employment was urged upor
by CIO chieftain Philip MUIR
Murray spent about a hall
hour at the w h hite House
emphasizing the importance
of enacting the CIO program
He said that "the confused
economic situation of the ma
ton" along with the fight to re-
peal the Taft Hartley law, are
the two things uppermost in the
minds of American trade union
lists right now.
When Murray left the White
House reporters asked him what
the Presidents attitude is on
Taft Hartley. Referring back to
Truman's campaign pledge to
push Taft-Hartley repeater
Murray said; Il don't think the
President is shifting in the
slightest degree" !"
He added that the situation on
Taft-Hartley looks very good
in the House." and that he ex-
poets "some changed attitudes
in tie Senate. "There'll be an
election in 1885," the CIO chief
reminded the newsmen.
THE whole gamut of the
Presidents legislative program
was discussed Murray reveal
ed.
Leaves Statement
A prepared statement which
Murray left with the President
points out "the present levels OF
unemployment have resulted
from the initiation which we
tried to avoid by the mainten.
ance of controls in 1916"
The CIO, Murray said, wants
prompt payment of unemploy-
ment benefits to workers hit by
the production cutbacks, and in
creased compensation scales. He
declared too that the govern
ment must take steps to relo-
cate some workers who have
been displaced in areas where
employment opportunities have
been reduced.
Murray advised Truman to
send a special message to Con-
gress, explaining how uncheck-
ed initiation has resulted in the
current unemployment of over
100000 workers, and calling
for expanded plant capacity, and
wage increases, to provide the
work and income readjustment
needed to meet the crisis.
He said that profit margins
must be reduced, so that more of
industry's income goes into
wages.
step Up On housing
The government itself should
step up public housing con-
struction, and prepare a pro-
gram of useful public works, to
provide immediate employment
for some of the workers who
have been fired by private in
dustry.
Among the industries which
must increase their plant capa-
| city Murray listed steel, electric
power and aluminium.
Government can, by revamp-
ing its tax and fiscal policies, en-
courage private industry to pay
better wages, increase its output,
and syphon off less money into
profits the CIO president re-
marked.
He told President Truman that
the basic problem is the inabil-
.ity of our economy, as it is now
operating, to absorb the current
I 1000, ,000-a-year increase in the
number of workers available. If
I the issues aren't dealt with now
they'll become even more grave,
he warned.

Old Age Pension Increase Asked
The House Public Welfare
Committee reported out Rep.
John ]. Gallagher's H.B. .-281 to
liberalize the old age pension
law. The Cleveland Democrat
wants to up pensions SIS per
month, to a maximum of $50
and remove the present $500
ceiling on medical care for the
states elderly citizens.
The committee indicated the
bill would next face the finance
committee and its chances of
survival depended on the budget
picture. Early in the session the
Governor had told the Assembly
he hoped" pensions could be
upped. Whether this hope"
could be translated into action
depends on the financial picture.
Unemployment Compensation
Showdown Nears
In an hour-long executive
session Tuesday, the House In
dustry and Labor Committee
adopted some clarifying, cor
rective and somewhat strength
ening amendments to the Unem-
ployment Compensation Bill
.S.B.-142. Then the bill went to
a five-man subcommittee to iron
out two chief sore points - vol
untary quits and what to do
about compensation for inno-
cent victims of Labor disputes.
The subcommittee is due to
report Tuesday. Meanwhile, ev-
eryone, from the Governors of
flee on down, has hand in the
picture. CIO stands firmly for
the voluntary quit clause won in
the Senate and wants some clar-
ification of the muddled section
dealing with strike-caused un-
employment.
Business interests are exert
ing tremendous be h in d-the-
scenes pressure seeking to scut-
tie or water-down S.B.-142. The
showdown vote is drawing near.
FEPC Fight To Open In Senate
The FEPC fight shifts to the
Senate this coming week. The
Senate Commerce and Labor
Committee will launch hearings
Tuesday morning at 10. Propon-
ents will be heard first and the
opposition will get in its turn
at bat on Wednesday, with hear
ings also slated for 10.
FEPC opponents are pressur-
ing senators to vote against the
bill. Defeat in the House hasn't
slowed down their lobbying ma
chine at all. Big Business lobby
lists daily button-hole senators
and the pile of mail on each sem
ator's desk grows. It'll be an
other close battle on the Senate
floor for FEPC.
Some New Faces Due Next Week
Next week many CIO repre-
sentatives will be in Columbus
to attend the 10Th annual All
Ohio Safety Congress. While
here, they will undoubtedly Wis
it the State House to see what's
going on. Undoubtedly, they will
also see their representatives
and senators - to tell them what
the workers and voters back
home think about Unemploy-
ment Compensation and FEPC.
Yes, there will be some new
faces at the State House next
week - faces other than those
of the lobbyists usually seen
plotting their way around the
halls of the Legislature.

Next Coop
Fair Scheduled
Continued from Page l

they don't realize that through
out the United States the Coop
has been furnishing merchan-
disc to millions of people for
quite a number of years. It's new
to Toledo and to most of us, but
it's not new to the people who
have been receiving patronage
dividends and quality merchan-
disc for many years. We're COM
ing along fine" Mrs. Smith said
happily, "and after this next fair
is over there won't be too many
people who don't know the Co
Op story if they are really in
terested in finding out what it's
all about"
Memberships Piling Up
Meanwhile memberships are
continuing to pile up in the Co
Op offices at Memorial Hall, 805
A d m Street. Questionnaires
distributed in the pl a n S are
meeting with tremendous sue
cess, indicating that the majority
of the working people in Toledo
are either desirous of joining the
Coop or interested in learning
more about it.

by CIO chieftain Philip Murray.

Appearing before a joint
session Of both Houses, Gov.
Frank j. Lausche unveiled a
record breaking budget total
ing $40 million dollars. Based
on the expenditure picture in
the last half Of 1940, Lausche
said his budget estimated tax
receipts to continue at last
years level.
Reiterating his NON eW :
taxes pledge, the Governor
warned that to live within
the budget, the Legislature
would have to forego new
laws requiring appropria-
tions.
Some Help For Cities Seen
While the budget did little to
help the expense -burdened mum
icipalities, the states chief eX-
ecutive suggested 80 percent of
any tax receipt over estimated
income go to the cities. Another
80 percent would go to schools
and the balance to the state to
up pay of state employees and
/ increase old age pensions.
Meanwhile, the Legislature
passed as emergency legislation
a bill designed to help munich,
palities in tax levy votes. Pres.
emily tax levy has to chalk uE
a 65 percent majority vote tc
pass, Over real estate lobby op.
position, the Legislature cut
this percentage to 60, and the
emergency clause means no de

Child Labor Law Hearings Start
Hearings on S.B.-235, regulat-
ing hours of employment for
working children, got its first
hearings in the Senate Com
merce and Labor Committee
Democrats Catherine Do b b S
(SummiD and Howard Metz
enbaum (Cuyahoga) authored

labor laws conform with federal
statutes.
The bill would prohibit
youngsters under Ia from work
ing, with few exceptions
would bar all children under 16
and limit after school working
from manufacturing industries
hours.
1 Leading the fight for this bill
! is Elizabeth Magee of the Con.
sumers' League, the League ol
Women Voters, CIO and other
Labor organizations.
For the Ohio CIO, Secretary.
Treasurer Jacob Clayman urged
adoption, citing industrial casu.
atty statistics to show the acci-
dent rate for working children
l12 times the rate for adults.
I'VE should encourage, not
discourage, children to stay in
school" he testified, citing the
need for full education in oui
highly competitive economy
Rough questioning from some
committee members marked the
hearing with the ancient argu,
ment that work builds chill,
drens character" being recited
In answer, Clayman pointed ou'
that business advocates of free
child labor wanted cheap la
bor." They were not interested
| in building children's character.

on after the 32nd Division was
ordered home, but was trans

he also was given the job of
sub-area Petroleum officer.
This gave him several tankers
with which to shuttle gasoline
and oil supplies to various
points on Kyushu, Honshu, and
Korea.
When he was eligible to
come home he overstayed to
clean up a large P. O. L. and
ration dump at Sascebo which
