Taft, Donnell Still Think Like 1890 Men
by Bradford v. Carter
LPA COlumnist

enacted by ii to matters purely within state
jurisdiction and legislative power? Isn't that
of some importance?
"TOBIN-I would like to cite the wording
"effecting commerce" in the labor relations
law (Taft- Hartley that was passed in the last
session of Congress-
"DONNELL-I want to know your opinion
as to whether or not it is of any importance to
preserve the line of federal jurisdiction in
legislation as distinguished from the line of
matters appropriately to be kept to state legis-
lation That is of importance, is it not?
"TOBIN-I will have to go back into his
tory in order to answer that question. 1t can't
be answered yes or no. The division of authori-
ty granted at the time of the writing of the
original constitution was perfectly applicable
at that time, but you nave seen the courts
change their thinking down thru the years as
the economy of the country has changed and
l would say | would want to see the Congress
of the US broaden any law that would help
stabilize the economy, and l would not want
TO see exempted any phase of the economy that
would adversely affect the economy.
in other words, in the delegation of powers
there should be an attempt in the light of to-
days complicated economic picture to have an
approach comparable to that of the founding
ment that which can best be handled by the
federal government and to the states that
which can best be handled by the states.
"DONNELL-That isn't what it says.
"TOBIN-In broad language.
"DONNELL-I wouldn't agree
This argument goes on every day--on the
floors of Congress, in committee discussions,
and when delegations from home come to talk
with the states-righters
Surely, it's frustrating But every time it
happens, it becomes clearer and clearer that
these men-Dixiecrats and northerners alike
just don't belong in the nations highest law
making body in l949. It's like driving Mo-
del-T on six lane highway; and scrapping the
outmoded legislators can be done more easily
than you might think.

THERE is rapidly widening gap between
Il the states-rightS bloc in the Congress and
the younger and more vigorous group that has
learned its politics under the New Deal. And
in the states-rights bloc, this writer would in
clude the men of both parties who argue that
the Constitution (often they say unfortunate
ly'O in 1899, set down hard and fast lines
which curb what the Congress can do.
Take the occasion last week when Labor
Secretary Tobin appeared to defend a broad
ened Fair Labor Standards Act. Sen. Taft
listened to Tobin's very able presentation for
80 minutes so. Then he got peeved at what
Tobin was assuming, and broke in. Sen. Don
nell (another McKinley-era Republican from
MissourD had expressed his distaste for Su-
preme Court ruling that a WindoWWasher in
a New York City office building is entitled to
the protection of the 40c wage minimum and
time and -a-half for overtime after 40 hours
under the present law This is what followed;
TAFT suggest they have benn constant
ly pressing the definition of interstate COM
merce in the administration of this law to the
limit. and with these additional powers there
will be no distinction, everybody who is work
ing in this country, except where we have spe-
officially exempted them-it seems that is the
only protection if these two things are in--un-
less we want to have the law applied to every
body in the USA. | am not saying what we
should or should not do but don't you think
that is the necessary effect of these broadening
provisions?
"TOBIN-It is very broadening, / agree,
and as / have stated, | would like to see
minimum wage law that would cover great
many more workers than are covered at the
present time and, certainly, if window-wash-
er were paid rs cents an hour, he would not
be over-paid for the hazardous work that he
has to perform.
"DONNELL-Dont you regard if of i'm
portance, however that the Congress should
follow the constitutional limits of the federal
power, rather than, to try to extend legislation

Holds
For Housing

COLUMBUS, April 18 - Gov
ernor Lausche was reported to
have sent a message to House
Democrats last week as the
House committee on taxation
completed work on an hrban re-
development, no urban rede-
velopment law unless public
housing legislation Is also pass

The committee, by a large ma
iority, reported out compro-
mise urban redevelopment bill
that doesn't specifically mention
public housing. 1t does leave
the way open for public hous-
ing projects to replace slums If
the public housing bill passes.

Ifering with the political and So
cial rights of teachers was sound
ed here last week by DR.. Harold
Taylor, president of Sarah Law

SUP Jurisdiction
Is Upheld

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
NLRB last week made short
shrift of the claim of Natl I'm

CIO and the unaffiliated Pacific
Coast Firemen & Oilers to juriS-
diction over seamen belonging
to the Sailors Union of the Paci-
fic-AFL. Altho they had no
members in the crew of a Pacific
Coast vessel - all the workers
involved being represented by
the SUP-the two unions claim
ed 10 crewmen as theirs by ira
ditional rights" ;" The NLRB,
however, found that SUP has
been negotiating for all organ
lied employees of the company
involved, and has never conced-
ed the rights claimed by the two
smaller unions.

Push Elsa In Senate

WASHINGTON (LPA) =
Both AFL and CIO spokesmen
appeared last week before the
Senate Labor Subcommittee to.
urge a greatly strengthened Fair
Labor Standards Act. They want
a better bill than that passed by
the House Labor Committee -
with the minimum wage at 75c
but power given to industry
committees to raise this as fast
as possible to 81, with CONNER
cial agriculture workers coveud
by the law; and the strongeL
possible provision to include en-
ployees of large-scale retail es-
Establishments. ~

ber of Congress had revealed
that the bill would be ap-
proved.
He told the reporters that IL
they would check with the mem
bers of Congress they would
find that a great many who had
voted for the Taft-Hartley Act
had changed their minds. He
predicted that they would be
surprised"
The Secretary added that he
expected the Administrators
labor bill to pass the House by
May l. Congress will return af-
ster the Easter recess on April
26.
Questioned on the measure
proposed by John S. Wood, Dem
ocrat of Georgia, which would
tighten" the Taft-Hartley Act,
Tobin said, II think the Wood
bill is more Objectionable than
the Taft Hartley and ! don't
know where it will get any sup
port"
Secretary Tobin did not pre-
dict when he thought the labor
bill would be passed by the
Senate. But he said he hoped the
Administrators bill would be
enacted before some industries
start collective bargaining in
June.
Tobin also was asked if he
was confident that the Federal

partment of Labor, just as me-
diation agencies are found in the
labor departments of the States
and other national governments

News reporters also asked
Tobin if the delay in considering
labor legislation had been harm
full. The Secretary said that If
anything, the delay had been
helpful in that it gave new mem
bers of Congress a chance to un-
derstand the provisions in the
new labor bill.

than those in large cities and centers
of wealth.
About half of the states have no
mental health clinic services for chill
dren at all.
In three-fourths of the states
there are more than 10000 children
for every pediatrician. General
practitioners carry the main load in
providing medical care to children.
Yet, nearly half of all general phys
icians have had little or no hospital
training in pediatrics before enter
ing practice.
Dental services for children are
shockingly lacking in many states,
especially in the south, and more
especially for Negro children in the
south. The lower the state per
capita income, the less care children
get from private dentists. New
York has eight times as many den
fists in relation to children as has
South Carolina.
Public-health nursing service is in
complete or totally lacking in three
out of every five American counties.
