WASHINGTON (EP)-Token
picketing will be just about the
only legal form Of strike demon
stration by organized labor
under the Hartley law if a
recommendation by NLRB Trial
Examiner Irving Rogosin an
nounced Oct. ID is not over
thrown by the five-man NLRB
or by the federal courts.
Rogosin's ruling came in the
case brought by the Cory Corp
of Chicago, makers of restaurant
equipment, against Local 1850,
United Electrical Radio & Ma
chine Workers (CIO). 1t arose
out of a strike which began last
fall, and which was highlighted
Nov. 81, 1947 when Chicago
police swooped down on the
picketline and arrested 1872
pickets. City authorities acted
on the excuse that the union had
not obtained a parade permit.
The trial examiner said flatly
that mass picketing, even when
peaceful, is illegal under the
new law. There is ample
authority" he said, ''fOr the pro-
position that force of numbers
alone, even where picketing is
conducted peacefully, has an in
timidatory and coercive effect
upon employees otherwise will
ing to cross a picketiine. Picket
ing of such character exceeds
the bounds of peaceful persua-
sion and is not privileged or
protected as free speech"
He also said: obviously, no
specific or categorical defini-
ton of mass picketing, in terms
of the exact numbers of parti-
cipants, applicable to every
situation, can be laid down. De
termination of what constitutes
mass picketing must necessarily
depend on the circumstances oil
each case" In other words
bicketing which effectively
keeps out scabs is mass picket
ing-and illegal.
The occasion which brought
The Illinois standard. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1948-1949, 1948-10-30

the mass turnout of cops was
advertised as union demOnstra-
ton against the Taft Hartley
act, with the UE local asking
other labor organizations in the
city to make one big show that
day on the line.
The local, though not in com
pliance with the Taft Hartley
affidavit and filing procedure,
may appeal the case to the
NLRBv The UE policy, however,
has been to ignore the NLRB
since the Hartley act was
passed. But whatever the out
come of the case, the rule on
mass demonstrations is the same
for filing and non-filing unions
alike.

Most outstanding exception to

However, the registration in

tween 1914 and 1948, according
to the U. S. Census Bureau,
there was an overall increase of
II percent in the number of
civilians of voting age. A large
part of the increase in potential
voters is accounted for by dis
charge of men from the armed
forces. Men in uniform found
it difficult if not impossible to

For years Mike had been the

the fans who have followed him

1--WE can see earnings ap-

In 1885 the Federal Com
munications Commission made a
study of AT & T and found that
it hid its profits by charging
fantaSticalIy inflated sums off to
depreciation, where they were
presumably safe from curious
commerce commissions. The
ICC could profitably look into
that practice.
1t may find that Illinois Bells
profits are in excess of the legal
limit of 4 per cent of its capital
ization and be able to order a
rate decrease.
Illinois Bell, for instance had
last year stashed away SIS mil
lion in a depreciation fund
which already amounted to $169
million-and depreciation re-
serves are counted as capitali-
zation, the base on which its
4 per cent return is figured.

Wallace farm price support pro-
gram enabled farmers to get
government loans on crops in
storage SO they could hold for a
better price later. The amount
of loan constituted the price
floor and the strength of the
floor is the hot controversial is
sue today, because it influences
the market price and cuts in on
the racket of the dealers and
spectators in farm commOdi-
tics.
Present farm law pro e S
farmers at 80 percent of parity
(parity is the relationship be-
tween things farmers buy and
what they sell that existed in
the period 1910-14). but con-
templates flexible" feature to
apply at the end of 1949 cutting
the protection down to so per-
cent of parity if the crops are
low in price-and the farmers
need price protection most.
This is real hardship on the
family-type farmers. Further, to
come under the law, farmers
will be asked to cut their pro-
duction, another hardship for
small farmers.
Dem or C congressional
leaders are now saying they are
going to insist on a full 80 per
cent of parity, but the Wall
Street Journal points out that
Truman and his secretary of
agriculture are committed to the
so-called flexible idea and will
face stiff fight if they do not
change their position.
Truman this u m m r COM
planned because the flexible fea-
lures of the law did not already
apply-meaning that if it did,
the government won d save
money. He was willing to give
farmers even less than the reac-
tionary Republicans in the S0th
Congress.
That lower farm prices must
come in order to lower living
costs is as ridiculous as saying
that lower wages must come to
lower farm operating costs.
What both farmers and labor
needs is wer corporation
profits and margins and stability
in the economy to get aw y
from the boom-bust cycle. They
need an end to the resource
draining cold war.
Farmers-especially the fam
ily-type-face a tough fight.

when Roosevelt was alive,
the COP told farmers, we can
give you the same as Roosevelt,
better and cheaper. But the rec
ord of the 80th Congress and the
drop in grain prices convinced
thousands of farmers that they
