UTAH REAL-ESTATE LOBBY

Utahs Republican Congressman William Dawson resisted most of the big Hobbies during his fresh man term, but fell victim to the king of them all-the powerful real estate lobby.
 Working quietly backstage With the real-estate lobby, Dawson tried to abolish rent controls-even though his native Salt Lake is still hard up for rental space. Dawson has kept his association with the real-estate lobby under wraps, but on March 25, he wrote subservient letter to Richard Harding, boss of the Salt Lake Real Estate Board, who also makes ire quent trips to Washington as a ! lobbyist
 T just returned rom the floor of the House after they adopted the Conference report on the Rent Bill" wrote Dawson. T am sorry we were not able to get better bill, but we have made some head way in restoring local option. If you will notice under the Bill. To- cal boards can abolish rent con- trol if they so decide subject to review by the Housing Expeditor.

Governors Strike Suggestions
(Ketchikan News)

(ketchlkan NeWS)
 There are some good suggestions in the open letter signed by Governor Gruenng Delegate Bartlett and Commissioner of Labor Henry A. Benson. They asS for separate agreement with the unions in Seattle to divorce Alaska from the coast maritime strike.
 But to do might be temporary arrangement at the best The main purpose of the strategy of the employers to prevent recurrent strikes which upset Pacific Coast and Alaska shipping
 The letter from the Governor and ct al asks why Alaska should be penazed for the remainder of the Pacific Coast The need of defense work is also emphasized The is why should Seattle be favored with all other Pacific Coast ports cut out for supplying Alaska?
 The Governors communication makes point that John L. Lewis, known non-C Communist refused sign the Communist affidavit contained in the Taft Hartley law.
 There's nc comparison between Lewis and Harry Bridges.
 Lewis whatever may be his faults, has always been a staunch American He purged leader of the CIO by Red infiltration. Bridges the other hand, has been a vertable weather for the Kremlin. He sided with Hitler when Russia an ally of Ger many, then he changed again when the Kremlin changed Without questioning his known ability can he be depended upon to espouse the American way of life against that of the Kremlin? Naturally the employers feel that they cannot continue to do business longer with irresponsible ead CTS whose very patriotism is questioned. The minute such leaders sign contract they will be looking for other technical excuses for unrest and turmoil. Some say the main purpose of the employers is to try and destroy the lonshoremens union. That's hardly plausible In fact employers know better than anyone else the advantage of responsible parties to deal with for collective bargaining and that well regulated union is the best means of making and keeping contracts. The longshoremen's union is too strongly entrenched to be wiped out even though there may be some such intent on the part of some employer.
 Therefore, in the final analysis temporary arrangement with Seattle for the benefit of Alaska should be considered unless 1t fits into the plans for an overall settlement It is better to suffer while longer have recurrent strikes every few months
 How does the person who thinks the world couldn't get along without him account for the fact that it did so for centuries before he born?

The Labor View
BY G. F. McCray for AMP

Though the CLIO is still looking
for a Democrat with a chance to
win in November this third larg-
est labor federation in the world
regards Wallace as the man to
beat. This they must do not in
November but before November.
Hence the CIO is throwing every
thing at Wallace except the kitch-
en- sink.
The CLIO avoids argument over
the merits and dement's of Wal
lace by taking the position that a
third party in 1913 e disas-
ter to labor. CLIO strategy is to as
sure CIO members with pro-Wal-
lace leanings that a third party
will be started Immediately after
the presidential elections but not
before. Walter Reuther o fthe CLIO
Auto Workers has been pushing
this idea. The CLIO News COM
ments:
Following the example Of CLIO
industrial union councils, nearly
Is per cent of the CLOS interna-
tional unions and organizing COM
mittees have indorsed CLOS policy
against a third party in 1913.
"The returns also make pathet-
ic the claims of Sen. Glen H. Tay-
lor 3D., Ida.), Henry A.. Wallace's
third party running mate. Taylor
in a speech at Salt Lake City,
made this comment on the CLOS
stand against his new party: La
Dor never has been so misled. |
predict that a good many new la
Dor leaders will take control in
the next few years..
"(CIO Councils Dir. John Bro
ply, commenting on Taylor's
statement, quipped: 4 predict
there'll be many new senators TAX
ing control in the next few
years.')
"More than 80 per cent of
CLOS industrial union councils
have approved CLIO national pol
icy on the third party and ERP.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-06-15

The Gallup poll predicts that
Wallace and his third party will
receive between three and four
million votes. A good deal of this
support will come from Negroes
and white voters who normally
support CLIO politics. This is the
way the picture looks at present.
Thiugh Wallace has been slip
ping during the past two months,
it is still not clear how success
full the CLIO and the Democrats
will be in their efforts to stop
him from taking a fatal bite out
of Truman's strength.
Some Some o fthe Negro Re-
publicans in the AFL are report
ing that Truman's goose is cooked
even if Wallace withdraws from
the race tomorrow and fights for
Truman with everything he has
left. The south, Mr.. Wallace, and
the tough job of being President
of these United States have placed
Mr.. Truman up against some very
heavy odds.
But an election is like a horse
race. The favorites don't always
win. In 1916 forld-wide opinion
held that Winston Churchill would
be reelected prime minister of
England. Instead the Labor party
swept the country even to the sur
prise of the Laborites themselves.
Somebody was always predicting
Roosevelt would be beaten. Even
the Ballup poll went astray in
1914. The boys just did not be-
lieve their own figures.
Only last week the smart politi-
cal analysts predicted that Gen.
Jan C. SHUTS would be returned
as the premier of the Union of
South Africa. Instead he was beat
en- completely-did not even win
a seat for himself. And this trag-
edy occurred when Negroes all
over the world we're for the first
time in his comic opera career
were hoping he would win.

ANSWER: Because gags, hand
