and the emerging of the so-called pattern
all over the country.
On the other hand there are numerous
increases, Toledo unions sought and in
most cases gained these pattern increases,
the same as millions of workers have done.
Instances where local firms were not re-
ouired to meet the full pattern in their
wage settlements. These exceptions were
made whenever, through sincere collective
bargaining, firms were able to prove that
financially they could not grant the unions
demands.
Is this what The Blade calls radical
experimentation"

New Monopoly Probe
Has Power To Act
ToCurb Growing Evil
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON

WASHINGTON (LPA) - What may turn
out TO be the most important Congressional
investigation In a decade is getting under way
this week. II is the investigation OF monopoly
by the Celler Committe of the House - the
first investigating committee in many years
that has had authority 10 legslate on the prob
lem OF monopoly
There have been many such Investigations
In the past 10 years-begnning with the IA
nous TNEC inquiry under Sen Joseph c.
OMshoney in 1880 All of these committees
reported the same thing--that monopoly was
threatening our American system of free COM
petitive enterprise which made our country
the greatest in the world
Similar warnings were submitted TO the
Celler committee in preliminary hearings dur
ing the summer. But despite all these warn
ings-accompanied by similar ones from sew
ersl recent presidents and by regulatory COM
missions-Congress has failed TO act In fact,
It has diregarded these warnings and lifted
or eased the monopoly restrictions on such
great fields OF enterprise as transportation and
insurance
But the Celler Committee has authority

investigating committees ~ to do something
about II. This committee headed by Rep
Emanuel Celler 3D., ~ Y)-is a subcom-
mittee of the House judiciary Committee

In past years initiated legislation easing the
restrictions on monopoly
The Celler committee is dominated by con-
servatives But even conservatives can some-
times be influenced by overwhelming evil
dence. And the evidence on monopoly is pretty
overwhelming-so much so that on Congress

ELEVENTH convention of
~ of the CIO, which opened
in Cleveland October 81, was
scheduled to meet problem of
communist infiltration once
and for all. This column was
written just before convention
opened; but it doesn't take
too much experience with the
crystal ball to see what's
ahead.
President Phil Murray, in
67-page report to the concen-
ton, took off his verbal gloves
and really gave it" to left wing
leaders of about dozen CIO
unions. It's likely convention
will say hearty AYE" to Muir
ray recommendations.
Il
"A small but noisy clique
of union officials has followed
a policy of harassment, of op-
position and of obstruction to
the general and specific aims
of our democratic labor move
ment," Murray declared, early
In his report.
There's nothing wrong with
disagreement within CLOS
union family-so long as it's a
disagreement among unions
which support basic philoso-
phies of CIO and our dem
ocratic system.
But, Murray said bluntly,
that's not case with left wing
unions. II have examined at
great length, the demands of
the small group within the
CIO who adhere to the prog
ram of the Communist Party
The Communist program
for American labor Is a pro-
gram of destruction It in
vites defeat for labor, rupture
of our organizations, failure Of
attainment of even our most
modest goals.
More than that, the pro-
gram of the left wing would
enslave us to the aims and as
pirations of party whose in
terests are not those of Ameri-
can labor but are directed to-
ward the establishment of
retrogressive dictatorship in
our life.

Surely, no one-not even The Blade

Chief Question Before
Anti-Red Pacific Union
BY the Associoted Press

BAGUIO. Philippines, July 12.-
The Philippines, Nationalist China
and South Korea got behind the
proposed Pacific front against
Communism today.
The big question was: Will the
United States come in?
The Philippines and Nationalist
China initiated the Pacific Union
in three-day conference between
President Elpidio Quirino and
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
which ended today.
Little South Korea, with Com
munist North Korean government
to think about. quickly approved
the idea. Korea stands ready to
join." President Syngman Rhee
said in Seoul.
The United States will be asked
to line up with countries of the
Far Pacific in a political and eco
nomic-but not military-alliance
Mr.. Quirino made it clear a mil
itary pact was not contemplated
Generalissimo Chang, in high
spirits and SMILING broadly, left
by plane for his Formosa retreat.
Six Philippine fighters flew escort
for the transport carrying his big
party.
The generalissimo's advisers
felt they had done well-gained
Philippine adherence and a tacit
promise not to recognize the new
Communist regime in China.

Reports from Red Peiping said

Some Shanghai shippers pre-

Tientsin is harder to blockade be-
