of unemployed workers in Toledo reached the new
high of II 000 And with the school coming to
end it feared that this number will to the stagger
ing figure of $1,000 within the next couple of weeks.
Certainly these are records" we don't need I'm
fortunately, however, there to be nothing in the
ofng that would indicate concerted action the
part of anyone provide jobs for these obess thousands
On the contrary every indication points to increased
employment not only in Toledo and Ohio but through
out the entire nation.
National CIO leaders, again warning against
this developments issued another statement pointing out
to increase the purchasing power of the working
people 1t plain that unless this is done
serious economic depression is inevitable Business
simply hope maintain the exorbitant prices and
phenomenal profits of today
How people buy the things they need if they
cannot afford it?

FEPC Bill Wins
First Round

WASHINGTON (LPA) - A
House Labor subcommitte last
week voted approval of the fair
employment practice bill. Both
AFL and CIO witnesses had ap-
peared in support of the measure
at hearings conducted by sub
committee chairman Rep. Adam
Clayton Powell ID, N.Y..
Next hurdle for the anti-dis-
elimination measure is the full
Labor Committee. It's fate there
depends upon how many north
ern Republicans are willing to
join with the pro-labor Demo
cratic bloc in supporting it.
Prospects seem good that enough
will.
Then the bill comes before
the House Rules Committee, for
assignment of final debate time.
This committee is we'll stacked
with southern Democratic op-
ponents of FEPC and the COP
wheel horses most anxious to
keep the Republican-Dixiecrat
coalition in tact.
FEPC supporters point out
that under the new House rules
they can get the bill to the floor
three weeks if the Rules
Committee tries to stall. They
are hopeful of passage in the
House this session, but concede
that there is no chance of SEN
ate action.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1949-06-10

the Thomas-Lesinski bill -
the measure AFL, ClO and
President Truman have been
supporting - will be necessary
to secure its passage.
A hard core of Dixlecrats
were unwilling to cooperate
with their Democratic colleagues
in trying to work out bill sub
stantially honoring the party's S
campaign pledge to repeal the
anti-union law. And the pro-
labor Democrats were divided
somewhat among themselves as
to actly what amendments
they would support.
Sentiments h crystallized,
however, in support of fiv e
amendments to the Thomas
Lesinski bill They would:
/. Require unions to file fl
nancial statements with the fed
eral government.
2. Guarantee free speesh to
both workers and employers,

the Thomas-LeSinSkl Bill and
his own bill, H.R. 4811.
There are five main differ
ences, he stated. ID The Burke
Bill spells out all sections in
stead Of reenacting the Wagner
Act by reference. (2) In so do
ing, the technical language is
improved and brought up to
date. I'D Board procedures are
outlined in more detail. a. The
so-called employees freedom of
speech clause is included, with
out however, giving employers
the Taft-Hartley exemption
from rules of evidence. (5) The
National Emergency section is
completely new.
Compulsory Bargaining
Instead of the injunction, the
Burke Bill proposes compulsory
bargaining for a 60-day period
under the National Emergency
clause. When a work stoppage
endangers the national safety or
security, the President would,
by proclamation, declare ma
tional emergency and call upon
management and labor to con-
tinue or resume work and op-
erations for so days, or until the
dispute is settled, whichever pc
riod is shorter.
During the so days, daily ne
gotiating sessions are required
