Trumun Luuds Union In
Tdlk To Newspaper Union

Washington (LPA) = President
Truman praised the Guild and
! other American unions for their
work with the free trade union
movement in other countries, in
an address before the 18th annual
convention of the American News
paper Guild on June 28. This was
Truman's first appearance before
a union convention since he took
office.
Nothing is more vital to the
cause of free institutions every
where than this work of our labor
unions, said the President. 'In
many countries, working men and
women have been the object of in
tensive propaganda and infiltra
tion by the Communist movement.
Our free trade unions better than
anyone else can effectively demon
strate to these people that the
Communists are not interested in
their welfare, but only in using
them to further the imperialistic
designs of an aggressive foreign
power"
Americas unions, he said, "can
best show the workers of other
lands that the democratic way, not
the Communist way, is the road to
real economic advancement. Out of
our own experience we know what
can be done to improve the econ
omic conditions of working people" )"
The Communists, he said, play on
"the honest dissatisfaction" of peo-
pie in many areas of the world,
and also use the weapon of fear.
'The recent unprovoked invasion
of the Republic of Korea by Com
munist armies is an example of
the danger to which the underde-
veloped areas of the world are ex-
posed"
We must prevent such aggression
and enforce the principles of the
United Nations charter, he said.
"We must and we shall give every
possible assistance to people who
are determined to maintain their
independence. We must counteract
the Communist weapon of fear"
Creating defenses against ag-'
gression, he said, must not be our
only task! Our whole purpose in
creating strong defense is to
permit us to carry on the great
constructive tasks of peace. Behind
the shield of a strong defense, we
must continue to work to bring
about better living conditions in
the free nations"
We must, he continued, give aid
to the under-developed areas, to
increase their independence, so
important to the defense of all
free nations against Communist
aggression. 1t is important to the
economic progress of the free
world. And these things are good
for us as well as good for them."
That was why, in his inaugural
address, he had recommended his
Point Four, he said, and went on
to give an account of how such
aid has already worked, as a "pre-
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1950-07-06

view of what full-scale Point
Four program can mean in the fu-
ture." He mentioned projects in
northern India, Iran, and Liberia as
examples. Point Four, he said, "is
an investment in a peaceful and
prosperous world.
Not to carry out the Point -Four
program, he said, would be to run
the risk of losing to Communism
by default, Hundreds of millions
of people who now look to us fol-
help in their struggle against
hunger and despair"
He said "you newspaper men and
women can help Point Four to ac-
hieve it's aims by telling it's story
to the American people and to the
people of the world"
The President seemed in excel
lent spirits as he entered the hall
to the applause of the 400 who
were to hear him. He wore light
gray summer suit, light blue shirt
blue bow tie, and black and white
shoes. He was accompanied by
three military aides, and Charles
Ross, his press secretary-and the
usual Secret Service men.
All radio networks carried his
address, and six news cameras foe
used on him from one corner.
He was escorted by Harry Mar
tin, president of the American
Newspaper Guild. After his talk he
was introduced to all members of
the international Executive Board
of the Guild.

Bottle Blowers
Refite tn Act
Green Declares

Columbus, Ohio (LPA) = The
Glass Bottle Blowers Ass'n-AFL is
Giving refutation of the basic pre-
mise of the Taft Hartley act" AL
President William Green declared
in a speech to the unions conven-
ton here. Green was referring to
their no-strike policy and their
generally good relations with en-
ployers.
The TIL law, he said, "is based
upon the assumption that our trade
union movement is guilty of wrong
doing against industry and the
public and it proceeds to punish
organized labor severely for those
alleged sins. l challenge ex-Con-
gressman Hartley and soon-to- be
ex-senator Taft to find anfthing in
the record of the Glass Bottle
Blowers Assn that justifies the
cruel and unwarranted restrictions
contained in their infamous law.
"Yet you and many other unions
with comparably fine records are
forced to suffer by the Taft-Hart-
ley acts sweeping provisions de-
signed to make strong unions weak
and weak unions weaker"
The Glass Bottle Blowers Assn
was founded in 1916 and has car
ried on nationwide bargaining in
the industry since 1885. In that
time there has never been a gen.
eral strike in the industry.
Since Lee Minton, 3S, the young
est international president in the
AFL, was elected head of the glass
blowers in 1916, the union has been
conducting an extensive campaign
to get the public to use glass bot
ties, rather than paper or plastic
containers. The union has $4,000
members.
Other speakers at the convention
included Assistant Labor Secretary
Ralph Wright who attacked the
"red smear" campaigns against the
State Department, and Joseph
keenan,, director of Labor's Lea
que for Political Education, who
asked for a precinct captain from
labor's ranks in each of the $4,000
precincts in the country. In the
past, keenan, said, less than 35%
of labor registered and only 500
of these actually voted.
Demand the Union Label.

Declares Gompers
Would Have Been
For Welfare State

Tamiment, Pa. (LPA)-If Sam
uel Gompers were alive today, he
would undoubtedly be classified as
believer in the welfare state,
DR.. Harry Ladder, executive direc-
tor Of the League for Industrial
Democracy, told the Tamiment In
stitute of Social Science meeting
here.
"Many friends of Gompers-of
which | am one," DR.. Ladder said,
"are convinced that if he had lived
through the depression of the thir-
ties and the postwar period, he
would have approved the stand
taken by present AFL leaders in
behalf of Fair Deal legislation"
Ladder based these conclusions
'pn the evolution of Gompers' poll
tical thinking during his lifetime.
He pointed out that the AFL
founders lukewarm attitude to-
ward social legislation at the end
Of the last century was due to early
experience with political action by
the Cigar Workers Union and the
Knights Of Labor.
Gompers' final goal, stated in
his last speech to an AFL conven-
tion in 1924, was human well-being
in the fullest sense. "He would
urge organized labor and all true
democrats today to follow the
paths which their judgment and
experience convinced them would
lead to the greatest progress, con-
cluded Mr.. Ladder.

of the two days-July 90 or 80.

CUSTER OF 157 FOES OF
ANTI-RED OATH UPHELD

Los Angeles (LPA)-The recon-
mendation of President Robert
Gordon Sproul of the University OF
California that 157 employees be
dismissed has been upheld by the
board of regents. The 157, both
faculty and other employees, refus-
ed to sign a special oath declaring
they are non-Communists. Sproul
said 1868 other employees signed
such oaths. OF the "a members of

ing Gov. Earl Warren, chairman,
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, and
Edwin w. Pauley, oil executive.
print mills, located in this country,
should be developed, Smith urged.
Smith agreed with Chairman En-
anuel Celler Cd, N.Y. of the mono
poly committee that the reluctance
of publishers to testify is "evid-
ence of a very unsatisfactory and
liaison that exists be-
tween the publishers and the news
print industry "a serious situa-
ton"

WOMEN IN
INDUSTRY

Census Bureau reports on en-
ployment of women in April, 1850
show their number has risen by 5H
million in the decade since the last
regular census. In general the
greatest relative increases were
among white-collar workers. Wo-
men in the managerial group more
than doubled, though they still
were very small proportion OF
the whole.
Clerical workers, the largest oc-
cupation group both in 1910 and
1850, and sales workers increased
by about 80 percent. The gain
among professional and semipro-
fessional workers was much less
marked. Manual workers Opera
tives, etc. increased by about 45
percent and service workers not in
homes by about 60 percent. Only
domestic service workers showed a
decline.
Average hourly earnings in the
beauty service industry in New
York state in February was $1.03,
excluding tips, State Labor De-
partment survey shows. They were
81 cents in March, 1913 and 81
cents in February, 1947, Industrial
Commissioner Edward Corsi said.
Four-fifths of the $4,000 en-
ployes of the 6,70O beauty shops
in the state are women. Between
March, 1948 and February, 1850,
women's median hourly earnings
rose from 80 to 80 cents. In Feb
ruary, 1850, IL percent of the
women earned less than rs cents
an hour, compared with 25 percent
in 1948 and 35 percent in 1947.
In 1947, Ia percent of all work
ers in the industry earned less
than 60 cents an hour. In 1948,
however, after the Industrial Com
missioner issued a revised mini
mum wage order, the proportion
fell to 8 percent and in 1850 it
dropped to 1 percent.
International regulations design
ed to guarantee equal pay for wo-
men are under discussion at the
33rd general conference of the In
ternational Labor Organization,
which opened at Geneva, Switzer-
land, June 7.
The question of equal remuner-
alton for work of equal value is
one of 8 items on the agenda of
the session, which brought togeth-
er government, worker and en-
ployer delegates from most of the
60 member countries.
Eleven countries answering an
ILO questionable said til y
thought the proposed regulations
should take the form of an inter
national convention which coun-
tries would subsequently be called
upon to ratify and implement. Nine
countries favored the less binding
form of a recommendation.
The delegates are to decide be-
fore adjournment July ! whether
the regulations will go before the
1851 conference for final action.
They will also attempt to reach
agreement on list Of points to be
covered.

Unionists Tells
Doctors How
Wrong They Are

San Francisco (LPA)-The ma
tion's organized doctors were told
some unpalatable truths by union
spokesman at the annual conven-
tion of the American Medical As
sociation here June 25. And they
were given without sugar coating.
Harry Becker, social security dir
ector of the United Auto Workers,
told the medicos the kind of fight
they are putting up against ma
tional health insurance is under
mining public confidence in doc
tors. He especially hit the AMA's
distribution of more than a million
copies Of the John T. Flynn book,
"The Road Ahead" which Becker
termed "a book of half truths and
scare words" promoted by the
Committee for Constitutional Gov
ernment. CCG, he pointed out,
Stands for much that would make
most physicians cringe with en-
DarrasSment.
The millions of dollars which
ANA is spending in the fight
against national health insurance
actually "has promoted public
awareness of the insurance idea
and the advantages of prepay
ment," Becker told the doctors.
"The ANA, therefore, deserves
not -often-expressed credit for help
ing to sell health insurance to the
American people and for making
our Congress aware that certain
national health problems do exist,
and that they exist as public is
Sues"
Timed to coincide with the open
ing of its convention, ANA ann
ounced it will spend $1,110,000 in
the month before the fall elections,
on a giant advertising campaign
in newspapers and on the radio,
"to alert the American people to
the danger of socialized medicine
and to the threatening trend to-
ward state socialism in this coun-
try"
Becker asked the doctors wheth-
er ANA approval of private-p profit
insurance m p a ny prepayment
plans might not be "given in
exchange for their opposition to
national health insurance rather
than on the merit of their pro
grams"
Even the Blue Shield medical
care plans, which are doctor-con-
trolled and AMA-endorsed, are not
satisfactory for the million-odd
UAW members for whom the union
is negotiating, Becker said. Blue
Shield, like the insurance company
plans, "falls far short of meeting
requirements for prepaid medical
care programs when measured by
the yardstick used by the ANA in
evaluating national health insur-
ance proposals." according to the
UAW spokesman.
There can't be complete and mod
ern medical care available for
every American, Becker warned
the DOCTORS" unless there is the
kind of understanding which per-
mits the workers in the shop and
on the farms and the physicians of
America to work together. For the|
successful planning and admins
tration of prepaid medical care
programs requires the teamwork
of the physicians who provide thel
care and the people who pay thel
costs"
