Operation White House

The 156-year-old White House is
getting ready for major operation
which will cost US about million
dollars. The historic old mansion
which is about to fall down has been
declared unsafe for occupancy, and
the President and his family have
moved cater-cornered across the
street to the old Blair and Blair-Lee
mansions which are owned by the
government and used for visiting
dignitaries.
The two old mansions, now tenn
porary White Houses, set flush on
the street with only iron steps and
ratings between door and sidewalk,
have really historic pasts going back
to the early 1905. Sentry boxes
wherein are stationed secret service
police have been set up on the walks
before each house SO visitors can be
queried and screened.
In the old White House the
President will carry on his bust
ness in the executive Offices
which were built at each end of
the main building by President
Roosevelt. The walls will be
strengthened, new floors and
cross beams installed and the
old house will be made COM
pletely modern. 1t will take
year or more to do the job.
When Margaret Truman came
home after the election she noticed
the grand piano in her room was
atilt. One leg had gone through the
floor. The floors sag abou six inches
in some rooms. Successive attempts
at moderniZation through installa-
tion of plumbing, of electricity, etc.,
have weakened the floor joists The
grand stairway shakes and weaves;
the heavy candelabra in the east
room and the state dining room
sway and tinkle. And the whole
thing is a fire-trap.
Big business may not like it but
peace-time excess profits tax will be
enacted by this next congress. Time
for exorbitant uncontrolled profits
has passed and the nation is enter
ing new era. Last year profits
after taxes totalled 20 billion dollars.
Only one-sixth went back into plant
improvement and expansion. The
new excess profits tax will not touch
little business and one way the giant
corporations which control produc-
ton, distribution and price of the
nations basic commodities can
avoid it is to bring prices down
where they won't have to pay the
tax. And that will help debate the
infationary spiral.

Farm Legislation Due
IN WASHINGTON


ONCE the farmers of the ma
- ton played the leading role
in returning President Harry S.
Truman to the White House,
even more so than labor, it is
practical to assume that on the
early agenda of the Democratic
8lst congress will be some sorely
needed farm legislation.
Among the first will be the repeal
or amendment of the Commodity
Credit Corporation act to give that
agency the power to provide storage
space for grain so that the support
price program may function. 1t will
be remembered that this column
pointed out this work of the grain
lobby in the Both congress, which be-
latedly in the closing hours of the
session pushed through this piece of
legislation as a rider on the CCC act,
and that the fact would play an i'm
portant role in the farm vote.
Another early act likely will be
Qualification of the law which grants
statutory exemption to farm trucks
ana TRUCKS engaged exclusively IN
the transportation of agricultural
commodities.
This section of the motor car
rier act, now a part of the Inter-
state Commerce act, has been
interpreted by the ICC to permit
taxation of trucks carrying
washed spinach or other pack
aged fresh vegetables, classify
ing them as manufactured
commodities"
Early ratification of the interna-
tional wheat agreement act, new
long-range farm price support pro-
gram, plus acreage controls, addi-
tional funds for conservation, recla-
nation and irrigation, for school
lunch programs and for rural cleo
trification are almost certain of en-
actment.

Potentially Powerful

For many years the propaganda
program of the National Association
of Manufacturers and big business
has been to split the farm and labor
organizations, carrying out the old
technique of divide and conquer. +
these two organizations, which rep
resent the vast majority of the
American people, would only join
hands on agreed legislation for each
segment-farm and labor-instead
of fighting one another, they could
control this or any other congress.

particularly interest union and company representatives at
the shop level We plan to have very practical informal
discussion the many problems that up in every
shop and SEEK only from the speakers but from
the people who in the audience good practical points
of view what do to make relations better in
the everyday life of the shop Our emphasis strictly
the practical approach to settlement of the
problems which beset everyone of us every day.
These people from labor, and management and the
public contribute their time to work the panels. The
of the LMC is around $1,000 per year. much less than
lost in wages and profits in just small work stoppage
I think this points up thing very conclusively
That that the settlement of the problems of labor and
management best be made right down the grass
roots level, at home in community and par
tcularly wherever possible right down in the individual
shop where the trouble think it proves the value
of voluntary methods of settling disputes rather than any
complusion upon employers and employe.
That is why LMC is purely voluntary function A
city ordinance authorized its creation but does not give
LMC pennys worth of authority to force either side
to do anything We only utilize good offices
impartial mediation agency help bring about dispute
settlements and to continue development of the beerng
of relations between labor and management which in
short few years has made Toledo example to the rest of
the nation in cooperative solution of industrial dispute
problems This example is which the worker the
ager and the consuming public well be proud of be-
it's something that all had equal share in deve
oping.
