decades Lucy Robins Lang spent
fighting social injustice. She begins
her story with her early days in
Russia's Ukraine, her birthplace,
traces it swiftly through her $1-a-
week apprenticeship in a Chicago
cigar factory at the age of ten,
follows through her struggle to
help free Eugene Debs, fight for
Tom Moneys release and with the
support Of A. f. of LIS Samuel
Gompers, goes on plunging from
one Cause to another. She skirts
past Anarchism, past Communism,
takes bout with Fascism. She
poses all the "Isms" of yesterday

LaYoff Reports Used To
Turn Back Wdge Demands

Washington (LPA)-The widely
publicized reports of 100 workers
laid off in community after COM
munity are just an attempt to
scare unions into holding off on
their demands for pay increases.
Outside of the textile and clothing
industries and coal mining, there
have been no large-scale layoffs so
far, despite newspaper headlines.
That's what government figures
and private surveys show, and
many businessmen admit privately.
One business reporter actually
had the nerve to say it out loud
last week. Wrote c. F. Hughes,
NY Times columnist:
"In industry there was consider
able news of layoffs for one rea-
son or another until a suspicion
was formed that some word had
been passed along that it would be
a good thing for chamber of COM
merce secretaries and others to
publicize such information. The
object required no Sherloc k
Holmes.
"If industry is firing instead of
hiring, then a fourth round of
wage increases is scarcely in order.
"Some of these layoff stories
were run to ground. In one case of
a nearby manufacturing center it
was indicated that some workers
have been dismissed but that the
level of employment still hugs the
average set during wartime"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-12-23

Investigating layoffs on rail
roads, also well publicized, Labor,
publication OF the rail brother
hoods, pointed out that while rail
workers were being laid off because
of "drop in business" profits
were running 500 above last
years figures.
Final tipoff to the 'layoff pub
licity drive" was seen in a speech
made by General Electric Presi-
dent Charles E. Wilson when he
dedicated a new power plant in
Shelby, N. C. Wire services report
ing the speech led off with this
statement: Charles e. Wilson said
tonight industrial cutbacks and un-
employment might result from
fourth round of general wage in
creaSes."

More Ways Than
One To Skin Cat

Washington (LPA)-After last
months congressional hearings on
car dealers, most of US thought
we'd heard of all the ways they
gypped customers out of S450,000,-
600 this year.
However, when hearings reopen
ed last week before the House sub
committee headed by Rep. w.
Kingsland Macy OR, N.Y. an en-
tirely new racket came to light. A
character known thru Washington
advertising as "Uncle Joe" Cher
ner, president of Cherner Motor
Company, Ford dealer, has new
wrinkle which isn't as easy to pull
off as most of the standard car
rackets. For this one you have to
own a bank.
Witnesses testified that 1886
customers were still waiting for
delivery of new cars on the Cher
ner list. 1t seems that 101 of these
orders were taken before 1916.
Only Is of the 109 cars delivered
last July went to customers on the
list and only one to man who had
no car to trade in. The customers
have $4,000 on deposit for the pri-
vilege of being on the list.
That, you may say, is nothing
new. The new angle is that Cher
ner deposited the money in his own
bank and invested it in building
and loan deals which paid him $13,-
024 in dividends. The money grows
while it sits around and the de-
positors get none of the interest.
No wonder he's in no hurry to fill
those orders.
J. r. Davis, a vice-president of
the Ford Motor Co. told the sub
committee that "a Ford dealers
have lost their franchises for gray
market transactions during the last
two years. He refused to comment
on Cherner, who still has the fran
chise for two Ford agencies in the
Washington area.

Plans Hearing On
Struck Plant Raid

Kalamazoo, Mich. UPA) - La
bor-baiter Clare Hoffman, Republi-
can congressman from Michigan,
had his bluff called last week by a
Democratic congressman and a
Republican state attorney general.
Hoffman recently held a hearing
on a raid of the struck Shakespeare
Co. plants here, charging repre-
sentatives of United Steelworkers
with violence.
Rep. John Lesinski Cd, Mich.),
who will become chairman of the
House Labor Committee on Jan. 3,
declared last week that Hoffman
had mo more authority than a rab-
bit to make his investigation" and
that he Gesinski) will hold real
hearing when the next congress
session begins. The Democratic
congressman told newsmen that he
heard the strikers hadn't been
given a fair trial.
The main effect of the Hoffman
hearing was to give the news
papers headlines about "goons."
Among those subpoenaed was
Michigan's Attorney General Eu-
gene f. Black. Jumped on by Hoff-
man for failing to prosecute enough
labor unions, Black bluntly told the
Representative, 81 don't play to
the press as you do"
A one-man jury investigation of
the raid has been going on since
right after it took place, Dee. J..
Steelworker officials said they
would assist the jury in its investi-
cation.
The two Shakespeare plants in
Kalamazoo have been struck since
early September when 700 workers
walked out asking for a 10c hourly
boost, reduction of the probation
ary period from 90 to 80 days, and
a voice in setting up piece stand
ards.
On Dec. / about 900 steelwork
ers from plants around the state
came in a caravan to support
rally for the Shakespeare strikers.
When they arrived there was
riot, ears were overturned and sew
eral people were injured. State
Steelworkers Director Tom Shane
said the trouble was started by
scabs. Cars with out-of-state lie
ense plates, charged with doing
much of the damage, belonged to
the strikebreakers, Shane asserted.

Record Making Ban Ends As Attorney
General Upholds Welfare Fund Pact

Washington, d. c. (ILNS). -
With approval by Attorney Gener-
al Clark of two agreements be-
tween the recording companies and
the American Federation of Mus
icians, the way was cleared for inn
mediate resumption of record MAX
ing, banned by the union since last
Jan. l.
Following announcement of
Clark's opinion, the major record
producing firms and the union
signed a new contract in New
York, providing for a welfare fund
to be financed by a royalty on each
record sold. Ceremonies attending
signing of the contract included in
stallation of Samuel r. Rosen-
baum, a director of the Philadel-
phia Orchestra Association, as i'm
partial trustee of the welfare fund.
Attorney General Clark support
ed a memorandum prepared by
William S. Tyson, solicitor of the
Department of Labor, which had
been asked by the union and the
recording companies for an opin-
ion as to the legality of the agree
ments, covering the welfare fund
and working conditions. The well
fare fund comprises royalties of /
cent to 2H cents on each record.
The money is to be spent by the
trustee on musical performances
where "no admission fee is to be
charged and without any profit to
the trust fund, in connection with
patriotic charitable, educational
and similar programs"
The impartial trustee, who is a
realty man, has long been active in
musical affairs in Philadelphia. He
has headed the Robin Hood Dell
Concerts and for many years has
been either a director or officer of
the Philadelphia Orchestra.
In the field Of radio, Rosenbaum
was formerly president of Station
WILL in Philadelphia and also a
leader of the nations Independent
broadcasters. In the latter capacity
he criticized, in 1942, the tactics of
the National Association Of Broad
casters in its running feud with
President James C. Petrillo of the
AIM.
Expressing himself specifically
,on the matter of records, Rosen-
baum said at the time That it was
not surprising tn at musicians
should protest the loss Of employ
.ment resulting from the use of
disks which they themselves had
made. He added that "there is an
economic and human problem here
which must be approached with
tolerance and understanding"
To Administer Big Fund
As trustee, Rosenbaum will ad-
minister fund amounting to more
than $2,000,000 annually.
The establishment of a trustee
ship was agreed upon by the union
and the record companies as a
means of complying with provis-
ions Of the Taft Hartley law. Prior
to the start of the record ban there
was a royalty fund which was adj
ministered exclusively by the un-
ion. The fees also were paid by the
employers directly to the union.
Both of these procedures were out
lawed under the Taft Hartley Act.

cost of the 40-hour week would be
about $3.50, 900 to the railroads
for the last four months of 1949,
but it predicted that by 1850 in
creasing productivity would stead
lily reduce the cost of the shorter
week. The 7c increase, the board
said, will come to about 90,000,-
600 a year.
The board conceded the 7c boost
was less than the national third
round pattern increase for indus
tries generally, but sought to JUS
tify this by pointing to the 206
hike in hourly rates which will
come next September.

COP Planning
Post Morfe m

Washington (LPA)-Rep. Hugh
Scott (Pa.), Republican Natl Com
mittee chairman, announced plans
last week for a thorogoing post
mortem on the COPS November
shellacking.
More than 10000 Republican
state, ward and precinct leaders
are being asked to tell the commit
tee why the COP lost. Then the
party will hold a policy conference
to discuss Congressional activities
for the coming year and election
plans for 1950-if the party accepts
Scott's project.
Rumors of an attempt to oust
the Philadelphia advocate of gov
ernment-by-our-" chest stock" have
sent Scott scurrying around to a
number of Natl Committee mem
bers for assurances that they'll
support his desire to retain the
COP Craftsmanship for the next
TOUR years.
Several of the more enlightened
Republican senators have welcom-
ed Scott's conference proposal in
hopes that it'll give them a chance
to commit the party to a more ad-
vanced program than that eontem-
plated in the 1913 platform.
Conservative Sen. Joseph Nc
Carthy Or, Wis., expressed the
common run of Republican opinion
about the policy conclave idea,
however, when he said: at can't

for charging depreciation at re-

for imposing on the consumer and
the taxpayer the burden of meet

writing off depreciation on assets
for the second time, though they
have already been fully charged

Russian Agents Reported
In the Philippines

DR.. Manuel V. Gallego, Secretary
of Public instruction is in the
United States for a three-week in
tensive study of American post
war educational methods.
Speaking on communist influ-
enee in the Philippines, DR.. Gal
lego said that some members of
the American armed forces in the
Philippines appear to be commun-
lists or communist sympathizers
and to be giving or selling muni-
lions to dissident forces there. He
also said there was evidence that
Russian agents, who came to the
Philippines by submarine or small
boats, were working with the
Huks.
DR.. Gallego declared that the
question of the maintenance of
peace and order in the Philippines
has been exaggerated in the Unit
ed States. Most Hulk activity, he
added, is concentrated in the ag-
ricultural areas of Central Luzon,
"the granary of the Islands,
When the American forces land
ed in Central Luzon, he continued,
they distributed arms to anyone
who would aid in the fight against
the Japanese. These weapons are
now being used against the Gov
eminent with ammunition that
must be coming from American
deserters and communists and
communist sympathizers within the
American armed forces.
