Must Be Good
Citizen First;
Says Meany

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
right to vote in a free election is
the highest obligation of citizen
ship and is perhaps the highest
privilege of American citizen
ship" writes George Meany in
the July issue of the American
Federationist, the AFL's month
ly magazine.
'The whole foundation of our
system of self government" rests
upon free exercise of the right
to vote, says the secretary-treas-
urer of the AFL. However, he
adds, if Americans fail to vote
they no longer have government
by the majority instead of the
minority. That's what happened
in 1916 when only a third of the
citizens qualified to vote actual
ly went to the polls that year, he
points out.
"Are you a good CITIZEN"
Meany asks each Federationist
reader. "Have you registered or
will you register in order to
voter" he continues. "Are you
going to make certain to vote on
Nov. II" He cites Samuel Com
pers' belief that a good union
man must be a good citizen first.
This year, unionists must prove
their citizenship by registering
and voting, he says.

Soviet plan for world conquest,
the AFL and CIO on June n
strongly b C k e d the position
taken by President Truman in
the crisis.
Truman announced he h d
ordered US air and sea forces to

Matthew Woll, chairman of the
AFL free trade union commit

cial resolution adopted by the
AFL executive council at it's

GE Contract Offer
Turned Down By UE
And BY Rival IUE.Cl0

NEW YORK (LPA)-A five
year contract offer by General
Electric Co. was turned down
June % by the Int'l Union of
Electrical Workers-CIO and the
United Electrical workers-unaf-
filiated, the two rival groups
now representing 10000 GE
employees.
IUE-CIO Chairman James B.
Carey said the proposed three
per cent pay increase and pen
sion and insurance program
might have been adequate 18
months ago, but now can be
considered only a down pay
UE said the company's
contract terms would in effect
negotiate away any economic
gains won by GE workers.
The wage increase offered by
GE would provide from four to
nine cent hourly raises. The
wage provisions could be re-
opened annually. The pensions
would be based on contributions
by the workers as well as the
company. The same would go
for insurance benefits.

Free Europe Station
To Broadcast To
Soviet Puppet States

NEW YORK (LPA)-A new
voice for democracy went be-
hind the iron curtain July 4 in
the first broadcast of Radio Free
Europe, designed by the Ma
tional Committee for a Free
Europe to 'tell the true story
of democracy and freedom"
The NCFE, a group of private
citizens, conducts the station as
a private venture aimed at
"halting communism and saving
freedom" The recordings are
made here and are flown to
transmitters in Western Europe
at secret locations to prevent
jamming by Russian stations as
long as possible.
July Fourth was selected for
the first broadcast as "a symbol
throughout the world of mans
long struggle for freedom" The
next ten days of programs will
be limited to announcements of
the new stations purposes and
future agenda. Bastille Day,
July Ia, anniversary of the fall
of the Bastille and start of the
French Revolution, marks the
beginning of Radio Free Eu-
ropes full broadcasting sched-
ule.
The new station is designed to
supplement the Voice of Amer
lea broadcast and speak with
the voice of the private Ameri-
can citizen" said Frank Alt
schul, chairman of the NCFE's

Top Newsprint Maker
Sees e-Settinu
As Benevolent Move

assistant publisher and general
manager of tn e Los Angeles
Daily News.
There is a shortage of news
print, Smith insisted, and ''the
arithmetic of h situation is
such that liberal and independ-
ent newspapers will be the first
fatalities" Big newspaper chains
like Hearst and Scripps-Howard
and d allies like New York
Times, Chicago Tribune, n d
New York Daily News, can af-
ford to buy newsprint mills,
Smith said.
AS to fears that increasing
capacity would leave the news
print producers with too much
paper, Smith insisted there's
no place for newsprint demand
to go but up" and that we've
b e n thinking in short-term
takes on this newsprint prob
lem long enough" T h IS was
sharp contrast with the Inter
national Paper Co. presidents
hesitancy. "The $64 question:"
Hinman said, sis whether this
present demand for newsprint
is real or not"
The Los Angeles publishers
urg d Reconstruction Finance
Corp. loans to aid private in
vestors. He said there are peo-
pie ''ready to put up $25, 5,000,-
900 to $30,000,000 to start a
newsprint mill in the United
States" Smith urged develop
ment of US newsprint produc-
tion to avoid complete depend
ence on Canada, which now sup
plies nearly IS per cent of the
newsprint u S d in US news
papers.
He criticized the newspaper
fraternity" and especially the
American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association for having been
too slow in acting to get larger
supplies of paper for its mem
bers. Smith also urged that pub
fishers, newsprint producers and
government agencies hold meet
ings to establish rules of the
road" He said up to now fed
eral antitrust actions directed
against the newsprint producers
have aggravated the shortage.
"Cartels n d price-fixing ar
rangements have been going on
all over the world and we are
just closing our eyes" by deny
ing it, Smith insisted. To end

Williams Tells
Labor To Get
Into Politics

ESCANABA, Mich. (LPA)-
Governor Williams and AFL,
CIO, Railway Brotherhood and
other union officials spoke at
the weekend Samuel Gompers
celebration here. Afterward an
Upper Peninsula Labor Council,
composed of all branches of or
ganized labor, was organized.
Gov. Williams urged labor to
use both its political and eco
nomic arms" to achieve higher
standards. 'If you rely solely on
your economic arm," he said,
you will find that your politi-
cal arm will wither and your
economic arm will be tied be-
hind your back"
Mayor Jack Mullen of Clair
ton, Pa, an official of the CIC
United Steelworkers, also urged
political action. He said labor
leaders were often tagged "radi-
GALS" but added that "good radi-
Gals" like Gompers had made q
definite contribution to a better
w rid. Washington, Lincoln,
Wilson, and Franklin D. Roose-
velt, he said, were also con~i7"~-
ed radicals because "they were
not content to accept the staGuS
quo"
James Doran, head of the
Escanaba Trades and Labor
Council, later was elected head
of the Upper Peninsula Labor
Council, at a meeting at the
Teamsters' hall attended by
representatives of so unions.

WASHINGTON (LPAl

WASHINGTON (LPA) - A
picture of how the biggest pro-
ducers of newsprint on the
North American continent looks
looks on its role as a sort of
benevolent price-setter was un-
folded before the House Mo-
nopoly Investigating committee
by John H. Hinman, president
of International Paper Co.
International's n wsprin t
price - which is used as the
basis for prices charged news
paper publishers by many other
producers, according to the tes-
timony of half-dozen witnesses
has been held down to $100
a ton "for nearly two years in
spite of increased CO tss and
greatly increased demands, !"
Hinman told the investigators.
He boasted that they held the
price down when h y could
have sold for more. 81 can prove
to you that the $100 which the
sales company now asks for
newsprint delivered in N w
York is reasonable and mod
crate price by comparison with
a standard judicially establish
ed' by a Federal Trade Com
mission proposal in 1913, Hin
man claimed. T h e complaints
against newsprint companies
have mainly involved charges of
newsprint producers price-fix-
ing unrelated to supply or de-
mand, rather than any COM
plants of price-gouging, n d
Humans testimony strength
ened the conviction of o m e
committee members that the in
dustry operates under a system
of private rationing'' and ''pri-
vate price-fixing." Both prac-
tices, clearly, are hardly cal
culated to maintain the tradi-
ton of free enterprise or calcu-
lated to insure freedom of the
press.
Hinman asserted that eff a
free press means plenty of ac-
cess to newsprint, we were
never farther away from danger
in this country" He defended
the reluctance of his company
and other newsprint producers
to expand production. Demand
at the moment is all out of line
with historical expectancy and
the basic trend" he insisted.
A sharply differing view was
presented by Robert L. Smith,
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-07-07

this situation, US-owned news
print mills, located in this coun-
try, should be developed, Smith
urged. Smith agreed with Chair
man Emanuel Celler Cd, N.Y. of
the monopoly committee t h t
the reluctance of publishers to
testify is evidence of a very
unsatisfactory and unhealthy
liaison that eists between the
publishers and t h e newsprint
