Lobbyist Learns
He's Lobbying
Anti-Labor Bill

Madison, Wis. (LPA)-A corp
oration lobbyist here tried to with.
draw his own anti-labor bill, but
his fellow lobbyists wouldn't let
him. That unusual situation popped
up before the Senate Labor g. Man
agement Committee.
Some weeks ago a bill to impose
an outright prohibition on all types
of "Union security" was introduced
in the legislature at the request Of
Gordon p. Gill, industrial re'a-
tions counselor" for various Wis
consin companies.
But when it came to the hearings
Gill asked that the bill b. junked
"The employers | originally repre-
sented," he said, 'now full Y appre-
ciate that outlawing union agree
ments is not the correct lswer to
their own labor problems 1or is it
a solution to the labor ,robleins
that generally arise"
Lo and behold, however, otf er
lobbyists for industry jun ed II to
the breach as sponsors of the
measure and opposed it with

in wage rates in all regions except
the West North Central and Noun
tain. However, the declines from
Jan. ] levels were not large enough
to bring wage rates to their April
/, 1948, levels or below except in
the Pacific, Middle Atlantic, and
South Atlantic Regions. Elsewhere
wages, in general, were still above
their levels of a year ago by
amounts ranging up to almost z
percent in the East South Central
States.
The weakening Of farm wage
rates at this time may be attribut-
ed to several causes, the bureau
said. More ample supplies of labor
are now available in most sections
of the country. Demand for farm
labor is probably weaker because
net farm income was smaller in
1948 than in 1947, and prospects
are that it will be still lower this
year. Increased availability and
use of farm machinery make fewer
farm workers necessary.
The seasonal pattern of farm
wage rates has probably been in
fluenced during the past 5 years
by the fact that most of the big in
creases in industrial wage rates
have occurred during the April
June quarter, tending to carry
agricultural wage rates up with
them. The same factor may not op-
crate so strongly this year.
Approximately 91/3 million per-
sons worked on farms the week of
March 20-26, about IL percent
more than had worked in late Feb
ruary, but z percent fewer than
worked during the corresponding
week a year ago. This was the
fifth consecutive month in which
farm employment was smaller than
a year earlier.

Comment On
World Events

The North Atlantic Pact is ac-
corded first place among the treat
les by which it is planned to stop
Soviet expansion. For this reason
the concept Of this pact is of pri-
mary significance for the future
fate Of mankind. The efficiency of
this pact is especially important
for the establishment Of perman-
ent peace.
The idea of the Atlantic Pact
originated in the conclusion, form
ed by the democracies, that only
effective armed power could check
Red Imperialism. Therefore, the
formation of such power is consid-
cred by the democratic world to be
a requisite for security.
BY joining the great Western
democracies in matters Of defense,
the Atlantic Pact creates just such
"a force. The resources of these
d e m CT C e S are incomparably
greater than those Of the Bolshe-
vik dictatorship and its satellites.
Should the need arise, the super
iority of these democracies in tech
nical and industrial capacity can
develop a potential for waging war
such as the Bolsheviks cannot even
dream of.
Hence the Atlantic Pact, by as
suring the security of the Western
world, strengthens confidence in
the future of democracy. Forming
the backbone of democratic resist
ance, this pact knocks out of Boil
shevik hands their keenest weapon
against their weaker stern
neighbors. These neighbors need no
longer submit to Bolshevik terror.
4 = y
However, the conception of the
Atlantic Pact, when evaluated as
an instrument for the cause of gen
eral peace, calls for two obser-
vations.
First, this treaty is called a de-
fense pact. 1t is designed only to
repeal possible attacks aimed at
one or more of the contrary
parties. 1t does not mention the ma
tions already enslaved by the Boil
sheviks, which undoubtedly would
also join in the Atlantic Pact if
they were free. What is more, the
Bolsheviks are told at every turn
that the Atlantic Pact is not dir
ected against them and they must
thus gain a basis to surmise that
everything at present located be-
hind the iron curtain is abandoned
to the cruel fate of Bolshevik
slavery.
While politicians aver that there
can be no peace in a divided Eu-
rope, and while the cradle of West
ern civilization is slashed by the
Soviet iron curtain from Stettin to

FULTON LEWIS AND NAM
TRY CONNIE SMEAR ON
CARSON, FEC NOMINEE

= Washington LPA) - From the
same sources which have been
fighting organized labor came a
propaganda campaign this week to
block Senate ratification of the ap-
pointment of John Carson to the
Federal Trade Commission.
Carson, research director of the
Cooperative League of the USA
and veteran battler against mon
Aopolies, was named to the post by
REesident Truman.

1etary to the late Sen. James
buzens Or, Mich.). Furthermore,
he White House made it clear, in
lnouncing his apoilltment, he is
Independent politically.
Right after the NAM blast,
Radio Commentator Fulton Lewis
Jr., who has repeatedly "smeared"
labor in his broadcasts, tried to do
a similar job on Carson. In the pro-
cess, he sought to hand the "Com-
munist" label on the Cooperative
League.
Sen. Brewster, standpat Maine
Republican, got into the drive with
an attempt to picture Carson as a
radical" AS proof" he dug out
of context some phrases out of a
letter Carson had written to Sen.
Robert Wagner Cd, N.Y., in 1915.
Brewster jumped particularly on a
phrase which said that "the world
of competitive capitalism began to
have its death rattles in 1929 and
it, has been in convulsions ever
since"
Answers to this propaganda
came from a number of sources.
Former Congressman Jerry Voor-
his, now executive secretary of the
Cooperative League, sent an open
letter to the members of the Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee which is to pass on the Carson
nomination.
Voorhis denounced as "unwar-
ranted, unjustifed and true" ac-
cusations made by Fulton Lewis
against Carson and the member
organizations of the Cooperative
League. He recalled that Lewis
started months ago attacking CO.
ops over the radio-and because Of
that was expelled from member
ship in the Southern States Coop.
At that time, Voorhis added.
Carson petitioned the Federal Com
munications Commission for a
hearing at which Lewis would be
called upon to substantiate his
charges. The commission said it
lacked authority to take such
action, but since then Lewis has
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-04-28

had the "knife" out for Carson.
"The point | believe extremely
pertinent to the committees con-
sideration of the appointment ol
Mr.. Carson is that Mr.. Lewis, to
say the least, is a prejudiced wit
ness with large personal axe tc
grind" Voorhis said.
He denounced Lewis snide effort
to pin the Communist" label on
the Coop League. The fact is
Voorhis said, "the entire philosophy
of cooperation is the diametric op-
posite of the Communist philo-
sophy." Furthermore, the League
by official action, has ruled that
Communists or other totalitarians
are ineligible for membership in
any member organization of the
League, Voorhis added.
"Mr. Carson can and will submit
to the committee an impressive re-
cord of devoted citizenship and
public service which, considered
impartially, will amply justify the
Presidents CHOICE" Voorhis said
"He has an adherence of inordin-
ate power in the hands of either
state or private monopoly. He has
stood all through his life for gen.
uine American freedom. He is him.

olic Church which is the arch foe

Meantime, Labor" the news
paper of the Railroad Brother
hoods, assailed Brewster's attempt
to smear" Carson. Labor" de-
clared that "the real opposition to
Carson comes from the NAM" and
that Brewster is fronting for it.
Labor also said that Carson's let
ter to Wagner, from which Brew
ster quoted, merely summarized
"views expressed by one of the
Popes in an encyclical on the rela-
tions between workers and employ
ers."

Trieste, the concept of the Atlantic
Pact is the cause of universal
peace seems too modest and too
narrow.
Now, if owing to the narrow
limits Of its concept the Atlantic
Pact acquires the appearance of a
halfway measure, this is bound to
react unfavorably upon the signi-
ficance Of the pact as a means for
security.
The defensive aims of the Allan
tic Pact, striving not to touch upon
the question of Moscow's war
booty, will be interpreted in the
Kremlin in no other way than as
sign of the weakness of democracy.
Weakness not in the sense of
potential to wage war, but in the
sense Of a weak resolve to utilize
this potential. The public outcry
the Communist leaders in the
Western world have recently raised
against the Atlantic Pact, demon
strates clearly that the Kremlin is
speculating on the inertia of demo-
cracy and seeking to lean back,
pushing its fifth column to the,
fore.
For the greater effectiveness of
the Atlantic Pact as means for
security, its concept should be
based on the principles set forth in
the Atlantic Charter. After all, it
should not be forgotten that all the
great nations Of the world solemnly
pledged themselves to stand byI
these principles as the basis for q
future peace.

 The Waterbury Barons Baseball team are planning to open up their season on the road this year against the East Orange Red Sox. It will be a three game series April 2e, through May 1, Friday to Sunday. The Saturday game will be a night game. They do not ex- pect to open in Waterbury until the first Sunday in July.
 Joe Campini, the rookie Negro catcher of the Waterbury Timers will not train with the Timers in their Southern camp in Wilmington, N. C., due to the fact that no col ored players will be accommodated there. Joe's parents advised him against going South where he would be the center of controversy and in my opinion I think that is acting 100 per cent right because the Timers are nowhere near as powerful or as financially able as the Brooklyn Dodgers - if you get what I mean. So MT. Campini is being very wise in staying away from that Southern atmosphere. He's going to train with the Bridgeport Bees until the Timers open their season at the Municipal Stadium April IS.
 Samuel Craig of 51 Hopkins St. is manager of four boxers who train at the Pearl Street Neighbor- hood House. These boys are Billy King, light heavyweight; George Harris, middleweight; Isaac Over ton, welterweight, and Herman Gary, bantamweight. All of these boys have proven to be good pros poets. Sam tells me that Billy King is about to turn pro. Pm sure that if Sam handles the boy he will be going along in proper manner and not rushed too fast like good many of our young boxers, nova days. Sam has been putting in a lot of time and doing swell job working with these young fellows and deserves only the best of luck.

Whenever Larry has played, it IS very significant that Lou puts him in the number five or six spot in the batting lineup. Last year Larry hit some tremendous home runs. There was one he hit in Washington that many people be- lieve to be the hardest bail ever hit in the major leagues.
 It may be that Larry will be up there with Mize, Williams, and DiMaggio in the home run race this year.
 He has the power. Tn fact. he hits as hard as any man in either league. Larry does not pull a ball like most of the great llitters, but lines his shots straight away to dead center field. The home run he hit, in Houston was straight away and dead center, clearing a tall fence at the ABA foot mark. That, my friends, is nothing but brute power. When this young player begins to pull to his normal field and slice those outside pitches to the opposite field, you will see a consistent power-hitter. Doby's homer evoked sounds and sighs reminiscent of good old camp meeting. from the white as well as Negro fans when he stroked that mighty homer in Buffalo Stadium.
 Satchel Paige pitched in this game, but the Giants treated him like cousin. Tn baseball language, a pitcher is said to be a cousin when he can be hit very freely.
 The Giants got seven hits off Paige in four innings. Satchel gave up four runs during his short time on the mound.
 However. the New York Giants are hitting all pitchers at this stage of the season. Tn fact, the Giants, man for man, will hit with any team in the League.
 Old Satch had his work cut out for him in facing these sluggers. But when the season rolls around, old Satch will deliver the goods. He will save many games and win his share to help Cleveland stay up in the first division.
