The union hopes to show Sen

tatively set for April 20-21 il
Rome, Ca, and April 22 in Ander
son, S. c., how this atmosphere il
the South, intensified by the Taft
Hartley act, has affected the labor
situation. The union will use the
Rome, Ga. story to show how ar
existing union was smashed, anc
the Anderson story to show how
community mobilization prevented
unionization.
The subcommittee on Labor
Management Relations is headed
by Senator Murray Cd, Mont.),
The union hopes that he and Sen
ators Morse (R, Ore.), and Nicely
Cd, w. Va.), other members of the
committee, will attend the hear

Elimination of the Taft-Hartley
act, or changes in the act, would
alter the entire climate, explained
John Edelman, the unions Wash
ington representative. He and
Isidor Katz, the unions attorney,
believe they can convey this; clim-

They expect to subpoena employers
to show that blacklists still exist
in Rome, and believe the employ

Textile, as the biggest industry
in the South, is the key to organ

Taft-Hartley, the union has lost
1000 to 5000 members, and many
well-established locals, despite the
southern organizing drive.

DEWEY VETOES
BILL TO CURB
RAIL WORKERS

Albany, n. Y. (LPA) - Gov
Dewey has vetoed a bill which
would have imperilled the rights
of railroad workers in this state.
The measure gave the Public Ser
vice Commission arbitrary powers
to suspend or discharge rail~work-
ers if it was found their physical
condition or safety record "jeopar-
died" safe railroad operation. The
bill also would have wiped out ac-
cumulated rights and benefits of
such workers, or forced those eli
gible for pensions to retire, in lieu
of being fired.
The measure was rushed through,
without hearings, during the n.y.
steria following the recent fatal
wreck of a Long Island train. The
Railway Labor Executives Asso-
ciation, shocked at the sweeping
nature of the bill, strongly urged
Dewey to veto the bill.
H. w. Fraser, president of the
Conductors, and chairman of the
Executives Association, said the
veto blocked a bill (which would
have violated democratic practices,
disrupted labor relations and con-
travened judicial standards"
Dewey, in his veto message, said
the bill conflicts with federal sta
tutes, would place hopeless ad-
ministrative burden on the PSC,
and would produce waste and un-
necessary costs.

Approves Bill To
Plug Loophole In
Antitrust Laws

Washington (LPA)-The bill tt
plug a loophole in the antitrust
laws that allows a corporation tC
buy control of competitors by ac-
quiring their assets is one steI
nearer passage, as result of fav-
orable action by Senate Judiciary
subcommittee. Substantially the
same measure was passed by the
House last August.
The present loophole exists be-
cause the Federal Trade Commiss-
ion can only forbid a corporation
to acquire stock of a competitor
If the anti-merger bill passes, this
prohibition will extend also to ac-
QUESTION of assets, where such a
merger would substantially lessen
competition.
"The tendency towards mono
poly" Sen. Herbert O'Conor Cd,
Md told the Judiciary committee,
"has been proceeding at an accel-
Grated rate in recent years" "When
! three firms control 100 per cent of
the assets of an industry, as they
do in the aluminium industry; or
when the three largest firms in the
field control 95 per cent of the as
sets of the tin can industry, 92 per
cent of the lineoleum industry, 8e
per cent of the copper smelling in
dustry, 78 per cent in cigarettes
II per cent in distilled liquors, 7(
per cent in rubber tires, it is an
unhealthy situation. The small bus
mess man who wants to start out
in a field SO heavily controlled by
large corporations faces a difficult
task indeed"
There are only minor changes
from the House-approved bill--one
which would except from the FTC's
jurisdiction corporations already
regulated by the Federal Communi-
cations Commission, Federal Power
Commission, Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Securities & Ex-
change Commission, the Civil Aero
nautic Authority, and the Agricul-
ture Dept. Another would speci-
ficially say that the test of mono
poly effects would be the effect of
a merger on competition generally,
in any line of commerce, in any
section of the country.

Employers Told
Pensions Reflect
Employees Needs

Washington (LPA) - The mer
who speak for the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States car
spot a trend az quick as anyone
Now they've spotted pensions.
They say that one union contract
out of eight being signed these
days contains pension provisions
md they report that more than a
million workers won pensions in
l949. Core Of the trend is that most
pensions won by collective bargain
ing are non-contributory as far as
employees are concerned, they've
found.
It's high time, the Chamber of
Commerce boys believe, to give
their members a little advice so
they've prepared a study of the
pension problem. Theme of the
study is that management better
go ahead and grant more pensions.
If management doesn't, the study
indicates, employees will turn to
government for more retirement
pay. Then the government will
move in on business and the roof
will fall in.
Moreover, the c of c of u. S.
says, employers should recognize
that the needs of employees for
security reflect basic driving forces
that cannot be submerged" But
the c of c goes even deeper by de-
claring that a workable welfare
plan will contribute much to good
labor relations"

Wellington, New Zealand - In
pursuance of its policy of spread

of the American way of life (41!
million unemployed is apparently
one of them) the Readers Digest
may be expected in the near future
to take a crack at the former Labor
Governments of New Zealand and
Australia.
A certain Mr.. Stanley High, who
calls himself "roving editor" has
just left here for the U. S. after
spending two whole months in n.
z. and Australia trying to find out
"if the political upset in these
countries has any significance for
the United States"
1t would be unfair to Mr.. High
to attempt to pre-judge the story
he will no doubt write for the
Readers Digest, though anyone
who has read that somewhat my
opic publications recent comments
on affairs in Great Britain can
make a pretty good guess at how
it will treat the passing of the best
Governments n. 2. and Australia
have ever enjoyed.
But Mr.. High, before he left
these shores, had few words to
say to the local newspapers on the
recent anti-labor successes in this
part of the world. To him they
seemed a very good thing, and
without blush for his departure
from impartial journalism he took
his stand as an uncompromising

SUGGESTS METHODS OF
REMOVING WATER SPOTS

May showers promote water
spots on clothes, as well as spring
flowers, This is especially true
on plain-color rayons and silks.
Splashes are less likely to show
on prints, especially those of all
over design.
To remove water spots, eXten-
sion clothing specialists at Ohio
State University first try rubbing
the fabric with fingernail or an
edge of coin, or simply rubbing
between the hands. Rubbing is
particularly effective on crepe
weaves. After the rub, they press
the whole garment with slightly
damp tissue paper or press cloth.
When loss of luster causes the
spot, they try pressing to bring
back the sheen and automatically
make the spot disappear.
These specialists recommend
looking for labels on ready-madc
garments, guaranteed against
water spotting. This is important
for dresses that cannot be washed
and for coat Innings.
