Unionists Help
Lick Dixiecrats

Fort Worth, Texas (LPA)-More
than 100 members of Intl Oil
Workers Union were among the
delegates to the Texas state Demo
cratic convention which purged the
party of Dixiecrats in the Lone
Star state.
About so delegates from other
unions and several AFL members
participated in the meetings which
prevented Dixiecrats from stealing
the Democratic column on the gen
eral election ballot. If States Right
ers had had their way, no one In
Texas could have voted for Tru-
man and Barkley.
. OWITU's paper, international
Oil Worker, pointed out that while
Dixiecrats appeal to southern race
prejudice, they are really "a group
of ltra-conservatives who want to
see a Republican administration in
Washington but who are afraid to
campaign on that basis in the
South"
The unionists at the Texas con-
vention did not seek significant
party posts. They earned their dele
gates seats by virtue of political
action on the precinct and county
level earlier in the year.

Transamerica Corp, founded and
master minded by A. P. Giannini

Eric Johnson Urges u. S.
Use Labor Ambassadors

Washington. - Appointment of
outstanding labor representatives
as United States ambassadors to
foreign nations with labor govern
ments is strongly advocated by Eric
Johnston, president of the Motion
Picture Association of America.
In a new book, soon to be pub
lished, called "We're All In It," Mr..
Johnston declares that Americas
role in world leadership would be
greatly strengthened if we adjust
our foreign policy to the new shape
of the world and adjust our diplo-
matte personnel "to make it click" !"
The former head of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, who
inaugurated a liberal labor policy
in that organization which has
since faded, says in his book:
Labor leaders can bring special
to an assignment like
that. They are used to dealing with
people. When they tell the facts
about Americas democratic capt.
alism to other peoples they are
more likely to be believed in the
circles where it counts.
"There is no mystery to the
friendly reception American labor
leaders get wherever they go. They
may not speak the tongue of work
ers everywhere, but they speak a
common language. Shop talk is an
easy route to understanding among
men in any field"
Hailing the good work done
abroad for America by the late
Frank Fenton, international repre-
sentative of the AFL, Mr.. Johnston
says in his book:
"At time when there are so
many misconceptions about Amer
can capitalism in Europe, we could
Use lot of Frank Fentons.
Representatives of labor should
De folded into our job of world
leadership on the same basis as all
,ther Americans.
american labor has men we
leed, and just at the hour when we
leed them most, they're here and
'eady for the job"

kroII Predicts
Truman Victory

Washington (LPA)-Jack Kroll,
PAC director, declared last week:
"The PAC faces the November
election with confidence. Heavy
registration in every section of the
country promises a record turnout
in November. Such a turnout is
sure to mean success for the policy
and program of PAC-the election
of President Truman and Sen.
Barkley, and the more than 100
candidates in the House and Senate
endorsed by PAC."
Registration in such states as
California, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Washington is
already over the 1914 figure, Kroll
pointed out. "The people are angry;
the people are going to VOTE" he
said. They are tired of the reaction
ary Congress and will "rebuke
Taft, Hartley, Taber, Dewey and
all their factions"
Kroll said it is not "fanciful" to
anticipate a 60,000,000 vote this
year. This would mean only 62%
of the citizenry was voting, while
before World War / national cleo
tions brought out 60 to 1910 of the
eligible voters.
The PAC director dismissed
Henry Wallace's Progressive Party
as "no longer a factor to be taken
seriously. The sound liberal peo-
ple," he said, "who at one time
might have given voting strength
to that movement are no longer
behind it."
He remarked that in primaries in
California, Wisconsin, an Mime
sofa the Progressive showing has
been poor, and "our reports from
New York show that the Wallace
candidates are losing ground con-
tinuously."

Labor Draft Part
Of War Planning

Bayonne, N. ]. (LPA-)A labor
draft and a wage freeze are key
notes of the Defense Dept man
power plans in case of another war,
it was revealed last week.
Tipoff came from Commander f.
G. Campbell of the Armed Forces
Industrial College in a speech to
a group of students at the Navy
Supply Corps School.
All workers would be frozen in
their jobs, Campbell said, until it
is determined whether or not some
workers can be better used else
where. Wage inducements must not
be used to direct workers from one
industry into another.
Instead both private employers
and the government would have to
draw needed labor for local en-
ployment offices.
Campbell deplored the fact that
no plan for total manpower mobil-
ization was ready when America
went into World War H." He did
not dwell upon the production re-
cord set by free labor during the
"We got thru the war without
some form of work-or-fght legis-
lation as a result of sheer good
luck," the naval officer remarked.

Exiled Unionists
Organize To Lift
The Iron Curtain

Paris LPA) - Veteran demo
Nratic trade unionists from behind
the Iron Curtain organized the Free
Trade Union Center in Exile this
week to combat Communist pro-
paganda among emigrant workers
from their nations, and to continue
the fight for democracy within the
Soviet sphere itself.
They met in the headquarters of
the CGT-FO, anti-C m m u n
French labor federation. Irving
Brown, AFL European representa-
tive, assured the democrats from
Eastern Europe that they will have
the support of the AFL and other
free trade unions for their activi-
ties.
First task of the new organiza-
ton will be to combat pro-Com-
munist propaganda being circulat-
ed among workers from Eastern
European nations now living in
countries outside the Soviet sphere.
One member of the group said that
they intend to catalogue the losses
in living standards and trade union
rights which workers in the Russ
ian satellites have suffered since
the consolidation of Communist
rule in those nations. Attempts will
be made to organize the emigrants
into non-Communist unions in their
adopted countries.
Another important job the exil-
ed union leaders have set for them
! selves is getting the truth about
fconditions in the democracies, and
about the progress of the Marshall
plan, into Eastern Europe thru un-
derground channels and such broad
casts as "The Voice of America"
Representatives of workers in
Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Rom
ania, Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania,
eastern Germany, and even Soviet
Ukraine participated in the confer
ence. Among them were Karl Pey-
er Of Hungary and Zivko Topalo-
vich of Yugoslavia, outstanding
leaders of the Socialist unions
of their nations before the total
itarian era.
One resolution passed by the re-
fuges condemned the World Feder-
alton of Trade Unions to which the
now Communist dominated unions
of their home countries are affiliat-
ed.

Committee Offers Prizes
For Getting Out The Vote

Washington (LPA) - Priz e S
totalling $2100 were offered last
week for the local labor political
leagues which produce the best per-
centage vote improvement for la
bor-backed President Harry Tru-
man over President Roosevelt's
1914 poll.
The first prize of $1,000 will go
to the local labor political commit
tee, in any political subdivision of
$4,000 or more population, in which
the proportion of votes recorded
for the Democratic nominee shows
the greatest percentage improve
ment over the number of votes cast
for FDR the last time he ran.
Second best job will win $500,
and five prizes of $100 each will
go to the next best improvements
in the vote for the presidential
candidate which most unions have
endorsed. Another 500 has been
ear-marked for the precinct COM
mittee within the first prize dis
trict which contributes most to the
district record
Donor of the awards is Labor's
Committee for Truman & Barkley.
It's secretary, Eli Oliver, said last
week that he expects state and city
AFL political action committees
will announce supplementary
prizes, and prizes for vote-getting
leagues which do the best jobs in
senatorial and congressional races.
All committees recognized by
AFL city centrals, or state fedora
tions for the rural districts, are ell
gible to participate. Entrance
blanks must be mailed to the COM
mittee's Washington Offices not
later than Nov. l.
Joint AFL-CIO committees may
enter in those cases where they are
by the local AFL as the
political leagues for the
area.

TYPOS WAITING
COURT RULING

indianapolis (LPA) - National
headquarters of the Int'l Typo
graphical Union-AFL, and typos
locals thruout the country are
awaiting this week Judge Luther
j. Swygert's decision on the second
round of their court fight against
the Taft Hartley law.
Most dramatic blow landed by
the union as the federal court hear
ings concluded last week was its
charge that the NLRB's pressing of
contempt charges under Swygert's
months-old injunction was a direct
outcome of the cheat" put on the
board by Sen. Robert A. Taft (R,,
Ohio) and his "constituents"-the
Chicago newspaper publishers.
Swygert joined ITU lawyers in
asking NLRB attorney Winthrop
A. Johns why he waited five months
to ask for enforcement of the in
junction if the distribution of new
contract forms by the ITU in April
itself violated the law. Johns was
one of the two NLRB lawyers
whom Taft and the newspaper
owners worked over in late July.
The judge did not hide his amaze
ment at the willingness of NLRB
General Counsel Robert N. Den
ham to permit the ITU and print 1,
ing trades employers to conduct |
negotiations on the basis of a pro-
posed contract which he thought
illegal, and then months later to
it in the courts.
Swygert also asked Johns why,
f the NLRB considered the con-
,racts illegal under the Taft Hart
ey law and in violation of his own
it did not at least so in
'orm Gerhard Van Arkel, the TITUS
attorney.
81 am in a very unfortunate posi- 1
ion with the court pressing me-"
Johns replied. "The matter has
,een very carefully skirted. | don't
ike to get into it now," he added,
o the confusion of all concerned.

Mediation Board
Fails In Dispute

Chicago (ILNS).-The National
Mediation Board has failed in it's
efforts to settle the wage and hour
dispute between the railroads and
16 unions Of incorporating work
ers. In a final move, the board pro-
posed arbitration, which the unions
rejected.
As provided by the Railway La
Dor Act, the dispute, involving L.
O00,000 employees, now goes to an
fact-fnding board to be
by the President.
Naming Of fact-finding board
the possibility of any
legal strike action for or mon
tbs. The board is likely to take
month to hear the case and another
TO study the evidence and make
recommendation. If this is unsatis-
factory to the unions, they must
wait go days before engaging in a
legal walkout.
The dispute involves union de-
mands for Is cents an hour pay
a reduction Of the present
work week Of 48 hours to 40 with
out reduction in pay, and over
time concessions. Failure to obtain
these demands during direct nego-
tiations with the carriers early in
led the unions to circu-
late strike ballot, now being
taken.
Withdrawal Of the mediation
board from the case brought the
railroad labor's third round wage
to temporary stand
still. Two operating unions have
settled for 10 cent an hour raise;
other operating unions have re-
;essed talks for further study.

Dewey might depart from his an

arguments against President Tru-
man had another letdown when he
unveiled his "housing program" in
a speech delivered at ground break
ing ceremonies Of the Alfred f.
Smith low-rent housing project on
New York's East Side.
Here's his substitute for the
Taft EIlender- Wagner housing bill,
in the usual campaign nutshell:
ave need to cut thru impenetrable
underbrush of theory and disagree
ment and dispute, and draw up a
workmanlike program"
He did not refer directly to the
controversial part of the TEW bill
provision for federal financing for
100000 units of public low-rent
housing-but did indicate that
some federal aid to the states
might be needed, "on a realistic
practical basis"
Despite his usual vagueness,
Dewey had some sharp words for
the nations free-enterprisers in the
homebuilding industry. "This year
the builders of America are build
ing as never before, and the total
may reach as many as 100000
new homes.
"That is good. But it is not near
ly good enough. AS many as 1:5OO,-
900 of our veterans and their fam
lilies have had to double up with
other families to live in rooming
houses. Another 100000 of our
families have had to do the same"
