Union Support
For Rent Control
Is Having Effect

Quick action by trade %unionists
and others i'll opposing efforts OF
real estate group and landlord lob
bies to kill rent controls i'll many
sections OF the country is proving
effective, a survey by The Mach
mist revealed this week.
Although there is still danger that
opponents of rent control will be
able to force decontrol action in
some states, the picture was gener-
ally brighter.
In Ogden, Utah, where both the
City Commission and State Gov
ernor have voiced their Willingness
to Kill rent control, a veterans
group held a meeting unanimously
opposing such action. l. A. M.
Lodges l27, 1920 and 1880 had pre-
viously voiced their opposition.
At Fort Smith Arkansas, a series
OF meeting called to approve a real
estate lobby request Tor decontrol
action. backiired when those atten-
ding voiced their opposition and
demanded instead that controls be
continued.
Meanwhile Housing Expiditer
Tighe Woods in Washington was
under continuous pressure from the
real estate lobby for a.change in
the rules which would mean a gen.
eral rent increase OF about Il pei
cent for the entire country.

individuals cannot bargain With

write into law, provisions that

We can understand that some or

When II metal trade leaders travel 5000 miles at
the expense OF their own organizations to hold a
meeting in the Machinists Building in Washington,
there's a reason and its all important reason.
These European members OF the Central Committee
OF the lntcrnationa Metalworkers Federation came
to Washington because they want to work out with
their American brothers. i'll this case the members
oi the Machinists Union, a common policy on world
problems. They want the members as well as the
officers Of the Machinists Union to understand that
what happens III Europe depends i'll large part on
what happens to the trade unions OF Europe-including
the important metal trades unions.
By coming to the United States at this moment
OF international tension. at a time when such a trip
could only be construed in Moscow as all act OF OPP
position to Soviet plans Tor expansion, these II
union officers have demonstrated that they believe
III democracy as we know il in this country. i'll in
ivdidual liberty and collective bargaining. It j. their
way Of life. as 1t is ours.
They want us to know that the metal trades workers
OF Europe are in the fight against totalitarianism
