What A Union Has Done
For Southern Workers

The Dan River workers had a
union
A negotiating committee elected
by the members set to work at once
to improve the wages, hours and
conditions of employment which
had formerly been established by
the whim of company officials. The
first contract was not the best in
the world, but it provided the
framework for additional gains in
further negotiations. Wages have
been. raised in series of confer
ences with the company from the
legal minimum of 40c an hour to
the now prevailing minimum of 94c
an hour-a gain of more than
1000 in six years. The average
wage in the mills has approximate
ly tripled.
Grievance machinery and the
principle of seniority were estab-
lished and improved in succeeding
contracts. One and two weeks paid
vacations were secured. Christmas
was won as a paid holiday. A shift
bonus was instituted for the third
shift. Company paid disqualification
was negotiated, and other stand
ard union features were incorpor-
ated into the series of agreements
which followed the initial contract.
Today, the union members of the
Dan River Mills are looked upon as
the pattern settlers" of the south.
One of the sore points of Dan
River workers in their unorganized
days was the system of stretch.
outs used by the company to secure
maximum production at minimum
costs. The company attempted to
continue imposing eXorbitant work
loads even after the union was in.
1t set up a huge standards" de-
partment and developed a compli-
Gated incentive program based
upon the time study system.
To beat this attempt at wage
cuts, the union called on the Inter-
national for assistance. The re-
search department of the TWUA
sent an industrial engineer to Dan
vile and for three full years, the
union studied and met the COM
pany's incentive system on all
fronts. Workload clauses were
written into agreements, stewards
were instructed in the details of
the system and how to control it,
so that today, the union is able to
counter company efforts to wear
out workers.

DingeIl Denounces Medical Association
For Their Scheme To Kill Health Bill

Washington (LPA)-The shap-
est and most thoroly documented
attack on the American Medical
Assn ever to be heard in the halls
of Congress highlighted the first
day of hearings before a House
Interstate Commerce Subcommit-
tee on the Truman health insurance
bill.
Rep. John Dingell Cd, Mich.)
called the AMA's $3,500,000 cam
paign against health insurance
"the slickest thing that was ever
conceived to befuddle the people
and the Congress-"
Dingell, co-sponsor with Rep.
Andrew Biemiller Cd, Wis., of the
House bill, spared no words to de-
scribe his contempt for the hard
core" of big-city doctors in the
ANA who are spearheading the
drive. Behind them, he charged,
are big insurance companies and
the same group of employers that,
in 1885, fought against workmen's
compensation and social security.
He assured members of the COM
mittee that they needn't worry
about veiled threats by doctors
groups that they'd be fought in
the next elections if they voted for
health insurance. Dingell related
how, each time he's been up for re-
election, the doctors organizations
have made these threats, and each
time his margin of victory has in
creased. "The rank and file Of the
people will support any
man who will stand up and fight
for health Insurance." he asserted.
81 have evidence here" Dingell
told the committee, "that doctors
are being asked by the ANA to
capitalize on the intimate relation
ship between doctor and patient
for the political purpose of defeat
ing the Presidents health program
and to retain the monopoly the
ANA and the local medical societ-
les hold over the economies of /
He then passed around copies of
the plan prepared by the high
powered publicity firm of Whitaker
and Baxter, described by LPA and
this paper last week. The public
sts want local medical societies to
send them the name and address of
he personal physician of every
of Congress. They will
hen prepare a personal" letter
rom doctor to Congressman-pat-
ent telling him Of the danger of
medicine, and asking for
lis help in defeating any compul-
ory health insurance program
which may be submitted" In other
words, Dingel added, 'the doctors

He warned that the patriotic
compulsions which helped the vol
untary FEPC during the war no
longer exist in the minds Of many
employers. To-day a fair employ
ment practice statute patterned
exactly on the model of the execu-
tive order creating the wartime
FEPC could only point up the weak
spots in our industrial life," Town
send declared.
"We are convinced" the CIO
spokesman asserted, "that the pas
sage of this bill is not only matt
er Of social justice to the indivi-
dual, but a matter Of grave econ
omic concern to the nation. If we
deprive millions Of people Of the
opportunity to make their max
imum productive contribution, il
means that we are robbing the
American economy Of the tremen-
dous wealth that our total energy
and capacity could produce"
Similar points were made in the
testimony Of President A. Philip
Randolph OF the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters-AFL, long
time leader in the fight for FEPC.
Randolph pointed to such major
industries as the railroads, public
utilities, oil, auto, aircraft, food
processing, insurance and banking
as fields Of employment in which
members of minority groups are
Disseminated against.
without fair employment to
supplement full employment, the
poison Of Hitler's fascism and Stal-
ms communism may get into the
blood stream Of our country and
run to the heart Of the nation"
Randolph warned.
Clarence Mitchell, labor secre-
tary Of the Natl Association for
the Advancement Of Colored Peo-
pie, put the COP right on the spot
when he said that there are enough
votes to pass FEPC this year even
if every southern member Of Con-
gress votes against tiff the Re-
publicans, who are pledged to
FEPC in their 1913 platform, sup
port the bill.
State FEPC enforcement heads
from New York and Massachusett
disclosed that their state laws
have worked well. They said that
virtually no resort has had to be
made to the enforcement powers,
but declared that the existence of
these powers was necessary TO the
laws operation. They agreed too
that national statute is needed.

Unions, State Officials
Wont National FEPC Bill

Washington (LPA) - Star wit
nesses for fair employment prac-
tees legislation last week were re-
presentatives Of the AFL and CIO,
and members Of the commissions
carrying out state anti-discrimina-
tion laws.
AFL Legislative Representative
Lewis Hines presented the AFL's
case to the House Labor subcom-
mittee chaired by Rep. Adam Clay
ton Powell Cd, N.Y..
He reminded the Congressman
that the AFL's 1913 convention
unanimously endorsed FEPC, and
pointed out that the AFL had
given vigorous backing to FDR's
wartime FEPC.
Hines declared that discrimina-
tion leads to substandard wages
for the minority groups affected.
This has a detrimental effect on
the wages of all workers, he said,
and is harmful to our whole econ
omy.
Negores are not the only victims
of unfair hiring policies, Hines as
serted. He cited studies which
prove that since the end Of the
war there has been a 1859 in
crease in job advertisements speci-
flying that no Jews will be hired.
The overall social effects Of dis
elimination in job opportunities
were clearly outlined in Hines
statement.
"The denial of jobs on an equal
basis to Negroes and other minor
tiles has very greatly depressed
their standard Of living" he said.
"The result has been large Incl
dence of sickness, bad housing,
juvenile delinquency and other Soc
ial and physical ills among these
groups which has represented a
very considerable cost to society at
large. Therefore, even from the
standpoint of its own selfish inter
est, the majority stands to gain
from improvement in the economic
condition Of minority groups"
CLOS statement was presented
by President Willard Townsend Of
the United Transport Service En-
ployes.
Townsend pointed out that the
great weakness of the wartime
FEPC was that it had no enforce
ment power. Having no power to
enforce its orders, it operated eff
fectively only where the main Soc
ial forces of the community sup
ported a fair treatment of minor
tiles"

Hits '0xcart Way
OF Paying For
Our Health Bills

Washington (LPA)-Citing the
proof that national health insur-
ance is needed, Acting Federal
Security Administrator j. Donald
Kingsley in a statement filed with
the House Interstate Commerce
Subcommittee last week said that
"our basic problem is not medicine,
but the economics of medicine, the
oxcart ways in which We finance
our medical services"
"There is little use training many
more doctors or building many
more hospitals without at the same
time providing means thru which
the people can pay to use them, "
he said. In the same way, wealth.
ier communities have many more
facilities than poorer communities
and rural areas where the need is
greater.
"If you live in New York state,
for example, with a per capita an
nual income of $1,000 you will find
available five hospital beds for
each thousand of population and
one doctor for every 500 persons.
But if you live in Mississippi with
a per capita income of only about
5000, you will find less than two
hospital beds per thousand of popu-
Iation and only one doctor for
every 1900 people, instead of a.
doctor for each 500."

the post of assistant attorney gen
eral in charge of land office cases.
| When he returned to private
practice in the late '30s Mcfarland
was able to list as among his
clients Standard Oil Co., American
Smelling & Refining, and number
of far west utility companies. Dur
ing the war Mcfarland unsuccess-
fully pleaded the vicious Baltimore
Transit Co. case before the NLRB.
This was the case in which the com
pany cancelled the draft defer
ments of men active in the union.
He developed a keen hatred for the
NLRB trial examiner who first
ruled against him in the case.
For about SIX years Mcfarland
headed the ABA committee which
worked up a new law to govern the
administrative tribunals of the gov
ernment. When Congress worked it
over, a much better law than the
one Mcfarland had favored was
adopted. Most of the gimmicks that
he and other corporation lawyers
wanted to work into it had been
removed.
When the csc proposed to set
up a board of real experts to pass
on the qualifications of federal trial
officers, Mcfarland was the only
outsider proposed for the board.
SO vigorously did he lobby against
the appointment of government
chief trial examiners that csc had
to cancel its first list and appoint
instead the present board.
It's second member is Willis
Smith, former ABA president,
counsel for 32 corporations, includ-
ing NY Life Insurance Co., Int'l
Paper Co., Armour & Co., the
Southern Railway, and the Wac
hovia Bank. Wachovia is the bank
of R, J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., and
of southern textile firms. In addi-
tion to these connections, Smith
himself is principal owner of the
Royal Cotton Mills in North Caro-
lima.
Several of the corporations for
which Smith is a lawyer are init
mately tied to real giants of Amer
lean business like the Chase NATL
Bank and American Telephone &
Telegraph.
The other active member of the
Board of Examiners is Joseph
Henderson, another ABA past pre-
sident, a director as we'll as the
lawyer for the City Natl Bank of
Philadelphia and the Eureka Cas-
ualty Co. He is ON close business
terms thru these posts with the
BIO railroad and the Berwin-
White Coal Co., one of the largest
in the world.
Henderson, like Mcfarland, has
a particular grudge against the
NLRB. 1t ruled against his clients
in the notorious Berkshire Knitting
Mills case and the Republic Steel
case

InfuOuI Lne country last Wecn
members of the Textile Workers
Union of America-450,0 GOO of them
celebrated the tenth anniversary
of their organization. The textile
workers are proud of their union,
and they have a right to be.
The story of TWUA in Danville,
Va, is typical of the unions his
tory. 1t shows what strong, dem
ocratic union can do, for the work
ers on the job, and for the whole
community.
Danville, a city of $4,000 is stu
ated on the Dan River in south CEN
tral Virginia, just a few miles
from the North Carolina border.
Providing the main source of en-
ployment for the city's population
and for county people for miles
around is the huge Dan River Cot
ton Mills = the worlds largest
single unit cotton mill-employing
more than $4,000 people, today all
members of TWUA.
Nearly twenty years ago, under
the leadership of the United Tex
tile Workers-AFL, the Dan River
workers made their first attempt
at self-organization. 1t was part Of
the organizing effort made in
many southern mills during the de-
preston. But in spite of a careful
organizing jobs and a courageous
strike the Dan River works lost
their union.
Thousands of men and women
returned to jobs which ran for II
hours shift six days week. Take
home pay was 81 to $12 week,
Hundreds of strikers were perman-
emily blacklisted for their part in
forming the union. Families were
forced to leave town to find work,
or changed their names so that
after a while the company, not re-
membering who they were, would
take tnem Dack.
With the formation of the Tex
tile Workers Organizing Commit
tee in 1887 and of TWUA in 1889
the textile workers in Danville be-
gan to think again of the possibil-
ity of breaking company domina-
tion of their lives. They saw the
gains being made by textile work
ers in other areas thru TWUA. By
1912 they were ready for another
try.
TWUA launched a full scale or
ganizing drive in Danville. AS be-
fore, every resource of the COM
pany was brought to bear against
the union. The local newspapers,
closely tied in with the mills, did
all they could to discredit the lead
ers and the members of TWUA.
But the economic situation was
different from what it had been int
the early 3O's. The mills were work.
ing full time, and the company
wanted production to continue. ltI
was unwilling to precipitate a
strike. An NLRB election was call
ed by the union, and despite last
minute employer efforts to WOO
the workers away from unionism
TWUA won a resounding triumph.

Ohio House Votes
Paee-Setting New
Jobless Benefits

Columbus, o. (LPA)-Pace-set-
ting liberalization Of Ohio's unem-
ployment law has just been won in
the Ohio House, as a result Of a
united front of all labor organiza-
tons in the state.
By vote Of 100 to 27, the House
passed bill which boosts max
imum payments to jobless from S21
to $50 a week; extends the period
Of payments from p to 26 weeks
year and reduces the waiting
time for benefits from two weeks
to one. The $50 maximum includes
$3.50 dependency allowances for
each child, with a limit of two
children.
In addition, many jokers in the
present law under which workers
are disqualified from benefits were
knocked out through a new defini-
tion Of suitable work" Various
other improvements were secured.
A few setbacks were suffered by
labor, through the adoption of sew
eral amendments sought by en-
ployers, but both the AFL and CIO
declared an excellent bill emerged
out of the parliamentary battle.
All the opposition votes were cast
by Republicans. A similar measure
passed the Senate, but
that body must still ratify the
House changes.
All labor groups in the state,
under the banner Of the Ohio Joint
Labor Legislative Committee, unit
ed their forces to put the measure
over. The committee includes the
State Federation of Labor, Ohio
CIO Council, United Mine Work
ers, Railroad Brotherhoods and the
Ohio Federation of Telephone
Workers.
In joint statement, they noti-
fed the legislature that son this
issue we in labor-over one million
shoulder to shoulder
