Testimony Mounts On Monopoly
Effects Of Giants In Steel

with fabricators and other consum-
ers of steel. Directors of different
steel companies frequently serve
| together on the boards of other
companies. Numerous financial in
stitutions have common directors
with the steel companies, and sew
eral financial institutions have dir
ectors on the boards of more than
one steel company. There is clear
indication of interlocking direct
crates between the steel making
companies and the ore companies.
4-One accounting firm does the
auditing for eight of the 16 COM
panies, and another works for four
of them. Four law firms act as
counsel for many of the 16.
Earlier testimony limiting that
the "big three" of the steel indus
try in the U. S. are again taking
steps to reconstitute the interna-
tional cartel which controlled pro-
duction, imports and exports here,
in Britain, and on the continent,
was presented by another witness.
James S. Martin, who as an offic-
ial Of the military government un-
earthed records of the prewar car
tel in Luxembourg, Dusseldorf and
other German cities after Hitler's
defeat, told the story of the deal
ings between U. s., British, French
and German steel interests before
the war. He said that the same in
dustrialists are now running the
German steel industry who were
there during Hitler's day, and in
dicated that he had heard reports
that u. S. Steel, Republic and Beth
lehem's European representatives
were working with the Germans
and British to again set up the
cartel. He also charged that the
British subject who, before the war
took part in the negotiations that
brought the u. S. industry into the
cartel, was now the U. S. member
of the tri-partite commission run
ming the German steel industry.
The charge that the cartel is being
revived was vigorously denied from
New York by President Benjamin
Fairless of U. S. Steel.
When Fairless appears to testify
later in the investigation, he is ex-
pected to be asked in more detail
about this denial.

acted on complaint of Emil Macy,

station refused to give or sell the
union radio time, after Chrysler

Chrysler refused, no time would be

6-Cent Wage Cut Sure If
Rent Curbs Ends. Green
Tells Senate Committee

Washington. AFL President
William Green told the Senate
Banking Committee that if rent
controls die next June 80 rents will
rise so high that the average work
er will take 6-cent-an-hour wage
cut.
Mr.. Green urged Congress adopt
President Truman's recommends
tions for extension rent ceilings for
one more year.
He said the AFL has no desire to
impose economic controls on our
economic life but that cit is only
the compelling facts about today's
housing shortage that force us to
a different conclusion" on the mat
ter of rent controls.
He cited AFL convention and
Executive Council decisions urging
continuance of rent controls until
they can be safely removed-"by
building an adequate supply of
homes that fit the pocketbooks of
the millions of families who are
without decent housing today"
81 know" Mr.. Green said, "that
opponents of rent control will at
tempt to show that there is no long
er any shortage of housing. Exam
inc their evidence very carefully
because despite a recent squirt in
residential construction, there still
remains a severe housing shortage,
particularly of homes and apart
ments renting at levels that low
and middle income families can af-
ford"
He showed that the great maj
ority of cities and states have re-
tanned rent controls where they had
an option and that most of the 81
100000 AFL members are still pro-
tected by rent ceilings.
Mr.. Green said:
"The illusion the real estate in
terests have tried to create that
there is a tremendous demand on
the part of American communities
for the end of rent control, simply
does not jibe with the facts. Most
communities, large and small, re-
cogniZe the need for continued rent
control and although the Rent Con-
troll Act of 1910 gave them com
plete freedom to remove controls,
the overwhelming majority have
wisely refrained from taking such
action.
"The wisdom of maintaining rent
controls becomes crystal clear when
we discover what has happened to
rents in some of the decontrolled
communities. In November, 1949,
the Department of Labor made
survey of residential rent in 7 de-
controlled communities. The survey
showed that in those communities

Stall On Raising
JobIess Benefits
Laid To G0Pers

Detroit (LPA)-More than 100,-
900 Michigan workers have ex-
hausted their unemployment COM
pensation benefits in the past year;
100000 veterans are no longer COW
cred by the Servicemen's Readjust-
ment act; 250,000 employees of
firms hiring less than eight work
ers have no protection when they
are laid off.
Gov. G. Mennen Williams has
asked the legislature to extend dur
alton of benefits, extend coyerage
to all workers, and eliminate the
crippling amendments in the pre-
sent act. But Republican-controll-
ed legislative study committee
wants to delay changes until 1851.
The committee is trying to make
political capital out of the misery
of jobless workers, charged Tom
Downs chairman of the Michigan
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission, and Michigan labor legis-
lative representative.
The study committee wants post
ponement until fractional dissen-
sion" in the MUCC is ironed out.
Because the COP and anti-labor
employers know they can't carry on
frontal attack on social security
and unemployment compensation,
they are trying to smear the
MUCC, said Downs. He called it
move to cover up the real issues
facing the voters.

tenants whose rents had been rails
ed were forced to bear an average
increase of from 16 percent in Salt
Lake City to 40 percent in Houston.
Moreover, the rent increases affect
ed from one-third to three-fifths of
all the tenants in those commun-
tiles. | understand that a second
survey released this week covering
"a additional decontrolled cities
bears out essentially the same con-
clusion.
"The housing shortage has not
been overcome, decontrol of rents
in many localities has been prema-
ture, and failure to extend federal
rent control would lead to substan-
tial, widespread increases in rent
for millions of American families" "
Mr.. Green then told how rent
raises will cut workers wage. He
said:
LET us use for our example a
factory worker whose earnings are
$50 a week, approximately the pre-
sent nationwide average. Let us as
sumo that this worker is spending
approximately 20 percent of his in
come for rent, about $40 a week.
"If rents in his community are
decontrolled, the Department of
Labor survey indicates that his
rent would rise by at least 25 per-
cent or $3.50 a week. This increase
in rent is equivalent to a wage cut
of percent, or over 6 cents an
hour, assuming a 40-hour week.
"Under these circumstances, the
for collective bargain
ing are bound to be quite far
reaching. From my long experience
in the labor movement, | know that
a widespread wave of sizable rent
increases will inevitably be reflect
ed in the demands Of organized
workers for higher wages.
"Under these circumstances, fed
eral rent control is needed. While
we are not satisfied with the pre-
sent law, it represents the mini
mum program under which effec-
tive rent control can be maintain
ed. We, therefore, recommend that
Congress extend the present law
for a period of one year with only
the one change which we feel is
in the present law-the
local option provisions.
ave think that local option
should be made a two-way street
Even from the limited data now
it is clear that some com
have been pressured into
taking decontrol action too soon.
Such communities should have an
opportunity to rectify their mis-
take. Therefore, we urge that the
law include a provision for recon
troll by local option through the
same procedures as it now provides
for decontrol."
