from a study of 500 companies.
(War scare buying swampeC
many manufacturers with orders
beyond their capacities, National
City economists observed. At the
same time, some industries such as
tobacco, clothing, office and rail
way equipment found their profit
margins squeezed by rising costs
and taxes, the bank declared.
National City expressed oppos-
ition to excess profit taxes, never
theless. The banks economists in
sisted that the idea behind them
fair return and. average earnings
are unconnected with a war emer-
gency and "might prove to be an
entering wedge for a permanent
system of profit control"--a notion
which seemed to give National
City the horrors.
National City thinking was
further exemplified by w. Ran
dolph Burgess, chairman of the
banks board. Speaking before a
Chamber Of Commerce group, Bur-
.gess insisted "We should tax spend
ing and not production"
C''Taxing spending will encour-
age saving" he declared. "This is
a strong argument for more excise
taxes rather than more income
taxes - corporate or individual" +"
His idea seemed to be to cut con-
sumner buying, for heavier excise
taxes would fall directly on the con-
sumers, observers pointed out.)

Union Leader
Praised By Press
And Employers

Philadelphia LPA) - Charlie!
Weinstein, vice president Of th'
Amalgamated Clothing Workers il
this area, has been reaping plaud
its from management and tht
press.
Latest to sing his praises is J
A. Livingston, financial columns
for the ultra a-conservative Philadel
phia Bulletin. In his syndicatec
column for Nov. /, Livingston tells
how Weinstein ducked the honor'
the employers wanted to bestoW
because he was afraid the worker:
would not think he was doing his
job.
The bosses finally went TO jacob
Potofsky, ACW president, for per
mission. He told them: 1f you
honor Charlie Weinstein, you honor
the union-go ahead"
The upshot was a dinner attend
ed by 1900 persons at a cost OF
$4,000 and Weinstein was named
Man-of -the-Year for 1850 by the
Philadelphia Mems Apparel Asso-
citation.
Weinstein's secret lies in high
productivity, according to Livings-
ton. He says that union experts 60
into the shops and figure out ways
of cutting costs while raising
wages. In the Il years Weinstein
has been here, this city's share of
mems clothing production in the
nation has gone from nine to IA
percent. SO highly is he regarded
that when II. Daroff & Sons recent
ly brought Worsted-Tex in Balti-
more they asked permission from
ACW for Weinstein to handle nego-
tiations even though the plant is
outside the Philadelphia area.
As concrete evidence of their re
spect for Weinstein the employers
are splitting the 81 100000 cost for
of the Sidney Hillman
Medical Center for clothing work
ers here. The manufacturers have
also agreed to foot the bills at the
center, estimated at $250,000 a
year.

Rip Businessmen Who Take
Advantage Of Shortages To
Reap Opportunity Profits

Houston, Tex. (LPA)-W. Stuart
Symington, chairman of the Ma
tional Security Resources Board
and chief coordinator of defense
mobilization, is sore at the pro-
fiteers.
Speaking at convention here Of
the Theater Owners of America,
Nov. 2, Symington ripped into bus
inessmen who take advantage of
shortages and mounting demands
to reap opportunity profits"
"The threat of initiation is as
great peril to our democratic in
stitutions as the curse of commun-
ism," Symington declared, adding
that President Truman was "de-
termined" to take whatever steps
We're necessary to lick the initiation
problem.
Nevertheless, the NSRB chair
man said, in some fields "price in
creases have been taken in antici-
patton of price controls being
established at the higher levels. f"
He insisted that the rises would be
carefully scrutinized should it be-
come necessary to impose full price
controls and threatened rollback
to pre-Korean price levels in those
industries which have raised prices
W h out Justification. Profiteers
would have no right to complain.
Labor has been protesting about
price rises, Symington said More
over, he declared, labor is correct
when it contends that such in
creases constitute cuts in take
home pay.
What a bitter irony if we fail
ed because of selfishness and
Indifference" the mobilization chief
said. But we're not going to fail,
he emphasized in effect, because
the people and the government are
going to win the fight against in
flation. If possible, they are going
to win with "a few seIective CON
trolls and with higher tax policy"
he declared. But if they cant win
it this way, we are going to impose
whatever controls and issue what
ever directives are necessary"
To drive home his points, Sym
ington singled out the domestic
copper mining industry which has
insisted on retention of high tar
iff on foreign copper despite the
fact that the US must now import
35 percent Of the copper we use.
Fight for the tariff has been led by
a copper magnate "who believes
production should be held down,
but not his opportunity profits" u
the NSRB chairman said. He told
his listeners that this copper ex-
ecutiye's company made moreI
money in the second quarter of|
1850 than in the entire year 1945.
Meanwhile, a new picture of the
profit situation was issued by al
conservative source, the National
City Bank Of New York. The pic
ture was about the same as the oneI
labor leaders and other liberals
have painted.
(Said the banks November news
letter: profits for the first ninel
months Of 1850 were 81 percent
above the same period last year; in |
the third quarter alone, profits
were set in steel, automobiles,

Coal Miners Letter
Written BY Hartley

Washington (LPA) - Former
Congressman Fred Hartley has
been revealed as the source of an
anti-labor letter supposedly cir
culated by a disgruntled coal miner.
A reporter for Labor, weekly
newspaper for Is railroad organ
izations, checked the origin of 10O,-
600 letters mailed by Lloyd H.
Sidener and found they came from
the office of the Free Workers
Political Action Committee here,
headed by Hartley.
Sidener is a former president of
the United Mine Workers local in
Canton, Ill. who was expelled last
February when he attempted to
lead a back to-work movement dur
ing strike. The FWPAC is the
successor to Toll Owners Union,
Inc, which was dissolved because
it could not spend money for poll
tical purposes as it was corpora
tion. Hartley also headed the Tool
Owners.

Here's Answer To NLRB Backlog

Tarpon Springs, Fla. (LPA)-
Here's one reason the NLRB has
backlogs. A petition by the Int'l

After a series of delaying actions
by the company, the Board ordered
the reinstatement of the men with
back pay.

Earnings At So Year Peak, US Steel
Wants Price Nike For Wage Increase

Pittsburgh (LPA) - Although
earnings of US Steel Corporation
are at a 33-year peak, an increas
in prices is ''inevitable" if the in
dustry has to grant any "substan
tial' increases in wages.
So declared Irving S. Olds, chair
man of the board, as negotiation
with the CIO Steelworkers fo,
10, 900 workers entered a more de
cisive stage, with the negotiating
committee streamlined to 10 mer
for each side.
Olds was thus echoing Ben Fair
less of US Steel, who has said thai
steel prices are far too low, anC
Admiral Ben Morreell of Jones &
Laughlin, who has said that stee
prices are depressed compared
with prices in other industries.
President Philip Murray of the
Steelworkers has pointed out that
the steel industry is "prospering
as it has never prospered in its his
tory" and the earnings figures
bear him out. For the second quar-
ter of 1850 profits after taxes for
the major steel companies ranged
from a high of 35.4 percent to a
low of 11.9 percent, but averaged
1871 percent. Profits for the third
quarter showed tremendous in
creases.
But Eugene Grace, chairman of
the board of Bethlehem, has said
81 know of no justification of an
economic character for any increase
in wages" He made that statement
on the day Bethlehem declared a
81 dividend, largest since 1887. He
too said that any wage boosts
would have to come from increases
in prices.
Many steel companies have al
ready boosted prices, and Olds was
crying poor in the face of the evid-
ence. So high were US Steel third
quarter earnings that it declared
a special dividend Of rs cents in
addition to the regular 75-cent
dividend. Profits for the third
quarter were $59,742,302, against
$39, III, ,144 in the third quarter of
1949. Profits for the first nine
of 1850 were $178,821 $40,
or "a percent above the $133 ,223,-
400 in the first nine months of
1949. Earnings were the highest
for a nine-month period since 1917.
Prices have already been upped
SO to $12 ton by Jones & Laugh
lin, Pittsburgh Steel, Follansbee,
Inland, Northwestern Steel
and Wire, Keystone Steel and
Wire, Niles Rolling Mill, and
Roller Bearing.
The steel industry, which has
been assailed by economists for
their "timidity and shortsighted
ness" is also timid about telling
how much it spends on lobbying.
US Steel, for example, told the
House Lobby Investigating COM
mittee that it spends nothing for
lobbying, but records show that it
gave $4,000 to the Foundation for
Education, which is not
as a lobby but is consid-
cred such by most observers. In
and and National also refused to
reply to the committees requests
for information. The records show
hat Armco Steel gave S29,500 in|
.hree years to the Committee for
Constitutional Cove en- t, an
anti-Fair Deal lobby,
and considered the key in an anti
abor lobby network. Republic Steel

Medicine In US
"A Business First,
Says Vet Doctor

Madison, Wis. (LPA)-"Medicine
in the United States is a business
first, and secondly a science, pro
fession and art"
It's a doctor who says so. Writ
ing in the Progressive magazine
for November, DR.. James Peter
Warbasse points out that 'How's
business ?" is the way doctors often
greet each other. What's more, he
says, doctors make business for
themselves by performing unnec-
essary operations or by simple in
jections that keep a patient COM
ing back for more treatments.
In addition, says Warbasse, the
American Medical Association has
f ou h t cooperative prepayment
medical insurance plans so long
that they are making political ac-
tion practically inevitable, even
though a political solution may
have bad features. Trouble is, the
doctors have preferred to compete
among themselves for patients
after the patients became i'll. To
make matters worse, few doctors
keep up with new medical litera-
ture and most doctors treat symp-
toms without diagnosis.
"Just what could be expected of
doctors practicing true to the STAN
dards of the American Medical AS
sociation ?" Warbasse asks. "How
are they occupied? They are sitting
in their offices waiting for calam-
ity to strike a human being. This
places them in a position similar
to the undertaker's. These two
groups live by disaster. Their pros
perity rises and falls with the
amount of calamity. | can remem-
Der when an old practitioner said
to me, 4 count on the typhoid cases
among people returning from their
vacations in the fall to carry me
through the winter" doctors
can't count on typhoid any more,
though, says Warbasse. The bac-
teriologists have licked it,
DR.. Warbasse punctures some of
the myths which the ANA likes to
broadcast to the public, notably the|
concept that ordinary doctors are|
responsible for medical progress.
"The interesting fact is" he says,
"that the progress of medicine, the
of diseases, and the leng-
thening of life have come about
despite the individualistic, compe-
titive methods of the DOCTORS"
It's a long time since a general
practitioner contributed anything
new to medicine, he insists. Modern
discoveries have been made by 're-
search scientists working in insti-
tutional laboratories with salaries
largely from political govern
He points out that the conquest
of infections was accomplished byl
psychologists, not by doctors. He
says, "The drugs for the treatment
of syphilis and the other new drugs
the sulfa compounds, penicillin,
streptomycin and the rest-werel
by scientists in the
fields of biology, bacteriology,l
chemistry, and even agronomy." He
adds that the biophysicists, not the
doctors, are leading the way to-
ward the solution of the cancer
problem"
