Dark Horizons

THE LEVEL of business operations is
Il still very much on the decline In GER
tain segments of our economy the rapid
drop is almost catastrophe. The much
heralded Spring thaw" is nowhere in
sight AS matter of fact, now everyone
even the Presidents Economic Advisory
Council - openly predicts that "a busi-
ness recession must now be regarded as
a definite possibility"
Even more alarming are the actual
happenings in our industries. Steel, for
example, is expected to lower its operating
level another 153o before the middle of
summer and total of 800 by the end of
the year. Chemicals-a key industry and
an excellent barometer for a number of
other equally important branches of our
economy - is also hitting new lows in
their operating levels. What is more, no
increase in this field is foreseen at the
present time. This is regarded as extreme
ly ominous since the chemical industry
must begin to ship its products 80 days in
advance before any increase in operating
levels of such industries as steel, textiles,
glass, soap, paper, petroleum, etc. can
take place.
ADDED ALL TOGETHER this simply
means unemployment, the most paralyzing
and most feared disease of our economic
system. 1t means that unless some very
drastic steps are taken our nation - the
Wealthiest, the most abundant on earth
- is headed for another economic tall
spin.
Of corse, it is not necessary to have
another depression We could avoid it.
But we will not avoid it, unless something
is done about it. The CIO National Execu-
tive Board, meeting in Washington short
time ago, pointed this out to the American
people and to the Federal Government.
Said the CIO statement: 4. :. wages must
be increased and prices reduced" to in
crease the purchasing power of the work
ers And further, that "the government
must be ready to start large public
works program to take up the slack in
employment"
That's simple enough. Unfortunately,
however the poWers-that-be-i and out
of governmental pretty much deter
mined to ignore this advice from the
leaders of CIO. These people are already
embarked upon the same type of program
that led us to the horrible crash of 1929.
Under this type of leadership, therefore,
another economic crash is inevitable.
Unless, of course, the American people
put a stop to this insane policy which can
only lead to suicide.

isfied' with the progress of liberal legislation
in this 81st Congress. The President not so
long ago, seemed to have different view, and
was thought to favor special session early in
the fall. No White House statement has yet
ruled out this possibility.
Any judgement of the Lucas declaration
must take into account the Democratic Con-
gressional leaderships failure, from November
1948 to date, to keep up with President TEu-
mans program The legislative leaders have
been consistently caught with their plans
down.
They failed to recognize that they were
elected to enact program. Their performance
has been that of tired hacks who accept the
conservative predictions of their colleagues
when they don't share them Virtually no at
tempt was made between November 1948 and
the beginning of the session this January to
prepare bills and line up votes for them
AT the opening of Congress the Senate
Democrats refused to discipline the Dixiecrats.
The opportunity to win firm support from
dozen or two northern Republicans for sub
stantial portions of the Presidents program
was lost
Thruout the session Lucas and Rayburn
have tried to achieve cheap compromises be-
tween the Presidents program and the preju-
dices of the southern Democrats. Seldom have
they acted as spokesmen for Truman or the
platform on which he was elected That they
haven't bent over even further is due largely
to the hard work of the real liberal-labor
group inside the Democratic party in Con-
gresS, and the pressure of trade union legsla-
tive representatives
AS disappointed as we are in the Lucas
Rayburn Congress, we cannot forget that the
liberal-labor coalition would have gotten alb
solutely nowhere if Tom Dewey had been in
the White House.

ter how great the emergency might be in any
dispute, government has no justification for
throwing its weight and power in on the side
of either of the disputants.
The power of government should be used
only on the side of the public and the nation.
However, if Congress insists that government
must place its power one side or the other
in such disputes in order to protect the public
interest, believe that it has more justification
for putting that power on the side of the en-
ployees. This is because there are more citi-
zens involved on the employees side than on
the corporations side, and because the en-
ployeeS are naturally the weaker side There

LucaS~Rayburn Team Stages A Poor Show
BY BRADFORD v. CARTER
LPA ColumniSt

TRADE unionists and liberals thruout the
nation were shocked last week by Demo
cratic Leader Scott Lucas disclosure that only
three more pieces of major legislation will re-
ceive Senate attention this session.
No one doubts the importance of the three
measures accorded priorities: Taft Hartley re-
peal the North Atlantic pact, and the reci-
procal trade agreements act
There is considerable doubt, however, that
the Congress must adjourn by July 81 True,
Washington summers are not pleasant But
about million citizens will survive the Aug
ust heat of the Capital area and unlike the
solons most of them don't have air conditioned
offices. A few subversve types are even say
ing that Congressman should when necessary,
consider theirs full-time jobs
Specifically listed for the scrap-heap in
Lucas statement are the Presidents health in
surance program and civil rights legislation.
The Senate leader added that he can hold out
little hope for minimum wage legislation, So
cial security expansion, tax reform, and lib
eralization of the displaced persons law.
The liberal-labor organization Americans
for Democratic Action, in which AFL CIO
and unaffiliated union leaders play promi-
nent part, labelled Lucas statement more
than flag of surrender" 1T is" said ADA.
"a flat betrayal of the Democratic party plat
form"
Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn was
with Lucas during his conference with the
President Rayburn had previously declared
that Congress must adjourn by the end of
July, and scoffed at the idea of a special
session.

either of the disputants. That is why have
made the proposal did in H.R. 4811 Regard
less of what Mr.. Editor told you, l did take
the keep EN- talking" principle from the To-
ledo LMC.
Since space is limited, l will just briefly
sketch what this proposal consists of.
In section 4O1 the President, on finding
that grave national emergency, endangering
the national safety or security, either threat
ems or exists shall issue a proclamation call
ing upon the parties to continue work or op-
erations or resume work or operations if
stoppage has occurred.
In section 4O2 it is stated that it is the duty
of the parties to the dispute to refrain from
strike or lockout or the continuance, thereof,
and to continue operations status quo, or as
they were Immediately prior to the beginning
of the disputes, until a change is agreed to
by both parties or for 60-days, whichever pc
riod is shorter.
Contrary to all other provisions of this
kind, this is not cooling off period, be-
cause the nature of the whole emergency dis
pute clause assures the workers that something
is being done directly on their case.
In Section 403 the parties are required to
Immediately enter negotiations for at least
four hours every day Including Saturday,
Sunday and holidays) until an agreement is
reacned or the sixty days nave expired. IhlS
is the application of the keep EN- talking"
principle
In section 4O4 the Secretary of Labor is
authorized to appoint special mediator or
mediators to enforce the compulsory negotia-
tions
In section 4O5 the mediator or mediators
are required TO report the results of the nego-
tiations to the President at the time agreement
is reached when the sixty days have ex-
pired. Also, the mediator or mediators may re-
port to the President whenever either party
has ceased or refused to bargain in good faith.
The President may make such report pub
lie, but in any event he shall make full and
comprehensive report to Congress with rec
concentrations for consideration and appropri-
ate action.
In section 406 fine of $4,000 or a Jail
sentence of six months upon conviction, is pro-
vided for wilfull violation of Section 402

Where Is The Criminal?

ELEvEN DAYS HAVE gone by since
- Victor Reuther was shot down in his
own home. Mr.. Reuther, now out of
danger, lost the sight of one eye as re-
suit of this criminal attack.
But to this date, despite the efforts of
state and local officers in Detroit, the
criminal or criminals have not been appre-
hended. AS for the F.BI., we are told that
they are investigating whether or not
federal law was violated in the criminal
attack on Victor Reuther in which case
they would join the local agencies in an
effort to track down the criminals.
We don't know much about legal tech
nicalities, but whatever they are they
should be swept aside. We would think
that in a case of this type, especially after
the many reqests from the City of Detroit,
the State of Michigan, from senators and
from many, many other sources the F.B.l.
would be eager to get into the situation
and get to the bottom of this reprehensible
crime.
There must be no rest for all those
concerned until the criminal or criminals
who perpetrated this crime against Victor
Reuther, and earlier against his brother,
President Walter Reuther of UAW are
apprehended and put behind bars.

Georqio Justice"

TINE MANGLED and bullet pierce
Il body of another Negro has been found
along a Georgia country road The un-
fortunate victim was abducted from the
iail of Irwinton, Ga, by two unknown"
white men who presumably committed
the horrible murder.
We don't know whether this % year
old Negro, Caleb Hill, Jr., was guilty or
innocent The very meager dispatches tell
ing of this horrible crime don't even men
tion what he was charged with. All we
know is that he was arrested by local
sheriff, George Hatcher, who took him to
Jail around midnight and then left, the
the entrance to his home and to the Jail,
which was on the second floor of his home
open while he went to a local tavern
where the arrest took place to look for
his pistol which was lost in the scuffle"
when the arrest took place.
And, during this very convenient abb
sence, two unknown" white men went
to the Jail, took Hill along and murdered
him
The tragedy in this case transcends
far above the fearful fate of Caleb Hill.
He is dead and nothing on earth can re-
store him to life. Far greater is the tragedy
that nothing will be done to punish these
murderers who will go on to commit
similar crimes in the future with impunity
and animal-like savagery That is the real
crime. And it is a crime that brands all
of us-particularly the Congress-for not
putting an end to these CHASTITY murders
in sunny Dixie land SO frequently drench-
ed with the blood of the Caleb Hills.

Who's Kiddin' Who?

THE VICIOUS ATTACK leveled against
n David E. Lilienthal, chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission, by Senator
Hickenlooper, Iowa's lamental contribu-
ton to the Senate should surprise no one,
least of all Mr.. Lilienthal himself. The
Senator apparently hates Mr.. Lilienthal.
Just as he was hated by other senator's,
congressman and big business representa-
tives in the days when he so ably managed
and protected the interests of the Tennes-
see Valley Authority from those who
moved heaven and earth to destroy that
great federal power project.
Depite the huge amount of publicity,
Senator Hickenlooper to this moment has
not presented a shred of evidence to prove
his charge of incredible mismanagement"
that he leveled against Mr. Lilienthal. We
doubt very much if he has any proof" at
all
Senator Hickenlooper wants to elini-
nate Mr.. Lilienthal because he thinks that
by doing that he can restore the Atomic
Energy Commission back to the Military;
back to those who would use atomic power
to enhance the interests of big Business.
For that rea son alone Mr. Lilienthal
should be given every support and the
honorable" Senator told to shut up.

"Moimed, MangIed And Killed.

TOHN L. LEWIS, undisputed leader of
81 Americas coal diggers, rose to oratori-
cal heights as he pleaded the case of the
coal miners before a Senate labor sub
committee He didn't want m uc h. He
simply asked that the Federal government
enforce its safety code to protect the well
fare of the miners.
Said Mr.. Lewis: ". in the past 19
years 1,259,081 miners were manned,
mangled and killed"
''If | had the powers of a Merlin"
thundered Mr.. Lewis, II would march
that million and a quarter men past the
Congress of the United States-the quick
and the dead.
II would have the ambulatory injured
drag the dead after them. / would have
the concourse thanked by five weeping
members of each mans family, six and
quarter million people, wailing and
lamenting."
What crushing indictment!
1t is almost a shame that Lewis does
not posses the powers of Merlin, King
Arthurs legendary magician. For even if
he were possessed of such powers it is
doubtful if some members of the Con-
gress-faithful and loyal servants of Big
Business-would even then vote to en-
force their own rules to protect the health
and welfare of the nations coal diggers.

They Gave Their
Todays
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Editors note; Ruth Taylor's column
reached the editorial desk too late for publi-
cation last week.
They gave their todays that our tomor-
rows might be saved"
Memorial Day is a solemn day - not a
holiday but holy day On Memorial Day we
pause moment in reverent memory of those
who have gone beyond, we do honor to those
who gave their promising futures, their plans,
their hopes their dreams, their lives that our
tomorrows might be saved.
In their names, we must therefore -
live gloriously for America and for the ideals
for which they fought
In their names -- called from all national
tiles, all colorS all creeds we must so build
for the future that here in America there is
fair play for all; equal opportunities for work
and education; protection, not coddling of the
weak, respect not cenSure, for the strong; a
sincere desire to let each man be himself.
In their names we must make sure that
the tomorrows of the children of today are
free from the threat of war. We must be will
ing to seek, for all the peoples of all the earth
irrespective of class, creed or color - Justice
not vengeance fair play, not special privilege
frlendlinesS, not miStruSt; aWareneSs of our
brothers needs, not pressing of our own adj
vantage
Theirs was the sacrifice Ours is the duty
TO see to il that this sacrifice shall not be in
vain - that America lives up TO its highest
Ideals, that the democratic way of life con-
tlnues to give opportunity and freedom to all.
That our tomorrows be so lived that they are
worthy of the sacrifice
They gave ther todays that our tomor-
rows might be saved"
