Textile Union Counsel
|Indorses Taft's Ideas
On Labor Act Chances

An official of one of the CLOS
major unions yesterday indorsed
changes in the Taft-Hartley Act
along the lines suggested by Sena-
tor Taft, Republican, of Ohio.
Isadore Katz. general counsel
Of the Textile Workers Union,
told a news conference that
amendments Senator Taft has
proposed to the labor relations
law would be helpful to the
union in fighting what he called
"feudalism" practiced by en-
ployers in the South.
Senator Taft was the No.
target of organized labor in last
weeks national elections. Des-
pite the union opposition, he won
reelection by a record majority.
Satisfied By Statements.
"We support the Taft amend
ments as far as they co." Mr..
Katz said. "We are satisfied from
Senator Taft's statements (made
since the election) that he is
still willing to amend the law.
The Taft amendments would be
helpful"
The Ohio Republican last year
supported % amendments to the
labor law that bears his name.
The bill Incorporating the changes
was passed by the Senate but was
bottled up in the House. Action
on the bill by the House in the
forthcoming session of the pres
ent Congress is possible but un-
likely.
Mr.. Katz and John Edelman,
Washington representative of the
textile union. blamed the Taft
Hartley Act for the fact that only
Is per cent of the South's textile
workers are organized. He said
that anti-union employers use the
law to block unionization efforts.
The Taft amendments. he said,
would help correct the situation.
118-Page Brief Filed.
The union filed a 118-page brief
with the Senate Labor Committee
charging that Southern employers
used the following anti-union
practices on q wide scale:
Gunplay by police in company
owned mill villages. publication Of
"hate sheets" to "distort. lie and
mislead the people to believe
unionization is evil. violent and
anti-social";; eviction Of union
members from company-owned
houses: the stirring up of race
hate. and the complete subservi-
ence of some clergymen to the
company viewpoint.
Mr.. Katz said labor in the South
needs most change in the So
called free speech" clause Of
Taft Hartley. He said 1t should
be amended so that the National
Labor Relations Board could con-
slider "the coercive circumstances"
under which many employer
"anti-union" statements are made
In deciding whether an unfair
labor practice had been COM
mitted.
He added the belief that Sen
ator Taft would "go along with"
the suggested amendment.

Short Duration OF

Campaign Issue

Washington (LPA) = The wage

control sections of the Defense
Production act, finally approved or
voice votes, Sept. will extend fol
only 10 months-until July 1, 1851
Other sections Of the bill which
give the President powers to en-

date only in carrying out of gov

fore July l, 1851.
This short duration of the pow

certain that home-front controls

will be elected in November. Rep

that Congress will have an oppor-

1916 when successful attempts
were made to cripple OPA controls

Typo Union Will
Back Papers To
Break Monopolies

Washington (LPA) - A green
light to continue establishment of
rival newspapers in communities
where the union is on strike was
given by delegates at the closing
Sessions of the annual convention
here of the International Typo
graphical Union-AFL.
A report by the committee on
defense, approved by the conven-
tion, declared that the unions eX-
ecutive council should keep up and
expand "the policy of encouraging
competition to unfair publishers in
struck and locked-out cities and
towns"
Liberal, Independent newspapers
in the daily and weekly fields are
|needed to combat reactionary pro-
paganda of monopoly publications, "
the committee said. while it is
admitted that this defense activity
is expensive, we sincerely believe
the results to be most effective in
preventing future disputes as well
as helping to solve local problems. "
Also, the convention authorized
cooperation with the American
Newspaper Guild in helping to
launch new papers in one-news-
paper monopoly towns.
The report added that "all pre-
sent and future lockouts and
strikes must be won"
additional assessments to pro
tect our integrity may become nee
essary before we are able to sue
cessfully combat the efforts of our
enemies to destroy US. The collec-
tive bargaining policy of the ITU
stands for neither appeasement nor
lcompromise of principles"

Excess Profit Tax
Put Off To Winter

Washington (LPA)-Any chance
of enactment Of an excess profits
tax before January 1851 was kill
ed Sept. /, when the Senate voted
AZ to Sc, in favor Of an amendment
to the tax bill proposed by Sena-
tors George Cd, Ga.) and Millkir
Or, Colo.). The amendment direct
ed the House and Senate tax-wrlt-
ing committee to report to the Con
gress that convenes in January q
bill levying excess profits taxes or
income of corporations back as fai
as either July / or October /, 1850
On the roll-call vote, II Demo
Gratis and 21 Republicans voted foi
postponement, while 26 Democrats
and 10 Republicans opposed it.
"This is simply a delaying
amendment" Sen. Tom Connally
Cd, Tex charged in last-minute
appeal for an profits tax
now. at is a rear guard action"
"You can't put off the Korean
war" the veteran Texas Senator
told his colleagues. "You can't put
off the necessity for increased
taxes. But you can put off the pro
fiteers that are going to make
tremendously more money thar
they made last year" Under the
law as presented to the Senate
Connally warned, profiteers' taxes
would be, in effect, decreased.
Connally said that earlier in his
career he'd occasionally handled
criminal cases. The George Milliliir
proposal, he said, is like a motion
for continuance made by a lawyer
with a poor case, "in the hope some
of the witnesses will die"
As soon as they received word of
the defeat Of the Senate excess pro.
fits amendment, four members OF
the House taX-wrlting committee
ANNOUNCED they intended to use
call possible parliamentary pro-
cedures to insure that the House
has an opportunity to register its
will on enactment of an excess
profits tax before adjournment OF
the 8lst Congress"
They are not expected to be sue
cessful, unless the Congress stays
in Washington longer than is now
anticipated. 1t is the hope of House
Democratic leaders that the Senate
tax bill, which theoretically is a
rewrite Of a House bill, started be-
fore the Korean war, will go dir
ectly from the Senate floor to a
conference between the two houses.
Under this .setup there is no chance
Of writing in the excess profits tax
proposal.

"Toryism breeds Communism"
Green declared, contending that
the threat of "internal subversion"
by the Communists must be met asl
forthrightly as the external on
slaughts." Accordingly, he said,
Americans must Substitute free,
progressive governmental policies
for the kind of Toryism practiced
by the last two Congresses"
Green called upon all good trade
unionists to go to the polls in this
falls Congressional elections. "If
we can attain a maximum registra-
tion and full vote on Nov. 7, we
will certainly elect a new, liberal
Congress which will restore labor's
freedoms and strengthen America
for the critical days ahead" he
said.
Green referred knowingly to Sam
uel Gompers, first president of the
AFL whose centennial anniversary
is being celebrated this year. He
pointed out that Gompers was
among the first to recognize the
danger of Communism. Under
Gompers, Green recalled, "the AM
erican Federation of Labor fought
and defeated innumerable efforts
of the Communists to bore from
within our beloved trade union
movement" This Labor Day was
celebrated as a Samuel GomperS
Labor Day.
In closing, Green warned the
Communists that American work
ers would fight aggression and die

their strength" Finally he re-,
minded his listeners to be "good(
citizens" and vote. The speech was
broadcast by the American Broad

Golfers Lauds
Retail Clerks And
Auto Workers

New York City, (LPA)-"Coll-
ier's" which has tossed brickbats
galore at trade unions, came out
with a couple of bouquets for a
change. Its Sept. 8 issue threw
some flowers at Local 8 of the Re-
tail Clerks-AFL and at the United
Automobile Workers.
The magazine started off with a
lead article entitled Miracle of
Local 9" and wound up on its last
page with an editorial praising
the UAW for its five-year agree
ment with General Motors.
Local 9 is the union which
sprang into the headlines some
months ago when it launched an
advertising c m p a G n, financed
from its own treasury, to drum up
customers for the employer of its
members = Wanamaker's Depart
ment store. The splurge in Coll
ier's is the first big play the local
has received in a large national
magazine,
Paul P. Milling, dynamic presi-
dent of Local 8, is given credit for
the scheme. Milling got the union
to launch the advertising campaign
when the management, skittish be-
cause of a business recession last
year, cut down on its advertising
budget. All told, the union spent
$4,000 on "ads" in papers and on
direct-mail promotion.
That $4,000 took 80 per cent of
the locals treasury, but it paid off
big, says Golfers. 1t got "more
business for Wanamaker's and fat
ter pay envelopes for members Of
the union" Also, the unions trea-
sury is "again in healthy state. +"
The local operates on the slogan
that whats good for management
is good for labor" says Golfers.
That doesn't mean any Sweet
heart" arrangement, the magazine
is careful to stress.
On the contrary, it describes
Milling as a hard bargainer, who
has won pace-setting wage in
creases and social welfare benefits.
1t declares Salaries at Wanamak-
er's, as a percentage to sales, are
among the highest, if not the high
est, of any department store in the
country. The average weighted
salary is $57 week with the min
imum set at $35. Five years ago
the minimum was little over SIC.
!. Over five per cent of the COM
pany's payroll goes to social bene-
fits"
In it's editorial, Golfers halls the
UAW-G General Motors five-year
agreement as "a happy illustration
of good management relations" and
of "good human relations"
"This American Five-Year plan
may not be the key to industrial
peace" the magazine observes.
"Yet there were factors underly-
ing it which might serve as a pat
tern for the whole complex rela-
tionship of employer and employe
at time when uninterrupted pro-
duction can once more be matter
of life and death.
"One Of the factors was good
faith. Another was confidence. A
third was wisdom, a rather uncom-

Green Pledges AFL To Freedoms
Defense At Big Lobor Doy Rally

Chicago (LPA)-The production
army on the home front must fight
in cooperation with the military
forces on the battle lines until
Communism and all totalitarianism
are destroyed, AFL President Will
lam Green said on Labor Day.
Speaking, before huge rally at
mammoth Soldiers Field here, the
veteran AFL leader pledged the
Federation to "full support of our
government in the defense of free
dom, liberty and democracy" The
efforts of Russia to establish Com
munist control in Korea and else
where must be resisted in full, he
said.
Green declared the international
Communist conspiracy was deter
mined to dominate and control the
entire world by any means, includ-
ing third World War" Accord
ingly, he said, there was no time
to be lost in efforts at appease-
ment. 'We must build up such
overwhelming superiority of mill
tary power that even our most des-
perate enemies will realize the fu-
tility of starting a new world war, y
he told the crowd.
AS a result of the CLOS drive to
oust the Communists, organized
labor in America today stands free
of the Red taint," the AFL head
pointed out. "America's greatest
asset in the defense program is the
unquestioned and whole-souled 10y
atty of its great army of workers
to our free American institutions. y
Shifting to the US political
scene, Green denounced industrial
and political leaders, especially the
"Dixiecrat Republican coalition"
for failing to recognize what an
asset labor's loyalty is. "Their
shortsightedness is astounding"
Green said. He pointed out that in
Russia oppression under the Tsars
led to Communism. He added that
Toryism in Great Britain forced the
labor movement "into the camp of
the Socialists" Certain American
industrial and political leaders, he
said "have placed labor under the
yoke of the Taft Hartley act and
created new threat to the entire
free enterprise SYSTEM"
