SHELTER WORKER UNION LEADER ARRESTED
FOR Deportation BY Federal OFFICERS

served notice on the Precision Casting
Go. Inc. that we intend 10 strike all
four Of their plants unless they agree
to continue 10 recognize and bargain
with orr union on the matter OF wages
and q new contract.
Raliat was arrested February 8 on
q warrant charging him with being
an alien member OF an organization
that advocates overthrow by force Of
tho United states government. The
organization was not named The
labor leader branded the charges as
ridiculous and false.
At liberty on sl.o00, Balint will be
given an expulsion hearing in Cleve-
land at a time 10 be designated. His
arrest repeatedly eliminated an Swear
Investigation by several federal agen
cies which have been attempting 10 as
soeiate him with ~commuristic activity.
In 1871 when he was active in
strikes against the Aluminium Co. or
Americas plant here. Baiint was call
"a before the Dies committee and den
ed that he was a communist. Federal
agencies have been seeking evidence
10 support a charge that Balint's ac-
tiors follow a pattern or communist
behavior. rather than attempting to
prove actual membership in the Com
munist party.
Born in Hungary in 1912. Balint
came here at the age OF eight and APP
piled u~nsuccessfully in 1910 for citi-
zenship. His brother. David. a former
United Steelw orkers tCIO) official.
was arrested on a similar deportation
warrant more than a year aeo His
case is still pending.

lc situation tnat mas preValled'
in the business community
since the stock market fell on
its face in the fall Of 1916. 1t
is significant that despite rec
ord breaking profits and greatly in
creased corporate dividends, the stock
market has been in the dOldrums for
the past 1G months, waiting for a de-
preston around the next corner.
Marshall Plan Announcement
Aided InfIationary Spiral
Although the anticipated depression
has not yet materialized-the abOrtive
depression which began last spring
was quickly reversed by the initiation
airy spiral that followed announcement
of the Marshall Plan-big business
and industry have been wondering
when ~skyrocketing prices might ex-
plodc and set off a wave Of price cuts.
The National City Bank of New
York put the point this way in its re-
cent monthly letter on economic con-
ditions. published Just prior to the
lcrackup in commodity prices: 1T
seems to be true that uneasiness
over the outlook Is increasing. The
country is riding the boom not con-
fidently and comfortably, but rather
with a sense that the position becomes
%precarious as time goes on"
This feeling Of uncertainty was ac-
centuated during the past couple OF
months. More and more families were
priced out of the market for every
thing but essentials and many families
could not afford to buy all the essen
tails they need for decent and health
full living.
Interest rates were frightened, thus
putting the squeeze on small business
