Leighty reviewed record wage
gains since the last convention

the motion for his reelection
brought all in the hall to their feet
in a noisy demonstration.

assail the Taft Hartley act and
voice the hope that Sen. Robert
Taft will not decide to retire as
did the other sponsor of that act,
Representative Fred H Hart / e y.
"That would deprive too many peo-
pie of the opportunity of voting
against him." Pepper said.
Pepper declared that in a care
full analysis of the act he had fail
ed to find a single provision to
safeguard the interests of the
workingman. He quoted figures to
show it has increased and encour-
aged walkouts, rather than pre-

All To Observe
Union Label Week

Washington, d. c. GLNS). -
II urge every branch Of the Amer

Women's Auxiliaries to observe
Union Label Week, Sept. Sd
through the 10TH" said /. NJ. Orn-
burn, secretary-treasurer of the
AFL Union Label Trades Depart
ment, which sponsors the week for
publicizing union labels, shop cards
and union buttons.
"Here is an opportunity" he de-
clared, "to initiate a drive for
union products and union services
that is geared to our aIl-time pat
tern of union label activities. Let's
celebrate this week, over Labor
Sunday and Labor Day, by a gen
uine old-fashioned revival spirit.
Lets devote the whole week to
our great cause and prove to con-
sumers that the union label guar
antees the highest quality and best
craftsmanship in merchandise and
also that the shop card and union
button assure the greatest profic-
iency in services.
"The general purpose Of Union
Label Week is to create a better
understanding Of what the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor has done
to build America and what its
future program will mean for all
citizens" he added, "and by an
educational drive during the S-day
period greater good will can be
established with the public.
Governors of states and mayors
of numerous cities have already
issued proclamations. Business and
professional men should be invited
to participate in making Union
Label Week an outstanding event
in every city and community"

Celebrate Golden
Anniversary

Brussels LPA)-Nearly 10000
Belgian trade unionists paraded
thru the streets of Brussels last
week on the 50th anniversary of
the birth of the Belgian Federation
of Labor-the FGTB.
The parade climaxed almost a
week of notwithstanding from
rallies addressed by President Paul
Finet and other FGTB leaders to
operate concerts and athletic
events.
When the FGTB was established
by scattered unions of Belgian
workers fifty years ago it number
ed only 10000 members. Today it
counts over 100000. Vastly i'm
proved industrial conditions, high
er living standards, and Belgium's
comprehensive system of social
were credited to the
struggle of the early trade union
lists by celebration speakers.

trade union leaders present for the
occasion We're Leon Jouhaux, pres
ident of the French CGT-FO, and

Unions. Eric Kocher, labor attache

ILGWU To Have
Political Shop
Stewards Too

Unity House, Pa. (LPA)-In the
closing sessions of it's quarterly
meeting last week, the executive
board of the Int'l Ladies Garment
Workers Union-AFL, approved a
plan designed to increase the
unions political effectiveness.
Drafted by ILGWU political
action department director Gus
Tyler, the plan calls for the selec-
tion of political action shop stew
ards in each of the thousands of
ILGWU-organized garment shops.
President David Dubinsky and
other ILGWU leaders made it clear
that the political stewards are not
to be political commissars."
Their main task will be to enlist
the energies of union members in
support of labor's political aims.
They'll keep Congressman and
state legislatures posted on labor's
demands, as well as mobolize union
members for electoral action.
Tyler said that the ILGWU is
starting work this year on the cam
paign to elect Fair Deal Congress
in 1850. ILGWU members thruout
the country, he declared, have
pledged "unceasing warf are"
against the Dixiegop coalition
which has scuttled much of Pres
ident Truman's program.
The already heavy load of work
that the unions regular shop stew
ards and shop chairmen carry
makes it necessary to create the
new posts if the union is to make
its full weight felt in politics, the
executive board members declared.

Wage Level Held
AT 40c Minimum

Washington (LPA) - BY a tie
vote, the House Labor Committee
last week turned back a compro-
mise version of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, simply raising the
minimum wage from 40c to 75c an
hour. The vote was 10 to 10, and
the committee refused to allow
Chairman John Lesinski Cd, Mich. }
to cast two proxies of absent MEM
bers, both for the Toe bill. The
committee may try again this
week.
Meanwhile, the same committee
early this year passed much
broader bill, raising the minimum
to 75c, increasing the industries
and workers covered by the laws
wage and overtime provisions, and
improving the child labor prohib-
itions. Lesinski was unable to per-
suade the Dixiegop-dominated
Rules Committee to send the
earlier bill to the floor, but under
the rules he-as chairman of the
Labor Committee-could take it
directly to the House for debate
and vote.
A more limited amendment to
the Fair Labor Standards Act,
covering so-called overtime on
overtime" provisions in contracts,
has been passed by the Senate and
is now before the House Rules
Committee. The Senate amendment
would outlaw all suits to recover
back pay by workers in the long
shore industry, whose unions have
traditionally okayed agreements
providing premium pay for parti-
cular times worked, rather than

Aid For Israel

New York (LPA) - President
Jacob Potofsky of the Amalgamat-

well as the government and private
groups to give financial assistance
to the new nation.
"Israel is a citadel of democracy

Potofsky, who with Natl Mari

trip to Palestine for CIO, said that
he'll shortly file a full report with
President Philip Murray.
Housing and other pressing
Israel needs will require about

Denham breaches
Taft-HartIey Law
To U. S. Judges

Los Angeles (LPA) - NLRB
General Counsel Robert Denham
this week tried to enlist at least
the moral support of the federal
judiciary for the Taft Hartley law,
and his rigorous interpretations of
it.
Speaking at the conference of
circuit and district judges of the
ninth federal circuit, Denham pub
licly entered the battle against the
administration fight to repeal the
Taft-Hartley law, and asked the
judges to uphold him in his feud
with the five-man NLRB.
al admit to strong prejudice in
favor of the Taft-Hartley law"
Denham declared. 81 would be dis
honest if | did not do So"
With the Senate debate on
whether or not to retain THIS in
junction provisions in a new labor
statute at it's climax, Denham
openly aligned himself with Sen.
Robert A. Taft Or, Ohio) and the
other advocates of this way of
handling industrial disputes.
"Any injunction is obnoxious to
the leaders of organized labor, but
thruout all the rest of our regu-
latory machinery of government,
the injunction is almost standard
equipment of the administrator"
he affirmed.
Taft-Hartley's top enforcement
officer began his speech with
strong defense of the almost COM
plete independence which TIL
gives his office.
Then he told the judges, some
of whom may have to rule on cases
involving the issue, that the courts
should uphold him, not the board,
in their current feud.
The NLRB has asserted it's right
to refuse to handle small-time labor
disputes which do not effect inter-
state commerce. Denham, again in
his Los Angeles speech, insisted
that under TIL the board must
take up every case he wants pro-
secuted.
