Labor Peace Plan
Is Explained To
House Committee

Toledo, o. (LPA)-The Toledo
Labor Management Citizens Com
mittee received the unqualified
support of labor, management and
public representatives at a Con-
gressional hearing conducted by
Subcommittee No. of the House
Committee on Education and Labor
here.
Rep. Thomas H. Burke Cd,
Ohio), subcommittee chairman, pre-
sided at the hearing in his home
city with Rep. Roy Wier Cd,
Minn.) and Rep. Samuel McCon-
nell Or, Pa comprising the inves-
tigating panel.
Jerome Gross, executive secre-
tary of L-M-C, explained the COM
mittee is a voluntary conciliation
and arbitration agent, and handles
between sc and 100 labor disputes
annually at the request of the dis
putting parties. While only about as
per cent of the cases involve wages,
in those cases wage increases have
resulted in 85 or 90 per cent of
the settlements effected, Gross
said.
Rep. Mcconnell suggested the
public members, holding the bal
ance of power, might have selfish
interests or biases which would in
fluence their decisions. The man
agement member, Harris Mcintosh,
president of the Toledo Scales Co.,
replied, 81 have never seen any
evidence of prejudice for either
side"
Otto Brach, veteran of AZ years
of AFL activities, declared L-M-C
had helped eliminate raiding but
has not hindered organization
Toledo industries.
Wier asked if L-M-C was effec-
tive with small Independent unions.
Actually, replied William Akos,
Flat Glass Workers-CIO, L-M-C
members take more pains with such
cases than those involving the
larger unions, because it is felt
these weaker groups are more in
need of assistance.
Clyde Shamblen, representing
Pure Oil Co. workers in Toledo, re-
lated how L-M-C helped settle a
10-month strike in his plant and
then brought management and
labor representatives together at
a dinner celebrating the settle
nent. Franz Berlacher, business
agent for the AFL milk drivers
lnion in Toledo, said L-M-C settled
heir strike and labor-management
relations had improved consider
ably since.
"What if one side wants to take
/ dispute to L-M-C and the other ;
side does not?" Mcconnell asked.
Burke, who as a former CIO offic-
al in Toledo had worked closely
With L-M-C, pointed out the pres
sure of public opinion was against
he side which refused to submit
he dispute to L-M-C.
Mayor Michael V. Disable, chair
nan of the L-M-C and a public
said that if L-M-C should
old tomorrow its benefits to
Toledo have made it worthwhile.
While labor, management, and the
public are represented by six MEM 1
,ers each on the committee, he !
aid, L-M-C tries to impress upon I
is members that they all repre- 1
ent the public and have a respon- !
ibility to the community. One mea- !
ure of L-M-C's success is the !
lumber of times it has been at
acked by the Communist Daily
Worker, he declared.
Three Toledo ministers, all men,
ers of L-M-C, expressed their ap-
roval of the toledo Plan"

Medical Association To Launch
Advertising Campaign In Press

I
early in 1850, the American Medi-
cal Assn and its insurance com.
pany allies are planning to take
big advertisements in every news
paper in the country-dailies and
weeklies alike-to promote its at
tacks on national health insurance
The new campaign, expected to
cost in the hundreds of thousands
of dollars, will use the AMA's pub
licity team of Whitaker & Baxter
and the dough of the giant insur-
ance companies, which LPA dis
closed last week have teamed up
with the ANA to distribute anti
health insurance literature and
send speakers to "grass roots" or
ganizations' meetings.
Evidently sensitive over the
charges of deal between Mime
sofa editors and the state medical
society, Glenn Whitaker, of the
ANA publicity firm, emphasized
that the advertisements were 60
ing to be placed in all newspapers
not just those friendly to the
ANA.
Whitaker always has taken the
position that if advertising were
placed in all newspapers, there
could be no charge of using it to
influence the press. Perhaps he is
unfamiliar with the story of
APP advertising. There has been
no charge that the APP was dis
eliminating between friendly and
unfriendly newspapers. But there
has been overwhelming evidence
that the APP advertising had an
influence not only on what the
carried in their news
columns about the APP antitrust
case-but even in their advertising
columns.
Many big misrepresentation get
of dollars a week from
A&P advertising have shown great
reluctance to handle the govern
ment's side of the antitrust case.
And even though they have accept
ed APP ads attacking the govern
ment's case, they have refused ad-
vertising defending the govern
nent case.
There was no indication in Whit
aker's announcement of how much
would be spent in this advertising
But he said ads would
De placed in every one of the ma
ions $4,000 newspapers, and in
advertising would be
placed on the radio, in magazines
and on billboards. 1t costs big
money to put on an advertising
of this kind.
The advertising, Whitaker said,
will be geared so that life insur-
lnce companies, which are inter
,sted in the profits from voluntary
insurance which the ANA is pro-
noting as a substitute for nation
Il health insurance, can tie in with
he ANA campaign.
Clearly nervous over the roper
of the advertising cam
,aign, Editor & Publisher, trade
'rgan of the newspaper business,
editorially that "we may
xpect to hear the same old critics
preading the same old story about
he purchase of editorial opinion
very time newspaper agrees
With the ANA view next year. We
uggest that every daily and week
y newspaper go on record right
low, then the critics won't have
to talk about and they
an smother in their own indigna-
ion."

By ALExANDER S. LIPsETT, (An ILNs Featurel

James RooSevelt's decision to
jump into the gubernatorial fray
next year is the logical outcome of
an election in which the California
version Of the Fair Deal and the
demonstrated political power Of
organized labor played equal parts.
A chip of the old block, the eld-
est son Of the late President is a
clever politician and an astute
campaigner in his own right. He
lost no time in assuring every resi-
dent of California-and whoever
wants to come thereof employ
ment at fair wages and under de-
sirable working conditions. Toward
other issues such as a federal
health program-I do not favor
socialized medicine with regiment
alton of doctors and patients"-he
was markedly cool.
Jimmy-FDR used to call him
"my little boy Jimmy"-knows
what he is doing. 1t looks at this
stage as if the combination of the
magic Roosevelt name and lavish
promises can hardly fail. Still and
all, elections are a year away and
although California voters seem
ready enough to go along with pie
in the sky crackpots, so abundant
ly displayed on the West Cost, they
are apparently not prepared to
wreck the states finances on un-
sound schemes.
This has been confirmed in the
repeal of last years pension
amendment which came near des-
troying the state welfare depart
ment. Under the now repealed
measure a hand-picked social well |
fare director handled the show
with results not anticipated by the
most hardened Hollywood charact-
ers.
Nevertheless, the changes re-
sulting from the voters aboutface
on the pension issue should not be |
overrated. True, residential and
other requirements will be tighten
ed; no longer will well-to-do people
with houses and cars be able to
feed on the public trough; the age
limit will be lifted from 63 to 65;
and, finally, children will again be
held responsible for their parents
support.
All this should help to trim 40,-
700 people off the old-age relief
oils and reduce payments by $685.

II is the front porch from which
tall, leisurely, genial Warren G..
Harding, editor and publisher of
The Marion Star, conducted the
successful "front porch campaign"
which won him election as 29th
President Of the United States in
1920.
The Harding house is located at
$50 Mt. Vernon Avenue in Marion.
The late President Harding was
an inveterate collector. And in
the memorial which has been
erected to him on the outskirts of
Marion are to be found today
many relics not alone of his life
time but of earlier presidents.
Here one may see the locket
containing a clip of Abraham Lin
coins hair--the coffee cups used
by William Howard Taft-the
horseshces that once tore the
lawn at the White House--the
beautiful mahogany desk from
which Harding gave the first tele-
phone and loud speaker inaugural
address to more than 10000, 900
people-the gavel that was used
when Charles Evans Hughes was
nominated for the presidency in
l9l6--and other items of interest.
The mausoleum of both Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding is one
of the most beautiful of Ohio's
memorials, Together with the
Harding, home and the memorial,
both open to the public, the sight
seer may find much to warrant a
delay of the trip at Marion.
