TRIBUTE PAID DEWEY
ON HIS Goth BIRTHDAY

New York (LPA)-When famed
liberal philosopher-educator John
Dewey reaches his Goth birthday
Oct. 20 the event will be celebrated
throughout the country with the
leaders of organized labor paying
tribute to Professor Dewey's con-
tributions to American progress.
Leaders of both the AFL and the
CIO already have issued state
ments expressing their apprecia-
ton of Professor Dewey's achieve
ments.
Highlight of the three-day cele-
bration will be a dinner at the
Hotel Commodore here on Thurs
day night Oct. 20. Other dinners
and meetings for the grand old
man of American education will be
held at colleges and universities
throughout the US and abroad.
In a message to the John Dewey
Dinner Committee, President Will
lam Green of the American Feder-
alton of Labor declared:
"No one can adequately appraise
the value of the service Professor
Dewey has rendered in an educa-
tional, scientific and thought-pro-
voking field. He has stimulated
sound thinking and more clear
understanding of social, economic
and scientific problems. | wish for
him enjoyment of good health and
happiness.
President Jacob S. Potofsky of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers said Professor Dewey "is a
symbol of all that is great in the
realm of intellect and spirit" who
has spoken out for tolerance and
understanding" and "has
influenced the present generation
as much if not more than any
single American"
Among others praising Professor
Dewey were President David Dub
insky of the Int'l Ladies Garment
Workers, Victor Reuther, education
director of the United Auto Work
ers and George M. Harrison, pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Clerks.

America cannot and will not per-
nit any wage cut, whether disguis-
ed by the false principle of contri-
butory pensions and insurance or
otherwise" he announced.
Murray stressed, as he had be-
fore, that many of the top execu-
tives of the steel companies looked
forward to huge pensions, some of
them better than $4,000 a year, to
which they contributed nothing.
obviously" he said, "the indus
try cannot validly maintain nom
contributory and munificent pen
sions for their high-paid executives
and at the same time assert that
principle compels contributions by
their workers to modest pensions" !"
Murray's formal broadcast was
substantially restatement of
what he said the day before when
he addressed a mass meeting of
$4,000 cheering strikers at Youngs-
town, Ohio.
The Youngstown speech was the
first of a series of informal
speeches he was scheduled to make
in important steel centers.

Strike Ends At
Singer Plant

Elizabeth, N. j. (LPA)-A "a
week strike at the Singer sewing
machine plant here was ended Oct.
II after more than 5000 members
of United Electrical Workers voted
to accept a contract which contain
ed some improvements but contin-
ued an incentive piecework system
that the union had charged was a
speedup.
About 1000 workers not under
the incentive plan will receive wage
boosts of from two to six cents an
hour, but no general wage increase
was granted. Vacation benefits and
work provisions were improved,
with a three-week vacation for
many of the employees. Better SEN
iority and grievance rules were
provided.
The contract covering the 5000
Elizabeth workers follows pat
tern set last week at much small
er Singer plant in Bridgeport,
Conn.

Restore The Independent Retail
Stores Or Foce Monopoly ShockIes

Washington (LPA "A warning
from a spokesman for small busi-
ness that Americas future depends
upon the break up Of monopolies
and "chain-storeism" highlighted
the first week of hearings on in
vestment problems by the Joint
Congressional Economic Commit
tee.
Ed. WINNER, vice president Of
the Natl Federation Of Independ-
ent Business, Inc, told the sub
committee headed by Sen. Joseph
c. O'Mahoney Cd, Wyo.) that 'the
whole future of our nation is de-
pendent upon what we do to stem
the tide of chainism, and what we
do to restore independent retailing
to the Main Streets Of America"
WINNER contended that without
small, Independent retail outlets,
there was no hope for small manu-
facturers to survive in competi-
tion with the big monopolistic
manufacturers. Calling for govern
ment action to protect independent
he said such men could
"run rings around the giant chains
if he is not handicapped by the
shackles Of special privileges en-
joyed by the chains"
At the same time, WINNER de-
manded action to break up big
monopolies, patterned on the death
sentence clause Of the utility hold
ing company law. He contended
the dupont empire was "too big"
to be allowed to control General
Motors, which in turn was "too
big" to be allowed to 90 into the
refrigeration business and control
the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation.
Turning again to the chains,
WINNER said APP had destroyed
the jobs and investments Of mil
lions of Americans by using weap-
ons that no small store could fight.
To encourage the growth of small

the first $50, Geo of income

trust law and the dissolution Of
pig monopolies.

UNIONS CAUSE "JUST"
MURRAY TELLS NATION

Pittsburgh LPA) = The United
Steelworkers will continue its
strike against the steel industry
until mutually satisfactory
agreement is arrived at between
the union and the industry, union
president Philip Murray told the
American people.
Speaking from Pittsburgh over
the American Broadcasting Co
network, Murray said, "We know
that you, the American people, will
SUPPORT the unions case. Our cause
is just and righteous. Ours is the
humanitarian goal of improving
the lot of the steelworker and of
protecting our democratic way of
life.
The broadcast included a COM
plete review of the events leading
up to the strike of half million
workers in the nations basic in
dustry. Murray related that the
steel companies had repeatedly
said a flat "No" to the unions de-
mands for better wages, and for
'non-contributory" welfare n d
pension funds.
"The plan, the incontrovertible
fact is," Murray said, "that the
steel industry, and the steel indus
try alone, has deliberately forced
this strike upon the union and upon
the American people"
Murray, president of the Steel
workers union, went back over the
whole period of negotiations and
strike postponements. He empha-
sized that the union had postponed
the strike three times at the re-
quest of President Truman.
The union agreed readily to sub
nit its case to a Presidential fact
finding board, Murray said, but the
President himself had to go out of
his way to persuade the industry
to agree to cooperate in any degree
with the board.
When the board made its recon-
mendations the union agreed to
them Immediately, Murray declar-
ed, even though it meant foregoing
a needed wage increase, in the ma
tional interest.
The industry, however, bluntly
refused to accept the boards re-
commentator that a four-cent-an-
hour welfare plan and six-cent-
an-hour pension plan be instituted
on a non-contributory basis, Muir
ray recalled, although the board
demonstrated that the plans could
be established and steel prices
could be reduced at the same time.
"No amount of double-talk, "
Murray declared, "can conceal the
fact that it is the industry's stub
born refusal to agree upon reason
able terms of settlement which has
brought about this strike"
Murray showed that the indus
try's insistence upon employe con-
tributions to welfare and pensions
above the 10 cent total would re-
suit in a slash in take-home pay.

Pre- mier Einar Herharsen's
Labor-Socialist government seemed
certain to emerge with an increas-

The Liberal and Christian Peo-
