Tories Use Slow
Starvation On
Labor Department
BY BRADFORD V. CARTER

BY BRADFORD V. CARTER
There's more ways than one of
killing a government agency that
errs by siding with the working
men and women of the country,
and commits the sin of trying to
serve their interests. Tory Con-
gressmen in recent years have
found that there's special treat
ment for such agencies.
Quietly but thoroughly, they've
proceeded to kill such agencies by
cutting down on their funds. They
did it with the Farm Security ad-
ministration, which tried to protect
the interests of migrant workers
and small farmers, and scores of
others.
The most spectacular example,
though, is what has happened to
the Labor Department. For the
year that ended in mid1947, the
Department got $32 million from
Congress. In 1948, that was cut to
S22 million, and some bureaus were
slashed as much as $50 by the
80th Congress. In the current year,
the 80th Congress not only made
cuts, but took away from the De-
partment entirely two of its most
important functions-those carried
on by the Federal Mediation &
Cancellation Service, and the US
Employment Service. Total voted
in 1948 was $15 million.
Now, however, unionists might
assume that things would be better
for the Labor Department.
Quite the reverse is true. Even
the Budget Bureau recommended
tions which President Truman sent
up to Congress would only pro-
vide 81 million more than the 80th
Congress grudgingly voted last
year. And that increase is account
ed for in the funds proposed for
Bureau of Labor Statistics. Other
divisions would continue at their
present starvation level. The
Women's Bureau, never overly big,
had all of it's field Offices abolished
by the 80th Congress. This year,
even though it would only cost a
total of 100000 to $4,000 for some
very useful services for women
workers, the field Offices are still
shut tight under the Budget Bur-
eau proposal.
The Division of Labor Standards
still won't be able to resume it's
labor education services, just start
ed after the war, and nipped by
the 80th Congress. 1t will have
only a very limited safety educa-
tion program, reaching only the
top levels of management and
workers, rather than providing i'm
aginative, striking material to
bring information on safety stand
ards and safety education right
into every shop and mill in the

country.
The next steps on the budget
proposals are now being taken. In
accordance with Congress- proce-
dure, the House Appropriations
Committee has set up subcom-
mittee which is now holding ex-
tensive hearings at which Labor
Dept officials Justify" the funds,
and spokesmen of interested or
ganizations can also appear in
closed sessions. The secrecy is
justified by Congressman on the
grounds that public hearings would
complicate their delicate work. The
transcript of the hearings is made
public when the subcommittee re-
ports and the full committee pre-
sents the report to the House.,
Members of the subcommittee
now working over the Labor De-
partment fund bill are: Chairman
John E. Fogarty d., r. I), and
Democrats E. HI. Hedrick (W. Va.),
C. C. McGrath IN. W, and Re-
publicans Frank B. Keefe wis
and Errett P. Scrivener (Kans.).
Deadline for action is June 30th.
Between now and then, there will
have to be a lot of quiet .but eff
fective lobbying if the Labor De-
partment is to be rescued from its
present pitiful state.

Labor Extension
Bill Approved By
Senate Committee

Washington (LPA)-The bill to
set up Labor Extension Service in
the Labor Department was report
ed favorably by the Senate Labor
Committee last week, the day after
conclusion of the hearings on Taft
Hartley repeal.
S. 10, authored by Chairman Ell
bert Thomas Cd, Utah), would
authorize provision of services thru
state educational institutions to
wage earners. Glasses and other re-
sources would be made available to
unions, under program supervis-
ed by state advisory board.
The measure is expected to pass
the Senate, and then it will be up
to the House Labor Committee,
which has before it a bill identical
with the Senate one, written by
Rep. Thor C. Tollefson (R, Wash.)
There would be lever strikes
"when people sitting on opposite
sides of the table are equally we'll
equipped and well-informed," Toll
lefson said in radio forum broad
cast for west coast audiences last
week. He advocated quick passage
of his Labor Extension Service bill
as one step in this direction.
On the same discussion, AFL
Legislative Representative Walter
Mason told listeners that zone OF
the strongest arguments for the
passage of this act is the great op-
portunity l can see to give workers
the vision of, and the equipment
for, cooperation with management .
Every section of the labor move
ment supports and endorses the
bill, Chairman Hilda Smith of the
Natl Committee for Extension OF
Labor Education pointed out in
summing up the discussion.

Comment On
World Events

Ihe European recovery program
is brought home to every person
in the United States by figures of
the National Industrial Conference
Board, indicating that the program
is costing the American public
about $31 person, or roughly,
S113 for an average American
family"
American ala unGeT the program
averages about SIT person, mean
ing that aid ranges from 81 to STA
per capita in various countries, the
board found. Greece is the largest
beneficiary to date, the report said
her aid amounting to about 15 per-
cent of its national income at 1947
prices.
The report did not take into ac-
count the programs Influence on
particular areas, prices or other
aspects, of our economic system"
and it admitted that its data is far
from complete. "The calculations
may only be regarded as illustra-
tive of the magnitudes involved"
it said, rather than anything like
absolute figures"
With the program reaching into
every pocketbook in the United
States, it is of vital interest to
every American that the program
be administered as economically,
but at the same time as effectively,
as is possible under existing cir
cumstances. Providing the public
with full information on the pro-
gram will serve this objective.

China should receive no Ameri-
can aid whatsoever if Communists
are permitted to enter the govern
ment of that strife-torn nation, the
Free Trade Union Committee, AFL,
declared in vigorous and timely
statement. The committee, headed
by Matthew Woll, AFL vice pres
ident, urged President Truman and
Congress to call conference of all
democratic nations ''to work out
common program of action to stem
the tide of Communist tyranny and
to bolster the truly democratic
forces of Asia"
The Free Trade Union Commit
tee warned that American aid to
coalition government that included
Communists would be disasterous.
"The Communists in China, like the
Communists elsewhere" the COM
mittee warned, "are nothing but
tools and spies of the Soviets."
AFL views on China and the
United States are further set forth |
in an American Federationist edit
orial by William Green, which
strongly emphasizes aid to enable
China to improve it's industry and
Declaring the fall of China to
the Communists would be world
wide calamity" the Federationist
says that "a dark cloud obscures
the future" of that nation and con-
tinues:
"Our program of economic aid to
China, though limited, was design
ed to begin industrial and rural re-
with engineering as
sistance in reconstructing and
equipping industries and agricul-
,ural experts to demonstrate scien-
5ific methods to improve seeds,
,attle, poultry and first practices
n soil cultivation. Chinese educa-
,ors were working with our ex-
)ertS.
"We hope the tide of Communist
can be localized China is
he most densely populated coun-
ry in the world where, as one re-
porter says, Nothing is easy, but
learly everything is possible With +
obstructive assistance China may
'et adjust its farming to scientific
and thus improve food
nd living for all, adapting its in
ustries to modern methods"
