State Legislators
Deserve Help To
Defray Expense

Washington (LPA) - Although
AFL President William Green told
the Senate Labor Committee in
plain words last week that he was
not considering a plan to make out
right payments to state legislators
to help defray their expenses, more
than one person agreed that some
thing ought to be done about the
situation.
Sen. Murray, d., Mont.) asked
Green if it wasn't true that many
corporations and employers in the
states helped pay the expenses of
legislators, and Green agreed that
it was.
The whole question brought this
comment from the Machinist, week
ly publication of the Int'l Associa-
tion of Machinists:
"Our hat is off to Labor's League
for Political Education for the
dramatic way it has called atten-
tion to the starvation wages paid
to state legislators.
"a man or woman has always
had to be independently wealthy in
order to accept election to a state
Legislature, or he or she has had to
be on somebody's payroll. That
somebody, of course, has always
been an employer corporation. In
its report on state legislatures to
the recent AFL Executive Council
meeting, the LLPE recalled that
once, in Wisconsin, some Socialist
union members passed the hat to
help liberal member of the Wis
consin Legislature.
"The daily newspapers seized on
this report as the basis for the
charge that the AFL was planning
to subsidize state Legislators. The
editorial writer's Immediately came
out against it.
"We congratulate the LLPE for
focusing public attention on the
need for every state to pay it's leg
islators a living wage so they won't
need subsidies from labor-or from
employer corporations"

Printer Uses His
Linotype Machine
To Write Senator

Washington LPA) - Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey, along with
other members of the Senate Labor
Committee, gets a lot of letters
these days while the committee is
holding hearings on the Truman
labor bill. Last week he heard from
man who put his opinions down
in hot lead.
The letter was from Jack O'Con-
nell, a Washington, d. c., linotype
operator, who with another printer
had visited one of the night ses-
sions of the Labor Committee hear
ings and heard an agent of the
commercial printing industry urge
the senators to keep the Taft Hart
ley law.
O'Connell was so impressed with
Senator Humphreys questioning of
the commercial printer that when
he got back to his shop he sat down
at the machine, set it on 10 pit.
century type on a 2l plea width
and started with his ideas. When
he finished, some 92 picas-or Is
inches-later, he just pulled gal
ley proof of the type and sent it
along to Senator Humphrey.

Asks For Civil
Rights Treaties

w a s h n t on (LPA)-A high
State Dept official told the Nation
al Citizens Conference on Civil Lib
critics here last week that the hu-
man rights provisions Of the United
Nations Charter must be put in the
form of obligations between nations
if another war is to be averted.
The official was ID. V. Sandifer,
acting director of the Office of
United Nations Affairs of the State
Dept. He told the delegates to the
two-day meeting that the provis-
ions of the Charter on human rights
are not enough, as they stand.
The conference also heard a num-
ber of other Washington officials,
including Paul Porter, former OPA
Administrator, who expressed the
opinion that the governments 10y
atty program should be abolished
because of the way it has our con-
cepts of freedom of association.
A number of labor figures also
took part in the sessions, including
George l.. Weaver of the Commit
tee to Abolish Discrimination and
James A. Wechsler, Washington
correspondent for the New York
Post and well-known labor writer.

Union Industries Show At Cleveland
To EcIipse All Former Exhibitions

Washington, d. C. QLNS). -
The Union Industries Show, to be

Cleveland, Ohio, will eclipse all
former exhibitions sponsored by
the Union Label Trades Depart
ment of the American Federation
of Labor. al believe it will go down
in the chronicles of American or
ganized labor as the crowning
event of 1949," |. M. Ornbun, the
director, said here.
"In addition to the elaborately
decorated booths the entire audi
torium will be all dressed up" Orn-
burn said. "The design of good re-
lations,' which is the goal of the
Union Industries Show, will be dis
played by posters on the huge pill
lars of the auditorium. They will
carry the emblem Of labor-manage-
ment cooperation-a huge scale in
which the worker and employer are
equally balanced.
"Other posters will carry all
union labels, shop cards and service
buttons. They will be displayed in
the booths of the various manu-
facturers, Industries, and display
spaces occupied by the respective
AFL national and international
unions"
To Have"Newest Look"
"Modernized designs for display
booths are now being planned and
they will give the show the newest
look" he added. Thousands of
American consumers will visually

minds about the rightness of what
they're doing.
As they see the tremendous
battle that democratic unionists in
&c m m u n t-ridden France are
waging for free unionism, demo-
cracy and better life for the
workers, their devotion to the
ideals of democratic trade union
ism regardless of national lines
has become deep and vital part
of their lives.
There is not one bit of destruc-
tive criticism in what they've said
about the operation of ECA. It's
been essential in fact to
maintaining the very life of sew
eral nations. All the US union
men ask is that more real progress
sives be sent over here to work for
ECA, and that US labor as a
whole, thru ECA and thru direct
aid to free unions here, does more
to help European labor establish
those economic standards which
are the only firm basis for demo-
'cracy.

Mosher Gets Full
Treatment At
Hearings On Bill

Washington (LPA) - The Natl
Association of Manufacturers-the
focal point of big business react
ionary views and conservatism
made it's appearance at the Truman
labor bill hearings here last week
in the person of Ira Mosher, pres
ident of the group. Mosher went
home a much battered gentleman.
Senators Pepper and Humphrey
topped off the hearings on Friday
morning by riding roughshod over
the NAM president. After Mosher
read a prepared statement to the
committee, which not only approx
ed the TIL act, but urged the COM
mittee to add more to it to restrict
labor unions even more, Senator
Pepper tore loose, like this:
"Mr. Mosher, the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers is a
greater enemy to democracy than
labor will ever be. You are a
spokesman of reactionary forces in
this country that can't see beyond
the end of their noses, and yet you
control radio, the press and other
media for influencing. the public" :"
"There is less, 3featherbedding in
labor than M management, and
much less tyranny, and consider
ably more democracy" Pepper said
that the NAM never comes in to
say a word about such necessary
and progressive legislation as that
pushing the construction of new
houses, or rent control, or more
pay for teachers, or the construc-
tion of new schools, "but if labor
asks for decent living wage, man.
mobilizes to come here
and talk about democracy"
Humphrey broke in to list 25
pieces of major progressive legis-
lation between 1888 and 1941 and
said the NAM had been opposed to
every one. In fact, Humphrey said,
the only thing the NAM had ever
of beside the Taft-Hart-
leg act was the Panama Canal.
He asked Mosher outright if he
could recall any liberal legislation
that the NAM had ever supported,
and Mosher was unable to do so.
End speaking Of featherbed-
ding" Humphrey asked Mosher,
would you consider it featherbed-
ding for company to take huge
full-page ads in newspapers during
the war to advertise products which
were not on the market, or throw
huge cocktail parties for friends,
and to charge both those expenses
up to cost to lessen taxes?"
Sen. Pepper returned to the mat
ter, of profits, to Mosher's discom-
fort. ~ know who made the profits
m the war, and so do the American
people. There are always the peo-
Pile who stay home and make the
profits. And now with their highest

those abolished a century ago.
AFL Forces Inquiry
Thorp's attack came as the coun-
ell took up for discussion the AM
erican Federation of Labor's insist
ence on an investigation of enforc-
ed labor in eastern European coun-
tries. The AFL demand was before
the last two sessions of the council,
but had been sidestepped until the
present session.
The A7L accusation was "per-
haps the gravest charge that can
come before the Economic and
Social Council" Thorp declared.
1t had geen generally assured,
he told the council, that the En-
ancipation Proclamation of Lincoln
and the abolition of serfdom in
Czarist Russia had ended a dark
era in human history. Then, he
said, came the shocking horrors of
the Nazis and now eve have before
us document which alleges that
millions of human beings behind
another line are being forced to
live and work under conditions
which are tantamount to slavery"
Says Searchlight Needed
"Such charge cannot be ignor-
ed" he contended. eff it lacks
foundation, the accused countries
should desire and be given every
opportunity to have their reputa-
tions cleared. If it is correct, then
the members of the United Ma
tions, pledged by the Charter to
promote universal respect for, and
observance of human rights and
Fundamental freedoms for ALL
must face the issue squarely."
Despite the thick curtain of sec
recy maintained by the Kremlin
authorities, Thorpe continued, "en-
ough information has come to
world attention from Sow e t
sources, as well as from a steadily
increasing number Of other sources,
to point the need to turn the
searchlight Of inquiry in this dir
ection."
Cites Soviet Admission
He said Alexei Pavlov at pre-
yioi1c sessions had admitted tho av
istence of what the Soviet repre-
sentative described as corrective
labor camps" but did not give any
information on the number of pris-
oners nor describe precisely what
the corrective" camps corrected.
Thorp said that for questions
such as "What conditions did the
prisoners work under and what was
the death rate ?" Pavlov had only
presented a cloak of secrecy,

.AFL Legislative
Pay Aid Left To
State Federations

Washington, d. C. QLNS). -
The American Federation of Labor
will leave to state federations the
decision on proposal to aid poorly
paid state legislators, AFL Pres
ident William Green said here.
Provision of such aid so that
labor sympathizers could afford to
serve as legislators was discussed
at meeting of the administrative
committee of the AFL Labor's
League for Political Education.
The legislative-aid proposal was
part of broad campaign consider
ed by the league to increase labor's
voice in national political affairs.
Consideration of direct aid for
labor-minded legislators stemmed
from a discussion of various anti
closed-shop state laws.
In reviewing the problem of re-
pealing such laws on a state-by-
state basis, the suggestion was
made that unions could have
greater voice in state legislatures
by helping make it worthwhile for
persons in accord with union aims
to run for office, or to help those
in office meet the daily cost
of living.
The League for Political Educa-
tion will begin the campaign but
the extent to which it will be push
ed will be up to the state fedora
tions, Green said

One hundred thirty-one fatal ac-

(which seems to be one of the sur
est indications that there is much
to hide"
Sees Challenge to Reds
Thorp said that there was much
disturbing evidence of slave labor
in Navaya Zemlya and Komi in far
northern European Russ ia; in
northern Siberia; in the Dalstroi
area in the northern part of the
Soviet Far East; in the Kazak and
Kirgiz Soviet Republics, and in
Sakhalin.
If the representatives of the So
Wet and other countries deny that
forced labor exists in their coun-
tries then let them open the way
for an impartial study, he said.
