) y w. Averill
Hartman, the railroad magnate
and banker who is rowing Euro
pean ambassador under the Euro
pean recovery program, got the
surprise of his life at the AFL con-
vention here.
In a rather diffident, uncertain
manner, without oratorical flour
ishes, Hartman described the aims
of the ERP and lauded labor's
participation in it as vital to its
success.
When he finished, he got one Of
the biggest demonstrations of the
convention. Delegates cheered and
whistled so long that Hartman
awed by it all-came back to the
rostrum to respond to demands for
an encore"
Hartman got big hand when
he explained that he "was in Eu-
rope at the time of the Nov. 2
election and | can tell you that, as
a result of the election, a new feel
ing of confidence in the US swept
across Europe"
"They understand now," Harri-
man said, "that the US will be a
progressive and liberal influence
in the world; that the US will be
sympathetically understanding the
aspirations of the people of Eu-
rope. Our moral influence has in
creased.
"In this great enterprise of lead
ing the world to freedom and
peace" he added, american labor
has an important role. With your
full participation, the people of
the US can and will, | believe, lay
the firm foundations of interna-
tional relations by which men can
live together in freedom"
Hartman was accompanied to
the convention by Boris Shishkin,
AFL economist, who heads the la
Dor division at Paris headquarters
of the ERP.

coal dust, resulting in the propa-

accumulation Of gas was caused by
defective ventilation and unsafe
mining practices; the propagation
of flame by coal dust over a wide

New Group To Investigate
Chemicals Cdusing Cancer

New York City QLNS).--A new
cancer prevention committee has
I~Seen formed here to study chemic-
is that cause cancer and to devise
methods for preventing persons
from coming in contact with such
chemicals. The group is headed by
DR.. William E. Smith, a member of
the staff of the Manufacturing In
stitute for Cancer Research, a divi-
sion of Memorial Hospital Center.
DR.. Smith said several hundred
chemicals are known to be capable
of producing cancer in animals,
and in some cases in human beings.
The committees work will include
testing of materials to find if they
have cancer-producing abilities and
then carrying over the laboratory
findings into everyday life to form
ulate practical methods for pre-
venting people from coming in con-
tact with these materials.
DR.. Smith asserted that it is
known that chimney SCOT is cap
able of causing cancer of the skin
in human beings, and for that rea-
son one object of the committee
will be to assemble information
about smoke in New York City and
find means Of combating the nuis-
ance.
"Skin cancer, however, is not the
problem" he declared. "We pro-
tect our skin by washing. But we
cannot protect our lungs from ex-
posure to inhaled SCOT unless the
city adopts adequate smoke-control
measures to prevent pollution of
bthe air we all breathe.
% 81 am convinced that a great
deal of cancer prevention depends
not on medical means but on en-
gineering procedures and public
awareness of the need for prevent
ing contact with cancer-producing
chemicals. The constant, heavy
pollution of the city's air with SCOT
is an example Of a preventable
hazard"

Secretary-treasurer Stanley Earl

that $40 families were left home

that powerful financial interests
had blocked passage by Congress

yided decent housing for the vic

Christmas is at hand. And dur
ing the days when we are told to
remember the Prince of Peace, the
dogs of war are feeding at the
trough.
There is no need to think it will
be otherwise for a good long time.
Go your way. Have a Merry
Christmas. Spend your money and
give your gifts.
Even while the dogs of war con-
sumo veraciously, there still is
money left.
The cost of living, for millions,
rises fairly high over income. Still
there is money for many things.
With all these things as they
are, we still have form of peace.
Meaning by that, that we have
thus far no shooting. If "peace" is
the wrong word for our condition,
then let US call it a non-violent
period. 1t has been called the cold
war.
No bombs are dropped, no germs
are being let loose, no gas is in the
air.
Go your way, make merry as you
will, give your gifts-and hope we
may have another Christmas no
worse.
1t may be that we can ride
through without a shooting war.
1t may be, but don't bank on it.

pattern is shaped by Russia-the
Russia of communism.
1t could be that these events are
largely planned in advance, NOV
ing toward a climax-like a pair
of vindictive hands moving with
lighted match toward a fuse.
In any event, the one thing sure
is that Russia makes the pattern,
sets the tempo-calls the tune.
That is not a happy thought for
the nations which must either
dance to that tune, or risk the con-
of refusal.
In Russia it probably is coldly
calculated risk.
And so, even in these Christmas
lays, we must feed our dogs of
var and we must feed them well.
