Requested FBI To
Match Tactics In
Penna. Election

Washington (LPA) = PAC Dir
ector Jack Kroll last week reveal
ed that the PAC in Harrisburg,
Pa, has asked the Attorney Gener-
al to assign FBI agents to keep an
eye on the election-day tactics of
the Republican machine in Dauph-
in County.
Kroll said George Medrick, of
PAC in Harrisburg, the state cap
ital, wired the request to the JUS
tice Dept. National PAC endorsed
the demand.
Recently local detectives frisked
members and friends entering a
prediction PAC rally. Medrick
wired Attorney General Clark that
lever-pulling, illegal assistance,
bribing and intimidation of voters
are the "well known practice" of
the COP wheel-horses in Harris
burg.
Even one of the local newspapers,
not noted for its pro-laber bias,
said editorially that it would well
come FBI surveillance of the polls.
Kroll told reporters that over
$4,000 political action workers were
putting in full time at the polls on
election day. Many more members,
he declared, devoted as much time
as they could to the final stint.
Since July IL, the PAC chief
said, the group has distributed
over 100000 pieces of nationally
published literature, and has fur
nished $50 campaign speakers.
Local PACs have put out even
more pamphlets and flyers, Kroll
declared, and have sponsored over
800 radio shows.

WFTU Death Seen; wen Russians May
Not Lift Hand To Save Organization

Washington, d. G. (ILNS).-
Chester Wright's Labor Letter,
edited by John Herling, said that
the World Federation of Trade I'm
ions no longer has any point and
that the best informed opinion is
that it may not take another full
meeting of the organization to de-
clare it officially dead.
"That seems like a sensible esti-
mate of the situation" the Labor
Letter continued. eff the WFTU
could work up enough interest to
have a full-blown. conference, it
would mean there was a chance to
keep it alive.
"The death-wish for WFTU is
operating on all cylinders. British
don't want it; The CIO doesn't want
t; the non-Communist labor groups
in Europe say the only thing that
holds up the death-march of the
WFTU is the u. S. and Britain to
establish the exact order of preced-
9nce in unloading the unpleasant
burden.
"With all this under way, it
would surprise no one to see the
Russians let the WFTU die on, the
vine. Communists are not senti-
mentalists. When a united front
no longer does the job, the Com
munists ditch it, or may quietly
shelve it.
"This is certainly clear: main
Communist energies are being ap-
piled through direct Communist
channels. Enough of this by-play'

Green Charges Conspiracy To Import
Mexican Farm Workers Illegally

Washington, ID. {. ULNS).--
Farm labor employers and govern
ment officials conspired in illegal
importation Of Mexican farm work
ers, President William Green of the
American Federation Of Labor
charged in Il letter to Secretary of
State Marshall, Attorney General
Clark and Administrator Ewing of
the Federal Security Agency.
As Green's letter was made pub
lie, the Department of State ann
ounced that Mexico had accepted
as satisfactory" the u. S. govern
ments apology for allowing several
thousand Mexican laborers to
stream across the Texas border
recently in violation of an agree
ment between the two countries.
Mexico had protested the incident
AFL Charges Confirmed
The department said it had
promised Mexico the laborers would
be sent home.
The American note, which con
firmed charges in the AFL protest,
made these points:
/. Investigation showed that the
entry of the Mexican nationals in
to Texas along the border near FL
paso was illegal" 2. The Immi-
grafton and Naturalization Service
already has begun deporting the
Mexicans. 3. Orders have been is
sued to stop all further illegal inn
migration.
In his letter to the u. S. officials,
President Green said that "in the
light of world developments, our
government should be mindful of
the importance Of dealing decisive
ly with all violations of agreements
and law enforcement, especially
those violations involving human
welfare and the protection of life
He declared that the health of
Mexicans illegally imported was
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-11-04

In conclusion, the Labor Letter
says the Congress of Industrial
Organizations current drive on
Communists within the CIO means
similar policy against them in
the WFTU.
"Tired of Split Personality"
"CIO is tired of it's split person
atty" the Letter explains. "The
position taken by Carey at WFTU
executive meetings in Rome and
then in Paris, and prior to that his
spectacular effort at appealing to
reason in Moscow constitute the
last large scale effort-for the
salvation of the organization.
"Top CIO leader says it's no
longer comfortable to sit around
the same table to talk with Com
munists as if they were friends.
They aren't; no use kidding our
selves any more"

.NLRB FIGHTS STAY
In ITU INJUNCTION

Washington, ID. C. (ILNS) -
The National l. bor Relations
Board pressed its fight on the In
ternational Typographical Unior
by seeking Oct. rs to force the un-
ion to comply Immediately with a
contempt order issued in Indian
apolis.
Robert N. Denham, general coun-
sci of the board, asked the Circuit
Court of Appeals in Chicago to
vacate "in the public interest" its
decision granting the union more
time to comply with the order.
Judge Luther NJ. Swygert of lndi-
annapolis found the union in con-
tempt for insisting on closed shop
conditions in the newspaper indus
try in violation Of the Taft-Hart-
ley law. He ordered it to reimburse
the government for the cost of the
trial.
Denham told the Circuit Court
the unions request for stay was
frivolous" and that the union
greatly exaggerated the injury"
to result if required to comply inn
mediately.

not guarded and that they were
not protected against exploitation,
The AL chief further said:
"Our reports state that many of
the Mexican citizens who crossed
the international boundary were
placed under technical arrest by
the immigration authorities and
paroled to the Employment Service
representatives who then assigned
them to private employment for
work on farms in nearby states.
This action borders on peonage and
is violation of the United States
statutes against involuntary ser
vitude. While these illegal entries
were centered in FL Paso, they ex-
tended all along the border.
Health Menace Seen
'The AFL Building Trades Coun-
ell in FL Paso reports that some of
these illegal aliens applied for jobs
in construction work at rates of
pay from 40 cents to 60 cents an
hour whereas the established rate
of pay is so cents and 80 cents an
hour.
Further, Mexican nationals al
lowed to enter without regard to
our immigration laws did not re-
ceive medical examinations and this
constitutes menace to the health
and welfare of all of our citizens.
In addition, there is no effort to
require employers to provide sani-
tary quarters or to protect Mexi-
cans against exploitation and fail
ure to pay for work done.
Prosecution Suggested
"The American Federation of
Labor urges that all Mexican ma
tionals who were permitted to en-
ter Illegally by the U. S. Immigra-
tion authorities be apprehended
and deported to Mexico. We fur
ther suggest that American citiz-
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-11-04

were unemployed.
Tobin also pointed out that the
law benefited decent employers
by eliminating competition based
on substandard labor conditions
from interstate commerce.
"Present Minimums Obsolete"
"After 10 years experience" the
Secretary continued, 'it is time to
take stock and see how the wage
and hour law can be improved in
order that it will better live up to
its purpose of eliminating labor
conditions detrimental to the gen
eral well-being of workers.
''It is of foremost Importance to
increase the minimum wage to rs
cents an hour, with provision for
even higher increases in those in
dustries where recommendations of
industry committees indicate it is
economically feasible. In the light
of present living costs, the Accent
minimum hourly rate has become
obsolete, for 1t now takes about
20 cents to buy what 40 cents would
have bought when the wage-hour
law was enacted by Congress in
1888.
81 am convinced that it is time to
extend its benefits to some millions
of workers who are now exempt
from the minimum wage or over
time requirements. To do this, it
will be necessary that Congress
amend exemptions now applying to
various employees in transportation
industries and to seamen, and to
employees handling or processing
farm products and fish, and clarity
the exemption for retail and service
establishments. The goal should be
