75c Woge Floor
Bill Sent To
House Debufe

Washington (LPA)-After sew.
eral days of hot argument, the
House Labor Committee last week
finally produced the Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1949, which will
be debated on the floor next week
if present plans of the Democratic
leadership go thru.
The new bill would raise the
minimum wage from the present
4Oc to 75c, would extend the COW
erage of retail establishments to
/ 100000 more workers, would
make it easier for firms with an
nual wage guarantees to comply
with the law, and would center ad-
ministration of the wage-hour law
directly under the Secretary of
Labor.
The measure is a compromise,
agreed to by the pro-labor Demo-
Gratis in the committee in order to
try to get the votes of their south
ern colleagues. On every close is
sue the vote in committee was 13
to IL, with ailing Rep. Adam Clay
ton Powell Cd, N.Y. sticking thru
the sessions to cast his crucial
vote. Only southerner who voted
for the stronger law was Rep.
Hugo S. Sims ID, S.C). Despite
several concessions, the solid COP
bloc was joined by Reps. Wood Cd,
Ga.), Barden o., N. c. and Lucas
Cd, Texas).
In last-mihute maneuvers the
bill was weakened by a whole SER
les of exemptions which were put
in to appease the southerners.
While they didn't cast their votes
for the bill, the southerners did
succeed in eliminating from the
wages and hours. provisions of the
proposed bill all agricultural work
ers, all executive, administrative or
professional workers and all out
side statesmen, all workers engaged

In addition to the regular study

Milwaukee (ILNS).-The fourth
annual Summer School for Work
ers sponsored by the United Auto
mobile Workers of America, AFL,
will open June 19 at the University

Courses offered will include
Union Leadership, Collective Bar

Job Evaluation. This latest course
will be a follow-up TO the basic
job evalution classes held during
the 1947 and 1948 institutes. The
wide appeal of the School for

interest in labor education are eX-

Four Labor lie oders Join With
Senator Thomas In TIL Radio Blast

Washington (LPA)-Four of the
nations top labor leaders joined
/ by Sen. Ebert d. Thomas, chair
rman of the Senate Labor Commit
tee, sat side by side at radio
broadcast here last week to level a
broadside at the Taft Hartley act
and all who are trying to save
some part of it to punish Ameri-
can working men and women even
further than has been done al
ready.
They were AFL President Will
liam Green, CIO Sec'y-Treas.
James B. Carey, speaking for Pres.
Philip Murray, Pres. George M.
Harrison of the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks, and Pres. Harvey
w. Brown of the Intl Association
of Machinists.
The five men spoke over the ma
tional network of the American
Broadcasting Company Saturday
night March 12), in a half hour
program sponsored by the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
Sen. Thomas began the program
by quoting from Business Week"
magazine, of Dec. Is, which assert
ed that "given a few million unem-
ployed in America, and given an
administration in Washingto 20 n
which was not pro-union, the Taft
Hartley Act could conceivably
wreck the labor movement"
Sen. Thomas commented after
this quotation that it is difficult
for him to believe, in view of what
has happened, that the authors of

high-powered legal staff will go
before a three judge court of Fed
eral judges here soon to explain
on what grounds it, believes the
lobbyist registration law is uncon-
stitutional.
The NAM, which has been charg-
ed by at least three Congressman
with writing the major portion of
the Taft-Hartley law, filed suit
against the government in January
asserting that Congress did not
intend that the lobbist registration
law should apply to an organiza-
tion "whose efforts to influence
legislation are merely Incidental
to the purpose for which it is
formed"
The Justice Dept asked several
weeks ago that the NAM suit be
thrown out as completely without
foundation, but the court decided
it would be better in the long run
to hear what the NAM has to say.

Textile Union Ask
Quick Repeal Of
.Taft-AartIey Law

Washington (LPA)-Two major
unions reminded Congress last
week that not only organized labor,
but the great mass of unorganized
working men and women in this
country, and indeed, the American
public as a whole, are impatient
for the quick repeal of the vicious
Taft Hartley act and the re-enact-
ment of the Wagner act with
changes suggested by President
Truman.
The suggestions were made in
letters from the Textile Workers
of America and the Communica-
tions Workers of America-Ind.
Both letters attracted attention,
though sthe House Labor Commit
tee spent almost all week hearing
representatives of management, all
of whom urged retention of the
TIL act.
John Edelman, of the Textile
Workers, addressed letters to all
members of the House Labor Com
mittee saying his organization was
concerned over the fact that a
number of textile plants are now
giving "questionnaires" to their
employees on what kind of labor
legislation they would like. The
questions are all loaded, Edelman
wrote, and though the union men,
bers who received them know
enough to refuse to answer as ex-
pected, the many unorganized
workers are filling them out as
the employer wants and mailing
them to their congressman.

badly take care of ourselves" Edel-

Work Picks Up At
Universal Plant
Atcambridge, Ohio

Cambridge, Ohio-There was g
small turnout at our last meeting
when we held our primary election
for national officials. This was
probably due to the bad March
weather. John Tulip, Vice Pres
ident, was in charge of the meet
ing in the absence of Frank Camp
bell, who is in the hospital.
Brother Lawrence Keates of the
Welfare Committee made report
of the cash donation presented to
disabled brother, who has been
confined to bed at Coshocton since
last July. A letter of appreciation
from the family thanking the
members of Local 1872 was read.
The meeting took on the air of
the filibuster in Washington when
someone opened a discussion of
the Potters News which was freely
around the shops. 1t
was thoroughly cussed and dis
cussed for almost an hour. This
was followed by a nice talk by
Harold West from Local 124. His
were mostly a review of
events in the organization since
the last convention. He deplored
the state of affairs within the or
ganization, especially the court
action involving certain members
and our national officials. He pre-
dicted that someday the member
ship would settle affairs at con-
and not by court action.
The membership is sorely sick of
the whole mess and a squaring
away would be a welcome relief.
Amen.

the Taft Hartley act have a gen.
uine regard for the free enterprise
system in this country.
He was followed by Mr.. Green
who pointed out what organized
labor has done to fight communism
in the US. and how the American
voters had indicated their disgust
with the TIL act in the last cleo
tions. Lincoln once said, Green as
serted, that whatever hurts labor
hurts the nation"
In plain words, Carey asserted,
"the Taft Hartley law is a loaded
law, which gives all the benefits to
management and it gives all the
difficulties, the burdens, the pen
alties, to the men and women who
work for a living and who join
trade unions to protect their jobs.
81 don't know of a single instance
where a worker fired his boss be-
cause he was active in the Natl
Association of Manufacturers or
the Chamber of Commerce." Carey
said. 81 do know of cases when
workers are being discharged or
denoted for union activity. So long
as that continues, a law to protect
the basic rights of workers will be
necessary"
Brown said that boiled down the
issue of the Thomas bill today is
one of collective bargaining against
individual bargaining. When sup
porters of the TIL law say their
law is bill of rights for workers,
they mean that the law seeks to
give a worker the encouragement

Federal Loan Agency For
Conservation Needed

Washington (LPA) A broad
conservation program is necessary
unless we are to always have scar
city prices for some products, the
Public Affairs Institute warned last
week.
In study called "Our Conserva-
ton job" the Institute suggests
the establishment of a National
Resources Corporation that would
make loans to individuals financing
soil conservation, crop work, and
forest conservation. A large-scale,
well-planned job is necessary, the
report points out, and under the
present system of financing, either
by ordinary loans or by Congress
ional appropriations it is impos-
sible.

The delegates as in former years
will no doubt be confronted with
many serious questions to be given
a hearing that will have an import
ant bearing on the running of the
organization.
AS provided in section 8 of the
Constitution, local unions through
out the trade shall elect delegates
at any one stated meeting in May.
The, Executive Board, it is
thought, will have a short pre-con-
vention meeting to take up among
other things, the appointing of the
various committees which will work
together throughout the conven-
tion.
The opening session undoubtedly
will be given over to the reading
of the financial statement of the

Education Bill
Only 0ne-Third
What Is Needed

Washington (LPA)-The federal
aid to education bill-sponsored by
Sen. Ebert Thomas Cd, Utah), and
seven other Democrats and six Re-
publicans is inadequate, the
AFL's Committee on Education as
serted last week.
Nothing less than a billion dol
lars can begin to do what must be
done," committee chairman and
AFL Vice-president Matthew Woll
asserted. This contrasts with tho
authorization for $300,000,000 a
year contained in the Thomas-Taft
bill, which is now before the Sen
ate Labor Committee. The Thomas
Taft bill would aim to provide at
least $50 a year for education for
every child in the country, with the
federal government providing no
less than S5 child, and more for
the poorer states.
The billion dollars, according to
the AFL, is needed for these pur-
poses: Ito raise public school
teachers salaries. 2-To provide
essential services for all children
to protect and promote their health
and welfare. 3--To provide scholar
ships and loans for worthy stud
ents in need thereof, to enable
them to complete their education.
4-To provide aid for a sorely
needed school building program.
