maritime committee, Curran pre-
sented a statement by the Ameri-

James r. Gormley, Baltimore
agent of the independent Marine
Firemen, west coast union, echoed
Curran by saying that the hiring
hall stabilized the maritime indus
try and produced competent, re-
liable crews for whom the union
was responsible. The Pacific Mari
time Association, an employer
group, proposed that the unions be
made liable for all lawsuits brought
by seamen who thought they'd been
denied jobs through the hiring hall.

elsewhere donate their services,
working such long hours that at
the plant such overtime would run
into money. Fred Aenis is head
cook.
AS we sat in the union office
shop stewards and officers paused
in the midst of busy day for a
few words. Raymond Travnik,
Local president, was in the hospi-
tai, but we had a word with O. +.
Zimmerman, vice president. He's
worked over 20 years for the COM
pany, and in the old days knew
Gene Debs. "The labor movement
never had anyone like him." says
Zimmerman. We also chatted with
AL Brooks, recording secretary;
Herman Holbrook, strike commit
tee chairman; and Arthur Sullivan
and Art Wilde, picket chairmen
"This local is old-fashioned," they
explained. Everyone is expected tt
do picket duty. We have $50 men a
day picketing. There are three
gates to the plant and our picket
have four-hour shifts. We believe
picketing makes for better morale.
A man comes to the union hall and
he gets to know people and he can
tell his troubles if he wants to.
The workers from different shops
get to know each other and learn
what's going on. We think wher
workers are spread out like they
are in Detroit, if they don't have
something to bring them to the
union hall they are apt to lose
touch with the strike. That's what
we think and that's how we act.
We're old fashioned"
Another man took up the story.
"Of course, the counsellors are a
lot of help in maintaining morale.
We have five, handling welfare,
legal aid, disqualification, social
security-there's no problem the
members can't get advice about"
Later we went to visit a picket
hut, a snug wooden hut built by
the union. These men picket IL
hours at a stretch. At night there
are only token pickets.

Lawmakers Probe
Discrimination
Against Workers

Boston (LPA) = Legislatures II
Massachusetts, Rhode Island anc
New York are waking up to the
fact that employers discriminate
against older workers, and they
may do something about it.
At recent hearings before the
Massachusetts, legislatures labor
|committee, union representatives
and others supported bills outlaw
ling discrimination against workers
between As and 65. Meanwhile
Francis +. Kelley, Bay State At
torney general, proposed the State
Fair Employment Practices Com
mission be empowered to investi-
|gate cases of discrimination be-
cause of age as well as discrimin-
|ation because of race or religion.
In the Rhode Island legislature
Rep. John j. Wrenn, Providence
Democrat, has sponsored a bill bar
ring discrimination by industry
|against persons 40 years old OF
|older. His measure would auth
orize a study group to require at
tendance of witnesses by subpoena
and the production of books, papers
and documents. The study group
would report on age discrimination
to the 1851 Legislature. Wrenn says
it's practically impossible" for
workers between 40 and so to find
jobs in number of Rhode Island
plants. As a result, relief costs
mount when the older workers ex-
haust their savings.
In Albany, n. Y, Thomas c.
Desmond, Republican state senator
from Newburgh, said bills to end
discrimination against older work
ers may be introduced in the New
York State Legislature next year.
Desmond, chairman of the joint
Legislative committee on problems
of the aging, says industry is unit
ed, in it's opposition to legislation
compelling it to hire older workers.
This attitude has delayed action
until 1861 but Desmond hopes in
dustry will improve matters volun-
tarily.
Desmond reports that in Decem-
ber, l949, more than 16 per cent
Of those in New York state who ex-
hausted their unemployment bene-
fits were as to 55 years old; up
wards of 20 per cent were 55 to GA
and 27.2 per cent were 65 or over
Meanwhile, of New York's 13,000,-
900 population, 100000 are 45 or
older, and 100000 are 55 or over.
The senator thinks a breakdown is
unless business puts its
house to order.

Sentiment Gaining
For Trial Run OF
Brannan Program

Washington UPA)-A trial run
for the Brannan farm program on
potatoes is gaining ground in the
Senate. Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan has estimated it would
Ihave saved $55 million to $40 mill
ion last year.
The changing tide is evident in a
Senate Agriculture subcommittee
(which is now considering bill by
Senator Thomas (D-Okla.) to try
out the Brannan program on the
difficult potato problem and a bill
lby Democratic Leader Lucas, of
Illinois, to continue the present
price support system with produc-
tion controls.
| Even Senator Lucas, author OF
the rival plan, is wavering as re-
suit of two days Of testimony by
Brannan and his aides, in which
they have tried to explain the pro-
gram in greater detail than it has
ever before been explained to Con-
gress.
Senators who have never before
quite understood how the costs of
the Brannan program would be
compensated by lower food prices
for consumers are beginning to
understand the Secretary's plan.
On the second day of Brannan's
testimony, Senator Aiken (R-Vt)t
author of the Republican farm pro-
gram, was in the position over and
over again of defending the Bran
nan plan against phoney objections
raised by Senators who did not
understand it.
Brannan argued that even if his
Estimates of the cost of the Bran
nan program were doubled, it still
would cost much less than the pre-
sent program has cost for potatoes
during the past two years.
"No plan is omnipotent", he adj
mitted. 'But this plan would per-
NIT a reasonably diligent farmer ia
get fair return for his years
work without unduly penalizing
the rest of the population"
When Chairman Ellender ID
La.) complained that in his cost
estimates Brannan had made lot
of assumptions. Brannan replied
drily we're got to assume there
will be a potato. Of course there
are assumptions"
Asked by Aiken whether it would
not be better to drop price supports
for potatoes, Brannan said: 81 don't
want to walk off and leave the
potato growers without any pro-
lection, even though a year or two
more of the experiences such as we
have had may destroy the whole
crop support program for every
one"

curron Opens Fight For Hiring
HoII Before Senufe Committee

Washington LPA) = Senator
Forrest Donnell displayed all the
seafaring knowledge of a mule
from his native Missouri when he
tangled with big Joe Curran, pres
ident of the National Maritime
Union, on the hiring hall issue.
At a hearing before the Senate
subcommittee on Labor Manage
ment Relations, Curran told the
clustering Republican lawmaker,
who sits right behind Bob Taft in
Labor's doghouse, that if seamen's
unions are denied their hiring halls
because of the Taft Hartley act,
shipowners soon will be hiring men
through "crimp joints" as they. did
in the old days. If this happens,
all the gains won by maritime
unions will be wiped out, the NMU
leader indicated.
Curran offered new version of
the bill introduced last year by Sen.
Warren G. Magnuson Cd, WASH
amending the Taft Hartley act to
permit the union hiring hall on the
waterfront. Complaints had been
aired that the Magnuson bill, in
troduced in the House by Rep. John
Lesinski Cd, Mich.), was loosely
drawn and might be applicable to
other maritime occupations than
seafaring. Curran's proposal clear
Ily limits it's application to seamen.
Exactly what Donnell was trying
to accomplish by his clustering
tactics was not clear but apparent
ly he was trying to prove that the
NMU can bulldoZe a shipping COM
pany into hiring men it doesn't
want. Curran, insisting that the
NMU contract calls for a prefer
ential" shop rather than a union
shop, presented texts of the unions
standard agreements to show that
the company can reject man sent
to ship from the rotary shipping
list under a hiring hall clause and
that union objections to the COM
pany's attitude can be referred to
well-established grievance machin-
ery-after the ship has sailed with
replacement. He also cited in
stances.
The hiring hall became an issue
this winter when the Supreme
Court refused to review a lower
court decision outlawing the MINUS
Great Lakes hiring practices under
the Taft Hartley act. Union attor-
neys have petitioned the high court
for a re-hearing. The Magnuson+
Lesinski bill was drafted last year
in anticipation of adverse rulings
in the courts.
Magnuson himself preceded Cur
ran before the committee, which is
surveying the effects of the Taft
Hartley act on trade unions and
labor relations. He said he had dis
cussed the hiring hall with spokes-
men for both labor and manage
ment, and that both sides had con-
vinced him that the union hiring
method was essential to the mari
time industry.
Curran gave the subcommittee a
vivid picture of waterfront hiring
practices before the hiring hall was
won by the unions. He said that
seamen were forced to hang around
