their costs. But TIL says all that's
impossible. You can't hire workers
in line with an agreement because
you can't have an agreement until
all the workers are already hired
and have already voted for union
shop as well as for the agreement
Here is how the July issue Of the
Hat Workers comments on the con-
fusion:
"The Presidents special panel
on atomic labor relations is cur
rently riding this legal merry go
round but has been unable to find
way out. One reported plan was
to draft a contract but to withhold
actual signatures until most Of the
work force had been recruited. II
there is no agreement by the time
construction work gets under way
the unions would be free to shut
down the project and make steep
wage demands. Another is to de-
lay recognition by appeals and deal
with the unions in the meantime.
1t must lead to a wonderful re-
spect for the law when even the
Government has to sneak through
legal loopholes in order to get
things done. A wonderful spirit

Economic Report is not legisla-
tive group and will not recommend
Ispecific measures. However, Sen.
Joseph c. O'Mahoney Cd, Wyo.) is
Lkxpected to conduct round table
Idiscussions if not actual formal
hearings to evolve a tax formula
before his committee issues for
NAL report.
According to committee econ
! Iomists, the situation shapes up
about like this: The President has
called for SO billion to meet the
Korean crisis and will request 81
or SO billion more. However, not
all of this can be expended in fiscal
1851 which began July 1. Accord
ingly, unless the world situation
worsens, an extra S5 billion in tax
revenues may be enough.
The Joint Committee discussed
the possibility of obtaining about
81 billion from personal taxes and
about So billion from corporations.
But no definite conclusions were
reached on how TO raise the money,
although increased income taxes,
excess profit taxes and excise taxes
were talked about. 1t is possible
that increases can be spread thin
ly. A number of non-military ex-
penditures will be reduced, the
committee believes. Agricultural
supports and housing payments
may drop, for instance. In addition,
more people should be working and
paying taxes. 1t is expected that
Sc million people may be employed
(of whom as many as 8 million will
be in the armed forces and be re-
latively untaxed.) However, all
estimates are subject to change
without much notice, observers
point out.

Higher Taxes Required To Meet Korean
Crisis, Congress And President Agree

her Congress votes them this sum-
mer or waits until after the elec-
tions.
The Joint Committee on the
Economic Report, top Congress

group, declared full support July II
for higher taxes and balanced
"cash budget" 10 meet military re-
quirements Of the Korean crisis
Of the committees IA members
only nine were present, but five
Republicans and four Democrats
were in informal agreement.
The day before, Rep. Robert
Doughton Cd, N.C.), veteran chair
man Of the powerful House Ways
& Means Committee, said Congress
should finance new military out
lays from taxes as far as possible.
Doughton also said a new excess
profits tax was worthy of serious
consideration"
At the same time, Sen. Walter F.
George Cd, Ga.), chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, made
no bones about saying that a "tre-
mendous" boost in both personal
and corporate taxes would be re-
quired. Meanwhile, President Tru-
man in his July 19 message to Con-
gress called for "a balanced system
Of taxation" which would distri-
butte the tax burden fairly" and
eliminate profiteering. Taxes would
be designed to prevent initiation as
well as raise revenue. Economists
have contended that during World
War ii too much reliance was plac-
ed on borrowing and not enough
on taxes. Truman was expected to
send a tax proposal to Congress
before Aug. l.

Strike Continues
Against Texas Co.

Denver LPA)-The bitter strike
of the Oil Workers against the bill
ion-dollar Texas Co. has entered
its second 100 days, with 750(
union members out. The strikers
have shut the company's plants
and kept them shut. But the mior
is having to fight not only Texaco
but the entire oil industry.
Although a large part of Texacc
refining capacity is out of opera
ton, Texaco service station pumps
are still pouring gas into auto
tanks-gas supplied to Texaco by
other firms.
To meet the customers requests
for lubricating oil, Texaco is ship
ping its .trademarked cans direct
from the can factories to refineries
of other companies, where they are
filled, and routed into Texaco's
marketing system.
Despite these obstacles, Texaco
strikers know they can force the
company to come to terms if they
hold out long enough, for refinery
equipment deteriorates seriously
after months of idleness. This is
one situation the other companies
cannot do anything about.
Chief issue is security. The
union wants job descriptions writ
ten into the contracts to prevent
speedup; provisions to restrict sup
eryisory workers from doing work
of the union men; provision against
handling certain plant maintenance
jobs by outside contractors, a gim-
mick oil companies often use to
tear down unions; more rigid
safety rules. And the union is still
trying to get Texaco to bargain on
pensions. The company has refus-
ed, and the union has filed refusal
to bargain charges with NLRB,
but Robert Denham, NLRB gener-
al counsel, is a bosom friend of
TeXaco's chief labor officer. Dem
ham is in no hurry.

NLRB Rops Denhom In Decision
To Look Info Building Trades

Washington (LPA) - The Ma
tional Labor Relations Board ha'
again overruled General Counse
Denham. 1t will investigate wheth-
er it is possible to hold NLRB cleo
tions on building and construction
jobs. Denham has said no.
The NLRB has ordered hearings
in four cases where local plumbers
unions petitioned for an election
were turned down by regional dir
ectors. The argument in all -four
cases were that "the units are in
appropriate since they do not con
form to the geographical poo
theory, including the filing by all
crafts, enunciated as the policy OF
the General Counsel with respect
to the building g-construction indus
try" The unions appealed to the
full board.
The four cases are in Baltimore
Olean, N. Y, and Oak Ridge, Tenn
The boards decision to order hear
ings does not guarantee elections
will be held, but it does mean the
board will now decide for itself
whether or not elections in the in
dustry are possible. Denham has
held that such elections are not
possible.
The confusion caused by this
angle of the Hartley act is
well illustrated in the case of a
500 million atomic project at
Arco, Idaho, where TIL has 50
,gummed up matters that even a
government agency itself is trying
to sneak through legal loopholes,
so as to get the job done.
At Arco the government needs
1000 building mechanics. The
unions need an agreement which
will tell the workers what their
wages and working conditions will
be. The contractors need informa-
tion on wages, hours and working

10000 people were turned away
from the arena, which definitely
should prove that nobody but the
Globetrotters drew the crowd that
evening, despite the fact that
some of the writer's felt maybe
the Carl Braun night festivities
might have been instrumental in
Turing such vast audience. Abe
went into the big arena at a con-
siderable loss to himself and his
organization. Originally, he was
scheduled to play that evening
in Louisville, Ky. Had he gone
through with his original pro-
motion, he stood to net close to
$4,000.
The reader can rest assured
that Ned Irish paid Mr.. Saper-
stein considerably less than $4,000
in order to give him a crack at
the so-called King of Arenas. :"
Abe is gambling fellow and
wanted to show everybody in
New York what his club could
do. Consequently, he passed up
the rich house in Louisville to
come to New York City for pea
nut money.
The fans and the writers wit
messed a sparkling exhibition of
basketball mixed with the court
tom-foolery made famous by the
Globetrotters over the years.
Now that Abe has proved his
point, you can be sure that his
team will not appear in Madison
Square Garden again unless the
price is right.

Gompers never actively asso-
ciated himself with any Jewish
cause, yet he did not deny his
Jewishness. In his autobiogra-
ply, he tells us that as child he
studied Hebrew, not he writes,
''the mongrel language spoken
and written by many Jews of the
present time but that honored
language that unlocked a litera-
ture of wonderful beauty and
wisdom" Thus, does Gompers
praise Hebrew and condemn Yid-
dish. Yiddish, "the mongrel
language" produced some pretty
good material in Gompers' day
but he was ignorant of all this.
He did have respect for the an
cient Hebrew and he went on to
say that he had some acquaint-
ance with the Talmud and that it
was the study of the Talmud
which was responsible for much
of the intellectual quality which
many Jews have.
We may assume that his know
ledge of the Talmud was very
limited and his whole identity as
a Jew, OVERLY at least, was very
attenuated and, in his role as la
Dor leader, he identified himself
completely with labor even where
Jewish interests were jeopardiz-
ed. Thus, although he lived at
the time of the great Russian
Jewish immigration to the U. S.,
he was anti-immigration.
Gompers was against labor 60

sense we take those things today.
He was not like another Jewish
labor leader, Sidney Hillman,
who became a pillar of the New
