SOIL TESTS SHOW

Wide variation in lime and

County soils has been noted as a
result of several soil samples re-

The variation, Fletcher points

The Russian railway administra-
tion has now been forced to admit
defeat by getting its Communist
puppets to urge" it to grant the
demands Of the strikers for pay
ment in western marks. In this
way, it hopes to settle the strike
by doing a flavor" for its friends,
instead Of admitting that it is
yielding to the strikers.
The railway workers, however,
have made it clear that they will
not be satisfied with anything less
than full recognition of their union
and reinstatement Of the workers
Soviet authorities have fired dur
ing the past year for political rea-
sons. Meanwhile, by their courage
and solidarity they have not only
stopped the S-Bahn and tied up
the railway system Of the Soviet
zone; they have also put the fin
ishing touches on the myth that
Communists are part Of the labor
movement and the Soviet Union is
workers state.

Dunish Unions
Quit The WFTU

Copenhagen (LPA)-The Danish
Federation Of Trade Unions, at its
regular annual conference this
week, voted by an overwhelming
majority to leave the World Fed
GRAFTON of Trade Unions. Only a
tiny handful Of Communist dele
gates opposed the action which was
recommended by the federation's
executive committee.
Complete Communist control of
the WFTU, since British, Ameri-
can and Dutch affiliates withdrew,
and the WFTU's opposition to the
Marshall plan for European re-
covery were the principal reasons
the Danish unionists gave. The
congress voted too that none Of its
member unions may join any of
the trade departments that the
WFTU is trying to set up.
A widespread desire for a new
democratic federation Of world
labor was expressed. The congress
authorized its executive committee
to work in conjunction with other
Scandinavian unions in contracting
free trade unions thruout the world
about the establishment Of such a
body.

Berlin RdilwdY Strikers
Destroy Russidn Myth

New York (LPA)-Soviet pres
tige in Germany, badly damaged by
the successful resistance Of the
people Of Berlin to the Russian
blockade, reached a new low last
week, when 10000 Berlin railway
workers quit their jobs on the Rus
sian-controIled Berlin S-Bahn. This
elevated railway, which supplies
local service in Berlin, is also an
integral part Of the rail network Of
eastern Germany.
The strike took the Russian auth
critics by surprise; they were not
accustomed TO strikes in the work
ers fatherland," and besides, their
railway administration had reco-
gnized only Communist-contro
led company union. But they for
got that the workers Of western
Berlin had thrown off the Commun-
ist yoke and set up their own inde-
pendent trade union organization,
the UGO, in the spring of 1913.
The immediate cause Of the pre-
sent strike is a demand that rail
workers living in western Berlin
be paid in west German marks in
stead of east German marks
which have only 25R of the pur-
chasing power of the western cur
rency.
They demanded that the S-Bahn
pay them in western marks, and
raise the money TO do this by
charging western marks for fares
paid at stations in the western part
of the city. Because this meant re-
cognizing the western mark off
cially, thing they had always re-
fused to do, the Russians rejected
this demand, and the workers were
forced to strike.
At first the Soviet authorities
attempted to break the strike by
bringing in strikebreakers and rail
way police from the eastern zone.
In spite of the danger that they
knew they would face when they
returned home, many non-Commun-
ist workers whom the Russians
had brought in without letting
them know that there was strike
refused to scab when they found
out what the situation was. Others,
mostly Communists, carried out
their orders.
When the strikers attempted to
occupy the stations to prevent this,
pitched battles took place between
them and the armed Soviet rail-
way police. Although large num-
bers of strikers were shot and two
killed, they succeeded in seizing
control of most of the stations after
three days of bloody fighting. Fin
ally, the western sector police were
forced to take over the stations to
prevent further fighting and to
permit the Russian-c on trolle e d

DiGiorgia Corp.
Sues Station For
Showing Tv Film

Los Angeles (LPA)-DiGiorgio
Fruit Corp. has filed 100000
libel suit against television sta
ton here for showing a movie
about the strike of Natl Farm
Labor Union-AFL at the DiGiorgic
ranch near Bakersfield, Calf.
The picture, made nearly a yeai
and half ago by the AFL Holly
wood Film Council, is called "Pov-
erty in the Valley of Plenty" and
was filmed right at the farm, show
ing actual living conditions there.
The company's libel suit, against
station KTLA and Paramount Tele-
vision Products Inc, charges that
the film falsely represents condi-
tions on the farm by declaring that
DiGiorgio has reduced his employees
"to the status of serfs and charged
them $26 a month for squalid di,
lapidated living quarters" Actual
ly, according to the company
workers at the farm are provided
with adequate homes with lawns
and gardens at a charge of only So
a month"
Union officials said that the film
was "made and checked with great
care to legal details" so that the
fruit corporation probably hasn't
got much of a legal case. However,
the lawsuit may discourage other
television stations which might
want to show the film.
Farm union leaders said that
soaring off other TV stations might
be the real purpose of the suit.
The petition filed by the company
asked 100000 actual damages"
and 100000 exemplary dam
ages" Exemplary means setting
an example for others.
NFLU has been on strike at the
ranch for more than two and half
years. One of the charges made in
the film is that DiGiorgio interests
helped smuggle Mexican nationals
across the border in violation of
US law, paying so much head for
cheap labor.
Corporation wyers complain
that the TV broadcast Exposed the
DiGiorgio concern to hate, con-
tempt and ridicule."

FEC Lifts Ban On
Radio Editorials

Washington (LPA) = After al
eight-year fight by the Nationa
Assn of Broadcasters, the Fedora
Communications Commission has
reversed a decision banning radio
editorials. Owners of big broad
casting stations may now use the
airways to express their own views
on political, economic, and other
controversial issues.
During long hearings on the sub
ject, labor witnesses from both
AFL and CIO had bitterly fought
the idea of giving private owners
the privilege of using the limited
number of public broadcasting
channels in such a way. Unions
that own radio stations themselves
testified before the FEC that they
did not want to use such outlets to
express their own views, but would
rather give time for public service
programs presenting both sides OF
controversial questions.
The ruling handed down by four
FEC commissioners said that the
editorial rights is being given "only
in so far as it is exercised in con-
formity with the paramount right
of the public to hear reasonably
balanced presentation of all res
ponsible viewpoints on particular
issues" No formula for presenta-
ton was offered.
FEC Chairman Wayne Coy and
Commissioner Paul Walker, Dem
ocrat, are out Of the country and,
consequently, did not participate in
the decision. Commissioner Frieda
Hennock, only woman member, dis
sented strongly. The ban against
editorials must be kept, she argued,
until there is some method of polio
ing and enforcing the requirements
for impartiality.

Chemical Group
Threaten Strike
At Atom Plant

Oak Ridge, Tenn. LPA)-More
than 1000 members of Gas, Coke a
Chemical Workers have announced
they will strike the biggest atomic
plant here this week unless Car
bide & Carbon Chemical Corp.
meets their contract demands.
Strike authorization was voted by
the chemical workers national of
ficers in Washington last week.
Though negotiations with the
company have been going on since
April 28, Carbide has refused to
bulge on its offer of six-cent
wage cut, original response to the
unions request for a 15c raise. A
spokesman for the company told
LPA, shortly after contract talks
had started, that "a strike at the
plant would not threaten national
security"
An AFL strike threat at one of
the other Oak Ridge plants last
year was headed off when Pres
ident Truman asked for an 80-day
injunction under the Taft-Hartley
act. Since then a special commit
tee headed by former WLB chair
man William H. Davis has suggest
ed special panel set-up to deal
with atomic strike threats. Tru-
man last month appointed Davis to
head such a panel. 1t may now be
tried out.
