Denounces Plea
For State Police
To Break Strike

Detroit (LPA)-Organized labor
in Michigan has rallied against an
attempt of the Ispheming City
Council to drag in state police to
break strike of the Int'l Ladies
Garment Workers-AFL at the Cos
sard Company in Ispheming. The
walkout was called to win recogni-
ton as bargaining agency.
The strike has been without vio-
lence, yet the Ispheming Getty
fathers" at the demand of the
local Chamber of Commerce, put
in a call for state police.
The move was denounced by
Barney Hopkins, secretary-treasur-
er, in letter to Governor G. Men
nen Williams. He charged that
Ispheming authorities are backing
the company 'in an attempt to
break the strikers by having state
police summoned in for the purpose
of instigating a back to work
movement"
He declared the state should not
intervene except when necessary to
keep law and order" or to "ef-
fectuate a peaceful settlement of
the strike"

the publication issued by the ArL
which is printed on onion skin
paper in order that the worker if
caught reading such literature, can
easily dispose of paper by chewiL =
it up and destroying all evidence:
So tense is the situation in Russia
today, the League has to resort to
underground methods to carry on
their work, he added.
Immediately following the adj
dress of Mr.. Woll, the delegates in
convention passed a resolution by
a unanimous vote, to contribute
$4,000 in behalf of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters
to carry on this great work.
In accepting the donation in be-
half of the Labor League for
Human Rights, Mr.. Woll was deep
ly touched by the action of the
delegates and stated the potters
have always shown the true trade
spirit of unionism, by lending their
aid to any worthy cause.

making charges against Duffy and
Jordan which he could not sub
stantiate. The delegates declared
these two members guilty of prac-
tices and conduct that had been
expressly prohibited in resolution
adopted in the 1947 convention.
They also voted to impose the
same ten year restrictions as to
privileges that had been imposed
against Finlay and his group. At
this stage of the proceedings Cros-
sen ask the delegates why he was
being dealt the same severity that
had been meted out to six members
who had been found guilty of much
more malicious conduct.
Crossen's attitude and words
had note of regret for what he
had been guilty of. President Duffy
Immediately made a plea for this
member and ask reconsideration of
the penalty. Further questioning of
Crossen brought from him express
sions of keen desire to work for
the best interest of the Brother
hood. Where upon motion for re-
consideration of the penalty was
adopted, followed by motion to
fine both Crossen and Hammond
$4,000 An amendment was offered
in view of Crossen's changed atti-
tude, that he be placed on proba-
ton for four years without any
denial of his full privileges as a
member. Adoption of the motion,
as amended, left Hammond with
$4,000 fine, with the privilege of
further hearing before the Execu
tive Board, affording him the op-
portunity of the same four year
probationary period as Crossen, if
he evidences the same disposition
as to proper conduct in the future.
1t can be left to the delegates as
to the fairness with which the trial
was conducted and to the complete
opportunity every individual in
the convention had to make
charges, testify or make any state
ment during the trial.

New Victory
(Corfinned From Page One)

CIO unions and Railroad Brother
hoods, celebrated the saving of the
Sentinel at big "free press" rally
on July a, attended by thousands
from all over the area. The mort
gage and notes were burned at the
celebration.
The rally also hailed the triumph
in the referendum vote. That vote
was followed by disappearance of
all scabs in the power and light
plant, and by a return of the strik-
ers. They're now negotiating for
an agreement.
President A. F. Whitney of the
Railroad Trainmen, chief speaker
at the July a event, declared that
"Flora was the best place in the
world to celebrate independence
Day" because of the triumph over
forces seeking to gag the press.
Whitney declared that Crowder
chad performed a service to the
cause of American freedom and a
free press that is as noble and
courageous as tn a illustrious
newspaper editor of pre-Revolu-
tionary days, John Peter Zenger,
who defied the British crown to
bring the truth to the colonists."
Destroy the liberty that has
been the genius of our institutions
and the hope of the world, then all
our wealth and greatness will pass
away, and leave not trace be-
hind," Whitney said.

Decisions On Tdft- Hartley
Next Moves Due This Week

Washington (LPA) - Altho no
one questions the impossibility of
repeating the Taft-Hartley law. at
this session of Congress, both
Democratic and Republican lead
ers are expected to decide this
week whether or not to raise the
issue again in the House.
President Truman told a press
conference last week that he'd like
the House to make another stab at
writing a good law. But, he added,
the decision is up to the Democratic
Congressional leaders.
Sen. Robert A. Taft Or. Ohio),
meanwhile, has been talking to
House Republican chiefs, trying to
persuade them to pass his Senate
bill and send it to the President. If
this were done President Truman
would write strong veto message
it is assumed, and pro-union forces
in Congress have more than enough
votes to sustain him. -
Those Democratic members Of
Congress who, like President Tru-
man, want the House to pass a new
pro-labor bill, concede that it
wouldn't have a chance in the Sen
ate.
So, regardless of what tactics
labor's friends or foes settle upon
the Taft-Hartley law will still be
with us.
So far Taft hasn't scored too
well in his attempt to sell House
GOPers his proposals. Altho de-
nounced by AFL, CIO and unaffil-
lated unions as little better than
the Taft Hartley law, the Taft bill
is not quite anti-labor enough to
suit some Of the House Tories.
Rep. Samuel X. Mcconnell OR,
Pa, ranking Republican member
of the House Labor Committee, for
example declared last week that he
prefers the Wood bill-the vicious
measure the House passed this
spring by three votes, and then
sent back to committee-to Taft's
proposals.
He favors the Wood bill, McCon-
nell said, because it doesn't permit
the President to seize struck plants
leaving the injunction proviso as
the only approach to Intervention
in national emergency strikes
and because it leaves NLRB Gen
eral Counsel Robert Denham free
to snipe at labor regardless of the
policies of the five-man NLRB.
AFL President William Green
indicated last week that the per-
sisting anti-unionism of the Repub-
licans and southern Democrats
makes it waste of time, in his
opinion, to bring a TIL repeater
onto the floor Of the House again
this session.
The main effort of both great
federations, and of major unaf-
filiated unions, is being directed
towards increasing labor's political
effectiveness for the 1850 drive to
retire the Taft-Hartleyites from
Congress.

Imports Of

its products to this country. Its
goods, he stated, will come into the
United States free of duty.
Wages in Puerto Rico are very
low in comparison with the Ameri-
can standard. Skilled workers
there are paid 40c per hour, com
mon labor 30c per hour. This low
wage and duty free privilege will
practically prohibit competition by
American manufacturers and work
ers.
Puerto Rican ware will be sold in
this country under the trade name
'Iroquois", and it behooves friends
of labor and all Americans to be
on the lookout for the goods and
refrain from purchasing the pro-
duct.

Cooperative Movement
Now On Trial In Senate

Washington LPA)-John Car
sons nomination to the Federal
Trade Commission, widely sup
ported by labor and liberal groups,
became involved this week in a
full-fledged Senate investigation of
fantastic charges that the cooper
ative movement for which he has
been working is subversive and
Gigantic plan of world political
and economic conquest"
The Senate Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee consid-
ering Carson's nomination recalled
Carson and Jerry Voorhis, Secre-
Treasurer of the Cooperative
League of the U. s., for what
Chairman Edwin C. Johnson Cd,
COLI called thorough investiga-
tion of the league
The investigation was based on
charges filed with the Committee
by Pearson Linn, a farmer of
Bucyrus, Ohio, who said he was
testifying as an individual, but ap-
peared with 7000-word statement
carefully Autographed and widely
distributed. Linn said the coopera-
tive movement was "veritable
economic octopus" controlled by
the International Cooperative Alli-
ance, most of whose members
"come from Central Europe or
Communistic Russia"
He based much of his charge on
a book written by DR.. James P.
Warbasee, a former President of
the Cooperative League, and dis
tributed by that organization which
pictured the world as comparatively
organized into some kind of a uto-
plan society in which cooperatives
would replace industrial corpora
tions and even the government.
Senators with a tendency to see
reds under every bed took Linn's
charges seriously. Senators Brick
er Or, Ohio) called DR.. Warbasee's
pTODOSdlS SuDNCISlNt anu dlODB
with Senator Mcfarland Cd, Ariz.)
demanded an investigation Of them.
As the case against Carson be-
came a case against cooperative,
there was increasing evidence that
the opposition to the nomination
was being engineered by the Ma
tional Tax Equality Association,
an industry-supported lobby that
has long campaigned against CO.
operatives. Linn has testified in
the past with witnesses from that
group, and the chief witness in
the present hearing was Elton
Kile, who testified as President of
the Natl Associated Businessmen,
but who has appeared in the past
for the tax equity association.
Senator Magnuson Cd, Wash.) J, |
who is presiding at the hearings,
placed in evidence data from the
NTEA's lobby report showing that
a fifth of its big contributors were
subsidiaries of Electric Bond &
Share Corporation, one of the
major utilities. Recognizing that
the attack on Carson had become
an attack on the whole cooperative
movement, Magnuson also filed
statements supporting cooperatives
from labor, liberal, and church
leaders.
Labor and liberal spokesman raj
lied to Carson's support in last
weeks hearings. Among those
testifying for him were Nelson
Cruikshank, of the American Fed |

Mrs. Dorsey has managed Con-
stitution Hall recitals by leading
concert stars every winter since the
death of her aunt, Mrs. Katie Will
Son-Greene, pioneer Washington

Mrs. Dorsey's first recital In the

cessive seasons. Rubinstein, Heifetz,
Kreisler, Rachmaninoff. Iturbi, Pom
selle, Pons, Sayao, Flagstad-these
are q few of the names that have
appeared on her programs.
Bringing such talent to the WASH
ington public has given her much
pleasure, Mrs. Dorsey said last night.
But it has also had its headaches.
Il remember one awful experience
with Kfeisler-always the most be-
loved of all the artists-about seven
years ago." she recalled. He was
delayed on a concert night in a
Philadelphia railroE yard. The
audience waited. We brought local
performers to the hall. People
smoked, and wandered around.
Finally, sat II pm, a police escort
brought Mr.. Kreisler from his train.
