Power Trust Found
Aiding Lobby To
Curb Cooperatives

Washington (LPA)-The Power
Trust was revealed last week to
have been one Of the main contri-
butors to the Natl Tax Equality
Association, the propaganda and
lobbying organization which has
been seeking Legislation to cripple
cooperatives.
At least 16 power companies
gave money to the NTEA, the Co
operative League Of the USA dis
closed. They provided a sizeable
share of the $139,978 collected by
the NTEA. during the first quarter
of 1949, according to the associa-
TONS own reports filed with Con-
gress under the Lobby Regulation
Act. That's in addition to a "bal-
ance" of $198,848 reported by the
organization as Of January A.
That the NTEA doesn't relish
"pitiless publicity" was made plain
when its representatives appealed
to Rep. Wright Patman Cd, Tex
chairman of the House Committee
on Small Business, to make no fur
ther inquiry into the NTEA's oper-
ations.
Patman insisted his committee
would go on with its probe and that
investigators would be sent tC
NTEA headquarters to determine
what records should be reported tC
the House Committee.
This investigation is follow
up on an inquiry conducted by the
same committee at the last session
into the activities of cooperatives
At that time, the committee was
under Republican control. The SEQ
ops" had nothing to hide and pre-
sented full reports, but the NTEA
is having hysteria over the idea OF
being placed under the spotlight.
Incidentally, the financial report
for the first quarter of 1949 was
the first to be filed by the NTEA
under the Lobby Act. The NTEA's
alibi for its failure to file up tC
now was that its previous charter
didn't include lobbying as an objec-
tive, but that the charter has now
been changed.
The Coop League questioned that
alibi. "There is belief that the
NTEA, knowing Patman would get
the records, decided to file a re-
port and hope that Patman could
be induced to abandon his work,
the League said. "Patman refused

At the same session, the editors
also adopted a resolution opposing

PetriIIo Warns
Musicians They're
In Tight Spot

San Francisco (LPA) - Music
ians are in a tight spot economic
ally, President James C. Petrillo of
American Federation of Musicians
AFL told his unions convention
here.
In the interests of reviving
vaudeville, the only chance for 49,
900 to 21,000 unemployed theatre
musicians, Petrillo urged AIM
locals to adjust their wage de-
mands to encourage small theatre
operators.
Last years recording strike, he
bluntly admitted, was forced to an
unsatisfactory settlement because
the unions own members were
bootlegging records. They needed
the money. The union chief predict
ed that a strike for royalties In
the motion picture industry now
would be flop because the studios
have so much canned music saved
up "they wouldn't give damn If
we never came back to work"
Petrillo received enthusiastic ap-
plause from the delegates when he
promised action as soon as it be-
comes practical. Everything re-
solves itself down to economic
strength" he declared. "The en-
ployer won't do anything unless
you stop him from making money,
You'd probably do the same thing
if you were in his place"

Garment Workers
Board Reports
Organizing Gains

Unity House, Pa. (LPA)-Or-
gaming gains in the New York
dress industry and thruout the
country were reported to last
weeks meeting Of the executive
board of the Int'l Ladies Garment
Workers Union-AFL.
Over 1000 new members have
been recruited in the New York
organizing drive, in the course of
which gangsters murdered one
ILGWU organizer recently. No
progress in apprehending his kill
ers has yet been reported by NY
police.
President David Dubinsky told
the board that the union has man
aged to keep up wages in the gar
ment industry, despite declining
production. In some cases, he said,
the union has had to forego wage
demands because of lower employ
ment and a tightening market.
At least 899c of the lLGWU's
more than 100000 members are
now covered by the unions social
security contract provisions, Dub
insky reported. The funds paid out
over 100000 last year in health,
vacation and pension benefits.
The board voted to purchase
81 100000 of bonds to finance
housing developments in Israel.
Union members are expected to
take another $2,000,000 worth.

Steel Industry
Starts Anti-Wage
Raise Propaganda

Pittsburgh (LPA)-The steel in
dustry got its anti-wage raise pro-
paganda under way last week.
Irving S. Olds, chairman of US
Steel, in a speech at Salt Lake City,
tried to convince his audience that
it's impossible for outsiders" to
really understand steel profits. A
Legitimate rate of profit can only
be determined by those who know
"what is wise and advisable in light
Of everything that has true bear
ing on the subject" Olds said.
To the ordinary citizen the basic
facts about steel profits remained
clear, however.
The % big steel companies which
account for $40 of the nations
ingot capacity had net profits Of
S1O1, ,770,9O1 for the first quarter
of 1913 and STA ,948,72O for the
corresponding period this year. Us
Steel itself increased net earnings
from $27,757,341 to $49,928,670.
Thinly yelled indications of the
industry's determination to force
a fight with the United Steelwork-
ers of America mount every week
in the pages of journals like Iron
Age, the steel industry's own trade
paper, business Week and the
Journal of Commerce.
The industry is continuing to
stockpile coal from its captive
mines" in expectation of a miners
strike, while the auto industry
stockpiles steel, hunching steel
workers strike.
Us Steel, and leading members
of the Little Steel" fraternity, re-
Gently replied to bargaining sum-
mons that while they would discuss
wages and health insurance they
would not deal with the union on
pension proposals this year. They
added that general business uncer-
tainty and the decreasing cost of
living" makes this an inopportune
time for the union to press its de-
mands.
A union spokesman summed up
the unions attitude this way: Il
think it is the business of USA to
press for our demands. | am not
threatening. | do not say there
must be a strike. | sincerely hope
not. But l do say that our people
are going to get out of this indus
try, God willing a more decent
treatment than has ever been ac-
corded them before"

Miners Quit Work
In Effort To
Reduce Goa! Stock

Washington (LPA)-About half
a million coal miners in hard and
soft coal fields Stayed away from
work this week, in response to a
United Mine Workers directive.
In calling for the work stoppage
UNIV President John L. Lewis last
week said: "This period Of inaction
will emphasize lack of general
stability in the industry and the
dangers which will accrue there
from if current harmful practices
are not remedied."
With at least 81 days supply of
coal already above ground, not
very strong complaints were forth
coming from coal owners against
the unions policy. Only workers
directly tied to the coal industry,
like employees of coal-hauling rail
roads, will be affected by the "brief
stabilizing period of inaction" as
Lewis calls the week-long stop
page.
During the week Lewis will meet
with Harry Moses, president Of
the US Steel subsidiary, the H. c,
Frick Coke Co., to discuss new
contract for the Captive Mines
Negotiations between the UNIV
and the Southern Coal Producers
Assn have begged down.
AS long ago as the UMW's Octo-
Der 1948 convention, the union
warned that if the industry itself
did not take steps to stabilize pro
duction and employment in the
mines the union would take the
lead. This weeks walk-out is evid-
ence of the unions determination
to keep its members employed.
The miners vacation period be-
gins June 20, running till July 5
Even if the miners return to work
next week, as Lewis letter indi-
Gated they will, very little coal will
be dug during the next four weeks
And in the middle of the vacation
period the coal contracts expire
In keeping with traditional UNIV
policy the men will not return to
the pits after their holiday unless
new contracts have been agreed to-
While some people charged that
the UNIV move would hurt the
chances of Taft-Hartley repeal
President Truman refused to get
excited. He called Lewis a "head-
line hunter, but explained to re-
porters that this is no national
emergency strike, but ''rest" de-
signed to improve the miners bar

month.

Eastern Labor Editors
Rdp Post Office Dept.

Washington IPA) - U &c e
Sans Postoffce Department won't
need a letter to know that labor
editors take a dim view of the de
partment's present system Of re-
turning wrongly-addressed papers.
What the editors think about the
setup was told to a Postoffice De-
partment representative face to
face at the annual meeting here of
the Eastern Labor Press Confer
ence.
Roy c. Frank, associate solicitor
Of the department, got a mouthful
from the 80 editors who attended
representing papers from all parts
Of the country east Of the Missis-
sippi.
They made it clear they disliked
the departments practice Of hav-
ing pink stickers pasted over in
correct addresses on their papers
These slips have got to be steamed
off to get at the addresses under
meath, the editors complained.
-4s Garland Ruark, editor Of the
Baltimore Federationalists put it:
"We steam and we tear; we curse
and we swear, but it doesn't do any
good"
The editors also protested the
departments procedure Of letting
wrongly-addressed papers aecumu-
late for weeks at a time before
they're shipped back.

Rail Keymen Urged
To Back Fair Deal
AT Tampa Farley

Tampa, Fla. (LPA)-SiX hund-
red delegates to the triennial con-
vention here of the Order of Rail
road Telegraphers-AFL heard their
president, G. d. Leighty make q
stirring plea for support of the
"Fair Deal" program in Congress
The 600 represent over $4,000 COM
munications workers on the "Iron
Horse" in the United States and
Canada.
Reporting to the opening sess-
ions of the two-week conclavei
Leighty called on all members OF
the Order to lend support in the
fight for repeal of the Taft Hart
ley act and state anti-labor laws
and also to push demands for en-
actment of such measures as health
insurance, higher minimum wage
and Il long-range housing program
In addition, he listed goals the
organization will seek on the rail
roads, such as longer vacations,
paid sick leave, and other improv-
ed working conditions.
Leighty reported that the unions
membership and finances are above
the wartime peak. Wage gains
since the last convention, plus the
4O-hour week at 48-hours' pay won
recently, will bring the average
pay of ORT members on the rail
roads to $1.63 an hou, Leighty
said.

Big Business In Badger State Tries
To Undermine Food Law Enforcement

Madison, Wis. (LPA)-The Bad
ger state isn't what it used to be
in the heyday Of the LaFollette
Progressives. The change-at least
insofar as consumers are concern
ed-was spotlighted in an angry
editorial published by the militant
Capital Times Of this city.
Big business elements, now in
control Of the legislature, are NOV
ing step by step to undermine pure
food laws put on the statute books
in the LaFollette era, the Capital
Times pointed out. 1t denounced
the bills passed by the legislature
which would permit food professors
to adulterate their products.
The Capital Times charged toe
that the state Agriculture Dept
responsible for enforcing the pure
food standards, has permitted vio-
lations to go on unchallenged. II
this trend goes on, it warned
"there won't be any pure food laws
left in Wisconsin"
In an interview with an attorney
for the Agriculture Dept, the
Times got shocking admissions OF
the extent to which the pure food
laws are becoming a dead letter.
"There are a whole mass of pro
ducts which do not comply with
state pure food Standards" said
Anthony Nader, attorney for the
department. ''If we tried to enforce
the pure food laws fully, we would
empty every grocery shelf in the
state"
Why are the wholesale evasiOns
permitted? Because the depart
ment hasn't adequate staff to check
on them, Nader declared. Some of
the big chains, he said, would rath-
er be penalized than obey the law.
Suppose" for example, we pro-
secute a chain store for selling can
ned peaches with dextrose," he ad-
ded. even if we got a conviction
they would just pay the fine and
continue to sell in violation of the
law. We couldn't keep the food
stuffs off the market"
Another Nader alibi was that
some of the requirements in the
pure food laws are "out of date
and should be changed. The legis-
lature is changing them, but not
in the direction Of protecting the
consumers, said the Times.

TYcoons Pledge Battle
To BlockPublic Power

Atlantic City OPA) = Nearly
5000 Of the leading figures in the
$17,500,0 100000 private power in
dustry met here last week. 1t was
the convention of the Edison Elec-
trio Institute.
They renewed their oft repeated
pledges to battle to the death Pre-
sident Truman and other advocates
of public power development, and
accepted with good grace a predic-
ton that the recession now under
way in America will last until
1851.
Speaker after speaker agreed
with Elmer l.. Lindseth, Cleveland
power executive, that the utilities
men must launch a "grass roots
campaign" to convince the Ameri-
can people of the ability of 'busi-
ness managed power companies
to fill the nations power needs.
Lindseth who was elected pres
ident of the Institute, said that the
industry will develop a SOUND
public understanding by use of al
channels of information to EN-
ployes, neighbors and customers"
Seconding his remarks was 8
guest speaker-Chairman Morris
Sayre of the NAM. He said that
corporation heads in the manufac-
turing and utilities industries must
give their 100000 employees the
economic facts of life to offset col
lectivist propaganda"
Many of the power big-wigs as
serted that the present, admittedly
moderate, expansion plans of the
private industry are sufficient
Only the Pacific northwest lacks
sufficient power, was the general
theme.
Most interesting speaker, how
ever, was Charles E. Wilson, pres
ident of the General Electric Co.
He assured the utilities men that
the decline in industrial production
now underway will lessen the pub
lie demand for expansion of power
facilities.
Wilson predicted that downward
tendency will continue until the
last quarter of 1850. BY that time
production will be 15f6 below the
194S average, Wilson said, and then
it'll start upward again, reaching
1948 levels by the end of 1851.
However, the GE head declared
there'll be nothing like the depres-
sion of the early '30s. The absence
of speculative excess inventories,
current production and price cuts
and government social security and
farm-price support programs rule
this out in his opinion.
Wilson opinioned that little
recession will be good for the coun-
try, and said that the electrical in
dustry will cut consumers goods

duction 1919 by the end of 1919.

ANA Gives Ground But
Bucks Heulth Insurance

Atlantic City (LPA)-Determin-
ed to fight to the bitter end against
a program of compulsory health in
surance, the American Medical
Assn at it's annual sessions here
gave ground on many other fronts
where unions and consumer organ
izations have been urging the
doctors to catch up with the times.
The medicos heard a pep-talk by
Glenn Whitaker, of the public re
lations firm of Whitaker & Baxter,
which is spending the $2,5O0,000
education" fund that the ANA
has assessed it's members to fight
health insurance. He reported that
besides the 100000 his firm will
receive for salary and travel ex-
penses, most of the 100000 to be
spent this year will go for litera-
ture. He figures it will take
through 1851 to click this damn
thing"
AS for giving ground, the AMA's
House of Delegates took these
actions: Approved a set of &c
standards under which union and
consumer-sponsored health plans
could be approved by local medical
societies. AFL and CIO experts
had worked through the Coopera-
tive Health Federation in nego-
tiations with ANA that resulted il
the 20 points. Chairman Dear
Clark of CHA said the action
"may constitute no more than liz
