Workers and United Office and
Professional Workers. All chal-
lenged the right of the CIO to
conduct hearings and to expell
them - and some of their lead
ers went into court under the
Taft Hartley act in an unsuc-
cessful effort to halt the trials.
But the four unions were ex-
PEELED by the Executive Board.
A short time later the Ameri-
can Communications Association
was "disaffiliated' by Board &C
ton.
The Fur and Leather Work
ers, headed by Ben Gold, an
avowed Communist, asked for
and was granted a postponement
of its hearing - then voted at
its June convention to leave the
CIO. Later the Board went
through the formalities of ex-
polling the union.
There was considerable delay
in hearings for three West Coast
unions which involve around the
Harry Bridges axis - the
Longshoremen and Warehouse
men (of which Bridges is presi-
dent, the Marine Cooks and
Stewards and the Allie dFisher-
men.
CIO leaders agreed not to
bring them before a hearing
committee until after the u. S.
Government had completed its
trial of Bridges on charges of
perjury. After Bridges was con-
victed the CIO hearings were
held and Board action on the
findings was scheduled for mid
summer.
BY midsummer, also, the new
CLIO electrical union had won
bargaining rights for some U.s.
600 workers who formerly were
under UE jurisdiction.
Former members of the Pub
lie Workers were being brought
under the jurisdiction of the
CLIO Government and Civic
Workers Organizing Committee.
Former Mine-Mill members
were joining up with the United

were expelled were going into
local industrial unions or into
ong-established CIO unions.

Labor In Fight To Halt
Communist Aggression
BY MAURICE j. TOBIN
Secretary Of Labor

Labor Day, 1880, has q special significance. II comes at .
totalitarianism by going to the defense of the people of South
Korea and all other people menaced by Communist aggression
Organized labor has thrown itself into this struggle with all its
soul and might.
Labor is free and can be free only in a democracy. American
labor realized that there can be no freedom for workers in Com
munist-dominated countries. Free workers understand that they
owe 1T to themselves and their handcuffed brothers under totai-
tartan rule to join unreservedly in the fight to set workers free
in every part of the world.
Americans are lovers of peace. They have shown q spirit of
international fellowship which has gone beyond faith to works
Our actions have brought relief and hope to the stricken and
oppressed of other lands. Our actions have made us the protector
OF helpless men and women everywhere.
We do not like persecution and tyranny. We won our release
from oppression many years ago. We cherish the rights of a free
dom-loving people. We have never hesitated to help others enjoy
the same privileges.
That is why we have gone TO the rescue of the South Kor.
cans. We have taken a solemn obligation to help protect a country
whose independence had been recognized by the United Nations
The United States has swung into action to preserve free
dom and peace for the oppressed people of the world. Labor
unions have their own great role to play in this struggle for the
right Of peoples to enjoy the blessings of democracy.
Labor is rising to the height of this great argument in the
centennial year of the birth of Samuel Gompers, who dedicated
his life to championing the rights of workers here and abroad
Labor leaders of today are moved by the same vision. The trade
union movement which has known so much injustice and misery
is vgilant not only in its own behalf but for the protection Of
others who face the brutal arrogance of Communism in this un
happy world.
Labor marches with all other lovers of freedom and right te
halt Communist aggression, wherever and whenever it raises
its hideous head.

Lobby Probe Recalls RumeIey;
cog Head Asked To Explain
Where Money Comes From

WASHINGTON (LPA) - Ed
ward A Rumeleyy executive
head of the Committee for Con-
stitutional Government, can tell
who puts up the money for his
organization or face a citation
for contempt of Congress.
That's the import of action by
the House Select Committee on
Lobbying Activities recalling
Rumley to appear before it Aug.
rs. Rep. Frank Buchanan ID.
Pa.), chairman of the lobby
probers believes the Committee
for Constitutional Government
to be the top organization in a
network of anti-labor, anti-Fair
Deal lobbying groups.
In two previous appearances
before the Lobbying Committee,
Rumeley refused to identify his
chief hackers. The Lobby Reg
istration Act requires that all
lobbies register the names of
those making contributions of
more than $500. He contended
that larger sums received were
not contributions but proceeds
from sales of cog literature. He
insisted that Cog was a publish
ing house.
Chairman Buchanan said that
Rumeley would be questioned
on a number of specific financial

SIGNAL investigators from New
York bank records. He said
these records would reveal that
the Cog received many contri-
buttons of more than $500 which
never have been reported under
the lobbying act. Rumeley was
expected to insist again that
these transactions were proceeds
from sales. In addition, Buchan-
an said, the records show trans
fers of funds to the cog from
the Constitutional and Free En-
terprise Foundation and Ameri-
cas- Future, Inc, organizations
Rumeley denied were affiliated
with cog.

American Production
Marvel of the World
By SAWYER
Secretary of Commerce

Labor Day of 1950-the mid
die of the Twentieth Century
should remind all of us that the
progress of this country has its
roots in the ideal of freedom.
Our forefathers knew that for
this ideal to become a dynamic
part of the lives of men, all per-
sons must be willing to take
risks, to work hard and to ac-
cept responsibilities. T d a y
these same qualities mean more
to this nation, and to the world,
than at any time since we first
fought and won our right to
freedom TIA years ago.
American workers have long
had freedom to organize unions.
They have used this freedom to
create large and powerful or
CARNATIONS which have obtain
ed for their members the high
est real wages and best work
ing conditions ever known.
When American workers and
their organizations team up
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-09-01

with American arrangements,
the result is astounding produc-
ton, a range and volume of
goods that is the marvel of the
world.
This is the basic strength of
our American economic system
and the reason why responsible
union leaders of this nation try
to make our system of capital
ism work instead of trying to
replace it with something else.
Our beliefs in the dignity of
the individual and the rights of
all persons to freedom are being
challenged as never before by
those who think that the state
should be the omnipotent mas
ter Of men.
American workers-and their
unions-are to be congratulated
for using their strength to fight
totalitarianism at home and be-
yond the seas. Upon the out
come of this struggle depends
not only the future of free trade
union but of the world.

What Has Happened To The
Commies Since Last Labor Day
By ALLEN L. SWIM
Editor, CLIO News

The Communists, for the
most part, are now on the out
side looking in - and hurting
bitter charges at the "dictators''
who tossed them out.
The battle began brewing
shortly after the end of World
War II. 1t was joined in earnest
last November at Cleveland,
Ohio, when the CLIO took deci-
sive action against party-liners.
Two unions - The United FL
ectrical Workers and the Farm
Equipment Workers - were ex-
PEELED by the convention on
charges that they consistently
followed the Communist Party
line in preference to CLIO policy.
Before the convention ended,
charges of Communist domino
ton were placed against 10
other unions. A hearing commit
tee procedure was established
and the Executive Board was
given authority to act on the
charges.
And during the same week the
. CLIO established a new union
the International Union of FL
ectrical, Radio and Machine
Workers. Before long the IUE
d. was clashing head-on with the
UE, which was termed by CIO
/. Pres. Philip Murray as contain
+. ing the 'hard core of Commun-
; ism" in the American Labor
movement.
Unions against w C h

Only one of the accused
union leaders - Pres Morris

made any attempt to elimi-
nate the Connie influences in
his organization. He took his
fight to the membership - and

vention this summer he was vic

Opposition In Senate To Statehood For Alaska Grows By Leaps And Bounds'

WASHINGTON, Southern Democrats, with strong Republi- can backing, waged an al-out fight in the Senate today to block the bill to grant statehood to AL aSka.
 President Truman has asked the short session of Congress to pass the bill and a companion Hawaiian measure, both passed by the House.
 One southerner, asking not to be named, told reporter the dis pute might endanger MT. Tru- mans entire program for the ses- sion. The president has asked for rent control legislation and big defense appropriations, a m o n g other things, before this Congress expires Jan. 3.
 Senators generally take it for granted that the fate of the Alas ka statehood bill is apt to be the fate also of the Hawaii measure.
 Lucas, who made the motion to give the statehood bills right-of- way. told reporters he will take at least another day to test out the opposition's strength before decid- ing Whether-or What-neW steps may be needed.
 Senator Taft R-OhiO announc- ed he would vote against giving the statehood bills the right-of- way. He told reporters, however, the Senate COP policy committee which he heads has not taken a stand on the issue.
 Both major party platforms ad- vocate statehood for the two Ter ritorieS.
 After the opening speech yester- day in favor of the bill by Sena- tor O'Mahoney O.-Wyo0, Sena- tors strayed out of the chamber until only a handful remained.

Railroad Link To Alaska May Bly, Pass Seattle

SEATTLE, (P)-Pacific North west Trade Association delegates heard Monday night that there is a real possibility that railroad to Alaska might start from Ed monton, Alta and bypass the Pa cific Northwest.
 Thomas Braidwood, Vancouver, B. C., businessman, said midwest interests appear much more inter ested in the development of the Canadian north and land along the Alaska Highway than are Washingtonians or British Colum- bia residents.
 Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul interests are exploring trade possibilities along the highway and an immense amount of Amer ican capital investment already is visible in Alberta, Braidwood de- clared.
 The Vancouver delegate said the Northwest would stand to lose much of its present Alaska busi- ness of the rail line is constructed north from Edmonton.
 Extension of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway north through British Columbia to Alaska was termed a "war necessity" in a talk by B. C. Senator Stanley McKeen, who represented Premier Byron I. Johnson at the associations gov ernor's night banquet.

Chamber Discusses Proposed New Mining Laws

The contents of a secret memo on proposed mining laws which was exposed by the Los Angeles Times was read to the Chamber at their regular noon luncheon yesterday by Secy. A. .Polet, and placed in the hands of the mining committee which is composed of A. Saario, Bob Rediway, Ted Duff field, James Walsh, James Me- Lain, Dan Jones and Helen Boch- man.
 This secret proposal by the heads of the interior department would triple the annual assess ment work to $3O0.00 and in some cases as high as $600.00. Many new technicalities would be added to increase the "red tape" of pros pecting.
 Surface rights requirements, such as trespassing on govern ment property, etc., and obtaining patents would be limited and the interior department would retain control of the surface resources.
 According to the Los Angeles Times this would destroy the en- tire fabric of the present system of prospecting, discovery and claim filing.

Korean Situation At A Glance ---
Tuesday. November 28. 1850

Tuesday. November 28. 1850 Thousands of Chinese Reds were reported today pouring through the retreating Eighth Army's broken lines near the cen- ter of the Korean Peninsula. The war had reached what may Joe its gravest crisis.
 General MacArthur summoned his two chief field commanders back to Tokyo for urgent confer ences. It. Gen. Walton HI. Wal ker, commander of the Eighth Army and Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond, commander of the 10th Corps in northwest Korea, arrived by plane in Japan from their sep arate headquarters.
 A First Corps spokesman said Chinese communists were swarm ing "along every road, every gully and every ridge line" for dis tance of 35 miles north of Tok- chon. This poised a threat to the Allied main supply line from Pyongyong, the former Red capi- tai.
 Earlier Macarthur had warned that the communist world must find a diplomatic solution because of the crushing Red Chi nese intervention that has thrown U. N. forces into retreat just as they seemed poised for victory.
 Macarthur described the situa- tion as "an entire new war" In an extraordinary communique he acknowledged he is powerless to cope with the with the undeclared Chinese belligerents.
 The Allied line was broken near tn center of the peninsula where furious Red Chinese night attacks crumbled three South Korean di- visions. In the Tokchon sector the Reds in their ibreakthrough poised threat to the former North Ko- rean capital of Pyongyang. The Hanks of American divisions were dangerously exposed.
 (P) correspondent Don White head reported:
 "The blunt truth is the army is being driven back by an enemy obviously much stronger than had been estimated."
 Macarthur estimated the Chi nese have thrown 100000 men in to the Korean fighting. He added: Heavy endorsements now concentrated" across the border in Manchuria are constantly nov ing forward"
 Allied intelligence has estim- ated there are 5OO,OOo Red Chi nese troops massed in Manchuria in what Macarthur calls a privil- eged neutral" sanctuary which the United Nations has decided must not be attacked.
