Rail Brotherhood
Vote To Strike
For 4O-hour Week

Chicago (LPA)-Strike threats
against the "Iron Horse" increased
this week. The Railroad Trainmen
and Railway Conductors announced
95.5 per cent of their members had
voted to authorize a nationwide
strike. These two Brotherhoods
represent over 250,000 workers in
train and yard service.
Under the Railway Labor Act,
President Truman will name an
Emergency (Fact- Finding) Board
to hear the dispute. That will defer
showdown for at least 60 days.
At stake are demands of the
BrotherhOods for a 40-hour week
for men in yard service, adjustment
of wage inequities and improve
ments in working conditions for
conductors and trainmen in all
classes of service. The unions first
served the demands almost a year
ago. In prolonged subsequent nego-
tiations, and many weeks of gov
ernment mediation, the manage
ments gave no ground, the unions
charged.
Meantime, members of four Bro
therhoods-the Trainmen, Conduc-
tors, Locomotive Engineers and
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
overwhelmingly for
strike as a last resort on the Texas
& Pacific Railroad to secure settle
ment of 1400 accumulated griev-
ances.
A threatened strike by the En-
gineers, and by the Firemen and
on the st. Louis Term

Feb. 1O-was deferred to Feb. 25,

News und Views
&C -. By ALEXANDER S. LIPsETT Can ILNs F,

Underscoring this trend is the
unrest among labor, which in re
cent weeks eliminated in the coal
Chrysler, and telephone crises. The
latter has been averted at the last
moment, thus affording a short
respite. On the coal front, however,
matters have reached a point
which, politically speaking, would
spell disaster to the Democrats if
the elections were held tomorrow.
News reports from the coal fields
show the resentment of the miners
and their readiness to take it out of
the Democratic hide as soon as
they have a chance. Said the pres
ident Of the UNIV local in Browns
vile, Pa: Things are working out
just like they do in Russia. Instead
of giving US a contract, they are
trying to make US work with a
club" And from the president of
UNIV District II, Charleston, w.
Va: Democrats like to holler
what they're doing for labor, then
throw the union movement back to
the days before repeal of the Nor
ris-La Guardia Act"
whether the miners will final
ly obey the government injunction
to return to work remains to be
seen. They now seem fully deter
mined to stay away from the pits
until contract has been signed.
Another possibility mentioned by
a West Virginia union official is
that the men might be forced back,
but "actual production will slow
down so much that the operators
will be glad to make a contract
with Lewis. ."-Editor.)
!. X X r'
The Democrats are of course
aware of the disaster staring them
in the face. They have tried to
straddle the issue and find them
selves now sitting on the floor, a
position hardly befitting the Pres
ident of the United States and his
party. Their principal hope is that
matters will be Strengthened out
and forgotten by the time the Nov
ember election rolls around. They
also hope that the Republican party |
will not be found wanting in MAX |
ing the Democrats appear as the |
lesser evil in 1862. They may be
right

Protest Navy Loyalty Oath

Washington (LPA)-Charles La
Toilette, national director Of AM
orleans for Democratic Action, has
protested the Navy's loyalty oath,
which requires applicants to swear
they are not members of any or
ganization on the Attorney Gener-
a's subversive list. LaFollette
pointed out that the "stool pigeon"
clause, asking that Navy person
mel attending meetings of such or
ganizations identify others by name
and address, is an imitation of Com
munist devices. "In our opinion"
he said, "the Navy Department is
leading the nation down a danger

Foes New Drive
Puts Coop Homes
Bill In Peril

Washington GPA) - A ne "
drive by private building interests
and real estate lobbies against the
middle income cooperative housing
bill has put the measure in peril
They have already succeeded in
having consideration by the full
Senate Banking Committee defer
red for two weeks. Friends Of the
measure called on all groups inter
ested in the bill to redouble their
efforts.
Having failed to make progress
with their previous arguments, foes
Of the measure trotted out new
objection that building more
houses would result in initiation.
Almost simultaneously, in both
Senate and House Banking com
mittees which are working on the
bill, opponents began arguing that
to build 250,000 reasonably priced
homes through cooperatives, with
federally-underwritten loans at
lower than the going interest rate,
would be a serious threat to the
economy.
The full Senate Banking Com
mittee voted to defer action on the
coop bill, which has attached to it
the authorizing section for under
writing loans to private honebuild-
ers through + e eral Housing
Agency, for two weeks from Feb.
8.
Action was taken after Senators
John Bricker Or, Ohio) and Will
lam Fulbright Cd, Ark.) argued
the new line of the real estate and
builders lobbies-that the coop
proposal was inflationary. They in
sisted that Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Frank McCabe be called
in Feb. 16 to discuss how it would
affect the economy, thus delaying
action.
Bricker got six votes out of the
in favor of killing the
:o-op section altogether, with six
against striking it out, and one not
voting. This vote was not formally
recorded, but indicates that the CO.
op measure will have tougher sail

new policy statement should have
chosen Liberty Against Socialism
as the major domestic issue of the
coming campaign is a bit hard to
understand. There are, as seasoned
observers point out, so many other
and more valid grounds on which
the Truman Administration can be
taken to backgrounds that come
/ closer to the mark than nebulous
slogans and high-falutin' argu-
ments which the average voter
finds difficult to understand.
This is not to disparage the Re-
publican stand on issues of vital
concern to the people. The pledge
that "we shall fight for our prin-
ciples with all the vigor with which
our forefathers fought to establish
what we now seek to advance and
perpetuate-human liberty and in
dividual dignity" is admirable. So
is the section: "We hold that gov
ernment can use its just powers to
foster national health, promote real
security for the aged, develop
sound agricultural and labor-man-
agement policies and advance civil
rights. These ideas are in keeping
with the earliest and finest Repub-
lican traditions !. The Democrats
have also professed these ideals,
but the stark truth is that after Is
years of Democratic control and
endless talk, they have reduced the
whole field to confusion and futi-
lity. The Administration is seeking
to make demagogic appeals rather
than enact sound legislation. 1t
seeks to keep glittering goals in
tact to lure votes in anticipation of
favorS to come.
!. X y
All the same, more is needed
than generalities, no matter how
sound. Senator Ives and other Re-
publican critics have made clear
that "the statement falls far short
of the provisions Of the 1948 party
platform; it fails to provide ade-
quate and appropriate answers to
the problems which are involved"
Others condemn the statement for
its failure to spell out adequately
the Republican alternatives to the
Fair Deal.
So much for the policy statement
which will soon be a forgotten do
cument. But where, one may ask,
is the political instinct of the op-
position when government incom-
petence and sharpening economic
decline furnish ready-made weap-
ons against the Democratic Admin
There are, first, the facts of eco
nomic life. Midi uary has
brought a new rise in unemploy-
ment to a postwar peak of 4,480,-
D00-much to the dismay of gov
ernment experts who only a few
weeks ago gleefully proclaimed
1850 as banner year. The As mill
ion figure, incidentally, is extreme
y conservative since it leaves out
Dart-time and temporarily laid-off
estimated at 100000. 1t
justifies to some extent the pre-
liction in the December 1949 AFL
Survey that workers look
forward to 1850 with much concern
,ver the increase in unemployment
which seems sure to develop"
