AMERICAN GAS TO SPEND HALF
BILLION IN EXPANSION PROGRAM

A 10 year expansion program in
volving an expenditure of more than
a half billion dollars is being plan
ned by the American Gas and Elec-
tric Company, R. T. Couch, District
Mgr. of The Ohio Power said last
week upon returning from the an
nual Managers meeting held at
lOglebay Park, near Wheeling, w.
Va.
The Ohio Power Company is one
of six operating companies of the
American Gas and Electric system
which serves territories in seven
states.
The necessary expansion to keep
pace with the accelerated power
demands in this area was outlined
by Philip Sporn, President of AM
erican Gas and Electric Company,
to managers and other executives
attending the two day annual con-
ference.
Citing past experience as the
basis for future requirements, Mr..
Sporn said that the American Gas
and Electric Company has had an
increase of 1850 in customers over
the past 20 years. In the last 10
years, the number of rural custom
ers alone has increased by 1309o.
In addition to existing plants,
several of which are being expend-
ed, Mr.. Sporn, said, five new plants
are being planned or are already
under construction. By 1858 the
systems plants will have a total
generating capacity of approx
mately 100000 kilowatts, an in
crease Of more than 1000 over the
present capacity. Several hundred
million dollars additional also will
be spent on expanding distribution
facilities, he added.
Involved in this expansion pro-
gram will be four major problems,
Mr.. Sporn explained. They will be

on-voter Nov. z
Called Menace TO
w WeIfare OF All

New York (LPA)-The unionist
who doesn't vote Nov. 2 is "a threat
to the well-being of his fellows,
vice-presidential candidate Alber
Barkley told a Carnegie Hall audi
ence made up Of members Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers at
a prediction rally last week.
The Kentucky senator appeal for
"the heaviest vote in history, to
elect Harry Truman as president
and to bring about the one change
we do need, and that is a change
from reactionary Republican
Congress to a liberal Democratic
Congress in Washington"
Speaking from the same platform
lACW President Jacob Potofsky
lcontrasted the Republican and
Democratic records on labor laws,
prices, housing, rent control, edu-
cation, minimum wage, and social
security. On each, Potofsky charg-
ed, the COPS one thought is: Give
the people nothing"
"Dewey's strength is no greater
than in 1884," according to even
the most conservative opinion polls,
the ACW head pointed out, but his
candidacy is getting a boost from
the disunity tactics Of Henry Wall
ace Dewey can't win a clear maj
ority. He is banking on enough
Dixiecrats and Wallace votes to
give him a victory"
Barkley told his audience exact
ly what a Democratic administra-
ton would do: repeal the Taft
Hartley act and substitute basic
remedies for industrial strife; raise
the minimum wage to 75c an hour;
increase by 500 old age and sur
vivors insurance benefits, and ex-
tend social security protection; re-
build the Labor Dept; support the
right of all to equal opportunity Of
employment, regardless of race,
creed or color; prompt action to
curb initiation; fulfill the pledge in
the Employment Act Of 1916.

Dewey Puts Senator's Reelection
Ahecd of Justice For REFUGEES

Spencer, w. Va. LPA) - Re-
member how the Republican presi-
dental nominee Thomas f.
Dewey's press department leaked
the story that Dewey wouldn't
speak in West Virginia because he
didn't want to campaign for COP
Sen. Chapman Revercomb's reelec-
ton? Dewey doesn't care about
the bigoted Revercomb's being re-
elected, the stories ran, because
Dewey has a liberal position on the
immigration Of European displaced
persons to the US.
When President Truman called
the extra session Of the SOth Con-
gress to take up unfinished bust
ness, Dewey did join the President
in recommending liberalization Of
the reactionary solons' DIP admiss-
ion bill TO remove it's discrimina-
tory features. Revercomb, who had
charge of the bill in the Senate,
blocked the amendments which
Truman asked for, and which
Dewey presumably supported.
Then the usually close-mouthed
Dewey public relations team said
that Dewey wasn't going to speak
in West Virginia because Rever-
comb had knitted the DPS. That was
two months ago.
Now, however, labor-backed ex-
Senator Matthew Nicely looks like
a good bet to beat Revercomb next
Tuesday and the COP is wheeling
out its big guns in Revercomb's
behalf.
Dewey campaign manager Her
bert Brownell declared last week
that the Republican leadership 'fs
doing everything possible to bring
about Sen. Revercomb's reelection"
Brownell said that it just hadn't
been possible to route the Dewey
train thru West Virginia, but
pointed out that vice presidential
candidate Earl Warren stumped
the state. Warren got in some good
plugs for the man who refused to
let the Truman administration do
what candidate Dewey said he
wanted it to do on behalf of the
war victims.

total of 100000 tons of coal an

raising the great sums necessary
to make this 10-year expansion
program possible.
Joining with the American Gas
and Electric officials for the an
nual conference was Gwilym A.
Price, President of the Westing-
house Electric Corporation.
The tremendous expansion and
rapid reconversion of the electric
power and electrical manufacturing
industries in a great measure aided
American industry to avoid the
forecasted era of unemployment
and depression in the immediate
postwar years, Mr.. Price told the
conference. Regardless of the past
success, Mr.. Price said, "The future
stands as great challenge to the
industry. 1t will be met
with men, machines and money"

Sigier Switches To Support Of
Workers Educational Service

Detroit (LPA)-Gov. Kim Sigler
has done an about-face and urged
the board of regents of the Univer-
sity of Michigan to reinstate the
Workers Educational Service pro-
gram, under which more than 75,-
600 industrial workers in the state
went to evening classes and took
part in other educational activities.
The regents meet this week, and
are expected to take action on the
Sigler proposal. The original post
ponement of IVES activities came
after General Motors Corp. had
made charges before a Congress-
ional committee, and to Sigler,
that "subversive doctrine" was be-
ing taught. The GIN charges, based
on attendance by a GIN stooge at
two sessions of one course, were
quickly refuted both by AFL and
CIO unions and by several eXecu-
tives of the Michigan Bell Tele-
phone Co. who took the same
course.
A storm of protest, both in Mich

Unions Protest
u. S. Action On
Migrant Workers

Ell Paso, Texas {LPA) = The
Mexican government last week end
ed an agreement with the US on
importation of Mexican farm work
ers to this country, after Us Of
ficials left the border open for two
days, permitting thousands of Mex
leans to enter this country illegal
ly to harvest the fall crops.
The so-called "wet- backs, who
work for zoe to 37c an hour in the
fields Of southwest states, were al
lowed to cross the river at the same
time that Mexican unions and
Natl Farm Labor Union-AFL were
holding a conference to solve the
migration problem.
NFLU and AFL have long been
concerned with the problem of
these illegal immigrants who are
being used to break down living
standards of both American farm
workers and industrial workers.
The Mexican unions are concerned
with the poor treatment their ma
tionals receive on American farms.
Wetbacks who came over last
week have been taken in trucks to
cotton fields in New Mexico, Ark
ansas, and west Texas. Others have
been put on construction jobs in
FL Paso where they work for 4Oc
to 6Oc an hour, underwriting the
union scale of SOC to 90c. The Ell
Paso Building, Construction &
Trades Council-AFL protested the
fragrant action of border officials,
who directed the MeXicans straight
to the Texas Employment Service.

HU Wins Sfoy,
Wants Denhum's S
Wings Clipped

Chicago (LPA)-After a rejec-
tion from district Judge Luther NJ.
Swygert who issued the order, the
Intl Typographical Union-AFL this
week won stay of execution of
last weeks contempt decree from
a US circuit court.
ITU lawyers told the three-man
appellate court that immediate en-
forcement of Swygert's order find
ing the union in contempt of his
last springs injunction would do
the union "irreparable harm" The
higher court agreed to postpone
enforcement of Swygert's ruling
until both the union and the NLRB
have time to file briefs on the is
sues.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the
|ITU has asked the NLRB to with
draw" from its General Counsel
Robert n. Denham the power to go
to court for injunctions against
trade unions.
He has utilized his delegated
power to initiate injunction and
contempt proceedings in reckless
and unprincipled manner" the un-
ions brief charges. 1t challenges
Denham's motives too, citing Pre-
sident Truman's expose of the con-
ference in which Sen. Robert A.
Taft (R., Ohio) and five Chicago
publishers put the heat" on MEM
ers of Denham's staff to speed up
the case against the ITU.
The union also objected to rul-'
ing by an NLRB trial examiner in
the American Newspaper Publish
ers Assn's complaint against the
union. The NLRB official termed
the ITU 'the statutory bargaining
agent" for its members. This isn't
true, the union declared. If the eX-
aminer's position is upheld the
whole system of local union auto
momy is endangered, the lTU said.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-
Organized labor is solidly united
in support of 16 Democratic candi-
dates fof the U. S. Senate, in which
the Republicans now have only a

Stage Star Calls
Candidate Dewey
A Mechanical Man

New York (LPA) - President
Truman got his most appealing in
PRODUCTION Of the year-marred
only by the fact that it wasn't over
television--on a network radio pro-
gram sponsored last week by the
Int'l Ladies Garment Workers I'm
ion-AFL.
Tallulah Bankhead, stage star,
spoke from her dressing room at
the Plymouth Theater between the
acts Of Private Lives" She's for
Harry Truman, she said, "the
human being. By the same token
I'm against Thomas E. Dewey, the
mechanical man."
Truman went on to add that true
liberalism cannot hide behind catch
phrases like Dewey's favorites-
unity" and efficiency"
Here is the Presidents descrip-
ton Of how the New Deal can go
forward with Democratic admin
istration:
eve should repeal the Taft-Hart-
ley act.
"We should increase the min
imum wage from 40c an hour to at
least 75c an hour.
Social Security insurance should
be extended to the large groups of
people not now protected.
'The insurance benefits should be
increased by approximately 500.
1--WE should expand our facilities
for looking after the nations
health.
"The federal government should
provide aid to the states in meet
ing the educational needs Of our
children.
"The Congress should provide
aid for slum clearance and low
rent housing.
"We should do something at
once, about high prices"

to European recovery and what
that help means in terms of econ
'omic recovery.
The Norwegian union leader said
that labor spokesmen for the other
western European nations had as

that even now the results of ECA

of the fallacy of Communist argu-
ments.
