Labor Has A Stake
In Civil Liberties
By BRADFORD v. CARTER,
LPA Columnist

ssp REMARKABLY little interference with
~ labor's rights was generally reported"
according to a survey of the year made in rs
cities in 80 states by correspondents for the
American Civil Liberties Union and noted in
the ACLU report, just out. Chief interference
was in the south, the report showed
The report notes also that labor's resistance
to the shackling Taft-Hartley act weakened
the repressive force" of the law, and that
unions found devices for political action by
which the provisions of law could be circum-
vented, as they commonly are by corpora
tions"
All of which is no news to labor. What
is important about the report is its theme,
which is given in the title of the report: In
the Shadow of Fear" The report says:
"The imagined insecurity of the strongest
democracy in the world in the face of cold
war with Communism has created atmos-
phere in which fear makes the maintenance OF
civil liberties precarious.'
And whenever civil liberties are threat
ened so is organized labor Civil liberties 60
first, then labor is attacked, as any one who
remembers recent history can attest There
are no civil liberties under dictatorship-and
no free trade unions.
1t is this fear, says the ACLU report, that
is responsible for the failure of Congress to
enact a single civil rights measure to date, or
to remove the shackles of the Taft-Hartley act
from labor's political and civil rights This
fear, says the report admits 'of only Incl
dental attention to buttressing democracy by
substantial reforms"
The present "hysterical atmosphere" notes
the report exceeds in its severity, intolerance
and fears any such period in the Unions 20
years of activity and the dangers of enduring
damage are therefore the greater, as well as
the obligation to combat them"
The reports says the loyalty purge" was
largely futile. since of 2,457,0 900 government
employees checked up to June 1949 only 83
were found to merit discharge. And the list
of "subversive" organizations was widely
used by newspapers, public officials and 9TH
ers to condemn out of hand anyone connected
with them. All over the country the lists were
accepted as authoritative in determining dis
loyalty for quite other purposes than those in
tended by the Attorney General"
On the encouraging side, the report says
that the courts, particularly the u, S Supreme
Court have continued to stand by and even
to extend the principles of the Bill of Rights;
and on the international front, the United Ma
tions has for the first time in history laid
working basis between the nations and peoples
for enforceable universal civil rights and in
ternatonal freedom of communication"
P S The report can be obtained from the
American Civil Liberties Union, ITO Fifth
Ave, New York, New York, for % cents.
p p. S. Don't confuse the ACLU with the
Civil Rights Congress, which is horse of an
entirely different color.

SfeeI's Double STANDARD

THE ClO SteelWorKerS Union Is sldel-
L ing again-and hard-at the double
standards under which the steel industry
and many other industries have operated
for years.
This time the issue is pensions.
The union says the industry should
foot the bill for an adequate retirement
program for its employees. The industry
says mo"
It says "no" despite the fact that a
large number of steel company officials
will receive nice, fat pensions when they
retire-pensions paid for entirely by the
companies which employ them.
The union isn't arguing that company
officials should be denied pensions. It's
argument is that the industry should
abandon its double standard.
It must take lot of intestinal fort1-
tude-plus an over-abundance of gall
for officials who are slated to receive juicy
non-contributory pensions to claim pub
licly that the industry is opposed to the
"principle" of providing such pensions.
What the officials actually are saying
though in different terms-1s:
pensions are good things for us but
not for those who work under our direc-
ton
It's a position which the steel indus
try cannot justify, no matter how hard it
tries
But the position is not an unusual one
for the industry to take. It's typical OF
the attitudes expressed by the steel
makers throughout the years.
Unions have been fighting for years to
win for their members many of the en-
ployment benefits which were granted
almost automatically to management rep
resentatives and certain other groups
A real fight was required to obtain
paid vacations for factory workers -
fight that was won years after company
executives formed the habit of summing
themselves in Florida or cooling them
selves in the mountains at least once
year without missing paycheck.
CIO and SteelWorkers Pres. Murray
has lashed out often at the double stand
ard employed by most industries in pay
ing executives and production workers.
The former usually are paid by the year,
the latter by the hour.
Executives paid on an annual basis
usually scoff at the CLOS campaign for
institution of the guaranteed annual wage
for production workers.
They are opposed to the principle
of annual pay just like the steel industry
is opposed to the principle of non
contributory pensions.
Judging by past performances, it's easy
to jump to the conclusion that industry
strongly favors insecurity for the men and
women who operate its machines.
Industrys battle to keep employees
from forming unions was fight for in
security.
Industrys campaign against adequate
social security and unemployment COM
pensstion was designed to present in
creased worker security.
And, just so there won't be any mis-
take about the intensity of our feelings in
this matter, let us conclude by saying we
believe double standard" in the case of
steel means just about the same as double
dealing"

THE Electrical Workers I'm
Il ion, meeting in convention
at Cleveland, threatened to
withhold its per capita to the
CIO if President Philip Muir
raw fails to meet a six-po1nt
ultimstum.
The ultimatum charges raid
ing by other CIO unions and
makes a general attack on ClO
Secretary Treasurer James b.
Carey, who is former president
of UE.
UE's incumbent top officers
won reelection over a Right
wing slate, though by a con-
siderably reduced margin. The
Right wing delegates have de-
cided to send a 10-man delega-
ton to CIO President Philip
Murray "to determine the best
way to provide a CIO interna-
tional union in the electrical
industry free from the domina-
ton of the Communist Party.
In an unprecedented move
for a CIO union, the UE bar
red news photographers from
its sessions. That, of course,
didn't stop those enterprlslng
lensmen, members of the ClO
Newspaper Guild. They got
pictures by such methods as
entering the hall from another
section, etc. One girl posed as
the wife of delegate and took
pictures from the visitors gal
lery.
In general, the UE admin
stration spent the week attack
ing CIO, its policies, Murray
and other officers.
Convention of United Rub
Der Workers was filled with
drama, too, as tall, gray-haired
L. S. Buckmaster won back
the presidency of the big un-
ion.
Buck" as he's known to
many rubber workers, was re-
moved from top post in union
by a Us vote of its executive
board last May. Case at issue
was the "Pottstown affair"
Union president had charg-
ed that leader of a URW local
in the eastern Pennsylvania
city had handled unions funds
irregularly, exceeded his con-
stitutional power The local of
ficial, in turn, accused Buck
master of unconstitutional ac-
tivity in seeking to preside at
special meeting of the local
called by the unions national
president.
After extended hearings,
board removed Buckmaster
from office, charged him with
malfeasance.
But URW's convention, after
seven hours of serious debate,
over-ruled its executive board,
restored Buckmaster to his Of
flee for the remainder of his
term - about IL hours. Next
day Buckmaster and his entire
slate swept URW's annual
elections.

Rubber union convention
delegates, arriving in Toronto
for convention, found thenn-
selves in midst of aftermath of
the great Noronic disaster.
Big Royal York Hotel,
where convention met, was
also emergency headquarters
for Canadian Red Cross dlsast-
er relief. Day before conVen-
ton opened, hotel lobby was
iammed with delegates, Red
Cross and military officials,
survivors of ship fire and an
xious relatives seeking infor-
nation about passengers obard
the ill-fated ship,
Rubber workers received
warm praise from Toronto pa
pers for contributions to Red
Cross and for urging delegates
to double up their hotel space
to make room for influx of
visitors concerned with the
Noronic.
Congress has come through
on another item of the FAIR
Deal program - extension OF
Uncle Sans power to nego-
tiate reciprocal trade agree
mentS with other nations.
That trade program-aimed
at reducing tariff barriers, in
creasing international COM
merce - was first started by
FDR and former Secretary of
State Cordell Hull in 1884.
Government power to work
out agreements has been ex-
tended ever since - but 80th
Congress hedged the govern
ment in with restricting
amendments. President Tru-
man made the issue one of his
principal campaign points.
Trade agreement authority
was passed easily by the
House, but it nearly founder
ed in Senate. On vote on one
serious amendment, Vice-Pre-
sident Barkley voted for first
time this year - to break
tie and save the day for the
Administration.
Effects of devaluation of
British pound and of many
other currencies will be felt in
variety of ways; nobody knows
for sure how economic situa-
ton will work out.
British Trades Union Con-
gres's top council studied
move by which government
had cut value of the pound
from $4.03 to $3.50, then de-
cided to withhold judgment.
In Canada, Secretary Pat
Conroy of Canadian Congress
of Labor predicted that Domi-
MONS action in cutting value
of Canadian dollar to 909c
would result in higher cost of
living. While lower-valued
dollar will help Canadian ex-
porters, it will shoot up by
about 109o prices Canadians
pay for u. S.-made cars, oil
and gasoline, coal, textile raw
materials, citrus fruits and
other foods.
