Hosiery Workers
Plan About
Organizing Drive

Philadelphia (LPA)-The most
intensive organizing drive in the
history of the hosiery industry was
inaugurated this week by the Am
erican Federation Of Hosiery Work
ers. A 1000 unionization of the
industry is AFHW's goal, said
President Alexander McKeown.
During the past two months
AFHW has been perfecting the
plans for the drive which were ap-
proved in outline form by the
unions 9th convention held in
May. The AFHW staff has been
doubled and union leaders say
they're prepared to spend a million
dollars to make the campaign a
success.
"Fear and insecurity stalking
the hosiery worker is being forth
rightly challenged by this drive"
McKeown declared. "No hosiery
worker has to swallow a wage cut.
Our organization stands prepared
to pledge its entire strength in
combating such moves designed to
undermine worker welfare. We will
fight to the very end every instnce
of coercion and pressure to see
that the right to organize is pro-
tected."
McKeown, who is personally dir
Getting the drive, said that his 50,-
000-member union is still a minor
ity union in the industry which en-
ploys 10000. But, he emphasized,
the new campaign will reach into
every section of the country where
leg-wear is made.
Among the first targets is the
eastern Pennsylvania and New
Jersey region where a large num-
Der of open shops exist.
Key to AFHW's plans is coor-
dinated activity between the ma
tional union and its locals. In each
area there is a concentration Of
open shops, local unions will sup
ply the manpower and part of the
funds for the recruiting effort. In
this way the full resources of
$4,000 members will be
thrown into the drive.

TAFT TO OPEN
HIS CAMPAIGN
ON LABOR DAY

Columbus, Ohio (LPA) - Sen.
Robert A. Taft (R) will begin his
1850 reelection campaign in Ohio
on Labor Day-of all times-his
managers announced last week.
Flushed with victory in the recent
Senate debate on Taft Hartley law
repeal, the COP leader will tour
his statewide constituency coun-
ty-by-county, his friends say.
Special attention, they disclosed,
will be given the states industrial
centers, where the anti-union Sen
ator is weakest. Cleveland, Youngs-
town, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, Col
umbus, Cincinnati and Portsmouth
will each be graced by at least two
visits from the Republican Senate
leader.
No one in Ohio dares predict
who the Democratic nom n e
against Taft will be. Gov. Frank
Lausche, unquestionably his party's
best vote getter in the state, could
have labor support against the
prophet of Taft Hartleyisfn, de-
spite his own spotty union record,
if he chooses to run. But recent
Lausche statements imply that he
prefers another turn as governor.
His presence on the Democratic
ticket, however, should hurt Taft.
Mayor Thomas A. Burke, popu
lar with union men in his city,
Cleveland, is another possibility,
but he doesn't seem anxious to
make the race either. State Audi
tor Joseph T. Ferguson and Rep.
John McSweeney are also mention
ed.
A growing number of farm CO.
operators and local union people,
however are booming Murray Lin
coin, 81 year old President of the
Ohio Farm Bureau Insurance Com
panies, and of the Cooperative Lea
que of the USA. Lincoln, they say,
could command both farm and
labor support as could few other
Ohioans.
Stumbling block to the Lincoln
candidacy, however, is that the CO.
op head has always been register
ed as Republican, and Democratic
machine big-wigs aren't too en-
thusiastic about making him their
party's standard bearer.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Taft
himself stated last week that the
Republican platform for the 1850
race won't be drafted for another
year. Apparently he plans to stump
Ohio this fall on a platform of his
own choosing-including of course
a defense of the Taft Hartley law.

Small Cities To
Feel Burden OF
Radio Editorials

Washington (LPA)-The effect
of the Federal Communications
Commission decision that owners
Of radio stations may editorialize
will be felt most keenly in smaller
cities, according to the American
Civil Liberties Union.
A letter to all members of Con-
gress from James l.. Fly, himself
formerly chairman of FEC, assert
ed that "FCC can have no sem
blance of practical power to re-
quire a vague standard of fair
ness" in making radio station own
ers give free time for answers to
their editorials, especially ain our
smaller cities where there are only
one or two stations, and in cities
where the only radio stations are
owned by the single newspaper in
terest in that area"
ACLU is asking FEC to reverse
its decision, which will be impos-
sible to enforce, ACLU asserts.
Meanwhile, Columbia Broadcast
ing System has announced that it
will sell air time for the express
sion of opinion on public issues, as.
well as editorializing on behalf of
CBS' owners as it sees fit. CHS
President Frank Stanton hastened
to add that this will not affect
CBS' policy of allocating free time
for the presentation of opinion.

British Railway
Strike Called Off

3 London UPA) - Dollar-short
Britain's threatened railroad slow
down was called off last week at
the last minute. Minister of Labor
George Isaacs, himself a former
Trades Union Congress chairman,
is appointing a fact finding COM
mission to investigate the dispute
between the Natl Union of Rail-
waymen and the governing body of
the recently nationalized railroads.
The railroad managers turned
down an MUIR request for a 81
week raise for all its members, and
the MUIR in turn rejected a gov
eminent offer to increase the
wages of the lowest paid workers
only. Had the strike occurred it
would have been the first major
walk-out or showdown approved by
national union in the four years
that the Labor government has
been in power.
A big factor in postponing the
strike was its unpopularity not
only with the Trades Union Con-
gress executive council, but with
other railroad unions. Both the
Engineers & Firemen and the
Railway Clerks have strongly op-
posed the MUIR General Secretary
J. B. Giggins has been widely ac-
cused of playing up" to the pro-
Communist minority in his union.
Still tying up shipping in the
port of London is the lockers un-
official walk-out. The men have re-
fused to unload Canadian ships
manned by members of the Sea-
farers Intl Union-AFL. Their |
strike arises from a jurisdictional
dispute between the STU and the
Canadian Seamen's Union, whose
leadership is pro-Communist.
A committee of four Laborite
members of parliament which in
vestigated the dispute last week
that Canadian Communist
seamen have been going from port
to port in England soliciting the
of British lockers in their
dispute with the SIU. Prime Min
lister Clement Attlee, Deputy Prime
Minister Herbert Morrison, and
Arthur Deakin, general secretary
of the lockers union-the Trans
port General Workers Union
have all denounced the strike and
to the men to return to
work.
The government is sen din g
troops to unload vessels with per-
shable food cargoes.

Riqhfs Of Pickefs, Foremen Hit
In NLRB Toff-HorfIey Rulings

washington (LPA)-1ne rlBnIs
of union pickets and of organized
foremen were defined in Taft Hart
ley terms by two NLRB rulings,
released over the July A weekend.
"Physical obstruction" at the
gates of struck plant is contrary
to Taft-Hartley, the board declar-
ed. 1t found the United Electrical
Workers guilty of an unfair labor
practice, because of an anti-Taft-
Hartley demonstration, in support
of UE strike at the Cory Corp.
plant in Chicago.
The demonstration, in which
1900 to 1000 union men and women
marched for an hour, was planned
to Support" the Cory strike, not
just denounce TIL the board de-
clared.
Whether or not access to plant
is barred, not the number of pick
cts, is the question in "mass pick
citing" cases, the NLRB ruled,
making it clear that mass picket
lines" are legal so long as non
strikers are able to move in and
out of the gates.
The board also said that UE Of
ficials and strikers had assaulted
non-strikers and threatened them
during the Cory strike.
While the NLRB's findings in
the Cory case were unanimous it
split sharply over the issues in
volved in the complaint brought
against the Carnegie-Illinois Steel
Goa US Steel subsidiary-by the
Foremen's Assn of America.
A majority of the board-James
j. Reynolds, j. Copeland Gray and
Abe Murdock - stretched Ia f t.
Hartley just about as far as it'll
go when they upheld the discharge
of 80 foremen who refused to take
over thegworks of striking mem
bers of the United Steelworkers of
America.
This refusal was "such a serious
breach of their duty as to remove
them from the protection of the
act" the three board members
said. Inherent in their position as
the majority of the
board declared was the obligation
to do anything the company de-
manded of them "to protect its
plant from imminent danger of de-
struction."
NLRB Chairman Paul Herzog
and board member John Houston in
a dissenting opinion, shot the maj
ority ruling full of holes.
They disclosed that the steel
union had offered to let
men stay at work dur
ing the strike, but Carnegie-Illinois
turned down the offer.
Furthermore, the liberal board
members pointed out, foremen
have no unique obligation to per-
form duties not related to the reg
llar work they're hired to do, and
for which they have no special
qualifications.
NLRB Trial Examiner Irving
Rogosin, who took the actual testi-
nony in the case, had recommend
ID that the board order Carnegie
illinois to reenstate the supervis-
RS, with back pay. But the board
overruled him.

Rail Brotherhoods
Irked By 'SeIIout'

Washington (LPA)-Two men,
bers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission walked out" on rail
road labor organizations at a Sen
ate hearing last week on legisla-
tion to give the commission power
to enforce safety regulations on
the railroads.
The 1CC has been seeking such
a law for three years, with the
active support of the railroad bro
therhoods. The railroads oppose the
measure, for reasons of cost, as
they have opposed every safety
regulation since the ICC was estab-
lished.
At the hearing before the Sen
ate Interstate & Foreign Commerce
Committee Commissioners Walter
M. w. Splawn and J. Monroe John
son suggested amendments which
railroad labor spokesman said
would "cut the CUTS out of the pro-
posed legislation"
Commissioner William l.. Patter-
son, head of the ICC safety divis-
ion, stuck by his guns in endorsing
the measure.
The labor organizations charged
that the railroad lobby has been
carrying on an intensive campaign
to turn members Of the commission
and such Senators and Congress
men as they can influence against
the measure.
The labor groups are continuing
their efforts to have the measure
passed.

Governor Offers
Plan To Increase
Jobs, Production

Hartford, Conn. (ILNS). = Gov.
Chester Bowles has proposed a
comprehensive APPOINT program de-
signed to increase jobs and pro-
duction in New England. The Gov
ernor said the drop in employment
and production in the 5 New Eng
land states might seriously handi-
cap the rest of the nation in re-
covering from the nationwide
slump"
Bowles offered his plan in a let
ter to DR.. Edwin G. Nourse, chair
man of the Presidents Council of
Economic Advisers. He urged the
following action:
/. Removal of excise taxes on
clocks and watches, jewelry, cos
metics, and luggage, much of
which are manufactured in this
area, and removal of transporta-
tion and communication taxes.
2. Passage of "anti-depression
insurance" legislation now before
Congress, including broadened So
cial security, minimum wages and
Federal aid to education.
3. Channeling of Federal buying
where possible into areas and in
dustries most affected by unem-
ployment.
A. A public works program al
located to New England and other
severely affected areas.
Gov. Bowles wrote that one in 3
of Connecticut's factory workers
was out of a job and that 13 per-
cent of the states workers entitled
to unemployment compensation
were filing claims.
