K-F INTRODUCES 40
KAISER MODELS, NOW
IN FULL PRODUCTION
New Four-Door Sedans Repre-
sent First Major Changeover
of an American Auto De-
signed Since War.

WILLOW RUN, Mich.-The
first extensive model change
in an American automobile de-
signed since the war was an
nounced today by Kaiser-Fra-
zer Corp. with the introduce
ton of the 1949 Kaiser Special
and Deluxe sedans.
incorporating more than a
hundred Improvements in styl-
ing and mechanical features,
the four-door models are in full
production at the Willow Run
plant and have gone on display
in K-F dealer showrooms
throughout the country Sep
TENDER 20, 1913.
Edgar F. Kaiser, vice presi-
dent and general manager, said
that engineering and tooling
costs involved an expenditure
of over $10,0OO,OOO. He de-
scribed the 1949 models as re-
presenting "far more than the
auto industry's traditional
'facelifting.'
1.-THE new cars are the re-
suit of constant research in the
two years since K-F automo-
biles were first introduced"
Mr.. Kaiser said. 'Since August,
1916, more than 100000 own
ers have recorded over two
billion miles on our cars. We
have put this owner driving
experience to work in our en-
glneering departments to de-
velop a better product"
The K-F executive said that
the first 1949 model was No.
279,195 in the accumulative
grand total of cars turned out
by Kaiser-Fraser, fourth larg-
est passenger car producer.
The first of the '49's was
produced on August "a, imme-
diately following output of the
last 1913 model, he disclosed.

DENHAM ALL FOR
DOUBLE STANDARD

Washington (LPA) = General
Counsel Robert Denham, and the
fve-man NLRB are strong for the
double standard, a Deham-inspired
board decision proved last week.
The board upheld Denham's con-
tention that it, not the Utah state
labor board, must decide who is to
be recognized as bargaining agent
in an Ironton, Utah blast furnace.
Point is that two unions-one
whose officers have signed Taft
Hartley affidavits, and another
whose leaders have not-are bid
ding for the plant. The point is
important to the Taft Hartley
board, but not to the state labor
group, which would let both un-
ions appear on the ballot.
Denham contended however that
even if the business involved was
not interstate the NLRB would
have to take over, if the state law
was Inconsistent" with a federal
statute. Both the board and it's en-
forcement officer seem to have for
gotten their previous decision not
to hold union shop authorization
polls in states which, in defiance of
federal policy, bar union security.
1t all depends on whose OK is be-
ing gored, doesn't it?

Washington (LPA) - General
Vice President A. j. Hayes of the
Int'l Association of Machinists told

Committee on "National Employ
the Physically Handicapped Week"
that it's activities should continue
in 1919.
Neither we nor representatives
of other segments of society ac-
complished all we should have"
during the week last October in
which the intensive campaign to
open up jobs for physically handi-
capped workers was carried on,
Hayes asserted. r
"We have only made beginning
in the tremendous task of eliminat-
ing the apathy and Indifference in
the public mind which has been
the principal stumbling block in

affairs. In one speech, it is said,
he scratched out a vague and
cheerful paragraph which had been
written for him, and replaced it
with this: at is time the Ameri-
can people were told there is no
cheap and easy way to national
security. /. Security means sacri-
flee, and the people are going to
have to determine if that sacrifice
is worth their while" Bradley is
of the opinion that we must have
at least 18 divisions if we are to
properly discharge our occupation
duties, and to have in readiness a
fighting force of minimum adequ-
acy. This means, if his views are
accepted, that the limited draft
must be suspended, and that the
rate of induction into the Army
must be tremendously accelerated.
Congress will not like to do that.
But there is a strong probability
that it will find no other course
possible.
Actually, despite the atom bomb
and all the other new and improv-
ed weapons, the higher military
strategy-which is simply the prin-
ciples on which warfare is based
has not changed materially. If war
rbo,,lJ oo,Noo ~, tbo foroeooo hIo e.,
ture, most of the experts believe it
would have to be fought along past
lines. In other words, the Air Force
would be used to attack enemy
communications, industry, supply
lines, and so on. The Navy would
be given its traditional role of
keeping the sea lanes open, and it
would need it's own air power for
this. And the Army, initially,
would have to take and hold bases
necessary both for launching Of
fensive operations, and for protect
ing the continental US. from sus-
tanned attack. In latter stages the
Army, with huge ground forces,
would move in and take physical
possession of enemy territory pre-
cisely as it did in World Wars |
and ii.
There is still another phase of a
great arms program which cannot
be minimized. That is its effect on
the civilian economy. The forces,
as they grow, will need ever-in-
creasing quantities of materials
coal, steel, cloth, food, lumber, and
everything else. 1t is inevitable
that shortages and dislocations
will result from military priorities
One of the toughest and most i'm
portant jobs faced by military
planners lies in trying to figure
out just how much of our produc-
tion we can use for military pur-
poses without placing too serious
a strain on our domestic economy.

Labor Should
Support Truman
Health Program

Philadelphia (LPA) = Delegates
from so local unions and II other
organizations took part in the con-
ference of the Labor Education
Assn on union health and welfare
programs last week.
AFL, CIO, Railroad Brother
hoods and unaffiliated unions from
the Philadelphia area discussed
their experiences with health and
welfare plans and planned to push
health bills in the coming session
of Congress. Alice Hanson Cook
told the unionists that they should
be giving active support to the
Truman program which will prob
ably include health insurance and
greater social security benefits.
Research Director Isidor Falk of
the Social Security Administration
told the gathering that the admin
program would broaden
social insurance to cover the whole
and lift benefits by 500
to 1009o. Even if this program is

must continue with their health
and welfare plans.
Effective health plans are a big
factor in raising the morale of un-
ion members, Secretary-T Treasurer
Smith of the American
Federation of Hosiery Workers as
serted. "It is important" he added,
"that the union have a voice in
the insurance company

Minnesotans To
Be Kept Informed
On Legislators

Washington, d. c. (ILNS). -
Minnesota citizens are to be kept
informed on activities of their
state legislators next year, reports
the Duluth Labor World, approx
ing the plan. The Labor World says
editoralIy:
"In previous sessions Of the
Minnesota legislature, interested
citizens had to look to the daily
newspapers to keep informed as
to what their state senators and
representatives were doing. Some
times they got the information and
often they didn't.
indications point to something
different in the 1919 session with
liberal organizations in the state
liberal members of the
house and senate with active
groups such as the Minnesota Fed
Grafton Of Labor cooperating to
keep a running account of the re-
cords of the representatives. This
information will be sent back to
the home districts with full publi-
city guaranteed at least by those
towns with labor or liberal press.
That information service in de-
tail, according to plans now under
way, will be distinct public SER
vice and will give constituents an
opportunity to follow actions of
their legislative representatives.
Only in such an account can voters
know what goes on. Many import
ant issues will be facing the legis-
ature in January and it will pay
to keep informed. 1t
may we'll be that they will take a
greater interest in who they send
down to st. Paul"

20 Rail Unions
Map Program For
Congress Session

Washington (LPA) = Chiefs of
20 rail unions affiliated with the
Railway Labor Executives Asso-
citation, at meeting here, mapped
a legislative program to be pushed
at the next session of Congress.
They voted to cooperate with
other branches of the labor move
ment in fight to secure repeal of
the Taft Hartley act and re-en-
actment of the Wagner act. They
will do the same, they said, in a
movement to amend the wage-hour
act and establish a 81 an hour min
imum wage.
Also, they assigned "A committee
to study the question of revising
the Railway Labor Act so as to
legalize the "union shop" in the
railroad industry, at least for the
incorporating" crafts which have
been the strongest advocates of
such an arrangement,
The act has been Interpreted by
the courts as barring the "closed
shop" or other "union security
contracts.
Chiefs of the unions also declar
ed they will oppose any effort to
revive the so-called Jennings bill,
blocked at the last session of Con-
gress, which would place limita-
tions on rights of railmen to select
the court in which they choose to
sue for damages when injured on
the job.

Says Importation
OF Alien Farm
Labor Unnecessary

Washington, d. c. QLNS). =
A special farm labor committee of
the U. S. Employment Service
meeting in Washington was told
that the entire American Fedora
ton of Labor was greatly concern
ed with proposals to continue the
importation of foreign workers for
exploitation on the nations farms
and did not believe that such a pro-
gram is needed. The USES Farm
Labor Committee is composed of
approximately so representatives
of agricultural producers and pro-
cessors from all states.
The AFL position was set forth
by H. L. Mitchell, president of the
National Farm Labor Union, who
charged that an invasion of thous-
ands of Mexican workers across
the Texas border last October was
by agricultural employers
in collusion with authorities in
violation of U. S. immigration laws
and international agreements with
Mexico. He said this occurrance
has had a serious effect on relations
with Latin American countries.
He also charged that some agri-
cultural employers want a perman-
ent system of forced labor on the
nations farms, pointing out that
foreign workers brought into the
country illegally or under contract
a controlled labor supply
that is near peonage. Such workers
are not free to change jobs for bet
,er wages or working conditions.
The union leader urged that the
D. S. Employment Service concern |

placement of American farm work

citizens be recruited before any

Churches Asked To
Study Age Problem

Cincinnati 0LNS).-The grow
tn of the older age group in the
population is presenting problem
of increasing seriousness but much
can be done to give them a useful
place in the social and economic
system, the Committee on Religious
Ministry to Older People declared
in a report to the Federal Council
of Churches meeting here.
The committee said that 2 out
of every 10 persons in the United
States will be over so years old
within the next 25 years and older
people are becoming an increasing
ly larger group numerically and
proportionally' to the total popula-
tion.
In 1910 there were nearly A.
OO0,000 persons over so years old,
an increase from ga percent in
1900 to 10.5 percent in 1910. Both
the proportion and the numbers
are expected to double by 1878.
This poses serious problem to
the nation, the report said. More
people are living many years after
their productive days are over, and
few are able to save enough to last
them through their retirement.
This places greater burden on
the community than had been pre-
felt, especially since few
older people are wanted as work
ers by most businesses, the state
ment said.
There are, however, many ways
in which older people may be used
in the economic life of the nation
if society will but gear itself to
make use of them, the report said.
Such use would not only Tighten
the burden on families and tax
payers but would also add consid-
arably "to the self-respect, secu-

Child Labor Law
Weak Spots Are
Named By Zin,and

New York (LPA)-Three SER
ious weaknesses in the federal
child labor law should be remedied
in the 81st session of Congress,
Mrs. Gertrude Folks Zimand of
the Natl Child Labor Committee
asserted last week.
Here are the weak points, as
Mrs. Zimand describes them:
First, the indirect approach of
the child labor provisions which do
not directly bar child labor but pro-
hibit shipment of goods by estab-
lishments which have employed
children within 80 days prior to
shipment, permits evasion on the
part Of employers whose business
is of such a nature that shipment
does not Immediately follow the
production of goods.
Second, children working in
some industries, such as Western
Union, have been held by the us.
Court not to be covered
by the child labor provisions Of the
federal law, even though under its
wage and hour provisions, because
the establishment in which they
are employed does not actually
produce and ship goods.
"Third, agriculture is covered
only indirectly through a phrase
which exempts from the child labor
provisions children working while
not legally required to attend
school, Because of the lower
standards and special exemptions
in many state school attendance
laws for children in farm areas,
this is a very weak provision"

New York City GLNS).-High
tribute to William Green, president
IF the American Federation Of La

ng, President Green said that the
nation looks TO the next Congress

alton in the fields Of labor, social
iecurity, health and housing.
The AFL chief was the guest of
lonor Of the Workmen's Circle at
he Central Needle Trades High
School, in recognition Of his many
years Of Courageous leadership in
humanitarian causes beyond the
all Of his immediate duties"
Sees TIL Repeal Mandate
Green told the 2,000 persons at
he meeting that labor expects
congress to repeal the Taft-Hart-
ey Act soon after it meets. Con-
gress, he emphasized, had receiv-
ID a clear-cut mandate to repeal
he measure.
"Mr. Truman's election last mon
n was victory for all Of u.s." he
added. at was, above all, victory
)y and for labor. Reports reaching
as from la Dor organizations
throughout the world show that
workers everywhere share with the
American worker the feeling that
he election was a victory for lib
eralism, progress and freedom"
Charging that two world wars
have resulted from "mismanage-
ment," Green declared that organ
ized labor was bent on increasing
is participation in world affairs.
He predicted that when the voice
IF labor was heard and needed in
he highest international councils
there would be no more wars.
Ralph Wright, Assistant Secre-
tary of Labor, who represented
Secretary of Labor Maurice J.
Tobin, paid glowing tribute to
Green's "many contributions to
American life" which "have won
him recognition and the plaudits Of
all good Americans"
AFL Leadership Cited
civilian Green" the Labor De-
partment official also said, "has
the character of the Am
erican labor movement. Because Of
men like him, the American labor
has worked to improve
wages and working conditions un-
der the processes of free collective
bargaining. Under his great lead
ership, it has remained dedicated |
to the principles of freedom and
democracy.
"In these and many other ways,
President Green has done much to
make America a better place in
which to live and earn living"
Secretary Tobin, in message
read by Wright, said that the ZEN
Turing testimony of VILLA m
Green's successful leadership is
he influence of the American
Federation of Labor on American
life. Under his able administra-
ion, the AFL has reached unpre-
.edented strength and, today, its
membership is at an all-time high.
What is more, the federation is
to grow to meet the
hallenges of our times-economic,
ocial and political"
