Blacksmiths' New Paper
Called Anvil Chorus

Chicago (LPA) - The Brother
hood of Blacksmiths & Drop Forg-
ers-AFL has issued Vol. | No. l of
a new monthly journal.
It's the first time in 27 years
the smiths have had a paper of
their own, and they've named it,
quite appropriately, The Anvil
Chorus.
Union president John Pelkofer
is editor of the new publication.
Commenting on the first issue at
the AFL convention in st. Paul he
told reporter:
Launching of the new paper
can be regarded as a symbol of
the progress we have made"
Pelkofer said that the union
abandoned an earlier paper, the
Blacksmith's Journal, after the
railroad shopmen's strike of 1922
depleted the treasury.

Canadian Labor
WithdraWs From
Red Federation

Ottawa (LPA) = Despite boos
and threats from the Connie
liners, the Canadian Congress of
Labor, Canadian counterpart of the
CIO, voted enthusiastically to with
draw from the Communist domin-
ated World Federation of Trade
Unions.
In fact the Commies were taking
a beating right down the line at
the Gel convention here.
The leftist Mine, Mill & Smelter
Workers were expelled, and five
officials of the United Electrical
Workers were barred from all
meetings when the convention ap-
proved an earlier order suspending
the UE officials for "slandering"
the Marshall plan.
The 800 delegates representing
100000 workers were expected to
vote on a proposal to make a per-
manent alliance with the Coopera-
tive Commonwealth Federation,
political grouping in which labor,
farm and socialist parties are join
ed. The Gel has supported the
CCF since 1941.

Minton Hearings
Move By Senators
To Embarrass Him

Washington IPA) - The rea
temper Of this Congress was de
monstrated this week by the decis
ion Of Senate Judiciary Subcom.
mittee to make Judge Sherman
Minton testify in his own behalf
for his nomination to the Supreme
Court.
This is the first time in many
years that Supreme Court nom.
inee has had to appear on his own
behalf. Ordinarily Senator's and
former Senators are confirmed
without any such rigamarole be-
cause they are so well known by
Senator's there is no excuse for
such procedure.
What will the Senator'S learn
from an hours questioning of Min
ton they do not already know
They know he fought for President
Roosevelt's court reform bill, as
who didn't in those days among
liberal Senator'S. Does this mean
he is not fit to be a Judge? If so,
neither were Senator James F.
Byrnes, nor many others now high
in public life, including President
Truman.
But the purpose of this move is
to embarrass Minton and if pos
sible stir up a backfre against
him. The chances are not very
good that it will succeed. Minton
is not only held in high regard by
all liberals, but he has even been
by the American Bar
Association.
But liberals should not let the
Senate get away with this kind of
stuff. 1t shows what the Senators
would do if they dared. In the end
most of those now embarrassing
Minton probably will vote for him
to keep their records clear.

Dulles Goes On
Record Favoring
Most Of TIL Law

Medina, N. Y. NPA)-Use Of
the injunction against strikes ''in
time Of war, and during cold
war" is advocated by Republican
candidate for the Senate John
Foster Dulles. The COP hopeful,
running against ex-Gov. Herbert
Lehman who advocates outright
TIL repeal, suggested only few
softening amendments in his col
league Bob Taft's present law.
In a campaign statement aiming
for labor support, the Republican
whom Dewey appointed to fill the
unexpired term Of Sen. Robert F.
Wagner said he was against the
use of injunctions except "in time
of war and during cold war" and
in case of foreign-inspired political
strikes.
Another section of Taft Hartley
to which Dulles turned his atten-
tion was the non-Communist aff-
davits provision which has become
something Of joke since several
well-knwn Communists publicly re-
signed their Party membership for
the purpose of filing affidavits. In
sisting that he wants to be fair to
both sides, Dulles said he thinks
officials should sign
statements as labor officials are
required to do now.
Constroversial sections of the
law, such as the ban on closed shop
and penalties for use of secondary
boycotts were completely ignored
in the Senator's statement.
Attacking the Truman admins
tration for failing to get new
aw during this session Of Con-
gress, Dulles accused the President
Of keeping the "slave labor" law
On the books in order to have a
1850 campaign issue. The candi-
late failed to mention that the adj
labor bill was kill
I'd by coalition of Republicans
and Dixiecrats.'

Fund Raising
The Easy Woy

st. Paul (LPA)-It seems that
Joseph Keenan,, the director OF
Labor's League for Political Edu-
cation, doesn't need to appeal for
contributions; they come to him
without asking.
For example, at the AFL Build
ing Trades Department convention
."Joe" keenan, gave stirring
speech on the need for aggressive
political action. He said nothing
about d-raising.
A delegate, impressed by Kee-
mans talk, promptly put a motion
that everyone present give volun-
tary contribution to the League Of
mot less than 81" The motion
carried with a whoop-and each Of
the approximately $50 delegates
and visitors promptly contributed; !;
many Of them, more than 81.

0Ids' Chance Seen
Slim For Approval

| Washington (LPA) - AS hear
ings closed on Leland Olds' nomin
!, alton for a third term on the Fed
eral Power Commission, he appear
ed to have only a slim chance fol
winning approval from the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee
despite clear-cut evidence that his
only opposition comes from the
private utility interests which he
has been trying to regulate in the
public interest.
The hearings closed Oct. 3 after
Olds spent a full morning on the
stand refuting the smears prepar-
ed by the natural gas lobby and
spread before the committee earl
ier by Rep. John E. Lyle, Jr. Cd,
Tex.).
"Mr. Lyle has attempted to build
up chain. of evidence largely
based upon quotations of single
sentences, differences, and innuen-
does" Olds asserted.
At one point, Sen. Homer Cape
hart Or, Ind.) referred to Lyle as
Sen. Lyndon Johnson's Cd, Tex.)
witness. The impartiality of John
son, chairman of the subcommit-
tee holding the hearings, was ques-
toned by Drew Pearson in a ma
tionwide radio broadcast the pre-
vious evening, because JohnsOn's
law firm in Texas represents gas
and oil interests.
Flatly denying that he had even
been a Communist or Communist
sympathizer, Olds handed the com
mittee a democratic credo which
reminded some reporters of the
eloquent statement by David Lii
enthal, the Atomic Energy Com
mission Chairman, when his loyal
ty was questioned by Congress-
ional committee.
81 believe" Olds stated, "that
We in America are engaged in the
development of a new order within
the framework and spirit and in
tent of the great American consti-
tuition.
81 believe that the most serious
threat to our institutions comes
from those who refuse to face the
need for change to adjust worthy
to the changing times.
81 believe that We must preserve
the American ideal of economic as
well as political democracy against .
the abuses arising from concentra-
tion of economic power with it's
destruction of free enterprise. Con-
centration of economic power has
a tendency to develop into kind
of private government regimenting
other peoples money and other
peoples lives.
81 agree with Thomas Jefferson
that widespread poverty and
wealth cannot long
endure side by side with demo-
cracy." II

Judge Authorizes
Review of Rail
Strike Grievances

st. Louis LPA)-The 2S2 griev-
ances at issue in the strike of 5000
members Of four rail brotherhoods
against the Missouri Pacific Rail
road will be subjected to judicial
inquiry, but whether such a pro-
cedure will settle the strike is an
other question.
Judge George H. Moore Of the
US District Court ordered the in
quiry after receiving petition
from Guy A. Thompson, trustee of
the road which has been in reor-
ganization under federal bank
ruptcy law for 16 years.
Judge Moore named Jesse w.
Barrett Of this city, one time at
torney general for Missouri and
Republican candidate for governor
in 1886, special master to conduct
hearings and recommend which Of
the grievances are to be settled.
However, r. f. Davidson, assist
ant chief grand engineer Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers and spokesman for the
unions, said that "any recommen-
dation by a special master could
not be binding on u.s."
Davidson declared there was no
provision in the railway act for
such a procedure. He added that
Alvanley Johnson, president of
advised him mot to
worry about it.
Meanwhile, the governors of
their representatives of the nine
states affected by the month-long
strike were scheduled to confer
here in an effort to find solution
to the 100000 worth of griev-
ances.

Justice Dept Looks Into
State Medical Societies
Under Antitrust Lows
BY DONALD WOODS

Washington LPA)-The Justice
/ Department disclosed today tha'
it is investigating charges of mon
opoly practices by "the American
Medical Association and certain
other medical associations" anC
should the charges prove wei
grounded will prosecute.
This statement came in reply tC
charges issued by the ANA il
Chicago that the Justice Depart
ment's antitrust division was ter
rorizing doctors with "police state
methods in the Administrations
campaign for enactment of nation
al health insurance.
(The ANA made this charge in
the face of the fact that only last
week David Brown resigned as
$4,000 editorial director of its
campaign against health insurance
because he had investigated the
AMA's contention that it was be-
ing terrorized and found it false. }
(The ANA statement was issued
by it's board of trustees through
DR.. George F. Lull, ANA general
manager, apparently to try to
make it's charge of terrorization
stick in the face of Browns at
tack.)
The ANA statement called upon
all other groups attacked under
the antitrust laws to join with the
ANA in opposing POLITICALLY
motivated attacks" by the anti
trust division. In effect, this was a
call to battle by monopolists
against the government. The re-
cords of the antitrust division
show that almost all of it's cases
are won in the courts.
In its statement, the ANA said
the antitrust division had "at-
tackled" 16 state and county medi-
cal societies within the past 30
days and that the board of trus-
tees room in Chicago was broken
into early last February in a
search for information. (The i'm
plication was that the Justice De-
partment had done this breaking
in, although the Justice Depart
ment does not have to use such
tactics. 1t was over this charge
that Brown resigned.)
"We are convinced" the ANA |
said, "that these are not bona fide
antitrust Investigations and that
the American people will not toler- |
ate police state methods in this
country.
Observers wondered how the
ANA could be so sure these were
not bona fide charges. The ANA
tself already has been convicted
once for antitrust law violation,
charges are now pending against
1T least one medical society, and
he Committee for the Nations
Health has published report
showing that in 22 States the medi-
al societies have been fighting
.onsumer-operated medical pro-
grams.
The Justice Department state
nent indicated it was these tactics
hat it was investigating. 1t said
t. had received numerous COM
,laints from doctors and the gen
raj public charging the American
