Hearings Set On
IHibusteF Curhs

Washington (LPA)-On Jan. q,
hearings will open before the Sen
ate Rules Committee on measures
intended to prevent filibusters
from staIling Senate business.
If approved, the rules changes
will clear the way for Senate pass
age of the Truman civil rights
program, heretofore blocked by
long-talking southern Senators who
refuse to allow civil rights meas
ures to come to a vote.
Only members of the Senate will
be heard, and a bloc of II south
erners is already preparing to ap-
pear in opposition, and to stall
action as long as possible. While
Chairman Carl Hayden Cd, Ariz.) }
held his Democratic colleagues in
line against a Republican proposal
to end flibuster rules without
hearings, he is expected to speed
the hearings with the assistance of
northern Democrats and Republi-
cans. The 17-man bloc wants to
prolong the controversy.
Only southerners who didn't join
the bloc are Senators Claude Pep

civil rights program, and Estes

the civil rights bill, but disapproves

Ching's Report
Blasts tn Law

Washington. (LPA) - Cyrus S.
Ching, former US Rubber Co. ex-
ecutive, now head of the Federal
Mediation & Cancellation Service,
attacked the strike-staIling mach
inery of the Taft Hartley law in
his annual report to Congress this
week.
Ching's fortnight report was in
sharp contrast with the claims of
Taft Hartley hackers, like the old
Joint Congressional Committee on
Labor Management Relations,
which have attempted to white
wash" the anti-union law, and
credit it with solving the problem
of industrial peace"
Here are some of the points
made by the governments number
one industrial disputes mediator,
which Congressman bent on amend
ing the Wagner act when it is re-
passed will take into consideration:
1.-The Taft Hartley laws so
day national emergency strike
injunctions have tended to "delay
rather than facilitate settlements"
During the "cooling-off PERIOD"
Ching points out, both sides have
usually left questions open rather
than knuckling down to them
around the bargaining table. The
evidence, Ching says, supports
either a shorter cooling off per-
iod" or one of indefinite duration.
In some cases injunctions made the
cooling off period a warming up
period"
2-Denying to fact finding
boards, us Taft-Hartley does, the
right to make recommendations
makes them incapable of mobiliz-
ing' public opinion in support of a
proposed settlement.
3-In virtually all cases "settle-
ments which are negotiated by the
parties themselves without the aid
of third persons are the best and
lead to the most stable relations"
both state and federal medi-
ators in the Taft-Hartley era were
guilty Of unnecessarily interced-
ing labor disputes"
5-Ching recommends that part
les to a dispute be required by law
TO participate in conference called
by FMCS. Some employers and q
few unions have refused to do so /
n the past, Ching revealed.
The FMCS director also insisted
hat government conciliators are
Useful only if their impartiality is

Labor Takes Lead
In Big Drive For
Increased Output

Washington, D. c. GLNS). -
Labor is moving out into the lead
in Great Britain's big drive for in
creased production, the Economic
Cooperation Administration office
here reports. Union leaders have
initiated practical moves along sew
eral lines 10 bring the current pro-
duction campaign home to every
worker in mine and factory, the
ECA mission says.
Throughout Britain labor leaders
viii hold regional meetings in the
coming months to consider con-
crete measures to make the pro-
ductivity drive effective at the shop
level. They will decide on methods
to make the program work, indus
try by industry and under varying
local conditions.
Raising the productivity Of the
individual worker is recognized by
trade unionists as the most import
ant step toward Britain's and Eu-
ropes recovery. About 1850 mem
bers Of trade union executive com
mittees conferred in London re-
Gently to consider how the leveLof
productivity could be raised. They
had before them a report Of the
General Council Of the Trade In
ion Congress which stated that the
time had come "to pass from the
stage Of exhortation" and that it
was necessary to "grapple with the
fundamental difficulties in a prac-
tical way"
A variety Of practical ap-
proaches" will be considered at the
regional meetings, which are the
next steps in a carefully planned
campaign.

Oil Agency Wants
No Holds Barred

Washington UPA)-Nat1 Pet
roleum Council, official agency Of
the big, big oil industry, outdid it
self last week in its customary
gimme" act.
The council declared it was for
state control Of the tidelands, those
oil-rich lands under the Pacific and
Gulf coasts, and then proceeded to
give its views on other oil pro-
blems, which unintentionally ex-
planned why they don't want the
federal government to have rights
to the lands.
Free enterprise and a minimum
of government control are the
heart Of the NPC proposals for a
national oil policy. In a study sub
mitted to Interior Secretary Julius
A. krug, the council also requested
that they be freed in their foreign
operations from American regula-
tions restricting cartels and that
tax laws be changed so they can
pile up Expansion capital"
They want the government to
halt its experimental synthetic fuel
production program, claiming that
the job belongs to private industry
but they give no guarantee that
they would do the job.
Finally, they see no need for un-
derground storage in peace-time
and want only the most limited
stockpiling of military oil. In the
event of war, they say, they could
convert quickly.
After all, why save the stuff
when you can make the kind of
profits they're making at current
inflated prices.

WHO'S A PIMP?

Washington (LPA)-Labor-bait-
ing Rep. Clare Hoffman OR, Mich.)
was ruled out of order on the floor
of the House last week when he
said he might ask the Congressman
to expel Rep. John Lesinski Cd,
Mich) for calling him, "a pimp of
Joe Stain, a prostitute" Lesinsbi
scored 1000 on the laugh meter
when he gave his version of what
he had said at a Kalamazoo labor
meeting about Hoffman's attempt
ed investigation of the steelwork-
ers. "That is not the way | said it, "
Lesinski declared, 81 said, to me,
that is what Hitler tried to do in
Germany and that to me Hitler is
just a pimp Of Joe Stain"

USW Union Sues
Kd!amuzoo Steel
Firm For $4,000

Washington (LPA) = U mi t d
Steelworkers of America last week
filed $4,000 damage suit against
the Shakespeare Co. of Kalamazoo,
Mich, where the union has been on
strike since Sept. 7. The strike was
swept onto front pages thruout the
country last month when Rep.
Clare Hoffman Or, Mich.) decided
to hold a one-man hearing on viol-
ence at the plant gates.
The damage suit, announced By
Steel Workers General Counsel
Arthur J. Goldberg, charges that
the company illegally cancelled its
contract with the union, refused to
recognize the steelworkers as bar
gaining representative, intimidated
strikers, and cost the union $4,000
in strike expenses since September
plus at least $4,000 a week from
now on.
Besides the $98,00O, USA-CIO
wants the court to rule that Shake
speare Co. illegally ended the con-
tract signed in July, 1947 and as
suring them their bargaining rights
under the agreement. A month
after the company sent notices
terminating the contract they told
all employees that certain life, ac-
cident, disqualification and benefit
insurance programs had been can
celled.
Rep. John Lesinski, new chair
man of the House Labor Commit
tee, has declared that he will hold
fair hearings on the Kalamazoo
violence. Union officials, who walk
ed out on Hoffman's illegal hear
ings, have announced that they will
cooperate with the new committee
head in the investigation.

Can't Sfom och
Coop Proposal

Washington (LPA)-The several
million listeners to a December
Americas Town Meeting Of the
Air who heard Herbert u. Nelson
of the real estate lobby propose
support for housing cooperatives
learned this week that Nelson's
plan has been slapped down by the
Natl Association of Real Estate
Boards. Nelson is executive vice
president Of NAREB.
At their annual meeting here,
the real estate interests referred
the coop plan back to committee,
thus keeping their 1909 batting
average as anti-tenant, anti-veter-
an, anti-anything that might pro-
vide homes for low and middle in
come families.

Rent Control Law
Has Top Priority

Washington (LPA) = Proposals
for new rent control law, to re-
place the one expiring March 81,
will have top priority before the
two Congressional Banking Com
mittees.
Sen. Burnet Maybank Cd, S. CO.
announced that his Senate commit
tee will start hearings on rent con-
troll Jan. "a. And Rep. Brent
Spence Cd, Ky.) who will head the
so-far unorganized House commit
tee has pledged quick action.
Unions will support a rent con-
troll law far more effective than
that proposed by Housing Expedit-
er Tighe Woods. Sen. Francis j.
Myers Cd, Pa has already draft
ed a measure which would extend
rent ceilings for 27 months. 1t
would recontrol new dwellings ire
moved from controls by the 80th
Congress), and would apply to con-
verted dwellings and permanent
hotel units, including apartment
hotels.
= Tenants in new dwellings, decon-
trolled by the last Congress might
have rents rolled back to levels
prevailing for comparable controll-
ed units in their area, under Myers
bill.
The Pennsylvania Senator's mea-
sure also would give the housing
eXpediter power to control for the
first time, or to recontrol, whole
areas where rental housing is
scarce, and priced sky high.
The so-called voluntary" 1870
leases, accepted under the old law
by tenants in exchange for long
term occupancy, would no longer
be granted if Myers bill is passed.
All of these points have been
urged for months by AFL and CIO
representatives who know the
needs of their members in cities
all across the country.

Washington (LPA)-Republican
Senators sniping at the appoint
ment Of Dean Acheson as Secre-
tary of State were set back on
their heels this week by endorse
ments of his appointment from

broad understanding of the basic
international problems Of our time
and we are convinced that his
views on maintaining firm policy

own.

ALCOA BARS GATES TO
NORWEGIAN UNION MEN

Knoxville UPA)-The smooth,
but heavy, schedule of the dele
gates Of seven Norwegian trade
union leaders, studying American
union activities and production
techniques, was broken last week
by the arrogance Of one OF Amer
ica's huge corporations-the Alum
inum Co. of America.
Matthias Osland, a representative
Of the Norwegian Aluminium Work
ers Union, was particularly anxious
to see one Of Alcoa's big plants in
operation. But the Mellon-ruled
combine refused to let him and his
colleagues visit any of their mills.
Hasty phone calls between the
Norwegians, led by Haakon Lie,
former secretary-treasurer of the
Norwegian Federation of Trade
Unions and now general secretary
of the Labor party, and the Office
of Labor Advisors in the Economic
Cooperation Administration saved
the day. With the help of IVA
officials, who the European union
lists were visiting at the time, ar
rangements were made for Osland
to inspect the integrated aluminium
works of the Reynolds Metal Co.
at Sheffield, Ala. one Of the few
important aluminium works Alcoa
doesn't control.
Until Alcoa refused to play ball
the Norwegian laborites had met
warm receptions everywhere they
went. Their tour was set up by the
ECA labor division in cooperation
with the AFL, CIO and unaffiliated
unions.
At Knoxville they had been met
by IVA Chairman Gordon Clapp,
and discussed bargaining problems
in government operated projects
with representatives of the Ia AFL
unions and the Int'l Association of
Machinists, who make up the IVA
Trades & Labor Council.
In Pittsburgh they spent several
hours with President Philip Muir
ray, and inspected the headquart-
ers of the United Steelworkers of
America.
John P. Busarello, president of
District 5, United Mine Workers,
escorted the Norwegians thru one
of Americas most modern coal
mines.
While visiting Albany, NY, all
seven of them attended a joint ex-
ecutive board meeting of the Int'l
Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite G.
Paper Mill Workers-AFL and the
Int'l Brotherhood of Paper Makers
AFL.
The Norwegians told United
Auto Workers President Walter
Reuther, in Detroit, that they were
impressed with the JAWS health
and welfare programs. But, the
Scandinavians declared, in Norway
their Labor government has put
thru complete national health
bill, so that health and welfare
problems are no longer important
collective bargaining issues.

without somehow paying for them.
Strange as it sounds, health
costs money. We want better
health, so we must pay. But as a
nation we shall gain in stronger
people, with more years of useful
ness and with smaller strain on in
stitutions for the care of the sick
and the INDECENT.
So it goes, in ever so many fields
"The good old days" of simplicity
have gone forever They weren't
as good as many people think they
were. We shall see ever better and
better days for more and more
people.
If only we could be freed from
the awful threat of war, what
might we not do?
