districts in Montana will have
to raise more than nine pei
cent of the total cost of next
years public school program
in addition to their regular
five-mill tax levies.
The board stated the school
districts, counties and state to-

for their old age through their highly re-
stricted retirement programs"
Of course, retirement programs -
pensions are not new even for indus
trial workers. The government has been
practicing it for long time. So have the
railroads. Last year this program was in
stituted for the benefit of the coal miners.
And now Weirton Steel, a major steel
producer and the first in that field, has
introduced a penison program of S100
per month.
UAW-CIO will now seek to introduce
this program in the auto industry. And
the Steel Workers in their field The other
unions will undoubtedly follow suit. But
we want more than just pensions. We
want disqualification and surgical benefits,
plus sick leave pay.
Truly, this is a great and grand pro-
gram. 1t merits the unqualified support
not only of our union members, but of all
the people of our country. This program
will wipe the fear of old age from our
minds. This program will lend dignity and
peace of mind to our own fathers and
mothers.

Not This Time. Mr.. Taft

ID OBERI A. TAFT, OhloS OOF senior
III Senator and co-author of the notor1-
Gus Taft-Hartley Act, would rather break
an elbow than compliment labor. Particu-
larly in his own state. But this time ne did
it. Said Mr. Taft in radio interview
few days ago: Il guess will have to start
now on door-to-door a mp 6 n" OF
course, Mr. Taft was talking about his own
campaign for reelection next year.
We appreciate the compliment, Mr..
Taft. We are glad that Organized Labor
has reached such a high level of political
maturity that even a man like you -
darling of the we'll e lie d reactionary
COP Old Guard must begin to cam
paign fully a year-and-a-half in advance
in what even now appears to be des-
perate bid to save your political hide. But
this time, Mr. Taft, you won't get away
with it.
Actually Mr.. Taft has served notice
that in the coming struggle the COP Will
90 to any lengths; will stoop to any depths
in order to survive Mr.. Taft's campaign
will be based on the premise that "the
end iustifies the means" How else can
one Justify his statement in this same
interview that la or organizations are
"raising millions of dollars to defeat me"
Or that if he, Taft, is def e a te labor
bosses will control the government for
many years to come"
Taft knows, better than anyone else,
how utterly nonsensical these statements
are. No, Senator, we don't need millions"
even if we could raise such fantastic
sums - to move you from Washington to
Cincinnati. All we need is just about 5000
or 5000 more votes than we got in your
last campaign. And, Senator, we think
that we can deliver" right on the
barrel head.
After all, you know that the last time
you ran, you barely got away with your
skin. You won by bare majority of some
$4,000 votes. Already then the people of
Ohio had had enough of your reactionary
policies. And since that time the cup has
not only been filled, but it has been over
flowing for years now. We remember how
you more than anyone else, helped to kill
OPA., how you fought against raising
minimum wages improved social security
benefits, decent housing program and
how you foisted upon our backs the in
famous Taft-Hartley Act Yes, Senator,
you have been fighting against every
piece of progressive legislation in Wash
ington since the first day you arrived
there.
Well, the people of Ohio and or
ganized workers in particular - have had
enough of you and your reactionary poll
tics. That is why we, too, are beginning
to ring door bells. And you know some
thing, Senator? We think we can ring a
few more than you

A Letter
To The Editor

Dear Sir:
Thanks a lot for your coll
umn about the used car rack
eteers in the Union Journal.
1t sure was time for someone
TO take the lead in trying to
stamp out this rotten business.
Now a new racket has de-
veloped that should be nipped
in the bud and given even
more publicity in your col
umn, as it affects a great many
more of the common working
class people. This recent freeze
in California and some cold in
Florida has given the local
fruit, vegetable and commits
sion merchants the big break
they have wanted, and they
have skyrocketed the prices on
all this class of fruit and vege-
tables and the fruit juices.
Now lemons are selling at as
high as z and 8 cents apiece,
and potatoes that are grown in
and around Toledo are being
advanced in price on the
strength of the freeze in the
west.
Now the funny part of all
this Is that all these articles
that are offered for sale now
have all been bought at lower
prices long before this freeze
took place, and the potatoes
that are being raised in price
were grown around here and
dug and put in storage away
last fall. There Is absolutely
no excuse for them to sell at
higher prices.
There is a lot of unemploy-
ment now and these people
will have to suffer from these
higher prices, and you should
give this plenty of publicity in
as many papers as possible,
and also name names when
ever you can.
These rackets must be sup
pressed.
Thanks again for your help.
Jack Weldon.

Pensions For Workers
WHAT COULD BE MORE heartrend
w ing than poverty stricken age?


An old man or woman in rags
and pennyless, Stunned by everyone be-
cause they are a burden to everyone and
with even their memory fading and flee
ing them Over the hill to the poor-house
I'm trudgin' my weary way" is so bitterly
characteristic of so many of our elders.
AS Victor Hugo, the immortal French
novelist once put it, "the degradation of
man by poverty is one of the three prob
lens of the age
These things come TO our mind as we
read about the program of our Union for
the coming period Pensions and social
security for our people" That's the pro-
gram.
AS on so many occasions during past
years, so again our enemies will attack us.
They viii say that we are "dreamers,"
"utopians," radicals, and some will call
us "knaves," fools" and misleaders
people who are out to destroy our country.
But is it a crime" or a dream" to
give little bit of help to our people who
are too old to work? What law of God or
men do we violate if we say: we must
provide for our elders Is it too much TO
say that worker when he reaches the
age of 60, and after life time of hard
labor, deserves pension of $3.50 per
month? No, it is not too much It is not
enough And the very people who con-
denim us the loudest - that group of en-
ployers whose profit-hunger knows no
bounds are the best proof of this. For
these gentlemen make ample provisions

THIS is the week when the
Il new Congress squares off.
The men and women of the
81st Congress have found
houses or apartments-often
at prices most damaging to a
Congressional poe k e t b ook.
They've hired the typistS and
clerks to keep their offices
moving. And many of them
have cleaned off the patronage
and pressure group" mail
that piled up on their desks
during the early days of Janu-
ary.
Every Congressional COM
mittee is scheduling sessions
this week. And most of them
will start actual hearings on
pressing legislation.
The makeup of these COM
mittees is being carefully scru-
tinized by the labor and liber-
al spokesman here. No meas
ure can reach the House or
Senate floor until it has been
studied and passed on by a
committee.
How many of the commit
tees will be headed up by the
southerners, solely by reason
of the rule that the committee
member with longest term of
service is automatically chair
man? In the House, the Dixie
Gratis and their brethren hold
the reins in eight committees:
Agriculture, Armed Services,
Merchant Marine and Fisher
les, Post Office, Public Works,
Un-American Activities, Vet
Grams, and Ways and Means.
On the other hand, some
very able and fair-minded
chairmen managed to survive
the seniority system. Veteran
liberal Adolph j. Sabbath of
Illinois, who celebrates his
83rd birthday April 4, heads
the crucial Rules Committee
which decides in large meas
ure which bills comes to the

Face Tough Congress Fights

floor of the House. Newcomers
to his committee will be three
vigorous Observation-Disclosures
of Indiana, McSweeney of
Ohio, and Delaney of New
York. None of them is new to
Congress.
Another key com m mittee
which will have before it the
housing and anti-inflation Sec
tions of the Presidents pro-
gram is Banking and Cur
rency. Here the situation is
good Except for Brown of
Georgia, Hays of Arkansas,
Raines of Alabama and Deane
of North Carolina, the lineup
shows these Congressman who
will 60 down the line for
strong rent controls, a full
housing bill, and the kind of
economic measures Truman
has proposed: Ch irman n
Spence of Kentucky, Patrnan
of Texas, Monroney of Okla
homa, Buchanan of PennsyI-
vania, Multer of New York,
O'Brien of Michigan, Mrs.
Woodhouse of Connecticut,
McKinnon of California, Ad-
donizio of New Jersey, DOLL
niger of New York, Mitchell
of Washington, and O'Hara of
Illinois.
1t will be the social security
and tax parts of the "Fair
Deal that will require the
toughest fights to push thru.
That is clear when you see
how the labor men figure the
votes on the Senate and House
committees involved. Souther-
ners head the House Ways and
Means Committee and the Sem
ate Finance Committee.
Sen. Walter George of Geor-
gia has six Democrats and six
Republicans sitting with him
to pass on tax and social Sc
curity matters. And he's no
liberal. 1t may take some real
pressure-and lot of remind
ers about the facts of Nov. q
to get him into line.

And Views

Region 2-B

EROM the head lines that ap-
= peared in the paper this
week, it seems as if the Taft
Hartley law will be an easy
act to repeal. On sketching
along down the lines it goes a
little more into detail on the
procedure that is being fol-
lowed in bringing about the
repeal, 1t certainly doesn't
look like it will be as easy as
the head lines make it. Taft
even goes as far as to say that
1t will not be repealed but
amended. He bases his theory
on the fact that the labor COM
mittee is asking to have the
National Labor Relations Act,
or the Wagner Act as is more
familiar with the most of us,
to be reinstated with a few
minor changes. Of course, if
everybody believed everything
that the Blade publishes in
their paper, possibly we would
not even have a labor union,
for they do not publish one
paper without some kind of
ridiculing remark about he
labor organizations of our
city.
The only change that the
labor committee is asking is
the addition of the Thomas
Bill, which is retaining of the
National La bor Relations
Board, which in its self is a
very good thing. Any way it
looks as if we are going to get
what we were working for
ward to. And l think that we
are entitled to this jester for
who is the public if it isn't us.
According to Senator Morse,
Republican from Oregon, this
procedure which took place
this week in the Senate is
merely a political gesture to-
ward labor. He seems to think
that we need more non-parti-
san appeal so that manage
ment as we'll as labor and the
public are treated fairly. Well
all l have to say to this is that
labor is the public so they
make up the biggest share of
the people of the United States
so why worry about the man
agement, they manage we'll
enough. Furthermore there are
so few of them that there is no
sense of thinking about them
for they would never be salts
fled with anything that would
satisfy the majority of the
people. That is management
for you. They want all of the
gravy, while the rest of us
takes the dirty dish water, or
nothing at all. But l believe
that we are big enough and
strong enough to fight these
enemies of labor with great
success.
This last election showed
us just how strong labor was
and think that it will con-
tinue to grow in strength, for
the people are getting more
educated every day, and when
/ say this l mean the hard
way, and that is through ex-
perience. The biggest test will
come in 1850 when we can
ditch some of those anti-union
congressman n d senators,
such as Taft of Ohio. Well so
much for Taft and his outrage

Watch the overseas dis
patches for news of a possible
new international labor or
ganization, in which CIO may
play a leading role.
CIO, together with the Brit
ish and Dutch unions, walked
out of the World Federation of
Trade Unions at its meeting
in Paris on January 20. Other
non-Communist labor organi-
cations throughout the world
are apt to follow the lead of
these three.
WFTU was product of the
unity of the Big Three during
the war; when that unity
broke up in postwar years, in
large part because of Soviet
political policies, continuation
of WFTU as an effective world
labor organization was ham,
pered and eventually made
impossible.

Dispute over Marshall Plan
was issue that eventually led
to breakup of WFTU. CIO and
non n-Communist unions called
on WFTU to support the Mar

it fitted neatly into WFTU's
original resolution calling for
economic help for war-torn
areas.
But Communicated nation
al union Observation-Disclosures,
Italian and the French CGT-
were opposed to Marshall
Plan. CIO activity, led by
Secy-Treas. Jim Carey, kept

WFTU as a sounding board"

Result of division, however,
for anti-Marshall Plan prop
was TO keep WFTU from play
ing decisive role in postwar
Europe economic picture. IN
ions supporting the Marshall
Plan formed their own agency
the ERP Trade Union Ad-
visory Council-in order to
work closely with ERP and to
voice labor's program to ERP
officials.
Meanwhile both CIO and
British Trade Union Congress
became increasingly irritated
at policies of opposition unions
in the WFTU, and at WFTU's
inability to act in united, de-
cisive fashion on any major
question.

Canada Increases
Government Paw

Chicago QLNS). - Canada has
revised the basic salary scale of
the majority of its civil servants
and members of the armed forces,
the Civil Service Assembly notes.
The increase, which does not eX-
tend to the top-ranking officers of
the civil or military services, will
amount to approximately $15 per
month, and is retroactive to Oct.
1, 194S. Salary revisions for EN-
ployes at higher levels are expect
ed soon.
In announcing the increase in
basic salary rates, the Canadian
government said that it had given
careful consideration to a cost-of-
living bonus for civil servants, but
that it had come to the conclusion
"that it cannot provide to civil
servants an automatic protection
against rising living costs that is
not being provided generally to
others i'm the community. The wide
spread use of such bonuses would
tend to aggravate the upward
trend of costs and prices which
Canada is trying to combat"

Asks Court To
Back MI RIB Order
On Hiring Hall

Washington (LPA)-Still oper-
ating under the Taft Hartley act
the Natl Labor Relation Board last
week asked the United States
Court of Appeals to enforce its
order against the hiring hall de-
mands of Natl Maritime Union on
the Great Lakes.
After the Great Lakes oil tanker
companies had charged the union
with unfair labor practices last
year, they changed their minds and
signed NMU contracts including
the hiring hall. Lawyers, however,
don't pay any attention to what
ever else happens, once charges
have been filed. It's expected that
the Taft Hartley law will soon be
repealed and the hiring hall pro-
visions will go out with it. But the
law is still on the books, the case
is in the courts, and General Coun-
sci Robert N. Denham is still pro-
scouting it.
If it gets to the Supreme Court
it will be a test of the legality of
the hiring hall clause of the Taft
Hartley act-even if there is no
Taft Hartley act by then.
