Labor Lawyers
Blast Taft TIL


WASHINGTON (LPA
Expert lawyers who work for
the American labor movement
were unanimous in their con-
demnation last week of latest
proposals by Sen. Robert A. Taft
tR., Ohio to keep the Taft Hart
ley law in operation.
I'VE have made a careful le-
gal analysis of Sen. Taft's pro-
posals, taking into considera-
ton the experience of our
clients under the Taft-Hartley
law. The purported concessions
contained in Sen. Taft's propos-
ais are insubstantial in charac-
ter, and would not basically al
ter the TIL law" they conclud-
ed.
Among the attorneys who
signed the statement-and who
are working together on a
pamphlet exposing the Taft
scheme-are:
AFL General Counsel Herbert
Thatcher: CIO General Counsel
Arthur Goldberg; Alan Perl,
general counsel for the Int'l AS
sociation of Machinists; Morris
Glushien, general counsel for
the Int'l Ladies Garment Work
ers Union-AFL; Jerome A.
Cooper. counsel for the CIO

Pay
AS Earnings
Must Report Each
Work Week Period

COLUMBUS, Ohio-Vacation
pay is considered earnings and a
period of paid vacation is con-
sidered period of employment
under the Ohio Unemployment
Compensation Law, BUG Ad-
ministrator Frank j. Collopy
stated today.
Workers filing claims for un-
employment benefits while on
vacation due to a plant shut
down must report their pay for
each week of the vacation pc
riod. TIE be eligible for benefits,
they must also show that their
weekly vacation pay is less than
the weekly benefit amount to
which they would be entitled if
unemployed.
Collopy said that employers
whose plants shut down for a
vacation period have been re-
quested to give each of their
workers who was not being laid
off indefinitely slip of paper
carrying pertinent information
relative to the vacation period.
He also pointed out that employ
ers we're required to provide a
'1ow earnings report for those
of their workers drawing less
than $21 a week in vacation
pay.
Letters explaining vacation
pay regulations-as they affect
both workers and employers
have been mailed to Labor and
Employer organizations through
out the state as we'll as directly
to employers of 200 or more

this week.
To remedy this, and to stop
the "schocking total of indus
trial d e a t h S and injuries"
each year. Burke has intro
duced a bill which would bring
hazardous industries under
uniform federal safety and
health code and under uniform
enforcement. He is also asking
the House Labor Committee to
make a special investigation OF
workmen's compensation.
Acts For Workers
Burke, himself former auto
plant worker, said sit is high
time that we act to take works
lives. workers health, and work
ers' disability payments out OF
competition between plant and
plant, industry and industry,
state and state. Fair competi'
ton requires this action"
The proposed plan would, be-
sides setting up a Bureau OF Ac-
cident Prevention to administer
a code for industrial health and
safety standards, allow the Sec
retary of Labor to contract out
to state. and local agencies the
enforcement work. But" Burke
points out, "the standards in
these codes shall be uniform
and their enforcement would be
Labor Impatient
Labor is impatient with the
uneven progress of improving
state laws and with the unfair
competition argument that meets
every attempt to improve stand
ards state by state" the Ohio
told the House.
This does not mean that labor,
conscientious employers and
other citizens of good will are
going to relax their efforts to
get improvements in state laws,
standards and enforcement"
Burke added, II think 1t is
of tragic significance that while
this Congress has spent many
hundreds of man-years in the
legislation relating to strikes and
consideration of so-called labor
disputes, it has spent
almost no time on the problem
of reducing the shocking total
of industrial deaths and injuries
each year, bring tragedy
and hardship into millions of
homes, and, speaking
in cold-blooded economic terms,
reduce our industrial production
far more than it is reduced by
strikes"

Despite the Ford speedup

olan initiated by the Chicago
in clues to unsolved Chicago
murders.
The plan makes it possible
for a person having inpor-
tant information about the
crimes to turn that information
over to the union and collect
reward money without revealing
his identity to the union or to
the police, and without having
his name printed, spoken or
otherwise publicized.
The UAW-CIO will pay $780,
600 for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of the
person or persons who shot Wal
ter p Reuther on April 20, 1943
and Victor Reuther on May "a,
1949, or leading to the arrest
and conviction of any person
or persons for having procured,
counselled, aided or abetted in
either or both shootings.
Additional $4,000
In addition the UAW-CIO will
pay $4,000 for information
which leads to any perosn being
held for trial after preliminary
examination or waiver of ex-
animation on a charge of COM
plicity as principal or accessory
in either shooting. The right
to this reward or any part of it
shall not depend on conviction.
This is how the plan works:
Any person having informa-
ton that would lead to the ar
rest and conviction of those re-
sponsible for, or in any way con-
nected with, the shooting of
either or both the Reuther broth
ers, SHOULD type or print his in
formation on plain white paper.
He should give all the facts he
knows-names, places and times
stated as accurately as possible.
Print Number
On the last page. he should
print or type number, chosen
at random, of not less than six
figures. such as 123456.
He should NOT sign his name.
He should tear off a corner
of that same page - not in a
straight line but a curved or
jagged line.
He should put the same num-
Der in the same way on the cor
ner piece he has torn off. He
should put this piece of paper
in a safe place.
Mailing Address
Then he should mail his infor-
mation-in a plain envelopeA-
to the following address:
UAW-CIO
Post Office Box 1714
Detroit 81, Michigan
All such information received
by the UAW-CIO will be checked
by the proper authorities.
If any such information thus
received makes the informant
eligible for reward money, the
UAW-CIO will make public
through the press and radio the
number printed on the letter
containing the information.
The person who used that
number should then take the
corner piece of paper he has
torn off to his lawyer who will
act as his representative.
At the time the UAW-C1O
publicizes the number, it will
also publicize directions to the
informant's lawyer.
The lawyer should present
the torn piece of paper CORES
ponding, and if the torn edges
fit, the lawyer will be given the
reward money in bills of small
denomination which he can then
turn over to the informant as
arranged between them.
Thus if the informant has
kept his own counsel, only one
person in the world-nis lawyer
will know his identity in this
connection.
Any reward money paid
through this method will be sub
iect to the conditions outlined
in the UAW- CLOS reward offer.

0ver-Emphasized,
Eisenhower SAYS
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower. addressing
group of Scottish Americans.
said last night that too much
emphasis is. being placed on per-
sonal security at the expense of
individual Liberty.
The Columbia University presi-
dent Endorsed the doctrine of
Thomas jefferson that the best
government is the one which gov
ems least.
LAS we face our problems today
and consider their nature" he
said, I'VE measure the severity of
those problems with the degree
that we have drifted away from
the simple principles with which
we began.
1--WE can recognize the degree
we have changed when the def1ni-
ton of a liberal is a man in Wash
ington who wants to play the
Almighty with our money,
Comments on Scottish Thrift.
Addressing 1,100 members and
guests of the st. Andrews Society
of New York State at its 1880
annual banquet. Gen. Eisenhower
commented on the characteristic
thrift and independence of the
| Scots. Then he said:
I'VE seek an illusory thing
called security. I wonder how
many Scotsmen had the word
security in their adventure"
during their fight for freedom?
Speaking Of the many white
crosses he has seen in different
parts of the world, he said:
THE men under those crosses
were there because they believed
there was something more than
merely assuring themselves that
they weren't going to be hungry
at the age Of Ct.
They believed that man should
carve his own future for himself
and his family, economically and
every other way"
Condemns Ideas of Security.
This belief, he declared, was
Jefferson's idea Of liberalism.
Gen. Eisenhower condemned any
idea Of security "in the sense that
we may live in slothful Incidence
and ease"
I'VE have become too accus-
toned to what we call luxuries,"
he said.
1--WE will not live as the slaves
of some one who directs us-the
one thing the Scot has never &C
cepted," he said at another point.
! The English-speaking peoples.
he declared, have sense of
value that places above all the
freedom of the individual, the
dignity of the human being and
his mastery over his state"

gomery, one of Gen. Eisenhower's
