Local College Boy
Leads Poker Chase

Fame as a creased pig chaser
came to local boy in Missoula,
Mont, last week.
George L. Quicker, university
sophomore and son of Jack Quicker,
Juneau broker, turned out to be a
hero in a campus porker round up.
The Missoula paper the following
Gay commented on the occasion
thusly:
Yesterdays creased pig chase
turned into a cross country OBJ
stacle race for the crowd and con-
fusion for the contestants before
they saw George l.. Quicker, Juneau,
Alaska, hoist the pig into its pen.
Somewhere along the trail an
other pig chaser, Amos Svennung-
sen, Big Sandy, was picking him.
self up and wondering where
everyone was going. Amos Thought
he had won. After all, he hao
caught the creased swine not more
than 80 seconds after the M clue
released the shorter before charg-
ing crowd of nearly 100 pig chasers.
Amos let the pig go when Judge
Lou Rocheleau, Missoula, told him
he had won.
1T was then that someone de-
cided the person who put the pig
in the pen would be the winner.
It was darkly suggested that this
was an M club trick to get the
animal back without t.. I'm having
to get messed up in the process
So they all left it to Quicker. And
George brought back the bacon
after a thrilling chase across the
oval, past the Art building and
over to the Jumbo lot.
THE upshot Of this greasy, con-
fusing. crowd-pleasing chase was a
declaration by Judge Henry Ford
that both Amos and George had
won. They got $3.50 each and ap-
peared to be happy as they trudged
off to the showers. Few persons
got close enough to offer congratu-
lations.
Both Amos and George LISTED
themselves as amateurs in the
creased pig-chasing game. George
didn't think it had been worth the
effort, while Amos made light Of
the contest by informing the crowd
that The pig wasn't hardly

Taft Wins Fight To
Save Taft-Hartley,
Labor Will Reply

Washington LPA)-The Dixie
gop coalition in the US Senate last
week disregarded the 1948 election
mandate and reenacted the essen
tial provisions Of the aft-Hartley
law.
While making few minor con-
cessions to the rights Of organized
labor, the Senate bill would retain
in law about IS Of the principal
Taft Hartley provisions. At the end
Of the week, however, there seem
ed little likelihood that the new
bill will ever become law. Taft
Hartley remains our basic labor
statute.
A few pro-labor stalwarts in the
House said that they want the
House Labor Committee to again
report out real TIL repeater. But
since there is no chance that the
Senate will reconsider it's votes,
most legislators and union repre-
sentatives here agree that the
House could make better use Of its
time by passing an improved min
imum wage law.
Furthermore, the union men not
ed, the House votes on the anti
union Wood bill this spring gives
labor an entirely adequate guide as
to whom to retire from public of
flee next year.
AFL President William Green
and President Philip Murray both
served notice last week that labor's
principal interest from here on out
is not in legislative manuevers
during this session of Congress.
While both AFL and CIO want the
81st Congress in its subsequent
sessions to get TIL off the back of
labor, their main emphasis will be
on putting labor's political leagues
into high gear for the 1850 cleo
tions.
Although union people are bit
terly disappointed over Taft's tri-
umph, a number of them recalled
that analyses of the November
1948 congressional elections pub
lished by LLPE-AFL and PACI
showed majority of the new Con-
gress as being Taft Hartley.
Intensified labor political action,
they declared, is the only answer.
Only seven out of "a southern
Senators voted for labor. Labor
plans to put a lot of work into
changing the composition of the
Democratic party in most southern
states.
Labor was pleased with the
votes of the men it supported in
the l948 elections. Only one Demo-
cratic Senator who had complete
labor backing in his campaign went

ings and the red crowd knows par
liamentary law.
1t is automatic that a half dozen
members who really know parlia-
mentary law can tangle the aver
age meeting and so confuse the
average presiding officer tn a t
neither the meeting nor the pre-
siding officer knows what really is
going on.
Law being what it is and proof
being hard as it is to get, the final
conclusion seems to be that unions
have an internal policing job thrust
upon them, because of conditions
beyond their control.
Conditions beyond their con-
troll" means this: The racketeer
came out of the swamp lands of
prohibition days; the communist
came out of the revolution in
Russia and the fantastic lie that
communism as practiced in Russia
means salvation for the workers
of all lands.
American unions can have no
safe relationship to either rackete-
ers or communists.
There need be no maniacal witch
hunting to keep on the trail of both
of these miserable types. There
needs be only watchfulness, to keep
them at least out of positions of
power and advantage. When they
break the laws Of the land, there
are the channels through which
prosecution becomes a public busi-
ness.
The late Calvin Coolidge once
wanted to know why unions didn't
get rid of the crooks. The answer
was the unions are neither prose-
cutors nor courts. Those are public
agencies, for protection of the pub
lie.
There are two kinds of law en-
forcement. One is enforcement of
union law and that must be done
by unions. Courts uphold that
right. The other is public law en-
forcement and that must be by
public agencies.
Union memberships alert to those
two facts can keep their unions
free and clear from the subversive
and destructive influences of both
types of saboteurs-and that is a
MUST if trade unionism is to re-
main undefiled and worthy of pub
lie respect.

wrong on the key votes. Allen
Frear ID, DELI. One of the Re-
publicans whom the unions sup
ported, Margaret Chase Smith Of
Maine, cast three wrong votes out
Of five.
Striking an average Of the key
votes, 36 Democrats and Repub-
licans voted for labor, while 33
Republicans and IS Democrats
voted for Taft and the NAM. Two
years ago the Senate passed the
Taft Hartley law over President
Truman's veto by 81 to II tally.
The Senate also rejected a move
by three conservative Republicans
Baldwin Comm, Flanders (Vt.)
and Saltonstall Mass to assert
the right Of workers in every state
TO union shop contracts. By a SO
to al roll call the Senate agreed
with Taft that state laws may bar
union security, even tho his own
statute sanctions it.
In the last minutes of the de-
bate, Vice President Alben Barkley
and Labor Committee Chairman
Ebert Thomas Cd, Utah) made
sure the Senate bill bears it's faith
er's name. They won consent for
changing the title Of the bill from
the Natl Labor Relations Act Of
1949 title reminiscent Of
"labor's Magma Carta," the Wag-
ner Act-to the Labor Manage
ment Relations Act of 1949-a re-
peat Of Taft Hartley's formal
name. It'll be known as the Taft
bill, Thomas pointed out.
No attempt was made to amend
Taft's omnibus set Of Taft Hart
ley reaffirmations and modifca-
tions. A bipartisan coalitions move
the previous week to modify the
first of the two major Taft propos-
ais failed when pro-union forces
split on the proposed compromises.

Average 1870 Rent Hike
Won By Big Landlords

Boston.-Owners of large apart
ment houses are more successful
than small landlords in getting
rent increases under the new fed
eral rent regulations, the first Of
fetal sampling revealed here.
Edgar j. Driscoll, regional hous-
ing expeditor, announced that in
creases of 5 to 30 percent have been
granted to II percent of the large
scale landlords whose applications
nave been acted on to date. Only
35 percent of the small owners
have won increases.
The report was based on 73 ap-
plications from the owners of large
apartment houses and 115 owners
of structures with or fewer apart@
ment units. About 1000 applica-
tions are on hand awaiting process
ing. Most of the 10000 application
forms issued to landlords have not
yet been returned.
