MAY 7. 1949

BUSINESS ACTIVITY and the
general level of prices, most econ
omists believe, will continue to de-
cline at a moderate rate through the
rest of 1949.
Broadly, a further drop of 5 to 7
percent, with no serious SNOWFALL
ing, is expected. Industrial produc-
ton is already down about 7 per-
cent from the record peak of last
November. Backlogs of untitled
orders and volume of new orders
are still shrinking, although, in the
aggregate, they are off only moder-
ateiy from their postwar peaks.
Prices received by farmers in
April averaged Is percent under the
postwar high in January, 1948. After
World war l, prices reached their
peak in May, 1920. They dropped So
percent in the next Is months to
the 1921 low, then began an irregu-
lar recovery which continued until
August, 1925.
A more gradual and much smaller
adjustment continued over a longer
period appears probable this time.
After the readjustment is completed,
farmers probably can count on rea-
sonably good times for several years.
CATTLE probably can be safely
held back on price breaks, but close
selling, especially of the lower
grades, on firm spots appears ad-
visable for the nearby future. Prices
for good and choice cattle during
some later months in 1949 probably
will be higher than in June, but any
advance is likely to be small and to
start later than usual.
Supplies of low grade cattle usu-
ally begin to increase in June from
the movement of early southern
grassers, but the increase is likely
to be small until August unless dry
weather in some of the range states
forces selling. Early grassers are
likely to bring the highest prices
this year due to increasing pork sup
plies next fall and decreasing de-
mand, while the later grassers will
have made greater gains in weight.
HOG producers should cut down
sales in late May and early June,
but should be careful not to carry
hogs to excessive weights. The peak
of the run of fall pigs usually &C.
ours about that time and prices are
likely to be carried to a new low
for the season, although it probably
will not be much under the Late
April low point.
Although it is likely to be rather
feeble, some recovery in prices is t<
be expected in late June and July.

his union had been so prosecuted

was to their mutual advantage, and

Challenges ANA
To Discussion On
Health Insurance

Washington (LPA) = Rep. An
drew j. Biemiller d., Wis.,, one of
labor's favorite congressman, has
publicly challenged the American
Medical Assn to lift its "iron cur
tain of censorship" and permit an
open discussion of both sides of
the national health insurance issue.
Rep. Biemiller, in a speech here
last week, made his challenge dir
ectly to DR.. Morris Fishbein, editor
of the ANA Journal, and often re-
ferred to as the spokesman for or
ganized medicine. This was Biemil-
ler's statement:
81 would like to address request
publicly to DIR. Morris Fishbein. /
ask him in the public interest and
in fairness to an ever-growing num-
Der of responsible members of the
ANA who favor national health in
surance to open the pages of the
Journal to a fair presentation of
both sides of that issue.
"No matter how the picture is
viewed" Biemiller added, "we are
faced with the dismal economic
fact that the price of medicine is
beyond the reach of most Amer
leans. AS long as we delay or COM
promise we shall be condemning to
death each day some 900 persons
whom modern medicine has the
service, the skill, but not the econ
omic power to save under our pre-
sent system"
Citing Federal Security Admins
traitor Ewing's estimate that 1885,
900 persons die needlessly every
year, Biemiller said, think Of
that. Each year we lose a Roch-
ester, N. Y, or a Denver, Colo, or
a Louisville, Ky. What frighten-
ing and needless waste of human
life"

AFL Calls On
Canadian Labor
To Gust Reds

Miami ILNS).-The American
Federation of Labor executive
council, ending its winter meeting
here, called on every AFL union
with members in Canada to take
l"vigorous action to eliminate every
vestige of Communist influence and
control in Canadian labor unions.
The council declared that Com
munists in Canadian unions "pre-
sent a shocking picture" and
added:
"We cannot and will not COM
promise with the Communists,
whose number one objective both in
the United States and in Canada
is the destruction of movements
such as ours"
Two immediate detectives of the
AFL were specified as follows:
"We denounce without reserva-
tion the undemocratic action of the
officers of the Trades and Labor
Congress in suspending the Broth
erhood of Railway Clerks without
trial or hearing for their activities
in support of an AFL anti-Com-
munist affiliate (the seafarers)
which is engaged in struggle with
a Communist dominated (seamen's)
union affiliated with the Trades
and Labor Congress.
"While this suspension has been
lifted, we urge that all reference
to it be expunged from the records
of the Trades and Labor Congress,
and that constitutional safeguards
be enacted to prevent a repetition
Of this undemocratic action"
The council said repeal of the
Taft Hartley act and re-enactment
of the Wagner Act is its main
single target for congressional
action. But it said it also wants
broadened social security, health
and unemployment insurance, ade-
quate national defense and natural
resources development legislation,
and housing measures. Return of
the Federal Cancellation and Medi-
alton Service to the Department of
Labor was favored.
AFL President William Green
said negotiations continuing
through most of the meeting here
to restore the international Asso-
:iation of Machinists to AFL mem
oership had been unsuccessful.
The next council meeting will be
leld at Cleveland beginning May 16
n conjunction with the Cleveland
Union Industries Show, May 1922.

Rails Slash Jobs
w hiIe Boasting
Highest Profits

Chicago (LPA) - High profits
and high employment don't neces-
sarily go together-at least not on
the railroads. That's what at least
$4,000 workers on the "Iron
Horse" have discovered. They're
the number who have been slashed
from the rolls during the past few
months.
On the one hand, the Associa-
tion of American Railroads reveal
ed that, during 1948, the railroads
amassed $711, 100000 in net in
come, a jump of 428o over 1947,
and one of the highest profit totals
in the history of the rails.
Yet many of the railroads have
embarked ON a layoff spree. The
New York Central trimmed its
rolls by 8,10O. Many others cut off
thousands, and the Railroad Re-
tirement Board estimated that un-
employment on the rails had pass
ed the $4,000 mark, about 64o of
overall employment. Chiefs of the
Railroad Brotherhoods questioned
the justification for the layoffs-
but, nonetheless, they seized upon
the growing unemployment to
their own advantage. They demand
ed that the railroads go on a 40
hour week now.
\ In the case Of 16 of the Broth
erhoods, representing million
Incorporating" railmen - those
not engaged in direct train opera
tion-a Presidential Fact-Finding
Board recently recommended a re-
duction Of the work week from 48
to 40 hours, without any cut in 49,
hour earnings-but not to become
effective until next September.
The board held that the rail-
roads needed time to adjust them
selves to the shorter week, and
lacked the manpower to apply it
now. The layoffs, however, dis
prove that argument, union lead
ers said.
"The layoffs show this would be
the ideal time to inaugurate the
40-hour week." declared President
G. f. Leighty of the Railroad Tele-
who is also spokesman
for the 16 unions in their current |
wage movement. "The railroads
now have the men available to go
on a shorter week"
Meanwhile, another union on the
rails-the CIO United Railroad |
a unit of the Industrial
Union of Marine & Shipbuilding
Workers-came out with a demand
for a congressional investigation of
5he layoffs.
