Council unmasks
Drive By Doctors
Against Security

Flint, Mich. (LPA)-Ignore ap-
peals to oppose increases in fed
eral social security benefits, Sec
retary Robert Stinson of the Great
er Flint Industrial Union Council
has advised physicians in this area
Local doctors are being circular
ized by the Citizens Committee for
Cooperation with the American
Public, which the union official
charges is a front organization for
the state medical society.
Also being mailed to local doc
tors is a proposal by DR.. Marjorie
Shearon, a protege of Sen. Robert
A. Taft Or, Ohio), who wants most
of the social security act repealed.
"The only explanation | can see
for this move is a horse trade,
said Stinson. "The Natl Associa-
tion of Manufacturers opposes the
national health insurance program,
and the doctors oppose social Sc
curity increases"
Union members in Flint and else
where in the state are being alert
ed to the new anti-health insurance
tactics. They are being urged to
discuss them with their family doc
tors, and to ask the physicians to
have nothing to do with the opposi-
tion to old age and survivors in

Cleveldnd's OK Of Locul
FEPC Low Rebuke To Taft

Cleveland (LPA) - No comfort
to Sen. Robert A. Taft is the 25 to
z vote by which Cleveland's city
council adopted a local Fair En-
ployment Practices act to replace
voluntary plan which had been
backed by the Chamber of Com
merce.
That's Bob Taft's idea of ade-
quate FEPC legislation-a volun-
tary plan. And the Chamber of
Commerce here, which loves Bob
Taft and all his works, helped put
through the compulsory legislation.
So, the position is that Taft loves
voluntary" FEPC, and the Cham
ber loves Taft, but the Chamber
backed the compulsory plan, after
seeing that the voluntary plan
Cleveland had did not work. How
Taft will explain that to the voters
in his campaigning to retain his
Senate seat will make interesting
reading.
The local proponents of the
voluntary plan spent thousands of
dollars on literature, radio time,
space, and car cards. At
the end of year, all they could re-
port was "some headway." Sup
port by the Chamber for the COM
pulsory plan was tacit admission
that the voluntary" approach had
failed.

,Spdre No Effort To Arouse
Voting Spirit, Unions Told

Grafton of Labor. We will never
relax nor relinquish this fight until
that disgraceful law is wiped from
the statute books of the nation.
Experience under the Taft
Hartley Act has deepened labor's
conviction that the law is thorough
ly unjust, completely unworkable,
and doomed to failure.
at has failed to improve labor
management relations. 1t has fail
ed to prevent damaging strikes
and lockouts. 1t has failed to bear
out the hypocritical claim of its
sponsors that it would protect the
public interest.
son the contrary, it has en-
meshed labor-management rela-
tions in a growing tangle of re-
strictive regulations which have
become so contradictory that not
only employers and unions, but
even the National Labor Relations
Board and its chief counsel are
constantly at odds as to what the
law really provides.
Furthermore, instead of reduc-
ing time lost due to strikes and
lockouts, the Hartley Act has
actually provoked new conflicts in
industries which previously had
enjoyed peaceful and cooperative
relations for years.

Many Substitutes
For Health Bill

Washington (LPA)-Despite re-
peated claims that the national
health insurance bill is dead, its
opponents continue to introduce
substitutes. And each substitute is
more like national health insurance
than its predecessor. That's the
observation of Committee for the
Nations Health, which is the labor
backed organization leading the
fight for health insurance.
During the first few weeks of
the current Congressional session.,
"more substitute proposals for the
national health insurance bill have
been made than during all of the
last four years." CNH reports.
"All of these 1850 bills-or pro-
posed bills-are health programs
which (D do not depend on the
charity principle; (2) are national
health bills, some with large fed
eral powers;. (3) are intended to
cover a large proportion of the
population, and (4) include men,
bers of both political parties among
their sponsors.
"Thus the record shows" CNH

Stock holders OK
Pensions; No Cut
For Executives

Wilmington, Del. (LPA)-Twen-
ty stockholders of the Bethlehem
Steel Corp. meeting here voted
approval of the 500 pensions the
firm granted striking members of
the United Steelworkers last fall.
The vote was a whopping 6,361,-
351 common shares in favor; 1885,
,074 common shares against.
Lewis d. Gilbert, the man who
makes a career of attending stock
holders meetings moved that pen
sions be limited to $4,000 a year.
He lost, 5,838,731 common shares
to 525,644. Halving those $4,000
executive pensions must have
smacked of socialism.
James Fuller of Hartford, Conn.,,
owner of Is shares wanted the pen
sion plan tabled 80 days while en-
ployes decided whether they pre-
ferred pensions or a 10-cent pay
raise. He lost too. Fuller suggested
that people who are not employees
be included on the board of dir
ectors and that the company show
less generosity toward the direct
ors at the stockholders expense.
He lost again.
Board Chairman Eugene Grace
announced Bethlehem had its big
gest year in 1949.

Farm Groups Want
Old Age Benefits

Washington (LPA) - For the
first time since federal social Sc
curity programs were proposed,
farm organizations are unanimous
ly in favor of extending the old
age benefits program to workers
in agriculture.
Appearing Feb. before the Sen
ate Finance committee, spokesman
for the Farm Bureau Federation,
Natl Farmers Union and Natl
Grange all urged extension of old
age and survivors insurance to
farm operators and their hired
hands.
AS recently as last spring, when
the House Ways & Means commit
tee drafted HR 5000, the bill now
before the Senate group, Congress
men believed it polite to exclude
farmers from coverage.
This year the Grange calls such
exclusion unfair discrimination"
and the Farmers Union, which has
been for coverage right along, says
that declining farm income has
"accentuated the need" for old age
and survivors benefits for farm
ers.
Angus Mcdonald, speaking for
Flu, pointed out that "already fed
eral, state and county governments
are spending enormous sums on

New Compensation Laws
Pushed By Mass. Labor

Boston (LPA)-The Massachu-
sets Legislatures Committee on
Insurance did its best to gag labor
spokesmen for bills cutting the pri-
vate profits on workers compensa-
tion insurance at a Feb. 6 hearing,
but the labor men got their say-so
into the record anyway.
The State Federation of Labor is
sponsoring a bill limiting the total
cost of administering compensa-
ton, the expense ratio, to 25 per
cent instead of the present 40 per
cent. The low cost might have the
effect of forcing private insurers
out. Labor is sponsoring a bill re-
quiring compensation rates to be
based on Massachusetts experience.
Only one legislator favored the
labor-backed measures.

President Truman
Backs Study Of
Water Resources

Washington (LPA) - President
Truman has endorsed a proposal
by a group of New England and
New York Senators for a broad
scale study of how the seven-state
area water resources can be used to
make cheaper electric power more
widely available, and to give indus
try a much-needed shot in the arm.
In a letter to Vice-President AL
ben Barkley, Truman urged that
the proposal, which is an amend
ment to a flood control authorize
tion bill passed by the House, be
expedited.
"Some notable individual pro-
jects have been planned, such as
the st. Lawrence seaway and pow
er project" Truman said, and
these should not be delayed fur
ther, but "a wider scope, broad
er vision, is needed if the potential
tiles inherent in the resources of
these states are to be realized"
Lower electric rates in New York
and New England-the highest re-
sidential rates in the nation are
paid by householders in New York
City and Boston-were held out
by Truman as one contribution of
a carefully planned hydroelectric
power program.
The area, (which has for many
years been tagging in all-around
economic progress" would be able
to plan new kinds of industrial de-
velopment if cheap power is avail
able, Truman observed. The fight
on water pollution, and flood con-
troll would also be furthered.
The Truman-endorsed proposal
would establish a study commiss-
ion of seven members, including
citizens from the region and repre-
sentatives of the principal federal
agencies concerned. 1t would work
closely with advisory groups NAM
ed by the governors of the states
affected. Two years would be al
lowed for the study.

Knowing that the Citizens Com
mittee for Fair Employment Prac-
tices, labor and liberal group, had
enough councilmanic votes to
squeeze a compulsory measure
through, the C of c jumped on the
bandwagon by offering a couple of
compromise amendments acceptable
to the Citizens Committee. The
administration of Mayor Thomas
A. Burke also backed the legisla-
tion to the hilt.
The action of City Council is
clear-cut victory for the local
Democratic party. While the local
machine, headed by
former f Congressman-a t-Large
George Bender, has been long on
talk concerning FEP legislation,
it was the Democrats who took
over and pushed the issue through
Council.
Already inquiries from cities
throughout the nation are pouring
into the headquarters of the Citiz-
ems Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practices Legislation. Word
has already been received from San
Francisco that the action taken
here may also help to get similar
legislation adopted in that city.
Specifically, the local act pro-

1850 Platform OF
Cop Lures Big
Givers, Not Voters

Washington (LPA)-The Repub-
lican Party has unveiled its plat
form for the 1850 elections. The
program may win campaign gifts
from the big donors who have been
coy recently, but it is not likely to
win many votes.
For so conservative is the latest
COP brainchild that liberal and
even middle-of- -the-road Republi-
cans are backing away. Sen. Lodge,
Massachusetts, who chaired the
1948 platform committee, called
the program a disappointment, as
did Sen. Margaret Chase Smith,
Maine, who hit the documents
"vague generalities". Lodge and
Rep. Jacob X. Javits, New York,
protested the pussyfooting on civil
rights. Rep. James G. Fulton,
Pennsylvania, spoke of "going back
to Methuselah". Sen. Aiken, Yer
mont, voted against adoption of the
platform.
The platform was hammered out
in all-day but separate conferences
of the House and Senate Republi-
cans, and the National Committee,
and reports of the mitigating
showed again the divisions in the
party. Fulton said the policy de-
claration "blithely ignored" the
fundamental differences within the
party, which he said were "wheth-
er we shall go back to Methuselah
or offer alternative programs for
social progress within the frame
work of a balanced budget"
The Republicans have come up
with a new bogeyman. It's social
ism. They trotted out welfare
state" and it failed to scare the
voters. They tried out "statism",
and that failed to scare the work
ers. Now it's socialism. Says the
Statement of Principles and OBJ
jectives": "The major issue today
is liberty against socialism" The
statement declared the Truman
Administrations program "for
planned economy" is modelled on
the socialist governments of Eu-
rope, and that the Administration
program "is dictated by a small
but powerful group of persons who
believe in socialism and who have
no concept of the true foundation
of American progress"
The Republicans came out for
keeping the Taft-Hartley act, with
such improvements as have been
shown to be necessary to accom-
plish its purposes more effectively
and achieve more complete equal
ity."
The Republicans denounced the
Brannap farm plan, which would
help not only farmers, but every
consumer.
They pussyfooted on civil rights.

transacted, the meeting lasted only
a short time. The attendance was
good but there was room for i'm
provement along this line. Our Of
ficers are sticking to their promise
that the meetings will not be long
drawn out affairs.
The passing Of our late brother
Harris Ford, a victim of silicosis,
brings to our attention the import

The set-up for the turn over
from stone ware to general ware
