CIO members live and work in the
area in which the council operates
but according to the men bringing
the charges only small fraction
still retain membership in the coun-
Gil.
Three current sources Of conflict
are listed in the charges. One is
the opposition to and interference
with state CIO-PAC activities by
the city council, whose officers are
active supporters of Henry Wall
ace, and in several districts are
supporting Wallace-ticket candi-
dates in opposition to the PAC-
endorsed nominees. The charges
specifically cite the action of Sec
retary-treasurer Saul Mills who has
"openly and notoriously attacked
NY State CIO-PAC for proceeding
in keeping with established policy
of the national CIO."
The city council is also charged
with interfering with the activit-
les of the Transport Workers I'm
ion and the Utility Workers Union
in their wage negotiations, and
with taking sides in the internal
controversy involving department.
store workers locals of the Retail,
Wholesale & Dept Store Union.
Murray pointed out that, while
there are other controversies in
volving city councils which do not
follow national policy, they "are
not of nature calculated to war
rant immediate Intervention by the
CIO." In this category he listed the
recent battles between pro-Com-
and anti-Communist elem
ents in the Los Angeles and Detroit
city councils.

Continue Efforts
For Cooperation
After Elections

Atlantic City (LPA)-A confer
ence of leaders of all branches of
the American trade union move
ment should be called after the
November elections to insure con-
tinued cooperation between AFL,
CIO and unaffiliated unions, Pre-
sident Jacob Potofsky of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers of AM
erica, said last week.
Potofsky was speaking to the
Goth annual conference of the I'm
tied Hebrew Trades, of which AFL,
CIO and unaffiliated unions whose
membership includes significant
numbers of Jewish workers are
members. The ACWA head is a
member of the executive committee
of both the CIO and CIO-PAC.
Primary purpose of a post-Nov-
ember conference should be to
chart American labor's future poll
tical course, Potofsky declared. He
said that the alternatives of ere
vitalizing" the Democratic party or
establishing an independent labor
party should be discussed. Mean
while, he urged Henry Wallace,
"the unwilling tool of reaction in
1913" to withdraw from the presi-
Dental race and withdraw the can
didacies of his supporters who en-
danger the election of liberal Con-
gressmen.

Commenting on the fact that a
majority of the Democrats in Con

law, the California Governor as
serted that either the Truman ad-
ministration "did not make an all
out effort to prevent the passage
of the bill, or a majority of the
Democratic members of Congress
are entirely out of sympathy with
the President on the subject and
will not follow him."

nj SENATE CANDIDATES
WARY OF TAFT-HARTLEY

Atlantic City (LPA)-The Taft
Hartley law has become one of the
key political issues in New Jersey.
The Democratic candidate for Sen
ate last week denied reports that
he was hedging on his partys
pledge to repeal the anti-union sta
tute and his Republican rival said
that he favored revision of the law.
Archibald S. Alexander, the
Democratic senatorial hopeful, who
has been endorsed by a number of
Jersey labor groups, told the con-
vention of the state Building &
Construction Trades Council-AFL.
81 am in favor of outright repeal
Of the Taft Hartley act with i'm
mediate substitution of a law
which would preserve the rights of
labor with fairness to manage
ment."
Earlier in the week, at Demo-
fcratic headquarters in the Hotel
Biltmore, New York, Alexander
had said that he favored revision
rather than repeal of the Taft
Hartley law.
Republican candidate Robert c..
Hendrickson at least admitted that
his party's labor bill isn't perfect.
He told the building trades meeting
that the law should be amended to
give the Labor Secretary rather
than the President power to invoke
its national emergency" anti
strike provisions.
Other changes suggested by the
Republican nominee were: allow
non-Communist local unions to
qualify for NLRB facilities even if
the unions international officers
haven't complied with the non-Com-
munist affidavit feature of the
1947 law; permit the preferential
hiring of union members, and re-
cognize the value of the union hir-
ing hall in construction and water
front industries; and Qualification of
Taft-Hartley's provisions on the
secondary boycott and strike coer-
cion.
Hendrickson insisted, however,
that a years experience with the
law justified it's broad purposes"
A few days later, at the opening
of the convention of the N. j. Fed
Grafton of Labor, its President
Louis P. Marciante attacked the
labor record of Republican Cover
nor Alfred f. Driscoll and said that
the claims that he is a liberal are
"bunk."
Driscoll is responsible for the
passed last year which forbids en-
ployes of utility companies to
strike. 1t was adopted while tele-
phone workers were on strike. The
COP state legislature, Marciante
declared, "has a definite anti-labor !
fixation." !

Va. UniOnists Carry Ball
For The Truman Ticket

Richmond (LPA)-Thc Virginia
Industrial Union Council, meeting
here, has voted to put on vigor-
Gus campaign for the Truman
Barkley ticket.
The state CLOS decision takes on
special significance since the Byrd
machine, which dominates Demo-
cratic politics, is sitting on its
hands as far as the presidential
race is concerned, and experienced
political observers expect the state
may swing into the Dewey column.
More than 10000 CIO members
in the state will be calledson to
take an active part in bringing the
Truman Barkley slate, which APP
pears in the regular Democratic
column in the state, to the atten-
tion of the voters.

the SOth Congress. He serves IN
the United States Senate as the
outstanding spokesman for big bus
mess. AS such, he has championed
the cause of all sorts of reaction
airy legislation and has fought bit
terly against every effort to enact
social justice legislation to meet
human needs.
"For a while, it appeared that
there was one remarkable excep-
tion to Senator Taft's thoroughly
bad record. Two years ago, he
agreed to serve as co-sponsor for
an important bill, originally intro
duced by Senator Wagner of New
York, providing for a vitally need
ed, long-range housing program.
The bill then became known as the
Wagner Ellender-Taft bill. 1t of
fered the only effective means of
coping with the nations acute hous-
ing shortage and providing decent
homes for workers and veterans in
the low-income bracket. Senator
Taft's co-sponsorship of this bill,
in view of his influential position in
Congress, offered real hope for it's
successful passage.
"But when the test came, when
the bill came up for consideration
during the recent special session of
Congress, when fortnight and
courageous leadership was called
for to bring this constructive legis-
lation to final enactment, Senator
Taft fell down on the job. He sue
cumbed to the pressure of the re-
dictionary group fighting for selfish
real estate interests. He deserted
his own baby and let it die.
Congress, which follows the
bidding of Senator Taft, failed the
nation when it adopted the Housing
Act. of 1913 and scuttled the Wag-
Ellender-Taft bill.
"Are we then going to return to
power in the November elections,
the Congressman and Senators
who voted against the interests of
the people so brutally and so con-
sistently during the past two
years?
"Are the millions of workers in
this country going to give their
votes and their endorsement to the
lawmakers who imposed the OPP
pressive and destructive Taft Hart
ley Act upon them?
"ls labor going to sit still and
let itself be pushed back into the
dark ages of the open shop, COM
pany spies and terrorism, without
protest?
Are we going to permit all the
gains we have achieved through
long years of struggle for the
workers of our country to be wiped
out by default?
"We must not and we dare not
let that happen.
Remember this-the workers of
his country possess the political
power TO defeat the S0th Congress
at the polls and to reverse its re-
dictionary, antilabor policies.
Remember this-the 80th Con- |
sress was elected by only one-third |
If the qualified voters of this coun-
.ry in 1916. The rest just didn't
bother to register or vote.
"If you do remember these vital
acts, ] am confident that you and
he members of your families and
Ill your friends will make certain
o register and vote this year.
"To protect your own interests
md the interests of a decent, 4
wholesome America, you must not +
leglect to vote on November 2.
when the votes of the millions

ounted, they will add up to re-
ounding victory for progress"

West Coast Dock
Strike Still On

San Francisco (LPA) - There
was plenty of variety but not much
progress in the west coast shipping
strike last week.
1-Int'l Longshoremen's & Ware
housemen's Union accepted an offer
of Mayor Elmer E. Robinson of
San Francisco to mediate the dis
pute.
2-ILWU staged a demonstra-
tion against the army for its use of
civil service longshoremen (not
hired thru the union) in the load
ing of military supplies.
3-Rep. Fred A. Hartley of TIL
fame said he thought there should
be a special session of Congress to
deal with the strike as well as the
strike Of west coast oil workers.
4-The Progressive Party issued
100000 leaflets attacking the ship
owners-preparatory to Wallace's
campaign tour of the west coast.
5-The Pacific American Ship
owners ASSN offered to make a
separate peace with the Marine
Firemen, Oilers & Wipers-unaffil-
ated, whose president, Vincent j,
Malone, has signed a non Com
munist affidavit.
Malone replied by asking PASA
to sign with all the unions involved,
and give up its demand that they
all sign the affidavits. PASA's pre-
sident retorted by accusing Malone
of two contradictory things: first,
being in collusion with the other
unions and making the request for
them; second, indulging in union
busting by signing the affdavits
when the others hadn't.

Dunbar Band
Concert a Success

The Dunbar high school band
gave it's third annual concert last
evening in the auditorium of the
Dunbar high school. William J.
Edwards conducted the band and
introduced the soloists.
The band which showed great
versatility played selections from
Greig, Bach and an unnamed
French composer. A spiritual and
a Spanish melody with two band
numbers rounded out the pro-
gram. The highlight of the eve
ming was the awards made by
members of the band to MI. Ed
wards and to the soloists of the
evening.
Soloists were Miss Marion
Prugh, basoonist, and Miss Carol
Thorp, trombonist. They displayed
talent, particularly Miss Prug,
who was performing with a very
difficult instrument. An example
of their virtuosity was shown
when each soloist accompanied
the other on the piano. The final
number of the evening, an en-
core, was led by William Wright,
student conductor.
V. Richardson, assistant princi-
pal of Dunbar, spoke briefly,
commencing the band and Mr..
Edwards for the splendid work
they had accomplished in such a
short time to make the concert
a success.

Henderson copied both hurdles

The city meet late this month
had a preview of what is going
to happen. Fairview was the team
that gave Dunbar a surprise beat
ing last year, and was expected
to put up a better showing than
it did this year. They will be es-
